Honda Had Me Worried.

Talk about having me going. I took my car in to have it serviced by Honda. (20,000) required thing. Anyways. The guy walks out to me and says that they broke my lower air box holder, they had striped the screws out of it trying to check my air filter. I was like oh man. . this isn't good. Then he said that they would fix it, but it would take about a week to get in, and they would have to give me a call to stop in. . I was sitting there kinda getting upset wondering why on earth they aren't more careful with my baby!!. Anyways. He walks up a few minutes later and says don't worry. We have one in stock and they are just gonna put it on now. You don't have to come back. So I mean. . I was a little upset they they were careless, but they were honest and fixed it. I guess what happened what they used an air tool on it and those little screws are just put into plastic and easy to strip unless you hand tighten them down. So I guess $hit happens ya kinow. At least they fixed it no problems. Better than not telling me at all I suppose..

Yeah I would be pretty upset if I found out that my honda did that to me and didnt let me know. Sounds like your honda dealership is pretty honest =)

they wouldnt touch a brand new car,
they cant do that, they would never do that
its the whole thing with it being a brand new car, they wont remove a part from it for another car, coz then they have to order it for the car they took it off and then its not really brand new anymore blah, blah

just like the guy with the paint chip. They could have painted an aftermarket bumper.
