A dream comes true! I was very anxious to get into a new vehicle, I had almost no credit, nobody to vouch for me and a new driving licence. It's without saying that the I was very anxious to get into a new vehicle, I had almost no credit, nobody to vouch for me and a new driving licence. It's without saying that the odds for me to get a new Honda where very thin. All my friends recommended the new Civic so I went online to find the best dealership and sales consultant. Mehdi's reviews made him stand out from the crowd. He was regularly praised for his professionalism, integrity and good character. So I took matters into my own hands and went to New Rochelle. Mehdi was exactly as described in the reviews. After a warm greeting and a couple of questions, he showed me the Civic, went over the different trim levels, and took me on a test drive to make sure that I liked the vehicle. I didn't want the basic one, the remote starter and the moon roof where a must, so he got me a great deal on the Civic EX . Furthermore the EX also offers the Apple car play and Android auto that allowes me to get navigation through my smartphone! I shared with him all my apprehensions, and not only he's been able to put me at ease by being a good listener , he kindly walked me through all the process. He also spent a great amount of time helping me to shop for my insurance. The first pricing I got was prohibitively high, but after calling several company's and broker, he helped me cut the initial price in half. The second step was to meet with Ben my Business Manager. Ben is a delight to work with. He's very patient, professional, comforting and helpful. He spared no effort to get me approved with the bank. It took a couple of days to gather all the paperwork I needed and get my leased approved. During this short period of time, Ben and Mehdi kept me updated daily. Finally last Wednesday, I have been able to drive my brand new Civic EX out of the lot. And I have to say, I love my Civic! I would sincerely like to thank Mehdi, Ben and Honda of New Rochelle for making my dream come true. More

Honda of New Rochelle is the worse dealership in the area. Don’t get deceived with the good reviews. Actually read the bad ones. Horrible communication, they lie and don’t follow up after they ge in the area. Don’t get deceived with the good reviews. Actually read the bad ones. Horrible communication, they lie and don’t follow up after they get your business. My car buying experience with Honda of New Rochelle has turned out to be a nightmare. The fact that I even contacted Honda Headquarters and they didn’t do anything about my situation, says a lot about this brand. My conclusion is that Honda doesn’t care to be represented by this kind of dealership. After reading the bad reviews, kind of late, I can see that it is common practice for Honda of New Rochelle to lie to customers and to no follow up or respond to their concerns. They don’t give a crap starting from the so called “manager”, Ritesh Patel, thus the staff follow his lead. Some background: I bought the 2018 CRV-EX on Wednesday, 11/22/17 and picked it up Friday, 11/24/17 with the understanding that I have to go back to get the door edges installed as they didn’t have it in stock. Moreover, the Sales Consultant Ben Thomas, ran my credit with Capital One without my authorization. I received a credit alert and I called him to confirm this inquiry. He had the nerve to lie when questioned and told me to dispute it because he didn’t run it. I went to the hassle of contacting Capital One to be informed that actually BEN THOMAS from Honda of New Rochelle submitted the inquiry. At this point I am beyond frustrated and I texted, emailed, left voice messages and even spoke to the receptionist and explained the situation to no avail. Finally on 12/14/17 after I reported them to Honda Headquarters, the door edges were installed and the so called manager called me to supposedly rectify the situation. At that moment, I asked him to take care of the inquiry because that was my main issue. To this date, no one has contacted me or followed up. It took me so long to write this review because I was trying to resolve the situation with them directly (including American Honda Motor Co., Inc.), but I see that the dealer only react when the negative reviews are posted. So, PLEASE BE AWARE; take your business elsewhere!!! More

Above and beyond customer service & experience! I have witnessed many car buying/leasing experiences, and was always disappointed. Sales people always hyping up a sale and at the end wasting a custo I have witnessed many car buying/leasing experiences, and was always disappointed. Sales people always hyping up a sale and at the end wasting a customers time and never working through a customers issues. THIS WAS NOT MY CASE. Between Ivan and Ben I felt genuine concern and specific attention to my needs, my time, my circumstances and ultimately helping me get the car I needed within my budget. And going above and beyond me driving away with it, still working on my case getting me an even better deal. Ben, Ivan I humbly thank you for everything you guys did and working around my crazy schedule to make this happen for me. I urge any first time buyer to reach out to Ivan and Ben. Truly awesome people, thanks guys! More
