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!

She was always patient with us and and had good advice for us in our stressed and pain filled state. After our decision was made she ordered the vehicle and it was ready and waiting on time for the next day's appointment. All paperwork was done and she is very knowledgeable about Hondas. Very smooth transaction. 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

Great service, Svetlana and eveyone always willing to help. Svetlana was the first one I spoke to about getting the 2018 Honda Civic Type R I've been wanting. She was super friendly throughout and answered any Svetlana was the first one I spoke to about getting the 2018 Honda Civic Type R I've been wanting. She was super friendly throughout and answered any questions I had or information I needed. She's very genuine and wants to her clients with whatever she can. Great and genuine salesperson !! I wanted to also include Paul Ciardiello in this, Two weeks after getting the car, my Type R keys had been misplaced and had to get new ones. I went in thinking I'd had to spend a bunch of money on new ones but Paul went out of his way and got me new ones at no charge. Amazing !! More

Chris Tara-Browne @ Manley Honda is awesome!! We recently purchased a 2018 Honda CRV from Chris Tara-Browne at Manley Honda in Santa Rosa. Chris was great to work with! He was very responsive, but We recently purchased a 2018 Honda CRV from Chris Tara-Browne at Manley Honda in Santa Rosa. Chris was great to work with! He was very responsive, but not pushy. We did most of our communication on the phone and through email - which worked great for us since I’m busy with work and family. Overall great experience, we love the car and Chris was so great to work with. Ask for him he can help with all car needs :) More

Great deal and great service We had a great experience at Manly. We saw a car online and went in to specifically see that one. Svetlana Tara-Browne helped us and she was fantastic We had a great experience at Manly. We saw a car online and went in to specifically see that one. Svetlana Tara-Browne helped us and she was fantastic-a super nice person and not like a typical car sales person. She listened to us, worked us through the process efficiently, and we were done in 3.5 hours - that was with getting financing, too. It never felt rushed either. It was priced below Blue Book so we were very happy with the deal. Various people there spoke very highly of the Manly family and their ethics. It made us feel like this was a great spot to go. They also apparently sold the first Honda in CA. It's in their showroom, it's like a 1971. We will definitely go back when we need to replace our other car. More
