61 Reviews of DCH Montclair Acura - Service Center
I was at the service center for my 2007 MDX 2 days ago- Angela was the service rep I dealt with.My experience this time was great which has made me write this review. Angela Velez is good at what she do Angela was the service rep I dealt with.My experience this time was great which has made me write this review. Angela Velez is good at what she does,Very knowledgeable,Professional, knew what she was talking about and got my vehicle's problems fixed. Even ensured I was not to wait for long- got me a loaner too. I have owned this Pre-owned 2007 MDX for 3years and my experience at this dealer is only getting better. I have had friends who own BMW/Mercedes/Lexsus and have had horrible experiences to share all the time. People like Angela Velez / Christopher Park at the service center and Dealership's like DCH make the difference. Thank you Raghu Mariyappa More
Although the source of the information I am going to cite has either long since been forgotten, or perhaps, has never been known at all, I can recall once having heard that a customer, after having received has either long since been forgotten, or perhaps, has never been known at all, I can recall once having heard that a customer, after having received poor service from a sales or customer service representative, statistically speaking, is likely to share, or rather, “vent” his dilemma with as many as twenty-five people, as opposed to the satisfied customer, who, perhaps, may inform only one individual of a particular sales or customer service representative’s high caliber of service. Based on the lackluster, nonchalant service performed by the majority of sales and customer service representatives with whom I deal and have dealt for almost as long as I can remember, it appears as though mediocrity has become the acknowledged commonplace industry standard with which, unfortunately, I have had to acclimate myself. However, it is not often that one has the fortuitous opportunity to deal with consummate professionals such as Mr. Tim Broderick and Mr. Bob Small of DCH Montclair Acura. Concerned, caring, patient and extremely product knowledgeable are the first thoughts that come to mind when I think of the professional and congenial manner in which both Mr. Broderick and Mr. Small dealt with me upon my having brought my car in for service. They rendered straightforward and proper advice, and did not attempt to sell unwarranted service or repairs to me. In fact, my favorable dealings with Mr. Broderick and Mr. Small have left me with such an overall positive impression of DCH Montclair Acura, that aside from the wonderful quality I have come to recognize and expect from Acura products, they are one of the primary reasons why I would not only opt to purchase an Acura in preference to other automotive manufacturers’ products, but, specifically from DCH Montclair Acura. I would like to formally commend Mr. Broderick and Mr. Small for the efforts they expended on my behalf to ensure my total satisfaction as an Acura customer. The high quality of service that they have provided is the benchmark by which all others in the customer service sector should be judged. More
Had a great experience leasing my Acura with Paul Eng, Colleen Amir, and the sales manager. However, that's where the relationship ends. I called in a few weeks ago because my battery had died 4 times on Colleen Amir, and the sales manager. However, that's where the relationship ends. I called in a few weeks ago because my battery had died 4 times on my car and they offered me a loaner. My son took the car in and had midterm exams for college so he needed the loaner since we work during the weekdays and repairs are not done on weekends. They said they could not loan him a car because of his age. A few weeks went by, and the car battery stopped dying by itself. I thought the battery had charged itself, but it died again recently. I called in to schedule a repair appointment and needed a loaner to get to work but they said they couldn't loan me a car. They told me that service loaners are only available for 3+ hours of work - last time I called Acura corporate was involved so I'm assuming they put pressure on the dealership to make things right. All in all disappointed in the lack of consistency with this dealership and the changing managers - our old salesman does not work here anymore sadly. This is why Acura and Lexus lose all their business to Audi, BMW, and Mercedes. All my friends get service loaners no questions asked when any work is done on their cars. Why pay for luxury service when it is not given? Overall, disappointed with this dealership and now do business with Ramsey Acura until my lease ends. More
I have owned 3 MDX and the only reason is because of Tom Cardace and the service department. Tom is the best service consultant you could ask for. He does everything he says he will do. He keeps me informe Cardace and the service department. Tom is the best service consultant you could ask for. He does everything he says he will do. He keeps me informed of any potential problems and fixes the issues that are in current need of repair. My 2001 MDX has over 250,000 miles on it, still on the road and I owe it to the service it has received from them. I know that when I leave, my truck is in great shape. As a women, no bigger fear could be is to break down on the road with a child and I fell extremely confident that will not happen. It hasn't happened to me since 2001 and that is saying something.... Tom is the best! More

Stan at the parts department has a very nasty attitude. I needed to get a tire ordered from Montclair where I originally bought the car because the Maywood service center did not carry it. I gave him the in needed to get a tire ordered from Montclair where I originally bought the car because the Maywood service center did not carry it. I gave him the information on the tire, but he still sounded very impatient and frustrated over the phone. The only I was expecting out of Montclair is to receive friendly service after getting the run around from Maywood. He told me to give him a call back once I have all the information together. I called back two minutes later and found out he had already ordered the tire and didn't even want to speak to me! Someone needs to teach him how to deal with clients! Very unhappy client here. More
Everyone I worked with in the service department has been kind, thorough and patient. I know exactly what I can expect from the dealership and what I am (or may be) responsible for.

I bought my 1999 TL there brand new and over the years have paid extensively for service there because I expect a dealer to service the car correctly. Unfortunately, the bills have been high but the serv have paid extensively for service there because I expect a dealer to service the car correctly. Unfortunately, the bills have been high but the service quality has been poor. I brought the car there for brakes and paid almost $1000,00 only to find out that only the back brakes were done. A few years ago they replaced the transmission with a new one under warranty (although I had to pay $1000 labor) at around 106,000 miles. When I had the brakes done which was within the warranty period of the transmission, I asked that they check the transmission and they made no mention of it when i picked up the car or in the report. At 155,000 miles the transmission literally exploded. To repair it they asked that I pay $4,300!!! After a week of going back and forth all they would cover is 10% of the bill supposedly with Acura picking up another 10%. I will never EVER buy a car there again or recommend them. More
I had leased my 1997 Integra LS from Springfield Acura in Springfield, NJ and after 1 week I had my A/C unit fail. I returned to the service dept. to have it checked. They made me wait 4 hrs. And told me it Springfield, NJ and after 1 week I had my A/C unit fail. I returned to the service dept. to have it checked. They made me wait 4 hrs. And told me it would cost me $500.00. I asked about the warrantee & said it was NOT covered & threw me out by the collar & told me to not come back! I was inraged by this treatment after paying $20000.00 for the car. I called Acura customer care to explaine my problem with this dealer. They told me they know about them & cant do anything except send my to Montclair Acura, who was the best dealer they had. I took their suggestion and went to Montclair. When I stepped into the service dept door, a service writter greated me, told me they have everything ready for me to take a loaner car & the car will be fixed under warrantee & Don't worry about a thing we will call you when it is ready & enjoy the loaner. This was the kind of service I still get from Montclair Acura. I leased my 2nd Integra from Montclair acura and have been treated like part of the family. Many times they have gone out of their way to repair my car with little to no cost when able. I would never go to any other Acura dealer for my auto needs. I never saw an auto company that cares as much as this dealer! If I ever bought another car it will be from Montclair Acura. They treat their customers as they should and I recomend them with no doubt! They are truely the best car company & Kirk Quinones is service manager and has cared for my service needs with his team of service providers and will be the man to see! I still have my 2000 Integra and will keep it forever with the great service that Kirk peovides me. More
