| ![]() The Pune dealer, Crystal Honda calls my Honta City 2011 automatic for servicing every 3 months. I send it once a year but what is the actual service schedule? Also if you dont check they make sure to get unnecessary ac deodorising, interior cleaning and other random stuff done. Must be earning loads of money because most clients wont be cautious enough to check the job card! |

| ![]() My experience with a Honda A.S.S has been with Pearl Honda in Gurgaon and I've seen them go through Honda's arrogant days (the times of the '08 City) and then the decline in the years later. From having to wait for a few days to get a service appointment, the A.S.S. is now only about 40% occupied on any day. Now, I get a call from them every month for some thing or the other: service reminder, airbag recall, new City launch etc. As for the servicing, I've never had issues with the quality of repairs or the manner in which repairs/replacements were suggested. |

Regarding their service, I never had any bad experience except untimely delivery and as mentioned by you unnecessary things like ac deodorising, interior cleaning and other random stuff. | |

Agree with you. In all fairness I have never had them pad their advice or bills. Last edited by V.Narayan : 25th February 2017 at 12:31. | |||

| ![]() Bought our City DX from Ring Road Honda, Peeragarhi, Delhi in 2003 and the 8 years it was with us, was serviced there only as it was the nearest service station. These people were always ready to change the entire body part even for a miniscule dent. It so happened once that I was there to collect my car after servicing and noticed that a driver of theirs was reversing another car and hit it against my car. The normal hue and cry followed after which they agreed to repair it at their cost. The ironic part was that in front of me itself they were telling the owner of the other car that “Saar this car had banged your car from behind and it is none of our mistake” |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Honda is known to bug customers for service every 3 months. This is a fact known to all Honda customers. How many time is the service reminder guy suppose to call if the call goes un-answered by you? I received 3 calls continuously from Linkway Honda Chandivali while driving to the point that i got annoyed, stopped the car, picked the phone and asked what is the urgency that you are calling so much ? The call was quickly disconnected from the other end. First of all Honda service manual does not say that the car needs to be serviced every 3 months. This seems to be a Honda dealer policy where they keep bothering the customers with unnecessary calls and SMS. My service is due in Mar (out of warranty 10 year old Civic) and i have been receiving calls and SMS from 1st week of Feb in the name of reminders. Finally today i gave that fellow a peace of my mind and have also blocked Linkways no on my phone. ![]() Last edited by sumeethaldankar : 2nd March 2017 at 01:26. |

My experience with Pushp Honda, Kanpur has been very good. We have two Civic AT and Brio AT. The only point I have found them wanting is that recently when I got my Civic serviced, they did not have synthetic oil in stock with either workshop. I found out that they have stopped stocking synth due to low demand. Next time I send the car i will put a can of synth in the boot. Now my Civic is with my son, and his City is with me, so the next iteration may be interesting. | |

| ![]() My 2010 Honda City's running has come down dramatically and thus service requirements have fallen to 1 every year. I get calls from ASPEN HONDA in my city practically every other day asking me to service my car. Initially I politely explained to the lady on the phone my situation and hence stop reminding about services. You won't believe they continued calling me minimum 15 times in the the last one month. Funny thing is that it's the same woman calling me every time. Now I'm a person of gentle disposition but I recently lost my cool at the lady and asked her to remove my name from her calling lists or else I'll take the matter to her higher-ups. I regret the blow out and soon realised she's been instructed by her higher ups to constantly bombard people with service reminders. I have had the car for close to 7 years now and everytime its gone for service I've never received service reminder calls only the calls to take my service feedback after its done. But since last my service at 86k in Nov the phone calls for the next service has been a constant irritant. |

| ![]() It is still at least once in 6 months! Just because the car isn't run doesn't mean that stuff doesn't continue to wear out. Oil changes for example will be needed reguiarly - 3..4 months for mineral, 6 months for semi synth, a full year is ok for a good quality fully synthetic oil like Shell Helix Ultra. Forget what the dealer claims, go by the service intervals defined in the user manual. It often says 6 months or XXXX kilometers, whichever comes first. |

| ![]() @hserus; If we assume the oil maker knows his oils a bit, and Honda engines are not made out of cardboard. Then starting from API-SF annual oil change is recommended by the oil companies. So I stick with the 12 month / 12,000km for all my cars which are out of warranty, irrespective of what type of oil, mineral, semi- or full synth I am using. |

| ![]() Are there any Honda car owners from Chennai who can comment on the after sales service of Chennai Honda dealers? Which one would you consider the best ? |

| ![]() Sundaram Honda is by far the best but they are very far from me. Capital Honda in Perungudi and Meenambakkam (and Pondy) is fairly reasonable, just don't get additional services like body wash / interior shampoo done from them, they occasionally slip up on that. |

| ![]() Thank you for the prompt reply. I actually skipped Sundaram because there was a thread specifically about their (bad) service. But that was an 2011 thread. Theu must have pulled up their socks now with more competition. I was considering Olympia and Mansarovar and Capital is far for me (Kilpauk). |
