Wonderful Experience! I came into your dealership with a CRV leased from another Honda dealership. I wanted to turn this lease in and lease the new CRV. Bill Butler an I came into your dealership with a CRV leased from another Honda dealership. I wanted to turn this lease in and lease the new CRV. Bill Butler and Alex went out of their way to work with my schedule and needs. They took so much pressure off me by handling the lease turn in. Everyone at your dealership is very professional and a pleasure to work with! I love my new CRV! More

I have always been more than I was greeted at Clinton Honda by Feliks last week with the intention of buying a new Honda Accord or a Ridgeline. I have always been more than satisfied with service and wanted to continue to work with the Clinton Honda dealership. Feliks was very knowledgeable on each model and the equipment that it featured,answering all of my questions. Feliks followed up with a friendly phone call to let me know if I had further question or if he could be of further assistants. After making my decision of purchasing another Accord Feliks continued to make my buying experience pleasant . I left feeling very happy with the service that Feliks provided , he went beyond my exspectation. Cathy C More

The salesman, Bud Metz, was very helpful and easy to deal with, as was his manager, Alex Gelfand. There was none of the high-pressure sales techniques that are so common at car dealerships. Judy Meier in finance was also easy to work with. I have owned several Hondas, but have not purchased here before because I did not live in the area. I would highly recommend Clinton Honda if you are in the market for a new Honda. More

Excellent Car Buying Experience Wonderful customer service from everybody I spoke to at Clinton Honda. The dealer I worked with, Joe Vizzi, was beyond helpful, patient, and overall e Wonderful customer service from everybody I spoke to at Clinton Honda. The dealer I worked with, Joe Vizzi, was beyond helpful, patient, and overall efficient in how he helped me through the whole process. I traveled nearly an hour from Bergen County to come to this dealership to have Joe help me out and I am extremely glad that I made that decision. This is my first Honda car and first time coming to the Honda Clinton dealership, but I certainly don't think it will be my last. Also, I must say this dealership is extremely nice inside. Very impressive layout and wonderful staff, especially my man Joe Vizzi. More

Everyone, and I mean everyone I met was very helpful, accommodating, and professional. I saw what I wanted and you guys went over and beyond to make the deal happen, fixed the car, detailed it, and I've driving Ford, Isuzu, Toyota, and Jeep, this Honda is like driving a cloud and has zero issues. I'm definitely TEAM Honda now!!!! More

Smooth Transaction I worked with Bill Ripka to lock down the price (internet sales) via email. Once I came in and did a test drive I worked with Charlie Bippart. Both ar I worked with Bill Ripka to lock down the price (internet sales) via email. Once I came in and did a test drive I worked with Charlie Bippart. Both are excellent at their jobs and worked well together, they always seemed to be on the same page which speaks to their communication and professionalism. The transaction took awhile for Clinton Honda to source the specific color combo I wanted, they did so without complaint. Working with Charlie and Bill was a pleasure, both knowledgable, easy going demeanors, very good memories and customer service focused. Also interacted with Alex and have nothing but good things to say about him. All in all a smooth transaction, never any pressure and I got the vehicle I wanted at a fair price, which is all I could ask for. More

Rude service department and misleading sales agent We purchased a new car from Gil. The sales was smooth, but we got more information from Scott, who shares his office, than we did from Gil. Gil misle We purchased a new car from Gil. The sales was smooth, but we got more information from Scott, who shares his office, than we did from Gil. Gil mislead us on a few details about the car, and we did not get the wheels that we were promised. We even marked the picture in the book, and Gil said, "Yes, those are the wheels your car will come with." This was not the case when the car was delivered. Alex tried to help us out, but at that point it was too late. We accepted the car and drove home that night. The next moring we discovered that our new car had been delivered with a hole in the front seat. We called Gil and he told us that the seat would be replaced. He told us we needed to come back to Clinton Honda so Alex coud see the hole. I did (20 min ride one way) and Alex looked at the hole. Gil and Alex told me that the seat would not be repaired, but instead, replaced with a new seat. I went home. A day or two later, Gil called me and asked me to come back again so he could see the color? I asked him why he didn't look at the color when I drove out to show Alex the hole?? I was irritated. I did not have time to drive back out again. Gill called me back a bit later and told me that I did not need to come back out because he had decided just to order both colors. We were contacted a few days later by Michelle in service. She gave me a few dates and asked me to check the calendar and call her back. When I called her back, I was routed to a different agent (Jenna) because Michelle was busy. I made an appointment with Jenna and dropped the car off at night for a 7:30 am appt. the next day. The next morning around 10:00 am I recieved a call from Michelle. She was unaware that my car had been scheduled or was even in the shop. She told me they had not started work on the car yet bc she did not know it was there. She informed me several times that I was suppose to call her back. I explained that I did call back, but was rerouted to a different service agent. She then told me that they were heating up my car so they could put a new cover on my front seat. I told her that Gil said that it was being replaced. Michelle became very huffy and told me that it did not need to be replaced and that it was just a hole and they were putting on a new leather cover. She told me that if that was not what I anticipated then she had to stop the service appt. and I had to reschedule. I called my husband to discuss. We agreed to let service recover the new seat, but if it did not look good, we would need it replaced. She agreed. I arrived back at about 4:30 pm via the Honda shuttle. The driver was lovely. Very polite and friendly. When my car was brought around, I looked at the seat and was horrified. The seat was covered in a wrinkly leather cover, that looked terrible and nothing like the other front seat. I expressed my dissatisfaction to Michelle. She told me that she spoke to service and that it was normal. I should wait a while and it will flatten out. When I asked her how long, she acted exasperated with me and said, "I don't know...maybe 3 weeks??" I walked away to find Gil. He was not around. I found Alex. He came right out and looked at the car and agreed. Terrible job. It was a brand new car with a wrinkled up leather front seat. He told Michelle to arrange for a new seat and that it needed to be done right. She did not appear happy to hear that from him either, especially since she had just told me it would be fine in a few weeks. She snapped at Alex that she would need it in writing to authorize it. Maybe that is protocol, but she was as rude to Alex as she was to me. I then asked if my liscence plates had been put on during the entire day the car had been at the the service center. Michelle told me no, and that she had NO idea they were supposed to do that. I told her that when I dropped the car off, I had asked Jenna if that could be taken care of while the car was here. She politely agreed and wrote it in large letters across the service contract "Please put on new liscense plates for customer." (or close to that) I relayed that information to Michelle and she did not reply. She took the agreement and looked at it, saw the request and told some young service employee to put on the plates. Not a word to me. Nothing. Rude. This is our 4th Honda purchased at this center. We expect to be treated politely by the service deptartment. We expect that when we are told we are getting specific wheels, that we will get them. This will not be our last Honda, but it could be the last one we buy from Clinton Honda. More
