WOW....I expected to have the same type of experience I have always had when ti comes to dealing with purchasing a new car but Garber Honda is completely different. From the minute I walked in the door, El have always had when ti comes to dealing with purchasing a new car but Garber Honda is completely different. From the minute I walked in the door, Elizabeth took amazing care of me. Every single person I crossed paths with at the dealership had a smile and a kind hello. It must be an amazing company to work for as everyone was happy. As for the purchase...very easy, no hassle, great price everything was so easy that I kept expecting some sort of hassle but never did experience one. Other car dealers could really learn from the folks at Garber. They really know how to treat their customers with respect. An amazing group of people and when you visit them, ask for Elizabeth...she is one of a kind!!. More
My wife and I desperately needed a second car but had a very tight budget. After months of research, we decided to test drive a few cars and speak to the representatives of each company to see what they co very tight budget. After months of research, we decided to test drive a few cars and speak to the representatives of each company to see what they could offer us. We started at Garber Honda and after test driving the 2014 Accord EX-L and the 2013 Civic EX-L, we decided that the Accord was what we wanted. Thomas worked very hard, spending several hours with my wife and I trying to convince us that Garber could make our budget work. Being the kind of person who likes to do his research and try all options before making a decision, I was very firm on leaving that day without purchasing a vehicle so that I could explore my other options in-person (even though after a month of online research led me to believe that the Accord was the vehicle I was most likely to purchase...especially after driving it as well). I am simply of the mentality that "you never know." Therefore, I was adament about checking out other dealers before making my decision. That said, I let Thomas work his magic (coming back with deal after deal on several different cars and options) for hours before he finally said, "what do we have to do to make you drive that car home today?" I signed a piece of paper saying that there was no way he could make me do that. At that point, I thought I had won the battle (despite several enticing offers)...I'm just not the type to make a purchase on the first round. Thomas introduced my wife and I to a manager and asked us one more time if he could pull a miracle, would we take the offer...and he gave us a ridiculous offer. He warned us that it was likely that the offer would be declined by the site manager but figured it couldn't hurt to find out exactly what would change our minds and shoot for it. I thought for a while and realized that with all of the background information that I brought with me, I could not get a better deal anywhere else. But there was still the part of me that wanted to see if maybe I would like driving another car better. But I realized that the Accord was near perfect all-around and that I loved the car. So finally it had seemed that Thomas had one-upped me. I signed the paper saying if he could pull that ridiculous deal, I would take it. I was confident that he couldn't since it was so much lower than what we started with. After speaking with the head site manager, he congratulated us and let us know that the car was ours. I have to say that Thomas and his team at Garber are excellent sales reps with great customer service. They work very hard to get you what you want so that they can get what they want (a sale). They all agreed that I was one of the most difficult people (they probably meant the most stubborn jerk, haha) that they had ever dealt with. Surprisingly, I asked a lot of questions that they had never gotten before too. But in the end, they proved that they are customer oriented and are willing to work with your needs to make the sale. So congratulations to the Garber Honda team for the excellent service and ability to make a challenging sale. When I signed the paper I wrote "only because Thomas was awesome," and I meant it. Highly recommended! More
I recently purchased a car from Garber Honda Pre-Owned. I live about 2 hours away from Rochester and usually try to negotiate prices from all the local Honda dealers (Fox Honda, Honda of Ithaca, Dick Ide Hon live about 2 hours away from Rochester and usually try to negotiate prices from all the local Honda dealers (Fox Honda, Honda of Ithaca, Dick Ide Honda, Ralph Honda, etc.), to try to find the best deal. I was so impressed with the attention to detail given by both the salesman (Roy Patterson) and the Used Car Director (Jason Sgarzi). I came to the negotiations with a specific price in mind for my trade-in and the purchase price of a 2012 Civic. Their willingness to hear what I was saying was better than any car shopping experience I've ever had. After the usual negotiation banter we ultimately settled on the exact deal I had been hoping for. As a buyer, I couldn't have asked for more than that. I'll also mention that I have my 5 year old and my 5 month old kids with me during the process. The entire staff (outside of the two I was working with) went out of their way to make sure we had toys and coloring books and refreshments for both of our kids. At the risk of sounding like a drone, I have to say that if you're looking for a Honda (which you should be, anyway), there are a lot of choices near Rochester, but Garber should be at the top of your list. I know I'll be making the 2-hour trip every time I need a new car from now on. More

I bought a used 2012 Honda Accord two weeks ago. I was greeted by Rose who was friendly and professional. We took one car for a ride and it was the car I wanted. I was pretty certain before arriving tha greeted by Rose who was friendly and professional. We took one car for a ride and it was the car I wanted. I was pretty certain before arriving that I would be buying one of two cars. Rose was professional and not pushy. We got the deal done that day and I picked the car up a few days later. No complaints. All parties were friendly and professional. More

1. Let me start by saying that I'm always skeptical of positive dealership reviews because I suspect many of them are planted. 2. In that vein, I'll understand if you find this one hard to believe. of positive dealership reviews because I suspect many of them are planted. 2. In that vein, I'll understand if you find this one hard to believe. I honestly had a very good experience at Garber Honda. My salesperson was Gary Wurth. 3. Background: (you can read or skip) We had been looking for a 3-row SUV for a couple weeks. I had narrowed the choice to a Toyota Highlander, the new Nissan Pathfinder or a Honda Pilot. As a brief tangent, I had one of the worst experiences ever at an area Toyota dealership that rhymes with Mozel-ton. Just awful. They baited me into the showroom with a bogus price quote over the phone only to "reveal" the Highlander I was looking at was actually 3k more than they'd phone quoted. Until then, the Highlander had been my first choice, but the experience soured me so much that we started looking at the others and ultimately settled on the Pilot - glad we did, it's a much better fit for us in retrospect. With the car picked out it was time to shop dealers. 4. I am the kind of buyer car dealers hate. I got a quote from every Honda dealer within a 100 mile radius of Rochester for their best price on the specific car we wanted. Garber came back with the best price so I went there. I was expecting shenanigans based on a) car salesman reputations generally and b) my recent Toyota experience (see above). Gary Wurth was the salesperson I dealt with and he is a straight shooter. No nonsense. No last minute games. I kept waiting for the "Oh, I forgot to mention this fee ...", but it never came. Not even in the finance office, where I dealt with Mike (can't recall last name), who was also unbelievably pleasant to deal with. 5. We had a couple bumps along the way because the car needed to be located from another dealership, but ultimately we got the exact car we wanted at a great price with no games or nonsense. I would unequivocally recommend anyone looking to buy a Honda see Gary Wurth at Garber Honda in Rochester. It was honestly the best car buying experience I've ever had and I have had many. Josh S.
