Great customer service Great sense of humor and a pleasure to do business with. Car buying experience was quick and easy. Seriously! Only took 2.5 hours in the dealership. B Great sense of humor and a pleasure to do business with. Car buying experience was quick and easy. Seriously! Only took 2.5 hours in the dealership. Beejan was a great example of how anyone can afford a new car. Chris from internet sales was amazing as well. Chris called 20mins after I applied for the vehicle online. 2 phone calls and 30mins later I was approved and ready to pick up my new vehicle. All said and done, I drove away in my new SUV after only 3 hours. Highly recommend Manly Honda, Chris Tara-Browne, and Beejan Roohian. Thanks guys!! More

When I found that the EX (one model higher than the LX) was a better fit, they worked with me to figure out how to make the EX affordable for me. Juan was a gem to work with. While he was pretty new to the job when I worked with him, he showed drive to do his best and better himself. Best of luck to him. More

A better experience after dealing with the GSM Paul We purchased a Honda HRV and did not have a good experience with the sales person.

I complained and was contacted by the GSM-Paul Who offered to deliver a loaner vehicle and fix any and all issues we had (cracked window, broken mirror housing, bad remote batteries, centers consol cover). GSM Paul had the car picked up on Monday and returned on Wednesday in perfect condition. I believe that GSM-Paul values customer service and took my feedback seriously. It is my sincere hope that training takes place with staff as how to interact with customers and also be sensitive to customers that state they have a disability. This was our families 5th vehicle from manly Homda. I will return but armesnwith thenknowledge that I need a sales person that wants to make sure things are right from the starry. Also when the vehicle was being repaired I was updated personally by the parts / repair department (Ted) and they were outstanding in keeping me in the loop. I had left a disability stability device in the loaner vehicle and Paul had it mailed to me right away.....fantastic. Thanks Paul for saving this vehicle transaction and for caring enough about Manly Customers More

Outstanding Customer Service Svetlana Tara-Brown and everyone at Manly Honda worked very hard to get the model, in our favorite color, with all the features that we wanted. She to Svetlana Tara-Brown and everyone at Manly Honda worked very hard to get the model, in our favorite color, with all the features that we wanted. She took the time to let us test drive several models and we did not feel any pressure to get the more expensive model. She also helped us stay with-in our budget. If you want to feel confident that someone will work with you to get what you want, without a lot of pressure--this is your salesperson. We couldn't be happier! The next car we buy will be from Manly for sure! Thank you Svetlana! Thank you Manly Honda! More

He helped us with his knowledge and Patience which we think is lacking in this business. This was our fourth new Honda that we've bought over the years and the second that we've bought from Manly. We've always had a good experience with Honda and Manly but Chris and his wife Sveta (part two of the duo)really made this a pleasant buying experience. CALL Chris he will give you a GREAT deal and his wife Sveta will keep you engaged during the boring financing wait. More
