PURCHASED 2012 CIVIC LX. FILLED OUT PAPERWORK DAY BEFORE PICKING CAR UP. ASKED 3 TIMES ABOUT MILEAGE AND WAS TOLD THE CAR IS NEW, HOW MANY MILES COULD BE ON IT. WE PICKED CAR UP THE NEXT DAY,THE PAPERWORK N PICKING CAR UP. ASKED 3 TIMES ABOUT MILEAGE AND WAS TOLD THE CAR IS NEW, HOW MANY MILES COULD BE ON IT. WE PICKED CAR UP THE NEXT DAY,THE PAPERWORK NOTED ONLY 7 MILES ON CAR. FRANK (SALESMAN) NEVER STARTED CAR TO SHOW MILEAGE, BUT WENT THRU ALL IT'S OPTIONS. ONCE WE DROVE AWAY, WE NOTICED THE ODOMETER ACTUALLY SHOWED 59 MILES !!!!!. WE HAD OUR INTOLERANT GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR AND HAD TO GET THEM HOME ( 45 MILES AWAY). ONCE HOME, WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED FRANK AND QUESTIONED THE MILEAGE, HIS RESPONSE WAS, " OH YEAH, I NOTICED THAT ALSO, BUT DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A BIG DEAL. HE DIDN'T OFFER AN APOLOGY, OR RESOLUTION AT THAT POINT. I TOLD HIM THAT I WANTED TO RETURN THE CAR AND THAT I WOULD RETURN WITHIN THE HOUR. THIS WAS THE ONLY CAR IN BLACK IN THE DEALERSHIP, AND I WANTED TO KEEP THE COLOR. AFTER 15 MINUTES I CALLED BACK AND ASKED FOR THE SALES MANAGER KEVIN. HE WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND COURTEOUS. WE EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO HIM AND HE WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE PAPERWORK SIGNED THE NIGHT BEFORE HAD THE 59 MILES RECORDED ON IT. WE EXPLAINED THAT THE SALES AGREEMENT COPY WE HAD, THE MILEAGE SECTION WAS BLANK. WE EXPLAINED TO KEVIN THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR SEEING THAT AND KEVIN ASSURED US THAT HE WOULDN'T HAVE SOLD US THE CAR LIKE THAT EITHER. HE ASSURED US THAT HE WOULD RECTIFY THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM AND OFFERED ANOTHER NEW CAR, OR MONETARY COMPENSATION TO KEEP THE CAR , WHICH WE AGREED. HE APOLOGIZED AGAIN REALIZING HOW FAR WE TRAVELED TO PURCHASE A CAR AT FRIENDLY. More
Everything about our experience with Frank was great. The one unpleasant aspect about the experience was that we were told that we had to speak to a sales manager (don't remember his name) and we had to wait one unpleasant aspect about the experience was that we were told that we had to speak to a sales manager (don't remember his name) and we had to wait a very long time-- 25 or 30 minutes-- before he came. Then he asked us some questions and disappeared for another 20 minutes. He finally came back and gave us some brief information about warranties. So we added about an hour onto our visit, just to get 5 minutes' worth of information, which was a bit frustrating. More
I was in contact regularly with Dana Newton, Internet Sales, regarding her SUVs and in particular the Highlander I ended up with. We chatted availability, trade, timing, etc. She was very helpful; she Sales, regarding her SUVs and in particular the Highlander I ended up with. We chatted availability, trade, timing, etc. She was very helpful; she asked me to swing by with my truck to have a look. I did. At the time, she was tied up with another customer and Bob took some time with me. Together, we discovered that my trade was not at all what was promised when I bought it in August 2009. I was disheartened; my trade value was way low. Bob took the time to explain why despite clearly knowing that the sale was gone. Given the rising fuel expense, I revisited the paperwork Bob had provided. I contacted the dealer from where I purchased the vehicle looking for answers and they never called/contacted me back. I revisited the website - the vehicle remained and the price went down. I called Bob and told him I needed better for my trade but understood he could not give me the world. He called me back with a better number, not much, but acceptable. Gathering the paperwork together took longer than I think should have at the end (once I was told it was ready and to come over) but all in all I had a good experience. As a Civic owner also, I will certainly consider Friendly when the time comes to replace it. More

I am rating my experience as 5's with the salesperson I had-ONLY. Brian Hartwell is an excellent and honest salesperson. If I had to rate the finance depertment it would be all 1"s. My experience was wi had-ONLY. Brian Hartwell is an excellent and honest salesperson. If I had to rate the finance depertment it would be all 1"s. My experience was with them (finance-Mike) was not a good one. I was waiting over two hours FROM 4PM-6:15PM to pick up my car. My salesperson had long finished going over he car, etc. but was waiting for finance. " they were backed up". I was rushed along by Mike.I told him I was not a 20 year old inexperienced person buying a car for the first time. Mike (finance) had appeared annoyed that I was questioning why my interest rate went from 5.9% the day before as quoted to 6.9%. He had little explaination. Only when I told him I was walking out of the showroom and the deal was off, did he go into his office and change it. "Friendly Honda" needs to take a close look at the operations and customer service of it's finance department. Although Mike appologized it appeared obligitory. My salesperson appologized several times and called the next day to appologize as well. He also suggested that I call the GM and share my concerns. My response would be that the GM should call ME!914-213-0618 More

I would like to thank Danielle Weibrecht for the extra time spent in helping my wife and I with our purchase. We are both satisfied and will recomend you dealership to others. Most of all, we will have them request Danielle. She was very honest, straight forward, and answered our questions and concerns with the car we purchased. So I hope she receives the credit for the sale of this car, with an equal share of the overall rating I am giving your dealership. Thank You John & Gabriele More
We had a great experience purchasing our new Accord.
