I tell them NO and stop by the Advance Auto Parts down the road and replace the air filters and wipers in their parking lot and save about $500. They did suggest a new battery but wanted $190 to replace it. Advance Auto Parts sold me one of their best for $90, installed it free and gave me a 3 year replacement warranty. Another $100 I'll keep. I know it's an Acura and all, but this place never fails to shock me at the prices they charge. i guess some people must let them do this otherwise they wouldn't tell me these ridiculous prices with a straight face. I'd have given them 1 star, but they did fix the wire for free.

Months back I started hearing noise that sounded like rubber on rubber while turning. I had the car services several times, changed breaks and such, I never mentioned that to anybody and nobody said that something needed to be fixed so I did not worry about it much. Noise got significantly louder over the past two months, so I decided to take the car for diagnostics at University Ford. I made an appointment online for one Friday at 1 PM. I get a call from them around 3 hrs before the appointment that they need a car in the morning for diagnostic. Ok.... So why was I able to make an appointment online?? Anyways.... I dropped off the car that Friday at 2 PM and left it there. I was informed they would try to have the diagnostic done by Monday morning. So they had 4 hrs on Friday and 8.5 hrs on Saturday. I was waiting for a call from Daniel with an update. He did not call so I called him and left a message. No call back. I called the service department number and left a message. No call back. Monday morning, I got a text with a report: replacement of rear differential, cost $3685.34 plus tax. What?? I called Daniel and I asked questions. Finally, I said ok. But it did not sit with me at all. I started researching that particular problem extensively and my car had NONE of the symptoms that would suggest such repair was needed. NONE. So, I called again and asked what exact part was failing and I was told they couldn't see the part because it was enclosed. They decided on that repair based on the sound. I asked: you do not see the damage, but you want to repair it??? I said: I want back every single part that is going to be replaced in my car. Then I did more research and it did not sit with me. According to my research, a failing differential makes a metal-on-metal sound, not rubber-on-rubber. And again, my car does not display any other symptoms. I called a friend who used to work for Ford for years and now trains mechanics at the community college. I described the situations and he said that I should have replaced fluid in the rear differential and see if that helped (I found the similar suggestion during my research). I called Ford late Monday and said I wanted my car back to get a second opinion. Since it was too late to pick it up that day, I told them I would be there on Tuesday. Tuesday at 7.30 AM I got a call saying that I had to pay 20% restocking fee for parts. What??? I said I wanted to talk to a manager. I had to wait for him to call me back. And off I go to do research again. According to NC Motor Vehicle Repair Act Paragraph 20-354.3 (in short) a repair shop has to provide an estimate for the repair and ALL fees associated with this repair, including parts, overhead, taxes, etc. If there is no written and signed estimate or if a fee is not included in the estimate (any fee, including restocking fee), the shop has no legal right to charge you that fee. The same thing is also mentioned in NC Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices: business cannot charge an undisclosed fee. I printed everything and was ready to fight them, but interestingly I got a call from them that the manager decided to waive a restocking fee. Hmmm... Cool. I got my car. Next day I took it to Green Ford in Greensboro, had the fluid changed and guess what... NO SOUND. I also had it inspected by my friend on a lift and he said there was absolutely no reason to replace the entire differential assembly. Now I wonder, are the mechanics at University Ford educated enough or did the services department intentionally tried to rip me off. THEY TRIED A WRONG GIRL!

And we brought the car back to the dealership for a check and they would charge us $400 diagnosis fee unless if the warranty covers it. We decided to go to a different Kia dealership to get a second opinion and issues were found: - The car had a leaking radiator hose and the hose was also not properly clamped prior to sale - The AC system was not properly serviced with too much Freon added, (still had 560g in the system after 3 month leaking) There were visible coolant pink fluid stains in the engine bay at the time of purchase, which we questioned after opening up the front hood and the salesperson dismissed as something they could "clean up" however it was not cleaned when we picked up the car. We thought it was cosmetic and didn't question more. We had to spend $800 out of pocket to fix problems that should have been identified and addressed before the sale. Total scam and trie to get rid of their broken car. Do not buy from this dealership!

Several months later, we received new plates and a second 2026 tax bill for the same vehicle. Despite numerous calls and follow-ups, we've told that they will handle it. The issue remains unresolved. What has been most disappointing is the lack of communication and follow-through after the sale. We paid dealership fees expecting the registration and title work to be handled correctly, and we should not be responsible for paying taxes twice due their administrative error.

She suffered a radiator reservoir explosion, and I had to pull over ASAP before a fire started. I had already been ready to retire her due to other future repair costs, but circumstances forced my hand early, so I got to work researching available and newer Subaru Outback models. I visited one large dealership within five days, but their staff were extremely duplicitous, so I promptly left feeling very misled and annoyed. Enter the exemplary and professional staff at Durham Auto Mart: Chip, Toby, and other colleagues who I did not have the pleasure of meeting. I found a listing on Carfax to Durham Auto Mart for a 2013 Subaru Outback that looked in great shape, awesome Carfax report, low mileage, and in an excellent price range. I called Durham Auto Mart to inquire, but Chip sadly and graciously informed me that another buyer had already made an offer. He promised to call me back if it fell through though. And that he did. I was sitting at home pondering how long it would take to find a better deal, when suddenly my phone rang, and Chip gave me some excellent news. As my luck would have it, the other buyer was militantly insistent on trading in his very, very old car, which was not in good enough condition to be of any resale value, and somehow this condition completely undid his commitment to the 2013 Outback. Chip and I spoke for over 30 minutes. I asked him intensive, detailed questions about the vehicle, and he answered all my queries with specificity and patience, and he deeply impressed me with his knowledge and passion for all automotive matters. He was so authentically convincing that I (wisely) chose to immediately book an Uber and head straight for Durham Auto Mart. On arrival Chip greeted me heartily, and we got straight to business. I took a long look at the Outback and its myriad new features, then Chip and I took it for a test drive. I absolutely loved how it handled and was sold on it within minutes. On return we began the long and laborious process of certifying credit, transferring insurance, signing innumerable documents, and even hit a bizarre snag whereby Equifax decided that I didn't exist! Chip handled the problem ably and with determination. We learned that it was simply an issue with my name (I have two middle names) and eventually the system cleared me with flying colors and a very reasonable interest rate. Throughout this process, there was no artifice or deception from either Chip or Toby. Both of these gentlemen were straightforward, honest, and did not pressure me at all. Durham Auto Mart's transfer fees are low compared to competitors, there are no hidden "junk" fees bundled in with the purchase, and Toby explained all my warranty and financing options in detail. Some dealerships might have tried to take advantage of my inexperience in buying a car, as after all this was the first vehicle I'd bought in 20 years, but Chip and Toby did the exact opposite. They acted in good faith and treated me with grace and respect throughout, and they were excellent conversationalists. I strongly and without hesitation recommend Durham Auto Mart as a business and endorse their staff as trustworthy individuals. They have been in operation for nearly 50 years and my experience with them abundantly demonstrates why they have endured for so long. Independent businesses are so important to support in an era of increased centralization and corporatization, so if you need a car, even from afar, give Durham Auto Mart a call. -Anthony Joyce

It turns out the clicking sound was due to a major transmission issue that required replacement of the transmission. I called EVERY Honda dealership in northern NC and the two that actually got back to me gave me prices way higher than Crown Honda. Alecha May gave me a discount on labor, which was greatly appreciated. Anthony, the senior technician who performed the work, took time to road test the car with me prior and to explain exactly what he thought was wrong with the car. Then, after I was comfortable and confident that the repair was necessary, he performed the repair excellently and in a timely manner. Alecha May and Anthony should be given raises for their high commitment to customer service and their patience and attention to detail they showed in all their many communications with me prior, during and after the repair. Alecha May and Anthony get 5 stars. I had a very different experience with a salesperson there who provided an estimate on the car in case I wanted to trade it in. But Russ Anwar and whoever his boss is gave me an insulting trade in offer. My car, even with a "fair" condition per KBB.com (the worst condition option requiring mechanical repairs), is worth $10,060 trade in value. Russ and his boss offered me $6,000. The very same day that my car was in the shop there, Crown had a 2017 Accord LX (one year newer than mine) with 75K miles listed for $21,000. My car is a 2016 (same options as the 2017) with 137K. Clearly, if they took my car for $6,000, they would have fixed the transmission and had it back on the market for $18,000 or more. Shady move, Russ. As I told Russ, this one interaction made it clear to me that the sales team is not one that I would feel comfortable doing business with, despite the amazing experience I had with May and Anthony in service. The trade in offer of $6,000 was an insult to my intelligence and to me as a new customer and Russ lost Crown a future customer as a result of that decision. He and his boss get 0 stars. Business relationships are based upon one thing... TRUST and that first impression was pretty bad. Thank you to Alecha May and Anthony! You guys deserve a lot of credit as you saved Crown from a 1 star review from Russ's actions indicated above. The dealership as a whole has some pretty lackluster Yelp reviews, so I'm gathering from my own experience, with the service department being EXCELLENT that the issues are on the sales side of things. Time to fix that sales team. 2 1/2 average stars on Yelp is terrible.

Then the next day the AC started to blow warmer and, by day four, it was blowing hot. They were "unable to locate pre-sale service records" for the car when we called back about the issue. Jose did work with his manager to give us a free diagnostic to find out that the condenser was leaking and it would cost us $2K to fix since it was sold as is. A leak that fast should have been noticed upon pre-sale inspection, in my opinion. It appears that the coolant was topped off to sell so it would become our problem after driving off of the lot. I understand the concept of as-is, but this appears to be deceptive practice on the part of the shop. I'm about to pick it up from the shop and take it elsewhere for a repair quote.

The mechanic listened, asked good follow-up questions, made sure he understood the problem before drawing any conclusions, and then diagnosed it cleanly. The part arrived within the window he quoted (2-3 hours), was installed without fuss, and the final bill was reasonable. What stood out as much as the technical work: he flagged a slow coolant leak and a minor oil leak -- this is an older car, so neither was a shock -- but there was no pressure to pile on services. He showed me rough estimates so I'd have them when I'm ready and left the decisions to me. That kind of straightforward, no-upsell approach is rarer than it should be. The waiting area is a genuine plus: free wifi, a table big enough to work at, and a small fridge with complimentary drinks, large TV. My one suggestion would be to add a coffee in the AM. Also, the door to the reception currently reads "B". Might want to avoid any confusion with better signage. That said, I am a big fan of this establishment and will be using them for repairs in the future (apparently sooner than I want :) Bonus: he pointed me to a wonderful Indian place across the street, Biryani, which I'd highly recommend if you have time to kill while your car is being worked on.
