[Resolved]  Honda — Unsatisfactory Service from Autho. Service Station

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Ref: Dealer name: INNOVATIVE MOTORS P. LTD, Dealer code: GJ10002, Invoice no:08IW17626,
Inv. Dt: 07/10/2008, Customer Code: CU60433, Cust. Name: ManojKumar T. Shah, 4th
Free Service coupon no: 781376, Activa Reg. no: GJ- 1- JA- 472

I am a customer of Honda since four years (we own two Activa and Unicorn) and a satisfactory customer. But my trust towards your authorized service station is now bit shaken due to my last three experiences from one of your reputed authorized Dealer and service station at Ahmedabad, INNOVATIVE HONDA, Innovative Motors Pvt. Ltd., Swastik 4 Way, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad- 380009, was not at all satisfactory and the response/ excuses which I received from their employees was worst.

I had given my Activa in service, free service, with Innovative Honda on 7th October 2008 and later, when I received my vehicle from service, it was in the same condition as I left in the morning. They only dusted the vehicle from outside and from inside the vehicle was in the same condition in which I had given and when I asked the reason for the same they gave an excuse to me saying, that the blower was not working and so the activa was not serviced properly, this was ridiculous and indigestible excuse, that how come the vehicle was cleaned from outer side and when it came for inside cleaning the blower stopped working. I mean do they consider the customers as fools or something that they can give any silly crap reason and we will accept the same. This is not the first time it happened. This kind of behavior was for the third time and each and every time they people have some or other kind of excuse. It’s good that this service station works for 365 days but it’s not the reason that they can cheat their customers in this way. Previously, I used to give my activa for service with Apex Honda in Maninagar, and I had very satisfactory experience with them but due to my personal reasons I can’t give my activa in Maninagar and so I opted for above mentioned service station as it was near to my working premises.
With such a kind of behaviour from such reputed service station, keep me thinking that the spare parts and oil which they replace on requirement do they match the standards or not and do they really replace those parts or you just make your customers fools by telling them that oil is changed or spare parts are replaced.
I would appreciate if this complaint is taken in positive way and some internal checks are implemented to assure the customers that they are at right place and will be provided satisfactory services without which i may have to go to consumer forum
Hope to hear a positive response from your side.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Regards

Ref: Dealer name: DHINGRA HONDA, Navada, New Delhi
Dealer code: DL 010008,
Invoice no: 09IW03627, Inv. Dt: 16/07/2009,
Customer Code: CU15077, Cust. Name: Jagdish Singh, 745 Ph-2, Sec 13-B, Dwarka, Delhi
I used to do servicing and all on Honda dealers only. But last 2-3 experiences were horrible.

My activa was consuming the engine oil little fast. So they advised for engine repair. It cost me around 6+ thousand. They serviced the activa engine on 16/07/2009, after keeping the activa for around 7 days.
After this, bad time of activa started. After 7 or 8 days. The new piston got choked in between the road. They refused to do anything because they don't have any guarantee/warranty of their service. I talked to they incharge also, but of no use.

This is only one experience with DHINGRA HONDA dealer Navada, New delhi. People working there are seriously not capable of doing anything serious on Activa rather than little serviceing and washing.

I was planning to but a Honda stunner also, but I can not think of going to service station which does not have any capable man.
