Perth Honda dealers for servicing

[ricsvtr]

Does anyone have any experiences whether good or bad regarding Perth Honda dealers for servicing?

No matter where you go, there will be people who have had good experience and people who have bad experience.

Being in Perth, there are only 3 dealers to chose from; Prestige, Burswood and Honda North. Just pick the one closest to you, and see if you are satisfied. If not, move on. Should you find yourself complete dissatisfied with all three, you can always go to HonMaz in Nedlands, but not servicing your car at a dealer means you will miss out on campaigns Honda bring out if your car is brand new.

Honda North are dicks. I did get my CL9 from there though.
I used to get my euro's serviced at Burswood when I was in Perth. They are great to deal with!

Burswood Honda are good to deal with

Paid $235 for 10k service on CU2 last time I went there.

Maybe we should start comparing price vs quality of service

cartel customs - the guy that runs it, raul used to be the head mechanic at prestige or something

Service means everything when you're paying $100's for an oil change and a stamp. You would think Honda North were selling Maybach's judging by their stuck up rude attitudes. Funny enough, the guys across the street at Audi are great. They let me sit in the R8 V10!!!! Bastards wouldn't let me drive it though....

If anyone here from Perth has a Toyota, Galleria Toyota is the bestest Toyota dealer in Australia! Awesome guys there.

Bringing this back to life.

In Perth I'm spending $800 a year on our 2010 Accord Euro's servicing with Honda North - ridiculous. And I can't even ask them NOT to do rotating and balancing it has to be included in their service cost. Mind you the dealer in Brisbane was only marginally cheaper.

My Lotus dealer (also Ferrari, Lamborghini dealer) charges me less to service a 9 year old mid-engine Elise that does track work!

Come on where can I go for reasonable cost?

[Type R Positive]

If you want a stamp, just get it done at Repco or the likes. The minor service is just an oil change. No filters, nothing. Just oil.......

Trying not to name and shame here - a Honda dealer, North of the river have a strong reputation for being asses. Would suggest trying Burswood

just curious, if anyone has tried wangara honda.

i called them up for parts, and boy were they pricey!

Just got my new jazz serviced at a dealer north of the river
And lets just say there are swirl marks and light scratches from an incompetent car washer
So much for paint protection...

wouldnt step into that dealership for anything, unless of course, i was tyre kicking. but at least now you know who to go to.

they're not detailers either, nor do they expect a Honda customer to know a what swirls are..

they just give it a wipe rather than a decent wash, that's labour saved there!

dont forget the shiny tyre shine that is sloppily applied.

ive seen a few backpackers working there a few years ago, who had no idea how to wash cars properly.

[curtis265]

in alln honesty if i was the manager there i'd do it like that too

you'd get one in 1/50 jazz owners understand what a swirl is and then you'd get 1/10 of those actually willing complain about it

do you see where i'm coming from?

from a business POV, heck they are doing a great job.

charge dealership prices, pay backpacker wages (or thereabouts), and like you say, they can usually get away with it.

[Jasemas]

Unfortunately im a bit anal about these sorts of things on a new car
I was going to let it slid
Til i remembered I paid good money for that so called paint protection stuff
Then i got angry

[curtis265]

Paint protection is more of a warranty on the product

[lolmclol]

you mean people still go to that particular dealership that's north of the river?

lmzo

[Jasemas]

Thats under renovations :P
Then yes
