Best car of 2026

5 out of 5 starsby Vicky S on 07/24/2025

The new 2026 CRV EXL AWD is the best car I have driven in years. Smooth acceleration between gears, virtually no road or wind noise. The comfort of the seats is amazing in front and back, along with plenty of room between passenger and driver. I love the new heat and a/c vents, the power behind the fan is so powerful it cools and heats the car up very quickly. Special thank you to my dealer Jonas Severino. So knowledgeable, pleasant, courteous and professional thought out my whole purchase. He located a car with a specific color I was looking for in transit and it was delivered that night to the dealership. Went above and beyond to help me.
  • Vicky, we're so pleased our team provided you with a transparent and supportive buying experience. Thanks for giving a shout out to Sev for his superb assistance. We'd love to work with you again some day!

  • Oil change tire rotation

    5 out of 5 starsby Service appointment on 01/14/2021

    Service advisor was polite and courteous and work was performed on time. Price for service was reasonable
  • Great Service

    5 out of 5 starsby Babs on 01/12/2021

    Only 1 additional service was added to my original service request. The tire rotation was over due maintenance and they did not try to add on any others.
  • 2020 Honda CR-V

    5 out of 5 starsby Diane Robinson on 01/05/2021
    updated 01/12/2021

    I worked with Christopher Dollard at Lia Honda in Albany NY to purchase a 2020 Honda CR-V. Chris made the car buying process easy for my husband and me. He showed us the options of the car and how to use them. He was very patient with me as I usually do not enjoy the car buying process. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a car from Lia Honda.

  • Exceptional service

    5 out of 5 starsby Robert Smith on 01/06/2021

    Joe callicuci did a fantastic job explaining to me what I needed done and was so helpful and polite. He helps me with all 4 of my Hondas that I bring to to Lia and it is because of his knowledge and respect for me that I keep returning. He has a great personality and always makes me or anyone in my family feel welcomed. Thanks again Joe for getting the job done correct the first time and caring about my car like it is your own.
    • Robert, thank you for your continued loyalty to Lia Honda Albany. We are so pleased to hear that our exceptional service keeps you coming back year after year! We look forward to seeing you again when your Hondas are ready for their next services!

  • Quick and easy lease

    5 out of 5 starsby William Moran on 12/24/2020

    After seeing a Honda ad for a 2020 CR-V EX nlease, I went to Lia Honda. The salesperson Grant Little was very easy to talk with. He understood what I wanted and what I was willing to pay for it. After a few minutes of discussion he was able to give me the deal that I requested. I was totally pleased with Grant and with the car. I definitely would recommend him to anyone else.
  • Exceeded my expectations

    5 out of 5 starsby Lillie on 12/15/2020

    Erin Burke at Lia Honda took excellent care of me. I had an issue with another dealership and they went above and beyond to make sure that I left with more car for my money than I would have at the first dealer. My only complaint at all is to be prepared for the pushy Business Manager to upsell you...but that's at all dealers.
    • Thank you for taking the time to leave Erin this review! Erin will be honored to hear of your very kind words and to know how greatly you valued their assistance. We congratulate you on your new vehicle. Please let us know if there is ever anything more that we may help you with in the future!

  • My Honda Maintenance Service

    5 out of 5 starsby Linette Boone on 12/14/2020

    Ernest Walton was my service representative both times that I've had my new vehicle serviced. He was very pleasant and professional during the visit. I had a good experience!
    • Thank you for your review. We're happy to hear that Ernest made your service experience a good one. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

  • Steve Smith

    5 out of 5 starsby Margaret A on 12/14/2020

    Steve Smith was very understanding and pleasant to work with. I did not ask for a timeframe and the service required does not have a set timeframe, so that is why I responded no to that question. Service was covered by the contract I purchased when purchasing the vehicle so that was a plus. The car is usually washed after a service, but not on this visit due to the cold temperatures.
  • In Praise of Steve Smith

    5 out of 5 starsby Blu5pirit on 12/07/2020

    I've bought at least 5 cars at this dealership and brought all of them back for service. It's the quality of service that sells me the cars, and although there are other good people in the service department, Steve is the one I always hope will be in charge of attending to my car. He excels in explaining problems, often drawing pictures. This last time he took me back to the garage and showed me the brake damage. He is totally knowledgeable, trustworthy, and kind. Don't let him get away!
  • Repeat Customer

    5 out of 5 starsby George C on 11/25/2020

    I am a repeat customer and just purchased my fourth Accord from Lia. Worked with my sales rep, Enrique Lopez, and finance manager Brendan Shields. Could not ask for a better experience, great deal with no pressure. Look forward to buying my fifth Accord from Lia.
    • Geroge, thank you for your very kind review and loyalty to Lia Honda Albany. We are delighted that you have come back to us again and that your experiences with us have been so exceptional! We look forward to seeing you again when your vehicle is ready for its first service. Enjoy your new car!

  • 2020 Honda H-RV EX

    5 out of 5 starsby Matt Gage on 11/21/2020

    I had wonderful service at Lia Honda with Brett. Everything went smoothly and I love my new vehicle.
  • Lia lives up to its reputation

    5 out of 5 starsby Nancy on 11/15/2020

    When I decided to shop for a Honda, a friend recommended Lia because he had had such a great experience. He was right. My salesman, Grant Little, was excellent. He encouraged me to try out the car, but left me alone to test it. He answered all of my questions, but never made me feel pressured. I did buy the car, and Grant handled the entire purchase quickly and in a professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Grant and the Lia Auto Group.
    • Nancy, we appreciate you taking the time to write this great review. Painless and efficient visits are what we aim for, so it is pleasing to hear that Grant took such great care of you. Enjoy your new vehicle and we look forward to seeing you in the future.

  • Steve Smith is the Best

    5 out of 5 starsby 2012 Honda Crosstour on 11/13/2020

    Mr. Smith, in the Service Department at Lia Honda, has shown exemplary customer service to me repeatedly. All of the maintenance to my 2012 Honda Crosstour is performed at Lia Honda, and I only work with Mr. Smith pricing, scheduling, and having that work performed. Again, he is very customer service oriented and he "gets it" when it comes to satisfying me regarding the ongoing maintenance and service of my vehicle. He should serve as a model for Lia Honda Service Dept. training, and be a huge part of that training.
    • Thank you for your continued loyalty to Lia Honda Albany. We are so pleased to hear that our exceptional service keeps you coming back year after year! We look forward to seeing you again when your Honda is ready for its next service!

  • Great customer service

    5 out of 5 starsby S Coonley on 11/09/2020

    Joe Wiley at LIA Honda was great. I told him what I wanted done and that I needed to be out by a certain time. He had everything done and had me out even earlier than I asked. He was friendly and helpful.
  • Rob was great to work with

    5 out of 5 starsby Katie Howard on 11/04/2020

    I worked with Rob Dawes from Lia Honda. Rob was very easy to talk to and was very helpful with getting the best deal for me. I would recommend Rob at Lia Honda to any of my family and friends!
    • Katie, on behalf of everyone here, thank you for your thoughtful review. We appreciate your willingness to recommend Rob to others and look forward to an opportunity to serve you again.

  • Outstanding!!

    5 out of 5 starsby HQ on 10/31/2020

    The best customer service and professionalism I’ve ever received at a car dealership, special thanks to Christina Cahill, thanks for a great experience. She threw in a free car wash, guided me towards every step even to the lounge area, I felt like I was in a VIP heaven of dealerships. Also, thanks to Shawn, the salesman, who wasn’t too pushy in trying to sell a salesman a new car, the both of them made me consider coming back for a new car when I make it big time, insha’Allah (God-willing) 😉☝🏽 💰.
    • HQ, thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that the best service you have experienced has been by Christina and Shawn here at Lia Honda Albany! We look forward to seeing you again when it's time for your vehicle’s next service.

  • Ridgeline

    5 out of 5 starsby Mike H on 10/31/2020

    Went to Lia Honda looking for a truck. Took the 2020 Ridgeline RTL for a test drive. It was just what I was looking for. Wayne Balthazard did a great job of answering questions I had about the truck. Traded in my 2017 CR-V and was pleased with the value of the trade in. Thanks Wayne!
    • Mike, thank you for your time and feedback. We are delighted to hear that Wayne was able to work with you to get exactly what you wanted! Congratulations on being a new Ridgeline owner!
