My first purchase from Pacific Honda was 8 years ago. I bought a preowned CR-V which I drove for 8 years and it never broke down on me once. Pacific Honda was true to their word and awesome to deal with. A bought a preowned CR-V which I drove for 8 years and it never broke down on me once. Pacific Honda was true to their word and awesome to deal with. As my car reached 200,000 miles and was showing wear and tear I decided to shop around for another CR-V. I really was hoping to make another purchase from Pacific Honda. While shopping around at other places, I felt either I wasn't confident in the customer service or comfortable with the CR-V they were trying to sell me. Finally , I saw some options on Pacific Honda's website and hurried over to their preowned car department . I was greeted by James Morrison who promptly showed me the options I was interested in . When I narrowed it down to the car I wanted, James went out of his way to get me a fair price on my trade-in and on the certified preowned CR-V I ultimately purchased. It had been a while since I had to deal with car buying and James made it so much less stressful than it could have been. In the end, I'm so glad I bought a certified Honda FROM Honda because they really do make sure every part of their preowned cars are absolutely the best and practically make the car seem like its brand new. Also the warranty you get is unlike what you will get from other non-Honda dealerships. To entrust Pacific Honda to uphold these values and facilitate this purchase was icing on the cake. More
Ted went out of his way to make sure that my experience was comfortable and that I was completely satisified with my new car and the entire experience. If all of your sales people are as good as he was to was comfortable and that I was completely satisified with my new car and the entire experience. If all of your sales people are as good as he was to me and as genuinely concerned with making my experience excellent, you have a winning combination. I will definitely forward any friends/family members to you dealership and to Ted if and when they are in need of a new or used car. More

Very easy purchase. Did not expect a great deal buying new model at beginning of the year and wasn't surprised. Drat! Mark was easy to work with, and so was finance guy, though by the time we got there I new model at beginning of the year and wasn't surprised. Drat! Mark was easy to work with, and so was finance guy, though by the time we got there I was done negotiating and did not want to hear about any more service or other options. Made that real clear and we moved on promptly with no more fuss, and I'm fine with that. More
On Dec 31, 2012, I went to Pacific Honda to purchase a used Honda Accord EX-L, I had been to a number of car lots early in the day so I was not in the mood for games or xx. However, I was greet immediatel used Honda Accord EX-L, I had been to a number of car lots early in the day so I was not in the mood for games or xx. However, I was greet immediately as I walked on the used car lot by Richard Inzunza, he informed me he was with a customer however, he would get another gentleman to assist me. Fred Beraud assisted me and showed me a number of cars on the used lot, I informed him of what I was looking for and he showed me the exact cars I was interested in. He did not show me cars with a lot of miles or try to persuade me to buy a car I really did not want. He actually listen he was very helpful and friendly. These two gentleman made my car experience a very pleasant one and I would recommend anyone who is looking to purchase a car to check out Pacific Honda and ask for Fred Beraud or Richard Inzunza. Thank you Fred, Richard and Pacific Honda. More
I have owned a Honda CR-V for 15 years and always received great service from the Pacific Honda service department. When it came time to replace my car, I thought I would give Pacific Honda Sales a received great service from the Pacific Honda service department. When it came time to replace my car, I thought I would give Pacific Honda Sales a chance. I had already done my research and knew I wanted a Pilot 4WD LX model. I also already had a quote in writing from another dealership (albeit a dealership 90 minutes from my house) for a price I was willing to pay. I stopped by Pacific Honda to see if they could match the price. So why did it take 3 hours to purchase a car when I already knew what I wanted?? Why did it take 3 hours to conclude the transaction when a a car with the exact specs I wanted was sitting in the lot? Bottom line: Everything you have ever heard about car salespeople I experienced at Pacific Honda. 1.) The Hard Sell - The salesperson was trying way too hard to sell me a car that I had already decided to purchase. She kept telling me that she would get me a "good deal". However, I didn't want a "good deal", I just wanted Pacific Honda to match the price I already had from another dealership. 2.) Let Me Talk to My Manager - The number of times the salesperson went back and forth "to see her manager" to see if he would offer me a "deal" was ridiculous. (Why couldn't the "manager" just come out and tell me what my options were? Why couldn't the sales person just take me to the "manager" so I could talk to him?) I knew what I wanted and I knew what I was willing to pay. Every time she came back with a quote there was always one more thing. They could offer me the car at X price, if I purchased the extended service package. They could offer me the car at Y price, if I purchased the security system. On and on and on went the litany of add-ons and each one affected the "base" price of the vehicle. Perhaps this is standard practice in the industry, but it is downright insulting to the customer. Consumers want to know what the cost of the car is - period. 3.) Don't Let Them Out the Door Without Signing - When I finally agreed to a price, then I had to wait to talk to financing (which was the only bright light in this whole saga. Dottie was fabulous. They should have Dottie on the floor selling the cars.) I had offered to pay cash and walk out the door with the car if it would get me a lower price, again salesperson unclear on what would get a better price. So...I meet with financing, but I have to wait, and wait, and wait. It is raining. It is getting dark. My daughter has been with babysitter for hours now and I am still waiting. Salesperson tries to fill the time by offering drinks, going over the owners manual with me, but she doesn't know very much so it is clear that it is a futile effort. Finally, I talk to financing. 4.) Financing - Financing was fabulous. Dottie was so knowlegable and was able to push me through the whole process and get me out the door in 20 minutes. She does the soft sell on products and packages I declined to purchase with the sales person, but Dottie actually sounded like she knew what she was talking about. I'm telling you, Pacific Honda, put Dottie on the sales floor, she knows her stuff. 5.) Bait and Switch - I was willing to buy the model on the lot (allegedly the "only" one in the model I wanted), but there were some accessories that came already added to the car -- wheel locks, mud flaps, cargo tray/liner, etc... so I had to buy the "extras" if I wanted that car. It wasn't that big a deal, except once I got it home and looked at it in the daylight I was hard pressed to find the "mud flaps". I looked on the official Honda site to try to see what the "mud flaps" look like except they aren't listed as an option. The cargo tray/liner is non-existent. I'll be going back to the dealership when it re-opens tomorrow to inquire about the "add ons" that don't seem to be there, however, given the track record so far, I don't have a lot of faith that I will be very satisfied with what they tell me. In the end, if you enjoy the haggling and the back-and-forth of negotiating, you might enjoy the car-buying process at Pacific Honda. For me, I am just grateful that I only have to buy a car every 15 years. I couldn't bear to have to go through this process again any time soon. More
