Valley Honda

My wife and I have been shopping for a Honda Accord for a couple of months. We couldn't decide if we wanted certified or new. We went to the auto show to compare the Accord against the other competing models couple of months. We couldn't decide if we wanted certified or new. We went to the auto show to compare the Accord against the other competing models in that class and the Accord won hands down!!! We went to several dealers ( some good, others terrible) and during our travels my wife was having thought about a CRV instead. We got to Valley Honda and met Andy Kovalsky, (our salesman) and he let her drive both cars and explained the features on both cars. She still had a problem deciding, so Andy pulled them both side by side so she could make her comparisons easily. After thoroughly going over each car she finally decided on the Accord. Then came time to negotiate!!!!!!! I had some idea of what they were asking because I had gotten a quote earlier and I had shopped it around to multiple dealers. The problem was that the other dealers would not meet that quote and they offered me a ridiculous price on my trade in. After awhile, Valley Honda gave me a lower price than what I was quoted, and they came up substantially on my trade in. We didn't get a lot of pressure even though it was the last day of the month (most dealers try to use this as a way of meeting their sales goal for the month) and after meeting with the sales manager we finally came to an agreement on the price of the car and our trade in. My wife is extremely happy she chose the Accord even though she traded in a SUV and we were pleased with the deal we got. I would recommend Valley Honda and Andy Kovalsky to anyone looking to purchase a new Honda. I did a lot of research and this is where I ended up buying from. More

My wife and I visited Valley Honda in search of a new car as the Mazda we currently owned needed to be replaced. I have typically been apprehensive when buying a car from a dealership, as it is often a confu as the Mazda we currently owned needed to be replaced. I have typically been apprehensive when buying a car from a dealership, as it is often a confusing and aggressive process on the part of the salesperson. We were introduced to Joe who carefully went through the different options available to fit our car buying needs. Joe never pressured us to "upgrade" to a more expensive option, or ask us what do we want as our monthly payment. once we expressed our needs, Joe listed some cars we may wish to consider and then offered suggestions (no pressure) for us to select. He allowed us time to talk things over among ourselves and never presented the typical "sales pitch" that I have commonly experienced when buying a new car. We decided what we liked and then Joe listed the price of the car. I felt we got a GREAT price for the car and their was no need to negotiate or have the usual give and take which is so uncomfortable when buying a new car. Joe also followed up after we left to see if there was anything he might assist us with moving forward. This was the 6th new car I have purchased and due to Joe Barcelona at Valley Honda, it was the best car buying experience I have ever had. It far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely visit Valley Honda and Joe Barcelona for all of my car needs in the future. More

I wanted to mention this dealership and staff to anyone wanting a very special experience while buying an accord Allan was very cordial and very professional - along with Andrew who initially helped us wanting a very special experience while buying an accord Allan was very cordial and very professional - along with Andrew who initially helped us in 'nudging' us towards an accord instead of a Camry. Allan walked us through each step - he really knew cars !! Even though we initially were planning on getting a Camry - Allan actually sold us the idea on an Accord and actually made it stick !! Jab was an absolute pleasure to meet and we hit it off the second we shook hands - if they have a gem of a person on staff - that has to be jab because he made it as painless as possible in getting the deal we wanted , and helped us through each step- not to mention he is very knowledgeable and friendly Afterwards when we had the dealer installed options installed - they were so kind and professional that they found our cc and left it on on the seat - now that professionalism from the working staff really expounds their virtue as a dealership and well proved that they have honest hard working people All in all - kudos to then for a memorable car buying experience - and all the amenities at the dealership were a pleasure as well - who knew that one could borrow a charger and maybe a laptop while waiting at the dealership !!! Kudos again ! More

With having to purchase 2 autos in a short period of time, I called and spoke with Mohit Saini and he had Alicia Machen send out a brochure for the 2014 Honda CRV. I was replacing a 2004 Honda CRV (als time, I called and spoke with Mohit Saini and he had Alicia Machen send out a brochure for the 2014 Honda CRV. I was replacing a 2004 Honda CRV (also purchased from Valley Honda) after it was totaled in an accident. Alicia followed up and it took 2 visits to take the plunge and on February 8, I purchased the car. Alicia was very good at pointing out the differences between the models and giving me the information I needed to make a choice. Once again, Kurt Gonzalez helped out with the purchase of our 4th car from Valley Honda. On February 15, my husband and I brought our daughter into the dealership and she took test drives in different models with Alicia to decide on her Honda. We purchased a 2013 Honda Accord (it was a dealership owned auto, so we knew it was in great condition). Once again, we had Kurts help in the purchase. On February 28, when my son need to trade in his car, we made another trip to see Alicia and Kurt and all the great people at Valley Honda and purchased a 2014 Honda Civic. We know have 4 Honda's sitting on the driveway, a 2008 Odyssey, 2013 Accord, 2014 CRV and 2014 Civic. Guess you could say we are a Honda family. Being a CPA and having to purchase multiple autos during tax season is stressful but Valley Honda made it easy. We will see you in a few years to trade in the 2008 Odyssey, and we would rather drive to Aurora from Elk Grove Village to deal with Valley Honda. Great job! More

I am giving this dealership an excellent rating primarily because the 2 salesmen my wife and I dealt with were extremely knowledgeable. Their friendly personalities and straightforward sales talk made for a because the 2 salesmen my wife and I dealt with were extremely knowledgeable. Their friendly personalities and straightforward sales talk made for a smooth process. From initial car review, preliminary test drive, extended test drive and finally cost negotiations we were always treated with respect. The other sales managers, Jab and Mohit, were both friendly. They both stop over to talk a couple times during the process. More

I am recent college grad who was in need of a dependable car. I had been looking on and off since August of 2013. After negotiations fell through with the Honda dealership that my family had used, I decid car. I had been looking on and off since August of 2013. After negotiations fell through with the Honda dealership that my family had used, I decided to look elsewhere. So, I decided to send out a few emails during the night to some other local dealers to see if I could get the 2013 Honda Civic in the Crimson Pearl. Early the next morning Eileen of Valley Honda gave me a call; she provided a competitive offer and indicated that even though their dealership did not have the Crimson Pearl, she would look into seeing if they could acquire it. Shortly afterward, she said that they could obtain the car. I went into the dealership to talk about the process. My parents and I were blown away by the facility, how very customer friendly everyone was, how clean it was as well as how it had one of the more relaxing service waiting areas, complete with water and Starbucks coffee stations, as well as, Apple computers to use. At this point I was introduced to Cheryl and began working with her; she made the process run very smoothly. I decided to place a downpayment to hold the car and the dealership was able to quickly attain it. When the car arrived, I went with my parents to finalize the deal. Cheryl made sure there was very little down/waiting time, and gave us a tour of their great facility. After the deal was finalized she helped me with programing my phone and other gadgets in the car. I was very impressed with everything at Valley Honda and would highly recommend buying a car from them. To Cheryl and Eileen, "I just wanted to take this time to thank you personally for your help in getting me my first car. I appreciate your effort to get me a very competitive offer, and most important in locating and acquiring the 2013 Civic LX in Crimson that I have been looking for. You both have been very nice and helped the process run very smoothly from the beginning to the end and answered all my questions throughout the process. I really liked the car before I received it but now I love it even more and I liked that you took the time to help me set up everything in my car (and also helped my parents with theirs). When I got the call that I could pick it up yesterday, I was like a kid getting ready to go to a candy shop." More

I purchased a CRV here back in July and it was a great experience, everyone at Valley Honda is a pleasure to work with. I worked specifically with Dan and I can't even begin to cover how incredibly helpf experience, everyone at Valley Honda is a pleasure to work with. I worked specifically with Dan and I can't even begin to cover how incredibly helpful and kind he was. This was the first car I ever purchased on my own and I was definitely nervous about it, turns out there was nothing to be nervous about. Dan really listed to what I was looking for along with what I was willing to spend - and he helped me find the perfect fit. I never felt rushed to make a decision and he was very knowledge about everything Honda. Again, I can't say enough wonderful things about Valley Honda. Since July I have come been back twice, once for a minor windshield wiper repair and once for an oil change. Both of my visits were quick and the maintenance department was friendly and helpful. Also, on both visits I stopped by to say hi to Dan and we chatted for awhile both times - he really cares about Honda customers. I would highly recommend Valley Honda to anyone looking for a easy car buying experience. More

Valley Honda indeed is a great place for buying cars as they have large inventory of cars where in you would have options to choose for and most importantly they are willing to help and negotiate to get th they have large inventory of cars where in you would have options to choose for and most importantly they are willing to help and negotiate to get the price you are looking for. For me it was worth going to Valley Honda after driving more than 40 miles as I got the car I was looking for and was extremely satisfied with all proceedings that happened. I have been other places and could easily differentiate the professionalism and knowledge the Valley Honda team carries. Mario was my Sales Person for my car deal; He is very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and not pushy at all. He showed me exactly what I was looking for. He was patiently responding to my queries and was trying to understand my needs to provide me better options for cars. Mario I would like to thank you for all the help you have done in making my dream car come true. Overall a great experience certainly would like to do business in future as well and would recommend all who are serious about their car and specifics should definitely go Valley Honda More

I worked with Joe Barsalona on 2/20/2014 in the leasing of our new 2014 Honda Odyssey. This is my third Odyssey through Valley Honda, and I can say without hesitation it was our best experience! Joe com of our new 2014 Honda Odyssey. This is my third Odyssey through Valley Honda, and I can say without hesitation it was our best experience! Joe communicated with me throughout the day through e-mail asking me color choices and reviewing finance options. When I showed up to the dealership after work he had already pulled up two Odyssey’s with the color options I was interested in. I chose the color I liked the best (metallic blue), and Joe gave me the key, and I went for a quick test drive. While I was out on my test drive, Joe had my old Odyssey appraised and began finalizing the paperwork. When I returned we had a quick sit-down, I signed some papers, and then just waited for the Odyssey to be detailed. The entire experience lasted less than an hour-and-half. This was fantastic, because based on my previous experiences, I had planned on being there for a few hours. However, because of Joe I was able to make it home that evening at reasonable hour. I would recommend Joe and Valley Honda to anyone. More
