Just looked at the beast, trying to find out if a mouse made a nest in it or something. All looks clear so far. But I noticed a bunch of oil pooled up on top of the motor from their sloppy oil change.

Time to find a new dealer I guess. Ugh. Honda dealerships out here are the absolute worst.

I have no idea. Closest alternative is piazza in south philly but that dealer chain are crooks too. Maybe their service isn’t as bad as their sales.

No decent indy places around you?

EV car life is bliss if you charge at home/work. And nightmare if you don’t.

Yeah so. Changed the air filter today. Got my handheld vacuum and rigged up a hose for this “dirty af” air box that it sits in.

Total time spent was 5 minutes. Air filter element was dirty and likely needed to be changed. Actually def needed to be changed since the “techs” poked a hole in it when they manhandled it out. There was nothing in the air box. It was completely clean. The Honda dealer “techs” after inspecting it also installed the filter the wrong way.

I bet the service writers top desk drawer has a bunch of crushed acorns and sticks and leaves and shit so he can “show” customers what they pulled out of their air filter after they sign up for $150+ of work.

Fucking liars. Not going back.

CaleDeRoo · Sun Jul 23, 2023 8:04 pm

Remember the article a few years ago of the dealer that had a bunch of old dirty filters in the parts room to show customers?

:member:

Haha yeah that’s what is happening here. I mean it did need to be changed but charging $150 or whatever is robbery.

Whoa how did they fuck the air filter up ? My tsx filter can only go in one way. Unless you’re talking cabin air. Then it makes sense.

I just do most things myself nowadays as it’s just a shit show otherwise

Cabin filter. It’s a rectangle. They put the short side of the filter in the long side of the box.
