Incident: 700 miles after a transmission fluid service, the Transmission Fill Plug/Breather Assembly was discovered sitting on the radiator support/air intake—completely uninstalled.
• Technical Concern: The transmission case has been open to the atmosphere for 700 miles. This has exposed the HCF-2 fluid to ambient moisture (California humidity cycles), road debris, and potential dust contamination.
• Requirement: 1. A documented contamination inspection of the current fluid.
2. A complimentary fluid exchange to ensure system longevity.
3. A formal entry into the vehicle’s permanent Honda service history regarding this oversight.
Secondary Issue: AC System Failure & Potential Misdiagnosis
• Context: Following the recent recall work, the AC system experienced a total loss of cooling accompanied by "white smoke" (atomized refrigerant) through the vents.
• Observation: Fluid leaking from the vehicle was dismissed by advisors as "condensation." As an automotive professional, I identified the fluid as PAG oil/refrigerant mix, not water.
• Dispute: The dealership previously cited an "aftermarket part" as the cause without providing a technical nexus. Given the verified sloppy workmanship on the transmission (the missing plug), I am formally requesting a Master Technician re-evaluate the AC system for leaks at points of contact handled during the recall.
Tertiary Issue: Pattern of Quality Control (Tires)
• History: Previous service resulted in an attempted installation of budget-tier tires despite being invoiced for Michelin premiums (later corrected only upon my inspection).
• Conclusion: There is a clear, documented pattern of QC failure. I am seeking a resolution that ensures the vehicle is restored to OEM safety and performance standards without further out-of-pocket expense.

I am pleased with the service provided by Jonathan, but not with the work performed on my car; they left a part disconnected and lying off to the side, which is completely unprofessional. This is the second time they have failed to provide quality service on the cars I have consistently brought to them.
