Great experience! Chris Tara-Browne was an excellent salesman to work with. When I arrived at the dealership, I expected a less than favorable experience- however, it w Chris Tara-Browne was an excellent salesman to work with. When I arrived at the dealership, I expected a less than favorable experience- however, it was quite the opposite. Chris allowed me to express exactly what I was in search of without the typical hassles or pressures car buyers usually expect. He was very kind and considerate, as well as funny and easy going. Chris was respectful of my time and worked diligently to make the transaction as efficient and painless as possible. I would definitely buy a car from Chris again! More

Chris' expertise & easy going manner were key I knew I wanted a Clarity but didn't think I could afford it. However, given that Chris was so very generous with his time, knowledge and general good I knew I wanted a Clarity but didn't think I could afford it. However, given that Chris was so very generous with his time, knowledge and general good will, he, with a bit of back up from the crew at Manly, worked to get me exactly the 2018 Clarity I'd set out to drive away in - THE 'green' car of the year. I'm over the moon with the car, yes, but the experience of buying it, usually a laborious pain in the ___ was actually a pleasure, all due to Chris' easy but very efficient manner. From the first meeting to the last, he was responsive and thorough, even calling in from home while sick. Thank you Chris, I'm sincerely grateful... To finish it all off, Sean in financing was exceptionally helpful and even offered a complimentary 'icing on the cake'; they both worked late into a Friday night, nearly past 10:00pm, to close the place with my paperwork completed. Again, miles of thanks~ More

He was very responsive, but We recently purchased a 2018 Honda CRV from Chris Tara-Browne at Manley Honda in Santa Rosa. Chris was great to work with! He was very responsive, but not pushy. We did most of our communication on the phone and through email - which worked great for us since I’m busy with work and family. Overall great experience, we love the car and Chris was so great to work with. Ask for him he can help with all car needs :) More

Love Honda I am a Honda person, I currently have an 07 Honda Pilot that I LOVE, but I needed an additional work commuter car, I came in to lease a vehicle, and I I am a Honda person, I currently have an 07 Honda Pilot that I LOVE, but I needed an additional work commuter car, I came in to lease a vehicle, and I am not the easiest person always, I do my research, and I know what I am willing to pay. I do not do the whole "let me check with my back guy", Chris Tara Browne was very knowledgeable on the vehicles and worked with me to get the price that I needed to stay within. Tom came over on my final trip in when I was ready to sign, and I loved his, "let's make this work for her!" Dave in finance was fantastic, and explained the benefits in added options. I have always had great service there, and will continue to go back when needed! More
