Manly Honda responded

Hello, Tom Henschel, Finance Director here, I am embarrassed that you feel negative about your purchase at our dealership. I am so sorry about your less than five star experience with our Honda dealership. As the first Honda Car dealership in America opening in 1970 our team has always been proud of the depth of our owner base and our successful goal of making our customers happy with their sales and service experience. We all work hard to have a 5 star rating but sometimes we miss the mark and for that you have my apologizes. I am sorry we let you down. As you might see if you look at the over 5000 reviews for Manly Honda most of our customers are very satisfied with us and we work hard for those with issues to earn a better rating. Wither it's a $30,000 car investment or a $30.00 part from my parts department we work hard at training my team members to be respectful and honest. I'm again sorry that we only measured up to a 1 star dealer for you but am most sorry that you have negative feelings about doing business with our team. If there is something I can do to repair what damage was caused please reach out to me. Thank you for your business, Tom Henschel 707-535-1168

Manly Honda responded

Hello, Tim Dang here. Thank you for your business and kind review. As you might realize with our avg. ratings at 4.8 for the thousands of reviews we receive, any review less than 5 stars is always on my mind. My personal business goal is to have Manly Honda a 5.0 rating at the end of 2019. How could we have been a 5 star dealer in your mind and built more value into the price so that the "pricing question" would of received 5 stars? I like to reach out to less than 5 star customers in hopes to communicate my desires to do better in everything we do , to correct any issues and possibly have reviews edited to the more positive. I strive for five in everything we do. Thanks you for your time Tim Dang Sales Manager 707-542-5377
