My Review of Honda of Nanuet:
This dealer consistently has given me less than satisfactory service .Their main objective is to get your $$ and get you out of the place...On 6 servicecalls , I had, on 5 of these occasions , had to bring the vehicle back and have them complete or resolve what I paid for.

My Review of Honda of Nanuet:

I bought my car used at Honda of Nanuet. I have taken my car in for service at least three times and on a couple of other occasions for minor work.

The review above answers the question Why in the following ways:

Major Service - which includes oil change, tire rotation, etc. is extremely over priced in my opinion. I will go elsewhere for most of this service in the future. $300 to $350 for this kind of service is not a good value.

Electronics - I think the main value of Honda of Nanuet's Service department is to figure out electronic problems with their diagnostic equipment. Having said this, the first time we brought our car in for diagnostic testing, it came back with an electronic problem which it did not have before. When we brought the car in to rectify this, the service manager attempted to charge us $110 to diagnose the problem. After a considerable discussion, he relented to my refusal to pay this seemingly unjust charge. When I brought my car back in for two electronic problems, one which had never been fixed from before, we came away with both problems addressed and fixed. However, one problem cost approximately $300 in labor for approximately 2 hours of work. (This did not include the cost of the part.) Again, the cost of labor at this facility is too high.)

One electronic problem with the radio display was brought to Honda of Nanuet's attention and the car was in the shop for nearly 5 days for this problem (along with one of the problems mentioned above) which was never fully addressed. I still haven't given up on Honda, but I think there are things which could make much more excited about the service at this dealership such as better prices for service and fixing problems the first time without extra charges for diagnosis.

My Review of Honda of Nanuet:
We chose Honda of Nanuet as the first Honda dealership we visited. We were not greeted by anyone when we walked in and had to go to the front desk to ask for someone to assist us. We then waited about 5 minutes for someone to help. We were happy with the friendliness of the salesman and he was quick to quote us a price and then we told him that we will think about it because we had to wait for a check from our insurance company before we purchased the car. We then sat down with the financial guy and he was also pretty pleasant at first. When we got home I researched other dealers prices by sending them the quote I received for a 36-month lease and see if anyone else can do any better. Within 10 min, I received a quote from another local dealership which saved me over $30 a month than Nanuet was offering for the same exact car. I then called Nanuet back and they were not pleased that I went with the other dealership and the guy was very rude and condecending after I told him I was not interested anymore. On top of that they did not refund our $100 deposit, and we are still waiting for a refund (2 weeks after). We called the other day and they said it was just credited. It seems like the other dealership was more interested in our business and pursued us to make the deal with them, and we gave Nanuet a chance to match the offer and they only matched and did not do better and the other dealership was able to come down more. It was just not a good experience with Nanuet. Not to say they were not nice to us in the beginning, but the prices often start out high, so just make sure you negociate. I can not recommend this dealer though.

My Review of Honda of Nanuet:
I just bought a 2006 Civic and the entire experience could not have been better. After years of dealing with pushy salesman that made me truly dread buying a new car, I decided to try getting a quote online.

I received a great, honest quote immediately from Honda of Nanuet. They included ALL the costs and were completely straight-forward with me. I had dealt with 2 other Honda and 2 Toyota dealerships in the area and had to run away from the obnoxious and pushy salesman. Why do they have to be that way? Nothing makes me want to buy a car from you less than to have you try to push me into a fast decision. Just let the car sell itself. Be there to answer my questions, but don't push me.

Mike and Vanessa could not have been more low key. No pressure at all. No annoying unsolicited phone calls.

Thanks to their excellent service I will DEFINITELY go back to buy my next Honda there.
