If I could leave separate reviews for each of these guys I would but unfortunately Yelp won't let me! I chose Poway Honda SOLELY because of the absolute unmatched quality of care I received from MICKEY. I was actually in the market over a year ago when I met Mickey but didn't pull the trigger as I wasn't quite ready. Now that I was ready Mickey came to my mind automatically and I called him to make an appointment. From start to finish he was there with his one of a kind personality, caring heart and gentle spirit. Please ask for Mickey when coming to this dealership you will be so happy you did. and CHRISTIAN I could not have felt more comfortable and at ease. His calm demeanor through the finance aspect of the sale was truly stress free. Thank you, Christian! Last but not least TYREE thank you for walking me through the final paperwork and making sure I felt comfortable with the last part of the deal and that I completely understood what I was signing. Thanks again to Tyree. Love my new car guys! read more

This dealership has completely changed my perception of Honda. The customer service is by far the worst I've experienced. It is nearly impossible to get through to a service advisor, and when they promise to call you back, they never do. I've repeatedly been left waiting with no communication or follow-up. I expected much better from Honda, but this experience has made me regret buying a Honda in the first place. If this is the level of service customers can expect after purchasing a vehicle, it's incredibly disappointing. I would not recommend this dealership to anyone read more

I went to this location to see what my options were for trading my Acura RDX. I was introduced to Sebastian S. He was very friendly and seemingly professional. I appreciated that the dealership wasn't busy and although the receptionist did not greet me she did answer questions I had about the popcorn they had available. I love that they have a popcorn machine which kept my daughter occupied while we waited. Sebastian was very honest and upfront with me about my cars value and my option which I truly appreciated. What I did NOT appreciate is him telling me to sit and wait while he left for about 15 to 20 minutes. I had no idea what he was doing but saw my car had been moved then later reappeared. I later saw him return for paper towels and he explained they test drove my car and spilled a drink in the backseat. I was never asked my consent for my car to be driven , he had only asked for my keys to check the mileage. When I returned to my car I noticed the passenger seat of my car had been cut !!! I have seat covers in my car but the passenger seat cover had been lifted. There are visible slices in my car that had NEVER been there prior to me visiting this dealership. I reached out for support in resolving this matter and never heard anything! It's unfortunate and frustrating that a location that seemed to have nice honest staff, would do this and not even attempt to resolve the matter. read more

DO NOT BUY HERE! SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. Poway Honda is supposed to be a reputable business. I purchased a 2023 Chevrolet Suburban Premier Duramax with 83,927 miles on Tuesday 5/19/26, with $20,000 down cash. Seven days later shortly after driving a little over 100 miles the check engine light populated at 94,142 miles. I have contacted Tyree Jones the Finance Manager who finalized the sale, with zero responses. I reached out to Elizabeth Rodriguez, who sold me the vehicle, and she's just pushing it off on her managers. The following morning I took the vehicle down to my local Chevrolet Service Center to be diagnosed. Per GM the Suburban purchased a week ago needs the following replaced: Second Catalytic converter without filter, gasket, clamp, nuts, seal. Greg a manager I got on the phone on Thursday 5/28/26 was extremely rude didn't offer an apology on the current issue with the vehicle. He stated " You're a consumer in California, you are a liable as soon as you drive off the lot". I asked for the diagnostics report he stated they ran when Poway Honda purchased the vehicle and he said," We'll try and get that over to you, you should have received it at the time of purchase" which I did not and I am still waiting for them to send me that report. Reputable auto dealers do right by their consumers, Poway Honda does not. read more

Had a great experience at Poway Honda, especially with Mickey, who made the process, both over the phone and in person, wonderful. Mickey took care of us and guided us through the process of buying a new car and we really appreciate it! read more

I know dealerships often overcharge, but I never imagined that fixing an exhaust system issue could endanger my family. My ordeal began in May when I took our Odyssey to Poway Honda for a P0430 error code. At the time, the catalytic converter was still under Honda's 8-year warranty. The dealership only told me the fuel injectors were fine and performed a software update, without addressing the real cause of the issue. They also claimed the coolant level was low and quoted me several hundred dollars for a refill. Skeptical, I checked the coolant myself at home--it was perfectly fine. Given my past experiences, I wasn't surprised by their actions. Fast forward to November, I returned to Poway Honda for the same error code. This time, they identified a catalytic converter issue, but by then, my vehicle was no longer under warranty. They replaced the converter on December 6, 2025, and I picked up the car on December 8. Four days later, during a family camping trip, we heard a loud noise from underneath the car, just 100 miles after picking it up. The metal protector had come loose! (See attached picture.) The mechanic either used the wrong parts for the three front holes or he didn't fasten them tightly enough. A kind stranger helped us remove the protector completely. This wasn't just unprofessional; it was downright unsafe. We were in a desert area with miles of roads lacking adequate shoulders--mostly narrow, unpaved, and uneven. In such conditions, pulling over upon hearing a loud noise could lead to further damage. The detached protector could act like a shovel, displacing dust and rocks, and potentially damaging the vehicle's undercarriage, leaving us stranded with the vehicle partly on the road due to narrow shoulders. We would have faced a wait of hours, if not overnight, for a tow truck--with no cell reception in the area. We were incredibly lucky. The incident occurred near a small community where we found a safe spot and received help from a local with tools. Had this happened 10 seconds earlier or later, the outcome could have been drastically different. With two kids in the car, I can't imagine what we would have done if we were stuck in the middle of nowhere waiting for help. When I confronted Poway Honda about this, they claimed that plastic clips are Honda standard--something I found hard to believe given the original washer marks and online videos I've seen. They also denied removing the protector, despite the service video clearly showing it was removed. With all this misinformation and shoddy work, my trust in their service is shattered. I'm genuinely worried about letting them service my car again. If you're considering getting service here, do yourself a favor and think twice. Your vehicle's safety--and your peace of mind--are worth it. read more

Evens our sales representative is really nice and professional.

Arlene was my sales person. She did a nice job. She's still fairly new to the car business about a year into it. I had 20 years in the car business, so I'm not a normal buyer. Ryan the finance manager took care of that part, did a good job, I had my own financing so it wasn't really an issue for me. The whole experience wasn't that bad, but they could've done a lot more to make the Ford F150. I bought more presentable. There was even dirt on the floor of the cab, and dirt and debris in the bed of the pick up. The whole experience wasn't terrible and Arlene was a good sales person, I wasn't buying a new car, but I don't expect a used vehicle to look as dirty and is unkempt as it looked when I got mine delivered at the dealership. Overall, just an average experience. If you wanna buy a car here, ask for Arlene, she'll take good care of you. read more

My wife went in to Poway Honda for an oil change. Please note her 2023 HR-V has 32k miles. A routine inspection showed she had a "hole" in her tire. She was told the tire had to be replaced. And since the wear was low, she needs to replace all 4 tires. A later inspection by a reputable tire place had told her Poway Honda gave her bogus information. She was also given a laundry list of all the other things that had to be done. My wife is not one to be taken advantage of. She left with her car while the repair salesman was trying to apologize. If you are a woman, I strongly suggest you are VERY careful with interactions from this business. We will absolutely be taking our business elsewhere. If you feel taken advantage of, please remember to call the Bureau of Automotive Repair at (800) 952-5210. read more

Can't express enough how incredible Mickey was, highly recommend him, and the dealership. read more

One of the worst Honda service departments in San Diego county. I called because my 2024 Honda Prologue has a recall for the main center console software. First question was "Did you buy or lease your Honda from us". Then I asked and was told the software update can take 1 or 2 days and that no loaner car would be provided and that a rental car through Enterprise rent a car would not paid by Poway Honda and at discounted rental rate. read more

My wife and daughter went to buy a used car and were told they had to take the add ons. Specifically a warranty or their security system or they can't buy the car. She told the manager Gregory Peek, who was pressing the issue, that is against California law. He was condescending and obnoxious. Of course she walked. Now we have a decision to report this incident to the following agencies. We went to Temecula bought a car . They treated with us with respect and no add ons. As a consumer,I filed a formal complaint with parent company. It appears others have documented this on Yelp. * California DMV Investigations (they regulate auto dealers) * California Attorney General's Office (Consumer Protection) * California Department of Consumer Affairs * Also consider small claims / civil suit under Cal. Civ. Code § 1770 (for deceptive practices) Now you are informed: Legal references; 1. California Car Buyer's Bill of Rights / OAG "Buying & Maintaining a Car" The California Department of Justice's consumer page says: "Dealers must give you an itemized price list for optional 'add-on' items such as service contracts, insurance, anti-theft devices, or other products." It also implies you have the right to clearly see what's optional rather than buried or forced. 2. California AutoLawFirm - Dealer Add-Ons FAQ Their FAQ states: "In California, dealers must not require [add-ons] as a condition of the sale unless they're clearly disclosed as part of the total advertised price." Also, they mention that optional products or services must be disclosed as optional -- the dealer cannot force them. 3. Consumer Legal Remedies Act (Civil Code § 1770) While not always tied to cars exclusively, this law prohibits unfair or deceptive practices in trade or commerce. Forcing or misrepresenting add-ons (telling you they're mandatory when they aren't) can violate § 1770. (This is also referenced in discussions about dealer add-ons and misrepresentations.) 4. Proposed California CARS Act / Existing Statutes * The proposed California CARS Act (SB 766) would more explicitly ban so-called "valueless" add-ons and require that optional products be clearly disclosed as optional. * Some of these protections already overlap with Civil Code § 2982.2 (Automobile Sales Finance Act) and Vehicle Code § 11713.3(h) (dealer disclosure) in requiring that optional services' nature and price be disclosed. 5. General Dealer Fraud / Auto Fraud Legal Center The Auto Fraud Legal Center (non-governmental) describes "sale of mandatory add-ons" as potentially a fraud claim if forced without your consent. And legal resource sites say: "A dealer can't force you to accept add-ons as a condition of sale." read more

I purchased a used 2020 Ram 1500 with only 30,000 miles--basically a new truck. The Carfax report stated that all recalls had been addressed, so I felt confident I was buying a reliable vehicle. Unfortunately, less than three weeks after the purchase, the truck completely shut off while I was driving and hasn't started since. It's now just sitting at a dealership waiting to be repaired due to what turns out to be a well-documented electrical issue that should have been resolved before the vehicle was ever sold. What's worse is the complete lack of accountability from the dealership. I've contacted the manager twice, and both times I was brushed off and told there's nothing they're going to do about it. Not even an attempt to help or offer solutions--just a dismissive attitude as if my situation didn't matter. The most frustrating part? I haven't even made my first payment yet, and I'm already dealing with a major failure that renders the truck useless. At this point, not making the first payment is starting to feel like the most reasonable option. Why should I be expected to pay for a truck that doesn't even run--one that was knowingly sold with a serious, unresolved issue? I never imagined that buying from a dealership--especially one under the Honda name--would lead to such a disappointing and costly experience. It's not just bad business, it's a complete failure in integrity and responsibility. read more

I walked into Poway Honda for the 1st time Monday (4/20/26) just to check inventory and see if any used vehicles matched what I was looking for. Christian, one of the managers introduced me to MICKEY PEREZ, my salesperson. Mickey is knowledgeable about Honda's products, friendly and showed me a vehicle that matched my desires. The vehicle I was interested in had just been taken in the day before. I knew it would sell quick being priced fairly and being a hybrid. Mickey is NOT a high pressure salesman like many we've all come across before at various dealerships. But let me tell you, Mickey went to bat for me to ensure that the entire buying process was seamless. He's been a salesperson at Poway Honda for quite some time and it shows., If you're in the market for a new/used vehicle I cannot recommend Poway Honda enough. MICKEY PEREZ took car of me throughout the entire process!! Thank you Mickey! read more

Got my certified pre owned crv hybrid and absolutely love it! Mickey was our guy and definitely know his stuff. My dad and Mickey talked cars all day, shared stories about previous jobs they've had, working on old cars and speakers.... He was relaxed and easy to talk to.

Thanks Gary for wasting my time!!! Drove 2 hours and Made an appointment with him and came on time just to tell me "oh your early" as he is with someone else in a middle of an appointment of the same car I'm trying to buy.

UPDATE 5/20/25 (21 days after request): NO RESOLUTION and just discovered on my service receipt that the Home phone number listed on my account was NOT MINE (OR EVER WAS). I called the rep at 9:07am to correct the Home phone number and asked if other customers have been having the same issue of random cars and phone numbers on their account. The rep blamed it on the system and said "It's nothing to be concerned about". Let's remind Poway Honda WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE CORRECT DATA: * Businesses are ethically obligated to protect customer data and ensure data accuracy to prevent identity mix-ups or exposure of sensitive information. * Failing to correct such issues after multiple requests demonstrates a lack of accountability and may constitute NEGLIGENCE. read more

From the moment I called Poway Honda and Mickey answered with, "I apologize, I was eating my Metamucil cracker what can I do for you?" I could already tell he was different. Mickey is sincere, patient, and genuinely invested in helping his customers. Some people might say he gets carried away with conversation but honestly that's exactly what makes him stand out. In a time where everyone seems to be in a rush and real human interaction feels like a dying art, Mickey brings back the kind of personable service you don't see anymore. Our previous experience at Imperial Valley Honda left a lot to be desired. The salesman barely talked and provided little information on a vehicle we were ready to commit to. Mickey gave us the complete opposite. He was engaging, informative, and entertaining throughout the entire process. Most importantly he truly worked with our budget and made us feel heard. Mickey was so promising and straightforward over the phone that we were willing to drive two hours to Poway just to work a deal with him and it was absolutely worth it. If you're looking to buy a Honda, I definitely recommend asking for Mickey Perez at Poway Honda. He delivers the experience every car buyer deserves. Thank you Mickey! read more

I had an appointment today at Poway Honda Service Center. ALVARO helped me - the car needed service maintenance and discovered some other things needing attention. Alvaro explained what was needed, told me the pricing and estimated time. Since it was going to need some time, Alvaro arranged a ride for me with TANIA so I didn't have to wait several hours. I appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness of Alvaro and Tania to make sure that I was able to get the car work completed and be comfortable during the process. They even made sure that I would be picked up when the work was completed. Tania noticed that the car needed a wash and took care of that for me, I really appreciate the gesture.

I have always been a Nissan type of person. I have purchased total five cars from Nissan, but it was time for a change so I went to this dealership to purchase a Honda pilot 2025 the original sales person that was supposed to help me ended up, unable to help me so I was assigned to Vincent. We arrived early so we looked around the lot before he arrived and saw the car that we wanted so I took it for a test drive and it drove smooth and I loved it so we ended up going in and signing all the paperwork. Then after that we went to financing Nothing was really offered to us based on warranties and maintenance and things like that we kind of seem kind of rushed and we went back to Vincent. He gave us the keys and taught us have a good day not bothering to show us all the features of our brand new 2025 vehicle so we drove home not knowing what the features were. We should inspect the vehicle prior for signing the paperwork because we noticed a lot of flaws like damage room on the front driver side and the rear passenger side and a flaw on the paint which which bubbled up so we called anger, our original salesman, Gabe he was fantastic. We stated our experience with Vince and he helped us and showing all the options that the vehicle had and they fixed the damage to the rooms but couldn't do much about the bubble because they have to repaint that area on the way home and a rock hit our windshield cracked it so we called Gabe and he stated that we declined the windshield insurance which we were never offered so now we have to go through our insurance to file claim. This would be the last time we go to Honda of Poway. read more

Upon arriving at dealership I was greeted with a big smile from Wilhelmina. Our car registration had expired, dmv paperwork was not complete when we bought out the Honda lease.
