Overall a friendly experience Chris is great. No pressure guy. If you use True car, you have a negotiated price before you go in.so no haggling. I would recommend Chris to anyone l Chris is great. No pressure guy. If you use True car, you have a negotiated price before you go in.so no haggling. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a Honda., just watch out for extras that the dealership throws out to you. Chris has nothing to do with this,, but most of the extras are overpriced.

Best deal and service I was looking for a Honda Accord for my family and came across a great deal. They were more competitive then the bigger dealers in San Francisco. I co I was looking for a Honda Accord for my family and came across a great deal. They were more competitive then the bigger dealers in San Francisco. I contacted Chris Tara-Browne my sales rep through the online sales department. I told him what I was looking for and even though they did not have it in stock, he found it at another dealer and brought it in at no extra charge. When I went in to finish the paper work and pick up the car I was in and out very quickly. No surprises on the price or the car. I would highly recommend Manly Honda and Chris to anyone looking for a great deal and outstanding service. Thank you, Guy More

So much fun!!! Our experience buying a new vehicle at manly Honda was by far our most pleasurable. I normally dread the experience so much that I usually let my wife Our experience buying a new vehicle at manly Honda was by far our most pleasurable. I normally dread the experience so much that I usually let my wife Betsy handle all the shopping and negotiating, then I would show up for the final paperwork. Not this time, Chris Tara-Browne not one time over a period of a month pressured me or made me feel uncomfortable shopping for a new car. Chris promptly answered all my many emails and respected my wishes not to be contacted by phone. Best yet; Chris delivered 100% on all details regarding our purchase down to the exact penny when turned over to the fiance department. That has never happen to us. Thank you Chris Tara-Browne and the Manly Honda team. Scott Boes More

Overall, a smooth used car purchase experience Visited the dealership specifically for a used Honda Civic. The sales people were helpful, not pushy, and did not feel rushed. They appeared to have Visited the dealership specifically for a used Honda Civic. The sales people were helpful, not pushy, and did not feel rushed. They appeared to have as much time as I needed for questions and looking. Of course any car purchase experience is SLOW, but they seemed to be making an effort to keep things moving. The finance person clearly explained everything while getting all the paperwork signed. More

Great dealership. Not great detailers. The detail on the car was not the best. I could have done a better job at home. There was water spots, streaks everywhere, and definitely scratches.
