My Review of Ciocca Honda:
Unbelievably great customer service. I bought a used (of course) 1999 Ford Taurus with over 100,000 miles, "as is." I didn't drive the car for a few days, and when I went out to start it again, the battery was dead. I took it to my local Ford dealer and they told me there was nothing wrong with the car. They cleaned the connections, recharged the battery, and sent me on my way. Aftre a couple of idle days, I had the same problem again. Ciocca replaced the battery for free. Well, it happened a third time. Ciocca then towed it in at no cost to me (I live about 40 miles away from the dealership) and tried to repair it (again at no cost to me). When they realized it was an electrical and not a mechanical problem, they found another 1999 Taurus with more features, 20,000 fewer miles, and in like-new condition, and replaced the car I bought. I didn't even have to ask - they did it because they felt I had "been inconvenienced." They even paid to transfer the plates to the new car, etc. (Remember - I bought this car "as is"!)
Then I had problems with the second car - all minor, and to be expected in a car of that age (1999). At first, the shift lever wouldn't move unless I used both feet and pushed the pedal nearly to the floor. They fixed that - for free. Then the "service engine soon" light came on. They repaired the car and provided free service - all I paid for was the parts. Keep in mind that I bought the first car "as is" and it had over 100,000 miles when I bought it - they could have told me tough luck, but instead did everything they could to make things right.
On the way home, before I had even gone more than a couple of miles, the "service engine soon" light came on again. I called them and brought it back the following day, and this time they even paid for the parts, and were incredibly nice to me. (Turns out there were sensors that had to be replaced at the same time - since they're not Ford dealers, they didn't realize it.) Again, remember - I bought the FIRST car AS IS!!! The car is now running like a dream, looks like a brand new car, has more bells and whistles than I would have put into a new car, and would have sold for about $2,000 more than I paid for the first car - but they never asked for a thing from me except that I come back when I was ready to buy my next car.
I bought another used car for my husband the same day I bought the first Taurus for myself, and his car hasn't had any problems at all, so chalk my problems up to the make/model/year/mileage - but nobody gives great customer service like this anymore!
If all car dealers were like Mike, Sam, Andy, and everyone else I dealt with at Ciocca, the world would be a better place. Until that time, deal with Ciocca with total confidence - I'm now a customer for life and tell everyone I meet about how wonderful they've been to me. Thanks, and I'll be back when I'm ready for my next car!
