Came in to purchase a 2024 CRV Hybrid. We've owned 9 other Honda vehicles, and expected nothing less than a stellar experience, as we have previously had at other dealerships. We came in We've owned 9 other Honda vehicles, and expected nothing less than a stellar experience, as we have previously had at other dealerships. We came in on Wed, 11/8/23, 2:15 We took a quick drive and wanted to sit down and purchase the car. I had called earlier in the day and spoken to Branston, so asked for him when we came in. He was busy, so Joseph helped us out. They were both very helpful and the best part of the experience. Once we were handed over to finance - not so much. They were short staffed, and left people waiting with no updates. One person was told over and over for a couple hours that it would be another 10 minutes. We asked for an update and the finance rep who went to check, didn't come back to tell us anything. We saw him and flagged him down. We were there until 5:15, and still no idea of how long we'd be there. We had a dinner engagement and said we had to leave, and would come back 2 days later. The finance guys said he didn't think they'd hold it, but the salesman did. We came back on the 10th, making an appointment, so that we could just come in and do the paperwork quickly. They didn't have it ready. We had to wait for them to have it ready, and were there for 2 hours, for an appointment that should've taken much less time. This is a high demand vehicle and they added premuim fees of a few thousnad dollars. Because we were paying more than sticker price for the car, We asked if they'd throw in a cargo mat for the back area of the car. We were told that the parts dept wouldn't do it, but they'd give us a deal on it. They claimed it was normally $200+, but would discount it to $130. $130 is the MSRP for the mat, so there was some dishonesty at work here. They had the CRV in the color I wanted in stock, so we went ahead with the purchase. There were 2 other dealerships in the area that had one coming in a few days. If we hadn't started the process, I would've gone to another dealership. Branston and Joseph were helpful. The finance person (Alyssa?) we ultimately delat with was professional, but we had hoped for everything to be ready to go when we got there. The rest of the process was unorganized and unprofessional. In all we were there 3 hours the first day and 2 hours the second day. between the unorganized and unprofessional manner in which they operate, and the dishonest quote for a cargo mat, I wouldn't make them my dealer of choice. We came very close to leaving, and would have if we hadn't already invested so much time. I went the next day and purchased a cargo mat from DCH Honda in Oxnard. More
I purchased a new Honda Civic at this dealership in July 2023. Mistakes were made on the dealership end which prolonged the title being sent. My check had cleared. I reached out to the DMV fraud department 2023. Mistakes were made on the dealership end which prolonged the title being sent. My check had cleared. I reached out to the DMV fraud department and shortly after was able to get my car title. I am still sorting out DMV paperwork since the dealership must have made mistakes with transfer of title for my trade-in. I have never had so many paperwork errors when dealing with a facility. I just read that a Swickard in Alaska was in trouble for fraud. I am assuming that there are issues with poor management. I did think the salesman was kind and hardworking. More
I always bring my car to Acura of Thousand Oaks where I purchased it brand new. My vehicle is a critical part of my career because I cannot be late nor delay my services, for any reason. I was happy to hav purchased it brand new. My vehicle is a critical part of my career because I cannot be late nor delay my services, for any reason. I was happy to have found a caring Service Advisor at Acura but an after almost a year, he moved to Honda of TO. Justin Z. Soohoo, has always been an outstanding ambassador of the Acura brand, he makes us feel like one of his when caring for our vehicle. At Honda of TO, he continues to elevate this brand with his extra-caring ways and relationship skills. He explains the services needed and provides us alternatives to fix the maintenance services, at the same time. He updates us during the maintenance protocols and makes sure that our vehicle is in tip top shape, all the time. Justin is an outstanding ambassador of how service advisors should be: personable, caring, and an honest individual who puts his customers at a higher level of respect than others. More

The salesman was nice, and the facility was clean. It took hours to complete the paperwork so I left. I returned a few days later and spend more time completing paperwork. I was paying with a check so It took hours to complete the paperwork so I left. I returned a few days later and spend more time completing paperwork. I was paying with a check so it wasn’t a complicated issue. A few weeks later the staff calls and tells me they made mistakes on the paperwork. I would have to return so they could fix their mistakes which included a wrong VIN number and incorrect year of my trade in. I reached out to the manager but he never responded. More
My son leased the car from them about three years ago. He had a really good experience. He wanted to buy the car out and TO Honda's xxI woman told him the only way that they would handle it is if he bough He had a really good experience. He wanted to buy the car out and TO Honda's xxI woman told him the only way that they would handle it is if he bought a $2500 warranty. I told my son of course he misunderstood the xxI woman. I spoke to the xxI person and she doubled down. She not only said that they will only handle the deal if they sold the overpriced warranty that everybody wanted, but if we dealt with Honda finance directly, they would require we pay cash for the car. I told her that was ridiculous. It was ridiculous. Honda finance was very nice and they were happy to work with our lender. My advice, especially when dealing with a car dealer, is, if it sounds too good to be true, or sounds too bad to be true, proceed thoughtfully. More
I took my car in to take care of a warranty issue. My door panel had developed a defect on the coating. My car has only 10k miles on it and the warranty still has a year left on a three-year warranty. My door panel had developed a defect on the coating. My car has only 10k miles on it and the warranty still has a year left on a three-year warranty. It quickly became obvious that the service manager had no intention of helping me. This is what she had to say.... *Problems of this type usually show up in the first year *Nothing but water should be used to clean the door panel (Really, tell that to a detailer) *My elbow caused the coating to wear out She called it wear and tear and Honda will not cover it, end of the story. I then took the car to Honda of Reseda and had no problem, they looked at the panel over and declared it a defect. They are ordering the part. If you are looking for great customer service I recommend Honda of Reseda. As for Honda of Thousand oaks don't waste your time, go to someone that actually cares about you and your car. More
Terrible Policies and Management. I have been planning to buy my first car but they refuse to give me a test drive without insurance. None of the other dealers refused me to take a test drive. Even after sev buy my first car but they refuse to give me a test drive without insurance. None of the other dealers refused me to take a test drive. Even after several inquiries, they refuse to acknowledge the fact that insurance is tied to a specific vehicle and I cannot just get insurance without purchasing the vehicle first. The insurance of test-drive vehicles is tied with the dealer and not the consumer. More
