Went out of their way to track down the car Due to a recent flood at their engine and transmission plant in Mexico which caused an extended interruption in production, the Honda Fit model and co Due to a recent flood at their engine and transmission plant in Mexico which caused an extended interruption in production, the Honda Fit model and color which we had requested was difficult to locate. Kurt Miller and Chris Tara-Browne basically scoured all of Northern California to locate the one remaining car which fit out parameters. Not only did they locate it, but had it delivered on a timely basis. Truly good service during this time of year. Rosa Chavez was efficient and knew her documentation. In addition, we left a set of keys in our old car and Chris Tara-Browne was kind enough to search the car and retrieve the keys. Truly service above expectations. Thanks a lot to the Manly crew, Kurt and Chris! More

A car buying experience that was actually pleasant! Chris was amazing to work with. We were shopping from hundreds of miles away, but Chris was always attentive and easy going, getting back to my numero Chris was amazing to work with. We were shopping from hundreds of miles away, but Chris was always attentive and easy going, getting back to my numerous emails right away, so I had a good feeling about him. When we actually arrived at the dealership, there were no unpleasant surprises, and Chris was even friendlier and more accommodating than we could have imagined. My wife and I remarked to each other (and later to Chris) that the whole experience was unlike any previous car purchases--totally free of stress and hype! More

I am very happy with my experiences at Manly Honda. I received outstanding service from Chris, his sales manager, and the finance department. Manly offered me good value for the price of the car, a fair offer for my trade-in, and a smooth process to complete the sale. More

Great Experience! We lucked out that Chris Tara-Browne happened to be the one to call us back when we inquired online about one of the Hondas. He was quick, information We lucked out that Chris Tara-Browne happened to be the one to call us back when we inquired online about one of the Hondas. He was quick, informational, and gave us a deal that was unbeatable. It was a price we could not pass up. He gave us our space but was there when I needed him. Never once did we feel pressured or rushed by Chris. He was very professional, yet friendly and down to earth. When I let him know we were ready to buy, he jumped to it, got the car we wanted and had it ready for us within two days. He even offered to have it delivered to our home 4 hours away. We ended up going there and picking it up. It was a quick process and we were out of there quickly. Our experience was so pleasant that we will definitely be returning to Manly Honda and buying more cars here. Thank you, Chris! More
