Great treatment Chris was very attentive and helped me find the right car for my family. I've been leasing cars for many years so I know how long the process usual Chris was very attentive and helped me find the right car for my family. I've been leasing cars for many years so I know how long the process usually takes. Chris really knows his stuff. This was one of the most efficient car leasing experiences I've had. Chris is a great communicator. He kept me informed of what was happening. He explained everything up front. We looked at the high end of my budget and then got to the right place for my budget. Chris was patient and attentive. I had no feelings of being pressured. The whole team was attentive and helpful. Great experience. More

Manly Honda * Chris T-Brown are both tops This was our first visit to Manly Honda and we were Very pleased with the way we were treated.

We were looking online for a CRV; Chris responded immediately and answered a few of our questions online. We decided to drive to Santa Rosa and meet with Chris personally and were glad that we did. We thought we would get a 2018 car, but Chris gave us a good price for a 2019 CRV and we are drove home with a beautiful new car. We traded in my 7 year old Camry and received a fair price. We were with Chris for several hours and feel we were lucky to be connected to the right sales person! He is very personable and also knows the cars he sells inside and out. Paul in finance was so easy to be with; everything went very smoothly. More

Great service with a bit of a wait and disorganized cashier The service person was very pleasant and and a very informative. I had an appointment but I still waited well past my appointment time to be called up The service person was very pleasant and and a very informative. I had an appointment but I still waited well past my appointment time to be called up to the desk.... and it was early in the morning. The actual service done was excellent and ready on time. The cashier was trying to do three things at one time, which came across as unprofessional. Over all, I was pleased with the service done. In terms of the sales side, Chris T-Browne did an outstanding job as did Paul. They were great to work with. More

Top-Notch Dealership I had a great experience with Manly Honda and specifically my salesperson Chris Tara-Browne. I came in seeking a larger car than my sedan for my two k I had a great experience with Manly Honda and specifically my salesperson Chris Tara-Browne. I came in seeking a larger car than my sedan for my two kids. I originally wanted a Honda HRV but as soon as I sat in it I immediately found out it was too small. So, Chris let me test drive a CRV and I fell in LOVE! Chris was extremely knowledgeable, professional, personable, and helpful. He got me the exact model, color, and trim I wanted for the CRV and worked with me to get me a good deal. I can honestly say this is the first dealership I’ve been to where they’re not trying to rip you off. All the staff greeted me and were very friendly. The dealership had refreshments (and fresh COOKIES!) and a comfortable waiting area. They made me feel right at home at Manly Honda. A+++ More

A cheerful car-buying experience Chris Tara-Browne was an excellent sales person for our transaction. Open and engaging, he eliminated the negativity of past car-buying experiences wi Chris Tara-Browne was an excellent sales person for our transaction. Open and engaging, he eliminated the negativity of past car-buying experiences within the first 10 seconds. He was responsive and honest to questions, and although extremely busy, juggling several waiting customers and tasks, he never lost his geniality, enthusiasm or commitment to his customer. Well done. Our finance manager was also excellent, using conversation and humor to make that process seem to go quickly. Unfortunately I don’t see his name in the check-off. Thanks, Manly for an excellent experience. More
