My experience at Thomas Honda was very professional. I would recommend them to anyone. Samatha was down to earth and very helpful. I will ask for her the next time I buy a car. would recommend them to anyone. Samatha was down to earth and very helpful. I will ask for her the next time I buy a car. More
BUYER BEWARE I bought a used car from Thomas Honda and BUYER BEWARE I bought a used car from Thomas Honda and it was by far the worst car purchasing experience that I have ever had. The transaction, and BUYER BEWARE I bought a used car from Thomas Honda and it was by far the worst car purchasing experience that I have ever had. The transaction, and dealings afterward, were the epitome of a "used car dealer". I would make the following suggestions: 1. Simply put, check everything out on a used car and do not take for face value that it is represented that the dealership has done a "multi-point" inspection. If something is missed, and is not included in the 30 day/1000 mile warranty, it was my experience that Thomas Honda will not cover it. They are not obligated to do so, and will have no apparent desire to fix something that they should have fixed in the first place. As in my case, things as simple as tires that they say pass inspection because of tread depth and simply are noisy because of "aggressive tread" but upon inspection by a tire shop have been driven while out of alignment and are in need of replacement, or a bank of lights that illuminate all the climate control that you would presume are checked as part of a "multi-point inspection", are not going to be fixed by Thomas Honda unless you fork over the cash. Yes, it is a used car but I presumed that a dealership that prides itself on professionalism and the Honda name would be above reproach and not need to be subject to the same scrutiny you would have to give some fly-by-night outfit. I was wrong, learn from my mistake. 2. Communication-frankly, this was awful and should have been the first tip off that things with the dealership were sketchy. Emails unanswered for days, voicemail "screenings" of in-coming calls, asking if someone is in and being sent directly to voicemail without an answer-these should have clued me in how things are run here. Again, learn from my mistakes. Get it checked out if you do buy a used car here, but my better advice is to avoid this place if you can. The Honda product is outstanding, but the customer service and any goodwill are lacking from this dealership. There are better places to buy a used car. More
Samantha was extremely helpful, went out of her way to make sure we were being helped. Kept checking on the finance dept to see when they were ready to take us.

Offered to bring the car to a closer location for us, but as it turned out, we were able to get to Johnstown. Teri was very helpful in getting us financing and getting us on our way. We are quite satisfied so far, as long as the car keeps going as well as it is. More
We recently purchased a used Honda Oddyssey from this dealership and we had a fantastic experience. As this was our first experience purchasing a vehicle, my wife and I were both apprehensive. There was dealership and we had a fantastic experience. As this was our first experience purchasing a vehicle, my wife and I were both apprehensive. There was no reason to be. We worked with Randy and he was great. He very quickly calmed any of our apprehension by not being pushy or over the top. We even had our one year old daughter in with us and Randy had some toys he allowed her to play with to occupy herself. Not only did we have a great experience, but he also gave us a great deal for our trade, much more than we had found at other locations. Overall, it was a great experience, highly recommended. More

Samantha Orlando, Internet Sales Manager, went above & beyond to find me the car that I wanted. During my quest for a new car, Sam & I mostly communicated via email which worked out great for me because I have 2 small children and the phone isn't always an option. Let me just say that new silver 2011 Civic LX's are very hard to come by but she managed to find one at another dealer and had it transferred to the dealership for me. I LOVE my new car Sam! Thank you! Teri Pavlosky, Finance Manager, worked her magic and was able to get me the financing that I wanted through Honda. I have less-than-perfect credit so I'm sure that wasn't any easy thing to accomplish. She told me that she has only been with the dealership for 4 months but you would never know it. This lady knows her stuff when it comes to financing! Thank you for going to bat for me Teri! You're a sweetheart! I live about 80 miles away from Johnstown & it was well-worth the trip to purchase my Civic from Thomas Honda. Everyone I encountered was super nice. They make you feel like family the minute that you walk through the door. I LOVE my new Honda and will definitely be recommending Thomas Honda to all of my friends and family. Robin DuBois, PA More
John Magyar was very friendly and helpful in the purchase of my Accord. He took the time to explain the operation of the vehicle and answer any questions I had about the accesories. He was very accommodati of my Accord. He took the time to explain the operation of the vehicle and answer any questions I had about the accesories. He was very accommodating to my mother who is disabled. The closing of the deal was handled professionally and all questions answered. Additional items available, for purchase, were mentioned and examples shown - such as the interior/exteior protection. Mr. Magyar showed me the location and a quick inspection of the service department. More
This dealership had a promotion ($14.95) for oil change & filter. Although we own a 2011 Honda Civic, they honored the special for our 2006 Toyota Corolla. I think that other dealers would require that t & filter. Although we own a 2011 Honda Civic, they honored the special for our 2006 Toyota Corolla. I think that other dealers would require that the vehicle be one that was purchased from them. From the day (March 31) that we bought our Civic, Thomas Honda has gone beyond our expectations of an automobile dealer. We have, and will continue, to recommend them to our family & friends. I would also like to add that the showroom, customer waiting area & restroom were all very clean. These things are very important to customer satisfaction. More
The sales and finance process went as smooth as anyone could ask for. I showed up at the dealership on a work night at 6pm. I had done some internet shopping prior to being there but never called or wen could ask for. I showed up at the dealership on a work night at 6pm. I had done some internet shopping prior to being there but never called or went into the dealer until that night. I test drove the vehicle while the rest of the staff entertaned my kids and wife. I decided I wanted the vehicle and told Joe that I understand its almost closing time and I would pick the vehicle up tomorrow. He asked if I would like I could take car home tonight? I was sceptical because it was now aroung 7pm and the dealership was to close in a hour. He took my info and my and I went to dinner. Joe told me he would call me when all the paperwork was done. I figure the call would be to say it was a little to late and you could pick the car the next day. I did recieve that call about 15 til closing and took my car home that night. Each staff member stayed after hours to finalize my deal. Thanks to all at Thomas Honda for going the extra mile for me and my family. We love are new Honda Dick Burke Jr Johnstown PA More
Worked directly with Gary plus other people at Thomas. I can't say enough on how friendly they "all" were to us! It was a pleasure to buy from them! This is my first Honda and I know not my last!

A very enjoyable experience coming back to Honda. Randy was in no way pushy, yet he was knowledgeable and very helpful with the new car purchase. After driving a Toyota for the last several years, and Ac was in no way pushy, yet he was knowledgeable and very helpful with the new car purchase. After driving a Toyota for the last several years, and Accords prior to then, I'm thrilled to be back with Honda. I returned to Honda given its proven track record and overall look. I would recommend Thomas Honda. More
