Pecheles Honda

My new Honda dealership. After a frustrating experience in Wilmington, I made the drive up to New Bern and am certainly glad I did. After speaking with Austin Smith on the phone, they had both a used and new truck that matched my needs. The truck was ready when I arrived, pulled into the service area to get out of the rain. 30 minutes later, the deal was complete. Austin navigated all of the paperwork, and TJ helped in the background providing various options and respectful pricing. If you live in Jacksonville or even Wilmington, make the drive for your next New Honda.

I have bought 2 cars from Pecheles, The sales team was great. I felt that Brian listened to my needs and worked to get me the best vehicle in my price point. Greg Smith is by far the best mechanic in the area. Highly recommend shopping for vehicles and servicing them there.

Just wanted to give a huge personal thank you to TJ, Ethan, and Matthew for helping me out with my purchase of my new car, again. This is my second purchase from Pecheles Honda. They were attentive and supportive of what I needed and guided me up to financing. Thanks again guys.

One word for this company AMAZING hands down! The staff WOW! AMAZING, the process AMAZING! they truly go above and beyond for the customer and make you feel at home. Any issues we have or had with the truck (very minor) they were willing to fix. My fiancé and I will most definitely be buying our next vehicle from them. This is how you treat your customers! Thanks to everyone at Pecheles Honda in New Bern N.C. 🙏🏾

Dealer absolutely went above and beyond to get my business! I will continue to deal with this dealer. I bought the car while on vacation and they got me in and out ASAP so I could resume my week at the beach!

Beware of their service department!! I have taken my wife’s 2012 Honda Odyssey to Pecheles Honda for all our service needs for the past 3+ years. In the past month they have completely lost my trust and my future business. A few weeks ago we brought our van in for a routine oil change and went ahead with the recommended rear brake pad change. Immediately upon leaving Honda I realized the brakes felt soft and required more effort to apply the brakes then they had before. Also on my drive home, I went to use the windshield washer fluid while driving and it sprayed momentarily and then stopped due to it being empty! Once I was home I popped the hood to investigate why the fluid stopped. Not only was the windshield washer fluid EMPTY, the coolant reservoir was empty as well as the radiator itself! Multi point inspection and fluid top offs are annotated as being done at every routine maintenance visit. This is not being done at Pecheles Honda! It does not end there though, the car was taken back and fluid were topped off and brakes were bled. The very next week the car was returned to Pecheles Honda department for the a/c blowing warm and a front axle seal being recommended to replace by the service tech at the previous visit. Pecheles immediately serviced the AC as a shotgun troubleshooting technique which cost $140 and did not fix the problem! When I picked up the car I found the ac still blowing hot. I immediately asked that the service manager come sit in the vehicle with me to see for himself. After 10 minutes of the service manager trying to Justify the ac as being OK... he finally concurred with me that it was not right or fixed. I received no update on the vehicle that day or the next. The third day I call them for an update and I am told that it was fixed the day before and they were keeping it for testing purposes. An hour after I made the call I receive a call from the service manager at Pecheles. He assured me the car is fixed and that he has made everything right by not charging me for the fix they most recently did. I questioned him as too why I wasn’t receiving a refund for the Ac refrigerant service that was done and didn’t fix anything. He reluctantly refunded this service. The service he was so eager TO cover was a $26 AC Clutch relay. To end this incredibly messed up month of service with Pecheles the AC is STILL NOT FIXED!!! The car will now be driven further to another Honda service department so we regain our trust in how our vehicle is being maintained. Short version: beware of Pecheles service department. There technicians constantly miss steps as simple as not topping of fluids at your routine maintenance visits and the service associates, service manager, and OWNER are money hungry liars that would have easily scammed my wife out of a serviceable reliable car by not maintaining it properly and taken every dime she had if I were to have been deployed during this time period. Shame on Pecheles Honda for treating loyal customers this poorly. A change needs to be made in this service department.

I bought my tan Acura MDX in 2001 and am sorry to report that 230K miles and 16 years later, I am in the process of donating my wonderful vehicle to a local nonprofit. For 16 years, the fantastic folks at New Bern Pecheles ALWAYS went out-of-their way to treat me fairly, keep me happy, and keep my car going through life's ups and down, including several expensive (and life-altering/life-threatening) challenges. I would love to report that I will be purchasing a new Honda, but (unfortunately) "common-sense" and parental obligations recently "won-out" after I inherited a newer vehicle that is a different make and model, but since I am already missing my Acura (and that great Pecheles customer service), I can't wait to contact them when I'm ready to experience "that new car smell." Thanks for a wonderful ride, guys! It was truly GREAT to do business with you and I look forward to seeing you soon!!

It was several years ago now, but I'll never forget our wonderful experience both with the sales, and the service department. Anytime we went in for so much as an oil change our sales man recognized us and asked how we were doing. During the buying process he was committed to insuring that we were 110% into and satisfied with our purchasing decision. When we mentioned maybe wanting a color they didn't have in stock, he offered to get it or discount one they did have. He kept reminding us what a large purchase and decision it was and showed the utmost respect for our hard earned cash. If only we still lived in nc, I'd buy from them every time.

Buying a car with Pecheles Honda in New Bern was truly the best car buying experience I have had to date. I'd been in the market for a hybrid vehicle for a while and was waiting for just the right deal to come along. Michelle, Internet Manage for Pecheles, was fantastic about following up with me when just such a car came onto the lot. She was helpful, friendly, and not at all pushy. The same can be said of Dean, the salesman I worked with and Brian the finance/insurance manager. Everyone there treated me with respect and kindness, and the whole transaction overall was fantastic! I feel like I got a good deal all around, but the best thing was the feeling of working with actual people and not a bunch of artificial salesman so often found on car lots. Finally, when I needed a small thing repaired and to add cruise to my new ride, Michelle actually drove the car back to the dealer for me to save me the trip- how about that for customer service!!
