    1 Star I would strongly advise anyone considering Empire Nissan of Bay Ridge to think twice before doing business with this dealership. I canceled my Road Vantage contracts in November 2025 and was owed a refund totaling $2,044.73. According to the written cancellation confirmation I received from Road Vantage, the refunds were processed and sent to Empire Nissan of Bay Ridge on January 21, 2026, and the dealership cleared both payments on February 6, 2026. More than six months later, I am still waiting for my money. Throughout this process, I have dealt with Joel (salesperson), Dwayne (Finance Manager), and Reggie (General Manager). Instead of resolving the issue, I have been given excuse after excuse and constantly passed around without receiving a clear answer or my refund. Every time I follow up, I get the same runaround while the dealership continues to hold money that, according to the documentation, was already received and cleared. The email from Road Vantage clearly states that: Contract DAR03759044 refund: $858.73 Contract DAR03759046 refund: $1,186.00 Total refund owed: $2,044.73 Refunds were sent to the dealership on 1/21/2026 The dealership cleared both payments on 2/6/2026 Despite having written proof that the funds were received, Empire Nissan of Bay Ridge has still not paid me what I am owed. This is completely unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of professionalism, accountability, and respect for customers. If management truly cares about customer service, they should stop making excuses and finally release the refund that has been overdue for months. Until then, I cannot recommend this dealership to anyone. I have documentation and email evidence supporting everything stated in this review.

    Charles-wasn't dressed as Superman but might as well be -I asked a million questions and he answered all of them like a champ.

    The team at Empire Nissan of Bay Ridge is truely exceptional. A special thank you to Charles who was absolutely wonderful to work with. He listened to all our concerns, answered all our questions, and educated us on all the safety features for the car that we purchased. He sincerely worked hard and gave us the best price for our trade in. From start to finish he was courteous, prompt, and very professional. I would also like to thank Mike the sales manager and Dwayne from finance for taking the time to thoroughly explain all the numbers to us. If you are in the market for a new car, I highly reccomend stopping Empire Nissan of Bay Ridge and checking out their inventory-they are great to work with.

    TAKE YOUR VEHICLE ELSEWHERE! The worst customer service experience I ever experienced! I went in for a recall notice on my vehicle. Let me start with entering there chop shop looking garage. The most ghettofied and dirtiest garage I ever seen! I waited in line in my vehicle to enter this facility along with 5 other cars was greeted by someone who worked there who drove out a completed vehicle of the adjacent garage to go up a one way street. he beeps his horn as we are all waiting to go into this shit hole. He has the audacity and leans out of the vehicles window to ask me to move by having all of us back up on the one way street to park the vehicle in the so called parking lot under the BQE close to the makeshift homeless shelters! Instead of going around the block on the one way street he insists on us backing up the one way street to make his life easier! As he walks back I roll down my widow and said you couldn't go around the block instead of making us back up?! He laughs sarcastically I then ask his name, and with gangster style attitude he grunts and snuffs and says "Adam...I work here!" The only thing missing was him flashing a gang sign! With that being said I left without getting my car serviced at Bayridge Nissan I'll be going to another dealership!

    Made an appointment to check out a vehicle and they said it's not available, wasted my time. Bait and switch tactics is my guess.

I…read moredon't appreciate being pushed around or someone trying to force my hand to buy something . Thankfully after looking at some reviews I decided to check out ELDORADO and I met the wonderful Mark. Mark is like a kind uncle . He was patient, he was informative, and he was invested in me making the right choice for my lifestyle and my budget . He was never pushy like the typical sleazy used car salesman so I felt comfortable working with him. We found a car that worked for me and his team even handled all the dmv requirements so I didn't have to do that myself . I am so happy with my purchase . My family got a chance to meet mark as well and said if they ever are in the market for a car they would work with him in the future! I also want to note that after I bought the car I had a problem with my heat . I called mark and he was so apologetic and instantly called a mechanic who took care of it right away at no cost to me. Mark has called to follow up with me and ask about my family even though I already bought the car. He is a genuine person as well as the rest of his staff. I would highly recommend this dealer if you're looking for a good used car !!

My gripe however is that I'm not even in my second month from owning one of their cars and I've had an exhaust repair (if they inspected the pipes they would have seen the damage right?) luckily it was within the 30 days so the did cover that! But I didn't have to skip work so probably evens out the cost in reality. And now I'm staring down the barrel of a complete transmission replacement putting me $5000 out of pocket. By the way that's half of what the car cost! Fist time taking it into an interstate going above 65mph and the cars transmission fails. When a car You just bought, and after being assured it was running great! Has it's transmission fail, is a large kick in the teeth! I would advise anyone considering buying used, to seek a proper inspection at the car dealership before buying used. Do not take the people selling it on their word, as it can cost you big time. We were dumb enough to think we won't need the extended warranty. Maybe you should chip in for it. Better than being stuck with a $5000 bill I somehow have to find in the back of my couch. I really wanted to like this place but now I am just waiting for more things to fail with the car I'm now stuck with until it's paid up.

Unfortunately, after several awful experiences ,my most recent experience was so disappointing that I won't ever be returning. I came in with my own financing already secured. Despite that, I was strongly encouraged by sales person who I have been working with for many years to apply through Honda Financial Services instead. He stated that I would get a better interest rate. I was told my car needed to be Honda Certified in order to move forward with that financing, which required nearly $2,000 worth of repairs. After more than eight hours at the dealership, I was finally told that the Honda Financial Services loan was 4% higher than the financing I had brought in with me. Since I ended up using my own financing after all, the certification and the nearly $2,000 I spent turned out to be completely unnecessary. The entire process felt unnecessarily drawn out, exhausting and manipulative. Spending more than eight hours at a dealership for a transaction that should have been straightforward is unacceptable. I also did not have positive experiences with my salesperson despite working with him for many years. I simply did not feel I could trust him. One detail that stood out at the last visit was that his desk was elevated on risers so he sat towering over customers, which struck me as an odd, uncomfortable and comical dynamic. Finally, after the long day, I was taken into the back to a finance office to sign paperwork and was subjected to aggressive sales pitches for additional products and warranties. He used intimidation and scared tactics. The presentation made many of these add-ons feel mandatory rather than optional, creating an uncomfortable, high-pressure environment at a point when I was already mentally exhausted. I feel people who are not as adept as I am in car buying can be deceived into purchasing these add-ons. This review reflects only my personal experience, but after more than a decade of being a loyal customer, I left feeling misled and pressured rather than valued. There are many reputable dealerships where the buying process is transparent and respectful. If I were shopping again, I would look elsewhere. On the flipside my experience with Edwin at Honda Services for service and maintenance have always been great.

    PLEASE READ AND BE ADVISED! SHADY Update to review below…read more I purchased a vehicle out of state through Plaza Honda. I was very thorough in my questioning to Dan regarding condition. First red flag was that they did not know Honda's current CPO warranty that is offered nationwide and tried to tell me I'd get a different warranty Honda no longer does. Their f&i manager Omar was uneducated on the current warranty and blatantly rude even though I turned out to be correct about the warranty being longer than what they said. The vehicle arrived with quite a few undisclosed issues such as climate console damage, rear fender damage, exhaust trim damage, rear window shade destroyed and no clips to attach it to, and it desperately needed an alignment to name a few of this LONG list. This vehicle is Honda Certified but items checked for working or being assessed were quite obviously skipped. Makes you wonder if they're inspecting anything at all in there inspections or simply checking the boxes with no true inspection! BUYER BEWARE!! This does not meet Hondas requirements and they could be sliding on by with your "certified" vehicle too! I was very patient and sent images and quotes and waited 10 days for response from Wilson Mateo Manager before hearing back after countless calls and emails asking for an update on what they plan to do regarding these issues. I would call and no one was ever available, off that day, anything to not help! Never received a call back or apology from anyone. Got in contact with GM Saad Mirsa and was finally promised a resolution! I was patient and grateful and just want to be out of their hair and move on with my car and life... well Saad played the same old song, ghosting me and no help! I gave them a total of 3 months to make things right before feeling the need to review but don't let it be you!! They STILL haven't gotten back to me. Response here and there leading me on then ghost again for 7 days over and over again. SHADY SHADY SHADY! Sending this up the latter to Honda directly regarding a certified Honda dealer selling certified vehicles not being thoroughly inspected. UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: immediately following my bad review posted across all formats they did in fact send out the parts almost immediately(that they'd been "waiting for"). Paid the dealership near me to install and fix the issues. Rob is the best over there, their saving grace and gave me an apology and call right away. It shouldn't take a bad review to get what should've been done day 1 but they did ultimately do the right thing and take care of the issues and I am happy and in love with my vehicle now!!

There's a reason why I stopped dealing with "stealerships". I called Lenny Komsky and asked for advice. Not only did he take the time to try and get the car but when he was met with pushback(from the dealerships) he gave me the info needed to try and get the car I wanted from an out of state dealer. After calling a few dealers and giving them the numbers that Lenny told me the car should be selling at(much lower than what the dealers wanted), I finally got a dealer to call me back and agree to what Lenny told me the car should be at. The dealer than proceeded to send me the paperwork which Lenny asked for me to send to him to double check everything. Even though they made nothing on the deal, the Grand Prix team made sure I got the best possible deal and made sure everything was in order. I was even able to get the car delivered to my front door from a dealer close to 800 miles away for no extra charge. Again all tanks to Lenny and his team. I really don't know how to thank them for this. On top of all that, Lenny was able to get me out of my current Lease 8 months earlier so I can get the car I've been looking into. Mind you some dealers quoted me 800 dollars a month more than what I ended up paying for the same car.
