I found a car I liked and reached out. I was assured that financing could be obtained and filled out all of the forms. Every email I received was to the tune of, “Can’t wait for you to come get this car!” and that went on for about three days. Then, all of a sudden, I stopped hearing anything. My credit monitoring services lit up saying that I had had hard inquiries, so I checked in again. Nothing. I waited a few days and decided to check in one last time. Nothing. I don’t know what kind of operation this is or who is running it, but this has been one of the most disappointing customer service experiences I have ever had. Further, my credit score was dinged for the hard inquiries and I don’t even have the car to show for it! In the end, I am more than happy not to have been able to give this place my business, I just wish it wasn’t because they were so lousy at trying to obtain and maintain it.

We had a great experience with Upper Valley. A very low-pressure sales process, extremely competitive trade-in value, and nice people who were a pleasure to deal with throughout. Really a breath of fresh air after dealing with other Vermont Honda dealerships. Thank you, Kali, Jess, Bill, and team!

Greg, we're delighted to hear that Matt provided such excellent service at Upper Valley Honda. Thanks for the recommendation and your kind words!
Upper Valley Honda is the best place to buy a car! They are a no pressure dealership. They worked with me and stayed within my payment range, without trying to push higher. Shawna and Kyle were awesome to work with! Hands down the best experience!!!

Liz, we're delighted to know you had a great experience with Shawna and Kyle at Upper Valley Honda! We always aim for no-pressure service that respects your needs. Thanks for choosing us!
They care until you point out a problem with their service and parts Then they literally throw you to the curb!! Called a tow truck to move my car off of their lot because they don't know how to admit they created an issue where someone could have been hurt because I started to drive away and had ZERO brakes. That's just the beginning....uses after market parts when the book clearly states they use Honda parts only. The breaking system, calibers and rotors have been replaced 3 times in 2 years.

Brittney, we're delighted to know Emily provided you with a great experience at Upper Valley Honda. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you in the future!
Recently took our Honda to this dealership for an issue with the brakes. We have been taking our Honda to the dealership for regular maintenance since we bought it (from another dealership). The service center was dishonest, tried to tell us it was our fault that routine services were not performed, and then tried to talk us into thousands of dollars of repairs that were both unnecessary and overpriced. If you take your car here for maintenance, always get a second opinion. If my car broke down in the parking lot, I would still take it somewhere else. We purchased our Honda from a different dealership because we did not want to deal with the sales department at this dealership. They are just as bad as the service department.

Thank you for the review, Andy. I'm sorry to hear you're not satisfied with the service provided by our team. Please contact me directly if you'd like to discuss these concerns further. Respectfully, Steve Perlowski - General Manager - 802-436-2202
Thought I made a deal when I was told what they would give me for my car. Asking price - trade in value = amount owed. I was shocked when they tried to charge me $1,297 more. $199 undercoating (deleted) $299 Vin etch fee. Saw a YouTube vid saying don't pay this. $799 administrative fee. Over double the state average. After starting to walkout they lowered the asking price (slightly) and gave $500 more for my trade. I still paid $478 more than what I had expected. I fear many people would not study the sales agreement as I did and pay for things they don't need or want!
