Well, I'm very happy with my dealer here in Albuquerque. Originally the manager had called American Honda for me and got them to agree to paying for 75% of my repair (I have a 2004 CRV with 73000 mi). I called American Honda myself trying to get a better deal, but they wouldn't budge. I pleaded with my dealer to see if they themselves would cover some of the labor cost (since I've been a good and long-term customer with them). They said they would see what they could do. In the meantime, I surrendered to the probability of having to go into debt on a credit card for $750. I HAD to get the A/C fixed, living here in the hot desert... I got a call that my car was ready (ahead of schedule) and also more good news - my bill was only $325. They had gotten Honda to pay for 90% of the repair!!! I have found that getting Honda repairs through the dealer really pays off, and it does really make a difference in Hondas when you use Honda parts.

Well I went to the dealer as Honda America requested that I confirm that my 03 CRV needed a new air conditioning compressor at the Honda dealer. They said this was the only way they could partially subsidize the repair. So it cost me $132.00 to get the confirmation that the AC compressor was bad then Honda said "Sorry but we won't pay anything". I certainly could have use the $132.00 elsewhere. I would rather spend it buying some ice than give it to Honda for getting nothing in return. Daniel |

AC stopped working on hot Sunday. Went to dealer and got the news that the entire AC system should be changed - about $2500. Fixed at local shop with $1500. The guy in the shop said that there is a something WRONG in the compressor and gave the defected compressor. Took the picture and posted into http://picasaweb.google.com/hatehonda/Desktop#5357308868950726546 Before fix it, contacted Honda America and got the very short answer - warranty is expired. The dealer said that contacting Honda America is not their business. I don't know the material and mechanics, but it should not be happened. Is it safety related issue?
