My wife and I had been looking for a new Civic Coupe for her, for about a month, when I came across a left-over 2016 online at Altoona Honda. After a quick call, I was courteously greeted on the phone by Adam Sloan who informed me it was sold the night before. He immediately inquired of the specific trim I was looking for and offered to discount a 2017 for my wife and I. We had tried to deal with a couple of Honda dealerships near us, but neither seemed interested on discounting their vehicles or earning our business. So after an hour and a half road trip, we arrived at Altoona Honda.
The first thing we noticed was a state-of-the-art dealership, new facility, and extremely courteous staff (one young man held the door open for my wife and I as we entered). We were quickly greeted by staff who directed us to Adam Sloan. After a few minutes with him, it was obvious to us that the car buying process was going to be painless. The trade offer was fair and the deal went smoothly. We left with the price and payment being lower than we expected, which allowed us to add an extended warranty on while we worked with the finance department (thank you Justin Griffith).
In closing, let my wife and I thank the staff, specifically Adam Sloan (Sales) and Justin Griffith (Finance) for a wonderful buying experience. As an ex-salesman, who has sat on both sides of the desk, I am pleased to highly recommend Altoona Honda to family and friends.
2014 Dodge Dart SXT Review

This car has everything I want in a car. Heated seats/wheel, touchscreen dash, Bluetooth, backup cam, leather seats, power mirrors, heated mirrors, and more! Also has a sleek exterior, pretty good on gas as well
My husband and I had been having overheating problems with our 2003 Civic. Another repair shop hadn't been able to solve the problem. Reluctantly, we tried Rahal Honda of State College, hoping the dealership might know the problems with the specific make better. But we didn't expect much, and we've never trusted dealerships. We've never had service done at one that wasn't for a recall and we've never bought a car from one.
This experience blew us away! While waiting for the diagnostics to be completed, my husband inquired about buying a used car, since we thought the repairs would be too expensive. The salesman let him know about two cars they had that were the model we're interested in that weren't on the lot yet, even though they were less expensive options.
They found the route of the problem, and on top of that, did a relatively thorough check of our car to give us a better idea of how long it can last, without our even asking! And this was after they would've known we were looking to replace if we couldn't get it fixed. On top of that, the repair estimate came in $300 LESS than the lowest we'd expected!
They fixed the problem, replaced a couple other parts while they were in there at our request, and we think we'll get at least 5-7 more years out of this car! And I haven't even touched on their great flexibility with appointment times and shuttle service, since we only have the one car. We'll be back when it's time to get our next Honda!

This car meets all of my needs. It is roomy and comfortable, drives very smooth, and has little or no blind spots. I have only had it for a couple of days. But I live my car!
Was looking for a manual accord, they were one of the few dealers who had one. Their staff seems passionate about cars, an important quality to have when you are selling cars
2019 Buick Envision Preferred Review

Good vision. Car seems to watch out for other cars and warns of their proximity. Plenty of space for my long legs. Back seat ac and generous room for passengers.
I was looking with my son for a new car for him and we started by looking at a Honda Civic. He was pretty much sold on it, but we were told he couldn't get Apple CarPlay unless we moved up to a higher model of the Civic. So I said let's look at the Toyota Corolla since it's the Civic's equivalent. It drove pretty much the same but neither of us liked the styling as much as the Honda. We were going to go back to the Honda dealership to see if we could take a Civic home for the weekend, but I thought we should stop at the Mazda dealership on the way there to look at a Mazda3. The Mazda3 was about $1000 higher in sticker price, but the deal we got from Blaise Alexander was really good and we both liked the styling and drive of the Mazda3 better. They were also able to upgrade to Apple CarPlay merely by running a software update on the infotainment system. The Mazda3 was better-equipped than either the Honda or Toyota too. It had allow wheels (both the others had hubcaps), a push button start instead of their key starts, and the back seat is a 60/40 split that folds down whereas the others were not split. All in all a better car at a better price.

This Mazda6 was fun to drive, comfortable for long rides and got great gas mileage. It had plenty of leg room in the front and rear. Sporty exterior and interior. If you love to drive and control the car this 6 speed manual transmission is excellent.

Family long time GM buyers. We purchased a new 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid sedan from Bill Reilly in State College at Blaise Alexander Hyundai. I'm a retired Pennsylvania State Police Trooper who can attest to the quality, comfort and SUPERIOR performance of this vehicle. We are impressed with the 40 MPG plus and the warranty on the Hyundai. A beautiful bright Venetian Red Pearl Sonata Limited was in demand for my wife, Barbara. No problem, they ordered the Venetian Red Pearl Sonata Limited for Barbara! Jada, our miniature "Sheltie" found a second home! Pull the two releases in the trunk and the rear seats fold down. No problem now for our annual trip to Florida to visit our son and family. "Jada" has a master bedroom. There is still a lot of room for our luggage, golf clubs and surprises Barbara may find to and from! Blaise Alexander Hyundai - Mazda is a very professional dealership! My father was a sales manager for a GM dealership while growing up. I served in the military and then the Pennsylvania state Police for 27 years, After retirement, I was a salesman for a GM Dealership in Altoona and helped our children obtain a doctorate and a masters in education. Bill Reilly, sales representative, is one of the most professional/honest persons I ever met! Blaise Alexander Dealership treats every customer with respect and NO PRESSURE! The dealership inventory is one of the largest in Pennsylvania. Ask for "Bill Reilly" at the dealership. Contact Bill at 814-234-2886 or email: breilly@blaisealexander.com PS: Tell "Bill" to put a "SOLD" sign on your new car if he buys you and your wife dinner at one of the great restaurants in State College. Have a good day and enjoy your NEW HYUNDAI OR MAZDA with the great 10 year warranty! Respectfully, Barry Bidelspach PSP Retired

Car is over priced. Get 32 mpg average. Seats marginal. Children only in rear. Childrens car seat in rear makes. Front seat nearly unusable. Engine is extremely buzzy, and annoying.
I had a wonderful experience!! I was able to do everything online with little effort. I
got a prompt call back from Ryan the manager, he gave me the details, had all the paperwork and the van ready when I arrived it was soooo easy. I got a 2012 Chrysler T&C minivan that is in great condition, at a great price, under a hundred thousand miles! I love their ProGuard extended warranty, it's totally reasonable considering what it offers. Best car buying experience ever! I highly recommend and will be telling all my friends about these guys!!

I like the vehicle but have had problems with the rear end. Currently being repaired. Drives well, handles well, great visability. Gas mileage is approx 18. A ton of room for my business use.
Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff; great car, no-stress buying experience.
Done in approximately an hour and a half because they are a full service dealer. Just a great experience.

I really can't say at this point I've only had it for 2 weeks, so there I can say. But it handles well, has a pretty good pick up for a 4 cylinder
Very friendly and efficient with great follow up. They were not pushy just genuinely interested in helping me find the right car. Tim printed everything I would need for insurance quotes and financing. More than I was expecting

This truck is perfect for the average daily driver that uses their truck for typical household chores, 7500lbs towing capacity for hauling. I chose the lariat fully loaded and was out the door at 43k with a warranty.
el manejo de mi nuevo 2019 tahoe es excelente, es rapido, potente, seguro, espacioso, economico en combustible, y muy buen " Good Looking. Estoy super contento con este nuevo vehiculo
I could not have asked for a better experience! I began my search for a new car (after 13 years) a few months ago by stopping into the dealership to check out the showroom. Fate had it that I met Jeep enthusiast, Tim McClincy. We struck up a conversation that had Tim investing a lot of his time to answer my questions, and taking the initiative to research any, and all options for a particular build of Jeep I was interested in.
While I weighed my options (for about a month), Tim was always willing, and available to touch base, whether in person, by phone, or e-mail. He was more than happy to schedule test drives as I was making up my mind. When I finally decided to go with Jeep, Tim and the staff at Blaise Alexander went above, and beyond to make sure I got exactly what I was looking for. The buying experience was absolutely hassle free. Tim did everything he could to make certain every part of the process went smooth, and without pressure.
From start to finish, the entire experience was stress free, and pleasant. When it came to the day of purchase, Tim and Jason Renno did everything they could to get me the most competitive price possible. This is the way car buying should be! If you're in the market for a Jeep, give this staff an opportunity to earn your business, I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND it! Thanks Tim and Team Blaise Alexander Jeep!

I have been looking for a vehicle comparable to my other vehicle and this one was perfect, I love the large Navigation screen, and the comfort, plus it looks great
We recently purchased a Toyota Sienna from Bobby Rahal Toyota of Lewistown and Jessica was our sales person. She was willing to go out of state to find the vehicle we thought we wanted, but it ended up we bought a 2015 Sienna that was on the lot. Jessica was very helpful and knowledgeable about giving us the exact package we wanted. This was by far the best car buying experience we have ever had. NO pressure. We have purchased many cars in our lives and have never enjoyed spending time at a dealership like we did at Bobby Rahal's. Jessica and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to many years of servicing our van at Bobby Rahal's service dept. I would recommend Bobby Rahal of Lewistown to all our family & friends.

I have had my 2008 for one week now so OnStar and membership weren't included. Came with one key. Everything went great until i started the car so my husband could move it AND IT AUTO LOCKED THE DOORS!! That's right, car running, only set of keys in the ignition and the doors were locked!! I had to wreck the visor on the driver's side and spend a half hour fishing around with a curtain rod to unlock the car!! What kind of car locks you out AFTER you've started the car with the doors unlocked?!?
I was in the market for a used Tacoma and stopped in to Bobby Rahal Toyota to look at one they had listed. I was bracing for either the "what do I need to do to get you in this car today" experience or being completely ignored. What I experienced, however, was the perfect opposite. I bumped into Jessica while she was returning a Tundra to the lot. We chatted for a bit about the Tacoma for sale; it was a relaxed and pleasant conversation. We took the truck for a drive, we talked about price without tension, and we worked out a deal. I couldn't be happier with the truck I found, but mostly with the experience working with Jessica and Bobby Rahal Toyota. I highly recommend you visit Bobby Rahal Toyota and Jessica!

Everyone in the family is tall and this car has front and rear legroom that you find in very few cars. I wanted to avoid vans and SUV’s so I spent a long time looking for the right Avalon. This model was downsized after 2012 which is very disappointing.
Very happy with Lion Country dealership. Service department excellent. Front desk very hospitable.

I had to trade in my other car due to damage and this was what fit my budget. Drives good. Only qualms is that I have an android and not iPhone so all features don't work
My salesman Tyler Boone was a personable as a salesman could be. No pressure, just simply asked the right questions, and gave me the right information and responses in return. 98% of car dealerships make you jump through hoops to wear you out and cave to their wants...not here. I'm most definitely going to buy another car from him when the time comes.
Mat, who ran me through the paperwork and finances made things as easy as possible. Car dealers tend to forget how important a new car purchase is to the customer...again, not here. Mat took as much time as I needed to make sure I understood the entire process. Customer service at Lion Country Kia is second to none!

I enjoy the car very much thus far ...what concerns me though is the fact that the 2.5 litter that I have in my optima had a recall for lower end knocking .... which turned out to be a huge recall
Great Price for a great vehicle. The Salesman, Tyler Boone, doesn't push a sale on to you but gives you all the specifics/details/features of the car, and then lets you make the decision to purchase. Then there is the Service Department! These guys are great! They get your car in, serviced, and back out on the road as quickly as possible.

I’ve had great luck with the two KIA Sorento models I’ve owned. Drove my 2004 to 100K miles with no problems Current KIA Sorento has 56K+ miles. So far so good. I’m thinking of getting a 2019 or 2020 model. I’ve got a great CSR that I trust and follow him whrn he moves to another KIA dealership.
Fantastic service at this dealership. I would definitely recommend. Ryan was great in helping me get the best deal, and the customer service is fantastic. I’m planning on returning here in the future!

Traded in a 2012 I had similar to this car for the 2015 version because I wanted a sunroof. I also liked the color and the fact that it was sporty. Got lots of compliments driving it, was comfortable an really hate to get rid of it because I liked it a lot but trying to purchase either a classic car or a motorbike for the summer plus I really could use the cash!
