I experienced of of worst. I finished deal with internet specialist for Honda CR-V. When I visited, they didn't honor the deal. At first they tried to disqualify me for the cash for clunker program with wro specialist for Honda CR-V. When I visited, they didn't honor the deal. At first they tried to disqualify me for the cash for clunker program with wrong information. They said that if I apply for cash for clunker, I will not get any discount. They said that they have trouble with government to get paid for clunker program. This dealership filled with liar. Don't waste your time with them. More
This dealership is the high pressure sale people dread about. I tried to get a new car through the CARS program. They didn't drop the price more than the typical internet price discount everyone has. T about. I tried to get a new car through the CARS program. They didn't drop the price more than the typical internet price discount everyone has. Their fees were almost $1500. Go to PA for deals. The have state regulated fees and are int the $200 range. I recieved the following from someone regarding internet car shopping: If a price appears too good to be true, it is. A lot of dealer's advertised prices or prices they give out over the internet have a catch. A lot of times there will only be one vehicle available at the advertised or provided price and chances are it will already be sold. In most cases the advertised price or the price provided over the internet will NOT include: - Destination fees are usually around $600 or more depending on the model - Carpeted floor mats - Dealer prep fees are some times as much as $500 In most cases, dealers will include the following in internet prices: - Recent College Graduate Rebates are usually around $400 or more (they assume you will qualify) - Rebate money in the place of special financing when you may not be eligible to receive one or both Unfortunately, consumers get sucked in by these misleading price quotes from other dealerships. That is the purpose of these low ball price quotes. Once you are at the store the deal changes resulting in a bad experience More
My family was interested in buying a 2009 Honda Civic through the Clunker for Cash deal. We went to Open Road after dealing with our previous Sales Rep at DCH Academy Honda (Ask for Paul in Sales, h through the Clunker for Cash deal. We went to Open Road after dealing with our previous Sales Rep at DCH Academy Honda (Ask for Paul in Sales, he is outstanding) where we could not get a deal that was good enough. However, DCH has worked with us in the past and we were pleased with the experience nonetheless. At Open Road we got a good deal and had signed the contract for the vehicle. We were told the next day to come in at 10:30 am to pick up the car. At the dealership there was a meeting among the sales group and they informed us they would not be honoring the Clunker for Cash deal and that we needed to spend another $4500 on the car. We were completely outraged. The manager was very disrespectful to my family as well as telling us no dealership within 20 miles is doing the Clunker for Cash deal. As well as basing their decision upon a report in the Star Ledger. I spoke to the reporter for the Star Ledger after leaving the dealership who told me that he was shocked they would not honor it. Since they obviously do not want to sell cars, I called another dealership (DCH as a I previously mentioned.) where I came in told them my problem. In less than two hours I walked away with the Cash for Clunker deal and a better price for the civic. Shame on this dealership I will never EVER recommend them. More
I found their showroom and lot filled with vehicles carrying expensive dealer installed "options". I was not offered a test drive. My salesman was constantly trying to close me before giving me a fir carrying expensive dealer installed "options". I was not offered a test drive. My salesman was constantly trying to close me before giving me a firm price on either a new Honda or my trade-in. He did not reveal that a "factory promotion" was in process. He would not get a manager to appraise my trade until I asked a third time. Rather, he told me that whatever I saw in Kelley's Blue Book was several thousand dollars off. When I rejected a ridiculous offer (trade-in and purchase wise), a sales manager told me that they were trying to make the unpleasant car buying experience as painless as possible by giving me a very good offer and that I should be pleased with it. I explained that I had been buying cars since the 1968 model year and that my work involved far bigger and more stressful negotiations. The following day I purchased an EX-L from Honda of Freehold. That was a more pleasant experience with a thoroughly professional organization. There was negotiation, but, with that organization, I did not feel that they were trying to take advantage of me. More
Not only does anyone in this dealership NOT listen to the customer and what they are looking for, but wastes tremendous amounts of time. I AGREED ON A PRICE FOR A 2009 ACCORD EX-L V6 LEASE WITH SALES MANAGER customer and what they are looking for, but wastes tremendous amounts of time. I AGREED ON A PRICE FOR A 2009 ACCORD EX-L V6 LEASE WITH SALES MANAGER, JAMIE VESCO. I gave my credit card for the deposit and not five minutes later he came to me with A HIGHER MONTHLY PAYMENT AND WANTED MORE MONEY DOWN. Mathew Mathai was condescending. I wanted to see a vehicle on the lot and he refused to show it to me for unknown reasons. Needless to say, I walked out. And, will recommend to everyone NOT to visit this dealership. I HAD CALLED THE GENERAL MANAGER, KEVIN PARK, TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE. A WEEK LATER AND NO RETURN PHONE CALL. Shame on you! I have purchased the exact car at another dealership and am completely thrilled with the respect I was shown. PERHAPS OPEN ROAD HONDA CAN LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM OTHER DEALERS. More

You willbe I you have lots and lots of money and want to put in ditch Pl visit Open Road Honda. More
I made a mistake of talking to this person. He has no knowledge of customer service. Oh, he is not even aware that word of mouth is going to decrease this dealership sales. If open road honda has Hasan knowledge of customer service. Oh, he is not even aware that word of mouth is going to decrease this dealership sales. If open road honda has Hasan as a sales manager, no wonder their customers are going to run away. More
HORRIBLE experience, i would not recommend this dealership to my worst enemy, the salesman we were dealing with (not Jamie) did not listen to a single request we made as far as quoting, he barely s dealership to my worst enemy, the salesman we were dealing with (not Jamie) did not listen to a single request we made as far as quoting, he barely spoke english and had a blank piece of paper on which he would sit and write a bunch of numbers to where i no longer knew what i was looking at, The manager jamie came along and did the same thing everytime the salesman would run to get a new "offer" (which was never really a different offer just a bunch of the same numbers scribbled on a white sheet of paper) he would be gone for 10-20 minutes at a time, my family and i ended up leaving but not before the manager said "we will never find the car we want for under 30,000" we went to DCH academy Honda in Old bridge and got the EXACT car we wanted for a price well below 30,000 ....beware of this place it is awful, and very very un-professional....

We leased a 2006 honda oddessey from them for a great price Now that the lease was maturing we went back to fiance a 2009 Honda Pilot WE went into open road with the understanding that they were a high price Now that the lease was maturing we went back to fiance a 2009 Honda Pilot WE went into open road with the understanding that they were a high volume dealership. We spoke to the salewoman and gave her the information on the Pilot we wanted we told her we were on a strict budget. After sitting there for about 15 minutes she came back with monthly amounts that were wrong. She went back and did change the monthly amount just by adding to the amount of time on the loan She went back and this time Hassan the (manager) came over and said the Pilot ex-l was out of our range he could put us in a ex for the amount we were looking for. SO we left That night I went on to a site for internet pricing and asked 5 honda dealership if they could do a deal on the ex-l in my range all 3 came back Princeton,DCH,Bayridge all said they could. OPen road wanted more information All of the other dealerships called and we spoke about pricing and fiancing I called open road asking them if they could give me a bottom line price all they said was to come in and discuss I said no and later that day we went to DCH and purchased the 2009 EX-L in matter of 2 hours More
On Jan. 19th, 2009 regarding my vehicle when I picked it up at your Service Department. I have no idea what kind of business you are running but today I was treated very poorly from your Service Department up at your Service Department. I have no idea what kind of business you are running but today I was treated very poorly from your Service Department (Neil, your service manager - horrible person, was no help at all - did not say one word to the tech, Jon and not even a "sorry" for Neil) plus the disrespect of my car when it's in your hands. I leased my 2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6 on December 3rd, 2008 and I have brought my vehicle back four times since then. See below: 1. A week I had vehicle I noticed a paint defect on the driver’s side door, which need to be repainted per my request because no one from your dealership offered to have it repainted. 2. Once I got my car returned from the repainting situation, I have had trouble starting the vehicle - brought back to your Service Department and they did find a code on the driver’s side door that they replace the part. 3. Once I got my car returned back, it was snowing and I put on my rear/side mirrors defroster and noticed that the driver’s side mirror defroster was not working anymore. Needless to say when they replaced the part on the driver’s side door they disconnected the side mirror defroster. 4. Brought my car in for service on Jan. 15th in the late afternoon and picked it up today, Jan. 19th at noon. Today was the worst experience I have had with your Service Department. When I got into my car I took noticed that they put 98 miles on my lease vehicle - THAT I DID NOT AUTHORIZED. Noticed the inside of my car was dirty and there were lollop sticks in my car and the towels (that I purchased) were all filled of dirt. This totally uncalled for especially for a customer. I had to fight for your Service Department to have my car clean. Later I spoke to the tech, Jon that has been working my car - he told me that he took my car home (which I did not authorized) and I had asked him why my car was so dirty - he told me that his kid was in my car. How do I not know if Jon put his kid in my nephew car seat? JON HAD NO RESPECT FOR MY CAR WHEN IT WAS IN HIS HANDS. Jon should be written up for the disrespect to me and my thirty thousand dollar car. Also, how do I know that he did not beat on my vehicle when he took to his home (which I did not authorized)? Since Jon did not have my authorizing to take MY CAR to his home - I want you to confirm back in an email that you will take off 98 miles if I decided to returned the car back after my lease is up. I would never have given permission for anyone to take my car home especially if they got into an accident under my car insurance. I realize that you told me it would go under Honda's insurance but that is not the point. Just saying if Jon got into accident with my car and it had to be fixed – why- would I wanted that car back.
