I had a wonderful experience at Lia, and Wayne was the best! One of the other Honda dealerships in the area had given me quite a run-around, so I came into this experience skeptical and at least a litt best! One of the other Honda dealerships in the area had given me quite a run-around, so I came into this experience skeptical and at least a little angry, to be honest. I was ready to be disappointed, but within minutes, I knew that this was going to be a MUCH better experience. We pulled in, Wayne came right out, we chatted for a few minutes about what I was looking for (a Fit), then he sent us on a test drive - yes, *sent* us. He handed us the keys to a Fit with 4 miles on it, and told us to have fun. We drove it, loved it, and came back to talk numbers. I had a quote from the other dealership, and Wayne matched it, no questions asked (even though it was in my handwriting on a post-it note). We ended up getting our new Fit for less than invoice, and it took less than 45 minutes total to sit down, run numbers, and buy the car. We had to wait a day to pick it up - I was sad, but it was nice to pick it up all squeaky clean :) There was a bit of a hard-sell on the warranty, but no one really batted an eye when we said no thanks. This was, honestly, the best and most enjoyable time I've ever had at a car dealership. Wayne (the salesman) was laid back, and not at all pushy. I left with the car I wanted for the price I wanted - no complaints from me! More
Brought my car. The desk attendant was polite and nice and not phony. He listed what I wanted done. Didn't mind me asking questions. Printed out a detail of oil filter change, tire rotation and inspection and not phony. He listed what I wanted done. Didn't mind me asking questions. Printed out a detail of oil filter change, tire rotation and inspection. He came and got when the work was done and I left. For the work requested it was a reasonable wait time. I felt confident and would refer to others. More

I stopped in at Lia Honda this morning to take a close-up look at the Honda Fit, not really planning to make the purchase today. A couple of the salesmen asked if they could help me, but when I said, "I'm j look at the Honda Fit, not really planning to make the purchase today. A couple of the salesmen asked if they could help me, but when I said, "I'm just looking around, thanks," they let me roam around and look to my heart's content. After I had been there a few minutes, Jeff approached me and asked if he could answer any questions. Long story short -- Jeff was so pleasant, helpful and low-key that I ended up making a purchase! I have nothing but good things to say about this dealership. Everyone was helpful and friendly and the purchase was completed very quickly, including all necessary paperwork for the DMV and my insurance company. I recommend them highly! More

We wanted to look for Honda With V6 engine and would like to had the test drive and the reception told us that all the salesmen were busy and we had to wait around 20 minutes but after being waiting for 40 m to had the test drive and the reception told us that all the salesmen were busy and we had to wait around 20 minutes but after being waiting for 40 minutes no salesman willing to meet us. We know that Honda will sell by itself but this dealership has Very poor customer service. Never want to recommend this place to somebody else. More

Lia Honda of Albany is one of the worst dealers in the capital area. I went there to lease a 2013 Honda Accord EXL. As I walked into the dealership the salesperson asked me “what is the payment I was look capital area. I went there to lease a 2013 Honda Accord EXL. As I walked into the dealership the salesperson asked me “what is the payment I was looking for”. I told him can we at least test drive the car first before we talk about the payment. After the test drive first thing, he wanted me to fill out a credit application. I told him, “I qualify for tier 1 credit. I already have a car financed under tier 1 program. Can we talk about numbers and agree on something before I fill out an application.” Finally we talk about numbers and as he was leaving to get numbers from his boss, I asked him to come back with details numbers (sale price, residual value, money factor) not just lease monthly payments. He comes back with very high lease payments $460 a month for 2013 Honda Accord no other numbers. I asked him for details how he arrived at this number, he tells me “this is it take it or leave it”. They were trying to play their payment game, where they pad the payments and never talk about the sale price residual value and money factor. And I wasn’t not going to make a deal without knowing what I was getting into. I walked out of the dealership without any words. I will take my business somewhere else. There are plenty of Honda dealers in the area. Lia Honda may seem like nice dealership but they do not want to deal with people who are smart about their money. They love dealing with people are not educated about numbers/finance. I understand they are in business to make money but this does not mean they can rip off people. More
I received a phone call encouraging me to come in for an oil change. When I explained that my finances were very limited right now and that my car was not far beyond the oil change/mileage date, I was told oil change. When I explained that my finances were very limited right now and that my car was not far beyond the oil change/mileage date, I was told that they would reduce the cost by an extra $10.00. So, I made an appointment for the following day and when I arrived, they declined the extra $10.00 off that the dealership had committed to me over the phone the day before. This was a huge waste of my valuable time and an embarassment to have to open up about the personal hardship I am experiencing in this difficult economy. Adding insult to injury, I noticed that when I politely left without the service, the employee and manager I dealt with were talking and smiling, most likely about my case. More
