Route 22 Honda

this was the dealership where I learned this trick: they quote you a price over the phone. it's called the "internet special." you go in. you wait about 1/2 hour while they search for the car. you test dri quote you a price over the phone. it's called the "internet special." you go in. you wait about 1/2 hour while they search for the car. you test drive it. you sit down, and suddenly the "internet special" price is only good on two cars, and they're only the one that you have to pay an extra $700 on for "window etchings" and "paint sealant" and "Free key replacements for four years." They tally up the price and with their inflated fees it ends up being way more than MSRP. it was hard to find an english-speaking sales rep as well-- most business here is done in spanish. More

During my 2+ month search, I was cheated by New Jersey Hillside Dealer (Route 22 Honda) and New York Jamaica Nemet Nissan Dealer twice in Apr and May 2010. They played the same dirty tricks -- promised m Hillside Dealer (Route 22 Honda) and New York Jamaica Nemet Nissan Dealer twice in Apr and May 2010. They played the same dirty tricks -- promised me a good deal at a competitative price, asked me to go there, signed the contract, bought the insurance (Nemet Motor required), and, then required me to buy certain options and pay surcharges, from $1299 (Route 22) to $2000 (Nemet). When I refused, they kicked me out extremely rudely. I wasted 8 hours at Nemet or 3 hours at Route 22 already, not to mention 3 hours travel time to the dealer site. So, I had to leave empty-handed. I hated these two and most dealers and I swear I would never deal with any dealers to negeotiate price and terms on-site. I'll do everythign through emails and I only to go there, pay and pick up the car. The New Jersey Freehold dealer does not belong to the very best dealers who are willing to offer me transparent price. DCH Academy Honda in New Jersy gave me a clean list of price, including sales tax and title, and the final out-the-door price; and they promised me that is the final price I need to pay, 100% sure they would have any hidden price or options. After DCH's email of clean quote, a few other NY and NJ dealers followed the suits and sent me their transparent price list, too. Some are better priced, two hundreds ($200) lower than DCH's price. But I choose DCH firmly because I valued their honest service and appreciated their being the first to offer me a whole clean list of price via emails. I would not jump ship unless any other quote is at least $500 lower than DCH (that would mean DCH is overpriced). Actually, none of the other quoted list is more than $300 lower than DCH. So, I told DCH I would go there on Sat (last Sat 6/12/10), pay and pick up the car. I already told them the color I want via email. DCH got the car ready there, did an express buy procedure for me, and overall it took me only 2 hours and 8 minutes to drive the new car away. I am thrilled at DCH's perfect service. Going forward, I'll most likely stick to DCH for all my life time car request, unless their price is way too much out-of-norm, which is likely unlikely. I have gone to http://www.dealerrater.com/ to give DCH the highest rating and I will tell all me friends and 19,000 members in my organization, where I am its Chairman, that DCH is the honest and best choice, while Route 22 Hillside Honda and NYC Nemet Motor are the most evil dealers to play dirty tricks to customers.

Such a big liar! More

I bought a trade-in secondhand Toyota Yaris 2008 there. The salesman was really friendly at first. However, when I was going to sign the contract, this guy put down lots of extra charge on it! I did not re The salesman was really friendly at first. However, when I was going to sign the contract, this guy put down lots of extra charge on it! I did not realize it after I signed...the car financed and co-signed by two people and I waited for almost two months to get my plate and title...after I paid, everyone there changed the attitude toward me since they got the money! so EVIL of them!!!DO NOT GO THERE TO BUY CARS BY ANY MEANS!

I am not satisfied with the purchase. I believe i was tricked into buying from route 22 honda. I stay an hour of driving from route 22 honda. I have honda dealers near my home, and i visited them and rec tricked into buying from route 22 honda. I stay an hour of driving from route 22 honda. I have honda dealers near my home, and i visited them and received a quote from them, however, i decided to visit route 22 honda thinking that i might get a better deal there because of the false advertisements in your website like the "0% APR for all tiers of customers" and "we will beat any dealers price by $500" emails. I visited route 22 honda, and salesperson Addy laventure gave me an "out of the door" price of $20,040 with 3.3% apr. I thought i was getting a good deal and went for it. Later,after my credit check was done the sales officer added about $800 for "premium package", which is mandatory. This increases the out of the door price to $20,800. Why didnt Addy Laventure tell me about this premium package before the credit check??. If so, i would have walked right out of the door and purchased from a dealer near my house. They took advantage of the fact that most customers dont want too many hard credit enquiries on their credit, because this lowers the score. Secondly the so called "premium package" is not worth more than $300 at other dealers. (window etching costs $169 at other dealer, theft protection is double there, duplicate keys cost is insignificant,). Besides, i checked my transunion credit score before visiting route22 honda. It was 682. I dont know how route 22 honda pulled out a score of 614 from transunion and charged me high interest for financing. If i see overall, i got the same price from route 22 honda compared to the dealer near my house quoted. Infact i would have got a few hundred dollars less at the latter, if i had negotiated. Lately, my apr was changed from 8.7% to 7.6 %, but i was forcibly charged for extra warranty. I drove an hour to reach route22honda only to purchase at the same price elsewhere. Not satisfied. Please remove the 0% apr false advertisement from your website. I also got an email from crystal graham saying that "Route 22 Honda guarantees that we will beat any other Honda dealership's price up to $500!" Alluring customers based on false facts is not acceptable and try to be polite with your customers.I cannot recommend route22honda to anyone. And guess what??. After complianing to Honda about this, the salesperson calls me back and abuses me over the phone???. More

This dealership is the worst. I wanted to buy a car for my wife's birthday. I was interested in a new 2009 Honda civic. When it was a warm day she wanted to turn on the a/c but it couldn't work. So I took my wife's birthday. I was interested in a new 2009 Honda civic. When it was a warm day she wanted to turn on the a/c but it couldn't work. So I took it to the auto shop and they said the car does not have an a/c. Ronald didn't even tell us that the car does not have an a/c. All they want to do is trick you into spending your money. I suggest you never buy a vehicle from the dealership in your life. All Ronald cares about is having money in his pocket. More

I'm in love with my new car!! I've been driving the same car since 2002. So when it came down to buying a new car, I needed the experience of buying it to be just as incredible as the car itself. Mohammed m car since 2002. So when it came down to buying a new car, I needed the experience of buying it to be just as incredible as the car itself. Mohammed made that happen for me. Besides the Manager John, at Rt. 22 Honda, Mohammed made my 1st car purchase in 8 years a memorable one. He is kind, patient, extremely knowledgeable, and the perfect representation of what a Honda Sales Representative should be! I was at the dealership twice. Once to pick out the car, and the other to finalize the deal and actually drive the car home. Not only did Mohammed take his time with me, but he made it feel like my car and I were his only priority amidst a very busy dealership. The manager John came out twice from behind his desk to maintain the friendly pace that Mohammed effortlessly set. The whole experience was a 10, and Mohammed was an 11!! I highly recommend Mohammed at Rt. 22 Honda, there is no other person to choose to make the overall experience of buying a car anymore superior... Thanks Mohammed!!!! More

Mohamed is an exceptional dealer! My boyfriend and I where having a very hard time finding a car because we didn't have enough credit n one of us had very bad credit. We where getting denied everywhere where having a very hard time finding a car because we didn't have enough credit n one of us had very bad credit. We where getting denied everywhere we went and sone dealership treated us so bad, wouldn't even give us a chance! Mohamed change the whole experiance for us! He made one of out dreams possible, the dream to have our own car! I don't know how but he did! He's amazing n the nicest person I have met! And he gets the work done quick! I recommend him to my family and anyone else! Thank you soooooooo much!!!! Honda rt. 22 is the best!!!! And I will go there again and again! The dealership was far from where I live but it was highly recommended, the trip was worth while and now I'm passing the recommendation right along to the next lucky shopper! More

I had been looking for a new car for about a week and was nearing my deadline of when I had to make up my mind. I had looked at Subaru, Hyundai, Toyota and Ford and with all of them I just felt something wa nearing my deadline of when I had to make up my mind. I had looked at Subaru, Hyundai, Toyota and Ford and with all of them I just felt something was not entirely right with each of them. Not necessarily with the cars, but with how I felt about driving it. I went on to Route22's website on Friday night and saw a promotion and sent in my name and email as well as my phone number. Within 10 minutes my phone rang and I made an appointment for the next morning. I was the first customer there and the sales associates were in a meeting. Craig, from the delivery services department, came up to me and explained someone would be with me in a moment. He offered me a cup of coffee, set me up in front of the TV in the waiting room and when the associates came out of their meeting made sure someone came right to me. That is when I met Ike. He introduced himself to me and then we got right into looking at the 2010 Accord. I am not going to get into the details, but Ike was very thorough and in the end, working with Joe, got me exactly the deal that I wanted and I drove off the lot a little over an hour later. All in all I was in the dealership for three hours. Never have I been able to buy a car that quickly and been so confident about what I purchased. I highly recommend Route 22 and when you go in, ask for Ike. More

I bought Honda Odessey EX-L from Rt 22 honda. It was a nightmare experience for me. If i have gone thru this web site, i could have saved time and money. Rt 22 people works on principle of bait and switc nightmare experience for me. If i have gone thru this web site, i could have saved time and money. Rt 22 people works on principle of bait and switch. I spent around 10 hours in the dealer to buy the minivan. First sales person Eddy me a good price and i was happy that i am buying the minivan for 30 K + sales tax. Then He took my credit card for keeping the price promised. Second sales person, Kevin bumped the price with the millienum package. Finanace dept cheated me after adding warranty , lojack and millienum service package. The car costed me around 34K + honda warranty. He stappled all the papers so that i will never open the papers in my life. I went to them after the weekend to explain about why warranty is added ? He told me that i should have read the papers before signing the contract. My advice to all is do not buy any vehicle from Rt 22 honda using finance. If sales people gives you good price then finance people will cheat you. Finance guy will praise you and you will keep on signing the papers as they do not give you time to read any stuff. More
