We purchased a new CR-V on Thursday. We had talked to other Honda dealers and Van and Vern was the first with the best price and provided a very simple honest approach towards the purchase. We were in an other Honda dealers and Van and Vern was the first with the best price and provided a very simple honest approach towards the purchase. We were in and out in about three hours and we were not hassled to pay more or buy more add-ons. We’ve had other experiences purchasing Hondas from other dealers and Scott Robinson completely blew those guys out of the water. We are extremely satisfied and we will be taking our new car there for servicing and keep them in mind for the future. I would give it a five star experience. Thanks! More

I just bought a 2012 Honda Accord on Saturday. Fawzy Mansour was my sales consultant. I was grateful to have such a patient salesman. He took time to explain to me the features on the 2012 model. He did Mansour was my sales consultant. I was grateful to have such a patient salesman. He took time to explain to me the features on the 2012 model. He did not pressure me to buy and was extremely helpful. It was my first car buying experience and he made it pleasant. I will definitely recommend him and Scott Robinson Honda to my friends and family. I was able to get the car I wanted and stay within my budget. I am a very happy customer. More
We arrived at Scott Robinson Honda after signing up on the Costco buyer Program. We were kept in the loop the days before by emails and a phone call. On arrival we were met immediately at the dealer by N the Costco buyer Program. We were kept in the loop the days before by emails and a phone call. On arrival we were met immediately at the dealer by Natalie, who then introduced us to our sales person, Krishelle. The costco program was explained to us, we went out into the lot and picked out a vehicle to test drive, (Had already determined a CRV was in the picture). After the test drive my wife was sold on the CRV and we went in to complete the deal. Krishelle made that purchase experience one of the best I have ever had, (quite a few cars in my 50 years of buying). What was really a pleasure was the Finance, extra add on, paper work meeting with Mike. No hard core pressure on extra items, very professional. All in all, by far, the nicest and quickest purchase we have had in the last four purchases. Thanks again Natalie, Krishelle and Mike. More
First thorough review from my part, but I wanted to write a really helpful one for Stuart and the guys at Scott Robinson, and for anyone else thinking of going there for their next car. Some quick points: a really helpful one for Stuart and the guys at Scott Robinson, and for anyone else thinking of going there for their next car. Some quick points: - I'm in sales as well, while additional an Army reservist, and I went in here knowing what I wanted and what the dealership wanted. - Despite the sales situation, I still felt extremely comfortable and taken care of by Stuart, who defined my experience at Scott Robinson - Stuart went above and beyond his role as a salesman, taking care not to use high-pressure sales tactics and staying respectful of my decision-making process, while working hard to get the best possible deal I could get - He even helped me after the car purchase, setting up meetings and working with the dealership to resolve my issues with the car alarm that was pushed on me by the finance guy. In a world where trust is so hard to come by in the world of automotive shopping and maintenance, I would recommend Stuart to my friends interested with a Honda purchase again and again and again. - Finally, I know how important reviews are, especially when choosing a dealership for your new car. I'm a real person, and I'm not paid by Scott Robinson to post this review. This actually happened, and I feel it's rare to have a positive experience like this, that I have to share it, so feel free to message me with any questions. ---------------------- I was in the market for a used SUV that would fit my budget and my needs over the next few years. My trusty Civic could no longer handle the need to traverse the rough roads at Camp Pendleton, and I needed a vehicle that could handle carrying tons of gear, yet give me a refuge to rest in the wilderness. After using the USAA Car Service to find a suitable car for my budget and needs, I settled on the Honda Element - now to find a place to buy it! The USAA Car Service helped me find a few dealerships that offered the Element - one of which was the Scott Robinson Honda dealership in Torrance. I decided to visit them first, as the other two Elements in my sight both started at 14K, and were almost 100 miles from where I lived. The Element at Scott Robinson was being offered at a lower starting price, and even though it was an older model (2006), I figured it could be a great deal, considering it was a Honda. Experience ----------------------- After emailing the dealership, they set me up with Stuart Lipschitz, who met me at the dealership, on-time and with a smile on his face. I went into the meeting with a realist view - I know car salesmen are in the business to make money, and they'll say anything to make the deal - so I went in to find out everything I could about the Element and how much they'll bend over backward to get the "OK, I'll buy" from me. Test driving and trying out the car was very professional with Stuart - he didn't make me wait, he didn't try any sort of pressure-tactics with me. He simply said "Let me get the keys", and off we went! During the drive, he asked a few questions, but simply encouraged me to put the Element through its paces - accelerations, braking, turns, going uphill, and even driving all the way to the freeway and taking it a couple of exits to test it at higher speeds and cruise control! Spent probably at least almost an hour test-driving, and he never showed any impatience or pushing tactics to see if I wanted to buy - just simply let me drive :) I told him I loved the Element, and that I wanted to see the CarFax after getting back. He agreed, and we talked a little chitchat on the way back to the dealership. Once there, he walked me inside the dealer room, led me to his desk, and asked if I wanted anything to drink while he got the CarFax. I said yes, and he goes, "Why not a cappuccino?" (Nice) With cappuccino in hand, he brought back the CarFax. Upon reading it, I saw that the Element had been brought into maintenance every 6 months at Scott Robinson, and that it only had one owner - no crashes, clean title. I expressed surprise at such a well-maintained record, and that it was major brownie points for me to buy; Stuart said the same, saying he rarely sees a CarFax that thorough. So, finally, he asked me, "So, what will it take to get you to take it home today?" I had, of course, had told him that I was intending to take at least a night to sleep on it. The car also wasn't exactly the color I envisioned my next car would be - it was forest green, while I was hoping to take home something more professional looking (grey or black, for example). I reinforced these points with Stuart, who of course understood - he reiterated to me that, if I buy, it will be with a car that I felt completely comfortable buying. Finally, after a bit more discussion and cutting the price down a couple hundred, he simply leaned back and asked, "What will it take for you to buy today?" After some thought, I replied, "Bring it below $10k, and I'll buy." He stood up, asked me to wait - then came back after a discussion with his boss. "Congratulations", he smiled, and offered his hand :) It's been two weeks - I still love my Element, and I still feel I found the best deal I could find from a dealership with Stuart and Scott Robinson. There was only one point of regret that I came away from the experience that day - the finance guy who took over after Stuart convinced me to buy the Karr alarm that was installed on the Element as added security. It became a regret as I tested it during the week after the purchase - the alarm would sometimes refuse to go off after testing the door handles, rocking the Element, and banging on the window. However, Stuart again helped me out - he arranged a meeting with the dealership to check the alarm. I visited the dealership and ensured that the alarm actually worked - I thought that was the end of that. However, after coming back home, the alarm again started acting weird - at this point, I finally gave up and decided to demand my money back. I was worried, though - I had heard stories of dealerships refusing to meet with new car owners that were unhappy with their alarm purchase, and insisting that the alarm install was nonrefundable (which is incorrect, of course - unless stated in the contract, all services by a dealership are refundable and reversible if the service does not meet expectation). AGAIN, Stuart took time out of his busy schedule and gave me a hand: he tried arranging a link-up with the finance guy to have the alarm returned. After a couple of days of voicemails and non-returned emails, he finally informed me that his boss told him that I could bring in the Element and have the alarm removed, with my money refunded! Talk about a sigh of relief - I was prepping to go "thermonuclear" and fight for any dealership shenanigans, but it turned out Stuart and Scott Robinson saved me the trouble! When all was said in done, I'm now the proud owner of my 2006 Honda Element, and I had a very enjoyable and comfortable experience, with no question in my mind that I got the maximum bang for my buck, with a very surprisingly low-level of fighting high-pressure sales tactics and fighting for my rights. I'm very thankful for Stuart and Scott Robinson Honda, and I will definitely keep them in mind for my next Honda, as well as recommend them to all of my friends looking for one! More
Jeff Kokkinos was the sales associate I dealt with and he is a dishonest man. First, he gave me an amazing out-the-door price via email for a 2012 Honda Odyssey EX-L w/ Navigation with "pro package" is a dishonest man. First, he gave me an amazing out-the-door price via email for a 2012 Honda Odyssey EX-L w/ Navigation with "pro package" (mud guards, wheel locks, cargo mat). I confirm that his offer was out-the-door, meaning taxes, dealer fees, everything was included. He confirms it is out-the-door. I was happy. I told Jeff I would come to purchase the vehicle that night after work. I called Jeff at 6:30pm to confirm the vehicle was there and to tell him I'm coming so he doesn't go home, he confirms everything. I drive over an hour through traffic on the 405, I've got my wife and kid with me, and when I get to the dealership, the Odyssey is not there. Jeff says big mixup and that another dealership picked it up in a "dealer swap" by mistake, but they're only 28 miles away and it will be back in 30 minutes. I am upset. Jeff tells me, in the presence of my wife and another sales associate, "I never do this, but if your Odyssey isn't here in 30 minutes, I will sell you a 2013 Odyssey Touring for the same price." I ask him if he's sure, he says, "I give you my word." My wife and I begin to fill out the paperwork. Jeff brings out the offer sheet with final price. The price is $2600 more than he quoted me in writing. Jeff tells me $2200 is for a service package, and when I press him on what the service covers, he doesn't tell me, but rationalizes to me that it will give me peace-of-mind. I ask him again what exactly does it cover, and he says it's a bumper to bumper coverage for 5 years / 50,000 miles but is flexible in milage or years. I tell him I don't want it. Then I look at my watch and say to Jeff that it's been 30 minutes, is he going to sell me a 2013 Odyssey Touring? Jeff says to me, "You're kidding right? I can't sell you that car for the price I offered you for the 2012." I ask him why he even made me that offer, that even if it was a joke, he shouldn't say things like that. I told him to his face he was being dishonest. So going back to the 2012, there is now a difference of $400 and Jeff says it's because the "pro package" wasn't in the computer when he calculated the price. He then tells me his sales manager won't budge and I have to pay for it because someone in the service department already installed the mud guards, cargo mat, and wheel locks. Jeff then explains that it's usually $999 for the package, but I'm getting a great deal at $400 because I'm an internet customer. I'm thinking to myself that $999 (or even $400) is way too much money for mud guards, a rubber cargo mat, and wheel locks and tell Jeff that because he gave me a written offer of X-price, he should honor that. He says he can't. I walked. That whole experience took over 1 hour and 20 minutes. The entire time, the vehicle Jeff promised me, said was in stock and on the lot, never was there and never showed up in the "dealer swap" mix up. More

This was the second car that I purchased from Scott Robinson Honda. My first experience was very good, but this last one was the best new car purchase to date. I was on a time table and I told Stuart Robinson Honda. My first experience was very good, but this last one was the best new car purchase to date. I was on a time table and I told Stuart I had 2 hours to buy a Civic start to finish. My request was honored! I had my new Civic NGV in 2 HOURS!!! Everyone was extremely professional from the Sales Consulant Stewart to the General Manager, Erin. I never felt I was being pressured or rushed. I would like to commend all the people who work at Scott Robinson Honda. It was truly a very pleasant experience and I got the "Best Deal" from them. Most of all, I have "The Best, Safest, and Most Eco-Friendly car on the road!" Once again, thank you to all... More
