Fair pricing and I felt like they really went above and beyond to work with me as they knew both me and my mom are frontliners. This is the second Honda that my husband and I have purchased from DCH and I believe the 4th Honda the family has purchased from this dealership. I have no issues at all. Everything was on the "up and up". I felt like all the sales people were honest. Nothing felt "slimy" or "shady", and they were able to work with me to get me a beautiful new car that is perfect for my family since had "outgrown" the old one. read more

Stopped in to get some parts for my Honda. Originally talked to Justin over the phone who was very helpful with what I needed. When I came in I met Glenn in the parts department. Also super helpful and knowledgeable. Once I provided what I needed he got me parts. Fantastic customer service. I'll definitely be back. read more

DCH Academy Honda - Car Dealers Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

See all

I had a very disappointing experience with DCH Academy Honda in Old Bridge. I was in active email communication with a salesperson regarding a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime and scheduled a visit to see the vehicle. Prior to today, communication was frequent and responsive. When the online scheduler asked for my phone number today, I explained that I preferred to continue communication via email, which had been working fine. Unfortunately, no one contacted me to let me know the vehicle had been sold, despite knowing I was planning to come in. I drove to the dealership only to be told upon arrival that the car was no longer available. This was a waste of my time and could have easily been avoided with a simple email. Transparency and basic courtesy go a long way when customers are making the effort to visit in person. Based on this experience, I would recommend confirming availability very carefully before visiting. read more

I was sold a used vehicle with a clean car fax. Car fax and toilet paper have the same value. Brought car back when headlight stopped working they claimed they would not touch it because it was in a bad accident. My Body shop confirmed and dch Honda would not hear it. Lies lies and more lies. I have bought cars at dch for 25 years. Since Lithia has taken ownership it's a race to the bottom. Never again.2k in repairs read more

DO NOT BUY A SINGLE CAR FROM THEM!! They deserve ZERO STARS TERRIBLE!! Let me tell you how my husband and I go in to buy new cars. My husband buys his car but I Traded my Honda in. Myself and husbands car BOTH has many issues for brand new 2026 cars! My car had a huge scratch on the side, it was on and off ran that day, when giving me the car to see if I liked the color it was mid raining. After I got the car and was home it stopped and I saw a huge scratch on the side. THEY KNEW that was there. My husband's car had many scratches too, that they buffed out. They tried buffing mine out and my sales guy Alex says here gone. Meanwhile I look and still see this huge scratch. The car play on this CAR IS BUSTED, alll fucking HRV AND CRV DO NOT BUY BECAUSE THEY WILL SELL YOU A CAR WITH A BUSTED CAR PLAY!!! I take it to them to fix the CarPlay and they straight up made it worse!! Wont connect wireless at all, and wired it randomly cuts off and disconnects which is highly dangerous as I use my GPS a lot to drive. Then they have to take it to get the scratch out and I gave it to them with a full tank of fucking gas, only 290 miles on the car, I get my fucking car back with below half a tank of gas, and my miles AT 440! I never go into my back seat as I usually don't have a reason but that weekend I was putting my beach bag back there and I see MUD ALL OVER MY MAT AND ON THE SEAT. WHY WAS ANYONE IN MY BACKSEAT!!! They took my car for a joy ride and on top of this the scratch in the correct light you STILL CAN SEE. Brand new fucking car. They wouldn't offer me shit. They said either come back for the check of my old car which now I will completely lose out on the trade tax value I get for TRADING IN MY CAR! Or they said to take whatever they have on the lot. Which is insane I'm not buying a new car to not even get what I wanted!! So I head to another dealership to see if they had the car there, they didn't and told me I would lose out on the trade value. They call the eatontown one and tell them my issue, THEY FINALLY agree to give me a new car for all the trouble I have been experiencing with this car. I'm on my way there literally 2 mins away in wycoff road turning onto 35 and this lady HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. Let me start off by saying this wasn't even my fucking fault and Honda DARED TO SIT AND TELL ME THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME THE NEW CAR ANYMORE! ONE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER!! They owed me a new car from all the BULLSHIT they cause me by SELLING ME A FUCKED UP CAR TO BEGIN WITH!! I was 2 mins away from getting the car they owe me! and because some lady not paying attention hits into me now I can't?? I didn't cause that and IF HONDA SOLD ME A NORMAL FUCKING CAR TO BEGIN WITH ALL OF THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED! I'm DISGUSTING THEY GAVE ZERO SHITS TOLD ME NO AND TO BASICALLY LEAVE!!! Told me I should have been there that Friday to get my car check or get one car on their lot. Basically telling me I lose out on my trade which is the whole fucking point of a trade, and told me I can't get the car I would like, what the fuck even is that. They owed me a car for telling me a fucked up car and they made me leave without the new car and now I'm stuck with a car with a million issues that I spent so much money on. Mean while my husbands car has scratches all over is having tech issues as well, had stains on the seat and center console. Do not buy from them because THEY DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU AND DONT GIVE A SHIT IF THEY SELL YOU A FUCKED UP CAR. All their 2026 cars are a MESS!! DO NOT BUY BECAUSE THEY WONT DO RIGHT BY YOU!! read more

Athough I brought my car here I will no longer bringing it back for serivce nor will I buy my next car here. The time before last I gave them service coupons which they did not deduct and I had failed to remind them. This week I was aware of the past practice of not deducting coupons so I checked the bill before paying and once again the coupons were not deducted. After a bs excuse they bill was adjusted. What is worse is that they performed several expensive services that were unnecssary costing me hundreds of dollars extra. The management did not respond to my complaints. And they charge more than other dealers in the first place! But they do have a free coffee machine in the waiting room. read more

Bought a 2020 Suburban Premier here in December of 2024. Got it home and took it to the local Chevy dealer. What they found was truly astounding. Shot transmission ( hence the grinding noise on the way home), blown front shocks ( out of nitrogen) and a bad power train. Now the bad part......THEY HAVE THE VEHICLE LISTED AGAIN ON THEIR WEBSITE AND IT IS ON THEIR LOT. Read that again folks. DO NOT BUY THE 2020 SUBURBAN PREMIER that is gray in color. To their credit they did take the truck back ( obviously) and gave us our down payment and trade in back after threatening legal action. Be smart people. Read the reviews. read more

Absolute most unprofessional and disgusting staff. I was sold a lemon 2014 Audi s4 with problems on day 1 that were not disclosed. After bringing my car home, next day I got a error for low coolant, this fault persisted even after adding coolant. The vehicle came with a faulty PCV valve that cost $4,000 at the Audi dealership to repair. After multiple attempts of trying to get the dealer to take responsibility for it, considering the problem was there when the car was sold to me, I was told that it was my problem because I bought an old German car. The Salesman Robert told me "for all I know you could've took the car on the highway and did 100mph" and shifted blame on to me. After weeks, of going back and forth, basically being called an idiot teenager for buying an old German car and that I had to deal with it now, they decided to have me drive the car all the way from my home to their dealer so they can "check it out", which is about an hour away by the way, while the vehicle has a problem that can become catastrophic if not fixed quickly. They took it to Audi and told me I need to pay 4 grand and they will pay the rest. So I decided to speak with the Audi dealer myself, and they actually told me the entire repair was 4 grand, so they tried to make me pay the full amount and act like they were helping? After pointing this out to them they decided to only make me pay 2 grand, which is still insane since this problem happened THE NEXT DAY after taking it home. I also want to note that wasn't the only problem with the car, the motor mounts were bad, control arms bad, rear main seal was leaking oil and that trip they forced me to take all the way from new York to new jersey caused more coolant to leak into the oil of the car ( which was the first problem that I spoke about above) causing lubrication of the engine to deteriorate and ended up causing my timing chains to need to be replaced ( this was a 5k repair out my pocket). Could this have been avoided if they just took care of the car in the first place? Probably. SO don't believe their bullshit "180 point inspection" or whatever lies they spew, they're lying. If you decide to end up buying a car from here anyways, which you absolutely shouldn't... make sure you bring a mechanic with you to at least check the car out. Just save your trouble with these people and their nasty tactics... Absolutely no sympathy and money hungry. read more

Terry Bhatia is our go-to for all things Honda. He is so patient and treats us with respect every time we ask for advice. He also takes the time to go through different options and works diligently with others to make sure we are taken care of. Thank you Terry for all your help and hard work! read more

I am updating my review to report that last week a manager from the dealership called me and apologized for what had happened and offered to pay for the new tires. He seemed very sincere about not wanting to put people on the road with bald tires and I am satisfied with the outcome. Thanks, Joe. read more

This place looks impressive from the outside even though it sits very close on Route 9 and is easy to miss. We went in recently looking at a pre-owned truck we were interested in purchasing. While our saleswoman Amber was very nice, it was clear she was young and inexperienced but we were ok with that. Everyone starts somewhere. We decided to purchase the truck and went through the usual paperwork. However, when we were on the phone with our insurance company, the janitorial service started vacuuming the area rugs which made it impossible to hear our agent and we had to walk outside to finish our call. I would suggest the cleaning people do their work off business hours because it's really hard to talk to your bank and insurance company on the phone when someone is vacuuming, especially considering the showroom has a noisy echo effect. It would have been nice if an employee told us there were complimentary beverages and snacks at an out of the way location considering we were there quite a while negotiating this cash purchase. Also, employees were allowed to charge their cell phones in the showroom which was clearly meant for customers. Because the dealer wouldn't accept our personal check, we had to come back the next day with a certified check which is understandable, considering we were paying cash and not financing the truck. Upon our return the next day, we noticed two chips in the windshield that we didn't see the day before and asked them to fix it. Here's where the fiasco really begins. They told us to bring the truck back on Tuesday at 10 am to have the windshield fixed. Mind you this is a two hour round trip. We get there and the employee tells us the glass guy comes on Thursdays. So off we went back home with a gratuitous half tank of gas on them. Ok people make mistakes. In the meantime, we are waiting on a time to bring the truck back on Thursday. Finally received a text message 9 pm on Wednesday night to bring the truck back in at 10 am on Thursday. I found it strange that they only text and don't call you directly but the place employs very young people so I guess it's just the generation. We get there Thursday morning at 9:30 and Alex, the one handling the appointment, tells us to pull up next to a van in the parking lot. So we did and waited our turn and suddenly the van pulls away and leaves. When we questioned Alex, he thought we were there for a key even though we communicated the night before, and he told us we should have been there earlier!!! He told us to be there at 10 to get the windshield fixed even though this van was for keys. What a cluster f$&k! It got nasty so we left and still don't have the windshield fixed. We actually got a call directly from the glass repair guy who agreed to meet us at the Freehold Honda Dealer which still hasn't happened. Do yourself a favor, and pick another car dealer to do your business. This one is poorly managed. read more

I hate this dealership. I have never had a positive experience here. Ever. I tried buying a new car, and no one would help me. Went to Edison and walked out with a car that day. I had a recall on my car. Came here because it's close to home. I knew it was a bad idea, but what can you do. Dropped it off at 9:30 am and said I need it back by 3. Guess what, they're just doing it now and only because I called to see what's going on. No one responds to texts. And when I got there, the guy acted like I was the problem. Buddy...you had my car all day. This is a 30 min fix. The problem here is if you stay with your car, you'll be there for 3 hours minimum. If you say you're leaving it, they won't touch it until that evening. Why bother with appointments? Why not first come first serve? I bought a car from here in 2012 and the service department hasn't improved since then. They renovated it, but it's like that saying about lipstick on a pig. Looks better but is still badly run. read more

Follow the letters - - D.C.H. stands for "Don't. Come. Here." Bait-and-switchers, high pressure, fast talkers, con men. They tried to sell me $12,000 of crap I didn't need. Extremely unpleasant experience. read more

I was disappointed. The sales rep at first was very unprofessional. On his phone, at the front desk. I didn't like his tone when I mentioned I was looking into pre owned or new. He cut me off and said it will be a long process if I didn't know which car I want. When I was just starting my statement to say I'm trying to get a Ridgeline or accord. Wasn't having the feeling I'd like to pursue any deals with him. Granted that the deal was way off than I expected. Understandable my bank screwed my pre approval. The finance guy who came to me, was very polite and I appreciate that he took time to explain to me about the offer. Not make me feel that I'm not worthy to step in the store. Needless to say that my previous experience in Open Road Honda Edison was overwhelming great and I had a previous CRV and Accord from that dealership. I figured since I moved to closer to old bridge, I'll try DCH. As I've said I'm disappointed and will not be coming back. read more

Rude, disrespectful towards my husband and myself. Because we didn't have a perfect credit rating we were treated unfairly. Johan and Megan weren't very nice and other dealerships told us they were wrong the way they treated us and that they were "lazy, and didn't want to do the work for the deal." We would not recommend this dealership. read more

5/28/2024 /Purchase of a 2021 Ford Shelby GT500, $133,000 with interest/tax/fees: Again, Mr. Peter Modzelewski, sales manager, I see that you do not have intentions of keeping your promises, nor will you abide by the guarantees that are provided to your customers by your company. The amount of out of pocket expense that you are requisitioned to pay is $553 for the defective tire and $230 for the wheel scrapes, which is a total of $783. I assume that you will honor this request as agreed upon in your previous email to me. If the check isn't received by me shortly, I will visit your dealership directly so that you could tender the payment directly to me. (check never sent). read more

DCH Academy Honda - Here's the proof they're purposefully overcharging. - Car Dealers Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

My husband and I purchased a 2018 Mazda cx-5 on driveway.com through this dealership. When we received the vehicle, the engine was smoking and leaking oil. We immediately took it to a professional mechanic where they then diagnosed that the vehicle has a blown head gasket and would need a whole new engine. DCH Academy Honda is trying to say that the reason the engine is smoking is due to "residual oil" left from a head gasket cover fix they did back at the end of April. The mechanic told us that it's obvious DCH academy Honda tried to put a "bandaid" over a much bigger issue. DCH Academy Honda is refusing to give us back our shipping fee after receiving a vehicle that isn't even safe to drive. We left their team a message and they are ignoring us. BEWARE OF THIS DEALERSHIP. My husband and I have pictures and videos with time stamps from the very day that we received the car proving that we received it this way. We will be contacting Better Business Bureau to file a complaint about this business and if DCH Academy Honda continues to ignore us we will be taking legal action as selling a vehicle in this condition is against EVERY consumer law. Honda should be ashamed of this place. read more

Left my car there for a multipoint inspection and to inspect some "rattling" noises. Came back saying I need an entire new exhaust system, radiator, and changing out brakes for like an absurd amount. Ended up going with the "cheaper" option, which was just doing brakes. Charged my $2300 for breaks and calipers which is like double typical price. Then when I brought up a recent recall, they "accidentally missed it", which could have explained the other insane repairs they recommended. Deceptive business practices and unfair pricing, yeah, 1 star. read more

My son was looking at a Honda Insight at this dealership. I guess class and good customer service doesn't exist here. My son had a 2pm appointment. I guess they saw my kid and looks like he is not going to buy a car. So they made him wait for 30-40 minutes. The walk-in takes priority and doesn't honor their word with the appointment. My son unfortunately had to deal with this salesman Daviti. He is very rude and unprofessional. By the way my son was treated. After the test drive, he was talking to my wife to discuss the breakdown of the cost of the car. My wife questioned some of the extra cost and from that conversation. He hung up on my wife and walked out on my kid without a single word. I tried calling the dealership service manager and tried to express my concern about the incident. He said he will speak with Daviti about his behavior. The conversation I had with him seems like nothing is going to be done and he was even trying to justify his worker's attitude. We deal with dealerships from Land Rover to Tesla and we never had this experience. I don't know what's going on with this dealership but I hope the owner of this dealership is aware of the people they are hiring and the level of customer service they are providing. This is the worst dealership that we ever dealt with. The company needs to have training about providing red carpet treatment to every customers that walked in to their place of business. They are customers and a human being and not just a number at the end of the month. read more

DCH Academy Honda - How a 30k car turns into a 43k car. Always ask for a breakdown before buying a car if it makes sense. - Car Dealers Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

As far as the service department.... I had some repairs done off of a recall. I asked if I can get the radio code put in to unlock the radio as well as the actual radio code so I can use it if need be in the future. I was told they could not unlock the radio because they needed to retrieve the serial number and it would be $200 to pull out the radio and get the serial number off the back of the radio. This didn't sound kosher because in the past I've gotten radio codes over the phone from Honda. I searched online and found that there is a code (radio serial number) on a sticker in the glovebox. With this code and vin number I was able to get the radio code for free in less than 2 minutes. Service department also sucked because they never did a multipoint inspection. I had to stop at the wawa to properly air all tires. And put in windshield washer fluid. Sucky service. Bringing my Hondas to another dealer from now on. read more

These associates don't listen. Came in for emergency service for a tire. When I returned home I realized the services that I paid for were not completed as stated on my paperwork. Returned to have the services completed, to be lied to about the service being done the way it was initially stated on their paper work. Two trips, two days, and about 6 hours of my time was wasted due to the inability to listen. I am a first time and a last time customer of DCH Honda. read more

I very highly encourage anyone looking for a vehicle to stay far away from this place. I purchased a 2018 BMW X4 from them over a month ago, they claimed the vehicle was in good working condition and that nothing was wrong wellllllll I shouldn't have been so naive. I got the vehicle and lo and behold the display for the vehicle which the idrive system works with that controls Navigation, Bluetooth, USB Devices, backup camera; safety features and a lot more is completely shot. BMW paperwork the dealership shows the system had been shorting out for quite some time before I ever received the vehicle. When I brought this up to Peter Modzelewski, the used car manager he at first tried to of course say it worked fine when it was there, the typical bs answer. Then said it's not anything they would've seen on inspection when clearly on their point inspection paperwork it says that it's one of the main things checked. Peter tried to help by taking the cheap way out by looking for used parts at a non-bmw dealership for the low to replace this and he couldn't find anythingThen he told me he would cut a check for $1000(the job at BMW to replace this is almost $5000) or I can to take it 4 hours away to be replaced in which I asked for reimbursement on gas and a ride back home if I was gonna do that and he said he was checking with a higher up. Guess what? He never got back to me and now he ignores all of my emails I send. I even emailed the general manager Joseph Lepore multiple times and he never reached out to even acknowledge. I'll update this post with what they both have to say when they eventually read this post and try to remedy the situation after being called out. DO. NOT. PURCHASE. YOUR. VEHICLE. HERE. read more

Buying used cars is a major hassle on the best of days. The inevitable haggle, with all sorts of hidden fees and charges makes it a trap for the unwary, or certainly for folks who lack patience. That said, this Honda dealership is first rate, and one of the few with hundreds of certified pre-owned, late model Honda's in stock -- selling for less than average Carfax, Edmunds and Kelly blue book pricing for the car. The internet shop makes it easy to check inventory. Kelly and Carfax history for every car is available online and you can create a wish list of cars using online filters. Most of the inventory consists of lease returns and many of the cars were originally bought and serviced here -- so service records are available too. We worked with Carlos Andino -- an extremely polite and knowledgeable sales associate -- with deep experience in new and used cars. Did my homework online first (recommended). All the models I picked had one owner and were Honda certified, late models, low mileage and no accident histories. Tough to go wrong with those choices. Carlos is straight up and honest, he delivered exactly what he promised and negotiated with us -- after spending many hours showing us all sorts of inventory and test driving several different models. Despite a snag with the finance guy while doing our final paperwork, the manager intervened and gave us the deal promised us by Carlos. In other words, management stands behind the sales staff. Says a lot for their integrity. No bait and switch here. If you are looking to buy a clean used Honda at market pricing or lower, see Carlos at this dealership. He will hook you up. Good experience. 5 stars. Top Tip: The internet staff is very responsive (thank you Lisa). Make your test drive appointments and confirm stock online. Very efficient. read more

When I entered, I stood for about five minutes before someone acknowledged me. This is was only bad experience I had and the reason for four stars. Other than that, I have experienced outstanding customer service. Jenna was my advisor and took great care of me. Hardy was the mechanic working on my vehicle. When I was walked to the garage by Jenna, I met Hardy. He explained everything that was going on with my car. He was extremely nice and was patient with all the questions I had. He also gave me a courtesy wheel alignment because of my stressful car situation. I will definitely be coming back here and will only have service done to my car through this DCH Honda. read more

I recently purchased a "previously owned" 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid at this dealership. In retrospect, I definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who's looking for professional (and respectful) Customer Service. I'm guessing this "attitude of indifference" starts at the very top; but the Sales Dep't. is certainly in need of an "attitude adjustment." From the initial "bait & switch" tactics (the vehicle I drove 45+ minutes to look at "was no longer available;") to their 'less than ethical' negotiating process; and "SLOW TO NO" follow up (immediately after purchasing a $19k vehicle), these guys proved to me "they really don't give a $hit!"... about their customers! The final straw that motivated me to leave this negative review was the 1/4 (one quarter) tank of gas they sent me home with, after we finally consummated the deal. To add insult to injury, the General Sales Manager, Adrian Acosta 1) promised to reimburse my wife for her first tank of gas, 2) told me to email him the receipt (which I promptly sent,) and 3) never bothered to send us a check, even after I followed up to remind him! Obviously, a cheap, chicken$hit move after just spending $20 grand @ DCH. Finally, when I showed up a few weeks later to pick up my new license plates (I had to call them to inquire about the plates), my "sales guy," Marcus Small, didn't have the common courtesy to step out of his little cubicle to personally greet me, hand me my new plates, and shake my hand, or even to thank me for the business! That's what I would call "Bad karma!" There are so many automobile options, available. Would you do business with a car dealership like this? read more

DO NOT GO HERE. BUYER BEWARE. They are completely unprofessional, predatory, and have no transparency. If you ask them direct questions they will lie to you if it benefits their bottom line, and gets you out the door. They will double/triple down on the lies, and be defensive if you bring discrepancies to their attention after you leave. Instead of attempting to defuse the situation, and find a solution. At least in the case of my sales person. If you do a lease trade in they will sell your trade in vehicle to make money before sending a lease buy out check, or contacting your former leasing company in any way. This leaves you still financially and legally responsible for a vehicle no longer in your possession. They certainly won't inform you that they intend to sell your lease trade in vehicle before actually facilitating the transfer of the trade in. Once you're out the door, and realize what's happening they'll tell you on the phone that the lease buy-out check just takes some time to be sent, and redirect you to a finance department voicemail to get more information. They won't call you back if you leave a detailed message. This was their response and course of action without me revealing I knew they were actively selling my trade in. I was curious if they would be up front, and transparent. They were not. Ask IN WRITING how they intend to facilitate your trade in before you're out the door. Otherwise, you're stuck being legally responsible for 2 cars until they find a buyer. Luckily for me they sold my former vehicle in just less than 2 weeks (something I'm sure isn't always the case). A day after the listing for my trade in disappeared from the web my former leasing company said they had received the buy out payment, and odometer statement. All information obtained through my own due diligence. No transparency. Moving on - During a sale they won't even discuss the option to transfer your plates from your old passenger vehicle to your new one. Something I have always done. If you do happen to question about transferring your plates they will lie to you in order to avoid the extra paperwork, and potential loss in revenue they can sometimes gain by doing new plates. I was told transferring plates wasn't even possible because the new car was in a different weight class than my previous vehicle. NOT TRUE. They're both passenger vehicles. Don't fall for it. I was told all paperwork would be emailed, and physical copies would be sent to me. They gave me no documentation before I pulled away. I was told it would be emailed to me. I had to follow up a week later, and go through multiple email exchanges to receive ALL the documentation. They flat out ignored me when I followed up in the same email exchange about being mailed physical copies. Honestly, I didn't ask or want physical copies, but don't offer something at the point of sale you never intend on doing, and don't flat out ignore the question when I follow up. Now nearly a month later they tried to charge me an additional $114, and strap me with the UPS fees to send me my new plates, and registration. Reasons for the extra registration fees included but were not limited to 'DMV shortages'. Shortages of what? No answer. They then pivoted, and tried to tell me that it was because I only paid for license plate transfer fees at the time of my sale. Something I explicitly asked for at the time (as previously mentioned here) and was told wasn't even an option. Of course, at no point was there an offer to send me documentation to reflect proof of the additional fees they were requesting. As soon as I pushed back on these additional fees, and UPS mailing charges they almost immediately agreed to 'waive them.' What does that tell you? I think most people understand when entering a car dealership that they are trying to get the best deal for themselves. However, there's an honest way to do it, and a wholly deceitful, and predatory way to get a 'customer' out the door with a sale. This dealership said they didn't care about online reviews, but I hope this helps the next person. read more

I recently bought a 2022 Suburban Premier from them. Before I drive 3.5 hours to purchase the car I asked for all the service records which they emailed me . When we left the fuel light was on. My husband had to put 67 dollars in the tank to fill it and another 5 to put air in the tires because they were low on air. When I got home I realized it was not driving right. I called their service department and they had no record on anything that was done to the car. I immediately took it to our Chevy dealer where we normally buy all our cars. They put it in the lift and told me the transmission was shot and so were the front rotors. I called the dealership so another 3.5 hours I spent in that car which the service manager told me he wasn't sure if I would make it. I got my 2022 Equinox back. And my down payment which was large took 10 days to get back to me. They said it has to go to Wisconsin and to then before they could mail it. The odd thing was the check came from Old Bridge not Wisconsin. I was also told I would receive the money for the fuel for what we had to put in the day we bought the car because their fuel cards were off and I would also be reimbursed for taking it in and finding out what was wrong with the car which I never received. I spoke to Matt who was very rude. Someone like that should not be working with the public. He told me I was lucky he took the car back. I said I had 1000 miles to return it. He also stated that his wife wouldn't have to drive 3.5 hours to purchase a car. Who is he to judge what a person makes. What he doesn't know is I make more in one night than he originally makes in a week. He was very unprofessional and did not want to deal with me. I have all the paper to back up what has happened. I left a review on their page and they removed it immediately. I will be contacting the local news station. As soon as I returned the car they put it back on the lot and listed it for sale knowing what is wrong with it. I do not want someone to go through what we did. Stay away from this dealership!!! read more

DO NOT BUY A USED CAR HERE. I was sold a complete lemon. At the time of purchase I asked to take the car to a local mechanic to have it checked out independently, and the salesman Darren told me that was not allowed. He said that it has been through their service department multiple times and that if anything major was wrong with it, they would have found it. He said this is not some small-time used car dealer, this is DCH Academy Honda, a major dealer. He said they would not sell it if it was not in good condition. Boy, do I feel stupid. I took the truck (2004 Nissan Frontier) to a mechanic recently because of a funny noise when turning. After looking at it, he was astounded that a reputable dealership had sold it to me. He said the following were major issues that it was very unlikely had all happened in the few months since I bought the truck: - extensive rust damage - severe power steering pump leak - faulty driveshaft carrier bearing - very leaky rear main seal - oil pan very leaky and very rusty I grew up in the south where rust on cars was not a major issue, so I specifically asked the dealer about the rust level since I did not have any gauge for how bad it was. They told me it was very minor and was in very good condition for a truck of its age. This is not what the mechanic said. When I called to talk to the dealership about this, to give them a chance to handle it with integrity, they responded extremely defensively: basically, "you bought it as is, so is there anything else I can help you with?" I hope someone from DCH will reach out soon to make this right, but I'm not holding my breath. Buyer beware. read more

Kudos to DCH Honda of Oldbridge for a great buying and servicing experience. Had a minor problem with a newly purchased used Civic. The problem was immediately taken care of with no questions or hesitation. Sales Consultant Tyler did an awesome job negotiating the deal/price. Sales Director Christoper Mazzeo understands how to take care of a customer and had great words of wisdom I overheard for his sales staff, during a sales meeting. The financing was handled with the same professionalism. I know I made the right choice buying my vehicle here. I can't speak for the rest of the staff, but Tyler and Chris have earned and won my respect. read more

Reported sluggish starts so they did some tests and replaced the alternator for 800 some dollars. Unfortunately I was in a hurry to head out of town for a month with the car (which still had sluggish starts) so did not drive right back in to tell them the $$$ alternator hadn't fixed the problem. Yesterday I had to get towed because not even AAA could get it to start, but given my feeling that DCH just replaced the most lucrative item in the starting sequence, I had it towed to the local guy. And in reading other reviews I see lots of disappointment with each of service, new car sales, internet sales, used car sales....and a lot of apologies. But it appears closer monitoring of processes is in order internally read more

DCH Academy Honda - Car with brand new alternator - Car Dealers Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

I will not go back to this dealership. Waited a month for my plates and registration I even called a few times to check. At the last minute come to find out they had my husband registered to my care and a phone number that was not mine. And everyone please check all of the unnecessary add on fees. They charge $400 to have car washed and would not sell the car without it which I know is a lie. No wonder I always stuck with Toyota read more

DCH Academy Honda NJ service center is dishonest, takes advantage of customers and lacks the knowledge of Honda Service bulletins (Recalls). They also send customers with issues around in circles with calls that are never returned! I have a 2018 Honda Civic and my AC blew out warm air. I Initially took the vehicle to dch academy Honda on 5/18/21 for service to fix the AC. I was charged $173.08 for a diagnostic. It was discovered that the condenser was leaking. Their service technician Jenna stated my vehicle was NOT covered under warranty which would cost me $1044 plus tax to fix. I declined the service due to the cost. But was required to pay the diagnostic fee. After getting home I researched the AC issue online myself. According to Honda Bulletin 19-091 there IS an extended warranty due to the AC Condenser leaking as long as it isn't damaged from an outside source. I contacted DCH academy Honda. I spoke with their service manager Steve who informed me he would call me back with a good will consideration decision and I may have to pay up to Half of the $1,044. In which I didn't even need as I shouldn't have to pay a dime because my car IS covered. We waited for 2 weeks suffering in 90 degree weather driving my 4 year old autistic daughter to school and therapy. I called and left messages. Never got any response. I realized I would get NO help so I contacted The Honda dealership where I purchased the car. It is 1.5 hours away but they said they could help. On 6/8/21 I went into The Honda Dealership where I purchased the car and my car was fixed no charge as it indeed was covered under extended warranty. DCH Honda is dishonest, broke my trust and lacks the knowledge of Honda Service bulletins. Why aren't they aware of recalls for the vehicles they fix day in and day out!! I deserve to be refunded the egregious diagnostic charge of $173.80 as it IS covered under the extended warranty. I am a single mom who's money is precious and and shouldn't have been taken advantage of in this manner. I will never return to DCH Academy Honda! read more

DCH Academy Honda - Warranty Extension my car was covered under. - Car Dealers Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

See all

I went through hell at this dealership. Long story short: I was told several different stories about refunds and recieving my title. I had to email the GM twice. I had an ongoing conversation with the head of the department for over 4 months. I didn't receive a refund after being reported I would for paying and handling my own taxes after they could not obtain my documents....long story shorter: Don't Go Here or Buy with a Lawyer. Oh I refinanced my car for a much lower rate then what was given to me. read more

I got a quote from the dealer for $5500 plus fees for the car I was interested in at 3pm in the afternoon. I came in just after they opened the following morning. All of a sudden they found $2000+ in repairs the vehicle needed. So one of two things happened. They either 1. Don't inspect vehicles before listing them which is a bad practice, or 2. Get you in there and raise the price. Left an incredibly bad taste in my mouth. Also the repairs they listed would have cost about $800-1200 not $2000 so regardless they were trying to rip me off. Avoid at all costs read more

So stopped in to look at a few cars. First impression are terrible place looks like a dump. The construction is everywhere and limited parking to say the least. Once you get inside and take a look at sticker prices on new cars and you notice they add upwards of 2500 on top of Msrp prices it's prob best to look elsewhere. Talk about taking advantage of people. People need to be smart with their money. Adding a Market value fee happens at many dealerships but NOT ALL. Shop around and be smart. read more

I have been trying to get my title fixed for my Chevy Cruze that I bought. Apparently there is a typo on the title that the dealership didn't disclose to me upon purchasing my car. The technician at the inspection station had to point out the mistake to me. My car is mistakenly listed as a truck on the title and registered as a truck. I have submitted the requested paperwork three times already to get this fixed and have been completely ignored. I was told by Anthony Lidondici that listing a car as a truck on the title and registration doesn't make a difference however, don't insurance companies charge more to insure a truck than a car? Doesn't the DMV charge more to register a truck rather than a car? How many times to I have to ask to get this fixed?? I thought this was taken care of already but I received my renewal for my registration and found out it wasn't. This dealership is very quick to get you signed and into the car you pick..after that don't expect any service. Once you need to go back to fix anything or change anything you are looked at like a nuisance, you can tell nobody really wants to talk to you or help you with additional paperwork. Besides all that there are several problems with the car that I had to fix after purchasing it (coolant leak, MAF issues). Wouldn't come back here after my experience. read more

A big thank you to DCH Honda and Eriq at the service center. After getting ripped off and getting poor customer service from Honda of Staten Island, it's a treat to have found DCH Academy Honda despite having to pay a toll to come to this dealership. I came a little early, explained the issue to the service representative eriq, he enters the data to the computer and found a software recall that needs to be performed and let me know what's the maximum time it will take to fix my car. In the end, he gave me his cell phone to text because I was going to wait at the movies and texting would be a better option. read more
