Anyone know a good dealer in Southern California for Service, Preferably Orange County. As some of you know I just moved out here from the east coast with some major problems with dealers out there. Any info on good or bad dealer would be appreciated.

Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben

My experience in my 11 years out here is that 99.9% of SoCal car dealers are crooks, pure and simple. It's totally different from buying a car in the NY metropolitan area. Here they wear you down by misrepresenting their authority to make a deal, you negotiate for hours, then when you think you've made a deal, they say they have to run it by the manager, come back and you're at square one. It's exhausting.

If you're looking to buy, I'd go to Corona Honda. If you're looking for service, I'd definitely go to Weseloh Honda in San Juan Capistrano.

Good luck.

I had a good experience at Hardin Honda in Anaheim. I wish I could remember the name of the salesman, but sorry, can't...

I, too, had a good buying experience at Hardin. But whatever you do, STAY OUT of Thousand Oaks Honda!

In canada??? Seems a bit far. I just went down to Weseloh Honda and Tony seems to be a very nice guy and they have already done the grind fix and clutch fix for other people and the seatbelt recall.

Tony was my service rep at Weseloh who handled the tranny fix, clutch disk replacement and seatbelt fix. Weseloh Honda service is the best service I've run into in California for any car I've owned.

They're not high school dropouts. They're pros!
