When buying a car, you have to be prepared. The whole process took about three weeks for me when purchasing from Burns. Mitch was my primary contact throughout the process. He was friendly and very knowl process took about three weeks for me when purchasing from Burns. Mitch was my primary contact throughout the process. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about the vehicles. He was accommodating with regard to my schedule and listened carefully to my priorities concerning the vehicle that I was interested and the money I planned to spend. I did get frustrated by the "negotiations" and reminded them all that I already had a car and didn't have to continue the process. It seemed very unreasonable to find out that buying a slightly used vehicle was more expensive than buying a new one at Burns. My husband and I walked out after two hours of nonsense and only dealt with the sales team via email the next day trying to work out actual numbers. A mass email from Burns implied that there was a lower interest rate was a special for Presidents' Day, and I had the impression that I could make the deal that I wanted. I was ready to walk out of the dealership for good the next day, when I discovered that there was "fine print" and the lower interest rate was only good for a 3 year financed purchase. Although the sales team had the time an opportunity to correct my misinterpretation of the interest rates before I returned to the dealership, no one contacted me. I had told Mitch from the beginning that I was going to be straight with him and that I expected him to be the same. I was not going to play the negotiating games. I stood my ground and ended up with payments that I originally told Mitch I could afford. When I drove my new vehicle home that night and discovered scratches on the windshield, I immediately contacted Mitch again. He told me to bring the car in for inspection, which I did on his next business day. After the inspection and a few conversations with the managers, he told me that the windshield would be completely replaced as soon as possible. There were no negotiations needed to resolve this issue. It is not an easy process and I am happy knowing that I probably won't have to endure it again for a number of years. I know Burns is in the business to make money and I can't blame them for that. I think that if a potential buyer researches the vehicle properly and is firm with their financial status, a fair deal can be made there. Perhaps Burns is tougher than other dealerships, but maybe not. I have had no problems with Honda service department in the past 18 months and do not expect to in the future. More

Ed was great to deal with, and was very thorough in explaining everything. I'd never bought a new car before, and had only previously purchased from car owners directly. It was hassle-free, and Ed to explaining everything. I'd never bought a new car before, and had only previously purchased from car owners directly. It was hassle-free, and Ed took all the time necessary for me to be able to drive off in my new car (2010 Honda Fit). I had a lot of stuff to transfer from my old vehicle, and Ed was patient while I got it taken care of, and even reminded me of things I might forget (like CDs still in the player). I can't imagine not continuing to do business with Burns Honda and Ed Altman in the future. I hope everyone can have transactions this painless. p.s.--I absolutely am loving the car, too. More

We purchased our minivan from them, and brought it in for routine maintenance in Jan 2010. The next day when we went to get the car, it was smashed up on the front passenger side. Burns completely refused routine maintenance in Jan 2010. The next day when we went to get the car, it was smashed up on the front passenger side. Burns completely refused to take any responsibility. They keep offering us BS lines like "of course if this happened here we'd take care of it, but..." Notice the *if* word. I dislike being treated as if I'm a cheat instead of a customer. Further, the service manager was completely rude during the discussions, making comments such as "let me say this again, more slowly so you can understand, IF this happened here.." Would you go back to a guy like this? *EDIT* - After a few days, Burns decided to handle this situation in the way that we thought was fair: They gave us a loaner car, and repaired our van at no charge. The damage is gone, at no cost to us. Maybe we finally screamed in the right ear, or maybe social networking sites such as this one do make a difference. In any case - our issue has been resolved.
