New purchase This is my 4th Honda from this dealership. I was in an accident when a deer hit my car right before Christmas. My CRV kept me safe and performed exact This is my 4th Honda from this dealership. I was in an accident when a deer hit my car right before Christmas. My CRV kept me safe and performed exactly like I was told it would. However, I needed another vehicle as mine was totaled. I knew that one phone call to Rick at Dover Honda that I'd have one less issue and another safe vehicle. When I walked in, i was greeted by Rick with a "glad you are okay". This place feels like family every time I go in. Rick is honest and kind and considerate. He listens to what my needs are and puts me in a vehicle accordingly. I also always see Chris and Sue who are on the sales team and always greet me happily. I cannot say enough about the service department as well. There are many places to purchase a new Honda but this company is by far the best in the area!! Thanks again Honda family and happy 2017!! Thanks to the CRV I am here to celebrate the holidays with my family!! More

Go2Paula I don't even know where to begin... Having not only seen how some dealerships operate behind the scenes, to the front lines of the car shopping/buying I don't even know where to begin... Having not only seen how some dealerships operate behind the scenes, to the front lines of the car shopping/buying experience from a customer perspective, Dover Honda is by far the most professional and up front dealership in New England. Not only do they make sure your expectations with the car, budget, and trust are met, but you can count on the staff to be there for you after the sale. They will follow up any questions, comments, or concerns and do their best to address any issues. The service department is very convenient with no appointment necessary for an oil change/ tire rotation! Walking into the dealership, you do not have the need to haggle on the used vehicles because the used car manager (Tony Khoury) sets the most aggressive pricing in NE (on QUALITY used vehicles), they will also honor any reasonable offer on a brand new Honda. As you can see from reviews below, many customers are pleased with the way Paula Redden conducts business. She will work tirelessly to not only make the sale, but more importantly have you leaving with a permanent smile on your face. Oh! And a new car! Paula is the most genuine and caring person you will meet and that is hard to come by. The sales managers most importantly, Bob Drake (Uncle Bob), will do whatever it takes to keep you coming back! I highly recommend seeing this dynamic duo at the dealership. Unlike most places though, if they are not there, you are still in good hands regardless. The reviews below speak for themselves... (of course you can't please everybody!) #Go2Paula !!! More

Exemplary customer service. Paula went absolutely above and beyond in customer service.

She listened, she was honest, attentive and we didn't feel pressured, rushed or, most importantly, disrespected like we did the night before at another Honda dealership. We told her what we were looking for and we sincerely felt appreciated and valued as a customer. Tony was great as well--we had a trade in and he made sure we understood everything clearly. He gave us succinct answers to questions that had previously gone unanswered. Sarah was terrific with the final paperwork and financing. She made everything easy and quick. We could not be happier with the results of our experience at Dover Honda. Thank you so much--your entire team was fantastic! More

A great team makes for a relaxed sale We just bought our second Honda from Dover Honda. Both in 2013 and today, we got instant communication and a great price. More importantly, we were im We just bought our second Honda from Dover Honda. Both in 2013 and today, we got instant communication and a great price. More importantly, we were impressed by the professionalism and team effort of everyone we dealt with. Rick Stern and Heidi Gates like their jobs, treat you with friendship and respect, and take the stress out of buying a new car. And they are there after the sale too. We were having trouble finding someone to adapt my wife's new car quickly. Rick connected us with a mobility specialist, and the car was adapted two days later. It's this kind of knowledge and extra effort that make Dover exceptional. More

The opposite of the stereotypical car purchase A relaxed, non assertive,comfortable car buying experience.

Bob, the sales manager was very help This is my third Honda from Dover Honda and I was very pleased with the experience. The transaction was seamless! Bob, the sales manager was very helpful and kind to let me use a rental for a couple of days until they could locate my new vehicle. Devyn helped me decide on the color and Paula did an excellent job processing my paperwork and go through the new features on the new Accord on the delivery day. I want to thank everyone at the dealership that help with the purchase. More

Simply outstanding dealership! I purchased a certified pre-owned accord coupe over the phone, and my buying experience couldn't have been better. I was deployed in Afghanistan when I purchased a certified pre-owned accord coupe over the phone, and my buying experience couldn't have been better. I was deployed in Afghanistan when I saw the car, it was the best deal I could find and I was pretty much searching across the country. The sales folks at Dover really accommodated me and even stored the car for a couple of months until I got back! They were all professional, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. Couldn't have had a better buying experience, when I picked up the car it wa prepped like a brand new car, ant it only took a few minutes to complete the paperwork. These guys are great! More
