Dealership Sales Review

Awful - Discriminating
Written by Dr_Timmaraju on 08/11/2015

I went to test drive 3 vehicles (CIVIC, PILOT, ODYSSEY - booked the appointment online) on 30th July. I asked for the person who made the appointment but no one bothered to call that person or message them about my arrival. I had experienced the worst customer service ever. First I met with a guy named Ryan Hoey. When I told him that I haven't made up my mind on what vehicle I would buy, i.e., CIVIC/Odyssey/Pilot, since I have never driven Honda before, he refused to show me any, as he thought I couldn't afford to buy a Honda. He tried to scare me with the price tag of Honda Pilot, out rightly insulting me. It is very insulting and hilarious at the same time, for someone who used to owned two European cars (at the same time!) and a jerk thinks you cannot afford Honda. When I persisted on test driving 'a' vehicle, he coldly let me 'test drive' a Honda Odyssey in their parking lot. Until he saw my name on the screen with a 'Dr' in front, he didn't realise he was talking to someone who can 'afford' to buy Honda. Realising he messed it up, he called another sales guy, who was nice to me, at least salvaging part of the situation. I emailed my complaint to their general manager, who responded 9 days back saying that someone will call to fix the problem. I waited but no one bothered to call me until now, showing their lack of customer relationship management. I can only hope that their team learns to respect people NOT based on appearance but their affordability. I am buying a car from other dealers shortly.

Dealer Response
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this review for DCH Academy Honda. I regret that your recent experience with our dealership in Old Bridge, NJ was less than satisfactory. We appreciate you coming in to see us and your interest in the Honda Civic, Honda Odyssey and Honda Pilot, however, we are unable to allow anyone to test drive a car without a valid U.S drivers license. For insurance purposes a valid License is required in order to test drive. I would really like the opportunity to discuss this with you in further detail and try to make amends if you could please call me at your convenience at (732)721-3333. Sincerely, Joe Scardigno
