Took my 2003 Honda back to the dealer, to repair a portion of upholestry to the back of the drivers seat. Don't know how, or when it happened. But, it's coming apart..
Honda wants $480.00 to repair. But,-- will call the Factory Rep, to see if I can get a courtesy discount and call me with his decision.
I then went to a local upholstery shop, that's been in business for 25 years and they'll
do the repair for $85.00. Good as new and should take about 2-3 hours.
Honda calls back, they talked to the factory rep. and they'll replace it for FREE!!
Now, I would have paid Honda $100.00, to do the job straight out. But, 480 is plumb ridiculous! I'm 3 months out of warranty, so it was possible, they'd cut me a little slack. At this point, I just don't feel that everyone is being honest and I'm getting the "Good Guy-Bad Guy" pony show. Know what I mean?
