As some of you may know I have been having a streak of shittyness with my Civic Honda lately – My new tire that was plugged recently had to be replaced because the plug was leaking again (Total expense $193.00 tax included).

I then noticed some flaking paint on the side of the back bumper and had to take the car in for a paint job. The painting took a day and is now completed and looks fine.

While there I asked for the car radio to be checked as it has been loosing stations/reception when driving. They checked and there was a Honda Technical bulletin out for faulty radios (why the hell was I not sent a notice of the same is beyond me!!!) and so my radio has to be replaced.

They tell me that it will take about 2 hours to replace the radio as the entire front interior body/paneling has to be taken out… whooo hoooo!

Given the total amount of under warranty issues with my new 2005 Honda I think it’s fair that I bill Honda for my time that has been wasted taking my car in and waiting for it to get repaired.

I estimate I have spent approx 8 hours there already and if my billing rate is approx CDN $200.00 that would mean Honda Canada owes me CDN $1600.00…
