Balise Honda

Bad Service I had an appointment for a basic oil change. My Accord sat for first 45 minutes with no one working on it. It took a total of ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MI I had an appointment for a basic oil change. My Accord sat for first 45 minutes with no one working on it. It took a total of ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES. 45 Minutes of waisting my time. I complained to the service rep and he said it was because of the multi point inspection. A bunch of bull. They changed the height of my seat and moved it all the way forward. If you look at the service reps it looks like they hate thier jobs. Miserable looking faces. I bought three Honda's from Balise and will not be buying any more from them. More

I was working with these dealership for a couple months and I was so excited when they found me a new Accord just the one I wanted that had been on the lot for a while and has 6k miles that they offered me and I was so excited when they found me a new Accord just the one I wanted that had been on the lot for a while and has 6k miles that they offered me a great deal to buy! I was so excited I went straight to the dealership and gave the a $500 check to hold the vehicle for me. They put a sold sign on it (it was in the showroom) and they told me they locked it. They assured me they wouldn't sell it to anyone else and that if someone else was interested in it they would call me first. The next morning my salesperson text me to tell me the General Manager said they had given me too good a deal and that he had just sold my car to someone else behind my back(for more money)! I realize I got a great deal but it is VERY BAD BUSINESS to give your word to someone and then do exactly what you said you wouldn't do. I felt very betrayed I had been working with this dealership for a long time and I thought they had my interests at heart they knew I had gone through hardship with Toyota involving legal proceedings but in the end all they cared about was MONEY. ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS ETHIC WHATSOEVER! More

I've purchased many cars from Balise Honda and have them serviced there regularly. Although I would not characterize them as inexpensive, the service has always been performed as promised and I have e them serviced there regularly. Although I would not characterize them as inexpensive, the service has always been performed as promised and I have experienced no issues. In addition, I recently had an engine misfire issue on my Odyssey and declarer performed a complete ring job of engine at no cost to me. I would definitely recommend them. More

My first honda was a 1998 honda accord v6 and absolutely fell in love with it. Since then me and wife have leased 3 Honda Pilots and a Honda Accord. We like to drive new cars and every few years we upgrade fell in love with it. Since then me and wife have leased 3 Honda Pilots and a Honda Accord. We like to drive new cars and every few years we upgrade our lease. The latest were a 2013 Honda accord EX and a 2013 Honda pilot touring that we leased on the same day from Balise Honda of West Springfield. 2 weeks ago I took my Honda accord for its first oil change to Balise Honda and the service rep told me that since it was my first service it is free of charge. I was not surprised since every vehicles that we purchased or leased so far (from a different dealership) the first service was always free. I was happy that Honda continues to extend the same services to its loyal customers. However 2 weeks later when I took my other vehicle the Pilot Touring for its first oil change I am told by the service rep that it is not free of charge.The rep told me " I like you, but not enough to pay for your services." Obviously I didn't want to speak to this guy anymore and asked to speak to the then sales person now a manager who sold us those cars. The manager listened to what I had to say and went to speak to the general manager. When he came back he told me that they had never had any program in past 7 years where the first service was free and if I got the service for free on my other car then I got "Lucked Out" and "someone will get in trouble" for doing that. I must pay for the 1st service on my Pilot. I felt totally dumb founded and humiliated. Still don't understand why they would do it for one car and couldn't do it for the other. Even if it is a mistake on their part why wouldn't they stand behind their mistake and honor what was promised to a loyal honda customer of many years. Is this how Honda training their managers? I left the store and didn't get any service done. I will probably continue to lease honda vehicles but one thing for sure; not from this dealer ever again. More

I have brought a few different vehicles in for service here in the past. I've always had a good experience with them. Employees are friendly, service wait times have never been bad.

Had an excellent experience with Steve, the salesmen. Asked us what we were interested in. Showed us multiple cars with different options, finally settled on a 2012 civic. Steve was really there to help Asked us what we were interested in. Showed us multiple cars with different options, finally settled on a 2012 civic. Steve was really there to help us, got us everything we asked for, more on the trade in and a we owe to fix some scratches. I truly believe he didn't see us as a pay check and wanted us to have a positive experience. Now my experience in the finance office was not as good a my experience with Steve. Shane was very rude to us when we declined buying some aftermarket warranty "you can't even afford 15 more dollars a month?". He didn't even bother trying to sell us a honda extended warranty which I was interested in. Be careful with Shane. He seemed like he wanted to hold me up by the ankles and shake the quarters out of my pocket. More

Hello and thank you all for taking the time to help me purchase my 2nd S2000 from you at Balise Honda! I would like to thank Larry Bass the General Manager, Miguel Humphrey in Car Sales , Tony in Parts, a purchase my 2nd S2000 from you at Balise Honda! I would like to thank Larry Bass the General Manager, Miguel Humphrey in Car Sales , Tony in Parts, and Terrence the Tech. Since the move from the old building the New Balise Honda has improved. It is like night and day I had a few problems years ago and told myself I would find a new Honda dealer and so came Lia double ouch!! So I met a Tech (Terrence) from Balise Honda and told him about my horror story about Balise many years ago and he assured me that the (new to me) Manager Larry Bass would take care of me. As I was running out of Honda places to purchase my vehicles. I decided to go and talk to Larry, I gave him my name and he told me that they told him my story and he would make sure that it would never happen again I was so suprised that after so many years they would take the time and do right by me! He introduced me to Miguel and believe it or not made up for what the Old Balise did to me. I have purchased not one but two S2000 from them and still am happy a half of year later thank you all. PS if you have had bad service just go in and sit down with Larry and I bet he will do everything in his power to make it right. If this is your first time in and your looking for a car just ask for Miguel , if you need Honda parts stop by and say hello to Tony, going in for Tech ask for Terrence trust me you will not go wrong make sure you tell them Stef and Ben sent you!

My husband and I went to Balise to look at a CRV. We had a very friendly salesperson named John. After deciding to purchase the vehicle we sat down for what seemed like an eternity for the usual back and fo a very friendly salesperson named John. After deciding to purchase the vehicle we sat down for what seemed like an eternity for the usual back and forth nonsense that goes on at a dealership. We finally came to an agreement and then the paperwork started. We got to Shane who was to take care of the finance. We were paying cash so we figured all would go smoothly.We were told we could take the car that day or when it would be convenient for us.After sitting through all of the paperwork and signing Shane said they were calling the office down the road to locate the title. We finally left with a promise from Shane that he would call in an hour or so. Well we waited and there was no call. I called him back the next morning and he said the title wasn't in the office but the people who traded the car in lived close by and he was contacting them. He would call me back. He did return that call later and said unfortunately the people no longer had the title and he was going to do the paperwork to get a new one it would take up to 2 weeks!!!!! I told him to forget the deal. What dealer puts a car on the lot and goes through all of this paperwork with NO TITLE!!. The car had been there for at least 10 days. Shane tried to call a supervisor but he was busy. He would call me back. I called later and spoke to Mike. Mike didn't know our deal so would have to call me back. This was on Friday morning. He called back on Friday night at 8:45. He couldn't reach his manager and he was going to look at the inventory to see if there was another car. He would call back by 10 on Sat. I called back at 10:30 Sat. and told him I wanted my down payment credited immediately. He said they only do that at the corporate office Mon. through Fri. I would have to wait til Mon. and it might show up on my acct. by Weds. I then spoke to another manager named Charlie. He gave me no help and lied to me saying they had already sent for the title when Shane had told me that they were going to have to now fill out paperwork for the title since they didn't have it on file. The entire experience was a nightmare and I am still waiting for a credit. It is amazing how they can quickly take your money but can't refund it in a timely manner. I wasted my entire Thursday off and had nothing but stress and anxiety since that day. Poorly run dealership from start to finish!!!! More

I would never recommend or do business with this facility or any other in the Balise organization. The current rating for this dealership is actually high, a rating of ZERO is appropriate. The reason for my or any other in the Balise organization. The current rating for this dealership is actually high, a rating of ZERO is appropriate. The reason for my poor review coincides with poor service and attitudes specifically from the managers. They all sat at a counter or desk and show Zero professionalism from one end to the other. I was at the dealership during a basketball game and all the "managers" that Derek had to deal with we're sitting in front of TVs in the service area. The reason why this bothered me is because I went to grab a drink from the vending machine and I don't think they realized that customers were around but the language arrogance that Larry and Charles parade around with is appalling. After finally working out a "deal" on a new accord I had to come back for some scratches. Mind you this is a new car!. Derek was not in so I had to wait for 45 minutes for a manager to go outside to look at the car, the receptionist was very pleasant and she must have called the desk at least 4 times and you got the feeling that she was getting the run around that they were about to put me on. Larry and Charles went out with myself to look at the scratches. Larry seemed somewhat concerned but Charles was totally down playing it, "this stuff happens alot" I'm like are you kidding me?!! So they put me in a loaner car that took another 40 mins, they had another salesman find a car for me, filthy inside and out no gas, they did put had in it after 20 more minutes. It took 8 days for my car to get touched up. I was furious at the work they did. I went back and forth with Larry's Voicemail and Charles attitude. That I tried getting in touch with a person with the last name Balise after many emails and Voicemails to Mike Balise I finally had enough. I gave the car with 865 miles on it to my son and went to buy a new car from Curry Honda in Chicopee! All I can say is night and day experience. I will never do business with the Balise company again. PS I own a Livery Service and I've since bought 5 new Accord in 2 Months from Curry with another 6 cars in the next 6 months. More

with a bad experience with curry Honda but the dealers at balise were very good on price and friendliness. I will buy my next car there due to the fact that they were so friendly and even after I bought my c balise were very good on price and friendliness. I will buy my next car there due to the fact that they were so friendly and even after I bought my car they continue to answer all questions and needs!! More
