I'm ticked
Picked up my '13 RDX 2WD Tech last Saturday. Got it home and went to taking off all the references to the dealer.
Here in Ga. we only need a rear license plate.......but, these a**holes had installed a front plate holder by drilling 3 holes in my new bumper.
I was back there the next day asking why they had defaced my new vehicle unnecessarily? It goes to their body shop tomorrow where it will be made new again.......or else.

OP...I can FULLY understand your frustration! It blows my mind that a dealership would be that ignorant to drill holes in a bumper simply to give themselves an opportunity to display the name of their dealership on a vehicle. I refuse to have any dealer reference on my vehicle....My cars are not city buses with logo for publicity (unless they want to pay me for it). I will GLADLY give praise for my dealer and their people but not by defacing my vehicle. I hope they will make it better for you but I'd be really annoyed that it would have to be "repaired" or "repainted"...Best f luck and keep up posted.

I would be furious ... but then again I was equally upset when Audi did not put a front plate holder on my TT causing me to get pulled over and three "fix it" tickets within 24 hours.

I do not accept a car that has dealer badges or the front license plate frame.

When we bought an 'executive' car from Nalley Volvo(Atlanta/Marietta), it proudly came with the dealer tag on the front(understandable, since the manager's wife was driving it). Since Georgia only requires the one tag, I removed the bracket, installed a couple of aluminum downspout screws that matched the bumper paint...drove it for three years like that. Only time I noticed was when I washed the car.

I picked it up this afternoon. The whole in the bumper was fixed to my satisfaction......however.....I now have over spray all over the place, even on the back window. I was going to clay bar it anyway, so I won't be taking it back for that.
They did give me a brand new MDX to drive for the 2 days they had it. It drove like an overweight '13 RDX.
Can't wait to fill out my customer satisfaction survey.

The dealer was Jackson Acura in Roswell.

When I picked up my 2012 TSX Tech in August someone stole front plate bracket before they mounted it. I got to install it and I did not drill the two holes in bumper. I was just lucky. Most new cars either have screws drilled in front bumper or rivits to install front plate bracket.

It sucks when you take something back for one thing, but during their "fix" they screw something else up. But I'm always for being honest in customer satisfaction surveys. Quality companies will try to see that things like that don't happen again. And I'm also for posting it on dealership rating websites like yelp, to ensure that others are aware of businesses' good/bad practices.
