Right after we pulled out the car from the shop, I noticed that the power door lock stopped functioning on the front and aft passenger areas. It was back into the shop for the Accord, where this time, they offered to replace the door lock actuators. It took another two additional trips to get the entire lock thing sorted out since it seemed that one door failed after another. Honda Cars Markina’s professionalism was brought to an all-time low when they forgot to bill us for the replaced actuator parts. Of course, we obliged to pay the bill as long as they show a copy of the parts charge. I was speechless to find out that they replaced the actuators with replacement parts, which they got from Winter Pine, a shop along G. Araneta Avenue—and here I was expecting genuine Honda parts to come from a Honda service center. After those two weeks of hell, the long-term Accord is back on the road and going about its regular duties. If there’s something to be learned from my recent service experience—don’t always trust the first diagnosis. Sometimes, unscrupulous service centers might charge you more, especially after the warranty has expired. This is especially true with Honda Cars Marikina, where I abhor their lack of transparency and knowledge to service vehicles correctly. |
