Honda of Manhasset

A car accident had left my car totaled, leaving me in need of a new car. The thought of buying a new car was daunting, but luckily a friend referred me to Honda Manhasset where I had the pleasure of meet need of a new car. The thought of buying a new car was daunting, but luckily a friend referred me to Honda Manhasset where I had the pleasure of meeting David Wang and Gina Plakas. Salesperson, David Wang, was the first to greet and help me from beginning to end to find the right vehicle for me. I had a lot of questions, but David was friendly, informative and patient until I was finally ready to make my purchase. Financial Manager, Gina Plakas, then walked me through the steps for the warranties and loans finding me the best rate to finance my new car. Throughout the entire process both David and Gina continued to communicate with me to ensure that I was completely satisfied. Now, I am happily driving my brand new 2013 Honda Civic and would like to thank David a Gina for going above and beyond to make this an excellent experience! I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a new car. More

My father and I went to Honda Manhasset to look for a pre owned certified car and we not only found that Honda Manhasset had the best looking cars but also the lowest prices on the internet. We were greeted owned certified car and we not only found that Honda Manhasset had the best looking cars but also the lowest prices on the internet. We were greeted quickly by Corey who is a caring and no-nonsense salesman who negotitated a great price for us and then introduced us to Ms. Plakas the Finance Manager who worked with the banks and got us a great low rate. While most dealerships try to confuse you with numbers and options, Miss Gina instead laid out all our options in front of us and reviewed all our numbers with or without the warranties. After a great consultation and careful consideration, my father and I chose Honda care warranty along with Dent/Ding, Tire and Wheel Protection, Security Coding, Nitrogenfill, and Simonize Glasscoat which included complimentary car washes for one year. I have already referred many of my friends to go see Miss Gina because this has truly been the most pleasurable car buying experience ever!! I love my new Honda and I used to be afraid of Finance Managers but after meeting Miss Gina I am no longer afraid. Thank you Corey and Gina for making me and my father feel like VIP guests are your dealership. In a few months, my little sister is graduating HS and we will be back to get another certified Honda from you guys and I know you will once again give us the best deal in town!!! More

This dealership has to be the worst dealership ever. Customer service is awful. I went here to purchase a used CRV, left a $7000 deposit. that may sound crazy, but I planned to put down then finance the Customer service is awful. I went here to purchase a used CRV, left a $7000 deposit. that may sound crazy, but I planned to put down then finance the rest of the purchase. It was late in the day on a sunday, they told me they'd have to call the financing in the following day. I planned to leave $500 then decided to leave the full $7000. Since I planned to purchase the car anyway. The finance person J. Bountempo never got back to me, nor did the sales person i delt with. I got in touch with the manager who assured me I'd be taken care of. I told them to just send me a check back refunding me the deposit. It's been weeks, now I believe Im going to have to take legal action. They're crooks trying to steal my hard earned money. They get ---5 stars and will be reported to the BBB and who ever else I can get help from. More

Salesperson (Rodni)was knowledgeable, helpful, and went above and beyond. He was a gentleman. Thoughout the whole process we did not feel any pressure nor did we receive the typical "sales pitches" and we above and beyond. He was a gentleman. Thoughout the whole process we did not feel any pressure nor did we receive the typical "sales pitches" and we greatly appreciated it. Business manager, Joe Liotta, was more than helpful. He was very thorough and met all of our needs throughout the process. More

Purchased a 2012 CR-V EX-L with nav. Salesman Ino seemed knowledgable yet always had to "check with a manager" even after he gave me a price. I knew what I was willing to pay before I went to seemed knowledgable yet always had to "check with a manager" even after he gave me a price. I knew what I was willing to pay before I went to this dealership. The price was fair so I decided to purchase. I was told that the color I wanted was not on the lot but they could get one in a few days. A few days ened up being a week and a half. When I went to pick up the vehicle the ski rack was on the left side of the car . I asked if it could be moved to the right side. It was moved incorrectly. The locks were on the inside (middle) of the roof not the outside. The delivery person (don;t remember his name) was helpful in showing me the features of the car. The "business manager" Joseph Buontempo was terrible. I was shown an extended warrantee and a "service contract. Both looked expensive but fair. I specifically asked Mr. Buontempo if the service contract covered all of the manufacturers suggested maintenance items as well as oil changes. Mr. Buontempo told me it did other than expendables like tires filters and wipers. He also neglected to tell me the extended warrantee had a $100.00 deductible per occurrence. When I received the documents in the mail about three weeks after I picked up the car I found the $100.00 deductible and that the "service contract that I had specifically asked about ONLY covered oil changes. If you followed the factory recommended schedule of 5000 miles and you drive enough to do 70,000 in 6 yrs you would get 15 oil changes. The price for the "service contract" was $1000.00. That comes out to $66.00 per oil change. I called Manhasset Hondas service department and was told "all oil changes are $29.99" . I was told at a later time that the service department was "mistaken". Oil changes for the 2012 CR-V were $60.00 because of the synthetic oil used on the car.. Another "miscommunication". I received the contract information on a Friday and after researching the contracts by calling both the Manhasett Honda Service department and Hondas own customer service for the contracts I decided not to keep them. I called on Saturday and left messages for Mr. Buontemp. His voice mail said he was off on Sunday and Tuesday so when I did not receive a call back on Saturday I waited and called Monday morning . Again I left a message on Mr. Buontempo's voicemail. After two more calls on Monday I called another time and was told Mr. Buontempo was not in. I explained that i wished to come in and terminate the contracts. The receptionist said she would check with another finance person to see if someone could help me. She returned to the phone and told me I had to deal ONLY with the person that had done the paperwork whenI had picked up the car. I asked for the head finance manager and was told there was not a person in charge of that department. I then asked for the General manager and was told he was not in.I had developed a relationship with the internet sales person (Denise) and asked to speak to her and the RECEPTIONIST told me that Denise had nothing to do with the contracts and could not help me. I told the receptionist it was not her job to tell me who I could speak to. Denise said she would check on the problem and call me back. Within 5 minutes Gina Plakis (another business manager) called me back and told me that she would take care of the problem for me to come in that afternoon. Gina took care of terminating the contracts and told me I was misinformed that ONLY Mr Buontempo could terminate the contracts for me. Denice and Gina were the most professional people I dealt with at Manhasset Honda. If you know what you are interested in and know your prices you might wish to deal with Manhasset Honda but if your business manager is Mr. Buontempo RUN the other way. More

My experience at Honda Manhasset was the first positive experience I have ever had at a car dealership. Frank was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful of my need to take extra t experience I have ever had at a car dealership. Frank was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful of my need to take extra time before finalizing my purchase. He is the only salesman I've ever met who was honest and forthcoming with regard to the price of the car and didn't play games. I can't say enough about how much I appreciated feeling respected and valued as a customer, not just by Frank but by everyone at the dealership. I will gladly recommend Honda Manhasset to everyone I know! More

I am writing to inform you of the wonderful experience I had with Rodni and Ms. Gina Plakas, the Business Manager. First Rodni treated me with a warm greeting and then made me feel very comfortable througho had with Rodni and Ms. Gina Plakas, the Business Manager. First Rodni treated me with a warm greeting and then made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire negotiation of my new car. He worked with me professionally and got me a great deal on my new 2012 Odyssey without much haggling or high pressure. Next I met with Ms. Plakas who worked with me in getting me a great finance rate even though my credit was light and not very good. She offered me different options and consulted me and the different packages that would best suit my budget. Again, I felt comfortable and at total ease working with Ms. Plakas. She was able to let me take my new car home that day and I feel great. I was treated with respect and I got a great deal on my new Odyssey. I told Rodni and Gina that I would not only recommend them to all my friends and neighbors who are shopping for Hondas but that I would also send them clients who are shopping other brands because I love my new Honda Odyssesy and I loved working with Rodni and Gina. They are a class act and they should be commended. Their dealership is lucky to have them as staff members and I strongly recommend anyone looking to buy a new car to go see Rodni and Gina. They will leave you happy and satisfied and glad you went to Honda Manhasset!! More

Bought a new honda pilot 2012 EX-L. I was offered some extras like simoniz, security coding and i was told that they put nitrogen in their honda tires and if ever i run into a flat tire just put regular a extras like simoniz, security coding and i was told that they put nitrogen in their honda tires and if ever i run into a flat tire just put regular air and drive to their service dept and they will replace it with nitrogen...i was not informed that i have to pay for it, since it is not in the initial paper that i signed. Then i asked to install a remote starter and that time they have a sign that says $995 for remote starter, passive alarm and bumper sensors. Since it is a honda dealer with their own service dept, I am expecting that it will be honda oem accessories. The following day the suv is presented to me not with the same salesman but another guy and showed some of the features. I noticed that the cover in the dashboard was off. A man came from the service department and installed it back in place. I was so tired from work that day and to complain about that incident is just another stress so i just let it pass. I left the place not realizing that the remote starter they installed is an aftermarket brand from avital that only cost $199 dollars...plus installation honda chrged me for $995 who knows what brand is the passive alarm and of course no sensors installed !!! The following day i called david and complain about it. He offered to install the sensors. When i returned i met russ, david is not around even if i left him a message that i am coming. Russ heard my story and what he offered is to recalibrate the remote starter so that it will turn on the suv's a/c or heat. Yes..the remote starter just start the engine but it wont turn on the heat or a/c nice huh !!! Now i am shopping for a car in replacement to my wife's honda civic...i wanted to buy a new civic but with this experience...probably not. So beware of their sales tactics....i believe the city or its town business bureau must not be lenient to protect the consumers from these type of business practice. A Bad experience...indeed !!! More
