Dear Mrsquimbs, Thank you for your review. As we discussed, we are willing to replace the headliner once the leak is repaired, even though the vehicle is not under warranty. Please contact me once Dodge has completed the repairs. Sincerely, Justin Callahan, Sales Manager

Unfortunately, I can’t respect a Honda dealership who doesn’t associate needs for Honda service with a potential purchase (at that time or later). I made all the calls, I pursued the information...I don More

Dear Kay, Thank you for posting your review regarding your experience. As we have explained, when you came in for a simple oil change we did not touch your vehicle’s A/C system. The fact that your A/C had issues shortly afterwards is a complete coincidence. Sincerely, Jay Biggerstaff, General Manager

Jay - What is your ridiculous response based on? To date, you have not returned a single call or spoken with me. I would love to know how you came to the above conclusion above considering crown honda has still not completed a diagnostic (as promised). To the Public: Below is an accurate update (Do not be deceive by jay) On January 7th, my father stopped by the service center to speak with the manager regarding the damage crown honda did to my AC. John Veltri spoke with my dad (again, John was unhelpful as before), when my dad questioned why no one had gotten back to me regarding the issue, John replied that it was due to the bad public review I left. Alerting the public of the malicious practices of this service center aside, john said he would try and fit my car in for a diagnostic the following day if time permitted (what a guy to TRY and fit me in after nearly 2 months of unanswered calls). On January 8th, the service team pull my vehicle into the back shop and did Lord knows what to my car (they were supposed to just take a LOOK at the AC). after a while, their power went out and they said they could not look at the car so it would need to be rescheduled. Anyways, that same afternoon (hours after being given the car back and leaving) Michelle calls me to say that they left a lug nut off. My initial thought is why were any lug nuts removed to begin with? So I went to check my car and sure enough a lug nut from the wheel was now missing. Needless to say I left work early to go back and have them replace the lug nut, so I wouldn't be driving with a safety hazard!!!!! Why were lug nuts removed from my wheel in the 1st place is what I'd still like to know, since according to Michelle, the technician never did diagnosis the issue (she was telling me to come back again). Needless to say, I will not be leaving my var with this careless dealer again, my once fully functional AC is not broken and I could have literally lost a wheel and/or injured myself or my vehicle by them leaving a lug nut off my wheel. I will be sending them a bill once I have a reputable shop diagnose my car. If you value your time, life, and/or vehicle try and find a reliable shop because this place is clearly not it.

Update: Turns out the dealership swapped the fuse for my AC while it was in service. I took my car to an honest shop and they quickly identified the issue. Crown Honda swapped my original fuse for a dud then attempted to sell me a frivolous $1,500 AC repair. What crooks! Do not service your car here, St. Pete has some shady dealerships.

We appreciate you taking the time to post a review of your recent experience in our dealership and we are saddened to hear that you felt that it was not satisfactory. Regarding the price of the vehicle, as we explained and clearly advertise online, our used inventory pricing is based on our Live Market Pricing strategy where we dynamically price all used vehicles to be highly competitive, and unquestionably fair, when compared with any like vehicles (based on make, model, year, features, mileage, condition etc.). We simply do not negotiate on our used inventory because the prices are very competitive and usually lower than comparable vehicles. We apologize if this was not to your satisfaction. Sincerely, Vince Valenty, Pre-Owned Sales Manager

Not gonna lie John you've been great but I am still not 100% happy ... When I dropped my car off before my vacation I informened you of my days of travel and wanted to speak with the GM and he so conveniently called me on the days I specified I was traveling ... When I finally got my car back it still wasnt detailed on the interior and I pay extra for the cosmetic package ... Pretty sure the work done was a cosmetic issue!!! Pleas let me know when i can brig it in for the full detail!!! Thanks
