This is my story. Wow! What horrifyingly atrocious service! I did not use this group to purchase my last Honda but was considering leasing my next one by them. It sta Wow! What horrifyingly atrocious service! I did not use this group to purchase my last Honda but was considering leasing my next one by them. It started when I attempted to return a leased vehicle that was due back to Honda Universe in Lakewood, NJ as I was instructed by Honda Financial. I was asked to see Jerome Hofmann and leave the vehicle with him. I showed up first thing in the morning to return the car but Jerome Hofmann was not in yet so I left the keys with the service department as they assured me that they would give him the keys. I followed up about 2 hours later and was just sent to Jerome Hofmann's voicemail. I repeated this about 4 or 5 times that day but he didn't call me back until mid afternoon of the following day. I told him that I just wanted to confirm that he received the vehicle and thank him for his services. He became very nasty and asked if I had purchased the vehicle at Honda Universe. When I responded that I did not, he yelled at me that they are not required to accept any lease returns without any appointment and Honda Financial does not dictate which vehicles they are required to accept back. I did not know this so I apologized all the while still very polite and calm. He told me that the car was returned to my home the previous day. When I told him that I did not see it that morning or the night before, he replied in a very nasty tone "well, that is your fault and I hope you have insurance!" Well, after some time and effort I did locate the vehicle at a friends home sitting on his driveway with the keys in ignition. That was the address that I ordered the final lease inspection to so i guess they were able to find that address through the system. All in all, if that is the way they treat their customers in today's era, I would sooner take my business elsewhere even if its further. More

No hassles! Mike Galuppo was way more than accommodating when I visited him. I gave him a pretty challenging set of parameters, especially in terms of price, but Mike Galuppo was way more than accommodating when I visited him. I gave him a pretty challenging set of parameters, especially in terms of price, but he was able to come through with no hassle and no need for hours of haggling back and forth. He really took care of me! Thanks again for all of your hard work! More

He took his time and allowed me to drive both an Accord and a Civic. The entire process went very smoothly. After driving both cars, I found that the Civic fit my needs. I am more than happy with Mike and the dealership. I will recommend Honda Universe to my friends and family... More

John McGraw Top Salesman Leased our first honda a couple of years ago from John. We were not big Honda fans at the time but decided to give the CRV a try after John educated Leased our first honda a couple of years ago from John. We were not big Honda fans at the time but decided to give the CRV a try after John educated us on all the safety features. We loved the car and now have become Honda loyalists. We just leased another CRV and a Civic and John made the process quick and easy by working with us to accomodate our hectic schedule and limited amount of time and we had two new cars in no time. Highly recommend everyone to see John. Everyone at the dealership was friendly and helpful, especially Pat in finance. He was extremely professional and worked hard to ensure that we got everything we needed with our new vehicles. More

Just Ok! Ok price. but the promised car was not in stock. When I asked about a loaner for the time frame until promised vehicle was delivered I was greeted w Ok price. but the promised car was not in stock. When I asked about a loaner for the time frame until promised vehicle was delivered I was greeted with a crooked smile and a pause from the sales rep who said "NO" "my manager can not approve that" I sould have left then but I purchased because car because I was tired of the shell game my family was getting ansy and I just wanted to get the deal done. I had intentions on purchasing a second vehicle but I think it will be at a different dealership. This short sighted sales rep blinded by this one sales was so focused on getting the most out of me this day did not focus on the fact that I stated I would be purchasing a second vehicle in two weeks. I would have thought a dealership that knew 2 vehicles were a potential that they would have made my overall experience a bit better. I would have offered at least a loaner that day. More
