This was my first time buying a car from a dealership and it couldn't have been easier thanks to Amanda Vang and Val Norton. I think many women would often agree that car buying and auto servicing to be an intimidating and condescending experience. With minimal car knowledge I felt like I always am over charged or pressured, rather than actually helped. This was not the case at Buerkle Honda. I was helped right away by Amanda and she was so kind, helpful and patient with me. She gave me options on what works best for my needs, not what benefitted her the most. Val went right to work on helping me finance the vehicle, finding me the best rate through a credit union and explaining the loan and best way to tackle payments. It felt like for once the sales team had my best interest and wanted to make this experience great. I am in love with my pre-owned GMC Canyon and feel like I was able to get it at a fair price with terms I can manage. Also, the service team was also great in thoroughly looking over the truck to ensure everything was looking good. I would highly recommend this dealership for both buying and maintaining your vehicle! read more

My boyfriend and I were between 2 cars - one here and one at Ford down the street. We called before hand like we always do and the front desk lady was wickedly rude. When we arrived shortly later we also found out quickly she was racist. Car sales guy was nice. read more

Called them a week ago about warranty on a battery purchased from a Honda dealer in TX where original battery went dead after only two years. They called back the next day to say the warranty is only covered by dealership you purchased it from. What? Said this is how every dealer works. Not driving back to TX for a replacement! Bought new one from Costco who will replace anywhere! Plus a battery battery costs less! read more

To begin with one star is WAY more than Buerkle Honda deserves!! I visited the website "edmunds.com" to check out Honda Accord Hybrids and Buerkle Honda had a Honda Accord Hybrid listed at a price that interested me so I submitted my information on edmunds and immediately got a call from a salesperson at Buerkle Honda. I explained to him what I was interested in and I told him about their posting on edmunds.com. The salesperson pulled up the posting I was talking about and agreed that the posted price was indeed a good price. The salesperson then told me he had to consult with his manager and asked me to hold on. When he came back on the phone he told me that the dealership could not honor the price posted for the Honda Accord I was interested in. He claimed the posted price was an error.....REALLY? He said it was edmunds fault that the price posted was incorrect. I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe!! If anyone goes to visit the edmunds website you will see that when a car is listed many many details about the car are provided......including such information as the vin number of the car. You mean to tell me that edmunds can correctly post all other detailed information about the car correctly.....but they cannot get the price of the car correct? Yeah, right!! I guess the old bait and switch tactic are still alive and well in 2026! Of course the salesperson did his best and tried again and again to sell me the car at a price thousands of dollars more than it was listed for. I WOULD NOT TRUST THIS DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THE AIR IN MY TIRES....MUCH LESS BUY A VEHICLE FROM THEM!!!.....BEWARE! read more

I am normally gave reviews for restaurant for their food n service. Today I have to make an exception. My review is based on how disappointed I was with the customer services I received. First, it took more than 5 minutes waiting for a service agent to even acknowledge the fact that I have been waiting for rather longer than normal. No hi, hello or we will right back. I know they are busy (though a few guys were enjoying their breakfast instead of). Second, while waiting for an agent to process my car, I asked if my agent was around and he just brushed me off and said go talk to the receptionist. Wow, what a customer services Buerkle has become. Poor read more

Buerkle Honda WAS a great place to buy our first few CR-Vs. Unfortunately, our last sales and service experience was not great. Previously, sales helped pair cell phones, adjust the myriad digital options, and answer all our questions before we drove off. The last sales person didn't help with set up. "It's fine" When I asked for suggestions about the paddle shifters, "don't use them." 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid's first routine service today for oil change and tire rotation was awful. A promised a 75 minute turn around turned into 180 minutes. My first inquiry at 120 minutes was ignored. When I complained, the service rep, Eric, told me the car was ready 45 minutes ago and blamed me. Buerkle management needs to work on their customer experience skill set read more

Be upfront about repair costs and items that actually need replacing. I had my worst car repair experience ever! I went in thinking they would be a good place to have my Honda repaired, especially since it was covered by a 3rd party warranty. They found the problem which was a head gasket and started in on the repair. After 8 days they finally started the repair. They never warned me that doing this repair could result in further problems. Well, they had big problems caused by their technician. I got a surprise phone call telling me that the technician broke my turbo while taking the engine apart. They said something about it being fused to the metal and they had to break it to get to the head gasket. They said that I would have to pay for the overpriced new turbo otherwise I would have no working vehicle. It was over $2500. Then they said the timing chain was no longer serviceable and had to be replaced for another $900. My vehicle is only worth about $7000 but they basically had me over a barrel and I had no choice but to proceed. No warning about extra costs above the head gasket (which was covered by my 3rd party warranty). They ended up getting around $10,000 for the repair, which by the way took 29 days to complete and they were charging me $50/day for a loaner. My out of pocket costs were $4500. They rarely returned texts or calls and said something about the phone systems being upgraded. To make matters worse, my car now has an issue where it shake and vibrates at 35 mph and has a loss of power on acceleration. This wasnt happening before they worked on it. I took it back and they tested it and said they couldn't find anything wrong with it but would gladly do extensive testing for $185/hour. So they got $10,000 out of me and I have a sketchy driving car that feels like it could break down everytime I drive it. Im out the cost of the repairs and the value of the car because it has lost most of its value because it runs like crap now. read more

new review of buerkle honda: buerkle honda, vadnais heights, mn is such a scam stealership, yes, you read that right! not a dealership at all!!! spent tens of thousands of dollars since 1991 at this place, but in today's world, there is no such thing as customer loyalty when it comes to stealerships making money! and, they don't even hide their m.o. they must think all customers are stupid! transparency is not something buerkle adheres to in their business dealings! from many, many reviews i've read, they continue to rip people off, which is clearly what they did to us! if you ever receive a recall card from honda corporate, do not, i repeat **do nothing**! if you hop on board thinking you will receive a **free** service call ... think again. this stealership will do what they call an "investigative inspection" where they conveniently find all sorts of problems, a.k.a. fishing for things to be repaired that do not need to be done,or like our experience, they broke the ball joint and knuckle on our 2013 honda accord and told us, after they had the car torn apart, that we could not drive our car home, till they repaired it ... to the tune of $1,259.90 the next day. they broke that part and told us the problem was already there when we initially drove in, which was not true! we went in there for a free recall and came out poorer than when we went in! our usual automotive repair shop, in wbl, told us that buerkle violated: minnesota statute which states that repair facilities return old parts to a customer when asked, as they are still the customers property) - truth in repairs act (minn. stat. 32f.56-325f.66). they never returned the most important part for us to verify what buerkle told us. how convenient????? they knew what they were doing by not returning the parts and the stealership had the audacity to demand of us to have known that we should get our parts back. they don't realize the onus is on them (or maybe they do and disregard that!) to provide such! i could blast buerkle till the cows come home, but i think you get our honest review of this place! we will never return there and tell everyone we come in contact with, family and friends (we have a very big family ... and so on, and so on ... just how dishonest they are! every opportunity we get, we will do this!!!!!!!!! they literally stole our money ... and they know it! sleep well noah and ken anderson and all your loser so-called technicians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Bob M was great. Gave enough info, but no push. Overall a great experience. He found a nice discount and a reasonable trade in value.

Buerkle Honda White Bear! I have worked with this dealership for over 20 years. I have purchased a Honda Civic and three Honda Accords during this time. This dealership provides excellent, professional service! I totally trust their judgment, the dealership has integrity. Customer service has consistently been outstanding. I am an urban educator and noticed many diverse workers (which is very refreshing to see). This is the place to purchase your new car! I must give a shout out to Ken Anderson the service director for his guidance and professionalism. Andy another manager has also displayed excellent leadership skills. Thank You Taylor my service advisor whom I have worked with many times. I can be a tough cookie however, this dealership has never disappointed me. Janet Delmore read more

Are these licensed mechanics working at this place? I took my car in for a battery replacement. Four weeks later the brand new battery was completely dead, I had to jump it several times. I took it back to Buerkle Honda who installed the battery. They had to completely recharge it to check and see if it was a faulty battery. The battery test came back good so they said they needed to run a diagnostic test but the first available appointment was in three weeks. I then drove the car to the Richfield Bloomington Honda to have a diagnostic test that same day. It came back as a loose battery connector. Really?!? Buerkle Honda couldn't figure that out when they charged my battery or when they tested it? read more

I really didn't want to leave this review, but since the service manager/director chose to be rude and dismissive, here we are. I brought my car in for a recall repair. I was told it would take about 5 hours, but later that day I received a call saying they never even got to it. Fine--I appreciated that they provided a loaner. However, I didn't hear from them again for two more days, when they finally said the work was done. They sent a service report recommending immediate repairs, including new wiper blades--even though we had just installed brand-new ones the week before. That was the first red flag. When I picked up my car, the rear camera wasn't functioning properly. I brought it to my service advisor's attention, and his response? A casual excuse that "cameras go out sometimes." We asked to speak with the service manager and were told he'd call. The next day, we got a text saying he had left early--but we never heard from him again. Then things got worse. The next morning, my car started acting like it was about to shut off--even though it had a full tank of gas. This continued until it finally stalled completely. We had it towed back, thinking it might be related to the recall repair they had just done. The response? A call telling us it had nothing to do with them and that I needed a new motor. When we finally got in touch with the service manager/director, he was rude, dismissive, and disrespectful. He even made a snide comment about how many miles I had driven since the recall repair--sorry, but I had to take my child to critical medical appointments nearly 3 hours away. Am I not supposed to use my car for that? He repeatedly cut off my boyfriend during the conversation, talked down to us, and made it clear they were washing their hands of the situation. They're now refusing to do any further work on the vehicle, which at this point is honestly for the best. Just a word of advice: Treat your customers with respect. Don't assume people are clueless. And don't make personal judgments about someone's situation--especially when your own shop failed to deliver basic customer service and follow-through. read more

They fixed my car in a timely manner and the service was excellent and shuttle service was excellent. I will be a regular customer going forward. read more

Would not recommend this dealer!! My wife's 2020 CRV had the Turbo go out, which shouldn't have been a big deal because it was still under Honda warranty and we had extended warranty as well. They questioned that the oil maintenance was not properly completed, although they performed 3 of the 4, the last one we had done locally (with receipts). After weeks of waiting Honda chose to fix the turbo but not engine components that Buerkle's service recommended. Service guy basically said he wouldn't trust just the turbo repair, albeit to scare us so salesman could try and lowball us into selling it so we would buy new. Salesman ran numbers but conveniently forgot to mention our refund from Extended Warranty until I questioned him due to my own researching information (via WI Honda dealer). Hard to trust this dealer after above tactics and then to top it off we sent warranty cancellation to them one week after, 3 weeks later no check! Wife called multiple times to follow-up on the emails she sent and ;ow and behold they dropped the ball completing the paperwork. If i could give 1/4 STAR I would!!!!! read more

This was a great dealership to work with. Every step was super professional, from the test drive to the negotiating stage. They were open towards my opinions and feedback, which led to a positive outcome = purchasing a vehicle. I was very pleased with the customer treatment. Thank you for the non-stress experience. read more

We have an old Honda Civic that had an intermittent warning going off on it-we paid for diagnostic testing. They did come up with various scenarios to solve the problem with a $2549.40 cost to "fix" the problem (which might not have been a problem but sensor problem instead). They charged us for the diagnostic and were completely HONEST about the problem (not really sure what it would take to fix it). As a woman, I totally loved their transparency about what it would take to fix it and the honesty that they weren't sure exactly what was up. Let me be honest as well-we've had this Honda since 2012 and had very few repairs needed on it. read more

Went to have oil service. Maint. required light it kept coming on. so i reset it. So they told me would not change the oil. They told me to go back to the dealer i purchased it from. Advisor was very rude could care less. NEVER AGAIN. I will stay with BROOKDALE HONDA. read more

Took my car in at 8am for a recall work (recall 23V-704). Service advisor called at 4pm to tell me there was no work done on the car and it's ready for pick up. Why couldn't they have told me this earlier in the day? When I went to pick it they didn't have available "runners" so I had to make the run to get my own car while half a dozen service advisors sat and watched and none offered to do it. They also lied and said my car was washed, but it had dirt on it lol such petty thing to lie about! Here's the worst part: as I drove off the parking lot, my TPMS Light came on and it needed to be serviced. I'd never had this issue prior to dropping off my car at the shop. I called Buerkle right away but apparently they were closed and the operator said lights are off and no one is there as she could see on camera. Next available appt is two weeks out. Maybe I'll have a positive update then, but I won't hold my breath. Zero start for now. Also, this isn't my first terrible experience with this place. I should've known better. Avoid at all cost if possible. read more

The service department at this place is real problem, every time i go here this service writters are there to waste my time , i call everytime for a oil change and they tell me is ok to go for oil change, when i get there the service writers tell me a diferent thing , this time i went and this service guy name kyle Motschenbacher had me waitting there in their service area, "after 4 hours" he comes back and tells me with a bad attitude that they are not going to be able to do an oil change for my car because they are too busy and that i have to come back another time This guy is not profesional at all, he does not care for people's time I am done with this place !!! Do not go here, they waste people's time and their oil change is very expensive. Right after this bad experience with Buerkle honda service department i called Inver grove Honda right away they told me they can do an oil change and they will do it in one hour,much better experience and BUERKLE HONDA can not do an oil change in 4 hours and REAL BAD ATTITUDE AND BAD SERVICE FROM KYLE MOTSCHENBACHER read more

Had a pleasant experience purchasing a vehicle from Terry a few weeks ago. Ended up with a certified pre-owned vehicle that was on display in the showroom. There were a few minor defects inside that were promptly corrected before we drove off. The process was very straightforward, and I appreciated no BS from the sales team or financing. We are very happy with our purchase. read more

I had a bad interaction with Burrell service years ago and swore off the place. Due to their claims of change and proximity to my house I decided to give them another chance and was not disappointed. I had them install a hitch on my SUV. They were done early, the work was good, the price was as quoted. There was no run around, no crazy up sell. Just what I wanted. read more

One of the best Honda Dealers around the cities. The customer service is friendly and great! They take coupons from other Honda competitors, so be sure to scout around for coupons when you go in for service! The waiting room is excellent as well! They have coffee, snacks, plenty of seating, nice bathrooms, fast Wi-Fi and TV's! I wouldn't mind staying here for hours waiting for my car. I recommend this Honda location for your servicing needs! Check it out! read more

I came here to get my car remote cause I lost it! I went to the one in Brooklyn Park first and was told that they ran out of my car remote and was going to charge me $118 if were to get it, Luckily, he called around and found one in Maplewood. I drove all the way from Brooklyn Park. When I got there, the guy that helped me in the service repair department was very NICE AND HELPFUL. He charged me 98 bucks for the remote. I was glad that he charged me that price. People next time you need to purchase anything, search and call around first...you never know, you might find a good deal somewhere else :) Btw this place is very busy. read more

We recently brought our Honda back for regular service, not for repair. It needed a few scheduled things done that I didn't want to do myself. We bought it at Buerkle 4 1/2 years before. It had never been back because There was no reason. It had been trouble free. I was a bit concerned that I might pressured into service that wasn't really needed or required. I'm very pleased to report that was not the case at all. We were treated very well, were informed about everything they did and why. They gave us a very complete report on the car and what maintenance would be required in the future. Prices were very reasonable and the work they did was finished up in a very reasonable time. read more

Horrible experience! Used to go there pretty frequently and they were decent. But they did an overhaul on management. Very inattentive, and then rude. Employees just sitting around on there phones. I don't recommend! There's nothing special about their inventory or service. Can definitely find somewhere else read more

I really love this dealership. The service center staff is always calm, cool and so helpful when I come in for oil changes. They have a great (huge) customer lounge with lots of cozy seating and nooks and many different TV areas, tables, and even an impressive charging dock with multiple device charging cords. Free coffee and 6 different teas to select from, vending machines and nice modern bathrooms that always feel clean. I found out today during the week they even provide a shuttle to take you to various areas to go shopping or dinning while you are waiting for your car to be returned to you; which always comes back Sparkling clean from being washed! read more

Here is my review of my previous visit to there service department. Service on 2006 Honda Accord. Got there an hour early, no problem, took it right in. Work done timely, and what I paid was less than quoted. Very happy with the service I received. My only complaint is that the battery I had replaced was only 30 months old!! Was no prorated due to it already being a replacement for a battery that only lasted 36 months. Warranty goes from 1st battery purchased. I am kinda concerned that 2 batteries lasted less than the 100 month warranty on the battery. So did I get new batteries or refurbished batteries. No happy about having to buy a new battery. Otherwise it was a good visit! read more

Stay away from dealership. Classic bait and switch ads. Claimed that their internet pricing didn't say what it did. Then claimed it only did on one vehicle, not all the other identical ones. Their internet pricing showed all of the identical vehicles at the identical lower price, but once you are in the dealership they have as blocking content up so that you can't pull up the same ads. We were out and out lied to. Still waiting on the "second" key fob we were promised to receive. They said they couldn't locate it, but would mail it the next day. It's been almost two weeks. They put the wrong vin number on all documents that we signed, then changed all documents, including ones sent to state, without our signatures On the changes ones. Save yourself, don't buy from them. read more

I bought a used car form this dealer. I discussed with them a lift gate issue. it worked intermittently. My sale rep told me to take it to the Acura dealer that they could not work on it as a Honda dealer. I though this was odd. he did not put a time line on when i needed to do this. I took the car to the Acura dealer today and was charged full boat for the repair. I called and spoke to sales manager who told me nothing short of sorry you waited too long to get it repaired. I had this issue with the Honda dealer in Brooklyn Park - poor service so I have been avoiding Honda. I like the cars but not the sales/service. It is really a shame that people do not stand behind what they say and sell. Guess that is a lesson learned - an Acura is nothing more than an expensive Honda. Lesson learned. I would give 0 stars if it was an option. read more
