This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I want to complaint about the Hero Honda Showroom (Nikhi Motors), which is located in karnataka, Bangalore. I booked HH glamour with disc brakes on December 12, 2006. The next day, that is December 13, 2006, a representative of this showroom gave me a call and told me that the stock has arrived and I should come and pay the down payment, so I dropped to the showroom and inquired about the vehicle. They told the amount to be paid and took the cash. After receiving the cash, they are informing me that they do not have HH glamour with disk brake so asked me to go with the drum brakes. I told them that I want only HH glamour with disc brakes, so they told me to wait for two more days. I waited and waited for at least two weeks. After two weeks, when I reached the showroom, they are informing me that there is some problem with the HH glamour bike (disc brake), so the company is not willing to send the consignment of HH glamour disc brake from Dehli, so go with drum brakes. I told them I don't want the bike so refund the amount, but they were not ready to refund the amount and started pursuing me to go with drum brakes. Is this the way that a company handles a customer.

dear sir, I have purchased one splendor plus from JMG AUTOMOBILES, CUTTACK.my paid sevice is running and your dealer jmg automobiles, cuttack does not provide good service of the bike. i have logged an complain at the jmg automobiles, but no responce is there till now. so kindly look at the matter as soon as possible. i was very much shocked by seeing that the company had made jmg automobiles a no.1 dealer at eastern zone. NO.1 DEALER means no.1 at all prospect, not only at sales. THANKING YOU. SANJAY KUMAR SANTUKA TOWN HALL ROAD CUTTACK-9 MOBILE-[protected]

Dear Sir,
I own a cbz extreme bike(model 2007).The problem with the bike is that the engine is stalled and is turning off in the tainy seasons, which could have caused a mojor acident as it today turned off today morning.I have repeatedly told the dealer (Charisma goldwhwwls)in chandigarh at every service they did.But they didnt solved the problem while also assuring me that this time problem have been solved. I am fed up If today i had an accident, then whose responsbility would be it.I need an answer.
If this problem is not rectified soon then i would file a case against

This is to complaint about the totaly waste service providing by the LEKSHMI MOTORS, Valiyasala, Trivandrum. I have contacted them for the damage happened in my Herohonda Splender Plus bike fuel tank which i bought July 2007. scarathes happened in the sticker and i asked them to replace the sticker. They charged Rs.1405/- for servicing and I have given Rs.276 for orginal sticker. Sticker they sticked in the place with lot of bubles, projection and absalutely bad manner. When i complainted the concerned dept in the service department they behave with me very arrogent manner.

I am requesting those who were in the complaint section take this as serious issue against the non proper service they providing. If not action will not taken in this matter, i will go for complaint in juditiary.

Thanking you... Faithfully... Rajeevan.K

I had bought CBX Xtreme from Mallu Motors (Kolkata, Park Street)
I have given my bike for service in their own service station. My bike number is WB-07 Y3959. It's been over 2 months and I still haven't got my bike back. It's been a very horrible experience as I keep calling them every week and they always tend to extend the time without taking any initiative. I have not bought my bike for the service station people to use it. I am a lawyer by profession and I going to file a case in the consumer forum to ask for compenstaion. I do hope for your early reply as I have'nt got any feedback from your side till now. Thanks

Sir / Ma’am

I am regular user of Hero Honda Bikes. Currently I am having the Hero Honda Passion +.
I have given my bike for service to your authorized service station M/S. Bikes Auto, Navarangpura at ahmedabad (Gujarat).
I have handover my bike to above mention service station on dated 2nd April 2008 for pay service.
When I have submitted my bike at that time fuel tank was no damages on it, but when I have collected my bike than I found
Fuel tank is damage and leakage. I have check with service station technician; He also confirmed that there was a leakage on fuel tank.
Please can you explain how it is possible? I have ask same question to the Service Station Manger but he behave in unethical way and give me very rush and rude.
I am sure this thing happened in your service station but now no one can take the responsibility.

This is the way you provide the services to you customer. I am totally disappointed with your service and the way you treat your valuable customer. I am going to take legal action again this matter.

Please provide me other senior level contact address & Email ID. I need to escalate this matter to you higher level management.

I want to Complaint about the Authorized Workshop at Mettupalayam, Tamil Nadu

I am owning Hero Honda CD Dawn purchased on December 2004
Till today i am Doing my service only at Hero Honda Authorized Workshop and not in other outside workshops.

On 29 March 2008 i went to your Authorized Workshop at
" NITIN MOTORS " 614, Karamadai Road, Mettupalayam 641301, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.Phone : [protected] and Purchased Engine Oil and requested the authority for Helping in pouring the oil in my bike.
But the Authority refused to help and they asked for Rs.25/-as Service charges for Pouring the Oil to my bike.
Eventhough i requested them they refused and said without payment they cannot do the work and way of handling the Customers is also not good they are talking Harshly.

I was depressed and I got very bad experience although i was a regular customer at your authorised service centre for past 3.5 years i could not get these type of help for your side.

I request you to take action against the Service centre and warn them that these type of mistakes should not happen to our Hero Honda Customers.

I Have purchased a hero honda CBZ EXTREME From HIMGIRI MOTORS located in East Delhi on 15/11/07. And After 15 days it started giving terrible sound from Front portion.when i reported to hero honda service centre, they told me that the sound is due to some paper in the wheel.(I REPORTED TWICE AT SERVICE CENTRE) but nothing happened.

when i went third time then worker didnot get that noise but i understand him that my disk plate is not proper in shape so it need to be replaced since it is in warranty but they told me to claim it in accidental insurance.after 3 weeks my disk plate is replaced.also at that time their worker told me that the front portion of my bike including shokers,break shoe,etc. is not working properly.so i need to be care of that.

i have heard this complaint from 6 friends of mine also.

so if strict action is not taken in this regard i would have to lodge an fir against HERO HONDA MOTORS.

Hello.

I bought a Hero Honda Passion Plus Motorcycle in August 2004 at Ravi Motors, Tumkur.

Since then I have been tortured by your after sales service.

I gave my bike for service at Max Motors, Rajkumar Road. These people are devils agents. When I gave my bike for service, everything was perfect. I gave it only as per the milage plan that every 2-3000 Kms, it has to be serviced.

But when I got my bike back from service, i went for a test drive and found that the chain was making a lot of noise. I went back to service centre and after 30 minutes, one guy came and told Chain Sprocket is broken and I have to pay 650 if I want it repaired. I told him when i gave the bike for service it was perfect. He then called his manager and he started shouting at me. He said that they do only those repairs that I mention in job card. I told him that before service chain sprocket was perfect and now after the service the chain sprocket is broken. The manager shouted that they only do minor adjustments and its not their fault and asked me to take my bike and leave.

Though I was tempted to escalate the issue, it was at 11.45 in the morning and I had left all my other work and was waiting there.

Can you kindly inform me what gave Hero Honda, the inspiration to provide such pathetic service? Did I ever refuse to pay for the service? Did I ever demand my bike to be returned in minutes? All I wanted was the faulty parts to be rectified and the bike to serviced to good condition so that my drive will be smooth.

But Hero Honda only wants to retain their Worlds No1 slot (I doubt that) and they do not care how the customers and their bikes are treated once Hero Honda gets money.

I will surely recommend all my friends to not go for Hero Honda Bikes. And those friends who have bought Hero Honda already, I will recommend some private garage than authorised centres.

Hero Honda, your service is pathetic. Never again will I give my bike for service at authorised centres and I am planning to sell my bike.

But I'm sorry to say that till now (15.12.2007) I did not received the service book for the same and also there is no satisfaction reply from Auto Needs. Is there any solution about this?

Needs a great care for customer service after sales otherwise result will be bad in future.

I want to complaint about Hero Honda Ambition Bike. I have purchased Hero Honda splender in August-2007. After 20 days, i faced lots of technical problems with my bike that i am not able to explain in this mail thread. During 5 years of journey with cd-100 in my life, the frustration i faced was unbelievable as after every two weeks, my bike was at service point to sort out technical problems. I thought that HeroHonda launched that product without any performance testing and then they played with customers bikes to resolve technical defects. This is a very bad experience from Hero Honda.
i informed at honda's show-room last tow service but nobody listen this complain and solwe that so pls help me to solwe this
my mobile no is [protected].
i purchase my bike at rajdeep at ahmedabad.

WORST CUSTOMER CARE AFTER SALES
Bike Model : splendor Plus
Authorised Dealer : City Motors, Wakdewaid , Pune
Service center : City motors (At the time of purchase and during 3 services)
Present Name changed from City Motors to PrathamMotors.
While submitting the bike for serviceing, be in Queue from moring 7am(start from home accordingly)
Only one supervisor for inspecting bike during submission.He took time @ 30 -40 min to one bike ( nearly 4-5 customr in morning slot)
Wait till our turns come , then if work is only washing then same day deliveryu otherwise next day delivery.
Charges are more then what regular mechanic ask for oil change.
Around 4 hours needs for bike submission for serving.
After service , whatever told in service details no attention given.Only normal work done.
Influenced nearly 12 people to go for HeroHonda bike.
Needs a great care for customer service after sales otherwise result will be bad in future.
Is there any standard or policy used while alloting authrised service center?
Above situation observed from last three years.No improvement in customer care and bike servicing.

I want to complaint about Hero Honda Ambition Bike. I have purchased Hero Honda Ambition in October-2002. After 15 days, i faced lots of technical problems with my bike that i am not able to explain in this mail thread. During 2 years of journey with Ambition in my life, the frustration I faced was unbelievable as after every two weeks, my bike was at service point to sort out technical problems. I thought that HeroHonda launched that product without any performance testing and then they played with customers bikes to resolve technical defects. This is a very bad experience from Hero Honda. Finally i sold my bike in July 2006 at the price of 23000. Oh God.. What is depreciation cost in 4 years of Hero Honda product?.

I think Hero Honda is now compromising with Quality aspects of parts.

I want to complaint about the Hero Honda Showroom Prakesh Motors Bangalore karnataka. I booked HH glamor with disc brakes on Sept 06, 2007. They told me It will take maximum of 3 weeks in delivery. But after 3 weeks when I called to a representative of this showroom said they do not have HH glamor with disk brake so asked me to go with the drum brakes. The company is not willing to send the consignment of HH glamor disc brake from Dehli, so go with drum brakes. But while booking I asked them so many times that I want only HH glamor with disc brakes. now they are not ready to deliver HH glamor with disc brakes.

Is this the way that a company handles a customer.

I have purchased one bike model Ambition-135 (Silver color) on 20th Feb'2005 from Brij Bi-Wheelers Mathura. The bike is working perfectly all right and run about 7200 km till date. The only problem is now in its looks. At the time of purchase, it had got some plastic lamination on sides beside the seat and in the front near head light. It is not possible to remove the stickers and the bike is looking really dirty. I have gone to your service center for washing and servicing, but the problem is not solved. I love my bike really much and many of my friends got inspired from me and purchased ambition or other hero honda bikes, as i am very much influenced from your services and works. Please try to solve my problem to remove the plastic cover from the bike, so that my faith in hero honda always remain as it is today.

I contacted dealer in Mathura (Mr. S.K.Pradhan-[protected]) he told me that the problem cannot be solved. I mailed you earlier through your site but nobody responded back. Kindly help me to solve this problem, so that the faith can be maintained in Hero Honda.

I bought a Splendor+ from NIKHI Motors, Bangalore. The service was very good. The staff were very good. The sales manager, Mr. Girish was an excellent gentle man. He is well behaved. They gave a good response for my queries and helped me in selecting the bike and very cordial and well behaved in their approach towards the customer.

I have purchase a Hero Honda CD -Deluxe bike in mid of the Dec. 2006 from Auto Needs, Gurgaon. From the very first day, it gave me 49-50KM/lt mileage. At the time of purchase a representative of the showroom told me that it gives 80 KM/lt mileage. Further, it gives very poor performance at the time of using 3rd or 4th gear. The gear shift is very hard while we are changing the gear. The Handle of this bike is also very week. Overall, I am totally dissatisfied with this bike.
