I purchased through the Costco Auto program, and I highly recommend purchasing vehicles from Jonathon Saba. Our experience at this dealer was overall excellent. We were extremely satisfied with the sales con recommend purchasing vehicles from Jonathon Saba. Our experience at this dealer was overall excellent. We were extremely satisfied with the sales consultant - Jon. I was less impressed (if at all) of my experience with the business manager. The review below lists both experience. Here are the reasons we recommend Jon. 1) Patience - Jon was very patient in answering all of our questions, even those that may not seem so relevant to the purchase of a vehicles - for example, where is the Honda's headquarter. He answered questions with patience and did not show any annoyance. 2) Gratitude & sincere - Jon made us felt that our efforts to trust a sales consultant was appreciated. Jon told us, more than once, that our business with him means a lot to him; that our return to purchase the vehicle meant a lot to him (we did not make the purchase on our initial visit). He was sincerely and I appreciate his gratitude. He didn't take us for granted just because Brewster Honda has the best price (and if he was only acting sincere, then he is a very talented actor). 3) Not pushy - while I can feel the pressure of buying car, I did not feel uncomfortable. The amount of pressure was just enough to let me know that - yes, he wants to make the sale, but no, I don't need to tell him to back off. 4) Easy going but professional - Jon is very easy going, makes jokes but extremely professional and detailed-oriented. He drove us to see the car multiple times: once to see the exterior is black, then to see the upholster is black, then to compare if we want grey or black upholster. He wanted to make sure that every step of the process is accurate; that we have a full understanding of what we are paying, and that we are happy. 5) Helpful - This relates to our first impression at the dealer. When we pulled in the lot, Jon was standing outside. He saw us, waved to say hi, greeted us, and walked us to our appointment with Toni. I didn't know he was going to be our sales consultant and he probably didn't know we will be his customer. The point is, he could have stood there, nodded, and said - "the receptionist is inside." Note that bullets 1-5 occurred prior to we pay for the car. 6) Professional even after we bought the car - We got the keys and Jon sat inside the car and showed us how to operate the screen, connect blue tooth, the wheel lock, etc. It was a Saturday and we had been at the dealer since 9:30. Everyone was exhausted, I was getting inpatient and wanted to go home, but Jon maintained his patience and helped us settled in the new car. 7) Jon showed us around and introduced us to the manager and service shop. He wanted to make sure that when we come in the next time, we know where to go and who to see. This is very thoughtful of him and we appreciated it. Jonathon Saba is an extremely professional sales consultant who is knowledgeable of Honda vehicles as well as the overall car industry. He is patient, sincere, not pushy, respectful, easy going, helpful, and pleasant to work with. He is fully aware of his role and goal as a sales consultant and he is talented and outstanding at his job. I would highly recommend purchasing vehicle with him. A side not - ask Job for his Ceviche recipe. Below is my review for the experience with the business manager - Terrible and tragic. We had the most terrible experience (and human interaction) with the business manager. It was the attitude, comments, and remarks that really threw us off. We as customers, make our decisions and approach to purchase based on our preference, and understanding of our financial situation. I did not feel comfortable nor happy with how we were treated. It is our choice to buy or not buy products that are being offered to us, and a professional business manager should not have let us felt that we are wasting his time because for the records, we were not interested in sitting down a business manager at the first place.

After being called names by the used sales manager I almost walked out but the price the the car I purchased kept me there. I later found they lied about everything on the Certified Pre Owned report th almost walked out but the price the the car I purchased kept me there. I later found they lied about everything on the Certified Pre Owned report the car was left with open recalls, I was charged $25 for a "free tank of gas" My credit card was later charged by them for over $300 for no reason, the car was not cleaned (including a broken umbrella left in the trunk) and there were no floor mats in the car... Most importantly the air filter, break fluid, and steering fluid were not changed costing me $400 If it was just an open recall, $25 gas fee along with being uncleaned I would have though the car was worth the money but with everything added in it cost me just as much in the end as it would have to shop at a reputable dealer.

This dealership has the worst customer service department I have ever encountered. I have owned a Honda for the past 12 years, been to many dealerships. I try to go to other dealerships for service when poss I have ever encountered. I have owned a Honda for the past 12 years, been to many dealerships. I try to go to other dealerships for service when possible but Brewster is the closest. On my most recent visit the two girls in service were arguing and rolling their eyes at each other, it was very uncomfortable from the beginning. I was there solely to get a new key made which they told me would take an hour. 2 hours later it was still not done. Employees are very rude and do not care @ all about the customer. More
the business manger was extremely rude, however we proceeded with the purchase, we were told to go back next day to complete the buy, the credit application was approved, we went back next day and we proceeded with the purchase, we were told to go back next day to complete the buy, the credit application was approved, we went back next day and we picked the car, two weeks later i received denial letters from 6 different bank????? apparently the business manager sent multiple inquiries to all these bank on purpose to get my credit ruined!!!!!! when i call him back to question him the answer i got was (tat is what u are signing when you are appliying for credit) this is by far the worst shopping experience i ever had, i don't recommend this dealership to even my worst enemy!!!!! AVOID AT ANY COST!!!!! More
As loyal Honda drivers, we decided to trade a 2003 Accord for a 2013 CRV. When our long-time dealer came back with what we felt was an overly low trade value, a neighbor suggested we contact Brewster Honda. for a 2013 CRV. When our long-time dealer came back with what we felt was an overly low trade value, a neighbor suggested we contact Brewster Honda. The purchasing experience was seamless -- Danny Espinal made what can sometimes be a stressful experience quite stress-free, we received what we thought was a fair value on our trade, and despite our concerns about purchasing from a dealer across state lines, the registration / transfer procedure was completely painless. We're very pleased with the new vehicle and the way Brewster Honda handled everything. To cap it off, a few weeks after taking possession of the CRV, we received a check from Brewster Honda refunding a slight overcharge on the NY-CT registration/plate transfer. We highly recommend the dealership and Mr. Espinal. More
Dan has been very helpful. We have gotten a good deal lease and it went very smoothly. This is our second lease experience at Brewster Honda.

Brewster Honda has a great reputation, and they proved it once again. Jon Saba was my sales consultant. He was knowledgeable and helpful in both the searching and purchasing process. I ended up buying a 2 once again. Jon Saba was my sales consultant. He was knowledgeable and helpful in both the searching and purchasing process. I ended up buying a 2007 Honda CRV, with just the right input from him! I would strongly recommend this dealership to others and will return there when the time comes to purchase again Beth Wagman More
Salespeople too busy to care about their customers. We have purchased two new cars here within the last 6 years and each time experienced the same curt and uninterested personnel. In June, 2012 we we have purchased two new cars here within the last 6 years and each time experienced the same curt and uninterested personnel. In June, 2012 we went in to purchase a new car knowing they had that particular model on the lot. We bought it that day. We received no help from the salespeople and were given "Rose" the receptionist as our guide. While cordial and friendly, she couldn't answer many of our questions and the salespeople never came over to help us. This dealership does volume business and their personnel does not care about customer service. We have found this to be true with their service department also. We will not buy from this dealership again, but we will buy Hondas forever. More
