I have purchased 6 Hondas from Brillance and each and every experience was fun, pleasant and educational. All were very professional and honest. I have a "car buying hobby" and have experienced many de every experience was fun, pleasant and educational. All were very professional and honest. I have a "car buying hobby" and have experienced many dealers, techniques and sales people in various parts of the country. I have purchased every Honda model except the Ridgeline and S2000. I already have another model in mind--The CrossTour-- a little big for me but maybe I will try it anyway. Do your homework, know the value of your trade and the fair market price of your intended purchase. Be polite, reasonable and honest and you will be treated the same way. Remember the dealer has to make a profit in order to survive. More

This dealership uses "Bait and Switch" tactics. Was This dealership uses "Bait and Switch" tactics. Was provided an "No haggle internet price" via email from Bob Daniel (Internet Sales). Upon arr This dealership uses "Bait and Switch" tactics. Was provided an "No haggle internet price" via email from Bob Daniel (Internet Sales). Upon arriving at the dealership Bob Daniel handed me off to Evan Medsker (Sales & Leasing Consultant). During negotiations Jeff Deters (Sales Manager) offered a trade in value of 2/3 the price of Kelly Blue Book "Fair" Trade in value. When I was ready to leave the dealership, Jeff stated that he could give an additional $500 on the trade in and wanted to know what it would take to make the deal. I told him that I would have to talk with my wife and would be in the next day. The next morning I arrived at the dealership, picked the model of car that I wanted, and told them that they would have to do better on the trade in to get my business. Evan Medsker "talked" with his sales manager and agreed to an additional $500 for the trade in. I told them that they had a deal, shook Evan's hand and told him I could be in the next business day to sign the paperwork. The sales manager (Jeff Deters) asked for me to sign the paperwork that day so the sale would be in the current month, I agreed to return in the afternoon. That afternoon I received a call from Evan Medsker asking when I would be in, and he stated that all the paperwork was ready. I went to the dealership shortly after receiving the call to find that the paperwork was not ready. Evan Medsker offered to sell me a "protection plan", after I stated that I didn't see the need, he Evan stated that the cars do not come with any protection from rust, I still declined the "protection plan". Evan left me sitting for a period of time after I did not agree to buy the "protection plan", when Evan returned, he stated that the price of the car would be an additional $750 for the car. I got up, shook Evan's hand and said "Have a nice day". More

I recently purchased a new Honda Civic EX for my son as a College Graduation present. Ben Mennella in service exceeded my expectations while installing additional equipment to my vehicle and made sure I was College Graduation present. Ben Mennella in service exceeded my expectations while installing additional equipment to my vehicle and made sure I was 100% satisfied. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and outstanding customer service. I highly recommend this dealership for going the extra mile to satisfy their customers.

My original review has disappeared! Very strange. I gave an accurate review of this dealer and had used a poorly chosen descriptive word for the manager but later corrected it when asked to do so by dealerr an accurate review of this dealer and had used a poorly chosen descriptive word for the manager but later corrected it when asked to do so by dealerrater. This dealer is very untrustworthy. I had negotiated a firm price on a new Honda via email and telephone with the sales staff. Upon arrival they mandated that we pay $400 for the "protection package" which was splash guards, wheel lock, and a cargo mat. We said we did not agree on that and they could either honor their negotiated price (which we had evidence of) or remove the parts. Then the manager got involved and said "do you want the car or not?". We said yes, for the price we all agreed on. He said "whatever, see ya" and stormed off. Not the way to conduct business. Very much a bait-and-switch tactic. $400 by itself is not a lot of money but the principle of doing this is dishonest. How many just go ahead and pay this? LOTS of other dealers out there. We worked with several others who were very honest and upfront about these charges and did not wait until you arrived in the showroom to start adding them on. AVOID. More

I am shocked to see the negative comments on this dealership. I heard that this dealership was not the best to go to but I wanted to try for myself. I have been in the car business for 19 years and k dealership. I heard that this dealership was not the best to go to but I wanted to try for myself. I have been in the car business for 19 years and know all the tricks to the trade. I went into this dealer to look at a 2008 Honda S2000 and began the negotiation pricing. I was treated with respect and courtesy and feel that I got a fair price. The sales experience was 1 of the best i have had and I have no complaints. The prepping of the vehicle and all the paperwork took longer than I would have liked but the dealership was very busy. ( this should tell you something). Needless to say about 3 weeks later a family member of mine comes to me asking what I thought of the Honda CRv. I told her the car is a nice car and I had a dealership if she was interested. I called and spoke to Warren and gave him the stock number of the vehicle. When we arrived the vehicle was ready for us to test drive with no waiting. We test drove the vehicle and had a price agreed upon within 30 minutes. Bottom line I purchased two vehicles from this dealership within the last three weeks. People need to understand when you go to a dealership that there are times when your not the only one waiting to go into the business office for the paperwork. This stuff takes time. Also remember the business manager makes his money off of accessories and extended warranties. If you want it buy it...if you dont tell him "NO". If he continues to pressure you open your mouth and simply say...."I told you no and if you ask again you will loose this deal" He will shut up 99.9 percent of the time. From reading some of these negative reviews I see some impatient people. My opinion and only a opinion.....if you go to a dealership to purchase a car and think it will only take 1 hour your nuts!!!!! Warren and Darryl thank you for everything. When we are ready for replacement Honda's we will be back!!! More

I came in for another new car, my 2nd Accord. Mr. Warren Choe was still working there. It was so nice to see him. He remembered me and greeted me by name. I was shocked he remembered me so well. It was Choe was still working there. It was so nice to see him. He remembered me and greeted me by name. I was shocked he remembered me so well. It was 2 years ago that I was in. It felt so family like there. People were kind and helpful. I wanted more information on the Cash for Clunkers program and Warren took time out to explain more to me even though I wasn't able to bring my mom in with her Clunker. I took home my new accord and will be back with my Mom. Thanks Warren. I will be Back to Brilliance Honda again! I am so glad you are still there. Thank you for remembering me and making me feel so welcome and part of your family there at Brilliance. I look forward to seeing you again soon. More
