I'm feeling left out

, but my wipers were replaced on my Pilot's anniversary in June, and I check everything else regularly.

New wiper "inserts"....that's nice. But what if you've already changed to a superiour wiper, like Bosche?

I guess it's the thought that counts...

Hmmm... that must be from Honda Corporate right ? I got some notice from a local Honda dealer about their Customer Appreciation Day but did not get that wiper one.

Since I'm planning to take the car in for a 7,500 mile service in October...

I didn't get one, even though I have owned 4 Hondas. Currently we have a 99 Odyssey and the 03 Pilot. I feel soooooo unlappreciated...

Not surprisingly, kemosabe, since Criswell Honda was the midwife for both of our babies, I received that same "notice" in the mail. The same thing isn't sent out on behalf of every Honda dealer, though--I also deal with Shockley and haven't gotten the same mailing under their name.

But, alas, I just missed out on the fabulous Customer Appreciation offer. It was just last Saturday (Sept. 27) that Criswell performed a 10,000 mile service on my Pilot! I did use the 15% off coupon for that service they included in the same mailing. If I recall correctly, that brought the bill down to $81.

Not to drift too far from the topic, I was disappointed that Criswell, again, showed little interest in pursuing why I've consistently averaged mileage in the 16-17 mpg range. The service advisor said the only thing left to do would be to run a "computerized test" of the engine. When I asked if they could go ahead and do this on the same visit, he refused. In fact, he tried to discourage me from having it done at all, saying that "16-17 mpg is what I should expect to get in most driving conditions, especially with running AC." Never mind that I'd already told him most of my driving is on the highway, NOT running AC.

This dealership seems OK on service in most aspects, but they don't seem to feel that mileage well below what most others average is a problem.

I didn't get any such thing. I can do all those checks myself without going down to the dealer to "drink some Honda Kool-Aid". If they really want to show me some appreciation, thay can just mail me the #$%kin' wiper blades.

hondalover · 10-03-2003, 01:23 PM

I did not get either. It's because I have given "HONDA" a poor rating

Well, who cares? Honda does not appreciate all. It's a Pick and Choose policy.

I must say that "Customer Appreciation" ain't what it used to be.

Back when I bought my '86 Accord, "Customer Appreciation" meant a free oil change rather than a free wiper blade change!

I have not received October appreciation letter.

Do you think I should get it in November as "November appreciation letter"

OR may be Honda is biased OR may be I have given Honda a "WORST RATING" OR ...... Curious why I was left out?
