I took my car in to be serviced at Salinas Honda. Frank was friendly, very informative and answered all of my questions. I am always impressed with the staff. They make me feel like my concerns are important. I highly recommend Salinas Honda. read more

I just purchased a new car from Sam Linder Honda through their Costco Auto program, and it was hands down the easiest process I've ever gone through when it came down to getting to the details and signing paperwork. I put in the request on Costco's website, and within the day a sales person from Sam Linder reached out to me to schedule an appointment to come see the car. My sales person's name was Omar, and he was honestly really helpful and knowledgeable(I asked a ton of questions). Signing paperwork went quickly, and everything was explained in full detail. I can't remember the ladies name that helped me out, but she was great. Her experience definitely showed, and she had a cool personality. The parts department was just as helpful in getting me a few OEM aftermarket parts, and expediting the ones that weren't in stock. All in all, it was a great experience when it comes to buying a car. I'll definitely be doing my maintenance at Sam Linder now. read more

I just needed regular maintenance and it was easy to make an appt on line and then change it online when I got the flu. The service rep was thorough in explaining what they may look for and when he'd contact me. He contacted me before the agreed upon time and kept me up to date on when my car was ready. I'd bring my car here again read more

Wow, what a first impression, and Sam Linder Honda FAILED.... Here is the scoop, we looking for 2020 Honda Fit. Went in the talk to your internet sales advisor, which come to find out that the email u sent was automated. Anyways, I was greeted by a sales person who was chatting next to the receptionist, and first thing I said I'm looking for a 2020Honda Fit.....not even 5 seconds, he stated that there is NONE in the entire state!! After I explained that we got a email from Cris, ur internet sales person, he went to the back and verify that there in indeed none in the entire state... After about 5 min, he cam back and stated, yup, they are not in production any.ore (which I already knew) and insisted that there is none in the entire state.. Researching a little bit, there are PLENTY of dealerships that do still in fact have that avaialble....I will never do business with liars, just because you don't have a certain model in stock, don't lie and try to make me look for another model you have do have in stock. read more

I happen to get a tire fixed at the Service department for my Accord with the best service advisor ever, Jose Becerra, when a mid size SUV caught my eye, parked in the front of the entrance to the showroom. My daughter had started looking for a bigger car for her fur babies, but the markups were RIDICULOUS and had decided to wait. I walked up to the car and wanted to open it, when Aaron came over to help me. He was very friendly, outgoing, and not over bearing. We have all been "attacked" by sales staff as soon as you step foot on a car lot, not flattering behavior. He showed me the 2023 CRV hybrid that had caught my attention. I test drove it and knew my daughter would absolutely LOVE IT!!! I also was very impressed with the sticker price, especially since it was a hybrid. But there was the question of the $4000 markup fee. He was going to speak to his manager to see what he could do for me and we scheduled an appointment to discuss the outcome. During this time, I contacted Al Feria, who had helped me with my previous purchase, and now the GM of the dealership. ...way to go AL!!! Al listened to what I wanted and three days later, he made it happen!!! I was in the office signing the paperwork for a 2023 urban grey CRV hybrid with the deal I asked for!! I am so happy and grateful to Arron, John and Al Feria for making this daunting process so easy and enjoyable!! My daughter loves her new car and the fur babies look so good in it!!! Thank you again, I am forever grateful for your support. read more

I bought from DGDG/Salinas & it was the WORST possible. I had ordered a car, waited for 6 weeks & they had ordered the wrong car form the factory! Knowing that I had driven a half day to pick up my ordered car, they "conveniently" found my version at another dealer & offered to get if I was willing to wait for 3+ hrs before another half day trip home. While one salesman insinuated it was my fault ("When did you change your mind & want a different car?") another kept saying, "You can leave. We can sell this car to someone else" - knowing well that I was not willing to drive home without my new car & start the process for another 6 weeks with someone else. Very manipulative & I suspect was a pre-arranged act. The surly Finance office worker took an additional hour while we watched her work & several times had the wrong info and needed to be corrected. Will I ever visit Salinas Honda again? With their coercive treatment, NOT a chance. read more

highly recommended sale was easy, Alex Bolanos is an awesome sales REP was fast and simple to work with. if ever needed I would go back for another purchase read more

Went to get my car serviced here for the first time and I'm very impressed. Letty was helpful and provided excellent customer service. I will definitely come back again! Thank you! read more

Service was done quickly and thoroughly. Getting an appt. was very easy and they were very accommodating.

Please be advised, this place will do as much as possible to replace, add, and charge for things you do not need. In my experience, the dealership told me I needed new wheel nuts and that it was not their fault for I have to pay for new ones. They also made me call another dealer and play the intermediate to resolve this. They also said 1 of my tires had a nail and could not be repaired and that I needed to replace 2 which cost me $400. My recommendation, do not go here, find another location, no customer service and they are full of BS, please know I made a formal complain with HONDA in hopes this will not happen to anyone. read more

Salinas Honda Rocks! Always friendly, efficient and work is delivered per promise of time for complected work. Oscar knowa his suff and is a creit to the company. Thanks Oscar for taking good care of my fit! read more

I had a recall notice for my 2019 hrv Honda, I called and scheduled an appointment I was told on the phone from a service advisor that it would take approximately 1- 1 1/2 hour, so I decided I would wait in their lobby since no shuttle service is provided due to Covid. When I showed up I got there early and got in line their was 3 service advisors doing their work, not one of them looked up and acknowledged that I was there, finally a different man came in and asked if I needed help, he took my key and went to my car, he put my paperwork in front of one of the other advisors, after a bit the advisor called me over and said I needed to sign paperwork, as he was getting ready he advised me that it would be a 4 hour wait. I said I don't have that kind of time? I was told 1 - 1 1/2 hour he said well that's how long it takes! He said they had to pull out my back seat and do the work? I said well I don't have a ride set up! He never once said I'm sorry for the inconvenience! Can we set you up for another day? He just brushed me off and said goodbye! I've had my free oil changes done there because they were free, I recall the advisors not being very friendly! I will never step foot back in there for any of my Honda needs! As a matter of fact I called to complain to the supervisor Oscar the situation and gave him a piece of my mind, I didn't know any of the advisors names? They don't wear name tags or did they introduce themselves to me so I said the Filipino man and three Hispanics, well he flew off the handle and said I was being racist! He later sent me a text and said they could not meet my needs because of my comment. He also said he was returning my fuel pump that was ordered for my car! He was no help all he did was keep texting me and acting like I had no reason to be complaining? I would not recommend this service department to anyone, I've owned Honda's before in the past and have never been treated this way! I know we all live in a different world these days, but what happened to customer service? The customer is always right? Those days are gone unfortunately! Boooo to Sam Linder for there horrible customer service department! . SALLY QUINTANILLA P.s. I had to add the messages that Oscar the service manager sent me, he was quite upset that I wrote a Yelp review so he text me again to ask me to take the review down, I asked him to stop harassing me or I would call the authorities! read more

I have been taking my car in for service at San Linder Honda (now Salinas Honda) for the last 10 years. Great service!

I had such an amazing experience buying a car recently with Jovanni. He was very patient and helpful getting me into my dream car. Also a special shout out to Betty Booher is financing for helping me and being so amazingly sweet and helpful as well. Will definitely be going back for all my future vehicles. Cannot thank them enough! read more

Good service. Fast and has comfortable area to wait. Edward was very helpful and kind.

I purchased my first car here in 2015, traded it in in 2016, and love the service the salespeople provide. My salesperson, Gloria, was extraordinarily understanding of what I wanted and had a glowing persona; her motive was clearly just trying to help by having a customer's mind and budget in her best interest. Such customer service, especially in the car dealing industry, is a GEM to find. (Quick shoutout to Gloria and the sales manager, Gabe, who were both amazingly understanding and efficient in providing me what I wanted! Even years later I love my vehicle!!) Today, I took my car in to get serviced at a different Honda dealership. The guy working the counter told me the service the car required would amount to about $840. I called three different Honda dealerships in the SF Bay Area and either no one answered or answered and dropped the call. at that point, knowing that getting another quote would be time sensitive as I was planning on telling the dealership where my car was to not perform service, I called SAM Linder. The service department IMMEDIATELY answered and both people I spoke to were a pleasure to interact with. They quoted me $245 FOR THE SAME SERVICE. I quickly scheduled an appointment with Sam Linder, called the dealership where my car was at, and told them to not perform the service. A++++ for Sam Linder!! I am officially going to schedule all my future services at Sam Linder due to their ongoing outstanding customer service throughout the years and decent prices. read more

I have bought well over a dozen vehicles in the last 8 years or so, & I cannot tell you how great of an experience i have had at Sam Linder Honda. Their friendly knowledgeable staff is already ready to help you in any situation. I came to them with a huge issue & they were able to get me into a new vehicle, no questions asked. Their whole team is great, Letty Uribe in the service department, Jim Cash in Sales, Mike in Finance, & Al Ferria General Manager. They are great, please go see them if you're in the market for a vehicle! read more

Edward was very helpful and knowledgeable when I called about scheduling service for my Odyssey. He provided great communication during the service. My van was ready at the agreed time and the pick up/payment process was quick and efficient. I will take my Odyssey to Salinas Honda again when it needs service. read more

Jose at the Service Department was very helpful, very knowledgeable. Great customer service. Made me feel comfortable leaving my car.

I had a (fortunately) brief but great experience. In the middle of our road trip, the check engine light came on. Uh oh, no one likes that. Since we had a lot more driving to do, we decided to play it safe and find the closest Honda shop on Yelp. I called on the way and explained the situation and they said come on in. When I arrived we were seen promptly by Edward who hooked up his reader and said it was just because the gas cap was loose. D'oh! Thank goodness it was just my stupid mistake and nothing major. He assured us we'd be fine, wished us a good trip, and saw us on our way. No charge. Thanks, Edward! read more

I recently bought a 2018 Honda Accord there service was great! Imad did an awesome job! He took really good care of us! He was very attentive and made us feel very comfortable.

This dealerships integrity and service has fully degraded. I came in because my car was leaking and heating up and it needed a pressure test. After the test it turned out the the vehicle needed a new pump and they were going to include the cost of the test as a "discount" to the repairs. The total cost estimate they gave me was for $1290 (with a discount) so I called Val Strogh Honda in Seaside to get another estimate and they quoted me $850 ($600 labor, $150 parts, plus antifreeze) for the same repair. Then I called my local mechanic and his estimate was $450 with original parts. After calling back Edward at Salinas Honda and providing him with other estimates he became angry and offended, because they wanted to provide me with other unnecessary maintenance cost that weren't necessarily needed but only suggested. I asked him to match the same deal as Seaside Honda since I didn't want to move my car and I knew I couldn't drive it, but he was even more fidgety and offended and said no. The next day I picked up my car and he said my battery was dead and not only that but my engine belt was sounding off nonstop and it was very loud. I called the manager and told him the engine belt was never an issue before this visit and I was incredibly shocked that they would be so unprofessional and blamed the issue on the miles in my car. I was shaken up because this was a dealership I once trusted and now they purposefully damage a major part because I did my due diligence and found other mechanics who would do the same repair at a lower cost. They took absolutely no accountability for their actions in damaging the engine belt and did nothing to resolve this issue. Thankfully my mechanic changed the engine belt free of labor cost because he was appalled by their behavior. If I didn't have a trustworthy local mechanic I would of definitely taken the car to Seaside Honda instead. read more

Just moved to the area. Came here for the first time after work to get my tire replaced. Guy who helped me was very nice. Great service !

I want to express my sincere appreciation to Jim Cash and the entire DGDG Salinas Honda crew. I live in Foster City, so last week when I saw the pre-owned 2017 Honda Civic EX for sale in Salinas that checked all of the boxes (We all know how challenging the car buying experience has been over the last couple of years!), I checked availability, and shortly received a note from Jim. After a quick conversation, Jim sent me a few more pics of the car, and I made plans to head to Salinas the next day. Test drive, review of the docs, meet with Finance...write the check....done. Originally, Jim was gracious enough to offer to transfer the car to one of the San Jose dealerships to make it easy for me to pick up the car. Then I got a call 2 days before the pick up date, saying "how about we deliver the car to you in Foster City?". Icing on the cake! Ultimate customer service experience. If you are looking for a Honda, it's worth the drive, if you see what you want. Ask for Jim Cash. He's an honorable guy, with great integrity. What a great team! read more

Eddie, Jose and Edward are always friendly and helpful, it's why I choose Salinas Honda over the others

I bought my car a few months ago took it in for its first oil change and for the first time at this dealership. Customer service was excellent, friendly, and service was done on point! read more

Excellent I highly recommend Salinas Honda. I had a drop off that wasn't scheduled. I expected the car to take all day but they got right on it it was ready in 1 and 1/2 hours. The people the helped were friendly and helpful. I am so happy with with my CR V Honda and the dealership. read more

As always, Salinas Honda took care of servicing our Insight. They are always pleasant and helpful and work around our busy schedules. I wasn't sure if things would change after the change in ownership, but everything seems to be just as good as before. We have been bringing our Hondas here for over 10 years and never had a problem. read more

As a 3rd time car buyer, being at a dealership was nothing new to me. Except for the fact that this time around I would be trading in my car. Something I had not done before. I knew what to expect, even now with the current car shortage. My experience at Salinas Honda has been by far the easiest most relaxed I have had at a dealership. Juan Carlos was a great salesman and was very knowledgeable. All the questions I had in regards to trading in my vehicle and purchasing a new vehicle were thoroughly answered. Every step of trading in my vehicle were explained to me. I came in with a very specific model and specs that I wanted in my new car. And he found me just that and with in the price range I wanted. I LOVE MY NEW CRV! Juan Carlos took his time to explain all the features/specs and how to work each one so I can use all the functions the car came with, which was much appreciated. In the F&I office I had a very pleasant experience with both PJ and Crystal who were very clear and straightforward with what was offered and how that changed my over all finance. Coming from someone who lives 1.5hrs away, I would gladly make the drive for any future purchases as well as recommend my family and friends to give Salinas Honda a visit when they consider purchasing a vehicle. read more

This review is for the service department for Both Edward and Oscar(service department manager). If I could give them negative star i would. I am a continuous shopper at this location but today i was treated horribly. I originally came in July for an oil change and that's when they notified me about a recall for my fuel pump. They told me that it would take 8 weeks for the part to be delivered. They ordered the part and then told me that they would notify me when to come in so i would get it done. Time goes by i never received the call so to my understanding it was taking time to get here. I went in on December 1st to get another oil change done. That's when I remembered to tell them about the recall. Edward looked into the situation yet he told me that i missed my appointment on September 10. I told him that there is no way I missed my appointment as no one called me. He then told me that he was trying to get the part so i can come in. He took down my number yet again never called me. Two weeks go by and still no call from them. He then tells me that my gas tank needs to be almost empty. Once I call back to let him know that my tank was at half empty he sets me up on an appointment only to cancel on me a few hours later because they did not have the part. He said he would call me once the part was there. He never called me back so i called back. He then tells me to bring my car on a certain day. I tell him that i can't do that since my work schedule doesn't allow me to take it in on that day so i tell him that the only day I can take it is on December 24 since it's my day off. He tells me that no they can't do it and that they are working a short shift that day and that they could not do it since it takes more than five hours. Mind you in the past he's told me that it takes about 3 hours. He then tells me "there is nothing I can do for you and that it is the only time they can do it. Mind you i also received a letter from Honda stating that if don't get this recall resolved than most likely i will not be able to get my tags at the DMV. Edward then tells me that he can transfer me over to his department manager (Oscar). He starts telling me that i have missed my appointment and that they have tried to reach me multiple times. Unless they are same likely then no sir you have not tried to call me! I was, and I am, pretty upset because he just continues to tell me that they can't do it on my day off because they are only working a half day! And that if I needed to get this issue resolved that i needed to talk to them in a nicely manner or else they would not help me at all. He belittled me by the way he spoke to me and as woman i feel like i was treated with no respect as they cant own up to their own mistakes. I will not be coming back here and i will not be referring any of my family and friends at this specific location as these men who work in the service department be little women. This has not been my first encounter with Edward being rude as one time when I came in pre COVID to do an oil change. He didn't want take my car in because they had already too many cars in the shop and it would take hours to get my oil done.!!!! After i was done talking to Edward i called a different dealership and i was able to get my issue resolved and on the date and time i needed. They will not continuing to get my business from now on.! read more

I bought a brand new 2020 hybrid car from them. After purchasing the car my first visit back I was treated horribly!!!!! Brought me to tears they were so hostile and mean with such anger in their voices and their way that they carry their body I was afraid for my safety!!! they got my money and treated me like trash afterward! they were only nice to me untill they received my money. I had end up calling the cops because they were so hostile and scared me. After refusing to give me my car back until I gave them even more money for fixing something they told me was free and covered. After the car was done they proceeded to tell me oh it's not covered so now you have to pay for it. I explain to them that I was told before hand that it was covered and they said they didn't care what I was saying. Worst Car lot ever I will never buy another car from them and I will tell everyone I know to not buy a car from themk!!!! read more
