Thumbs down whitby honda BAD

heres the story
went to honda cause i hit a curb and blew a hole in my tire..got a new tire from whitby honda--my car then drove crooked--said i bent my shock as well--got a new shock from whitby honda---said i now need an alignment--got an alignment from whitby honda---3 days later new shock came loose--went back and they reinstalled it--they want me to pay for the second alignment!!!!!wtf!!!!!
they screwed up when they didnt tighten the shock the first time---i should atleast get my money back for the first alignment
called everyone in the dealership and they said im basically s.o.l.
called honda canada and they said it was a dealership issue
called the owner of the dealership---never got a call back
poor excuse for a honda dealer
dont go!!
they will rip u off everytime
awful
i still got a bad taste in my mouth
if they wont make it right,,,ill just have to tell everyone how they made it wrong!

Why didn't you claim this on insurance?
What happens if the lower rail is bent along with the control arm?

car

been driving it now for a week and car seems alot better,,,barely pulls to the left--------dont see the point in spending $500 for a part that probably isnt bent---i think they are fishing for a sale-----funny how after my last alignment the car drove better---i think a good alignment shop could get it perfect----im going with my gut on this one---i dont like replacing lots of parts until something works---im starting to think my shock was never bent!!
