Good point, Dong.

Almost all of the salespeople at Dublin Honda have always been rude to me. I tried to buy a S2000 from them a couple years ago. I had been quoted $500 over invoice from Davis Honda and just wanted to see if they would be able to match that. When I told them what I had been quoted, however, the salesperson gave me a "yeah whatever" look and told me no dealership would ever give me that kind of quote... Then he just turned and walked away from me!

However, the last time I went, there was an older gentleman by the name of Neil who was very helpful and tried to help my boyfriend find the Prelude we were looking for. We found the Prelude at a different dealership, but I would highly recommend Neil - he was very courteous and didn't give us any attitude.
Dublin was very nice to me. Didnt have a problem at all. I had them do a brake check up. Everyone was very nice and I had about 10 people from the staff all over the car asking questions. I will go back to them in the future. Some of the Hawaii dealers were a lot worse for the same things.. Also they had techs that could work on extremely low cars so thats a plus..

I'll prob be sticking with Walnut Creek honda since I've been dealing with them for over 3 years and never a problem. They even replaced my trani when it was over warrenty period.

Service and Sales may have different people and attitudes.

I think that the salesmen probably took one look at me and thought I was some punk teenage girl trying to pull a fast one on them. I'm glad that other dealerships took me seriously - San Leandro Honda actually matched the offer from Davis Honda of $500 over invoice.
