  I purchased the car from this dealership in 2021. I took it to a mechanic straight off of the lot and he told me the mileage had been tampered with, most likely rolled back at the dealership. Cut to 2 years later and my car is having problems. So I had it towed to Crest Honda, who assured me that they would contact me soon after an inspection. It has been two weeks. I have called a half-dozen times, each time being told that I would receive a call back the next business day. It has not happened. These people have stolen my vehicle and refuse to communicate with me. I am at **** end with this awful dealership that I'm about to report them to the dealership board of directors.

  On August 16, 2023, I was denied a test drive of a vehicle after manager ********************* stated I have been to the dealership several times. Crest Honda of *********, ** has given false information as to charges on the bill of sale. I have found the vehicle I would like to purchase from Crest Honda, which is a 2017 Honda Accord. However, it has been said since different dealers have worked me, I am not allowed to test drive a vehicle unless I have a co-signer for purchase. They have committed to helping me find the car I would like to purchase, yet now denying access to test drive any vehicle. Crest Honda has not reached out to me and the car is still available for purchase as of August 18, 2023.

  All guests are welcome to test drive any vehicle as long as guest has valid drivers license and insurance coverage. The vehicle of interest is no longer available as this review was sent to an associate that no longer works here. If the guest would like to visit dealership and test drive she is more than welcome.

  I recently purchased a vehicle from Crest Honda about 7 days ago and the vehicle is not as described, they also performed bad business. To start, the sunshade in the vehicle is broken, they gave me a hard time about fixing it and eventually ordered the part. I was later told the amount to order the part was added into my purchase price of the vehicle. When I received the vehicle after signing paperwork, it had no gas in it. I was told by Honda that they don't fill up used vehicles. The associate named **** advised me that the company is cheap, so don't be mad at him. Needless to say I purchased the vehicle then had to go straight to putting gas in it. Next I found out that when the car sits out in the rain, there is a smell of mold inside the vehicle when I get back into it. I've just driven the car for a week, and the oil light is on. Why is the oil light on if they perform the safety inspection and state on their website that all cars receive oil changes before they are sold? Was a safety inspection even performed? What other issues am I about to have? There are a ton of questions I have now and don't trust this dealership. I regret doing business with them. there are also bugs flying inside of my car now, when no windows were left open or down last night. The contract states it can be cancelled if the dealer and customer agree, and I would like my contract cancelled so I am able to take my business somewhere else.

  Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/07/20) */ Thank you for your recent purchase from us and guest satisfaction is of top priority. A sales associate should not say we are cheap and use an excuse of that nature as why we do not fill up used vehicles. Yes, all used vehicles go through an inspection before hitting the lot, oil and filter is changed. However, the oil light will come on if it is not reset at the time of the oil change. More than happy to reset that for you and inspect what the issue with the water leak and detail the vehicle for you so there is no smell. Please feel free to email or call me with any concerns. Thank you for your time. Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/07/21) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) The vehicle has been reset, the oil levels are low. I have attached pictures to show. The service described was not done on this vehicle, and therefore I as a customer an unable to trust this dealership. ****, the sales associate described the dealership as being too cheap to give their customer's gas, the response did not offer to reimburse for fuel purchased after purchasing a vehicle from them. I received the car with 20 miles to empty, so I could not even drive home with my vehicle. A simple detail and resetting sensors does not rectify the issues of an associate calling your company cheap when I was asking questions regarding my purchase, it does not rectify the smell coming from the vehicle after rain, it does not rectify being charged for fixing a feature the vehicle should have, it does not rectify the trust you've lost by not performing service on the car. All it does is support the claim from **** that the business is cheap. There needs to be a better resolution. Please see photos for proof of services not being performed as described by the dealer in their guarantee. Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2022/07/21) */ Our goal is to ensure guest satisfaction with every purchase from our dealership. We will be in contact directly with you to handle this situation. Thank you Consumer Response /* (3000, 13, 2022/07/25) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) It was stated I would be contacted directly by this dealership, but we are going into the third business day and I still have not received a phone call, text, or email from this business. I have received calls from them asking for a key to my trade in, and also notifying me that a coach from the ********* ****** purchased my trade in. I do believe that should not be information that was shared with me. As I continue to wait to have my concern resolved, attached you will see a receipt from where I had to purchase European oil for my vehicle. I did not want to damage the engine while waiting for a response from the dealership. Also you will see a snapshot of the clause from the contract stating the seller can agree to terminate the contract. I've lost complete trust in this dealership that a safety inspection was performed on this vehicle, as I should not have been required to fill my vehicle with oil within a week of purchase. I would like to have the return of this vehicle coordinated, my down payment returned, and I be allowed to take my business elsewhere. Business Response /* (4000, 15, 2022/07/25) */ Message and text message has been sent to the guest for response.

  More info

  I bought a used 2011 Honda ***** from Crest in November 2021. The salesperson claimed the car had been through a 164-point inspection to include the engine, engine mounts, alternator, transmission, and brakes. The car was producing a noise at the time of purchase, which I asked several times about, but the salesperson continually dismissed my concerns and assured me that the noise was normal and in fact that his older car, also a Honda sedan, made a similar sound. However, I ended up having to spend $700 out of pocket within a month of purchase in order to replace the alternator and the timing belt (the car stopped producing the noise after these issues were fixed). I have been in contact with Crest to attempt to resolve this issue, and the manager admitted that they do not, in fact, perform 164-point inspections on used vehicles at all, contrary to what the salesperson assured me. Further, they have made no attempt to resolve the issue that I spent $700 out of pocket to make major repairs on the car that I bought under the impression and on the condition that a 164-point inspection HAD been performed on the car.

  Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/02/18) */ All of our used cars have a safety inspection, oil and filter change, along with emissions test complete before we offer them for sale. Showed **** the repair order that was complete stating the inspection that was done and repairs. We do not want any guest to have issues with a vehicle after purchasing from us. However this vehicle was sold as is. We were not informed of any issues that she was having with the vehicle until after the $700 repairs were complete by her mechanic.
