Hey guys, looking to get two things taken care of with my Element that I never knew Honda had TSBs for, as I'm experiencing the exact issues that are being described in these two TSBs.

I'm sure there's at least one service advisor/tech for a local Honda dealership on here who can taken good care of me?

Thanks in advance!

I've always had good service with my Honda warranty in the Abbotsford Automall (forget the exact name of that particular dealership)

Due to proximity with work I go to westwood honda, always have a good experience there but there quite busy usually.

Had a TSB taken care of by Middlegate Honda a few years back. Was denied the same TSB by Surrey Honda.

Despite buying the car (05 Civic) from Westwood Honda in Port Moody, when the whole Takata airbag thing broke out - they gave us a bit of a hassle. They did not even call us to bring it in for the TSB! (BUT OH when we were due for an oil change we got mail, phone calls and voice msgs...) and when my grandma showed up to have it fixed (it was her car) they 'hummmed' and 'hawwed' at her... Eventually taking it in when she remained persistent.

and you know what, while we're on the subject of Westwood Honda (Lol) my girlfriend was ready to buy a Civic Coupe a few months ago - and the Sales rep she was with told her "The coupe is not avaliable till 2018 etc.. we should check out a Sedan instead!" as that is clearly all they had in stock...
Meanwhile on our way to Pizza Garden Downtown that same night we passed Burnaby Honda and they had a fleet of coupes outside. Fuck even the website was advertising the coupe LOL.

..But Ronald Type-R is workin there now... and never had issues with their parts dept.

If I recall correctly I think they mail out a letter to the registered owner of the recalled vehicle and advise them to bring it it? Also there was a long delay for the fixed airbag from takata

Technically he didn't lie to you. They (that dealer) were out of stock and he tried to sell a sedan to you. Could he have dealer traded one for you? Yes. But the thing about year end inventory is that nobody wants to trade if it's limited stock. So that's likely what transpired.

Any Honda dealer can do TSB's, Just find the closest one.
Not a big deal, Hondas are everywhere

Just an FYI, TSBs are not usually covered by warranty unless otherwise stated so if you were looking to get the issue taken care of for no charge, you'd be wasting your time unless you can actually confirm it is covered by some sort of warranty extension

^ That, they're just covered under the typical 3yr/60k warranty or the 5yr/100k drivetrain warranty. They do extend warranty for some issues, but only if stated so.

I think you misunderstood... He said that there will not be a Honda Civic Coupe Model until 2018. That is a lie. There is a 2016 coupe model. What he should of said, is that We (The dealer) are currently out of stock. Not 'Honda did not design a coupe for 2016... so here are some nice sedans yall should buy'
