I had to find a new Honda dealership because Martin Honda in Manhattan closed. I selected Hillside Honda over Brooklyn and the Bronx because of the quality of my initial phone inquiry to make an appointment. in Manhattan closed. I selected Hillside Honda over Brooklyn and the Bronx because of the quality of my initial phone inquiry to make an appointment. My service person, Vinnie, was professional, friendly and informative. At 125,000 miles, my minivan needed a lot of repair and maintenance and the bill was high. Vinnie patiently explained the situation and I am glad I had the work done. The car is running better and I feel safer. I will be back in a few weeks for new tires. The only down side is the subway trip to and from Manhattan. but there's not much you can do about that!

I went to Hillside Honda to complaint a noise in the I went to Hillside Honda to complaint a noise in the speedometer cluster. A friend of mine who is mechanic said that there was something a problem o I went to Hillside Honda to complaint a noise in the speedometer cluster. A friend of mine who is mechanic said that there was something a problem of the electric circuit so he recommended to go to the dealership since he believed it is part of the warranty. I came there Thursday, June 10, dropped the car and spoke to Joseph Patano. I know the standard spill not to cover the warranty until everything is checked which was clearly explained by Joseph. I intended to get a car rental because of my tight schedules to work hoping the rental will be covered by Honda. That afternoon, I got a call from Joseph that the car is okay and the problem was the alarm system, which is not part of warranty so I have to pay the rental but no charges from Honda. I said, ok that's fair enough. However, when I got the car the next day, the noise even got worst. I called them Friday,June 11 and spoke to Joseph about the recurring problem. I know I was pissed off but it would never help the problem if I have to shout at someone. I clearly told Joseph that I just want the problem fixed. I used to work in the a Five Star Hotel and I know the system of customer service from the first contact person to the internal employee involved in fixing the problem. The front person whose name is JOSEPH PATANO, is very professional enough to deal such problem within his authority. Any problems happen anytime and it is just a matter on how the problem was handled and the " STEP OF RECOVERY" exhibited by Joseph to fix the problem was worth mentioning. I dropped the car again on Wednesday, June 16 and got the car that same afternoon before going to work. I was supposed to get a car rental if it wasn't fixed that day. But Joseph made an extra mile to ensure leaving a message that the car is ready and fixed. I know my first experience wasn't that good but at the end of day the most important is how the service provider - Joseph Patano of Hillside Honda handled my entire experience. I know the pressure and negative energy like Joseph absorbs from different customers who have individual problems going to Honda but JOSEPH is very porfessional and able to RECOVER to win back the good experience. There is no such thing as best experience everytime in customer service. It is how the problem is handled and fixed that makes customer feel good and being valued for the business. KUDOS to Joseph Patano of Hillside Honda for his professionalism and demonstrating the RECOVERY steps of winning back the confidence of the customer like me. And hope everyone exhibits the same professionalism of customer service and being able to RECOVER after the problem was handled well at first experience. I got my first HONDA CRV last December 2008 as a gift for myself after graduating Nursing. And I know I will buy HONDA again in the same dealership- HILLSIDE HONDA for my next car in the near future. By the way, I know I got wierd name of Jenefer but Joseph was sensitive enough to call me in my last name of GASTANES because my name is too female to call. But it is pronounced as HENEFER. However my complete name is Jenefer Carlito Gastanes. And I prefer to be called as CARL. I hope this commendation reach to management and congratulate Joseph Patano for his exemplary service.

Exactly how they promessed me my veh was ready by 45 minutes, left with my car to work and Joseph took his time in explain that i didnt only get an oil change but also, they check my battery as well as the tire preasure..... I have to say hillside honda is the best! More
