After bring my Honda to Honest One New Hope for the last six months, I had an awful customer service experience there today. There is a little bird stuck somewhere in my wheel well or by the air intake chamber. The poor thing was flapping and squawking and the guys at Honest One refused to do anything unless I paid a huge labor fee to "tear everything apart to find it". I asked if they could simply remove the splash guard so I could check the wheel well. They angrily refused unless they could charge their crazy fee. I asked if they thought I should just let the little think die and rot somewhere in, on or under my vehicle. They told me no but if you pay our fee you wont have to. I would have thought the $1000 dollars we have spent at Honest One in the last year might have been worth them at least taking a look to help a loyal customer. Tonight I learned that's not how they operate. I think they thought since I was a female they could raise their voice to me with other customers in the lobby area and make me feel intimidated. They thought wrong and I will be filing a formal complaint with the GM to address the way they treat customers. I also will not ever bring my vehicle back to Honest One.
Thank you for bringing your experience to our attention, Monica. You stated that the bird had stopped making sound and might be dead or gone. While we appreciate your business, but we couldn’t offer to take your car apart looking for a bird that might not be in your vehicle at no cost to you. We offered to charge you our normal hourly rate to look for the bird, but you were looking for a shop that would look for the bird for free. We apologize if you feel that our technician raised his voice to you. We in no way meant to intimidate you. We treat all of our customers with respect no matter what gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation they may be. Our main concern has always been the safety and satisfaction of our customers. If you would like to discuss your situation in more detail, please reach out to our Regional Developer, Randy Rada at 763-535-5599.
