Wait...$100 for an oil change?? My dealer charges $60 and I think thats high lol. Also, even though the dealer is full of shit and in reality you should have the warranty work done, they're within their rights to deny the work because of the mods. Find another dealer and try again, that's your best bet.

but they did charger me $100 for oil change and 6000 miles service

Was that 6000 mile service an "A" (3,750 - 5,000 Miles) or a "B" service.(7,500 - 10,000 Miles)

If it was a "B" you got a great deal.
If it was an "A" you got ripped off

I suspect it was a late "A"

WARNING: This is a Joke .. please bear that in mind before responding !!!


Just MAKE SURE, if you go to another Dealer, your keep the trunk LOCKED.

You may not want them snooping there, and having it influence their decision to deny warranty !!

I thought it was funny. You can laugh... or cry through life when problems arise. Between the two... one will have a happier life.

I'm sorry but...

my 2016 lx sedan has few aftermarket parts installed on it and has just 7000 miles on it :

...and your...

36 month lease is ending September 2019 and I'm planning to keep my car

...and you just had your...

6000 miles service

...done?

Does that mean for the first time in about 2.5 years you got your car serviced? A little off topic, but was part of the issue you had with was only getting one... maybe (hopefully?) 2 oil changes on a leased car after 2.5 years.

You tinted a car and changed it's headunit out... and want things done. I get that... and I can see that going both ways, with them claiming the issues we're caused by your modifications and you wanting things corrected that you say we're existing since you had the car. But I'm painting the picture of a 2.5 year old lease rolling up finally for service, possibly the first, with some reversible mods but mods nontheless at an admittedly low 7000 miles on that time and I just don't know if that is ever going to play out well.

Regardless... good luck. You can try a different dealer. I don't think this one wants to play ball with you and I don't think you can force their hand to do much based on your mods. Maybe the windshield washer squirters...?

I must be missing something, I didn't see where the op said anything about replacing the head unit, just the speakers, and added some sound deadening.

One has to wonder when the Dealer claims "Honda of America" has rejected the Warranty claim if :-

(1) They even submitted it to Honda Of America, if if they are just trying to blow you off

(2) How they submitted it .. I suspect a lot of the success in getting "Honda Of American" to honor a warranty claim, is how the case is presented to them.

If the Dealer is the one presenting the case, and you have NO IDEA of what that presentation was, then you are completely "in the dark" -- where the Dealer want you to be.

It's a MASSIVE CONFLICT OF INTEREST

* Dealer makes a fixed, limited amount on a Warranty repair​

or

* Dealer can literally charge whatever they like for a non-warranty repair.​

So which way do you think they will want to go with, especially if they are less than Honorable, and the ones presenting the "Facts - or pack of lies" to Honda of America.

Its almost like doctors and Insurance companies .. they Bill $1000 to the Insurance company, but have to accept the $100 that the Insurance company is willing to pay them.
If they Bill you direct with no insurance, they will bill the $1000, and laugh all the way to the bank.
​

With a Warranty, it seems very Hot & Miss, and is mostly decided by what the Dealers want to do, and how they choose to present the Warranty case to "Honda of America"

Typically not in YOUR best interest, but in theirs !!!

Where are these rubber strips? Are you talking about the two that run the length of the roof from front to rear? If so, how would that have been touched when tint was installed on the inside of the windows?

EXACTLY !!! More Dealer BS and distortion of facts to get out of Warranty work.

I know about magnusson-moss act but in my case they are not voiding my warranty but telling me to put my car back to stock....

I cover the below in depth in this post.

1. File a complaint with Honda directly
2. Take your car to a dealership that doesn't have their heads up their asses
