Does the Dealer know or care? I moved to Bowmanville in 2011, without even considering other options I started taking my 2005 Accord to Clarington Honda for service. I was happy wi I moved to Bowmanville in 2011, without even considering other options I started taking my 2005 Accord to Clarington Honda for service. I was happy with the service, felt the price was a bit high but also felt it was quality I could trust. Then I brought my car in to drop off and was informed the driver who would drive me home had left. I was told (correctly or incorrectly) I had to be there by 5 in order to get a drive home. I called from my office in Newcastle to confirm and made it there by 5-to5 a 10 minute drive. And.............the driver had gone home. I vowed to never go back. (This visit was for a recall so I had to go back.) Since then I've been going to a very affordable mechanic who seems like a great mechanic but way too busy. As my car is 10 years old I wanted a certified Honda Dealer to look at it. And (sorry for the long email) back when I vowed to never return I felt bad I had given the Dealer an opportunity to hear of my experience. I called there today to book a service appointment and likely spoke to the same woman from my previous visit. Her attitude was abrupt, self righteous a real..."The customer is always wrong" attitude. I couldn't believe it. I'm still going to go to a Honda Dealership for service.....just not this one. Who owns this Dealership and are they aware of the problem. Maybe the women on the phone is the owner. That would explain a lot. More

Had a very simple service done. Charges $53 and all 3 competitors charges $20. No help when asked to explain why charges were 250% higher. competitors charges $20. No help when asked to explain why charges were 250% higher. More
I boought a used Honda Civic for a friend and was very dissatisfied when we picked up the vehicle. The car showed empty on the gas gauge and I mentioned same to the salesman. He appeared unconcerned stat dissatisfied when we picked up the vehicle. The car showed empty on the gas gauge and I mentioned same to the salesman. He appeared unconcerned stating that the vehicle had plenty of gas to get to Toronto. We did not get off the lot and the yellow feed me light glowed on the dash indicating impending empty.. Seen as we had to drive 30 miles we put $53.00 worth of gat at the nearby station. Tires may have passed inspection but one blew 10 days later. I will not make the mistake of dealing there again and I have owned honda products for 9 years. More
Sale associate was excellent (Mike Fraser), fought for the best deal possible for us. This is the second brand new Civic we have bought here. First new car we purchased the Financial Adviser's name was Fr the best deal possible for us. This is the second brand new Civic we have bought here. First new car we purchased the Financial Adviser's name was Frank, was very unimpressed, he was very pushy and would not take no for an answer. Thankfully this time around he was no longer employed and his replacement, Mike Fan, was excellent and very understanding. Both transactions went smoothly. The only hiccup we have had is when picking up our 2013 I notice one of the lug nuts seemed loose, under closer inspection the nut was tight but no where near bottomed on the wheel. The stud had been stripped. This should NOT happen during PDI, especially on a car with 7 km on it right before the new owners are about to pick it up. However, they quickly brought the car into the shop, made us comfortable in the showroom and replaced it promptly constantly apologizing. Obviously not the showroom staff's fault. Overall good experience, have only ever been to 1 better dealer, most are below par in expectations. Its nice when you find a half decent one. More
Clarington honda's staff makes the experience of buying a new car pleasant rather than streesfull. I would highly recommend buying a new/used vehicle from these guys. new car pleasant rather than streesfull. I would highly recommend buying a new/used vehicle from these guys. More
Michael was friendly and upfront with us when we leased our new vehicle. Not only that but when I had some issues with the adjustment costs relating to the wear and tear on our old vehicle, Michael was abl our new vehicle. Not only that but when I had some issues with the adjustment costs relating to the wear and tear on our old vehicle, Michael was able to get the issue resolved much to our satisfaction. I feel free to email him any time I have any questions. He even calls when we have a service due to say he's looking forward to seeing us. This man understands sales and how to build customer loyalty! More
Great Dealership. There were no hassles. We intended to buy a van/SUV back in Sept. But ran into a few unexpected large emergency expenditures. We were not hassled by any sales people like some dealership buy a van/SUV back in Sept. But ran into a few unexpected large emergency expenditures. We were not hassled by any sales people like some dealerships which hounded us until I just stopped answering there calls. When we were ready to test drive we were allowed to set up our car seat and take our child with us to see how easy it was to get in and out of the different vehicles. I would highly recommend them. We actually went out of our way to go to Bowmanville when there was another Honda dealership around the corner from us. Thank you Clarington Honda, More
My wife and I just bought a new Honda Pilot, and the service we received from everyone at the dealership was outstanding. From the moment we entered the dealership, the overwhelming vibe we received wa service we received from everyone at the dealership was outstanding. From the moment we entered the dealership, the overwhelming vibe we received was one of professionalism and a very strong level of trust. Yes, I am writing about a car dealership!!! Mike, our salesperson was very welcoming and engaging. After getting to know him over the period of a few days, I am convinced that he will go well above and beyond the call of duty to make sure our experience at Clarington Honda remains positive. Being a responsible consumer, we did shop around, and were treated very poorly both socially and financially at another Honda dealership in the area. I highly recommend Mike and the entire team at Clarington Honda, and I would also not hesitate to purchase another vehicle from them as well. More
Amazing sales experience. My sales person Mike Fraser and his management staff worked very hard to assist me in getting out of an expensive lease from another manufacture. They had incredible patience and we his management staff worked very hard to assist me in getting out of an expensive lease from another manufacture. They had incredible patience and were extremely professional and friendly through out the transaction. Mike has twice followed up to ensure my satisfaction. I would certainly recommended Clarington Honda to anyone looking for a new car. Their willingness to assist their customer and their professionalism is a cut above. Refreshing for the car business.
