I was charged for an option neither my wife nor I approved and was snuck in the deal for the price not the service.. Will not go back and referred my friends to go elsewhere. Note that I did edit my first review. So I wasn’t going to even say anything but after speaking with the Finance Manager Tom Henschel, I feel obligated to write this as the lack of accountability is insane. Him even saying “I’m baffled” because we signed the deal. We were there for 7 hours mind you and part of that time was with a 2 yo. So yeah we wanted to just get out and I get it’s what they do to wear one down to upsell stuff. I recently purchased a vehicle from Manly Honda in Santa Rosa, and my experience during the closing process was disappointing to say the least. While finalizing the deal, I was told that a fabric protection package was being “thrown in and that’s really nice of him to do that at no cost”. This was by a gentleman named David. I even clarified with David that it was being thrown in while talking to him. He reiterated yes. There was other shady issues that I left alone. Based on that representation, I moved forward with signing the paperwork. However, after reviewing the contract more closely afterward, I realized I was actually charged for that add on. About 1400 dollars. When I brought this up, the dealership pointed to the signed paperwork rather than addressing the fact that the product was misrepresented during the sales process. That’s not how customers should be treated when making a major purchase. I understand the importance of reviewing contracts carefully, but customers should also be able to trust what they are being told during negotiations. Transparency matters. I would encourage anyone purchasing a vehicle here to go line-by-line through every item in the contract and confirm pricing in writing before signing anything or “initial” anything. Honestly I’d just go somewhere else as it’s my fault for not getting input from local people here as we are fairly new to the area.

Good afternoon this is Tom Henschel the finance director here at Manly. First want you to know this has never happened under my watch in 10 years and I am looking into right now. If okay with you I am going to call you soon. Thank you for letting me know.
Just a reminder that you said you were going to call my wife and still haven’t heard.
Convenient. We live in Redding and Ryan made it really easy to discuss the terms of the deal and the cars arrival.

Shyla kept me informed; she told me additional repairs were needed, that the expense would be considerable and that at some future time, if not today, they should be scheduled… No pressure- just straight up informative…The mechanic provided pics as the repairs were completed, an Uber was provided and my car was washed. Altogether, it was top drawer service. I was impressed!

Hi Sheila, Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad to hear Shyla kept you informed and provided clear, pressure-free guidance—that’s exactly the experience we aim to deliver. It’s great to know the technician’s photos, the Uber service, and the vehicle wash all helped make your visit smooth and convenient. We truly appreciate you recognizing the effort our team puts in to provide top-tier service. Thank you for choosing Manly Honda. We look forward to taking great care of you again! Best, Your Manly Honda Team!
Communication is extremely poor. Had to try and call/text several times over days to get answers. Finally Craig stepped in and helped a bit. And finally after 30,000 miles somebody figured out the problem.

Good afternoon this is Tom Henschel the finance director here at Manly. Please call my direct line at 707-535-1168 thank you.
One of the worst car buying experiences of my life. Was spoken to condescendingly and my concerns were ignored until I refused to sign. It took me refusing to finish the paperwork to have my concerns even listened to. In the end there was something wrong with the van I was sold!

Good morning this is Tom Henschel the finance director here at Manly. Please call my direct line at 707-535-1168 thank you.
Greg Morelos was a great salesperson—straight to the point, professional, and accommodating throughout the process. We truly appreciated working with him. Unfortunately, our experience with the finance department at Manly Honda was frustrating. The financial representative repeatedly pressured us into purchasing warranty packages after we clearly stated multiple times that we were not interested. Despite saying he wasn’t trying to “twist our arm,” he continued to push GAP coverage—at least four times. I explained that we could obtain GAP through our bank or insurance, but he persisted and even manipulated the numbers without clearly giving us the option to decline. At that point, I was ready to walk away from the deal, but we ultimately moved forward because we wanted the car. Additionally, the staff lacked basic knowledge about the Tesla we purchased. No one was able to explain key features or answer simple questions, including details about battery health. We had to figure out things like opening the glovebox, adjusting mirrors, and steering wheel settings on our own. This was the first dealership experience where we couldn’t get clear answers about the vehicle’s functionality or even accurate mileage per charge. To top it off, the car was delivered to us in less-than-acceptable condition. While it may have gone through a quick wash, it was not properly detailed—there was still visible dirt in and between the seats. This was our first experience purchasing from Manly Honda, and based on the overall experience, I’m not sure we will buy again.

Hi Jasmin, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your kind words about Greg—he does a great job taking care of our guests, and we’re glad that part of your visit stood out. That said, I’m very sorry to hear about your experience in finance and with the vehicle delivery. You should always feel comfortable and fully informed during the purchase process, and it’s clear we fell short in those areas. We also understand how important it is to receive a vehicle that is properly prepared and for our team to confidently walk you through its features. We take your feedback seriously and will be addressing this internally with our team. I’d also appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly to better understand what happened and see how we can improve your experience moving forward.
