Costco representative. I love to provide the best service you'll find to my clients! I love it when people consider me their car person and call me up with questions after they buy a car from me or send friends and family. I believe in being a consultant and customer service rep, not a salesperson! Contact me for a different experience buying a car!

Lease of a New '18 Pilot I recently got nowhere with another Honda dealership in the area and was told to go to Manly because they were the best. And yes they were! They wer I recently got nowhere with another Honda dealership in the area and was told to go to Manly because they were the best. And yes they were! They were able to stay in budget (never once told me I had to put more down or go over my monthly payment) and trade in my CRV for a great price! I was totally impressed with Manly Honda and will only use them for my car buying needs!!! More

Best car leasing experience ever In the past I've purchased Mercedes, Saabs and leased Hondas, but this last experience with Manly Honda was incredible, and by far the best car dealer In the past I've purchased Mercedes, Saabs and leased Hondas, but this last experience with Manly Honda was incredible, and by far the best car dealership I've ever dealt with. Svetlana Tara-Browne was amazing. She quoted me the best price of any dealer around (and I wasn't haggling), went over all the features of the car (she really knew her stuff), and saw to it that the deal was completed in the shortest amount of time. When I signed the contract, Began Roohian had all the papers ready for me.. It was all so easy, plus I love the Honda EXL Accord that I just drove home. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a Honda. My husband will be leasing his next Honda with Svetlana. She is the best car sales rep I've ever met. More

Internet sale with a personal touch Svetlana is a consumate professional who listens to her customer and delivers what has been promised. The vehicle we wanted was not in the dealer's i Svetlana is a consumate professional who listens to her customer and delivers what has been promised. The vehicle we wanted was not in the dealer's inventory and was difficult to find. Nevertheless, Sventlana found it without additional options to increase the price. From our initial test-drive to our afterthesale (getting to know your vehicle lesson) she was knowledgeable, pleasant, and patient. We couldn't have been treated any better. Neil was very helpful in directing us through the financial conudrum. We got more for our trade-in than we expected, good terms on the loan, and a workable monthly payment. More

No pressure, relaxed atmosphere, expert info My wife and I, we decided to trade-in our 2013 Lexus 200h for something with more cargo space and more spacious. After extensive research , we decide My wife and I, we decided to trade-in our 2013 Lexus 200h for something with more cargo space and more spacious. After extensive research , we decided to visit Manly's Honda in Santa Rosa. I made an appointed with a sales representative, Svetlana Tara-Browne on July 21. Svetlana turned out to be very attentive to our needs and made me feel that she was putting the customer ahead of everything else. She had a relaxed, soft spoken manner while being technological knowledgeable about CR-V models. She demonstrated all the interior gadgets with great skill and patience. Although, Manly inventory did not have the Basque Red available , she asked to give her till July 22. Svetlana call that evening to tell us that she found the right color at no extra cost, while other dealers that had this color available requested an extra $400. On July 22, on my wife's birthday we had the car ready.. During the paper work, she found, on her own initiative, how to reduce someof the costs. Everything was done to satisfy the customer. We left Manly very happy on a Basque Red Honda CR-V EXL. More
