Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint
First, I would like to correct some information on both sides of this issue On my side, the person who brought about the $bogus charge was named Corey (he is not the service manager who was off that day).The service manager, Dan did a wonderful job resolving our issue.Second, on their side, Matt Lthe general manager states in his response that an oversized drain bolt to provide a "solid fix" for the problem........I was told that an oversized bolt was used DURING the oil change, but there was no documentation of this, and we have never been notified of any weakness on the drain plug threads What actually occurred during the fix was that a crush washer was installed which stopped the major oil leak.Here is WHY I filed this complaint in the first place.........IF, as MgrMatt states in his response to my complant (and I quote) "Performance installed an oversized drain bolt, which helps to rethread the oil pan and is a solid fix for the problemPlease note that this is a good alternative to replacing the oil pan on high mileage vehicles." IF, IF, IF this is the case, than why would Corey try to charge my mother-in-law a $service? Why on God's green earth was this offered to her as the only possible solution and not a simple "oversized drain bolt" or even a crush washer?????Furthermore.........a simple google search, and the questioning of other ASE certified mechanics not employed by PHF Automotive yields a different conclusion than MgrMatt has presented about this being a common problem of high-milaged vehicles......apparently these threads get stripped by overtorquing (not using a torque wrench), or by cross-threading the bolt and damaging the threads This is not simply a Wear-and-Tear problem See: ***Or: ***These are just two examples...Bottom line, is Corey incompetent or dishonest by trying to take a nearly year-old woman to the proverbial cleaners by trying to charge her $with no other alternative offered for something that cost less than $dollars to remedy, not even getting into the issue of who should be responsible for a now obviously damaged oil pan which we are now stuck with for the life of the vehicle.Thank-you Matt for your time in response to this issue, but you are trying to, understandably, sugar-coat this situation, instead of apologizing for your Corey's actions or even trying to address our damaged oil pan (your techs make note of when a wiper needs changing & yet there is no record of this oil pan having any issue Ever.)

("Performance"). I would like to acknowledge receipt of the Revdex.com Complaint ID# [redacted] regarding [redacted] and his recent service experience with Performance ("Complaint"). After investigating this matter, kindly accept the following information in response to the Complaint.On or about March 16, 2017, [redacted] brought his [redacted] Honda [redacted] ("Vehicle") into Performance for an oil change and the Vehicle experienced some leaking after he took it home. In his Complaint, [redacted] stated that when he brought this to the attention of Performance, he was told he would have to pay $550 to fix the problem. Performance invited [redacted] to bring his Vehicle in on or about March 22, 2017, to investigate this matter in detail. On high mileage vehicles, it is not unusual to have the threads for the drain bolt, on aluminum oil pans, become Weak and eventually become stripped due to many oil changes. That appears to have happened in this case. Therefore, Performance installed an oversized drain bolt, which helps to rethread the oil pan and is a solid fix for the problem. Please note that this is a good alternative to replacing the oil pan on high mileage vehicles. Performance performed this service at no cost to [redacted]. Following this complimentary service visit, [redacted] indicated he was very satisfied with the result and therefore Performance considers this matter closed.Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance with this matter.Very truly yours, PERFORMANCE HONDAMatt L. General ManagerCC: Kevin A., General Counsel

Ltd dba Performance Honda ("Performance"). I would like to acknowledge receipt of the Revdex.com Complaint #[redacted] regarding [redacted] and her recent purchase from Performance ("Complaint"). After investigating this matter, kindly accept the following information in response to the Complaint. On or about April 11, 2016, Ms. [redacted] came to Performance to purchase a 2013 Kia Optima VIN#[redacted] ("Vehicle"). She was asked to pay extra to join a credit union to help in getting her approved for a loan. She paid the extra amount. There was a problem in getting her approved on the loan by herself because of how the taxes are filed in regards to the business owned by Mr. and Mrs. [redacted]. On or about May 28, 2016, Ms. [redacted] was able to satisfy the bank's requirement and came to Performance to complete new paperwork. As a goodwill gesture, Performance will pay an amount equivalent to one month's loan payment for the inconvenience this matter has caused Ms. [redacted]. Please note that Ms. [redacted] has accepted this offer and Performance considers this matter closed. Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation and assistance with this matter. Very truly yours, PERFORMANCE HONDA [redacted]General Manager

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
Performance Honda has never contact me to make effort to resolve the issue since the complaint was filed with the Revdex.com.1. The response never mentioned that the days the vehicle was returned to the store for further repair were all the same days the vehicle was picked up, e.g. 7/14/15, 7/18/15, and 8/24/16, which means that the repair was never satisfactory and I pointed out to them the problems every time. In addition every time when they called me and inform me the car is ready fr pick up, I remind them to make sure the car has been test driven and apparently, they never did.2. The response never addressed the real issue: My car has no steering issue to begin with, now the car can even drive straight when you hold the steering wheel straight. This is the heart of the dispute that needs to be fixed. Bear in mind that the car has no steering issue when I brought it in, while in the full possession of the service department, the issue developed. I have no access to the vehicle during this time. They have both keys of the car. 3. The response mentioned that they reprogrammed the keys, that is because they were doing guess work and replaced the ECU unnecessarily. 4. I also dispute many statements he made in the response. They are not true and cannot be true due to the simple fact that the many attempts that I have made to pickup the car, not a single time the car was functioning correctly. Hence they have been brought back every single time.Due to the above reason, I reject Performance Honda's response and will further escalate the issue until it is properly addressed.Thanks for your effort.
