Berlin City Honda of Portland

I have nothing but good things about to say about my I have nothing but good things about to say about my recent 2010 Honda Pilot purchase from Berlin City in Portland, ME. My search for a dealer I have nothing but good things about to say about my recent 2010 Honda Pilot purchase from Berlin City in Portland, ME. My search for a dealer began online and I was given a fair price right from the start (I continued to shop around to compare) I live in southern Maine, equidistant from about 5 different Honda Dealerships. They gave me a fair price on my trade and tried very hard to earn my business by also making it a pleasant experience and with constant yet "non pushy" follow up. I should also mention that I did the deal while my husband was away on business and was always taken seriously and treated respectfully by the sales team. I can not say the same of other dealerships that I spoke to during my initial search. I even had one tell me they couldnt give me a quote on a car that wasn't even out yet...but I should come in to the dealership anyways. When it came time for the signing of papers we brought our four children and they were also made to feel at home, treated kindly and with respect. Each and every one of the people that we came in contact with was considerate of our time, friendly and listened to what we were trying to accomplish, and by meeting those needs, earned our business. It is such a pleasure to deal with a company that knows how to treat its customers and potential customers. A simple concept that I am constantly amazed seems to be lacking in many companies now a days. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a car. Thanks again to Keri Lavoie and Michael Brown. More

Gary was the 1st salesman we met when arriving at the lot. He was very easygoing and knowledgeable. He had only been selling Honda's at this location for a couple of weeks, and so was being overseen by lot. He was very easygoing and knowledgeable. He had only been selling Honda's at this location for a couple of weeks, and so was being overseen by Joe. They were both very helpful at describing the features of our car. They would get an A+ in my book. The reason for the "Good" ratings above were that it took us about 3 hrs. to get through the paperwork baloney to complete the purchase--we weren't even trying to haggle on price. It seems the purchase work could go a lot smoother if we could deal with a single person instead of all the runaround going back and forth between our salesman and 2!! managers, plus the finance guy. I could see it if we were trying to get a better price, but they just wear you out. It was helpful that the "extra" people were friendly and knowledgeable as well, but the process itself would be rated "Bad" or "OK". Not sure how it it w/ other dealers. More

It was a pleasure working with Scott Walker. His manner was always professional, friendly, honest and knowledgeable.

My husband and I wanted to replace our old Honda Accord, and went into Berlin City Honda in South Portland, ME on a lark, while in the state on business. We were so impressed and pleased to run into Mel Ha and went into Berlin City Honda in South Portland, ME on a lark, while in the state on business. We were so impressed and pleased to run into Mel Hatch -- an honest, funny, and well-informed salesperson -- that we decided to purchase our car in Maine, not New York State, where we live. If you need to buy a car, and drive Hondas, Mel Hatch is an exceptionally good salesperson. So too are some of her colleagues, particularly Scott Walker and Damien Sieg. These folks made our new-car-buying experience a real pleasure. We highly recommend them. More

Friendly, courteous, and accomodating.....they pay attention to what you say. Labor cost is an issue in these hard economic times. Maine, in general, does not pay well (lower standard of living) so attention to what you say. Labor cost is an issue in these hard economic times. Maine, in general, does not pay well (lower standard of living) so it becomes increasing harder to work with (go to) a "certified" dealer. More

I leased our Honda Pilot 3 years ago and when the lease came up, my husband and I casually drove over to the dealership one day to look at our options. We met Melissa right away and she was fantastic. We came up, my husband and I casually drove over to the dealership one day to look at our options. We met Melissa right away and she was fantastic. We decided to purchase our Pilot and Melissa walked us through each step, even calling me with reminders. (Being a new mother and lack of sleep due to it, I really appreciated it!) Melissa is one of the many excellent employees at Berlin City Honda. Everyone we have met with (sorry to forget names otherwise I'd list all of you) from sales to service to finance is exceptional. This is every visit we have had, I appreciate the consistency. I would and will recommend to our friends and family looking for an all around good car purchasing/leasing option to Berlin City. More
