Will keep coming back When I bought my Pilot in 2003, I knew I found a great dealership. It took 12 years to return to purchase the family's 2nd Honda when my teenage son When I bought my Pilot in 2003, I knew I found a great dealership. It took 12 years to return to purchase the family's 2nd Honda when my teenage son purchased a preowned Civic. It was only natural when I was once again looking for a new car that is return. Couldn't be happier with my new Civic. The sales team is super helpful, honest and easy to work with. Additionally, the service staff is also great! I never feel like they are trying to "up" sell me. car dealerships have a horrible reputation for these tactics. I'll be back! More

The dealership was very busy when I arrived, I was greeted by a nice man that quickly paired me up with Tom a senior sales consultant. Tom asked which models and colors I wanted and quickly located a white one with everything I asked for.took a test drive and fell in love with the car, I ultimately decided to go with the black. The process was pretty effecient and relatively painless, not always the case when buying a new car. Steve one of the business managers handled the paperwork, Steve went as far as getting me a better interest rate and a little lower monthly payment. My car was ready by the time the paperwork was done, Tom handled explaining the details of the car, how to set the radio, pair the phone, lights, signals, gas, etc. Tom noticed a few spots on the car, so insisted we take it back to deluxing and have them make it perfect. A full tank of gas and paymemts not due for 45 days, I'm a happy guy. Now i just have to keep it clean. More

Wonderful Experience Getting my Dream Car! We are new to the North Bay area, and were in the market for a new car. We have been fans of Honda vehicles, so it was a natural choice to stop by thi We are new to the North Bay area, and were in the market for a new car. We have been fans of Honda vehicles, so it was a natural choice to stop by this dealership. From beginning to end, our salesman Chris Tara-Brown was very helpful, patient and knowledgeable; which really helped our purchase go as smooth as possible. On the finance department, Thomas Henschel, was fantastic! He went above and beyond when it came to finalizing the deal and setting up our loan with our bank. Lastly, Jesse Broadway also stepped in to help briefly during the last part of the process. All in all, we are very pleased with our purchase and Manly Honda's fantastic staff. More

No Pressure sales and a very enjoyable buying experience! We did our research for our new vehicle. We checked the Honda web site and found exactly what we wanted. There are two dealers in our area and one was We did our research for our new vehicle. We checked the Honda web site and found exactly what we wanted. There are two dealers in our area and one was close to our home. We have many friends that have purchased vehicles from this dealer and they all were very pleased with their buying experience. We worked with Christopher Tara-Brown for our purchase. We emailed Christopher and he emailed right back with our special internet price. No haggling on the price needed! We set up our appointment on July 4th and felt very comfortable with Christopher. He guided us through our purchasing decisions so we would get exactly what we wanted. Our vehicle was shipped to Manly and we could not be happier with our purchase. Our new CR-V Touring is just beautiful. Christopher took the time to go through all of the features before we took delivery. He even helped us sync our phones to our new CR-V Touring! Christopher took the time to return our emails when we had questions or wanted updates. Great service! We also worked with Michael P. Warren to wrap up all of the details with our trade, licensing and warranty. Micheal took the time to explain everything. He wanted to make sure that we purchased what we needed not just what they were selling. A customized plan. We again felt very comfortable with his guidance. We are very pleased with Michael's help! He has told us to call him personally if we have any questions or issues. He is the business manager and takes care of Business! Michael is a seasoned professional with over thirty tears of experience. We will have Manly do all of our service! Chris Foy was very pleasant to work with. I stopped by to see where are our CR-V Touring was in it's journey to Santa Rosa, CA. Our vehicle had in fact arrived and he got the wheels rolling to get it ready for delivery. We appreciated his help! Paul Constancio is the Detail Supervisor. Our New CR-V Touring was professionally detailed and treated with Zurich Shield to protect all of the paint and interior areas. Our CR-V Touring is glowing and very beautiful! Pride of workmanship has not gone unnoticed! We again are very pleased with our purchase and level of Customer Service. This dealership is one of the first Honda Dealerships in the USA. Every employee that we had contact with was friendly and ready to take care of business. I believe they're creating customers for life with this level of Customer Service. They have succeeded! We will be back and tell our friends about our great buying experience at Manly. There is no try, Do or Do not! Yoda More
