I highly encourage people to avoid Acura of Fremont - ChrisCroswhite
I highly encourage people to avoid Acura of Fremont dealership. Both the sales and service departments of Acura Of Fremont have demonstrated consistent incompetency and potentially even fraud.
My adventure started when we purchased 2022 MDX w/Advance Package. - After spending the ~3 hours of signing all the documents and trying to up sell on various service packages (some seemed absolutely bogus), went home to wait 6 weeks for the vehicle to arrive (Oct 2021). 6 weeks later, told the vehicle was ready for pick up. Arrived onsite and told that all the paper work that had been filled out previously needed to be redone as the company used the wrong VIN. So another 2 hours and more up sell! After all that, you would have thought, okay let's go home, but nope, accessories that I had requested had not been installed, but worse, the car had not even been unwrapped after delivery! Another two hours of waiting (and hearing people yell obscenities at each other in the service and sales area), the car was made ready with the exception that the tailer hitch which was purchased with the vehicle 6 weeks prior, was missing a part (kick sensor) and could not be installed. At least I can take the vehicle. But alas, the first day ownership was still going south - received a call from the sales person and told that the mats were not completely installed and some of the mats in the vehicle needed to be returned, they were for a different customer! So yet another visit to the dealer.
Roll forward 3 months, called the dealer requesting status of the trailer hitch, told it was ready and to bring the vehicle in to install. Arrived and waited 3 hours to be told that it could not be installed, it was missing a part, the same part that was missing 3 months previous. Another 3 hours wasted.
Fast forward to Oct 2022 and the 1 year/10K service interval. Show up for the A12 service (no idea but was told it was this service) and asked if the trailer hitch was ready to install. Told it would be installed along with the service. 5 hours later, told, no the trailer hitch can't be installed as its still missing the same component as the previous two attempts. So another couple hours wasted! Drove the car home and noticed that the tires didn't appear to have been rotated. I know this because the one 'curbed' wheel was still on the same quarter of the vehicle. I then checked the cabin air filter and it too was not new (clearly dirty). I checked under the hood to see if the oil filter had been replaced, and definitely don't believe it was. So although invoice showed they did all these things, I am pretty confident that's not accurate. I then called and complained to service. Service person assured me that this will be brought up to the service manager and expect a call to reschedule the car to come in. However, two days later and yet another call to the dealer, I have yet to hear back from Acura Of Fremont. The management has been silent.
At this point I went to a different dealer and had them do the 1 year/10K service costing me $415 that should have already been done!
