Bay Ridge Honda

This was the first time my wife and I were buying a car and we were worried we would get ripped off since we were faily clueless about cars. We went to many dealers to get an idea of what we wanted. Each o and we were worried we would get ripped off since we were faily clueless about cars. We went to many dealers to get an idea of what we wanted. Each one could probably sense that we were inexperienced and they tried to sell us anything and everything. When we walked into Bay Ridge Honda, it was a completely different feel! Richie Forgione met with us and we spoke about our needs/wants. He didn't rush through anything. He made sure we understood everything he was saying. He gave us a lot of pointers/advice and information about everything as well. Once we decided on the CR-V, we met with Richie and George Gambino to talk price. He gave us a great price which stayed within our budget. George gave us time to discuss it privately. When we made a final decision, they were as happy for us as we were. I honestly could not have asked for a better experience buying my first new car. Richie and George were absolutely amazing. We could not have asked for more from them. They were pleasant, friendly and HONEST! I would recommend them to anyone with out thinking twice! I promise they will make your car buying experience a great one! More

Andy Feldman was very patient with us as we determined which car we'd like to buy, over multiple visits. He answered questions, offered us options, followed up with us but wasn't pushy or rude at all. I a which car we'd like to buy, over multiple visits. He answered questions, offered us options, followed up with us but wasn't pushy or rude at all. I actually looked forward to talking with him (which says a lot for car salesmen). Sales manager Gene was also helpful, honest & stuck to his word. We saw another manager at one point who seemed to want to give me the hard-line (which I didn't care for), but didn't have any interaction with him for the final sale/negotiations. Price was fair. Not the bottom-line cheapest I'd seen in researching the tri-state, but certainly not overpriced & they gave us a very fair price for our trade in. Were willing to work with us. Overall our experience was very, very good! They even made sure we could drive out with the new car on that Saturday afternoon. The salespeople at a nearby Mazda dealership we visited (in Bensonhurst) seemed like clowns compared to the upstanding guys at Bay Ridge Honda. I'd send my friends to Andy if they were looking for a new Honda. More

This was my first ever experience in buying a car and it was a great one. I found the vehicle that perfectly fit my price range with the help of a very experienced, patient and helpful salesperson.

Not a terrible dealership, but I felt like they had very little respect for my time. I had called in advance after working out numbers with one of their Internet sales reps, and had let them know when I'd little respect for my time. I had called in advance after working out numbers with one of their Internet sales reps, and had let them know when I'd be showing up. I get there, still wait 15 minutes, only to find out the car didn't exist. Net time wasted, 30 minutes. The price that I had worked out wasn't even very competitive, but I figured I'd rather do business locally than drive to Jersey. A decision which I ended up regretting that day. More

Cons: Incompetence, arrogance, car advertised is not immediately available. Pros: Not as I know of. This dealership will not negotiate on a price regardless of what a current invoice price, market p immediately available. Pros: Not as I know of. This dealership will not negotiate on a price regardless of what a current invoice price, market price or car options would be. Neither will they provide even a brief introduction of the features / options available (I think, you deserve to know why you are asked to pay 700-1500 more then anywhere else). Consider this place is if: 1) You are already well aware of what comes with a particular model you are after and ready to pay a sticker price; 2)If you are ready to wait until your car is actually available (seeing one in a lot doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to drive it home the same day). Shop at your own risk. More

I entered Bay Ridge Honda last night to purchase my first new (leased) car. When I entered the dealership, I met Richie, who immediately asked me about the types of cars that I was interested in, as well as new (leased) car. When I entered the dealership, I met Richie, who immediately asked me about the types of cars that I was interested in, as well as what I was looking for. There were two Honda Civics that were on the showroom floor near the front door, and I immediately looked at them as potential candidates. One was an LX, and one was an EX, and Richie offered to run both numbers for me as a comparison. Richie ran the numbers in front of me, and with complete transparency. I am a very mathematical person, and the way that the numbers were explained to me was very clear and concise. After taking another look another version of the car that I was unaware existed (the LXS), I decided on a make and model that I would like, as well as a price that I was happy with. I then asked Richie if he would be able to deliver the car that night, and he said that he would be able to do so, along with license plates and registration! Richie worked with the other employees of the dealership to ensure that I would be able to drive my car home that night. While everyone was taking care of the paperwork, Richie was available to answer any questions that I had about the vehicle. I was very impressed that everything was able to be done in about three hours time, with minimal stress and headaches. Richie consistently asked me if I had any more questions for him, and repeatedly told me that if I ever had any concerns, that he was available to listen to them. The next day, Richie gave me a courtesy call to ask if I had any more questions or issues with the car. I look forward to continuing to build a relationship with him, and I'm sure that Bay Ridge Honda will continue to win my business in the years to come. More

I recently purchased a new car from Bay Ridge Honda. My sales consultant was Joseph Barca. Joe is an old school salesman. He prides himself with dedication to customer satisfaction and quality service. A t sales consultant was Joseph Barca. Joe is an old school salesman. He prides himself with dedication to customer satisfaction and quality service. A trait that seems to go missing these days all to frequently as I have found out in my travels for a new car! Joe works with a very popular and honest company called Carsdirect.com. They are an internet business and by chance he is the only one willing to work with them here in NY!! Boy was that a great matchup. I saved alot of money going this route and Joe made the whole transition go smoothly. He was great to work with. If you ever happen to be in Bay Ridge and are interested in purchasing or leasing a Honda. Ask for Joseph Barca. You will be happy that you did. Ernie Collier More

Best car buying experience ever!!!!!! my salesman, Richard Forgione, was courteous, very professional and extremely knowledgeable about all of Honda's products. I decided on the Civic and couldn't be Richard Forgione, was courteous, very professional and extremely knowledgeable about all of Honda's products. I decided on the Civic and couldn't be happier. Richard went out of his way and had the model I wanted delivered the very next day and I was on my way. Very hassle free and a great price to boot. Would highly recommend Bay Ridge Honda to family and friends. More
