Completely disgusted, dissatisfied, and disappointed with the Winnipeg Honda Shop. They're nothing but crooked! We took in our 2014 Honda Accord v6 Touring as it was making rattling and jackhammer sounds and it had a problem shifting gear to gear. Honda had it for maybe 45 minutes before saying that they couldn't find the source of the problem and they recommended replacing the WHOLE TRANSMISSION WITH A USED TRANSMISSION WITH 118K KMS ON IT! For how much? Oh, ONLY $4000!!!!! ARE YOU INSANE? We paid them $200 for running their diagnostic tool and telling us our transmission needed to be replaced. So obviously we took it to someone else because our transmission was replaced around 150k to 180k kms BY THE SAME HONDA SHOP and it couldn't have already been shot by now. We took it to an independent mechanic who actually worked in Honda for 6 years. Guess what he found? The transmission had half a litre of transmission fluid and it had a leak. A visible leak that can been seen by the naked eye. He was shocked to hear that we had already taken it to Honda and they didn't see the leak. And they didn't even check the transmission fluid level. We had this independent mechanic fix the leak (washer was broken) and flush the transmission fluid and refill. Our accord purrs like a kitten again. The cost for his diagnostic, test drive, flush, and fix? $380 including materials.
This is absolutely disgusting that Winnipeg Honda would let us drive around with a dry transmission. We could have been in a serious accident! We could have died if it failed on the highway! You didn't even CHECK THE FLUID LEVELS! HOW USELESS CAN YOU BE! I am so enraged. You cost yourself a customer. I still need $1k in maintenance for other car parts but I'll never bring my car here again. By trying to pull a fast one you've lost all that maintenance cost and you've lost a further $40k because we're in the market to finance a new car. Congratulations for being slimey. Karma will get you back.
Copy pasted my Google review. I'll make sure to post this on Facebook too. Thieves.
The young lady was efficient and clear in how long and how much the work would take. She organized an Uber to take me home & pick me up at no expense to me. I was called when the work was complete and the uber arrived in minutes... transportation was much appreciated. Turn around time was very good.
