Mena Karas

I was looking at a 2023 Honda Acoord Hybrid in Janaury 2026. I found one close to the price I wanted to spend and went to look at it. Joseph Grzelak was my salesman and he was awesome. He knew the vehicle 2026. I found one close to the price I wanted to spend and went to look at it. Joseph Grzelak was my salesman and he was awesome. He knew the vehicle well and showed me the important features. During the test drive he exlpained how to get the most fuel effeciuency out of the vehicle. Then it came to dealing. I refused to pay for their $1200 anti-theft, and ended up postponing the deal. Then Joseph told me not to leave and had me wait at the front door because the sales manager, Mena Karas, wanted to speak to me. Mena came up, shook my hand, dropped the offer on the counter and said "Lets make a deal." So I was open to it and asked him to "deal." He pushed that he already made a deal by removing the anti-theft/tracking fee and my rebuttle was that it is not my responsibility to pay for their security... also, I said what "deal" is he trying to make since he won't even take a penny off of the price of a 3 year old vehicle that they bought from auction. They also never provided me with service records, carfax, etc. Come to find out, that same vehicle has been for sale since Sept 2025 at the previous dealership and since Dec 5, 2025, at Bill Kay Honda. Mena Karas refused to hear anymore and, I was more than appalled at his arrogant behavior. So I turned to the salesman, Joe, and told him his manager just lost him a sale and customer. As I was walking out, my conversation with Mena got a little heated as the SALES MANAGER told me to leave and not come back. I had my words back for him too, NGL lol. So I won't be. As much as I liked that car, the market at this time of posting is flooded with Accords. I'll find mine elsewhere. More
