UPDATE: After writing my first review, I was promptly contacted by a member of the customer service team. They provided me with a name and number to discuss my experience with the salesman, Raj, and expl contacted by a member of the customer service team. They provided me with a name and number to discuss my experience with the salesman, Raj, and explore possible solutions. I was connected with Kao, the manager, who was incredibly understanding and helpful over the phone. He sincerely apologized for the situation, emphasized their commitment to excellent customer service, and assured me they would address the matter internally. True to his word, I noticed a positive change in Raj’s attitude when I returned to pick up the car. Kao then generously offered to renegotiate the deal for the car I was interested in, and he gave me a fantastic offer! The next day, I came in to complete the paperwork, where I had the pleasure of working with Haig. He is truly a role model for car salesmen—an engaging conversationalist and a genuine car enthusiast. We had a great time talking about cars and motorsports for an extra 45 minutes! After Haig assisted us, we finalized the deal with Kao, who, to my surprise, is also a motorsports fan. Overall, if it weren’t for Kao and Haig, I don’t think I would have returned to this dealership, but thanks to their outstanding service, they completely changed my experience for the better. Huge thanks to both of them for going above and beyond! More
I don’t typically write reviews, but my experience at this dealership, specifically with Raj, left me no choice. I called about a vehicle and spoke to Raj over the phone. He was polite, answered my quest this dealership, specifically with Raj, left me no choice. I called about a vehicle and spoke to Raj over the phone. He was polite, answered my questions effortlessly, and seemed like someone I’d enjoy working with. However, my in-person experience with him couldn’t have been more different. When I arrived to check out the car, Raj didn’t bother showing me the vehicle or taking me on a test drive. Instead, he had an associate handle it. The associate was great—informative, kind, and helpful. By the time we returned, I was sold on the car and excited to finalize the deal with Raj. But once we sat down at his desk, everything went downhill. Raj was skittish, avoided eye contact, and seemed uninterested in closing the deal. He presented a price that included an extra $5k for a warranty I didn’t want. After I declined the warranty, he gave me another price that was still too high. When I brought this up, he challenged me to find a lower-priced listing for the same car in the area and said he’d match it. I found a listing and showed it to him, but instead of negotiating, Raj disappeared for 15 minutes, came back, and told me to buy the car from the other dealership. Not once, but five times during the conversation, he insisted I should go elsewhere. He spoke over me constantly, refusing to let me finish a sentence. I had made it clear I was ready to buy and wanted to make a deal, but Raj responded by dismissing me, and refusing to take me seriously. At the end of the conversation, I directly asked him, “Do you want to make a sale today?” He flat-out said, “No, I don’t want to make a sale today,” then crumpled all the paperwork, stood up, and stormed off like a child, leaving me sitting at his desk in disbelief. I only encountered one other associate here who was truly kind, informative, and a great conversationalist. Unfortunately, Raj is the complete opposite. I’ve never met a sales associate so unprofessional—he outright told me to go to another dealership and made it clear he had no interest in helping me. Whoever manages this place should seriously reconsider keeping him on staff. The negative reviews about him here seem to paint an accurate picture. All in all If you’re considering this dealership, do yourself a favor and avoid Raj entirely. He’s unprofessional, rude, and completely lacks the qualities of a good sales associate. He gave me the impression of being an older man with the attitude of an immature high schooler and showed nothing but disrespect. My experience was an absolute waste of time. More
I cannot express enough how delighted I am with the exceptional service provided by Raj during my recent car purchase. From the moment I stepped into the dealership, he greeted me with a warm and frien exceptional service provided by Raj during my recent car purchase. From the moment I stepped into the dealership, he greeted me with a warm and friendly demeanor, making me feel instantly comfortable. What truly stood out about Raj was his unwavering patience throughout the entire process. He never once pressured me into making a decision, allowing me to take my time to explore and test the vehicle multiple times to make sure it is the right one for me. His genuine interest in understanding my needs and preferences made the whole experience truly personalized and enjoyable. But Raj's dedication didn't stop there. When it came to negotiating the deal, he proved himself to be a fierce advocate for his customers. He went above and beyond to secure the best possible deal for me, making me feel like he was genuinely invested in my satisfaction. I was particularly impressed by Raj's commitment to customer service when he voluntarily stayed after hours with me to finalize all the paperwork. He demonstrated a level of dedication that is rare to find in today's fast-paced world, and it left a lasting impression on me. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend this dealership to anyone in the market for a car. And if you want a truly exceptional experience, look no further than Raj. His professionalism, sincerity, and willingness to go the extra mile make him the ultimate car salesman to work with. Thank you, Raj, for making my car-buying journey an absolute pleasure. You have earned a loyal customer, and I will be sure to spread the word to friends and family seeking a remarkable car-buying experience. More
I'm crestfallen. I've used Hopkins Acura since I moved to the Bay Area in 2011. I have always written glowing reviews over the years. Terry Clark was an amazing custo I've used Hopkins Acura since I moved to the Bay Area in 2011. I have always written glowing reviews over the years. Terry Clark was an amazing customer service representative. Terry always gave it to me straight. I felt taken care of. I felt special. Terry Clark serviced my 2001 CL TypeS and my 2003 CL-Type S. He's the reason I bought my 2007 TL- Type S from Hopkins Acura. I trusted Terry implicitly. It's odd how all those years of regular visits mean so little to the current representative named Frankie. Terry Clark is not at Hopkins currently. I've dealt with Frankie for more than a year under Terry's watchful eye. I'm assuming with Terry gone he considered me an easy target. I needed another key made for my car. He disappeared for awhile and when he returned from the parts area, he mournfully advised me it would be more than $800. I could tell in his body language and the way he was talking to me something wasn't right. Something was amiss. You can feel the air go out of the room. $800 seemed like a high price. I called AutoNation on Stevens Creek and asked for the parts department. They told me the key was $199. There's a charge of $140 for programming. That's a difference of $450-$500 when all is said and done. It's Christmas time. Ugh. Made me feel like I was being taken advantage of. Such a horrible feeling when you've come to trust and believe in an organization. I wanted to talk to Frankie so I could ask him questions. I want to give Hopkins an opportunity to explain. Could just be a misunderstanding? Who knows unless I try? Right? Well, I did. I initially called him back that same day to let him know I would be cancelling my appointment. He laughed me off. Acted like it was no big deal. My call lost signal and I tried calling back. I have left two messages with a female receptionist and he never returned my calls. I am assuming that is my answer. That day I had brought a box of donuts from Chuck's Donuts in RWC. I wanted to share something with the guys since it is Christmas and they have taken such good care of my baby over the years. To think of how he acted sorry that it was $800, makes me feel foolish. My face blushes and burns hot from the embarrassment of being taken by someone I considered a friend. Saddened. More
Hopkins Acura had the used vehicle I was looking for at an excellent overall price and value. I came in already knowing the vehicle and what I was willing to pay, but they made the test drive and negotiati an excellent overall price and value. I came in already knowing the vehicle and what I was willing to pay, but they made the test drive and negotiation process painless and smooth every step of the way. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a fair deal on a new or used vehicle! More
In short, we were told a car would be ours, when, in fact, the salesman had us wait nearby, while he sold the car to another customer. We found this to be manipulative and duplicitous.

Service people are not honest and tell you upfront that their warranties are as good as your miles, they try to find any conceivable excuse not to honor their parts. Bought tires and they said they don't warrant their tires if something goes wrong you need to go directly to the company. That sucks because if I knew that I would had bought my tires at Costco or any other tire company that guarantee the product. Their are not sympathetic about the situation and you feel they are laughing in your face. Too bad I already spent like $10,000 in services there. More

BEWARE!!!! DEALERSHIP KNOWN FOR FALSE PROMISES! I did a recent shopping with Hopkins Acura Redwood City. I had a RDX lease ending and wanted to get into a new TLX lease. My RDX had little over mil I did a recent shopping with Hopkins Acura Redwood City. I had a RDX lease ending and wanted to get into a new TLX lease. My RDX had little over mileage than what I'm supposed to use. Pablo was the sales guy who helped me in choosing the car and take care of all lease closure formalities. And the drama happened, He promised me taking care of the over usage charges which I have to pay to Acura instead he asked me to take the Paint and Glass protection for 3 years. I agreed and went with the sale. Couple of months passed, no update on closing my existing lease account, when I reached out to Pablo, he put the blame on Covid and said he will check with the management on what's going on. While all this happening, Acura Financial reported the outstanding amount to collection agency and my credit dropped by 45 points. Pablo came back saying I would need to pay the outstanding amount to Acura Financial and dealership can do nothing. I asked him to cancel the protection which I took, but he refused saying it's all applied to the car and can't do anything. I tried to talk to the manager Jeff but he didn't had time to listen to and handed over to Pablo again, who is giving all false statements. Infact this is my 3rd car with the same dealership. First 2 times Shannon was helping me out and such a great human, He is not in the dealership anymore. I would never recommend this dealership to anyone! More

Hopkins May have won back a customer. More
