We had to take the new 2013Accord EXL back for warranty review due to a problem with the Honda Link. I found Joe Gonzalez to be very helpful in getting this problem resolved as well as getting our mud flaps that had been ordered as part of our lease deal. We were given a Accord loaner since they wanted to keep the car overnight to confirm that the reboot was successful. I appreciate the comprehensive efforts and it appears as we drive the car today with new mud flaps as well that the correction worked. Thanks for asking about our experience with sales and service at OBrien.

Our recent Honda service went well. We did not have an appointment and
waited for the vehicle service in the waiting room. The mailed coupons
helped make the service more affordable. Thanks.

Service and customer care was great! Accomodated my schedule and finished early.

Lance,



We had a great experience at O’Brien Honda. Jim did a great job locating the color of CRV we were looking for and found one about a week earlier than we expected. Jim also helped connected our phones to the blue tooth function in the CRV and the gas tank was full when we left.



Thanks Again

Our Honda Civic received a 30k service yesterday. Service adviser Joe Gomez explained the recommended services and cost. The work was completed on time and there were no surprises. Joe answered all my questions on the service results. Our Honda has met our expectations and is a reliable source of transportation.

Hi Lance, we worked with Jon Hansen to buy our 2013 Honda Pilot and were
nothing but happy with our experience!! This was our first time buying a new
car and we were new to the whole experience and weren't sure if we would
feel lost, but it was completely opposite of that!! Jon did a wonderful job
of walking us through everything and making the process of buying a new car
a fantastic one!! Thanks again to the O'Brian Group!!

Hi Lance,



Thank you for checking-in with us! We had a great experience with your team. All of the team members we encountered were helpful, informative, kind, and flexible. Larry Ferguson was great to work with. He was knowledgeable, listened well, and provided many options for us to consider before we made the decision. I appreciate the fact that I didn't get the "hard sell" routine..it felt more like a conversation about the right fit. You have a great team from top to bottom, I would highly recommend O'Brien Auto Group to anyone looking for a great car purchase experience. No need to send a Starbucks card, you provided me an opportunity say THANKS for a job well done!

Lance,

My wife and I had a great experience buying our new Odyssey. She really enjoys it and so do the kids. Patrick was very helpful and everything went very smooth and it was a much better experience from when we bought our last car.
Thank you very much

Lance,

I'm loving my new Ridgeline I purchased from O'Brien's. This is my third car I've purchased from you. The deals have all been fair, the salesmen, Jim Manheimer and John Steward, were knowledgeable and communicated well, and the finance guys were clear with their information.

Hello Lance -
John Steward was exceptional in every way and I've already given his name to a friend who wants to look at the CRV.
Your business manager found me an auto loan rate I didn't even knew existed.
I love my new Honda CRV.
And I never lie.
Thanks very much,

Lance,



Once again I was pleased with the service on my Honda. Everyone was very professional.



Thank you

My experience was more than pleasant. I stopped in for an oil change. Joe
helped me. I came in a few minutes past 4:30 and Joe accepted me anyway. I
most often work with Joe when I come in for service and I feel he truly has
my best interests at heart. Joe is a great asset to Obrien Auto Group. I
don't have any suggestions for improvement at this time. Thank you!

Hi Lance,

Everyone who helped me from the service department - Joe and Greg - were very helpful and willing to help me out all they could with getting my older car fixed ... but it was a new transmission and not worth it due to the age of the car.



Larry (head of fleet division) was recommended to me by Joe and was very nice to work with. I was not planning on buying a new car at this time (that was the unfortunate part); however, Larry helped make it a positive experience despite getting hit with the transmission issue. All involved helped to make it a positive experience.



So I would like to commend Joe, Greg (head of service deparment) and Larry ... sorry I don't have their last names with me, but you know who they are.

Lance:

My experience was fantastic. Sully took really good care of me and babied me for two months after I wrecked my first car purchased in October, just to find me a very safe reliable vehicle. I didn't have to do any negotiating with prices or wait around for financing games. Hands down he is the best salesperson I have ever dealt with and trust me I have had my experience with buying cars. I will definitely return and refer others.

My experience was very pleasant. Joe went out of his way to ensure that I had great service.



Thank you!

Dear Lance,



I am using this opportunity to let you know that Joe Gomez in your Honda Service department is a real pleasure to work with.



I have been dealing with Joe since I starting doing business with you in 2006. He is industrious and does his best to make sure everything is taken care of to my satisfaction. He’s a real asset in your service department. I always make a point to work with Joe if he’s available.



Please give Joe a well-deserved pat on the back.

Hi Lance,



I had the best experience with my car repair this time. My 2009 Accord is having VSA problems. With my first problem, the service Dept wanted me to take the car home and wait for the light to come on again. It has already come on 3-4 times before I brought it in. The light came on as soon as I got back to Corvallis necessitating another trip to Salem the next day.



This time, the service dept. fixed the car the first time I brought it in. (I thought it was the same problem. It wasn't) I casually mentioned that they might as well change the oil since I was here. I was surprised to find that they changed the oil. I half expected them to forget. I would have. Anyway, Jesse Tarter (sp) was my service wirter and he did a wonderful job. Kudos to him!

Lance,



I thought my experience at your Honda dealership was outstanding. I would like to personally convey how great Jon Hansen is. What a hard worker!



I started this whole thing with a mere inquiry from some ad on the internet, just hoping to find out pricing. And because of Jon’s persistence I ended up buying a car from you. You should reward this young man with some special thing that he loves, a trip, or bonus or something that he likes. This entire experience I had, which was pleasant, was due to his hard work. I’m not saying he deserves a reward for selling ME a car, but I know he probably outsells most of his co-workers, correct? He is truly building a relationship for your dealership in Salem, of which I had no prior contact. Now I know about it and will refer friends there.



The only thing I could ask for that I didn’t get was a lesser price, and I know you have to make a profit to stay in business. So, nothing much I could add to my experience there. I love my new car, and it is my sixth Honda, my fifth accord. I had one Prelude back in 1995.



Since you are the General Manger, then you get to reap the benefits of good people like Jon.



Thank you for checking up on me. At this time I have no suggestions for improving things there.

We enjoy doing business with your company. No pressure to buy a car. We recently bought a 2013 CRV and I never felt that I was being pressured to purchase a vehicle from your company. We will be back to purchase our next vehicle from you guys. Thanks for caring enough to request feedback from your customer base.

Hi Lance,



I just wanted to follow up with you to let you know your staff has been REALLY GREAT! My son bought his first car from you and was treated very well! I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the straight forward way you conduct your business! Incidentally, my wife and I will be buying a car soon and we will definitely be in touch again!

Lance,



As I parked my car next to the service entrance, I was surprised and impressed to see Joe greeting me before I even got out of my car. Joe is faster than folks at Les Schwab.

I appreciate being able to schedule am appointment for the day I called. Work was completed quickly. The car wash is a very nice bonus.

In the upstairs waiting room, the wi-fi signal was intermittent or week on my ipad. I had to sit next to the router to get a strong signal.

Thanks for you help!!

It was a simple oil change so I didn’t even call ahead of time. I was told by one of service rep before that for a simple oil/filter change, I don’t really need to call for an appointment. I have been doing that ever since and I have never had any trouble before and it was same this time.


It was Joe who waited on me this time. It was very busy day and I had to wait for awhile but it was ok because I had nothing to do. When my turn came Joe did his thing and told me it will take about an hour and I said I will wait. Joe explained to me that my wife’s car is due for some major maintenance work and I told Joe I would like to wait until later. Joe never pressured me that I should or need to do this now. I appreciated that much. My car was ready when Joe said it would be. When I was ready to pay, one of your service man walked up to me and explained to me what they did and what they found and what they recommended. Joe was busy with other customer. It was very nice touch and I really like that. I have never seen him there before so he must be new.


You do have very nice staff and they all seem to do very good job. I am very happy and pleased to be your customer.

It was great working with Stan. The entire process from initial contact with Stan, to following up finding the car I wanted, to the negotiations, to the actual purchase paperwork could not have gone better. Will certainly be buying any future Honda from O'Brien Auto Group.

Hi Lance. Sorry for the delay but a busy past few days. As you know, i purchased the Fit through USAA buying service. I had 5 or 6 hits from dealers in the greater Portland area. However, one name stood out and that would be Patrick Mulhern. Back during my Radiology residency in Iowa City, Iowa in the early 70's i was a good friend of Bob Mulhern. Very unusual name and lo and behold Patrick is from cedar Rapids Iowa.Bob is probably a distant relative. After a long chat about Iowa, wrestling and our military service we got around to the Fit. We agreed on a price and that if the car wasn't ready by the time Sidonie's mother came for a visit you would give her a loner at no additional cost. All worked out for the best. She received the car on the 19th of Dec. We also agreed to a personal check to cover the cost which turned out to be $3 less than the previous price. I have bought many a car in my day but this was the best experience ever. Whether i am in Ca. or Ore. i will make every effort to purchase any future vehicles from you. Kudos to Patrick. Thanks for everything and esp. taking good care of my daughter.

I was thoroughly impressed with my experience at Honda of Salem. I drove 3 hours to do business with Jon Hansen instead of going to Portland. He completed the majority of my paperwork before I arrived at the dealership and had the car and paperwork ready for me to see/drive and complete when I got there. Instead of days spent driving around to several dealerships I was able to find the car I wanted at a price with which I was satisfied. Within an hour I was done and driving away from the lot. The gentleman in your business office (Harry?) was also very helpful and personable instead of pushy. I was also happy that he suggested the 7 year "wear and tear" warranty. It gives me that little bit more peace of mind that I made the right decision to drive further for better service. Many businesses forget the importance of customer service these days but those two guys in your office did not. Thank you for following up with me as well.

Lance,

I would be glad to share some information with you about my experience at O'Brein Auto Group. I recently leased a 2012 Honda Civic. I was way in over my head with the car I had and my fiance and I went in to see what kind of deal we could get that would get us into a more fuel efficient car with a lower total cost and monthly payment. Our sales guy, Brad, was very friendly, completely honest and extremely patient. He knew we weren't in a good position, he sympathized with us and worked with us. He is exactly the kind of person I like to deal with when buying anything, especially a new vehicle. Brad allowed us to drive the car we were interested in, educated us about the car, and then didn't even push when we told him there were other models of cars we wanted to go drive and other dealerships to visit. He gave us his card, let us know to call if we had any questions and let us walk away. There was no pressure, just friendliness. We went to other dealerships and drove other cars. We weren't looking for anything fancy. All the other cars we drove were very similar to the Civic, but I can tell you with 100% honestly, that Brad is the reason we came back to O'Brien to make our purchase. His customer service was outstanding. My fiance does not make decisions lightly and has to run the numbers himself and analyze everything before doing that and Brad was extremely patient and allowed him to do so.

Thank you for requesting my feedback and happy holiday!

Stan is one of a kind, and Eli was a pleasure to be with. Cindy and I had a pleasant experience with your patient and knowledgeable sales staff. The no-haggle pricing of the MAPS sale probably helped our experience; that's how we'd prefer to buy a car. Another dealership participating in the sale managed to make us feel manipulated in a subtle way. Thanks for clearly marking the prices of the cars offered in the sale. Thanks to Stan and Eli for helping us work through our decision between different models, new and used. So many test drives, so much patience, and all we bought was a base model Fit. Also kind words for the gentleman who handled our financial papers, whose name escapes me. Everyone represented your business well.

Lance:

Jon took excellent care of us. He presented information lucidly and
thoroughly and was completely non-confrontational. As I told him on Sunday,
it was the most pleasant car-shopping experience in my 64 years.

Thank you

I can't begin to tell you how much of a difference this last visit was. The service manager who took me out on the road was a very genuine and courteous. I really appreciated the fact that he took the time to go back to the dealership and pick up another CRV and take it out so we could compare the noise I was hearing. He was able to explain where the noise was coming from. And without any further need to hear the door lock make noise he had the motor assembly replaced. This employee deserves a GOLD STAR for service and customer relations. It's when the employee goes that extra mile that keeps happy customers returning for service and future purchases.

Thank you for listening to my experience.

My recent Honda service was flawless. I was driven to work on time, called
twice to be asked about additional services, and picked up promptly at the
beginning of my lunch hour. And my car was spotlessly cleaned! Thanks once
again...I'll be back! GW

I had a great experience doing business with O'Brien Auto Group. Joe helped me with everything I needed. He was friendly, personable, and clear. I felt like he was able to tell me what my car needed without pressuring me. He was able to get my car in right away and made my wait comfortable. When I got my car back, I was especially happy with the car wash and vacuum. Overall, quick service was delivered by friendly and professional staff and I would be happy to do business with you again. Thank you.

Hello,

Overall had a great experience with O'Brien Honda. Did all my researching and quotes online, Jon Hansen was consistently straight up with me and was quick to respond to questions.

When we picked up our Pilot I noticed a small paint defect in the rear door. Jon looked into it, then even drove up to Beaverton with a loaner car while he got it fixed. That kind of effort and service goes a long way with me.

Thanks

Hi Lance,



Did someone mention a free Starbucks card for feedback? You really know how to bribe a person.



This was the first time I had ever taken my 2010 Honda CRV into O'Brien. I just retired from teaching and before that, I always had to find a place that was open on weekends to do my oil changes and since my car had a recall that I had not attended to, I decided to do both.



The check in guys were terrific, but they weren't sure how long the recall adjustment would take because of it needing to be hooked to the computer, so they hooked me up with the courtesy car. The guys driving that were great too.



When I went to pick up the car, it was clean and ready to go and the receptionist took my payment and handed over the key with my paperwork.



Everything was seamless; the team should make you proud.


PS> The coupon for the oil change was impetus to take the car in, thanks for those.

Lance,



My experience with O'Brien Auto Group could not have been more satisfying.



My salesperson, Stan, was consistently courteous, helpful, knowledgable and friendly, making me feel welcome every time I visited the dealership during the course of the transaction. The terms offered me in purchasing the vehicle and trading my other vehicles were more than fair under the circumstances, specifically in helping me deal with the difficult situation of retrieving and trading a distressed vehicle that had broken down on the coast, prompting my need for a replacement. Matt was also very helpful, courteous, and responsive, quickly providing solutions to ensure that I would purchase the exact vehicle that I desired, while offering me a loaner that fit my needs until the vehicle arrives on your lot.



Your dealership was very competitive in comparison with other Honda dealers in Oregon that I visited, and in many respects, exceeded my expectations in what I was offered as part of the deal, including the display of fairness and professionalism in how terms were finally negotiated. Not once did I feel the "pressure" felt at other dealerships in wanting me to commit until I was comfortable with the information needed to make such an important decision. Finally, during the process of financing and the closing the deal, David was thorough, courteous and knowledgable, offering me the best rates possible, and working with the credit union to ensure that my approval was hassle free.



In summary, I wish to thank all of you again for treating me as I'm sure most people would like (but unfortunately, don't expect) to be treated during the often-dreaded car buying experience. I will certainly be recommending your dealership with enthusiasm to anyone interested in buying their next vehicle.



Best regards

Lance,

I have always had the best service relative to the quality, customer service and convenience at O'Brien Honda. My most recent visit was for a ongoing problem with my Fit. The staff member (Joe Gomez) in the service department went the extra mile to help me resolve the problem. I really appreciated his efforts on my behalf and the professional attention to my concerns.

Mr Donavan
Todd Jewett is I would have to say without a doubt the best 'car salesman' I have ever dealt with. I worked for a number of years for USNBk in the installment loan dept and met and dealt with many many car salesmen.

Mr Jewett made my experience at your dealership an exceptional one and I will recommend him to anyone I meet or know who is looking for a new car.
Thanks for the Starbucks card!

I brought in my car for an oil change without an appt and Matt was great to work with. He wrote up the order quickly, accepted my coupon, it was ready when promised, an he (Matt) came over to explain the comments on the service report to me. Matt also worked really hard to get the correct pronunciation of my last name. Most people usually just use their own pronunciation skills and end up totally blowing the correct pronunciation. Matt's attention to detail will take him far in his career.

Lance, having purchased many vehicles over my lifetime one common factor is first impressions with sales people. I found Tony to be one of the best I've done business with. He's very personable, professional, and I was at ease working with him the whole time. Years ago a friend who happened to be the father-in-law of a well known local dealer told me despite that, he didn't think he ever got a good deal on a car, of course, somewhat tongue in cheek. But I've always felt that way, too. Even though I paid MSRP for this car I'm comfortable I got a fair deal, considering where you had to go to find the color and model I wanted. I also was finally pleased I wasn't pressured into buying every gimmicky accessory or treatment offered by dealerships whenever a purchase is made. I've fallen for that in the past and spent money that returned no benefit. The few items that aroused interest with my wife and me were explained fully without pressure.

Once again, thank you for your service.

Lance

Service was excellent. Staff were friendly, went out of their way to make experience easy and even laughed with me, rather than at me, when I couldn't remember which State office bldg I worked at (only been there 15 years!) Great way to start the week. And it was so nice to come back to a clean car. Drop off and pick-up service were added bonuses and I certainly will continue to come into Salem Honda for maintenance on my CRV, which by the way, I love.

Hello Lance,

I wanted to contact you regarding my interactions w/ Jon Hansen.

Lance, in the past, I have experienced situations when dealing w/ car salesman, I always felt rushed or forced by a salesman to make a decision, the process was always long and drawn out, or feeling like all the information had not been relayed to me; however, when I came to O'Brien on 7/9/12, I was amazed at how I was treated and talked too. I was "blown away "with Jon's demeanor and his personality to be so welcoming and very very honest. His communication is very consistent and clear; he is approachable and a very kind man. I wanted to make sure that I informed someone of my pleasant experience w/ Jon and the wonderful work he does.

I left the O'Brien dealer feeling very good about my purchase and the information that was given to me by Jon. That helped a lot with making a hard decision, an easy and comfortable one to make:)

I will definately be recommending O'Brien to family members and friends as I feel adamant they would receive the exact same courtesy, support, and respect that Jon showed to me. My hats off to Jon and the O'Brien dealer crew, all very wonderful and amazing people!!!
Thank you

Dear Lance,

I am writing to let you know what a GREAT experience we had at O'Brien Auto Group, in large part thanks to Jon Hansen. We were searching for a new Honda Odyssey to replace our 2001 Odyssey and started our search at our local Honda dealership. Unfortunately our experience was not what we had hoped it would be so after three days of back and forth, we came home frustrated and turned to the internet to request quotes from other dealers. Jon was quick to respond to my Sunday afternoon online request and let me get right to the point. In a matter of minutes, we had agreed on a price and Jon had confirmed our desired vehicle was in stock. We quickly got down to business via phone, fax and email and when I pulled in on Monday we sealed the deal and I was out the door with my new Odyssey. So simple!

The no-nonsense, friendly service we received from Jon made this the most pleasant car-buying experience we have ever had. I wish we had known about Jon before we visited any other dealership! I greatly appreciated that he did not commit to anything he couldn't deliver, that he valued our time (especially considering I was driving from Beaverton) and that he is so adept at communicating via electronic means. He was organized, knew exactly what I wanted and had everything ready when I arrived. Jon will be the first person we contact whenever we are in the market for an automobile and I would eagerly refer anyone to Jon Hansen at O'Brien Auto Group.

In addition to Jon, we also had the pleasure of dealing with David Becken and two members of the service team. David expertly ran us through the financial agreements and had everything in perfect order. The two members of the service team (wish I had gotten their names!) quickly dealt with our very minor door adjustment; assessing and fixing the problem expediently. Everyone we came in contact with was a pro.

Thanks to Jon and the team at O'Brien Auto Group, this transaction exceeded our expectation of the car-buying experience. We will definitely be back!

Lance,

I'm glad you asked! After my appointment yesterday, I knew that I wanted to make sure and call about my Honda service experience. Top notch! In the past I have felt uneasy and anxiety riden about how rushed I felt about every process. I felt like I was an inconvenience rather than a customer which is often the case in a lot of places these days, and especially a female with car issues. Yesterday, was not the case at all!! Even though a lot of customers were coming and going and there was a lot going on, I felt like a valued customer from start to finish. I also appreciated getting updated with a phone call on other services as well as a call for an early finish.


Prior to yesterday's experience I was considering finding another place to get my car serviced when necessary. Not anymore. In fact, the past few experiences at Honda have been very professional and positive. What a relief!


Thanks

Don't need to send me a Starbucks card, I already have a Gold card. But I
miss Jason who is off pursuing a different career.

However you now have Shawn who is great. Gregg is a great manager. I needed
to leave my car longer than I expected and because I needed to provide
transportation for my grandson, they graciously provided a loaner car.

Your Honda Service is great and they truly know what the word service means
as they show it each and every time I come in.

My car is only 6 years old but has 220,000 miles on it. I do a lot of
highway mileage but because of your great service department it runs as
smoothly and as well as when I bought it new.

Kudos to Shawn, Gregg and all your service staff who greet me by name each
time I come in. Can't forget Dave who has provided shuttle service when I
need to be at work.

In my opinion Honda of Salem is the best

Lance , as I have told you in the past. SHAWN SPRING is the bestest service advisor ever!

Lance



We had a good experience with Eli (can't remember his last name) and Mike Sullivan. I let them know what I could do and they came close enough to get it done. I didn't feel like I was being worked or B. S.'d. I thought it was a positive transaction. I'd recommend O'Brien to friends.

Hi Lance,

I do love a cup of free coffee....

I was able to make a service appt. at a time that worked well for me. Matt was very professional and followed through on every promise. The bottle of touch-up paint (of the correct color) that I had requested was already in the car to I did not have to take time at the parts department. The car was clean and ready by the time promised. An added bonus was that I paid no more for the service than if I had gone elsewhere. Overall my experience was excellent.
There is only one problem. My expectations for future visits are set rather high!

Lance,

I bought a new Fit from your dealership and I have to say it was the least painful of any new car purchase I have made. The sales person, Stan, was knowledgeable, courteous, and represented your company very well. I think the thing that we appreciated more than any other was not having to dicker over the price. We got the car we wanted, painted the color we wanted, within 2 or 3 days. Mike was instrumental in getting the car for us.

Thank you for the service your company provided. I will certainly make your company our first place to look and the first place we recommend for a new car
Best wishes

Excellent! Joe Gomez knew right away what the issue was and scheduled me in to get it taken care of. He arranged for a loaner car which was great. Excellent, timely and professional service, as usual from Joe and service dept.

Hi Lance:


Thanks for your email and thanks for a great car buying experience. I probably cannot help you with improving customer service, because I can’t imagine what else anyone could want. I researched the Honda Accord hard before I put out requests for price bids. We knew what we were going to buy, we just didn’t know where. Jon Hanson responded quickly to my request and gave me a no games, no BS price and then stuck to it when we offered to buy the car. You guys were $150 less than the next lowest bid and $1400 less than the highest bid. Coupled with the great service from Jon, where to buy became a pretty easy choice.

Jon has recommended your service department to me so when our Accord needs its first oil change so I will give that a shot. I liked the combination of good service, pleasant people and the best price around. I will happily recommend you to any of my friends or family. We probably won’t be buying another new car soon because from what I understand from all my research is that Hondas pretty much last forever!


Thanks again

Hi Lance --

Renee and I had a great experience with O’Brien Auto Group. I would have never thought about driving to Salem (from PDX) for a car, but Brad at your Honda dealership made the negotiation a snap over the phone. The best part was that we were in and out of the dealership with our new Odyssey van within 1hr. With a 1yr old in toe, we didn’t have a lot of patience for a long purchasing process.

We will definitely look to O’Brien again when we buy our next car.

enjoyed working with your organization and and will be back in the future to purchase another car from you guys.Please personally tell Stan that he did a great job throughout the complete sales process in getting us our new CR-V. There was not one hiccup in dealing with Stan. We really enjoyed purchasing a car from him and will be sure to tell others who may be in the market that Stan is the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lance,

My experience was wonderful. First of all, I just loved my salesperson Tony Owings. He was great! I would like to give a special shout out to Mike (Sales Manager) and David (Finance). All three gentlemen made my experience at O'Brien AutoGroup wonderful!

Thank you

We have only had our new Honda CRV less than a week but so far are quite happy with our purchase. Jeff Jaynes was our salesmen and we were happy with the way he helped us to make the deal. He was very helpful and we did not feel pressured to make our purchase. I worked for a dealership for 18 years and am happy to see there have been some changes in how customers are treated. I was dreading the experience of buying from a dealership and except for the time it took (which I did expect) the experience was pleasant

Lance,

I had great service from the Honda service department. I was a little nervous from my last experience earlier this year but was very pleased with the new guy that helped me when I dropped off my car. He was very thourough in explaning things and answered all my questions.

Your staff did a great job of getting my family into the vehicle we were looking for.

I worked with John Steward to get a great deal on the Pilot we are leasing. John did a great job of setting and meeting appointment times and calling me back to get the details of the trade and new lease worked out.

I live about 50 miles from your dealership and had tried to work with a closer dealership to get a good deal on a Pilot. I was not treated very well at that dealership. This was not the case at Salem Honda. Your staff are great and working with John was a fantastic experience. He did a great job of getting all the details worked out. My wife and I were able to show up at your dealership, take a look at the Pilot and sit down and do the paperwork for the lease.

I have recommended your dealership to several friends already and I will be looking to your dealership in the future to make a purchase on a CRV for a family member.

John is a great asset to your team and I look forward to calling on him to help with the new purchase in few months.

Thanks

Lance,


Another excellent experience with your team. Shawn took care of car problem, got the car back to me at time he said it would be done. Even though I have moved to Silverton and the commute is a nuisance, I will continue to bring my car to your service department when it needs work done. Thanks to all your folks for being reliable, honest, efficient and friendly.

Hello Lance,

I want to thank you for the response. Your service department went above and beyond the call of duty in helping me with my issue. I want to especially single out Joshua McElwain for personally helping me with obtaining the service I needed on my vehicle. I appreciate everything he did for me. Thank you again. And I want to thank you in advance for the Starbuck's card. I am sure my wife will be snatching that away from me immediately upon receipt. Ha Ha.

Hello, my name is Bryan Smith. I recently purchased a 2012 Honda Civic LX from O'Brien Auto Group. And I just wanted to say my experience was very enjoyable. Your salespeople were very helpful in selecting my new car, especially Craig Whitney and Mauro. It was the first new car I've ever purchased and they were very patient with me during the entire process, never pushy like most salesmen and I really appreciate that. Craig was very open and honest with me and that is a very rare quality that you don't see much these days.

Thank you so very much and I will tell everyone I know to go to O'Brien Auto Group for their next car purchase. And I hope my next car purchase in the future will be from O'Brien.

I recently went into Salem Honda for a oil change and after the service writer got all my information he informed me that I was due for a 30,000 mile service. I apprecate the service writer telling me when I need additional service and I always like when my CRV is done the car is washed and vaccumed. Thanks Salem Honda.

Good Afternoon,

I did visit you service area on 5/3/2012 for a service. As usual I had a great experience. Joe was my service person and he advised me of the additional services I need. I always appreciate this because I intend to keep my Honda forever and so I want to take really good care of it.

He also keeps me informed about when the car will be ready. I give him and the service a 10. Thank you

Hi Lance,


I had a great experience working with Jon as part of your Internet sales team and your finance guy (John). The best thing I can say is there were no surprises. No hidden costs or unplanned agendas. Everything was straight forward and clear. When I declined an option, I felt no pressure. Maybe it was obvious that I know what I wanted and what I didn’t want.


Anyway, this was a top level “5” experience.

Lance - I can not tell you what a positive experience my mother and I had dealing with your people and your dealership. Truly (without exaggeration) the BEST car buying experience I've ever had. And I've bought several new cars. Tony and Hero were great and really did everything they could to make my moms experience a good one. I have purchased cars over the internet before but even those didn't compare to this. I will highly recommend your dealership to everyone I talk to as well as make the trip to Salem for my own (the purchase was for my mother) next car purchase. The low pressure and stress free buying process is worth the little extra time in the car to get to you.

If I had to recommend ANYTHING to improve the experience, I wouldn't be able to come up with a single thing.

Thanks so much for hiring great people ! ! ! People are what makes the difference. The rest, they're just cars. :-)

Lance;

Thanks for your concern on how to improve service to your customers. I will say that of all the cars that I have purchased the complete sales process was hassle free and being able to get a "fair" price for our CRV was without the stress and anxiety that I have experienced in the past. Stan was a joy to work with, we never felt that he was trying to pressure us or make us feel like we were bothering him with our seemingly endless aray of questions. He knows the vehicle well and had a very low key approach in showing us the car. Stan is a asset to your organization.

Thanks

I just forwarded the letter that I sent to Kendall, in which he sent it back with an apology. They are a nice facility, however, I think that having a new facility with a restaurant, and stuff makes them less on their toes to help out the serious customers.

My family really enjoyed the experience at O'Brien Auto Group. Like I said, we honestly felt like we were family there. I was kicking back on the couch enjoying conversation and song with Todd Jewell, and every employee in the O'Brien family was very sociable, etc.

A giant thanks also to Brad. He is an encyclopedia of Honda. He shared his wealth of knowledge with us on all the electronics and operations of the 2012 CRV Honda. His help saved many pages of studying. Alleluia, Amen !

We will recommend O'Brien Auto Group to all our friends, face book friends, church members, neighbors, and even to people that I don't know, until I meet them (which could be someone in the grocery store line next to me. Hee Hee, its true, I chat with everyone.

We LOVE, LOVE the Honda CRX!! It is awesome, both back seat and front. My mom loves driving it, and it is wonderful seeing her happy while driving. My daughter can't wait until Black Friday, we always take advantage of the annual sale. We are Ninja Soldiers of Black Friday, and now we are especially prepared to store our purchases safely in the CRX. This year, we can go back and forth across town on Black Friday while saving on gasoline. It just doesn't get better than that. We are planning a visit to the coast soon, if any of you want to tag along, just let us know. Looking forward to sending others in your direction. P.S. I even enjoyed visiting with the young man that swaps vehicles to other lots for you. You select some great employees and they all deserve to know how wonderful your customers feel that they are.

Til next time

Hello Lance,



We received our new CRV last night. We are very pleased with our purchase and the experience we had dealing with the O'brian Auto Group. We bought the car over the internet/phone with Tony Owings. He was professional and friendly. We drove to Salem, from West Linn to pay for our car and sign the paper work. Visiting your dealership was a nice experience. We appreciate having the car delivered to our home. We will recommend you to family and friends in the market for a new car.

Great service for the work done on the 9th. It was the first time I used your shuttle service and it worked out great.... I think the shuttle drivers name was Joe or Josh (big, tall guy), he was a really nice, pleasant guy to work with!

Lance Joe Gomez hooked me up again he's excellent kind courteous and respectful thanks again for all of the excellent service.

You have made buying a car enjoyable. I always dread going to a dealership. It is like going to the dentist. But buying over the internet was a breeze. There was no hassles when we set down to do the paperwork. Thank you Obrien Honda.

My experience was excellent. Matt Silbernagel was taking care of me and he did a fine job. He is a nice young man and I look forward to working with him in the future. Have a good day.

Lance, the service was very good both from Shawn and Matt. On Wednesday I
brought in the CRV and on Thursday my Accord. I had the "Works" oil change
and inspection. I felt like folks made good service suggestions and did not
pressure.

Lance,

We had a great experience. Having just moved to the Portland area from Chicago (and incurring significant cost to do so), we were thrilled that O'Brien was the most competitive on price out of the more than 10 dealers we contacted.

Had he not told me he was brand new to the group, I would have guessed Todd Jewitt was a seasoned professional. He was great to work with and was very knowledgeable about the Odyssey we selected. Mike Sullivan and John Judkins also spent a great deal of time with our family and let our young daughter explore the inside of a vintage Civic hatchback (which she really got a kick out of).

We'll definitely recommend you to our friends, and if there is a formal customer satisfaction survey we can complete to help you reach your incentives with Honda, please let us know.

Regards

I just wanted to thank you all for helping me get into a new Honda van. After all the stress and trauma I have experienced lately, you all provided me with a bit of peace, comfort and joy! God bless you all! (Please forward to Hero and Todd - I don't have email addresses for them and I really want them to know they were a blessing to me too, thank you!)

I wanted to share with you what I posted on YELP and on Google/Honda of Salem - I hope this brings some additional business your way - you deserve it!:

Due to an unpleasant situation I was faced with the need to find a new vehicle after just purchasing a Honda Odyssey 7 months prior. Today, at O’Brien Auto Group - Honda of Salem, three employees of the Sales team, Brad Meyer, Mike Sullivan and Todd Jewett and a finance manager, Hero Yoon, took my miserable, stressful, unpleasant life circumstance and showed me what true caring, support and kindness is.


They demonstrated exceptional customer service, something I believe is quite rare to find these days, and they were prompt in responding to phone calls and emails and numerous ones if I might add. They were easy to work with – stress-free, honest and accommodating. Did I mention “ACCOMODATING”?!


One word to sum it up – Phenomenal!!!


I highly recommend this dealership and plan to send friends and family there way! God bless you guys! You really did take one piece of the stressful puzzle I am dealing with and create some joy and some comfort!

Thank you and God bless you - Brad Meyer, Mike Sullivan, Todd Jewett and Hero Yoon!

Our experience with O'Brien autogroup was very satisfying.

Brad Myers and the finance team helped us complete all the paper work in a timely fashion and promptly delivered the vehicle. Your team met all our expectations.


Thank you for following up.

Joe was very nice and helpful, service was excellent, promised in 2 1/2 hours, only took one hour.

Feedback regarding Honda Service on March 23:


1) Joe, at the counter, was very pleasant, businesslike and reviewed my request for an oil change, brake light replacement and then reviewed/suggested other service that was needed. I had a coupon but he offered a better coupon, which was very much appreciated. He helped me move a box out of the trunk to ensure access to replace the brake light.


2) After about 2 hours waiting at home, Joe called me to let me know that there was a oil leak but could wait. And gave me an estimate over the phone, which allowed me to decide to have the repair done or wait. But it is always a bit of a shock to find additional $800 - $1000 repair needed. He called a second time to confirm pickup time.


3) The driver that drove me home and picked me up was also pleasant, polite and I felt safe. He was on-time for picking me up as promised.

4) When I picked up the car, I was happy to find the front carpet vacuumed. (Back carpet was not accessible due to boxes.) But would have been nice if they helped to wipe off the front dashboard. (I didn't notice if the car had an exterior wash... Sorry.)


5) Joe also ensured he reviewed the bill details with me. I appreciated the explanation for the charges and the things that were done and the reminder about the oil leak.

6) Overall, your personnel give a good impression and I feel like I received excellent service. I believe the maintenance costs are competitive and coupons definitely help. The coupons are (to me) your best reminders to encourage repairs or maintenance. The staff are the best advertisement to come back and they treat women with the same respect as men.


Thank you

Hello, Lance. Yesterday my husband and I completed a sales transaction for a 2007 Toyota Yaris that I found online last week. Initially, I did your "live chat" with Brad and had planned to drive up to Salem from our home in Klamath Falls to check it out last weekend, but my husband has health issues and we soon realized that he would not be able to make the trip. I called Brad to let him know that we wouldn't be coming after all, and explained why. Brad immediately sprang into action to resolve the problem, and asked how far I thought my husband COULD make it - I told him Medford, so without a moment's hesitation, he asked, "How about I drive the Yaris down to Medford and meet you there?" I was absolutely stunned at the suggestion! Talk about unheard of customer service! SO, to make a long story short, we met Brad and his family for breakfast in Medford yesterday morning, completed the necessary paperwork and payment, had a lovely visit with his very special family, and drove home in our "brand new" (to us) little "clown car."

I remain totally impressed with the extraordinary service given by Brad. He brings new meaning to the term "going the extra mile" - how about over 200 miles??? He was not only generous with his time, but knowledgeable about the car, efficient with the paper work, and actually spent quite some time driving around Medford prior to meeting us in search of a car wash so he could deliver the car to us in pristine condition! Unbelievable but true!
PLEASE extend our deepest gratitude and sincere appreciation to Brad for all that he did for us. Some times words are not enough - this is one of those times.

Hi Lance:

Again I just want to say what a great experience we had when we purchased the car last week. It was a nice feeling not to be pressured and Brad Meyer was on top of everything. Any questions, worries or concerns were answered quickly by Brad and to our satisfaction.

And to top it off – we love our new car. Thank everyone so much for all the help.

Hey Lance I am sure you have been told by now that my husband and I purchased a Honda Insight on Saturday. We absolutely love the car. Brad Meyer was our salesperson and did an excellent job. I met Mike and Matt and they were great also. The lady in the finance dept. Jenette(Ibelieve) was great. We were at your dealership along time ago but I have to say it is so much better now than then. Thanks again and if we are to buy another car we will be sure to look Brad up again.

Lance,

I financed a 2012 Honda Insight Sat. Mar. 17 at Honda of Salem.
Jim Mally is my sales person. I met David (I think that's his name) in the Finance office. David was a great help with financing--a genuine expert, a gentleman and a warm personality.

Jim is a highly competent, knowledgeable, helpful, courteous and effective sales person. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jim! He is commendable and deserves accolades!
I will recommend Jim Mally and Honda of Salem to anyone who asks me about your dealership when they see my new 2012 Insight!

I had a great experience Saturday at your dealership.

Hi,this is Kimberley Herd. I bought the grey Honda Insight from you. Stan
was excellent . He explained the controls clearly and helped make the whole
car buying experience . I will definitely tell all my friends to come to
your dealership. Thank you again for my car. I love it ! Sincerely,

Hi Lance,

This was our first experience with Honda of Salem and I would have to say that it was a great one. We had excellent service. Everything went smoothly. We were offered a free loaner car which was great for us because I have three children to shuttle around and we live in Independence. So this made it much easier and affordable to be without our van for a time. And when they found out that a part that they needed wasn't in stock but would be the next day, they simply said, "keep the loaner car overnight and your car will be ready by the afternoon tomorrow." So that was no problem! I had a car to go where we needed to the next morning and then was able to swing by Honda after school with the kids. Shawn was very polite and I appreciated his help in unloading the car with my kids and backpacks!

So we'll definitely be back when the need arises.

Thank you so much for the great customer service!

Thank you for asking. I was quite pleased with the quality of service yesterday. The service for my car was done ahead of schedule -- I would like to thank Shawn Spring for his Kind and frequent updates regarding the service and pointing out other necessary service items needed for my vehicle. Additionally, I’m appreciative that you have a comfortable waiting area equipped with WIFI. I was able to work while I waited for the service to be completed.


Best regards

I dealt with Joe Gomez and he was superb. He took his time with me and answered all of my question in a quick and pleasant manner. I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks

Hi Lance,

We have always had great service at Salem Honda, that's why we travel from the Oregon Coast. It takes us 1.5 hrs to drive from home.

Joe is the best and we feel very confident that our car is in good hands. We will be back for sure.

Just wanted to let you know that your service department is wonderful. I have always received great service and treated with respect.

Thank you a very satisfied Honda CRV owner

Our experience with the Honda dealership in Salem was excellent. Our salesman, Eli Gaspar got us the car we wanted at the price we wanted with very little information. In my own option I think the dealership went well beyond our expectations, they had to go to Tri City for the car. I will most definitely be recommending your dealership when I hear someone is looking to buy a car.

Hi Lance,

I just want to say how much I appreciate the staff at O'Brien. My 17 year old daughter is responsible now for the upkeep of the Honda since she is pretty much the one who drives it the most. She came home the other day after having the oil changed and was so upbeat about how well you all treat her when she comes in. She mentioned how Mr. Gomez is always friendly and helpful. One of the best perks about having purchased from O'brien has been the service we have received through the years. Thanks to all your staff--our family has never once met an employee of O'brien that we didn't like!

Hello Lance,


I wanted to take a moment to respond to your request for feedback, which I appreciate you inquiring about. My guess is your continued interest in client feedback helped contribute to my recent positive experience at your Salem Honda Dealership. your staff was friendly and personable from the moment I walked in the door (in fact from the very first time I talked to somebody on the phone). I was very well taken care of by your staff and would like to particularly mention a few of your associates that really made me feel good about my recent purchase. Antonio Ownings provided excellent service and followed through promptly with everything he said he would do. I felt very comfortable with his professional and friendly manner. Managers Mike and Matt really worked with me to get the vehicle cost and monthly payments into an affordable range for me. During the financing portion Steve Langdon answered my many questions about the process with patience and consideration even when it was past closing time. The process went very smoothly and I am quite happy with my purchase. Thanks again for your interest in customer satisfaction and doing so much to ensure positive client experiences. I would definitely recommend Honda of Salem.

Dear Mr. Donavan,

I just picked up my new CR-V last night and am thrilled with it! Jim Mally was our salesman and he took very good care of us explaining all the details of our new car. I appreciate the time he took and also how he kept us in the loop until our car arrived. This is our first brand new car in many years and we are looking forward to lots of fun adventures in our new Honda!


Thanks

Hi,

I received my CRV yesterday and love it. Jim Mally was absolutely wonderful in going over all the options and how they work. He did a great job.

My husband and I are very pleased with the service we have received and would definitely recommend you to our friends. No pressure in the sales process which is nice, everyone was friendly and thats what you want.


Thanks again

Hi Lance,

My experience was fantastic! I bought my BMW through Stan and could not be more happy. This was the third car that I have bought from him over the past 8 years. My husband and I both have always had a very pleasant experience with him. Plus, we love our car and the follow up service! Thank you!!!

Hi Lance,

Again, I would like to say that my experience with the service department has been great. The $19.95 oil change was a great price and a great value and I look forward to having my CR-V serviced there again soon.

Thanks

The terrific coupon deal brought me in sooner than I planned and although you were quite busy and told me an hour and a half for wait time, I was out of there in an hour! Great service-as I told the other women waiting in the "lounge"!

Hi Lance. My experience yesterday was great, from intake to bull payment. Jason was prompt, focused and helpful. Your courtesy car driver was prompt, friendly and got me to and from where I needed to be. This was my first experience with O'Brien (it's a new car), but we'll definitely be back.

My experience was great! John Steward was totally awesome, very helpful, polite and an overall enjoyable person to do business with.

Jeff, the paper guy, was also very professional, polite and helpful completing the finance part. There was another guy in the sales dept, Im not real good with names, but he did a great job at explaining the wonderful deal he could offer me on the CRV. The people in the repair department changed my oil in my 2003 CRV, washed it and vacuumed it out too. They were super polite, efficient and helpful too. Sorry I dont remember their names either. Overall, I dont think the experience could have been any better, it was awesome - and I love my new car, my son inherited my 2003 CRV - and he loves it.

thanks for everything

Lance,

Brad was wonderful to work with and we would definately go through your dealership again when we need another car. It was by far the most pleasant car-buying experience we've had.

Hi Lance,

I can't say enough nice things about the service and care I received from your staff. Tony was such a pleasure to work with. He was able to help me find a vehicle that suited my needs as well as my tight budget. Additionally, he and Jerry in finance were willing to work with the banks to secure a better auto loan for me. After a mistake with some of the papers, Jerry drove out to my house to have me re-sign them the very same night.

I know I will definitely be recommending my friends and family to your auto group.

Thanks so much for the fantastic service!

Lance:

Once again, I am writing to say thanks for the excellent service provided by
the Honda Service Department in Salem. Jason and Shawn took great care of
my car. In the process, the mechanic found an oil leak and had it repaired
before my warranty runs out in a week. And it's always great to see Greg's
smile running around the service department assisting wherever needed to
minimize any wait time! I've been bringing my Honda's in for service since
the early 1980's, and don't want to go anywhere else for service.

Thanks!

As I hve been dealing with Delon and now with OBrien I can only say the service ,customer relationship is excellent
Salesmann Jim Malley was very good, good job/ will recommand anytime

Hi, Lance:


Everything was great as usual: nice people, good work, good value, strong coffee, etc. I might add some decaf or tea or something in the lounge, and a couch or some more "loungy" furniture. Maybe move the vintage Civics upstairs? :) Otherwise, just keep up the good work!

I am always treated like gold when i come in. Jason and Greg A are my two go- to guys, they never disappoint me. Oil change, replaced both headlights, washed-wiped down vacumned - and I was outta there in 45 minutes, I LOVE the service dept. Thanks so much for these two guys honda owner for over 20 years!!

Dear Lance,


Thanks for your interest. I had forgotten my coupon for oil change at home and was told if I brought it in they would honor the price at checkout. Well we ended up not going home and when they called to say car was ready I asked if they had time to do the recalls on our ridgeline so we traded cars and since I hadn't been home yet Jason found a extra coupon he had and let me use it. I not only appreciated the coupon, I was grateful that they could do the recalls on the truck also. Thanks for having such a great team.

Lance,

As usual my experience was great. This time I had an appointment in the morning but I overslept and missed it. I decided to go in the afternoon just in case they could fit me in for an oil change. The gentleman at the first desk (I don't remember his name) was available first. I said that I missed my appointment with Joe and needed an oil change. I was impressed because he didn't tell me to wait for Joe. He took my keys and got my car information and then passed me to Joe. He was very friendly and helpful. My guess is commission is a part of this job and so I was very impressed by his helpfulness even though I wasn't "his" customer.

You at O'Brien are always very accommodating when we come over for service. Your driver took my husband to find a place for him to have breakfast while he waited for our car to be serviced..thank you.

Hi Lance,

My experience was great. I got in on time and the work was completed in the time promised. Joe Gomez provided the service and he was very courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable of what needed to get done.



Thanks

I have to say that this was the best experience I’ve had at the service center since I’ve bought my car several years ago, thanks to Shawn, your counter person. I’m going to Shawn from now on at the Salem Service Center, because he was fantastic!

Thank you.

Lance

Dustan was great to work with. He was professional and respectful. Buying a car can be stressfull. Dustan took the stress out of it. We were both on the same page and it made it hassel free. I added a warranty as it is a used car and I was made to feel good about the decision by Dave as I signed papers. Will recommend O'Brian to anyone anytime....


Thanks

Hello,

My experience with your service department was excellent. I made an appointment and arrived a few minutes early. I was bringing my Honda CRV in for "The Works" oil change and a recall fix. Even though I was expecting to wait about 2 hours, the work was complete in only 1 hour. It was a nice suprise to hear my name called to come to the cashier after only an hour. The waiting room was comfortable and clean. Jason Carter in the service dept was fast, friendly and his experience showed. I would recommend your dealership to anyone.


Thanks for the great service

This was the best new car experience we've had. we previously bought hondas from sterling, hannah, & capitol city in wa. Jeff went the extra mile from start to finish, a pleasure to deal with.

You know, its always easier to find things wrong rather than good with service. Which makes it hard to reply because I really can't come up with any complaints.

Tony was excellent to work with. No preasure and very good at showing and explaining various options and models. I came in fairly informed about what I could afford and what I needed and what Honda offered and he picked up on that quick and didn't take me through the hoops of sale pitches other deals had.Very personable and professional I'd send family to him.

The only other person I worked with that the financing guy, and I'm terrible with names. But he also, was one of the best people I've had the pleasure to work with on a car 'closing'. Explained things clearly and percisly - and didn't seemed bothered at all when I asked for more details or deeper explaination. Felt very genuine and likeable.

Overall I found the experience very low preasure, the staff very accmodating and helpful.

About the only complain I have, is no free donuts in the waiting area! lol
(The Honda dealer I bought my last Civic from in Nashville had free Krispy Cremes all day, popcorn, and soda. But Nashville is a huge market with only one Honda Dealer and no fewer than 4 or 5 people in there all day long. So it makes more sense for them. Just giving you guys a bad time.

Dear Lance,

I would like to say thank you for your great service. Shane and I had a wonderful experience with you guys. Our purchase was quick and easy with no hassle. Eli gasper helped us with this purchase and he was wonderful to work with. I give all credit to him! He was very patient and was really willing to work with us,(he even said he would come in on his day off to help us) J We are very pleased and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Thanks again

My husband and I just
bought our first Honda at O'Brien Autogroup and right from the begining we
were treated with respect. Jim Mally came out and greeted us right away and
answered all of our question and we we said we still wanted to look around
he wasn't pushy or insiting that we had to buy right now. He gave us his
card and the information we were looking for. After we test drove some
other cars at other dealerships we decided we wanted to come back and work
with Jim. We ended up buying the Honda Fit and are Very excited and happy
with our purchase. Great transaction all the way around.

We had a very positive experience buying our Odyssey. When I first went in last Tues Scott Koch greeted me right away and helped me look at minivans. He talked to Mike and they offered me a great price. I went to the Toyota dealership on Thurs and had to wait to get help and was not given a straight answer on price. So I brought my husband back to Obrien Honda on Saturday. Our family had a very busy schedule for the weekend and Scott, Mike, and Jerry (in finance) were very accommodating. We had a good experience and Will recommend O'Brian Honda to friends. Also, our family attends Salem First Baptist Church (SFB) and O'Brian generously allows SFB parking on park of their property on

Sunday mornings.

Thank you.

Lance,


We were very pleased with our experience with Brad. It was so easy to email him and communicate with short phonecalls, texts, and mostly email. He let me know exactly what I could expect to spend and get for financing. I was dealing with another dealership at the same time and it was horrible - I dreaded everytime they called. Brad was short precise and didn't "annoy" me at all or push me -- he let me go at my own pace.

Loving my new CR-V!!!

Mr. Donavan,


I live in Wilsonville and work in Salem. I went to the dealership in W'Ville a couple of times but went back to O'Brien because of the superior service. Jason Carter has been my service guy for a few years now and I love doing business with him. I know I'm in good hands.

Hi Lance,



Yes, it was all good. Courteous, efficient, and a great Groupon deal for my oil change! Honestly, I wouldn't have brought it to a dealership if it weren't for the Groupon discount because of the higher price. But it being my first oil change on my new car, I was really happy to be able to do so because the mechanics know this car so well. Thanks!

Your Service Reps are so courteous, it's a pleasure to bring your car in for
service, you feel confident in letting the O'Brien Family take care of your
vehicle!

Honda CRV update. Made arrangements with Shawn to have recall work on timing and fuel injector work done. He said bring it in after lunch and we will get it right in. And they did just THAT, no hassel, no delay. Just good timely work. Thanks.

I know you are all the way down in OR, but I may just take my Civic to you if service is that good! If you or your sales/service team have any photos of happy customers please send them to me so I can make content. Thanks, and keep up the awesome work.

Lance,

Thank you for the opportunity to rave about Shawn. I have been using O'Brien since the purchase of my Honda Fit almost 4 years ago and while the service has been adequate, this is the first time when I have received complete "red carpet" service. Shawn went above and beyond to handle the simple needs I had. He took the time to walk through every step of my receipt and I left feeling like O'Brien must be doing something completely different to make sure its customers have a great experience. Thank you O'Brien and huge kudos to Shawn!


Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Another good job. I called Shawn and got an appointment the same day for the recall on PCM. in and out in less than a hour and a half. Good Work. Thanks

I took my Honda CRV to the O'Brien service shop because I received a manufacturer's recall notice in the mail. I received drive in service without the need for an appointment. I took the vehicle in during an unexpected break in my schedule and it was serviced very quickly. The car was ready sooner than promised. Absolutely no complaints here. (That is two great service appointments in a row!)

We recently took our Honda van in for an oil change. The rear AC unit had leaked and I asked if they could check it out for me while I had it in. They said they could.....no problem! It turned out to be a plugged water drain which they quickly unplugged for no charge. We so appreciate the great staff at Honda! They are efficient and always do a great job!

Dear Mr. Donavan:

I want to report that again I had excellent service. Jason was the Tech. who waited on me. After taking the car and finding out what needed to be done he came and explained to me what needed to be done and ask my permission to make the corrections. When the car was ready I was a happy customer. The young ladies at the paying desk was very friendly and nice also. Thanks for your service, I’m happy with Jason’s customer relations attitude.

Hey Lance,

O'Brien is my HONDA dealer from this point on! That is, as long as you don't change the way your doing business and continue to use and evolve your internet sales department. It's the only way I'll purchase a car... Also Brandon Bodine is an exceptional salesman and perfect for Internet sales!!

Thanks!

We had a great experience with Honda. We went in for an oil change. However, the condensate drain tube in the rear air conditioning unit was plugged. The fellows in the shop took care of it quickly and it was greatly appreciated as it was leaking when we used it. You have a great bunch of guys back there! Thank you!

Hi Lance,

I apologize for such a long delay in response to your e-mail. As you previously saw, I purchased my brand new 2011 CR-V on Aug. 20th and have logged over 6,000 miles on it since then. We've taken it to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Long Beach, WA, Mt. Hood and I also use it as my daily driver. The mileage has been great and I'm so glad I decided to go with the EX-L model. I've already purchased the all weather floor mats and cargo mat for it. My son calls it "Mommy's new car" and he loves the sun roof the most. The weekend before Thanksgiving, it snowed 3-4 inches up at my in-laws house near Mt. Hood, so I got to test out the traction control and 4 wheel drive handling on the snowy roads. I look forward to taking it up snowboarding this season and hopefully I can purchase the roof rack and snowboard rack in time!

Thank you to Patrick and your entire team for helping us get this vehicle at the right price and in the exact color I was looking for. Apparently it's one of the hardest colors to find, which makes it easier for me to know it's mine. :o)


Again, I apologize for the longest delay in responding to your e-mail. I am very happy with my new CR-V and hope to refer friends and family to your dealership in the future.

Joe is always excellent to work with. Friendly. Takes down the information and checks on what the customer asks that he check on. Contacts the customer when car is ready, and, has the shuttle driver available to take/pick up as requested. Thanks again, Joe. It is appreciated.

My wife and I recently trade in our car for a newer one. In the process, I have been impressed with Eli's honesty. There is no doubt that in the future I will buy another car from a salesman
that posses the same skills and honesty I perceived from Eli Gaspar.
I highly recommend Eli Gaspar as the right go to person if you are looking
for great service and a win-win transaction. It was a great experience doing
business with Eli Gaspar and I think he is an asset for the sales team.
Thank you Obrien Auto group and in particular to Eli Gaspar.

Mi esposa y yo cambiamos nuestro auto por uno mas nuevo. En el proceso, me
he sentido impresionado con la honestidad de Eli.
No hay duda que en el futuro comprare otro auto con un vendedor que contenga
las mismas habilidades y honestidad percibidas de Eli Gaspar.
Altamente recomiendo a Eli Gaspar como la persona indicada para ir si decean
un gran servicio y una transaccion justa. Fue una gran experiencia haber
hecho negocios con Eli Gaspar y creo que es una persona clave en el equipo
de ventas.

Gracias Obrien Auto Group y en particular a Eli Gaspar.

Hello Lance,

I would like you to know how professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and patient your salesman, Eli Gaspar was with me when I was searching for just the right car for my daughter. She is really happy to finally have her first car, and I am happy I didn't have to trade my car or truck in to make it happen. We are fortunate enough to have our own transportation for many different needs now. I have searched for many months, and it can be exhausting to constantly be confronted by pushy car sales people. I have had to drive through lots faster than I want to because the same sales people have seen me looking, and some hounded me to trade my car. I pretty much know what I'm looking for, and it's ultimately up to me to decide what, or if I buy a vehicle. I had nothing but a great experience shopping with Mr. Gaspar. I am so glad he came out to show me every car I asked about. He was not pushy, but educated on each car and let me be the decision maker. Other sales people tend to tell me what I want and thats why I walk. I came back to your lot because of Eli's customer service, and ended up finding yet another car we hadn't seen before. Thank you for hiring him, and I will search him out for my next purchase.

Mr. Donavan:


Thank you for requesting my feed back about my visit to O’Brien Auto Group, service department. This visit was for the oil change and check up plus a new air filter. I was late in bring the car in as I forgot to look at the sticker, but all is well that end well.


Again I have to report that in my opinion you have a very good employee in Jason. I do like the way he treats the customer and gets the job completed to my satisfaction.



Thanks again for your service.

Lance,

I have been very satisfied by my experience at O'Brien. Your sales staff and service department are first rate. Keep up the good work.

Best Regards

Jason Carter was very helpful in scheduling our appointments and communicating with us. The car was very clean when returned to us. Overall, a pleasant experience.

Lance,

I took my Honda CRV to the O'Brien service shop because I received a manufacturer's recall notice in the mail. Thank you for offering drive in service without the need for an appointment. I took the vehicle in during an unexpected break in my schedule and it was serviced quickly. The car was ready sooner than promised. Absolutely no complaints here. That is two great service appointments in a row.

Thank you

Hello Mr. Donavan,

My name is Yokiko Swain, earlier this month I brought my Honda Civic into Honda of Salem for repair. I was contacted to complete a survey about my service, however I never received a survey. I wanted to at least inform you that my service was above and beyond what I had expected, and I sincerely appreciate all of the hard work that Joe and Craig provided. Please thank them for their wonderful work, and I will definitely be returning to Honda of Salem for any of my vehicle needs.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Dear Mr. Donavan,


I should have sent this off much sooner but have been sidetracked by medical appointments after my car accident which in turn led to us purchasing our Honda Pilot from you. John Steward was our Salesman and we were beyond pleased with the wonderful customer service he gave us. He called to keep us updated and went out of his way to make sure we were completely happy. We have never had such a smooth vehicle purchase with out heavy salesmen breathing down our throats. It was truly a pleasure to work with you all. Thank you and the biggest thank you to Mr. Steward for his outstanding customer service and to Dave one of your Finance Gentleman. We will definitely come back the next time we purchase another vehicle.

Lance, we were very pleased with the service we received as we brought our 2010 Accord in for a wheel-bearing replacement. The car is still under warrenty, and it was repaired promptly, and without any charge or fees or hassle.

We were treated very well, called when the repair was done, and had no major waiting or delay time with any of the process.

Thank you

We had the pleasure of
doing business with Jim at O'Brien Auto Group while trading in our Honda
Civic for a new Honda Civic Hybrid. Jim was VERY knowledgable, patient with
all our questions and did not pressure us at all to make the deal. We
couldn't be happier with the staff at O'Brien or with our new car. Thanks
Jim!!!

I had very good service for my oil change, I never have any issues when I come in for service.



Thank you

I just brought my car in for its first oil change. Everyone was very
friendly and cheerful. It was a pleasant experience Sent via BlackBerry by
AT&T

Lance,

I appreciate you asking about my experience. Each time I come in I figure I've been there often enough they won't ask again. I'm pleasantly surprised to be wrong.

When I come in Joe (not sure his last name) usually help me. I made an appointment for my 20,000 ish mile check up this last time. That day I went to a parade and was going to be late. Joe was wonderful about changing my appointment time to a little later in the day so I could still come. I don't know if this causes any problems for the mechanics but I really appreciate his willingness to be flexible and the fact everyone lets him do so.

Thank you

Working with Joe was a very pleasant experience, he has wonderful customer service skills and a keen eye for detail. You have a gem of an employee.

My experience was great as always! Once again Joe was so great and helpful over in Honda service! Thanks again for such an easy time!

Hi Lance,

I had a wonderful experience with your colleagues at O’Brien BMW. Engaging in BMW talk with the “infamous knowledgeable” Jimmy, was a truly wonderful experience. All of your team members greeted me with warm open arms and made me feel very welcome. The day I purchased my 6-Series, a few issues aroused and the car was in-drivable. Your team jump right on it to resolve all of the car problems. Once the issues was fixed, the car was delivered to my front door. I will recommend my friends to come over to O’Brien and enjoy the experience of being part of a warm family.



Warm Regards

Hi
I recently had a car oil change at the Salem Honda complex. The follow up survey was inadvertently deleted from my e-mail, but I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the service and customer care I received. From the moment I entered the lobby I was welcomed and spoken to in a respectful and clear manner. The options open to me and the service history of my car were explained in detail and although informed of the possible services my car needed, I felt that there was no uncomfortable pressure or "sales" techniques being used to hurry me into making a decision.
The oil change was timely and the new waiting lounge comfortable and warm with complementary coffee, and/or water on offer for those of us who were waiting.
I really think there has been an improvement on the quality of customer care at your facility.
Thank you.

Hi Lance,


Our experience was just great. Dustin was a big help and went out of his way to make us the best deal he could. He beat out all the Honda Dealers in the state, almost! We love our Fit, too!!



Thanks!!!!

Dear Lance, I cannot say enough about Joe in the service department. He has helped me on several occasions; going what I would think was above and beyond normal customer service. While waiting in your new lounge I was also witness to him helping and answering other questions from other clients. I love having my car washed and vacuumed it is a wonderful service to your clients especially around here in the winter.

I have always been able to get an appointment timely and so appreciate Joe's getting me in when I am in need.

Thank you

Just wanted to let the personnel at O' brien Honda know that I really appreciate the friendly and helpful service. The employees work hard to get your car in and out as quickly as possible. They also communicate clearly about the service your car received or is in need of. Most often my car is serviced in a timely manner and I love having my car cleaned inside and out! I will never take my car anywhere else. These are honest folks.

Hello Lance,


I recently had my 2011 Honda Pilot serviced at O'brien. This is my third car purchased from your dealership and I want to express my positive reaction to both the sales and service experience. My most recent oil change and tire rotation was great. I like the new lounge at the Honda building. I can count on getting my car taken care of, a nice car wash and the people are pleasant, attentive and make good recommendations on service requirements.



I look forward to continuing to have my vehicles serviced there and will likely buy my next vehicle from O'brien Auto Group.



Best regards,

Your new waiting lounge is a huge improvement!It is large and roomy, has more seating, the internet usage is a plus, and most of all... it doesn't have that musty smell the old lounge had. Kudos

My experience at O'Brien Motors yesterday was very favorable. Joe (the man who took care of me) was very personable, very thorough, and very efficient. The office was very busy (they were short an employee) yet Joe handled not just me but several customers. My car was serviced in a timely manner, I was called when it would be finished, and they washed my car!



Thank you for the good service.

I visited 5+ dealerships before going to Honda of Salem. The employees were helpful, knowledgeable and weren't pushy! Car shopping was always such a stressful experience before I purchased my CRV from Honda of Salem, I'll buy all my cars here in the future!

Dear Lance,

I popped in to the service center Monday afternoon this week, as I had been told to do for an oil change (no appointment necessary), and Joe took great care of me, getting the mileage from the car and checking on which backup light it was that was out. It took about an hour, as I had been told it would, and the cost was actually a little less than the estimate (always a pleasant surprise). Joe went over the mechanic's report with me to let me know of a few items I might want to have checked out the next time I come in, and I left, only to find I couldn't start the car. Joe came out and helped me - the steering wheel had locked, and needed to be "unlocked" in order for the key to turn the ignition on.

I was very satisfied with the service, the length of the wait, and the extra help with solving the problem of starting my car.

Although its hard to get to the dealer for vehicle upkeep with a busy schedule, the Honda dealership in Salem always makes the experience pleasurable, they are always courteous, knowledgable and always have time to explain things to me when I ask for an explanation.



I always dreaded going to get my car taken care of even if it was an oil change but the Honda Dealership, I don’t dread it, I just have the problem of finding the time to do it.



I appreciate the people at the dealership and hope they never never never leave.



Fantastic dealership !!!

I had my car in for an oil change on 11-15 and received excellent service. I was also very pleased that O'Brien Honda excepted a coupon from Power Honda in Albany for the service I received.. I always get great service. Thank you!

My experience was a great one! Customer Service at it's best! I love my Honda :)

Hi Lance,

I had a great experience at your service department. All the staff that I had interactions with were all very helpful and knowledgeable. My wait time was short, which was very nice.



Thanks for the great service!

These folks are the real deal. Brought in my '09 Fit for a diagnostic and learned that the "issue" was self-inflicted and basic; the guys were great and even explained things in a way that didn't make me feel like a total dork. Everyone up front was very helpful, as always. Customer service seems to be a clear priority here.

Hi there,
I purchased my Honda CRV there in October and had a wonderful experience.
The people that helped me were genuine, honest, and weren't pushy at all. I had looked at other dealerships for cars during the few days prior and felt uncomfortable at them because it was clear that the salesmen were only out for the sale. I could tell that the employees at Honda of Salem really cared about my preferences and wishes in a car and did nothing short of getting me the perfect car for my me and my family.
I will absolutely recommend anyone to Honda of Salem!
Thanks so much,

Eli Gaspar was honest, fast and pleasurable to do business with, thanks ELI!

Eli Gaspar was great. Good customer service, very friendly.

Got the car I wanted!

Great customer service and knowledge. Also a great person, nice to talk to.

My experience at O'Brien recently was great, thanks to Jeff Jaynes. Jeff was
very low key, not pushy, and helpful when it came to looking at the pros and
cons of buying a Civic vs. the Accord. The financial process was long but
Jeff made sure I was comfortable during the wait : ) Thanks!

Jim Mally and Mike Sullivan did a great job assisting me throughout my new vehicle transaction. So, overall another great experience and look forward to coming back for future business.

Eli was fantastic. he took his time and really wanted to help me know about my car. Jim was also extremely helpful and very knowledgable. Knew his stuff

fast and thorough. You can't beat that.

We have purchased a 2011 Honda Odyssey from O'brien Auto group of Salem. Jim Mally was our sales person. He was very knowledgable about all the Honda vehicles. We were debating between a Pilot or Odyssey, He helped us make the right decision for our needs. We would highly reccomend Jim to our friends and family. He was great to work with, and still helps us even after the purchase. "Above and beyond our expectations."

Thank you Jim !

I had a wonderful experience getting my car serviced there yesterday! I usually always do. Joe was extremely efficient and explained everything! I got a ride home after dropping my car off and that driver was very nice also.



I like dealing with all your service guys. Thank you for making me feel special!

Refreshing experience! I worked with 3 other dealerships before contacting Honda of Salem. Hands down they had the best price, worked the hardest to find exactly what I wanted and made the transaction easy. Ask for Jim Malle. I will buy our next car from him as well.

Hi Lance,



Jeff was very good ,service was also very good. You have good people working for you,

Honestly don't know why I just didn' t go here 1st. Can't say enough good things about this dealership.

A+ dealership. Strongly recommend.

Highest recommendation. Obrien auto group and Honda of Salem are the reason why I'm saving 150 a month! I was ripped off by a dealer in Portland that's now out of business and came to O'Brien auto group looking for help out of a terrible loan and terrible car and they helped me. I owe these folks a lot, thank you.

purchased a 2004 Toyota corola here and I was very happy with my purchase. I looked at a lot of used Hondas and used toyota's but finally decided on the corola. I looked at 6 different cars at different dealerships and the nicest one I found was at this dealership. I really appreciate the time they took to show me the history on the car and they have called me a few times to make sure everything is still going great. I would very much recommend this dealership.

Polite, professional, and never pushy. Answered my questions, never put me off and returned my calls and emails. I was impressed with them from the get go. All in all I got a great deal on used 2007 civic. Head in there and see for yourself.

I talked to Matt the sales manager, I asked him to match a price for me and he did. I drove in and found my car detailed and fully gassed ready to go. Quick and easy, these guys made it very simple for me and I appreciate it.

Laid back, no pressure, no sales pitches. I was looking for 3 things, to save money, save time by not spending all day at the dealership and most IMPORTANTLY I wanted a honest professional sales person. I got all 3 here. Cudos to Honda of Salem. You guys are outstanding.

Excellent service and at a great price. I'll bring my vehicles back.

Lance,

My experience purchasing the Honda Odyssey with Jeff went extremely well. He was able to find and deliver the vehicle when we required it and kept in touch with me along the buying process.

Hi Lance,



Last Friday morning I brought my 2010 CR-V in for a recall and the service was great. The new waiting area is nice and my car was finished in a timely manner.



Thank you.

Hi Lance, I just want to say how great my experience was last week getting my oil changed at your facility. The service writer also reminded me that I was due for a service "B" on my CRV, which I did.
Then I waited in the new customer lounge while I waited for my CRV. I also like that each time I get my CRV serviced that my CRV gets washed and vacuum. Thanks.

Dear Lance,

I took my Honda CRV in for a routine oil change in September. Jason Carter
greeted me in a friendly, professional manner. He attended to each detail
appropriate to the service and my concern with my noisy brakes. He directed
me to the new customer lounge as it was my first time to this lounge.

The lounge was very comfortable. It was set up to meet most every possible
need one could have waiting for servicing to be completed. The only
possible addition could be a snack machine, if one was not already there.
Sometimes a wait can be longer than anticipated due to unexpected findings
in the servicing.

All in all it was a great visit. My wait was short. I cannot say enough
about Jason. He gives recommendations, respects customer requests, is very
knowledgeable, does not argue (which I have had experience with in the
past), and is a pleasure to work with. I will request him for every visit.

Completing my visit was paying my bill, which was fully explained to me
before servicing. Honda cashiers have always been very amiable and
efficient.

O'Brien/Delon Honda has been my dealership of choice for 3 cars and 24 years
ish!

P.S. Greg Anderson is a superb leader of the Servicing Department.

Built a Honda fit online, contacted Honda of Salem and they ordered it for me. Very simple very easy process. No pressure no lame sales pitches. I really appreciate their honest straightforward approach to selling cars

5 star rating on Yahoo!

Excellent dealership to do business with. I am always surprised when I get truly top notch customer service and I can say without a doubt that my experience here was the best I have had at a dealership. Top to bottom everything was professional. If you are looking for a new or used honda go check these folks out. You will not be disappointed.

I really appreciated your sales staff listening to what I wanted in a car, and making it happen. The color of the CR-V wasn't available in the valley, but Brandon searched for it and found it. It was quite of few miles away, but they could get it. The car was delayed one day and I didn't have a ride up to your showroom, no problem we will send someone down to pick you up. I wanted leather seats, no problem we can get it done. And provide a loaner car.

I didn't hear what you couldn't do for me, just what you could do!!!!

Thank you,

I apologize for the slow response. I left on vacation right after my visit to Honda. I greatly appreciated the wonderful service. The whole ordeal with the auto glass company and my windshield replacement was quite a challenge. However, the team at O'Brien was wonderful!

I received a loaner car while the shop checked the car to ensure the problem wasn't with the wipers and was with the newly replaced windshield. The experience with Action Auto Glass was highly frustrating and O'Brien staff made the experience tolerable. Finally, the Action Auto Glass admitted the new windshield was warped and agreed to replace it.

I appreciate the great service and knowing that if I have a problem I can expect wonderful support and service!

Thanks!

Hello Lance,



After my first experience at O'Brien, I was nervous about going back. My friend took my vehicle in for me, as I had to work. I understand that he was very well taken care of by both you and the service person you set him up with. I was placed in a loaner car that was much better equipped to handle the size of myself and my family, and when I received my car back, it had been cleaned as well as serviced. I want to send you my most sincere thanks for taking care of us. I no longer have reservations about bringing my vehicle back to O'Brien.



Thank you!

Lance:

Your Honda Service team always does a great job for me! They take great care of my car, give me a ride to work, and pick me up when it's time to return.

Keep up the good work!

Hello Lance,

My experience working with O'Brien Auto Group was great! It was a very smooth process and Stan was "Fantabulous" through it all. I would definitely visit you guys again for future purchases.



Thanks again,

I had the Honda service group perform my OCP yesterday. Service was excellent - best yet. Joe and Jason are running a "tight ship". I will very likely, due to my experience, return for my timing belt and 90K service and quite possibly return there soon to fill a "3rd driver" need that our family now has.

Thanks for the 5$ Starbucks.

I really enjoyed my experience with Obrien auto group! Brandon was great! I loved it so much that I sent my best friend Sadi there for her new car. She ended up buying a honda with Brandon as her salesman all because I told her how great you all were to me! Thank you for my awesome car!

The O'Brien Auto Group treated us very well when we took the car for it's re-call. We were happy with the experience.

I had a great experience. no hassel or pressure. Brandon Bodine was a very charismatic sales person. I will recomend you to my friends.
Thanks

Had a great experience. No hassle, got me the car I asked for. Would do it again. Jim Malley and Jeff Jaynes were extremely helpful and not high pressure, just tried to help me find what I wanted.

Thanks!

honestly, this was probably the best experience when buying a new car so far.

First, when I started shopping around via the internet you guys were the only

dealership that I had any response at all from. Then the price negotiations over the net

saved us time and after that we had real pleasant time purchasing our Pilot thanks

to your sale guy Eli. My wife and I dislike the pressure of some sales people use

to make a sale but this was not the case. Seems that your staff knows how to deal

with customers. Just a week before we bought this car from you we went to a dealership

that is close to our home but they were to pushy so we left. The trip to Salem was worth it.

Thank you again for the car and the fun of buying it and for having a respect for our time.

Again it was a pleasure to have my CRV serviced with you. I got right in and it was ready as promised, and sparkling clean. I appreciate the honest service, not trying to sell me on something I don't need.

My recent visit went fine without any problems.

I have bought two cars from your dealership since moving to Salem in 2005. I have had both regularly serviced there. Obviously, that would not be the case if I were unhappy with my treatment as a customer.

I appreciate have free transportation home or a loaner should you need to keep my car for an extended period and the free car wash and coffee in the waiting room is a plus.

Keep up the good work.

Dear Mr. Donavan,

I always have a good experience with O'Brien Auto Group. Chad was a gentlemen and even washed my car before I left. Your group trouble-shooted a problem, ordered the part and called promptly when it was in.

You run a classy outfit and I have sent some Lake Oswego folks your way.

Sincerely,

Joe, Shawn, Jason and all the service dept. did a wonderful job when I brought my vehicle in for some maintenance. Quick, efficient and courteous staff.... great job!

Hi,

Thanks for your email. My recent purchase was the first I'd made at a dealership, so I went in with a certain amount of hesitation. I was pleasantly surprised, though. Dustin was very accessible, easy to deal with, and personable. Even though part of why I was looking at O'Brien was the good things I'd heard about how you treat people, my expectations were definitely exceeded. Everyone I worked with there was exceptional, and I'm very happy with my purchase! I'm still waiting to get the financing paperwork from the bank, but I was told that could take a couple weeks, so I'm expecting it sometime next week.

If you'd like responses to any more specific questions, just let me know.

Thanks!

Lance, I would just like to say thanks, . Service and repairs were done swiftly and complete. It was nice to have the use of a loner car. Advisor Shawn Spring went the route for me to get the deduction from coupons. So nothing but good things from this customer. Will be back for service. Hopefully, I won't need any more repairs for a few miles. And I can't say that I love this CRV, because that would be unfair to Geraldine, But I do really enjoy this car.

As usual, your service was outstanding. I arrived at the appointed time; Gary was ready for me; the paperwork was processed quickly and efficiently; a loaner was provided; my car was ready and clean when I arrived to pick it up at the appointed time. I appreciate the spirit of O’Brien’s service so much.

Thanks,

You guys are always great! When I dropped my husband's car for an oil change, it had garbage piled up to the seat on the passenger's side and your staff when WAY-over and beyond by throwing it away and vacuuming the floor. I told him he owes you guys big time for helping him out. :)

Thank you so much for always going the extra mile and providing exceptional service.

Sincerely,

I had a very good experience. Not only was Shawn good, but your afternoon pick-up driver was great. He was very professional and courteous. I’m not sure of his name (sorry). Shawn went over my service line by line, plus explained to me why my breaks re-act differently when I have a full tank of gas, which was concerning to me until I understood.

Experience was great as usual and the job done more quickly than I expected.

Thanks,

Was wonderful. I work with Gary and he is always willing to go up and above with his customer service. I did need to bring my car back because I still had some vibration going on, however they put it right back in the shop and resolved the issue immediately.

Thanks so much!

We had a great experience!! Our salesman was wonderful!!

Both Larry Ferguson and John Judkins were top rate. I could not have had a better buying experience. They should both get raises!

Our experience there met our expectations to the littlest things. You're staff was very inviting and friendly. They were never pushy which we were hoping they wouldn't be and got us the car we wanted and at a price we can afford. I would recommend your place of business to anyone I know looking for a car and a great staff who is there to help. Thanks again for the new car! We are happy to see that our daughter is loving it as much as we do. Have a good day and thanks again!

I was very pleased with the service I received from the O'Brien Auto Group. In particular, your staff was very friendly and welcoming, the car was ready when promised, and your service manager did not try to sell me additional services. It is very rare for me to take my car in for services without the service dept pushing for additional "must be done" services. This was the first time that I used your service department, and I will be back.

One possible suggestion----are you able to offer a frequent service card, for example, buy 6 oil changes, get the 7th one free?

Your dealership has once again shown what customer service is all about. Picking my car up, servicing it and returning it to me as promised shows great customer service and it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Thanks for the opportunity to give you feedback! My experience was wonderful. Check in was simple, fast and the staff was courteous. I was thoroughly pleased with all aspects of the service.

My experience at O'Brien was easy. I had stopped by to look at a car I saw online. When I arrived, that particular car had sold but there was a comparable car I was shown. I received more than I expected for my trade-in, which was a pleasant surprise. I did have to return to re-sign my contract because the terms changed but appreciated that I was compensated my gas since I had to drive back to Salem from the coast.

Thank you very much!

Everybody was very helpful and went the extra mile.

Thanks,

I had a very good experience buying my car. No nonsense, as far as I could see. I worked with the young man named Brad. He seemed to know his product and was very helpful.

My experience was very good and Jeff is a great salesman thank you very much!

I have already told several people about the great experience of dealing with your sales person. He was so professional and polite, unlike the sales people we encountered at the local dealerships.

It was a pleasant, extremely smooth transaction and we really appreciate that he drove the car to Grants Pass and took our car from there.

Best regards

Wow! I have had the most amazing experience at
Honda of Salem. Toni was very patient with me while I test drove multiple
vehicles trying to figure out what I wanted. Never did I feel pressured or
obligated to purchase a vehicle and that is VERY important to me. He even
searched the used cars for another make that I was considering as well. He
was knowledgable about the vehicles and very personable. I've done a lot of
car shopping in the past weeks and I can't say the same about other dealers
or their sales associates. I enjoyed the honesty and professionalism of the
team here. I'm especially happy with my purchase because I was given the
time and information to make my decision without pressure. I LOVE my new
honda fit! I will definitely recommend this dealership and especially Toni!

The service was great as usual. Chad was tied up on the phone for quite some time when I came to drop off the car. Another person stepped in and took care of me just as well. I told them I would return in 90 minutes and when I returned the car was just coming from the car wash. Got the bill paid quickly and was on my way!

Thank You!

First of all, Jason at your service desk was helpful as always. We really liked your new waiting area, too. Granddaughter found the toy section right away and that kept her busy while I played some games on your computer, keeping me busy. The time flew.

Car was done quickly (or, see above!) and was clean.

The only downside to the service was I had prepaid for an oil change through Groupon, then forgot to use it! Thankfully, I can use it next time as the expiration date is five months out.

As always my experience with my auto service was excellent. I was greeted right away, intake was taken quickly and the service was completed in under the time I was quoted. I am very pleased with the service.

In the end, everything went very well. I love my new VW Jetta TDI, and recently came in to Honda (yesterday), to have one more service done (oil change/break fluid and clutch fluid change) on my Civic that I purchased 12 years ago when your organization was Delon. I sold my Civic today! Sad to see it go, but happy to be in a mid-sized car.

Overall the car buying experience is overwhelming in general; however, I know that your sales team and management understand this, and I feel like the deal went great regardless of any bumps. I also want to give Kudos to Jon (I cannot recall his last name at the moment) Finance advisor in BMW. He was incredibly helpful, professional, knowledgeable, patient,and was even able to help my husband and I get a lower rate than we were already approved for by our credit union. I think Jon's customer service should definitely be acknowledged.

I'm sure we will be coming back, as we want to keep our purchases local. Who knows, maybe I will upgrade in to BMV next time (12 years from now... just kidding).

Best Regards,

Tony was incredible. Period. The man who did the financing papers for the lease was also very good. I had a deadline to meet, and he got it done.

Thank you Lance. Please tell John and Matt and your F&I lady (is it Janette) they all did a great job.

Thank you for your e-mail. I have to tell you that I really enjoyed coming to O'Brien's, and working with Stan. What started out as just looking to see what was avalabe turned into buying the right car! Stan is a wonderful car dealer, and you are very lucky to have him. He was patient, did not push or try to hard sell the car I bought, and was just a most pleasant guy to work with. I certainly plan on bringing my car back to O'Brien's because of the wonderful customer service I received from Stan, and from Robert when I brought my car in to check the engine light. David was also great to work with in dealing with all the paperwork, and he has a great sense of humor (and also found a great interest rate on the loan!). It was over all a terrific experience, and I look forward to dealing with O'Brien's in the future!

Thanks,

We had a good time Friday evening leasing our new 2012 Civic from the O'Brien Group. It was late - closing time, but the team forged forward to complete the necessary paperwork and allow us to drive home with our new vehicle. Thanks for going the extra mile! We are very pleased with the new ride.

Hi there,

Service was great. I was surprised and pleased to hear from you all about a recall, happy with the flexibility of times and with the speedy turnaround. Service was prompt and friendly.

My only issue with the whole experience was trying to find the service department. No big deal, just asked in the showroom. Perhaps I just didn't see it but a sign above the ramp headed down to the service department could be useful.

Best,

Lance - Thanks for your email related to the service at O'Brien Auto Group - Honda Service Center. Joe Gomez, Service Advisor, was great as usual, and your reception staff was very good as well. It was a great oil change service job.

Thanks,

It was far the best customer service I’ve experienced with Honda. I brought my car in for its 60K service. Shayne was very professional and explained everything in great detail. He also had the shop replace a screw on the front bumper of my car at no charge. Thank you for the great customer service.

I had my Honda serviced (oil change, etc.) at O'briens last week, and as usual,I was happy with how I was treated. Jason is very good at the front desk. He makes sure that I understand what scheduled maintenance needs to be done, but is not pushy. I've scheduled an appointment for next Thursday for some maintenance procedures for my '06 Civic.

By the way, the new customer lounge is very nice, and I'll take my cross-stitch with me and just stay there for the two hours that my car is being serviced.

Thank you,

I apologize for not responding with feedback closer to the purchase date, but I have been busy driving! I purchased a 2011 Honda Fit from Ryan Pfaff on 9/9/11 through your on-line service area. The experience was extremely easy. Ryan was extremely responsive and very friendly. I will certainly recommend the Obrien auto group and Ryan to anyone.

Thank You,

recently had to bring our Odyssey for some issues with the locks. Joe was a fabulous service manager, as always. He was even able to get a part in earlier than expected! It was unfortunate that the locks had the issue with what I would consider a fairly new vehicle, but at least we received good service!

Thanks,

My wife and I just purchased a Honda CRV from your shop just this past weekend. We had dreaded doing the car shopping as we both are not much for the sales pitches and the pressure sometimes applied to customers when car shopping. All that changed when John Steward introduced himself to us.

Never once did my wife and I feel pressured, pushed, or rushed into making a choice about the car and that is a credit to John. He became more then a salesman but rather a friend that was easy to talk to, easy to deal with, and very helpful with questions we might have regarding the car and the process. In previous experiences we had individuals that did not listen to our needs, wants and ideas but rather looking to make a sale, this was not the case with John. In fact a salesman drove us away from purchasing with another dealer due to his constant phone calls, and inability to listen to what we wanted. John is the reason we purchased a car at your store.

John should be commended on a job well done, and he is a very special employee for you and good to have, you are lucky.

The service was great, my wife and I are really thrilled with the car and look forward to a great relationship with Honda!

Thanks!

We received your email thanking us for our purchase and wanted to provide you with our feedback. I want to thank you for the amazing customer service we received. Bruce had been researching trucks for some time and while we were certain we wanted a Honda Ridgeline, finding the right one was the challenge. He visited several dealerships and found the best deal and customer service with your store. ...no pressure, just a good honest deal. Carshopping has always been on my top ten list of stressful experiences. (sorry ) but this was not the case.

We are truly enjoying our new truck...our dog Buddy really likes that the backseats fold up leaving him plenty of room to travel with us!

We had a great experience coming in to have an oil change and for you to do the recalls. I really appreciated the friendly staff. Also thanks for cleaning my car along with the inside.

My service experience was just what I expected. Car was ready on time (early actually). Thanks for a great service department - I have been bringing cars in sinch 1986.

Thanks,

I contacted this dealer as they were on "true car". What a wonderful experience. Brandon was very professional and even drove my new Accord to me. I have already recommended him to at least 5 people and I just got the car a few days ago.

Sean was very helpful, love your new customer lounge too!

I had a most satisfactory experience, as usual, with my most recent visit to the Honda Service Department.

Thank you for asking,

ruly a very positive experience I have had with O''Brien Honda of Salem. My husband recently passed away in June, and we have usually purchased our vehicles together... O''Brien Honda of Salem made it very easy for me to make my purchase without my husband. Thank you for your help, trustworthiness, and overall kindness to me. I really appreciate it, and I love my new 2011 Element! I have the vehicle I wanted, and I am extremely happy. Thank you.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME ARRANGE AND SHIP MY NEW ELEMENT FROM YOUR DEALERSHIP TO HAWAII. THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE DECIDING FACTOR IN PURCHASING THE VEHICLE FROM O'BRIEN, AND I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR WILLINGNESS TO ASSIST ME IN THIS AREA AND MAKING MY PURCHASING EXPERIENCE A TRULY POSITIVE ONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

THERE WERE NO MORE '11 ELEMENTS AVAILABLE IN HAWAII WHEN I EXPLORED MY OPTIONS ON THE WEST COAST. I FOUND MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE WITH O'BRIEN HONDA OF SALEM WAS AN EXTREMELY POSITIVE ONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, QUICK PAPERWORK FOLLOW-THROUGH, AND VEHICLE/ACCESSORIES DELIVERY TO ME. MY LATE HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN TRUE HONDA LOVERS. FROM 1983, WE PURCHASED 7 NEW HONDAS (PRELUDE,2 HATCHBACKS,CRV,'05 ELEMENT,'09 CIVIC SI, AND NOW MY '11 ELEMENT). I WILL REMEMBER O'BRIEN FOR MY NEXT HONDA PURCHASE.

I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE HELP I RECEIVED FROM DUSTIN DETTWYLER AND JEREMY QUINTANILLA IN MY RECENT HONDA PURCHASE. SINCE I LIVE IN HAWAII, COMMUNICATION AND TRUST WERE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. I FOUND COMMUNICATION WAS NEVER AN ISSUE FOR ME THEY WERE ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH QUALITY ASSISTANCE. SO ALSO TRUST WAS NEVER A PROBLEM FROM THE PURCHASE PAPERWORK AND MONEY TRANSFER TO RECEIVING THE VEHICLE AND ACCESSORIES-THEY MADE IT SO EASY FOR ME. THANK YOU - I LOVE MY NEW 2011 ELEMENT!

We recently had our '09 Honda Accord in for maintenance regarding a recall notice. The person who took the order was great. We decided to go with a regular maintenance also while the car was there. When I picked up the car, I was able to use a 15% coupon on the cost of the maintenance. The car was clean inside and out. Really; it was an exceptional experience.

Thank you.
