I had the BEST EXPERIENCE buying my Honda Civic 2018 at Paragon Honda. First, it was absolutely amazing that I never visited Paragon. My salesman, Andy Carlson was so knowledgeable, personable and just an all around great, caring person. He guided me through the process step by step, answering all questions. Plus he has a sense of humor. What more can you ask. Marco, the driver who delivered the car was punctual and I could track his route. He also called me 10 minutes before he arrived at my apartment house. We went over all the forms and it was carefully marked where I had to sign and initial lines. He answered my questions re: filling up, opening the trunk, and seat adjustment. It was quick and easy. I would definitely recommend anyone buying a car to go ( run) to Paragon. The name says it all: PARAGON.

This was my first time buying a car and the experience was amazing and easy. Omar Morales did a fantastic job explaining the procedure of purchasing the car. He went out of his way to make sure I knew everything about my new car and felt at pleased with my decision. He had that humane characteristic which made this first experience one to remember. I’m in love with my new car. I definitely will be recommending Paragon Honda to every body I know. Thank you Paragon Honda and Omar Morales for making this dream a reality.

This dealership kinda restored my faith in humanity l0l like these guys went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of, I was so surprised at how courteous and patient these guys were… My friend needed a car, she doesn’t speak English well, I went along with her to the store to help translate… and these guys explained every little detail… our sales guy Frank spoke super slowly and was so polite and patient to make sure my friend and I were comfortable with the transaction… the whole process took maybe 3 hours… They did sooo many scenarios for us, like how much it would be do get a used car or a new car or to lease different models. My friend ended up leasing a CR-V… they didn’t have the exact color combination she wanted but they were able to get it within a day and then they delivered it to NJ so we didn’t have to come back to the dealership… the price we got was way better than what another dealership wanted to give us…they gave us blue book for the trade… I was super nervous going to dealerships because like you never know if you’re getting a good deal.. it really stood out to me that they explained every single number on the contract… Never going anywhere else. Absolutely recommend Frank and the whole team at Paragon!!

Courteous service from service agent. However, the long wait for the car to be checked out is not acceptable. I had to wait almost three hours for an oil change. Also, the message on my dashboard screen saying the car needed servicing was not deleted and I had to bring the car back.

Arrived at a very LATE HOUR not knowing if we wanted to lease or purchase. Salesman, Mohammed Rakib took his time showing us many vehicles and giving us options. Mike Adovic was very thorough in explaining the differences in leasing and purchasing and brought to our attention options we had never considered and ways to save money. All employees were very patient and worked past their closing time to guarantee that we were completely satisified with our decision. We have never had such a pleasant experience at a dealership. In the past at OTHER dealerships, we dealt with the typical "salesman" who was always pushing you to do what was best for their own "pockets" and never considered your personal needs. Paragon Honda was very considerate of our needs and never once pushed us to do anything that we were not comfortable with. We would highly recommend Paragon Honda to our family and friends and to anyone reading this review.

Friendly environment, but I lowered my rate because of a few flaws in the preparation of Honda Certified car. Air conditioner was not working. Dealership fixed the problem on next day after purchase, but it was very inconvenient to bring car back for service, go to work and then return back in the evening.There was missing a decorative plastic cover above the rear view mirror. It is still missing. The dealership was not able to provide with replacement and I was advised to buy it from Honda manufacturer.

I was prepared for a fight and I was pleasantly disappointed that they had no interest in fighting with me over cost, fixing minor issues I observed with the vehicle I chose, or closing with the financial department on the final paperwork. In the end I had the absolute best experience with Carlos J, Anand and (I hope I'm spelling it right) Shoo. They were patient when I was ascertains myself and they listened to my concerns and carfully directed me towards the closing. In the end I walked away feeling real good about my purchase which is a first for me. I can only praise them for their products and good service

Polite and nice sales personnel who are also knowledgeable. We especially liked Vanessa who was very helpful. We were buying two cars and she was very helpful in figuring out which packages to pick. The cars were bought through COSCO Auto, which also made shopping experience more pleasant as we did not have to go through usually stressful price negotiations.

Regarding sales: Maritza was processional, personable, effective and worked within my tight constraints. As I was working with a difficult budget and needed a full performance car that could comfortably get from NYC to the White Mountains in New Hampshire, Maritza had her work cut out for her...and, I must say that she readied to the cause and did do wonderfully.

I knew the exact car and color I wanted and called to see if this dealer had it. I spoke to Fatima, who said they absolutely had the two colors I was interested in. I went in the next day for a 12:00 appointment; the manager who I had the appointment with, Adrian, showed up at 2:20. The person who subbed for him, Gustavo, took two and a half hours to begin the process and in that time, I asked him FOUR TIMES if they had the color car I wanted and each time, he came back with yes, they did. After the two and a half hours when Adrian showed up, before we were about to get into the financing, I asked him if they had the color of the car; when he checked, he said no, they didn't. As I got up to walk out and told him how Fatima had told me they had the color, he tried to make excuses by saying she worked in another building, to which I shot back at him: does she or does she not work in this dealership? Then I told him that besides her, this employee, Gustavo, told me FOUR TIMES they had the color I wanted when he knew all along they didn't. And to make matters worse, this dealer requires you to sign an untitled document which looks an awful lot like a contract of sale BEFORE you do the financing and know what the monthly payment will be. I have since found out that other Honda dealers don't have such a document.I would NEVER return to this dealer under any circumstances.

Very friendly and comfortable. However, there was an issue with us being given a monthly lease rate $100 more than a deal that was being advertised. We sorted it all out in the end, but we shouldn't have had to tell them about their own deal that was on the website.

I have been a loyal customer of Honda Paragon service but after dealing with the lady, Donna, in the check in area I am not sure if i will ever come back here. She is not helpful at all. She needs to be trained on how to deal with customers. She is just the one checking in the customers and she has the audacity to talk to me that she knows everything. All I need was for them to check the vehicle for safety for me and my family. The Manager, Michael and service tech Nick talked to me and explained to me in a better way about the situation. Paragon honda services should make sure that all of the staff will get a refresher course on how to handle customers appropriately.

Me and my girlfriend visit Paragon Honda last week, the employees are very nice and patient, Mr. Sultan was our salesman, he explained all the details of the car and purchase options. The price he offered was very good, so we decided to take this Certified Preowned 2015 Honda CR-V at once. Took some time to finish all the paperwork with the bank, but it is definitely worth waiting. We are so happy to have this car!! If I ever want to buy another Honda, this will be the place I choose to go!

About 4 years ago I purchased a car from paragon Honda. The salesman did all he could for me, went above and beyond and made me feel like he was trying to take care of a family member. "Forgot his name"So yesterday 8/14/2016 things at experience was topped. "Yeah, seriously. It was topped" Alex, brother from Colorado. Really Cool, Chilled, Concerned and Compassionate dude. "Didn't even realized the 4 C's. However Alex is super professional and has crazy passion in making sure his clients are taken care of. He will not offer you something that won't work out for you, if you don't believe me. Go ahead and walk out with the your future ride. Adnan (Finance Manager) came in clutch. Extremely helpful and caring. He is all about making sure that you are taken care of what's best for you. He went above and beyond. Awesome conversations while the transaction was being taken care of. Alex and Adnan needs more exposer - these men made me want to refere everyone I know, honestly.

I found a car on truecar.com and came to this Honda location. I spent 2 days working with Sultan Haseq. He went above and beyond, and made sure that I was 100% satisfied. The original car i saw on truecar.com had a minor issue that i was not pleased with, so Sultan took time to find me another car (mind you it is HOT outside). As we were getting close to closing the deal, there was a conflict because the original car I saw (which i didn't even end up getting) was from truecar.com which meant this sale would go to them (though i did not even deal with truecar). Anyways, long story short, Sultan was removed from finishing the sale, and I was not pleased at all with how management handle this issue. He was such a great help, and its frustrating to see that credit wasn't given where it was due. He's an AMAZING dealer, and those managers need to realize how lucky they are, and stop being petty.

Update 8/10/16Since this experience, Honda's service department has reached out to me and apologized for the unprofessional job they've done with my car. They offered to fix and repaint the damaged area. Although Ive made my own plans to fix the damage elsewhere, the service manager Alex was accommodating and generous and compensated me for my damage with accessory that I wanted. Overall, Hondas customer service was helpful in trying to make amends from a disappointing experience and hopefully they will improve with their quality control and workmanship in the near future.

Don't let them touch your car! Worst place ever! Brought in my brand new CR-V of one week to replace a rubber piece and glass that already came looking like somebody chewed off a piece of it. Was brought in when they said the part was here and turned out the guy who had to do the job wasn't even there and I was told to come back. Went back and was impressed they called me after 3 hours to say the job was done. BUT when I went to pick up my brand new car....they left glue on the side of my window that was fixed. Service manager helped me clean it off and two scratches were under the glue! !!! They scratched and chipped right through my paint!!!! They probably used the glue to cover up their mistake. I could not believe it!! My brand new car damaged yet again. They offered to touch it up with touch up paint but of course they didn't even have the color! Not only that, there were a handful of fingerprints and handprints and grease all over the side of my car, scratches on my roof, and a stain on my seat. Absolutely ridiculous!!!! I didn't even want them to touch my car anymore. How can you leave someone's car a mess with dirt and scratches and even try to cover up a mistake. Don't even have the decency to clean up after the job...so unprofessional. Service manager gave me a trunk spoiler per my request as compensation but sorry I don't trust you with my car..I rather fix the paint myself. Horrible experience. Never had this happened to me before and this is our 4th car from Paragon. Don't bother coming here. Also, you walk in and sometimes no one pays you any mind.

Update 8/10/16Since this experience, Honda's service department has reached out to me and apologized for the unprofessional job they've done with my car. They offered to fix and repaint the damaged area. Although Ive made my own plans to fix the damage elsewhere, the service manager Alex was accommodating and generous and compensated me for my damage with accessory that I wanted. Overall, Hondas customer service was helpful in trying to make amends from a disappointing experience and hopefully they will improve with their quality control and workmanship in the near future. 8/8/16I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF I COULD! Don't let them touch your car! Worst place ever! Brought in my brand new CR-V of one week to replace a rubber piece and glass that already came looking like somebody chewed off a piece of it. Was brought in when they said the part was here and turned out the guy who had to do the job wasn't even there and I was told to come back. Went back and was impressed they called me after 3 hours to say the job was done. BUT when I went to pick up my brand new car....they left glue on the side of my window that was fixed.

First of all the proffisionl welcome of your staff and the manager of the office Mr. Abdul was his name I think. Offering the different options to me. Hard working of him even it was 100f but he was with me about an hour to search my interesting car. Then proffisionl way of cost calculation and offering good discount, and there is one young staff of you at sales lot he was very polit and smilly, but the manager was so smiley and was making fun during of dealing. Which impress the clients and clients felling more comfort. Mean time with in few minutes preparation of the documents really made me impressed.And one important point that it was my good luck to made deal with your company and safe my money other wise with some local dealers would cheat me and take my more money hence at your lot I safe money and fells more secure. Finally if you ask me how rate will give them. For sure I will offer them 100 out of 100. You are so lucky that have these kind staff and management at your sales lot and dealer company. The young guy was so polit and fast worker, he did my car's insurance works even with ten minutes. He had good way of talking and good relations with the insurrance company as well. Hopes this word be safe with your survey department.

When we went to buy a Honda Odyssey, Paragon was able to offer a competitive price for the car and also take our current lease off our hands. It was a great deal to us. At the time of closing the deal, there was some minor hiccups. But ultimately, the transaction went very well. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

Salesperson Nelson D. was fantastic, funny, very helpful and felt like he was going the extra mile to meet our needs. We came in with a quote from online, and that is the price we received. No sucker punches or hidden fees. Allen at finance took the time to slowly walk us though the financial details and answered all our questions with great clarity and thoroughness. Both gave us a step by step overview of the process before we began, and they were both true to their word. By far the best car buying experience I have ever had. Will be returning to the dealer in a few weeks for another car!

I am writing to let you know how happy and pleased I was with my first lease of the Honda CRV. This is the first car I have ever leased and I had the most wonderful experience at Paragon Honda (Woodside branch)I stopped by to check the car prices and lease option. Mr. Syed Shah (Accounts Manager) explained all the buying/lease options so well and made it so simple that i couldn't resist to lease one on the same day at the spot (obviously no sale pitch / sales pressure).I look forward to having the same excellent service when I go back in another three years to pick up my next lease! Syed Shah is definitely the best and made me so happy to have made the decision I made.My sales person, Leonel Lucas, was such a pleasure to work with. He helped me narrow down the search for the type of car that suited me best without any sales pressure at all. After I signed the lease, he still kept in contact to see how my experience was with the car.I recommend Paragon Honda (Woodside) as the only place to buy your Honda from.

Despite having an appointment the service center took over two and a half hours for oil change and wheel alignment. The service is extremely inefficient. I wanted one LED of the third brake light fixed. They told me that it took them time to find the right part; although, I eventually opted not to get it fixed as the price was too high with an estimated 1 hour of labor charge to fix one LED.

I have visited several car dealerships, and none can offer the transparency, honest attention to your needs, speed of delivery, and superlative customer service that you will find at Paragon Honda.Hamid Anwar is a finance magician; Angel Cruz is a rare friend among salespeople; Leo Bonetti is a sales manager who uses his wisdom and vast experience to make deals work for you, not at your expense, and Rachel Cartmayo, delivery manager, will prepare you in minutes to drive away in your new Honda with confidence and style.These are the people you want on your side if you are looking for a new or used Honda. Other dealerships have Loyalty cash for leases/purchases; Paragon Honda will earn your loyalty without a bribe. You will be truly amazed at the deal and satisfactory experience you will have there.

I really felt taken care of and I learned a lot. It is a very big purchase for me and I appreciated having her work with me. NO PRESSURE SALES! THANK YOU!

Tonay has no personality. The place felt like a bucket shop like glengarry glen Ross. The bright spot was a kind nice gentleman who helped my kids get hot chocolate and the woman who explained the basics of car functions. The rest was terrible. It took 30 minutes to select the car, negotiate, and agree on terms. Then it took 5 hours until I got to drive off the lot. Why? They wouldn't let me take the car off the lot because I had my middle initial on my drivers license but not on my car insurance. I had to take out a new insurance policy to drive the car off the lot. I called my insurance guy and he'd never heard of such a thing in 20 years in the business. All the while Tonay was a non personality. Not attentive. Could care less. Then he slowly worked the papers and walked back and forth to the dmv office for processing. Gee that was fun to watch. And.......of course DMV (really?) forgot a document so Tonay had to walk back again. And that tooook a whiiiillllleeee. Get the point?If you don't live nearby (by the way I grew up nearby but currently live in nj) don't waste your time. You will immediately have a strong desire to shower. Save yourself the waste of time with no personality and service skills and shop elsewhere. Oh, let's not forget the lack of regard of kelly blue book value for a trade in that is posted on their own website! Really fun to be told the old rationale how kkb is useless. Bottom line - shop elsewhere unless you want to be a character in glengarry glen Ross

The best buying experience, ever! This was my daughters first car purchase and I couldn't have been more pleased with the exceptional customer service showered onto her. I didn't expect to leave that day buying a car but we did! Raj, Mahesh, Syed and Christine ( I think that was her name) really went out of their way to provide us with excellent customer service. I was completely blown away, they really made us feel like we were part of the Paragon Honda family. Thank you Paragon Honda for making this purchase special and memorable for my daughter, words cant even express my gratitude. PSA: If you're buying a certified preowned car for your kid, ask for Raj or anyone on his team. THEY ARE ALL AMAZING!

My husband and I had a great experience with Paragon, from the courteous salesman to the informative and helpful finance manager and everyone in between. Understanding that car dealerships are expected to be saturated by smiling salespersons in shining suits, where everything is a Yes until you get to the numbers, we appreciated the sincerity that we received from everyone there. Especially important was the assistance of our salesman, Lucas, who went on two test drives with us and detailed the pros and cons of each vehicle without pressuring us to purchase one over the other.And we cannot complete this review without speaking highly of the financing process with Mr. Shah. Although never happy to give our money away, we were able to make informed decisions about our purchase and felt that we received a great deal. Mr. Shah made sure we understood what the purchase entailed--a true rarity in big item purchases.Thus, we would highly recommend Paragon for the purchase of your next vehicle!

Everyone was so friendly and courteous, and the dealership was very clean. Jorge was very patient, knowledgeable, and seemed trustworthy. He made me feel as though he cared more that I purchase a vehicle that suited me and my needs; not just any car so he could get a sale. Although it was very busy on the day that I purchased my CRV Touring, Jorge never left me feeling abandoned or neglected. Mr. Lin was also very helpful as well-I left Paragon Honda pleased and with a full understanding of what my purchases (vehicle and extended warranties) covered.

Jun 4, 2016
Walked into Paragon Honda, was assigned to a sales person whose first initiative was to learn whether I was going to need to consult with my wife to make a deal, and if there was anything that would stop me from making a purchase that day. I already did my research and I told him what I was looking for (2016 Pilot) and that I would like to take the car for a test drive. He walked away and came back to tell me he does not have a test drive available, because I was lookin for a car that was very specific. In other words he did not have the car in inventory and felt he was going to waste his time. The passive way in which this sales person turned me down and turned me off was very unusual. I took it as "you" don't want my business and drove 15 min to the nearest dealer where I was treated with much more grace. I recommend this dealer to others, just not the sales person I dealt with - whatever his name was. The interesting thing is I like the car very much and narrowed the car list, I'm now looking for the dealer who will want my business at a mutually beneficial price, but Paragon Honda is out and I doubt I will set foot in that dealership again.

Sultan was great. He helped me narrow down the car that would be good for me. Thank you for the all the help.The dealership was professionally run. However, on the downside, the manger only provided us with one financing option. He did not disclose that I could ask him to check for other financing options (except to take a high interest rate with HondaCare and other add-ons lumped in) until the very end of the signing process. He presented as if this was the only option available. I feel like I ended up buying HondaCare which I didn't really want. So, I'll watch out for that in the future. But otherwise, the experience was positive.

The whole experience in the show room was very personal and realistic. I was able to test drive the car I was interested in right away, look at colors, and promptly talk numbers. The salespeople are aware that they have good quality vehicles and they don't need to beg you to buy from them. They want to know if you're truly interested in a purchase and that's it. I worked with Danielle and she was very personable and professional throughout my visit to Paragon. The Memorial Day sales event was a little misleading as it did not entail any specific discount, but I was still able to work with Danielle to find an agreeable price.

Our salesperson was concerned for our experience at all times and worked hard to ensure that he could provide as much help as he can, especially since he was just starting out in his job. He responded to our negotiations well. Our financial manager did a great job at meeting our previous coverage for our trade-in to the best of his abilities. During the sign out of our car, we worked with someone who knew the features of the car in and out and it made the process streamlined. Would definitely consider coming back for any further car purchases.

I found the car I wanted, wasn't even the one I went there to see and the price was on point. No nonsense or fees.. The finance was great too... I'm so sorry I can't recall his name at the moment because his time spent with us deserves recognition. Great work all around.

Angel and Michael were wonderful. They worked to understand what we needed in a car and helped us get it at a price that would fit into our budget. They were extremely patient and accommodating.

The saleswoman, Danielle, was very knowledgeable in the car that I wanted. She took the time to explain everything about the car and patiently answered all my questions throughly. The finance woman, Alexis, helped us understand the leasing process and answered our questions in a professional manner. We walked out of her office feeling confident that we made the correct choices. We were then introduced to Rose who explained the workings of the car itself. She explained to us how everything worked and told us that if we ever had any questions just return to the showroom and she would be happy to answer my questions. I couldn't be happier with my experience with the staff of Paragon Honda and wouldn't hesitate in recommending paragon to friends and family. Danielle, Alexis and Rose are a real asset to your company and I hope you appreciate them as much as I did!

Service was amazing from the minute I dropped the car off to the time I drove off. Karla was amazing, she was kind enough to text me the cost of everything and help me out with whatever I needed. She was really calm and worked in a timely manner. I would recommend her services to anyone I know, and she made the experience awesome! Thanks

I WENT IN TO GET A CHECKUP AND THE SIGNAL CHECKED. THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE A FEW THINGS THAT NEEDED A FIX. I HAVE USED THIS CENTER THRU 3 HONDA CRVS, TWO BOUGHT THRU HONDA BOTH USED. IN MOST SHOPS I WOULD QUESTION IF I REALLY NEED THE SERVICE BUT NOT HERE. I TRUST THEM TO DO THE RIGHT THING. ANTHONY PETITO AND ALEX BIFNA WERE SO HELPFUL ABOUT EVERYTHING AND WHEN THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO STOP DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. THEY SET UP A RENTAL WITH HERTZ AND I AM NOW AWAITING THE NEW AIRBAGS. THEY REALLY LOOK OUT FOR YOU AT THIS SHOP. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR SERVICE.

To be honest this was the best experience I've ever had my sales person Amanda made it such an easy experience. She was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel like she was more concerned with my satisfaction rather than just making a sale. She looked into every inquiry and tried her best to make sure I had everything I wanted. Best salesperson I've ever meet. The financiers professionalism was equally impressive I truly felt like everyone had my best interest in mind. A+ paragon great people I will refer anyone that's a promise.

I leased a CRV here. I was at this place for 5 hours because the salesperson kept fighting me on the monthly payments and getting up to say "I need to check with my manager." We finally agree to a price get the insurance, etc. and them he sends me to the little office where I was supposed to finalize the deal. Suddenly, the price goes back up to the original price because "you have weak credit." Except, I know I have an 830 credit score. At this point I confront the guy and explain that I know my credit is good. Then he says the change is becauses of taxes and fees. By this point I had been there for 5 hours, and they had worn me out, plus I needed a car ASAP, so I stupidly broke down. Every day I drive my car and remember the horrible experience. WILL NEVER BE BACK TO THIS DEALERSHIP OR ANY HONDA AGAIN.

This was as easy and friendly and low-pressure a process as it possibly could have been. From Ariel the sales manager who greeted me right on time, to Lucas the sales rep who was smart, friendly and low-key, to Charlie the Finance guy, to Jocelyn the delivery coordinator, everybody has been as good as can be. Walked in this morning with a beat up trade-in, thought I was looking for a used van, walking out with a brand new one for *cheaper* and a great car buying experience. Great job, everybody.

I am a Columbia University Epidemiologist with an extremely hectic schedule and a low tolerance for nonsense. Anthony Petito does a simply outstanding job running the Paragon Honda Service Center in terms of everything that a customer values - overall quality and timeliness of service. I've witnessed this outstanding service at Paragon Honda for over 6 years and I will absolutely not take my car anywhere else to be serviced even though this location is not at all convenient for me. But I don't care because the quality of the service is worth it. Everyone at this service center is professional, courteous and eager to please. Just this past Wed night (4/20), I met with Ron and Jason Q who both handled my 9:15pm appointment after having my initial questions skillfully handled by Anthony Petito by phone. All three of these men were extremely professional, efficient and courteous. I was in and out of the service center in no time even though my appointment was at 9:15pm. In spite of the late hour, they were still going full speed ahead and pumped as if it was the start of a new day. Truly exceptional service and exemplary teamwork from Anthony Petito, Ron and Jason Q.I am always able to schedule an appointment with great ease and I then immediately receive an email confirmation with the time and date of my appointment. This is a tremendous help bc, when I arrive for my appointment, I don't have to ever worry about being denied bc the appointment was mistakenly not documented. Then, a day before my appointment, I receive an email reminder. It is such a huge help to me that they offer appointments up until 11pm and Anthony mentioned there are also available appointments overnight. Again, these late night options are absolutely invaluable to me bc my schedule is crazy but yet I want to make sure I am taking the best care of my Honda. The moment I arrive, I am consistently and immediately taken care of and I then sit in a very comfortable and well-maintained waiting room. I never witness any disgruntled customers in that waiting room and I never wait for very long at all. The entire process is PAINLESS bc the entire operation is run so efficiently thanks to Anthony and the team he hires and manages. Everything runs like clock work from the moment I drop off the car and then head outside to pick it up. Geesh, even the bathroom, after a long day, is immaculate and there's a sign inside the restroom asking customers to speak with the manager if the restroom is not clean. This is an example of what I mean by the entire place is so well-managed. They have thought about everything in the interest of the customer and they work very hard to fulfill their promises . This is NOT all talk and no action, and this is not an easy accomplishment but they make it look easy. I know exactly what it takes to hire and manage a team because I've been hiring and managing my own team of over 30 Research Assistants and Project Coordinators at Columbia for large-scale NIH grants for the past 21 years. So I am genuinely in awe and will forever remain in the Honda family bc of the service I receive at Paragon Honda Service Center as well as for the solid quality of the Honda vehicles. Thank you, Anthony Petito, Ron and Jason Q at the Paragon Honda Service Center!!!Rosann C

I received a letter from Honda saying there was a recall on my car awhile back.I called the dealership, Paragon Honda, where I purchased my 2010 Honda Pilot and scheduled a time to get the recall done. I contacted them on April 18, 2016 and scheduled to do the recall on Thursday April 21, 2016 where they said it would take a day to perform the fix. They told me the recall was to fix the foul plug, tail corrosion, and bushing leak.I showed up around 8am for my appointment before speaking to the service person. I gave her my information and she checked her computer and then told me I do not any recalls for my car. She asked if I gave her the right VIN (I did) and then asked me if I wanted to do an oil change since I was there. I am confused how these people stay in business. I called them to service this specific recall, they verified my information and the recall when I made the appointment, but when I get there they have no idea what Im talking about?! Not only did they waste my time, but they had the audacity to ask me if I wanted an oil change when I was visibly upset. I will not take my car to them to get anything fixed anymore, and would recommend everyone to stay away from this dealership.

Went to the dealer back in December to see about trading in my Corolla for a Civic. Met a guy named David Hazin. David was super professional, persona able and just all around down to earth which made him really easy to work with. I was loving the car from that first test drive, unfortunately I just wasn't ready yet to take that leap yet. Fast forward to march and I go back hoping for the best. Not only did David remember my name (which I thought was cool), but he went ABOVE and beyond to make everything work out for me. Needless to say, the 2nd time around, I bought the Civic. Later that day I noticed there was a little knick on the bumper and issue with the trunk. David and his sales manager Rob set an appointment to have it taken care that next week, and I couldn't be happier with the way they handled it...If you want somebody who's going to make you feel comfortable with buying a vehicle and actually follow through with the things he said he will do, David is that man

I went to Paragon Honda to buy a certified 2015 Honda Accord which was advertised for $17839. I called and confirmed the car is there and I am ready to get it as I was already approve by my bank. The next day before I got there, re-check the car online and they already raised the price to $18500. Finally arrived, they told me a bunch of crap and added up to 2000 more ending up a final price $20835. After 3 hours of waiting to see the car so I can sign papers, they told to come back tomorrow they cannot find my bank. The next day, the price online was raise again to $19850 (Same car that I want to buy). As I was on the deal, I don't mind cause we agreed on a price. Arrived at the dealership and talked to the salesman Sivaraj Rajagopal which was really easy talking and friendly made me wait as he has to talked to the manager about the deal so we can close it; met the manager (sitting at the front entrance desk on your left, I guess Sayed Abu), he told me the car has no paper I can't get it now or I would have to wait 3 weeks for the title then start offering me another Honda with more mileage that has lot of scratches and dents. I told him, you buy what you like, I like the one I saw as there is no dents or scratches with low mileage which was 3000 miles. I have been waiting over an hour for final response whether or not thy will take mu deposit to secure the car but they ignore me, this was a Friday. When go back next week, guess what, they sold the car for more money to someone else and telling me a bunch of craps, still trying to sell me other cars that I don't want. Please do not go to Paragon Honda. They will f*cked your mind, adding Honda Care for no reason, adding a $900 fees for no reason and so on.

I brought my 2005 Accord in on 4/1/16 to have the Airbag recall/fix done. I had called in advance to make the appointment, expecting to simply drop the car off there, go to work, and come back in the evening to pick it up. I was quite unhappy to have to wait so long outside in a line of cars until I was eventually able to drive it inside, causing me to come in late to my job. The airbag recall was done, but there still is an intermittent issue with the airbag indicator light coming on, which I will have to call Michael Valencia (whom I dealt with when I was there) to see about getting it fixed, as it may not pass Inspection when its performed next month. I also have a 'check engine' light indicator, to which, Valencia mentioned some things regarding the catalytic converter, and a replacement cost of about $1,700. Its still unclear to me on why my car, which only has 44K miles would have any issue with 'check engine'... hopefully, there is a much simpler and less expensive solution to fixing what should be a very minor issue, such as disconnecting-reconnecting the battery to remove the indicator and then do the Inspection so that it passes. Valencia called me later to inform that the brake and power steering fluid should be changed. Although I agree that these fluids should be changed at some point, I dont consider these tasks to be very difficult or time-consuming for a Honda mechanic to do, thus, I consider having to pay close to $400 for just these two things to be quite excessive. I was told to do a throttle-body service, but I declined, as I just cant afford to pay as much as the dealer wants to charge.In conclusion, I was also upset when I went back to Paragon yesterday evening to pick up my car. Valencia already left for the day, so I went inside and waited, and waited.... I finally decided to not waste more time, and just went over to someone who was at his desk chatting on his cellphone, in order to get my work papers so I could finally pay the bill and go home. After the bill was paid, I then had my patience tested even further with a long wait to have the car driven over so that I could leave. I had to remind the lady three times to call the attendant and have him bring the car to me, sigh....Based on yesterday's experience, I dont see any reason to visit Paragon Honda again. When my Inpection is due next month, I'd rather just go to 'Pep Boys', where I can simply park the car in their lot, get to the counter within a few minutes and have the work ready to be done, and its usually not a long wait to get the car when its ready. They also send discount coupons to me on a regular basis, which is appreciated, as I am struggling financially with alot of debt, and Honda dealer prices are just too expensive for most things. (folks- how long and how hard is it to change two fluids, its not a major engine repair or anything like that! , I'm sure I have to work alot longer to earn the same almost $400, that I had to pay the dealer for the simple job).

I am impressed with the level of professionalism and courtesy shown to me from the employees at Paragon Honda. Sales employee, Fernando Urdininea was helpful with finding exactly the car I wanted (2016 Honda Accord Touring) and with no pressure I was comfortable with my decision. Alexis Mannino in finance went over additional packages and made sure all paperwork was thoroughly in order. Last, but not least Rosaury Delgado, the Delivery Specialist explained all the features available and answered any questions I had about the car. A courtesy call was made by her days later in regards to any other concerns or questions that I may have had.Overall, I am satisfied with the customer service I received. It was Excellent!!!And it's been a pleasure. Thank You

My wife's good friend wanted an Odyssey and although I recommended the Toyota Sienna they were pretty adamant about the Odyssey. OK, I told them to go the the local dealer and find the trim level that fits their budget which t they did. Since I was busy I told them that I would meet them at the dealership. When I got there, they were with Carlos, salesman. At this time, all we needed to work on was price. I know that they are a business and are there to turn a profit. Profit is not a dirty word. Ok, Carlos begins the negotiations with sticker plus a $900 destination or delivery charge. That means that he is trying to sell the Odyssey at $900 over the sticker price. After looking at him like he's nuts, He removes the destination charge, but he is still asking for sticker. I understand the supply and demand thing so if the market is calling for sticker price, then that is what we will have to pay. Carlos didn't budge from that number and I told him, if that is his best offer, you will have to think about it. As we started to leave, he walked away and he murmured to himself "what a waste of time. I know this dealership sells about 400 cars a month due to its prime location but just because someone sits down with you doesn't guarantee a sale. Anyway we were going to go to one more Honda dealer to see if that was true market pricing. After Carlos little comment, we decided that Paragon will not be getting our business. We ended up getting the Odyssey somewhere else with a 28,000 sales price plus taxes and registration. I know for a fact that the dealer we bought it from still made over $2,000 profit as there was a $1,000 incentive from Honda on that 2016 Odyssey LX. That is $2,300 difference than what Carlos gave us.

We are very happy with the car and the whole experience. Micheal took the time with us to explain everything and get us the car we were there for. Angel was also very knowledgeable and facilitated our purchasing. Overall, great team and great experience.

The welcoming atmosphere and excellent customer service received from Moe and Md in sales, and Jason in service department. Loved the fact that you serve the customers lunch and dessert. This is my 4th car, 2 were from dealerships and I've never had that experience. Would recommend some improvement in the buying process as far as the 2 keys for vehicle and that all recalls are done before delivering the car. Had to bring car back twice after purchasing 2 days prior to get the 2nd key made and now it has to go back again for a previous vibration recall. These 2 things should have been done before making them available for purchase and definitely before delivering the car to the buyer. As a customer no matter how great their overall experience was the inconvenience of having to bring car back for a 3rd time days after purchasing is frustrating.

Adul & Erwin were very awesome! I told them how much I was looking to keep my monthly payments around and they showed me a few options. I brought a certified used 2014 Civic Ex and I am in love! Couldn't have asked for a better car buying experience. I highly recommend Paragon Honda ??

I recently purchased a Honda Accord from Paragon. From the start I was treated quickly and professionally. Most importantly, They Listened to what my needs were financially . They worked with me on a price I could afford. The Honda Brand speaks for itself and Paragon met that plateau and made me feel reassured I made the right decision going to them. Both Monica R. and Mike A. knew their details and Mike A. made me feel comfortable making my decision .

I brought my car in for an oil change today and It was the quickest service visit that i've ever had. They have a very nice waiting area and great customer service, especially Anthony and Jason. I will definately come back the next time that I need my car serviced.

Both Mike and Sultan were friendly and knowledgeable. No pressure to buy, just a relaxed atmosphere. I would recommend this dealer to anyone in the market for a used Honda.

We had a very good experience with Paragon Honda. The sales person, Sultan is very friendly and honest. He listened to my needs and exposed me to vehicles that would meet those needs. The best thing about my experience is that he didn't pressure me to make a decision immediately. He has a great personality and made this buying experience enjoyable.

On my last visit for Service I really had a very unpleasant experience. I was recommended too many unnecessary jobs to be done to the car. This is unethical !!! Nowadays, in order to maintain business in this competitive world, you need to create some sort of "trust" with your clients, otherwise, the voice of your clientele will be heard openly at sites like this one!! The best advertisement for any business with the "Word of your Customers", and without customer...you can't run the business. I ended up spending a lot of money that it was not required. I will NOT come back again!! I was helped by Denise.

I was looking for a perticular Honda Accord and when I went to dealership (all the way from NJ) they said it has a lien and will be lifted in 10 days. I waited. In 5 days I got a call from Jennifer saying the lien is all clean so I again went there and this time 'Sayyed' told me that the Lien is still there. After 5 more days I was again called by Mike that the lien was lifted so I went the next day (all the way from NJ) and this time at the dealership Sultan told me that the lien was not lifted by the credit union. Why do you call me without checking the facts? After 4 days I get a call from Jennifer saying the lien was clean. Just one day ago I lost my first cousin and I told Jennifer that I will come after 7 days and if they can hold it. But after 7 days when I called they have sold the vehicle. I wouldnt have been mad if they wouldnt have called me 3 times only to tell me that the lien is not clear.I waited for 15 days for them and they couldnt wait for 7 days (and that too for an honest reason). These guys seriously lack conscience and are extremely unprofessional. They all should feel so low but they wont because they dont have souls

On November 22, 2015 my niece went with her husband to Paragon Honda and they bought a 2011 Honda CRV for $16,400. The next day my nice started calling me to ask for my advise. She went on to tell me that Mr. Alan D. Gensler the finance manager had called her and told her to return to Paragon Honda to sign the contract again because he forgot to add the road side hazard insurance. I told her to show me the paperwork on the sale and for my surprise Mr. Alan D. Gensler had done the same scam he did to my mother in law back in June of 2010. Mr. Alan D. Gensler had told my niece that she qualified for a 11% interest rate and that if she bought the honda care, key replacement, low jack, road hazard, etc (totaling $4,647 dollars= over $6k after the end of the loan with interest), that he could lower her interest rate to 8%. The exact same lie he told my mother in law back then. He said that my niece would be paying $455 a month with the 11% rate which is more like 18.1% paying that amount per month. Mr. Alan D. Gensler then told her if she bought the extra warranties and packages that he would be able to lower her interest rate to 8%. I told my nice to go back to Paragon Honda and demand to speak to the Manager and have all the extras removed from her bill that it was a scam and that Mr. Alan D. Gensler had done this to my mother in law before. I told her it was all a scam to go back. She went back with her husband and when they got there Mr. Alan D. Gensler kept telling them that they can pay $455 a month with no warranty, or pay $437 a month if they add the extras. He went on to say the same thing he told me and my mother in law, that by adding the Honda Care warranty that Honda would rather have her pay less in the interest rate so she "can afford to get the Honda Care Package" and maintenance of her car. I kept calling her while she was at Paragon Honda and kept telling her to demand that all she wanted was the vehicle and no extras. She kept telling me that Mr. Alan D. Gensler kept insisting in keeping all the extra warranties and not remove them. I told her to ask for the manager Mike Adovic and put him on the phone for me so I can speak to him and have the same conversation we had back in June of 2010. At that time my nice told me that Mr. Alan D. Gensler was in another office talking to the manager then came back and told her "alright, we are going to keep the 8% interest rate and your monthly payments will be $338." The fact that it keeps happening goes to show that this is common practice at Paragon Honda. Had my nice told me she was planning to go to Paragon Honda, I would had told her not to go there for the very same reason of what happened to her when she went to this dealership.

I have been to Paragon Honda over 20 times ever since I purchased my Honda in 2007. They always are very helpful in explaining what needs to be done and I trust their assessments. They are always willing to help you out and are very customer service focused.

Went in to buy a honda civic. I hadn't eye on a honda civic base package. Ariel was rude incompetent and tried to force me to buy a premium package which I didn't want. I have a dog I don't want leather. He kept pushing a car on the lot that had leather and told me the car I want would take a while to get. I told him I can wait no worries. Very rude and pushy saleman. They have lost my business.

I usually don't write reviews. .but Denise went beyond what was expected.....I was stuck and she went out of her way to help me on her day off!!!!! Even though it took a long time for the tow truck to come and then another two hours to fix the car....I am happy that someone was willing to help me...I didn't know what to do or who to call....THANK YOU!

Mike Adovic is a human genius. Go to Paragon Honda and he will work miracles for you! Sultan Haseq wont be a bad idea to work with either. He also works miracles for you. Shun Rodriguez is a number 1 hitter along with Adrian Martinez hes the undercover master! Before you go car shopping, make sure make your way to Paragon Honda first.

I purchased a Honda Pilot from paragon Honda in woodside NY. The car was listed as certified but they said it was not. When I arrived at the dealer the car was not ready to be picked up. As I wondered where the car was I was told it was being detailed. However I found out that someone took the car out for a test drive. We sat in the dealer office for 3hours to receive plates. After the plates came as we approached the vehicle inside was filthy. TONY WHO WAS TAKING CARE OF US LIED ABOUT THE CAR BEING DETAILED. So now we had to wait another hour and a half. I left my wife to wait for the car because I had to work. THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS NOT SATISFACTORY. I AM STILL UPSET BECAUSE THEY RUSHED THE DETAILING OF THE CAR AND A GOOD JOB WAS NOT DONE. I give PARAGON HONDA IN WOODSIDE QUEENS HALF A STAR...

i bought certified Honda odyssey 2013 recently. This is the 2nd time I came to this dealership to buy certified car in three years coming from new jersey. Unlike many dealership in NJ, there is no hidden fee (such as documentation fee) in the process purchase. The car price is also relative cheaper than NJ. Their competitive price make the price negotiation not a drama or nightmare, which like it. I particularly like the sale person Sulton and his manager Sayed whom I bought cars twice in three years. Besides being nice and professional, the best part of them is that they do not play games.

Please note that when you buy/ lease a Honda and it comes with a 24 month long free oil changes ..... But you should also know that it takes 3 hours to get it done. I had a 11am appointment and left the shop at 2pm. The same exact service at any gas station would take you not more than 30 minutes. Who can wait 3 hours for a oil change???!!!!! I work 50 hours a week and have only 2 days off. I wish i could spend this time with my family not with other 30-40 people in a waiting room. If at least they would tell you on the phone so you can make arrangements to leave the car there and to pick it up when is ready. This place has no costumer service awareness. This is the last Honda i lease, just for this reason.

PARAGON IS A SCAM
Jan 14, 2016
I drove up from Pennsylvania to buy a car from this dealership. They had the best price listed online so I figured that I could not go wrong. I called up on a Friday night and they told me they would take $250 off the listing price. It was a no brainer to go up the next morning to buy the car. I had the person I spoke to on the phone text me the offer so that I wouldnt waste my time driving 3 hours. Well you wouldnt believe it... I walk in on Saturday morning and they tell me that they will not honor the $250 and they are making me pay the full sticker price. I was stuck 3 hours from home so I had to bite the bullet. Anyway, I go ahead and buy the car. It cant get much worse right? Well it did... The gas tank was empty, the windshield wipers barely worked, the car was not detailed very well, and the manager Rob and the other manager(female) with short hair treated me like I was the xxxx of the earth. The car was also missing a head rest and that took over 3 weeks to get in. They told me it took forever because of the Thanksgiving holiday. If you plan on buying a car, please save your time, money, and headaches and go somewhere else. It is worth paying a couple hundred dollars extra because they will pull the old "bait and switch"... Trust the bad reviews on this website and go somewhere else.

Absolutely outstanding experience with a sales associate Mohammed and manager Mike Adovic! From the moment we made a phonecall to inquire about the car of our choice, to the moment when we arrived at the dealership, the experience was great, professional and as good as they promised it will be! Thank you Mike and the team!!! We will be back and we will recommend you to our closest friends and family!

I purchased a CPO CRV in October and was very disappointed with a couple parts of my experience. When browsing at Paragon, I started up the car that I would eventually purchase and one of the dashboard lights came on. The sales associate told me that it indicated low tire pressure; he said it was caused by the cold weather and that it would turn off on its own once it was driven a bit. I took his word, but the dash light was still on after I drove it home. One of the tires looked a a little low, so I refilled it and figured it'd be fine. A week later, the low-pressure light came back on, so I took it back to Paragon to get checked. After waiting for an hour and half, they found that the tire had a slow leak caused by a nail. Since the tire had been low when it was sitting in the dealer's lot, I'd bet the nail was in the tire before I even bought it. Anyway, they told me they couldn't fix it that night and that I should bring it back first thing the next day for a quick repair.I brought it back the next morning and waited 3.5 hours to get the nail removed. A week later, the dashboard light came back on because the same tire was low again. I took it to a local mechanic and they said the tire was plugged poorly and the plug was leaking. My local mechanic not only fixed the plug, they also patched the tire (which is what should have been done by Paragon). And this is all on a CPO car that should have had a NEW tire when I bought it. Instead, I got a tire that probably had a nail in it to start, wasted over 5 hours at the dealership, and had to pay to get it correctly fixed elsewhere. On top of this, my front license plate was incorrectly mounted by the dealership. It fell off and was lost at some point during my first trip on the highway. After I bought replacement parts, it was obvious that the xxxxx in the bumper were stripped (probably from removing the old owner's plate) and the tapping screws wouldn't hold. This is something that would have taken just a little bit of care to do properly and resulted in an enormous headache on my part to get resolved. When I contacted Paragon about the process for getting it replaced, they gave me information that differed from the DMV website and offered no help in obtaining or installing a replacement license plate mount. I was also surprised with the condition of the car when I got it -- the dirty paper floor mats had been crumpled up and stuck above the sun visors and the ceiling of the vehicle was way dirty (despite having requested that it be cleaned). Overall, I was very unhappy with my experience at Paragon Honda. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to a friend or family member and will definitely be shopping at another dealership for my next car purchase. I *will* say that everyone I dealt with at Paragon was friendly, but that doesn't come close to compensating for the poor quality of the service I received.

Bought a certified pre-owned Accord in early Dec. From my own research, the price they gave will be considered fair. I will comment on the car and the purchase experience/customer service.As far as the car is concerned, I'm largely satisfied with what I got. A few things though:1) I'm glad they bother to fill up the tank on the delivery (asked me to do it myself by handing me a voucher; I don't have a problem with that). The gas station I was asked to go was Citgo which is not part of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. Honda very highly recommends it, so why does this self-proclaimed top Honda dealer in the U.S. not listen to Honda?2) They installed the number plates but put screws only in the top of the plate leaving the bottom screw-less. Two more screws won't make Paragon all the more poor.3) I didn't test-run the wipers. Turns out they don't wipe clean! The 182-point Honda inspection specifically says "Must wipe clean" for the wiper blade inspection and guess what? It was checked "Yes". I had to order new wiper blades myself and replaced them recently. Paragon can claim the wiper blades were fine when they delivered but if they deteriorate that much in less than a month, nobody would any Honda parts. I called Paragon but the customer rep just told me to replace them myself. What worries me is that if the inspector checked it yes while clearly they don't wipe clean, what else did he/she check yes w/o even checking? That would violate Honda requirement, wouldn't it? Regarding the customer service, I didn't think it was great. Maybe I haven't been to enough car dealers to appreciate Paragon more? But I saw nothing spectacular about the customer service. I'm not saying it was bad, but it was just okay and met the minimum expectation of a car dealership. 1) For some reason, I felt like the sales rep didn't want to talk to me. Maybe he was just a man of few words (which would be curious for the career). He did answer me when I asked questions, but I felt increasingly uneasy asking more questions 'cos I felt like he was getting annoyed by questions. Also, not that I was craving for coffee, but I could have used a cup while shopping.2) While I was looking at the car, I noticed the key fob had a low battery. The dashboard is showing Low Batt. I notified the sales rep and he assured it would be replaced before I came to pick it up. But it was not. And I was asked to come back another day. I didn't understand why I had to come back day for something as simple as replacing a CR2032 battery; I didn't get any explanation why either. It looks like their service department closes by 4pm and I picked up the car around 6pm. So I came back another day. I was asked to show him proof that there is indeed the Low Batt warning on the dashboard. Thank god I didn't come by subway that day. Why would I lie about this low battery thing? I didn't feel very good about being treated that way. Replaced the battery, he did, after I waited for half hour on a weekday during my office hour while a bunch of their staff were hanging around apparently not busy. Couldn't any of them be told what should be done to help a customer of Paragon? Why did it have to be this specific sales rep only? Especially when this is a fairly easy and simple thing to do.For their part, Paragon did do well with the DMV paperworks! I received all the documents in due time and they even bothered to send me a refund check for the DMV fees they collected in excess of what it actually cost them.Overall, I'm giving them a 4 stars 'cos apart from the customer service and the wiper blades which caused me annoyance, I didn't encounter definite downers at this dealership. Would I wholeheartedly recommend this? I would say do pay a visit to this dealer but not exclusively.

I drove all the way down from upstate New York to Paragon dealership because they appeared to have the best prices as a result of my research in obtaining the CRV AWD LX. I regret doing so, what a waste of time. I knew exactly what cars I came to see, knewexactly hoiw much I wanted to spend and mind you, I was already approved through my credit union. The young, inexperience young man I dealt with was a joke, did not comprehend well and despite what I asked, ge did the total opposite. His co-worker observed his inexperienced behavior and they conspired to let his co-worker chime in and try to fast talk me into a sale. Then the manager found out that they let a certified buyer leave without sealing the deal. The dum manager sends me via email a purchase agreement without any signatures from buyer or seller. The credit union needed the signed purchase agreement in order to process and release the check to pay for car. I didn't even bother to respond to the manager as the instructions and paperwork needed from credit union, i sent to him, which was crystal clear and detailed. Either they couldn't read or just didn't bother to read the material, either way, it was a tragedy!

I went to buy a car. They were trying to sell me a a car that was scratched all around I told them they had to fix it for me to buy it ok. They said ok, come get the car after thanksgiving. I go to pick up the car and they told me they messed up the paperwork on the title and they gave me the same exact car less miles for the same price. When I went to see it this car was also all scratched up. That's when I started to realize these people are shady. They got a bunch of you kids who are clueless. Anyways they say ok give us a few days we'll paint the car for you. That was Dec 10 , it's Christmas Eve and I still don't have the car after I was left a voicemail from service saying by Monday12-20 I call Monday and made sure I told them this car is a gift , so they tell me Tuesday. I call Tuesday they tell me weds. And Christmas Eve and I don't got the car to give to my fiance. Between Th sales experience and service experience this is the worst place to buy a car. Stay away.

I will never, EVER get my car serviced at Paragon Honda again. I will never buy a Honda product again because of this experience. After my car sits for three days in the service department with no word, and after no less than 12 calls to the service department, I finally am able to get a hold of my "service" representative through his supervisor, Chris. Nick tells me that my car will need a new starter clutch, the exact same repair that I had paid $2500 for less than 10,000 miles previous. When faced with this information, Nick and his department refused to stand by their work and propose to charge me full price for another new starter clutch installation. Unacceptable.Just last May, after less than 70,000 miles, my hybrid battery went "bad" (according to the engine codes) and had to be replaced to the tune of $3500. The warranty had expired less than one month prior. If I didn't agree to replace the hybrid battery (even though the car was running fine), Paragon would not pass the car for the NY State inspection. These guys have no integrity.Lastly "Brian Benstock," I'm sure you will reply with one of your boilerplate messages about how you'll do everything you can to fix this problem. Your service department has my phone number, feel free to give me a call. If you're serious about standing behind your service, you'll make this right.

My Sales Associate, Ruisdael, was very helpful and informative about Honda's product line. He definitely knows the products he's selling and has a very good customer service. He didn't make me feel forced or obligated to purchase but made me feel good on my decision once I decided on a car. I am very impress with the customer service and professionalism I experienced. Excellent, competitive pricing and the customer service is second to none. Once I've selected the car that I wanted and ready to drive it out of the lot, Shun (Delivery Specialist) sat with me in the car and took her time explaining the features of my new Honda Civic. She was very thorough, knowledgeable and very helpful. She answered all my questions and even called a few days later to follow up. You have a great team and this is why you're the #1 dealer in the world. I'm very happy with my decision and will definitely refer Paragon Honda to my family and friends. My brother and sister in-laws have purchased a few cars from Paragon Honda already and I'm definitely now a member of Paragon family for life. Thanks for helping me with my purchase and will see you with my future purchases. Keep up the good work!!! -Sam Alcotas

I recently purchased a pre-owned vehicle at Paragon Honda and my experience was excellent. Salesperson Monica, general manager Mike and everyone involved were very pleasant to deal with, very attentive, respectful and offered me a great deal. Paragon Honda and Acura websites have a list of pre-owned vehicles in their inventory with photos, technical details, etc, so I suggest you do your homework before stopping by. Take a look at the website, compare the models they offer, prices and then go to Paragon. This is the 3rd time I buy a vehicle at Paragon and for the 3rd time Mike (general manager) proved that they do plain honest business. The price on the website was the price I paid, no tricks and no hidden fees. I totally recommend Paragon!

I was very pleased with my experience at the Service Center because of the friendly and patient demeanor demonstrated by my service advisor, Denise. I felt the most comfortable I've ever felt in regard to asking all of the questions I had about my car. I received thorough and informative explanations which I appreciated very much. It's incredibly important to feel the advisor is listening to the customer, and Denise truly listened. Thank you!!!!!!

Oct 7, 2015
We agreed on a price for an Accord EX-L 2 weeks ago, they didn't have the car in stock so we left a $1000 deposit so they could do a dealer trade. A buy order was signed for $23,716, 2 days later, we got a call that they found the car and we could pick it up. We're from Queens, currently living in Syracuse, so the earliest we were able to make it back was today. We gave them a heads up, and everything seemed to be in order. We walked in today and before we could finish the rest of the other paperwork, they had us call geico to have the car added to our insurance. I thought that was a little fishy, since that's normally one of the final steps. They hadn't even run our credit yet. As soon as the car had been added to our policy, I suppose they thought we would feel trapped and they reneged on the agreed upon price. They claimed the original price was made in error and the GM wouldn't sign off on it, even though a desk manager had done so 2 weeks ago. They wanted an extra $1200 for the car!!! They couldn't have told me this when I was still in Syracuse?? And what the heck was the deposit for?? I can't have my deposit back if I back out, but they can back out on an agreed upon price and still keep their doors open?? Is that even legal?The most frustrating thing is that they knew we were traveling from out of town specifically to pick up this vehicle. A heads up on a (very unethical) price change would've been appreciated. Although unhappy, we could've gotten our deposit back right then without having to waste a 10 hr round trip drive to hear the news.Needless to say, we walked out of there without the vehicle. I personally hope that anyone reading this would have second thoughts about ever setting foot in this dealership.

My name is Jordan. My experience began just fine. I walked in, purchased a car, and left. Shortly after that, I experienced a small problem with one of the tires. Fine, no big deal, I bring it back and they fix it. All is well with the car going forward.A year later, when looking to rotate the tires, there was a problem that I wanted to discuss with the service shop of Paragon. This is where things progress downward. The problem with Paragon Honda is not in the mechanics themselves, or the work they provide. My issue was there was no one EVER available to speak with. I left multiple messages with the call center. I was told every time I called that no one was available to talk to me, and that I could leave a message. Combining phone calls from Tuesday until Saturday, I spent (based on the total of call duration in my cell phone, 72 minutes on the phone with the call center. On one occasion, I spoke with a person in the service station. They were unable to answer any of the questions I had directly. I asked to speak with a manager, a gentleman named Alex I was informed. However, as expected, he was unable to talk to me at the time. So of course, I leave a message. That was Thursday.Saturday comes, and my wife can't wait anymore. She decides to take the car to the dealership and have them take a look. She was confronted with a number of questions as to why she didn't make an appointment. My wife explained that I had spent over an hour attempting to contact someone in the service center with no success. At this point, at least they take the car in and tell her 2-3 hours. She dropped the car prior to 11:00 a.m.By 3:30, with no call from the dealership, my wife goes back to the shop. I from here spent more time attempting to speak with SOMEONE, ANYONE who can tell me what the status is. Again, no one is available at the service station to take my call. I refuse to leave a message because by this time what would be the point? From here, I am transferred multiple times to many different lines.At this time, I get the name of the GM, Brian. This itself took 6 phone transfers to reach a mailbox. On his voicemail, he provides a cell phone number (very quickly, so fast that I had to go through the process again of transfers and holding to get to his voicemail to be ready to take down the cell number) and I leave a message. I call the Sales department. Here is one of the first bright spots. A gentleman who is new to the job as he adds, does try his very hardest to connect me with someone in the service department. Good on him, sorry for not remembering your name. A man, Rafael, I believe, again does his best to find out the status of the car. It is at this time, nearing or passing 4:00. He tells me it is ready. Very good, ok.I call Brian on his cell phone. To his credit, he does answer. At this point, all I want to do is inform him that the service his dealership provides is below expectations. I express my complaints as I listed them above. The focus Brian took was to the service provided by the mechanics themselves. This is NOT what I, at ANY point, was unhappy with. I was not pleased to spend over an hour on the phone between Tuesday and Saturday to find out if something is covered by the station or not. I did what I could to express that to him, but again his focus was on the mechanics themselves. I end the call with Brian telling me he will get in touch with Anthony, the manager of the service station.My wife calls, no managers are in the shop, go figure. She was treated rudely by all but ONE individual in the establishment. The man she dropped the car off with would not talk to her. No one would tell her that the car was ready.Shortly after, Brian calls me back. At this point he has a 1-way conversation, where he WOULD NOT stop talking to allow me to respond to him AT ANY time. He accuses me of lying about previous work done to the car. Again, his only focus appears to be on the mechanics, which is the least of any issue I had. At one point I actually told him, "You are being condescending." His response was along the lines, and this is a paraphrase, "I listened to your complaints, now you will listen to me talk." Unacceptable. I told him that I can see the attitude that is pervasive throughout the company comes straight from the top. His tone and overall nature are indicative of most of his employees. I did manage to not curse at him and hang up. *Pat on my back*Next, and this is the ONLY reason this is not 1 star, Anthony calls me. He had been trying to get me the entire time Brian was holding his one-sided "conversation" with me. This man is THE ONLY PERSON worth a damn at this place. THE ONLY PERSON who expressed sheer embarrassment on behalf of the service not provided by his shop. He even went so far as to provide my wife and I with his personal phone number, where he offered to "take care of anything we need with the car" including oil changes. A kind gesture, although unfortunately too late.

I have worked with Mike in 2013 and leased my Honda pilot. He went out of his way to accommodate me and my husband,. I recently turned in my pilot and was very upset about it. But, with the help of Mike he helped us find the perfect car that find the perfect car that fit our needs and financial situation. They are not pushy at this dealership. they want you to leave happy.. I would highly recommend this place along with mike Adovic and Monica Gonzalez to anyone looking for a car.

My husband and I recently bought a Honda CRV and we love it! We worked with Monica who was so sweet and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend her! Just like anything however, do your research prior to settling on the numbers. We brought it some of our numbers from TrueCar and Edmunds. After presenting them with what we found, we worked out a great (and fair!) deal.

On August 11, 2015 I went to Paragon Honda looking for a 2013 Honda Accord that I had seen on the Honda website. I had read reviews about Paragon that were not too flattering. But they had the car I wanted. A white 4 door EXL-V6 and this one had 6k miles on it and I wanted it. Car is practically brand new! Barely driven. Car still has the new car smell. I took a chance and it paid off! When I walked in a tall gentleman greeted me and my wife and asked if we had an appointment. We didn't so he asked us to have a seat and said that he would get us someone who could help us. A minute later he came and introduced us to Fernando Urdininea. Fernando asked if i was looking for something in particular. I told him what i was looking for and even showed him a picture that I had downloaded from the Honda website. We took a walk, Fernando got the car and I took it for a test drive. The proverbial cream puff. Now its time to make a deal. I paid the price I saw online and I was happy. Now last week my batter symbol came up. To make a longer story shorter, I emailed Fernando who was able to set me up with an appointment on a Saturday. Took the car in and the put it on the computer and no faults came up. They gave me a new battery and off I went. When I purchased the car I did not get the Extended Warranty and after thinking about it for a while decided to go back to Paragon and get it. 7 year/100k warranty for $1700.00, practically the whole car is covered...at least we'll find out for sure if I ever have to take it in. On my way to the dealer, the batter light came on again. Told Fernando who took my car back to the Service center and it turns out that the battery that I needed was for my wife's key fob. They changed the battery on that also. Thanks to George in the Service dept. From the sale floor to the Service center Paragon came thru 110%! Thanks Fernando for taking care of a customer after the deal has been done. Most of the time you are forgotten after you have signed on the dotted line. Fernando didn't forget. If you decide to go to Paragon be sure to ask for Fernando. You will not regret it. Paragon, you gained a new customer as wifey will be shopping for a CRV very soon. Thanks Fernando, George & Paragon!!!

I have been customer with Paragon Honda since 2007 and twice have terrible experience. It is not the sales rep. I dealt with Mike who is sales rep. He was excellent but Finance guy is horrible. I was there for service and toll them 91 and half hour to work with on the deal. That is what I have say about the Finance person.Service people I deal with when I get service done are great and do excellent wotrk.

Our salesperson, Miles Villada, was attentive and followed up effectively, never pressured us, but was always ready to support us and make sure we had chosen the right car. Working with his manager Abdul Seraj, who also provided great service and was very knowledgeable about implementing our third-party financing, as well as navigating DMV rules, there was never a problem getting past the speed-bumps in our somewhat complicated (credit union loan, delivery out-of-state) purchase. Highly recommend!

Buyer Beware of the shifty tactic to get you in with the old bait and switch. I called dealer and spoke to manager Rob. Gave specific car I was interested in off the internet. I was told they have the car in stock and they can get the keys ready to come in. I said I was driving 2 hours to get there and please ensure that they have the exact car listed. I was told Yes buy manager. Showed up 2 hours later and was told the car I was looking for was sold 2 days prior. What a waste of time. I left Paragon Honda and WENT TO HILLSIDE HONDA and bought a New Honda Pilot. HILLSIDE HONDA IS SO MUCH BETTER AND HAS SOME MORALES. Stay away from the dog pit that paragon honda is. If you go there you will understand what I mean. SO BAD.. Take a look at YELP reviews not so good. Most say the same thing which is a good sign that its all true. They LIE to get a sale which is dog crap....

Unprofessional! I recommended this dealership to my friend due to the large inventory of certified pre-owned Honda CRVs. After being shown several, we test drove one and after a price negotiation, made a $500 deposit on the car. We came back two days later to appraise trade-in and finalize the deal but interestingly enough sale could not go through since there was a lien on the car. Now it would take a week to come through but they could show us other cars.However upon checking DMV records, the title on that car was clean and when I called anonymously to check if car was available (even with a $500 deposit), I was told yes and available to be test driven.So lies all around from salesman to manager to customer rep. They obviously didn't want to go through with sale price negotiated or they practice the unscrupulous "bait and switch". Even getting deposit refunded was conducted in such a rude and discourteous manner.I should have read the reviews before going. Paragon does have a large inventory but can you trust them with what you are buying! Happy to say went on Long Island and had an amazing experience with Nardy of Smithtown. So worth the trip!Christine

I was with a friend on Friday in the used car department when I witness the most terrible behavior by a manager. The manager I believe is named Mike started screaming at an employee in the showroom floor in front of customers. Such behavior is wrong and should not be tolerated by the owner of the establishment. Stay away from this man

If you want a great vehicle, look no further than paragon Honda. They've got a whole variety of vehicles ranging from sedans to family SUVs to suit everyone's needs. The staff is great, they are friendly and treat you like family. I want to give a shout out to Mike the manager, Steven the sells guy, David their financial manager, Karla the tech girl, and Monica the sweet one, for helping me find the right vehicle. I would definitely recomend this dealership to anyone who wants a great car, simple as that!!!

From the minute we walked into Paragon Honda, we were treated with such professionalism by the staff. They were very patient and understanding with all of our needs and questions. They treated us like family and provided us with an exceptional quality service. Mike Adovic is a true professional. Mike was committed in ensuring that we were provided with an exceptional service and made this whole experience a very memorable one. He certainly is an asset to Honda and he went above and beyond our expectations to fulfill all of our requests. We would like acknowledge and thank our sales person Nelson Diaz for his professionalism and respect during our exciting experience. Nelson was very accommodating and at the same time he used his skills to assist us in making our decision. He followed up with all of our requests and was very committed in ensuring our satisfaction. Through this experience, we had the pleasure to meet Adtnan from the finance department who is also professional and very knowledgable in his field. With Adtnans ability and experience, he was able to persuade us by explaining and demonstrating different scenarios so that we can feel comfortable in making the financial decision.I will recommend Paragon Honda to all of my friends and family because I would like them to enjoy the great experience I had. Thank You Paragon Honda! We love our Acura!

My husband and I came to Paragon Honda and it was a wonderful experience. We purchased a Honda CRV on Saturday and I am writing this review on a Tuesday because we have been out every single day, enjoying our new car. We absolutely LOVE it and couldn't have done it without Mike Adovic. He was extremely helpful and made our choice an easy one to make. He gave us a great deal on the car and we are forever grateful. Mike and his staff made us feel welcomed and they took their time with us, which made us feel important and special. This is the first time we purchased a car and we are so happy we came to this dealership. This won't be our last time here, we will always come back here to buy the next one! Thank you so much Mr. Adovic, you are the best and so is Paragon Honda! =)

Worst place on earth to spend you hard earned money. My parents and I both financed and leased three cars and my parents referred my aunt, my moms best friend and my dads best friend and other family members and friends and Paragon Honda took complete advantage of us despite all the business we have brought to them. Regardless of good credit and bad credit everyone should be treated the same and Olivia Shin and Kae Yoon ripped us off ESPECIALLY my parents and my aunt off because of their low credit. My dad traded in our Honda Odyssey EX-L NAVI 2008 and they only gave us $5,000 for it and promised my dad a $2,000 credit towards his next vehicle when we purchased the 2008 Odyssey, and our newly purchased Odyssey 2015 EX with absolutely no options never got the credit for $2,000 and his $5,000 trade in was used towards Lo-Jack, Extended Warranty, Tire/Rim? Warranty? what is that even on a NEW car? and an unnecessary alarm system for a car that will be installed with Lo Jack? WHY do we even pay for insurance if they want my dad to purchase all these add ons for having low credit? It doesn't mean he will use the car recklessly because he has low credit but come on, seriously? that's how you treat you loyal clients who bring you business? I will forever preach how my parents and my aunt were ripped off and continue to write bad reviews about this dealership. I cannot wait until my lease is over and going to do everything in my power to make sure my parents get their fair end of the deal and write bad reviews everywhere. This only came to light when I saw the news and the newspapers about how this dealership ripped off people and pocketed hard earned money. Paragon Honda might as well get rid of all the bilingual sales people because once you go into the finance office the Korean and Chinese and other spoken languages they offer go out the door and its all in English and that where the confusion and all the "ripping off" happens. BUNCH OF RIP OFFS! I would give NEGATIVE stars if I could. I give 5 stars on friendliness, but thats MOST LIKELY because they just want your money.

From the second I walked inside I had the best experience. Quedwin was awesome to say the least. He worked with me every step of the way to make sure I got the car I loved. Edgar who did all the financial operations was also great. He made sure to try everything possible to get my car are a good price. And Ariel was always around to make sure we were satisfied. All in all they made my experience of leasing my first car a great one and I'm glad I chose them!

A couple of months ago I replaced the linkage on my Honda Element with another mechanic,I took my car to the Honda service center for an inspection and they told me the linkage in mycar was worn and they needed to replace it. That's when I called them liars and told them not to touch my car. You would think that they are reputable, but, they're not. All they want is your money!DO NOT TRUST THEM!

Believe me when I say that I have been to every major dealership on northern blvd in pursuit of a new vehicle.Upon arrival at the Honda dealership I was greeted by Haitham Elkholi who helped me and sold me on a Honda Accord sport without being pushy or using aggressive sales tactics. As a matter of fact he quickly helped me get in a test drive before he even had a guarantee from me of purchase. I can say that for such a big decision ( purchasing a vehicle) my experience at Honda of paragon was pleasant and quite effortless. They were professional, courteous and knowledgable. Special thanks to Gabriel in financing as well who worked a miraculous deal for me and secured me a relatively low interest rate for my credit score. Overall great place and a great atmosphere to buy a car.

I had the most excellent service today at Paragon Honda. Everyone had a smile on and was very helpful and nice. I would like to give my extreme appreciation to my car dealer Haitham! He went above and beyond to make sure that the deal was able to fit mine and my family's budget. He was extremely patient and kind throughout the whole two day process of leasing my first car! Yesterday we spent a couple of hours trying to come to an agreement and we didn't end up getting everything finalized and as I was going home with my fiance and daughter, he offered to take us home on his own time! That is what seperates Haitham from any other dealer I have come across throughout this process! He is a genuinely kind person and I would surely recommend him to any friend or relative!

Watch out when Paragon offers you Financial Deal & Car Price. My experience with them, I find they are very tricky and do not open up financial option on the table. I find them very strange, yes they are in business for last numbers of years but I am suspicious about Honda Paragons offers & deals. I wish consumers affairs review Paragon Hondas business how many customer they R. Yes I admit I was a fool that I visited there Show Room in Northern Blvd and bought from them. Deal I stuck with them same deal I found in the internet and other dealer much better then Paragon Honda. Now I will be over paying about hundreds or more every month.

This Dealership was recommended to us via Geico. Our sales person, Quedwin, was very helpful and went out of his way to give us a feel and understanding of the car. He was great but when it came time to discuss the trade in value of our car the dealership completely tried to take advantage of us. I looked up the value of our car before coming to the dealership on several sites (such KBB, cars, edmunds, and autotrader) and they tried to under value the car by at least $2000 to $1000. The person in charge of looking at vehicles for trade in just turned the car on and looked at the mileage. That was his whole assessment of the vehicle. I showed them what it was valued at on KBB and Edmunds but they did not care. We walked away without purchasing a new car because we felt like this dealership completely tried to take advantage of us. Our sales person, Quedwin, was great but the management is not.

It was awesome experience compare to Bronx Honda. They had only the best interest in my family budget. The sale man Mahesh was extremely helpful, patient, and detailed-oriented. He did not put us any pressure on buying any SUV. I also want to mention Matt who help us out in Financial department. These two are such great employees to Paragon Honda. I give them two thumbs for a awesome job. They both put my nerve at ease when I needed the most.

I purchased Honda Fit in Jan 2015. I like my salesperson, Rosa. She is very friendly. The reason why I titled my review as "mix review" is because what happened after I signed the agreement. I was put through to speak to a woman with black hair to get my license plate. She gave me a terrible license #. It's considered as bad luck in my culture. She dismissed my concern quickly and said there is nothing she could do. I would have to go to DMV and pay extra to change my license plate #. I should've told her I would cancel my credit card and cancel the purchase. It was rainy on that day. She didn't want to get wet so she asked her colleague to carry an umbrella and escorted her to my car so she can go over the feature with me. Meanwhile, I, the customer, was soaked by the time I got in my car. She was very impatient when she showed me the car feature. I was very annoyed with her at that point and wanted her out of my car so I told her I will read the manual. It takes me a while to write this review because I just found out how much will cost me to change the license plate. Her abrasive attitude is not a good fit for customer service.

Haitham is one of the best sales rep I had.. He was very outspoken and went through out everything with me,. Also before me coming a purchasing anything I had went by a year ago and I was unable of getting my car.. But Haitham was consistent and called me about three times last year for me to come in.. I gladly appreciate that he did because I got what I wanted... Thanks Haitham.. I would surely recommend you to any of my family or friends..

My sales person was the worst salesperson I've ever dealt with in many years (13) of being a Honda Leaser. This is my 4th CRV and finally decided to go all out and get the top of the line 2015 CR-V Touring. Confident that I would walk out with an outstanding deal, Moe decided to take matters in his own hand and not only did he lack the ability to listen to the customer, he also discouraged me from making the offers I thought were fair. He would ask me what my offer was but would write down a different/higher offer amount on the offer sheet. Now I'm not so sure I got a good deal. The deceit continued when we arrived at the final offer (at this point, I just wanted to get the xxxx out of the place) and Moe still managed to sneak in .98 cents on the final amount. Would his commission really have gone up drastically for a lousy $0.98 a month? Had I noticed, I would've walked out immediately, but I was too trusting of a person, when you say the amount was 385 a month, then it's 385... Not $385.98!!! Another issue, the minute we walked in, I asked him about their Touring Inventory and was assured they had every color and that the dealership had the biggest inventory of Tourings in all of NY. Near closing the deal, Moe asked which were my three color options, to make the long story short, I ended up with the vehicle he put me in to test drive! Had I known I was gonna end up with a test driven car, I would've picked out my first choice from the warehouse. His response was, they didn't have the other two colors in stock. The whole ordeal was needless to say very DISAPPOINTING... And he had the odacity to beg me for an excellent review at the end. You could've done better sir!!! Then perhaps I would've given you a better review. I'm going back to my previous dealer when it's time to renew my lease. Thanks a lot Mr. Khair! You will not be getting referrals from me!

When I took it to another Honda dealer they checked the vehicle out and gave me a long list of issues: the battery died as a result of an after market wiring harness that may or may not have been connected to a one-time security system that was draining battery; the oil pressure switch was low suggesting almost empty and had I driven any further would have destroyed the engine; one of the tires had a bubble that could go at any minute and cause a serious accident and had to be replaced; all remaining tire caps are not able to be removed to adjust tire pressure; front engine mount is torn and needs repair or replacement; latch to open engine hood broken, gave me pliers to use. When I called these issues to the dealer's attention they were completely unsympathetic and told me now that I owned the car they were my problem. Nearly $500 spent to take care of most serious issues with more to come.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Haitham was the absolute best. He really has your best interest at heart. Doesn't beat around the bush and does what he can for you. It really was a pleasure doing business with him!

Sayed is an excellent sales person!! This is my second time here and I couldnt be more satisfied. He's an honest man that doesn't impose his will on you in an effort to make a sale. His customer's needs come first. I will repurchase from this dealership.

Bought a certified 2009 Honda Odyssey EXL from paragon. My salesperson was Haitham Elkholi. He was very helpful through the process. Found a couple of things that slipped during the certification process that I found a year later. Went to Haitham and explained the issues I was having. He took my keys and told me he would take care of it. Waited at his desk while the work was being done. He returned my keys. I checked everything I had told him about and when I did, everything was taken care of. If he didn't take care of it, it would have cost me $185.00. That is what customer service should be. Taking care of your customers after the sale ensures repeat customers. I have been with Paragon Honda for 10 years now. Best salesperson I have had. Thanks for everything.

Everything went as planned. We got what we wanted and the lowest price possible. Haitham was very helpful and assisted us in every step to close the deal. That's the way to do business. Thank you Paragon- Honda and thank you Haitham!

Paragon Honda was a good experience of my vehicle purchase. The price was right my sales person was very friendly but the manager terrible. Mike Adovic helped me a lot and I appreciate his service. The only disappointment I had in this experience was my check i was suppose to receive in not even 2 weeks but took longer than I thought, called almost everyday my sales person ignored me, receptionist tried her best to help as much. Till finally Mohammed replied back to me with an answer that didn't even help but took it anyway. Thank you Mike Adovic and receptionist for all your help. If it wasnt for the receptionist going back and forth with her office I would've have gotten a check from Paragon Honda till months later. Love my car and won't be switching out of it for a while.

After numerous experiences spanning 10 years, I must say this dealership got it together! I successfully set up an appointment online, had a short wait time upon arriving (though be prepared for long lines), though my 2002 Honda Accord required lots of work, we were able to pick up the car at the end of the day and it was in excellent condition. Most impressive was the service we received by Michael Valencia. He is the most professional employee I have ever worked with at this Honda and probably any Honda. I give the center 4 stars and Mike 5. I did not receive compensation for this review.

Mr. Haitham, a sales person at Paragon Honda Woodside, Queens, NY has been very helpful and transparent. Not like one of those you find at the most dealers. He is down to the earth and transparent salesman. He is the kind of man who doesn't cross the limit. Off course ,there is a limit in business field as a human being .

I've never dealt with such nice salespeople in a car dealership before. I was dreading looking for a car because my previous experiences have been long and and extremely frustrating. Mark Carrion, my sales person, was very professional and prompt in responding to my email inquiries for the Civic. When I came to paragon and met him everything went smoothly. He was very attentive and informative. I then met David Pena, the finance manager. He was such a delight to deal with. He was very professional and knew what he was talking about. He was very honest with me and I felt like I could trust him. All in all this was a wonderful experience. I would recommend this dealership to anyone I know looking for a vehicle. Thank you Paragon for making this process such a pleasant one!! And thank you David for such a wonderful experience.

I went to paragon honda on northern Blvd considering leasing a brand new accord. Having recently reviewed my credit report I was pretty confident I would qualify for a low interest rate. The salesman was very friendly, offering me refreshments and joking with me until I informed him I planned on visiting Toyota to compare vehicles. immediately he tells me that their deals are the best around (which they aren't) and pulled up toyota's Web page to prove it. Once he realized toyota had better promotions he ran my credit and informed me that my credit score was much lower than my personal credit report said it was. After an "explanation" as to why the scores we're so different they quoted me at $270 a month for a base model honda civic. I left the dealership with my feelings hurt. I went to toyota anyway just because I had some spare time on my hands to discover that my credit score was 30 points higher than the paragon salesman told me it was. Both salesmen used my expierian score with a 30 point difference leads me to believe the salesman at paragon fudged my numbers to get raise payments through interest rates. I will NEVER consider doing business with them again

Fantastic experience buying a used Honda Civic, courtesy of Sultan Haseq. He helped me buy the exact car I wanted for the best price. When I got a flat tire on the way home, he set up a service appointment for me to have the tire changed, free of charge by the following business day before noon!! He was always exceedingly helpful, he is very hardworking and has a great work ethic and knows how to treat customers. I would 100% recommend this dealership, and 150% recommend Sultan. Ask for him when you go, you won't be disappointed!!!!

I was not a big fan of the manager or the finance person at this place, therefore I will only rate this dealership with 4 stars. Honestly, there were only two reasons I returned to this dealer. One, they had more options when it came to selecting pre-owned certified Honda CRVs. Second, Mr. Sultan Haseq was not your typical car salesman. We told him what we wanted and he delivered. We went to many different dealers and people were trying to sell us whatever it was they wanted to get rid of, not Sultan. Sultan was personable and understanding. As soon as we'd say no to something he was easy going and just went straight to the next car. Even during our first visit when we decided to walk out, he was graceful and followed up when he said he would. I am really happy with the service he provided us with. FYI I absolutely love my car!

First I waited hours at the dealership while they were socializing and carrying on, asked why and they said my paper work was processing. 3 weeks later i was honda financial they still didn't recieve the contract. I then called the dealership and they needed me to come back in because they need a signature they forgot to ask me for. After this problem I found out from honda care that they had my ADDRESS wrong and thats why i haven't recieved my booklet with the service card (since i signed up for the 5 year extended warranty) Then after this and worst of all since they took long they made the first payment on m behalf without my consent of even a heads up. There's so much more but i will leave it at that. stay away!!

Can't be anymore grateful with the wonderful service I received from the delivery coordinator, Mark Caceres and Paragon Honda in general. Came in to search for my solution to frequent car problems from my old car and landed a wonderful deal with an APR of 0% for a 2015 Honda Civic EX. No one had said hello to me after walking in the store but after a few minutes of aimlessly walking around, a friendly face in Mark greeted me and asked if I was being helped. He directed me to a very accommodating and professional salesperson, Eric Aragon. Eric was straight to the point and there were no high pressure tactics. We agreed on a car, color, and price and we got the deal done the same day. I didn't even know I could get plates the same day! Mark would come back frequently asking if there was anything I needed (sandwiches, coffee, tea) which was nice. I did not expect this level of customer service at a car dealership. Finally, Mark went over all the features my vehicle which overwhelmed me a bit at first, but he was super patient with me and helped me understand everything before I left. I'm super happy with my purchase. Will definitely come back for future vehicle commodities! Thanks again to Eric, Mark, and Paragon Honda!

I was referred by a frIend to go to Paragon and am glad that I did. Fernando Urdininea was a pleasure to deal with. I don't know anyone that actually likes going through the whole car buying thing, including myself. He made it as smooth and easy as possible. The dealership and Fernando are highly recommended. I got what I wanted and am satisfied with how the whole process went. I'll be writing another review once I start coming in for service as well.

We dealt with Haitham who was straightforward yet patient throughout the entire process. He treated us as if we were family and did his best to put us in a new car without breaking the bank. Paragon Honda as a whole has a positive atmosphere and their friendliness and professionalism led us to buying a car that wasn't even near the top of our wishlist when we began shopping around. If you're looking for a new car, this is a dealer you should definitely make a stop at.

While taking my car for a regular tire rotation and oil change, there was a problem with the car tire. It got damaged on the side. Which mens in can not be repaired. Went back and explain my case to management (Mr. Anthony Petito) and following day after they had reviewed my case, I got a replaced tire which made me very happy.Mr. Petito was not only friendly but very professional as well. Thank you very much for your help Mr. Petito. Few times I have being approached by a well dress people like you, while I am in my construction cloths and received the attention I had got from you. Perhaps you were focused on my problem, not on my appearance.Good job Sir!

We had test driven and negotiated several offers already so we came in ready to buy, cash in hand, and wanted to know if they can beat a nearby dealer's price I just got. He was our greeter so we sat down with him. He apparently wanted to train his apprentice and sat him with us. He had a superior attitude as if he knew all there was, and insisted on qualifying me, asking numerous unrelated questions and asking what I would pay, and telling me the other dealers was tricking me with a low ball offer, sure to be increased. Im not sure what kind of suckers he thought he was dealing with but it was a huge waste of time as his best offer was at the bottom of several dealers (he took time to check). We gave him many chances to stop playing his script and games but he always went back. At the end, it was obvious he wasn't serious or didnt care. At other dealerships, it took usually less than an hour to get to the bottom line offer, here we wasted several hours with this guy just to find they cant even get close to a competitive offer.

He possess excellent skills for customers support along with an outstanding interpersonal communication, which made me feel in a friendly environment. I would highly recommend him for future buys among my friends. Again, he has excellent customer assistance, quality support, a proper and fresh pitch to sell and to negotiate prices and over all, the availability to assist the customers.

I just wanted to say thank you, for all the help and great customer service that was provided at paragon honda. The salesman that assisted me was William he was really informative and answered all my questions and I purchased the 2014 civic hybrid. Miles gave me the demo on the car and he really went above and beyond to make sure I know everything I needed to about my new car. I came back to get a lo jack instead a few weeks later and my tire pressure sign came on and even then Miles helped me right away and I took my car to service but it turned out to be a minor error. Overalll my experience at Paragon Honda has been nothing less then awesome! Thank you to Miles, William and MD truly appreciate everything. -Fatima

I was looking for a certified car and found a great car at a great price at Paragon Honda. This was an awesome experience to buy from that dealership. Not only the friendliness of staff ZEESHAN and others whom i could talk not only in english but also in local language, i was explained all of the smallest detail of the car which comforted me in buying the car. Secondly, all of the car that i had seen to other dealers, comes as is meaning having any dent etc and whereas at Paragon, when i noticed very small scratch (which easily can be ignored), Zeeshan spoke to his manager Mike and they took this extra pain in removing those small scratches free of charge and making the car like brand new. Later when i missed one part which normally doesn't come in used car, they were humble enough in saying that although it doesn't come with pre-owned however they will fix that for me, once again, No Charge to me. This is one of the excellent customer service and no doubt why Paragon Honda is Number one in the world.Thanks a lot ZEESHAN and Mike for going this extra mile for the customer. I will surely let all my friends know about this and make sure to give at least one visit to Paragon Honda before finalizing the deal.

It is the 2nd Honda that we bought from Paragon and we requested the same sales person, Stanley Liberato. Stanley's Customer Service attitude is outstanding and he really know his cars. Out car was not in Paragon's lot and Stanley drove us to the shopping center in his car where we had lunch while waiting for our car to arrive. For the 2nd time we confirmed that people in Paragon doing above and beyond their job duties. We would strongly recommend Paragon to our friends.

Anthony Garcia was my sales rep and he was great at giving me not only the best price for the new car and my trade-in but also about listing all fees upfront. Their finance dept was also very honest about costs and offering me the best deals on maintenance packages. Overall, an excellent experience.

I've always dreaded having my car worked on. I always feel left in the dark for long periods of time while the mechanics and salespeople walk around as if you don't exist. Most of the time the result has been the same, they come back to you with a bill and double talk, nothing that amounts to much more than "This is what you HAVE to do and you're lucky we are saving you by giving you a "great deal"". I'm savvy enough to know when I'm getting screwed so dread was usually based upon knowing that I was going to have to be a vigilant sentinel ultimately battling in the end to find out the whats, hows and why's.I came to Paragon by way of a friend who swore to me this place was the exception to all those stereotypes. I must say I was skeptical to believe that my cynicism could be overcome however they exceeded my expectations in ways I didn't even think a mechanic's shop could.The shop is clean, waiting room comfortable and the staff operates as if they are more of a family than a business. Everyone was friendly and attentive from the moment I walked in until the moment I left. At one point when waiting, I was actually enjoying being there, sipping good coffee, surfing the internet on their computers and chatting with other customers. We almost forgot why we were there..lol The wait was short and I could see that the reps were constantly back and forth checking on customers when something needed to be explained. My problem was relatively simple, tranny servicing. My rep was thorough and pointed out potential problems with simple explanations as to what they could mean and offered options for handling each. It wasn't my usual experience of getting hit over the head with a hammer knocking all the money from my pockets. Before I left I was stopped briefly by the boss there, Anthony. He seemed very interested in making sure I was happy, which seemed strange at first because usually it seems like service reps/managers can only manage a half-hearted bogus attempt at such but this guy seemed genuine. I got the feeling that he projected this down to his employees and it was very refreshing to see that. It was impressive to see a manager that can create such an environment where all the employees are invested.In the end I couldn't be happier and my only hope is that this starts a trend where more shops are like this one(not that I think I'll be going anywhere else for now on). The industry needs a new attitude and this place fits the bill!

I went in Friday afternoon, had all my documents availabe for the associate to make this the smoothest and quickest sale ever imagined. I went in knowing what I wanted and knew up front, based on my personal sitution, I would be paying more for my trade then what I was currently paying, it was how much more I was willing to pay. I went in wanting a Honda Pilot. Sales Rep, Lucas, very friendly and willing to assist me, gathered all information. I was in a rush, as I had an event I needed to be at Friday by 6:00pm. So i stated I would return the following day at noon to complete the transaction. prior to leaving he offered the Honda CRV as an alternative. thinking I would save a little more based on my trade, I asked him to continue with the Pilot, but run the numbers on the CRV. they seemed favorable for me, 2014, since I was advised by the Manager, there are no incentives on the 2015's. Lucas had a 2014 CRV on the lot, which i didnt care for due to blemish on the hood. He stated he would have another one for right away. I was there Friday, close to two hoiurs and Saturday, waited for the vehicle for 6 hours!!!!!!! UNACCEPATABLE! no offer's where made to me to compensate for my time, I was at work and left, thinking this wwas a quick in and out, perhaps two hours tops! all documents had already been provided. I finally left with the CRV, starving and loss a day of work! realizing after my anger subsided, what had transpired I called Lucas and advised him this was a Sh.....y deal. I wound up making the almost the same payment as the offered on the 2015 Pilot, on a 2014 CRV. I returned Monday to see what can be done, I was advised that I would be hit with a "Re-Stock" fee and depreciation on the CRV. after four more hours on Monday, and the numbers offered which more far from the first offer made, i just left the dealership. I even brought them the "TrueCar.com quote offered online, which i was informed, they are not able to determine the value of my trade and my credit history. NEVER AGAIN, not even for sservice will I return to this dealership or recommend anyone to purchase there. How they have the "Tri-State" number one dealer award is beyond me. I guess Honda has very low bench marks!!!! on a posive side, Millford Mills, did all possible to help me, but the Sales Manager, Ariel, advised him he would only go but so far. Ariels main concern was to make me aware "They did all they could" which was not true at all. Lesson learned, and life goes on. my purchase will not make you richer or poorer but for the next guy, be aware of my experience. take care.

Went to by a new accord test drove a car agreed to a deal for a 2015. They told us to come back the car they had ready was a 2014 they wanted the deal done that night (no insurance?). We said we wanted to return after the car was properly prepped and we had time to get the insurance card in hand. Returned the next day with our insurance but when we got to look at the car in the daylight it had numerous scratches on the side under the drivers door. We stated we would not accept this car. We were told that in 4 days they would have the car we wanted year, color, trim level etc.. 4 days later they tried to pawn off a different color car. DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE THEY LIE.

I cannot vouch for the Paragon Honda dealership as a whole. However, Fernando was great! We arrived knowing exactly what we wanted and how much we were willing to pay for it - he made the deal happen. He was very friendly and guided us through the entire process very professionally. If you find yourself coming to this dealership, do yourself a favor and ask for Fernando.

Came into paragon to trade in my current car, my current car has a payoff of 16,000 they offered me 11500 for my trade in, which leaves me with a negative equity of 4500 which should be rolled over to the new car.The new car i wanted was a little over 28,000 after taxes and other fees. They then subtracted my trade in value 11,500 to the new car, this left me at 16,500 for the new car . Not only did they roll over the 4500$, but they also sneaked my "WHOLE " current payoff amount on top of the 21,000$ Not only did they try to steal my current car they also tried making me pay for both cars by re-adding my payoff amount ,when they already had deducted the trade in of 11500, everything on the buy order came out to 36,000 some how which makes no sense , keep in mind thats the principal alone!!!! they also said i would be paying around 700$ monthly payment including the interest with a 10% APR !!!!.bunch of crooks, after bringing my business back to paragon, this is how you treat your returning customers ?the finance team are scammers they lie to your face and say your credit is horrible when in reality its average .Oh and did i mention im only 19? perfect opportunity all they needed was a signature .

I would like to say these guys are great guys who are efficient and don't beat around the bush and waste your time. Both guys should be promoted to the next level. My name is Frank B. and I helped my brother in-law Paul purchase a 2014 Honda CR-V. The car was everything we expected and Paul's lease return went smooth. There was a small discrepancy on the invoice but nothing big. Justin agreed to make it right but Paul and I let it go because the whole experience was great and no one is perfect. They get back to you immediately, are very professional and answered all our question. Even Nadia the receptionist was one of the better receptionists I ever dealt with. I would buy from them again and would recommend them to my own family. Good hard working people!!

Had a great experience getting my Honda Fit 2015. Had to wait a couple of days to receive the car, but Mr Urdininea was very attentive during that time. I got a great deal and I am very happy with my car. Thanks again to Fernando Urdininea at Paragon Honda.

I went in for a simple oil change. While sitting in the waiting area, a sales person asked me to his area to talk an about the Vehicle Exchange Program. He told me my lease is almost up and they can help get me into a new car today. I was willing to listen and they spend a good amount of time talking about getting me a new car. They sent me out to test drive the newest model. They passed me around a few times to speak to different people. I ended up with a finance guy and gave me the pitch. I was a little overwhelmed by how quick the process took. They did a credit check and told me I have excellent credit, but did not give me the best rate since I did not plan to put a gigantic deposit nor did I want an extremely high monthly rate. The monthly payment was provided, but it did not show what I paid for. That pricing was glanced over. The idea of leaving the dealership with a new car was enticing. Suffice to say, I ended up with a new car, but not until the extended warranty was added (which was $1000 more than I could have gotten elsewhere, and some kind of tire protection warranty for $800 more. Since the price was all bundled into monthly payments, I did not figure that out until I got home. My advice, buyers beware. Too many slick talking sales people there. I felt they kept me waiting in the waiting room to put the pressure on.

I'm a little late BUT I went to Paragon Honda because my 2000 Honda Accord have a blown transmission. My mother bought form Paragon Acura about 2 years before so I thought that because we are returning customers they would treat us better. So, I go into Paragon Honda, I get greeted by 4 different sharks. I typically went in there to see what my options would be on A BASE MODEL CIVIC nothing fancy at all I just needed a car. I asked a salesperson if I am able to see the vehicle I wanted because there was no civics on the showroom floor. So he asks me if I wanted an Si I said no, just a regular civic. He comes out with an EX-L civic coupe to get me mentally on that vehicle. I drive the car and its great but I did NOT want leather. I go back inside with the salesperson he gets me numbers and I told him from the beginning I'm not looking to buy today I just want to see what my options are. He gives me a 336 payment. I said no. I can only afford a 250-300 payment the most I would do is 315. I'm a 20 year old girl, no credit, I had my father to cosign with me. So I told him i dont need anything fancy and he kept pushing me to get into the EX-L that I drove. He gave me a 336 payment for the vehicle i did not want. not only that but it was black and i wanted white. he told me what would make you buy a vehicle today. I told him nothing because I was waiting on a 3500 check, he still pushed me and at this point I felt as if i needed to make a deal bc of how much he was pushing me and my father. we said yes to a 336 payment. we go into finance, the stupid finance manager decided to give us a 482 payment!!!!!! 482 - 4-8-2 ON A FREAKIN CIVIC!!!! i could have a bmw 3 series for 300. A year later, I go into my contract and I see that they added lojack, and extended warrenty on a lease, and honda care....5-6 grand of extras I did not need. this salesperson is still using the money he made off of me a year and a half ago. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DEALERSHIP TO ANYONE THEY WILL SCREW YOU. and if you do decide to make a deal here, I highly suggest over reading your contract before signing and ask as many questions as possible.

This is an updated review. Our first visit will soon be forgotten since we love our new 2012 Honda Pilot. We traveled about 4 hours since Paragon's pricing and selection is the best I could find anywhere online. Unfortunately it was not realized right away the one we liked due to the low miles and price, was not out of the shop yet. They were up front calling us once it was discovered, but since we had already left, we decided to see what else they had anyway.Our trade in car was cleared the day before by our mechanic, but to our bad luck it started acting up just before we arrived and the CEL came on once there. We did not quite love what was available on the lot but felt stuck with no car which now couldn't get us much trade in value anymore. Having a little one getting very tired added stress as well.We left with a good value, but being a 2011, we just missed some of those 2012 upgrades. Paragon contacted us to follow up, and upon learning we weren't quite satisfied, they offered to take the 2011 back and find us a 2012. They were very helpful and understanding taking my emails and several calls to ensure 2 Pilots would be ready to decide on and take one home since the paper work takes a long time, and being out of state adds to it.The original silver one we really wanted was finally ready for sale. Mike was again straightforward disclosing it had more damage repair than the other one that he liked much better. Hesitant on a white vehicle, I checked it out. Mike was dead on. It was as perfect as one could hope in a used car. Very clean and drove amazingly. Love the upgrades all around.Paper work still took time though. PA insurance covers your new car until you update your policy. But if traveling to NY, make sure you notify your agent you will need them to provide a new card with your new vehicle before finishing other paperwork. Fax wasn't going through, so they emailed it to me to print there. And their inventory changes quickly. Make sure they have the one you want ready before you head out.Thanks again Paragon for making everything right and taking care of us.

I was actually coming to check out a car at the dealer next door to paragon acura on 48st and was greeted by the manager Zeeshan who took me in to paragon acura and introduced me to Sumail khan or Sammy who with the help of zeeshan made sure me and my wife got a great deal and a memorable experience worth remembering. I will recommend this dealership to any who is looking for a car and go and speak with zeeshan and Sammy and get the same wonderful experience I had with my family. I give the dealership a 20 out of 10 because of my wonderful sales team, Sammy was very helpful always smiling and made us feel very comfortable and made sure everything was taken care of and we left with a smile on our face.

They give a great family feeling and their personal touch is second to none. They worked great with my particular financial situation as well as my unordinary registration requirements. I truely feel as though I can stop in any time and ask a question and they would jump at the occasion to help me. Their product is exactly what is described and their were no hidden costs.

I'm not one to post bad reviews but when you take 6K out of my pocket in cash and sell me a lemon for a car not okay. I had to get the car not only serviced at Paragon but within 6 MONTHS of buying my Malibu I now I have to junk it because of the lack of inspection done on the vehicle. Sold it with bad tires, non working head lights and now engine is done for. Not only has Paragon wasted my money but also my time. They almost costed my life yesterday on the highway selling mean unreliable vehicle. Take it from me and NEVER buy a used car from Paragon!

I went to this dealer to buy a certified used car today. We went from Connecticut, took an appointment for 2PM. We decided on which car we have to buy as we looked that car on their website. We went there travelling all the way from CT. We also carried a address proof verification which is our electricity bill, 2 forms of ID just in case if they ask during financial loan. We thought we will come back with the car. When we went there no one greeted we were standing for 10 minutes while so many other sales men were sitting at their desks staring at us not even asking us if we need any help. Then later one woman asked us if we were being helped and when we said "No" she assigned us to a sales man called Syeed. Then we told him which car we want by showing it in our phone. He says "This car is in the warehouse and not here and to come back tomorrow" after he knows we drove all the way from CT. THen we asked him if you have any other cars in that price and he showed us another car with a higher mileage. We saw a car for 26000 mileage at 15000 dollars and he showed us a car at the same price which is at 44000 mileage which is almost double the mileage. Then my husband showed him the various cars they have on their website which are in 14000 dollars for 26000 mileage. He says all those cars sold out yesterday and the website is not updated. I could not understand how could 20 cars on the website be sold out on 1 day and how irresponsible they are without updating the website. Then we were asking him how much is the financing APR and he says 4.99 where we asked him if there is any less APR. We also told him that we got a BMW for 0.9%APR and our credit rating is good and if he could give any low APR. Then he says why cant you buy a BMW rather than Honda. I don't understand why he wants to decide our choice. He giving us choices instead of showing his cars which I felt very unprofessional. He knows that we came all the way from CT wasting GAS and tolls and did not give us an encouragement to buy a car. Finally we felt their website is fraud and what ever they are mentioning in the site are fraud and they are just mentioning like that to attract customers. Especially Syeed is been very unprofessional and I would recommend not to go to this sales person again. I will never ever go to this showroom again and I will not recommend anyone again. This showroom is only for people who have bad credit to build up their credit but people who have good credit and can afford to buy a car this is not the showroom at all. VERY BAD VERY BAD VERY BAD.

So i decided i was gonna lease a new car for my birthday this year and my brother in law told me to head over to Paragon Honda because not only did they have great deals on leases but that a guy by the name of Jason was a good help and didnt come off as one of those hustle you kinda guys who are just interested in making a sale and not the best interest of the consumer. I head in and was greeted by Jason and instantly felt comfy, he was very friendly and again not in the let me be nice to this guy to get his money kinda way but in a hey old friend hows it going long time no see lets hook you up kinda way, anyway i was shown the two cars i asked about which were the Accord Ex and The Accord Sport when asked on his opinion of the two cars Jason first asked "well what are you driving now?" i told him what car it was ( camry xle) and he based his opinions off that i feel as tho he understood my want for a vehicle with alot of features but also understood i wanted a better drive after some deliberating we both came to the conclusion that the Sport was best for me. When i asked a question Jason had the answer and then some. He even hit me things i didnt even know to ask so i was very impressed. Best thing about it all was that he was very attentive at no time after making the sale did he just leave me sitting around he kept conversation with me on current events and music which was cool because the paperwork was taking time and i would have died of boredom. All in all i would highly recommend anyone visit paragon but i would also recommend you go see Jason! That guy gets it!

I am not one to usually post, in fact - I never do. but the service we received today was worth talking about.Jason Liang worked with us from start to finish - making sure not only that the deal was done - but that it was done the way that would make us happy. They worked with us on the price and when we, at the last second, decided to switch to a more expensive trim, he did not flinch to go back to the drawing board with us and get us the price WE wanted. No matter the time spent. He worked his xxx off and even brought the car back to our home since i had to drive to old car back. There was not a second of BS. Never "oh no we cant do that for you". no... it was "I will try my best." and he did.the rest of the staff was attentive, polite and personable. High marks all around guys - this is exactly how you run a successful business.i guess this is my first post :) do i get to ring the bell on this one?

I purchased 2014 Honda CRV last week(July 2nd) from Paragon Honda. The SUV's roof had a problem and water was leaking from the rear passenger Seat belt pillars which i figured out during the next day thunder storm. I immediately called up the showroom, Spoke to Sales Person Diago, and explained the problem. He listened very patiently and asked me to drop the car at the showroom. Next day, I got a call from him saying they have identified weak spot in the roof that caused the leakage, offered to take back this car and get a new one. I agreed and took a new one.. Everything went well.. No hassles.. Great experience and service support !! I Thank Diago and his Manager for offering the replacement.

My girlfriend got her car a year ago from Paragon Honda, And lately, I was looking around for cars for couple months and got nothing in idea, She recommended me to check out Paragon Honda, I found a very nice Accord Coupe V6. The car literally just got in the few days ago, and we just loved it. I think they have the best price with such nice condition(it's an used car).We had Sultan Haseq to assist us. He is a very friendly and funny guy. We were very happy to get a car in this dealership. Will definitely recommend my friends to check their inventory out. Oh one more thing, you get $100 for referring friends if you are a returning customer. My girlfriend is happy. :)

Walked in to Paragon Honda and was greeted by the manager with a welcome and friendly hand shake. He escorted us to a sales person Kevin Milan. I found Kevin to be friendly and Knowledgable. Being first time leasers, we were a little nervous. He put us at ease with his explanation of the process.We left that day with a good idea of the cost and financing options we had available. After visiting several other dealerships in the area, we came back to Paragon Honda the next morning. We were greeted at the door and escorted to salesman Haitham Elkholi. Haitham was also friendly and very knowledgable. We mentioned we saw Kevin yesterday and told him what we discussed. He picked up where we left off and every thing we verbally agreed to was still in place. Haitham explained every detail of the sale, taxes, fee's insurance etc. He made us feel at ease and confident that we had made right decision coming to Paragon. Delivery coordinator Evelin Sanchez walked us through every aspect of the vehicles controls. She helped us sync phones to the vehicle and showed how to use every control on the dash. She was a walking, talking owners manual. They all made leasing our 2014 CRV a great experience.

So I decided to come to paragon Honda after my cousin recommended this dealership and let me tell you what a great experience i had. As soon as i came into the premises i was greeted by this friendly and knowledgeable guy, Mr. Juan Arias and i have to say that this guy is the friendliest most honest sales associate i have dealt with. Very educated and informative, a solid 10 in my book. The finance manager Mr. Matt was very professional and quick, he was able to approve me for the top of the line Accord with less than perfect credit at a reasonable APR. To end this review i also have to mention Ms. Evelin Sanchez the delivery coordinator, this girl is the funniest and nicest girl i have ever seen at a dealership and trust me i've been around. While signing the papers she walked me thru every step and explained everything before i signed. Thank you paragon for my new car and i will definitely recommend it to all i know.

Worked with Jason Liang at Paragon Honda. Overall a professional and positive experience. Was able to quickly negotiate the lease we wanted and was able to avoid a lot of the back and forth. Once we made the deal, Jason took great care of us and even delivered our car into Manhattan.I went to several dealerships and Paragon was great.

Most dealerships do whatever it takes to keep you in the showroom to get the sale. They gave me no pressure and let me go check out the competition because they knew i wanted to do my own research. When i came back, they never stopped making me feel comfortable about them and my purchase.

Thank You for everything.

I was referred to Juan by a family friend and was not disappointed! His customer service was superb and he was very knowledgeable about all of the vehicles I was interested in. Not only was he incredibly patient with me - I walked in wanting a base model Honda Accord Sedan and walked out with a Civic Coupe EX lol, but was extremely helpful in my securing of insurance for the first time. I highly recommend Juan - he is a top notch car salesman!

I am not the easiest customer....know what I want and like to research. For most sales people it can be an issue but Juan was ready for me. He had the answers before I asked the question. He was no nonsense. Got us great deal from beginning and there was no haggling...well maybe a little on my part. Paragon beat two other dealers prices.... one we brought car from two years ago and other told us if we can get deal offered jump on it. Now we are new owners of a 2014 Pilot EXL and feel like we got best deal possible...enough left over in budget too buy 7 yr/80k extended (which we usually avoid) but felt for the price the protection seemed worth it. I am sending both my sons to Juan when they need to re-lease new cars...what more can I say I am trusting Juan with my sons! Been driving since 1976 have brought several new cars and this was best experience at a car dealership! Thanks Juan!

I was searching for a 2011 Honda Odyssey EX-L and by comparing online prices, I saw Paragon Honda had some of the best prices. I contacted first via e-mail and then phone to arrange an appointment to view and test-drive. When I arrived at the lot, I was immediately greeted by Sultan who was quite courteous and offered to show me the cars. The overall experience was generally positive. I liked that Sultan was relaxed, and did not push on a sales. He offered to show me cars based on my choices and pointed out some ones with low mileage. then I did a quick test drive which was good. In general, I would highly recommend the experience with Sultan. Unlike other salesmen I encountered, he was quite calm, letting me take my time to view things and figure out which car I liked.I should note that Paragon Honda is situated in a very busy neighbourhood and parking is very difficult to find. However, the sales personnel help park in the used car lot which is good. Also, this made test driving more than one car a challenge because several cars need to be re-arranged before you can drive even one out ! I would think this is the main negative which should be addressed. I would have liked to test drive more cars, but it seemed like a very busy madhouse around that time !

I am writing to let you know how happy and pleased we are with my purchase of the Honda Fit. This is the first car I have ever leased and I had the most wonderful experience.My sales person, Leonel Lucas, was such a pleasure to work with. He helped me narrow down the search for the type of car that suited me best without any sales pressure at all. Once my decision was made, he constantly stayed in touch with me and the perfect vehicle was found and at a better price than expected! After I signed the lease he still kept in contact to see how my experience was with the car.I look forward to having the same excellent service when I go back in another three years to pick up my next lease! I recommend Paragon Honda as the only place to buy your Honda from. Leonel is definitely the best and made me so happy to have made the decision I made. He really helped me when I was going through a time in my life that I had no support in making this decision. I am forever grateful to him! You're the best Leonel!Alexis C.

While I admit the circumstances of my previous visit were quite different personally, which is why I guess this experience was that much better. I brought back my 2012 Honda Civic DX, yes I said DX with the after market stereo/DVD system they had installed and they fully purchased it back from me without a problem and put me in a beautiful blue 2014 Honda Accord EX-L. While I walked in for a Pilot, Haitham worked with me in going over the options and safety features of the Pilot EX-L vs the Accord EX-L and while this past winter made me believe it was the way to go, what I ended up walking away with in the Accord is basically nothing lost at all. Haitham was terrific, considerate and very helpful from the moment I walked in to the moment I sat in the car to drive off. And of course Evelin showed me all of my features top to bottom before I drove off and for the second time. She's wonderful and doesn't get enough praise. Thank you once again Paragon and I'll see you the next time!

We were greeted as we were walking towards the building by one of the managers and directed to Haitham immediately. We had a good idea of what we wanted and Haitham was able to get us the price we wanted for a Honda Accord. Carlos was excellent in explaining the financing and the different features that we could add on. Overall it was a great experience and we hope that it continues.

Haitham Elkholi was the agent I met at Honda Paragon. I went there on 2 several occasions because I couldn't quite make up my mind. Each time he was very patient with me and showed me several options until I was happy which was very important to him. He is a great guy who doesn't act like he's making a sale and highly recommended due to his professional attitude.

I was considering a leftover new 2013 Honda. I called Paragon and spoke with Yolanda who gave me a price of $20,800.I then visited Paragon and met with Stanley Liberato who gave me a price that was about $1,200 more than Yolanda's price. Stanley explained that Yolanda's price did not include the applicable fees. Add in sales tax and the out-the-door price ballooned to $23,838.I do not appreciate the price bait-and-switch!The next week I purchased the exact car at another dealership for $20,400, with an out-the-door price of $21,893.

What started off as just browsing ended up with me driving away with my brand new honda accord. I walked into Honda and Haitham was the first to greet me. He walked me over to his desk where he asked me questions about what I was looking for in a car and what I had seen or known about Hondas. As a female white absolutely no knowledge of car lingo, I was very pleased with how well Haitham explained everything to me. He immediately suggested the accord and civic for my needs. Even though I had some push back, he even got me test driving both models. He showed me the features and benefits, and differences in both models. I was very happy to hear that a lot of the features such as rear view camera and Bluetooth are standard in every model. Since it was my first car purchase he was very patient with me and my million and one questions and concerns. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Haitham. Being that I am too in he customer service industry I appreciated the fact that he made me feel like he was a friend rather than a car salesman. Most importantly I am very pleased with my car choice. Honda was the first dealership I visited on the strip and I never even made it to any of the other dealerships I planned on visiting. Looooooooooooove my new car and Most certainly recommend Visiting my new friend, Hiatham.

I purchased a pre-owned certified vehicle from Paragon Honda in New York several years ago. 3 weeks ago, when I attempted to trade in the vehicle at another dealer, I was informed that the vehicle had a salvage title and that it had been reported as a total loss by Carfax in 2009 over a year before I purchased the vehicle from Paragon Honda. I asked Paragon to refund the purchase price since they represented the vehicle as a certified pre-owned vehicle despite the fact the vehicle had experienced extensive repairs that disqualified it from certification. Paragon refused my request and instead Paragon attempted to benefit from me again offering to take my vehicle as a trade-in and sell me one of their new vehicles at a price higher than the price I could have obtained from another dealer. The handling of my complaint by Paragon Honda has been unsympathetic and insensitive.

If any light comes on your dash they will cut wires and claim they were animals who ate them. They have done it to me already so I checked the wires prior to bringing it in. They will throw branches under the hood and claim animals were nesting in your motor. This is their standard practice. Trust me run away from this dealer.

My fiancee and I came into Paragon Honda looking for a reliable car that could work for our personal life but also. mainly, to support our growing business too. The entire team made this big decision an easy one and we drove off the lot with a brand new 2014 CRV. Our business is booming and we are so pleased we have a safe, reliable, and beautiful new car to help us get it done! Thanks to the entire team for making it so easy!

Dear Paragon Honda, just wanted to let you know that you have one heck of an operation. Your service is great, your salesperson was very knowledgeable and helpful with my purchase. When I initially started my day, my intention was to purchase a Toyota Highlander from QUEENSBORO Toyota. But, when I walked into that dealership, I was there browsing the vehicles for over 20 minutes, and not a single salesperson came over to ask if I needed help. I decided to try Paragon Honda, where I was greeted by a friendly salesperson within less than 5 minutes of walking in the door. Bravo Paragon Honda. Your service is excellent.

Our experience with Paragon Honda was excellent. Helen, Ruisdael C. and Hasib S. were extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. We came from Suffolk county to Woodside NY hoping the online price of the vehicle we saw would be the same when we arrived. To our pleasant surprise it was and there were no hidden costs. How often can someone say that? We were even able to negotiate on a price that we were pleased with. We would highly recommend Paragon Honda and their staff. We would definitely go back for any future vehicle purchases. Oh, and don't let the distance deter you. Woodside train station is just blocks away.

I recently purchased a pre-owned vehicle at Paragon Honda and my experience was excellent. Salesperson Monica, general manager Mike and everyone involved were very pleasant to deal with, very attentive, respectful and offered me a great deal. Paragon Honda and Acura websites have a list of pre-owned vehicles in their inventory with photos, technical details, etc, so I suggest you do your homework before stopping by. Take a look at the website, compare the models they offer, prices and then go to Paragon. This is the 3rd time I buy a vehicle at Paragon and for the 3rd time Mike (general manager) proved that they do plain honest business. The price on the website was the price I paid, no tricks and no hidden fees. I totally recommend Paragon!

I was completely satisfied with great service I have received from Paragon Honda during process of buying my new car especially from sales person Maxim Kaflovich. His professionalism starting from our phone conversations, explaining all details helped to make all steps of the sale easy and enjoyable till last moment when I left dealership with new car. Many thanks for good job and wishing other people to have same good service.

The courtesy and professionalism of Haitham Elkholi was outstanding!!! From the moment we met, he put us at ease. There was nohard sell which as you know will make people leave the showroom. Instead, he sat with us, MADE US COMFORTABLE and asked what we were considering and what our needs were. He proceeded to show us first hand what the differences were between the CRV's and showed us each one. Taking time and patience he found exactly what we wanted. As the Kona coffee metallic brown color was not on sight, he had it brought in . During that time all paperwork, insurance information and credit requirements were done. It arrived that afternoon and is perfect. Amanda was then brought to me and showed me the workings of the new CRV . She was remarkable. Pleasant and very thorough. She knows her stuff!Just a note: Think that you should have a Kona Coffee Metallic color car in the showroom. It's beautiful.Our experience here at Woodside still is the best in Queens. This was our second purchase here and we will be back.Thank you so much.Great Job!!!

Sultah Hasaq was my salesman and he was great. He knew his vehicles, and the small differences and options between each one, to help me weigh the pro's and con's between each car. One of the best things about him is his low pressure sales tactics. Honda's pretty much sell themselves, and he seemed to realize that as I never felt any sense of urgency to pull the trigger on any one vehicle. When I noticed the treads on my 2011 CRV which I was interested in were kind of low, he offered to change them out with new ones (with no added cost to me).Thanks Sultan !Cheers,Sean

On my visit to Paragon Honda, I was greeted with quick and courteous service as I walked in the dealership. The employees at Paragon Honda were helpful and continually asked if I needed any extra help. Mike Adovic and Mohammed made every attempt to work with me in selecting the vehicle I was looking for at the price I was looking to pay. Paragon Honda will be the only place I ever purchase another car! Thank you Mike Adovic, Mohammed and Paragon Honda!

Worst expirence ever. I bought 2014 honda accord sport from this so called dealership and i really really regret my purchase. I was betrayed from the person at dealership named SAEED i guess he is the manager. He delivered me a new car without complete set of car matts and without even cleaning the car. When i asked him about it he was like its too late and i can come in tommorow for the service and matts. It was dark out so i couldn't inspect the perfectly. I took the car and went home. Next i found out that front bumper and wheel was damaged and deep scratches on front bonet. I called him right away and since then he is not answering my calls and putting me on long hold. Tried to go there in person but all are same.This is the worst dealership and i would never recomend this to any one.i wish i could undo my decision.Mr. SAEED never calls me back as i left him several voice mails on his cell and messages at dealership.Please every one keep away from this dealership they are totally unproffesional.

Mr. Arias changed my view of car dealers, as before dealing with Mr. Arias I had an unfavorable opinion of them. Mr. Arias is approachable as he works toward meeting your needs without using any of the pressuring techniques that the car dealership industry is known for. He went out of his way to meet my needs, and answer all my questions without hesitation.

I am pleased to say that I worked with Anthony Petito of Paragon Honda, Queens, NY for the purchase of my certified used car, a 2012 honda civic, this past weekend. Anthony along with Leo Bonetti and his team helped me find the right car which we felt comfortable buying. They were most understanding, accomodative, not pushy and went out of their way to find me the right car in all respects including car condition, the right model and most impotantly the price. this is my third Honda, the second purchase from Paragon, and have always had my previous two cars serviced at the Paragon service center over the years and have dealt with Anthony on many occasions in the past, not just this purchase. I must say he is a very gentle, caring, extremely helpful, an understanding person and a thorough Gentleman. It's always been a pleasure dealing with him. Thank you Anthony, Leo and your team.

Then I met david. I was so impressed with his ways of knowing his customers and their needs. I truly appreciate his help and concerns about me and my familys needs. Thank you for all you have done. It's highly appreciated. Arturo Cortez.

This is my 2nd time doing business with Paragon and overall it was very good. I came out with the lowest insurance premium I've ever had, 2 years of free maintenance, a new 2014 CRV, and a happy wife. Solomon has the right personality too; he's wasn't pushy and he was very mellow. A fast or hyper salesman is NOT the way I do things. He was also able to retrieve 2 checks worth $1,000 that I left in a test drive vehicle, he could have easily just pretend to look for it and not help me get it. But he went out of his way to get me back those checks the next day at 10:30 in the morning on a Sunday. Overall, pretty satisfied.

Alex explained clearly all indicated repairs and the reasons why they were necessary. He patiently answered all my questions and described some options. He provided other useful and interesting information about Hondas. He is well informed and easy to talk to. Work was completed in a timely fashion, as promised. A very positive service experience. I have used Paragon Honda Service Dept for about 7 years and I've generally been satisfied with their work and their customer service.This is the 3rd survey I've been asked to complete. That's excessive.

The only reason I give 4 stars on experience and customer service is because of the length of time I had to deal with going back and forth on my issue, other than that, in the end my experience turned out great. I started with purchasing a brand new vehicle from White Plains Honda, which had a vibration in the steering wheel and car at highway speeds of an average 60+ on the test drive. After they agreed on the deal to fix the issue I went ahead and purchased the vehicle. They took the car into their service department the very next day and said all that was needed is balancing. The car felt a little better, yet the issue was not eliminated. The vibrating continued. Long story short, I was back and forth and back and forth for 6 months with this issue wondering why they didnt just replace the wheels already, as I requested, instead of trying to repair them over and over again. White Plains seemed as they were beating around the bush.FINALLY, I get a chance to address my concerns to the dealership manager Brian, and he has me get assisted directly by Anthony Petito at Paragon Honda service. For some reason he is the only one who made perfect sense. He believed, why keep putting a band-aid on it when you can just replace the wheels, which is exactly what I was thinking. He was very understanding in the fact that it is a brand new vehicle and that the issue will be completely be resolved if they just replace the wheels for me. They ordered the parts and no more than a couple days later I was able to go back and have the wheels replaced for brand new ones out of the box. He had the technician named Kenny test-drive my car before replacing the wheels. Kenny was also great! While others test-drove the car making me feel like I was imagining the vibration, he immediately was able to tell there was a problem with the wheels even before hitting 60mph. You can tell this guy knows what hes doing. He even noticed when breaking that there was also slight vibration and replaced the breaks for me as well free of charge! From now on I will just deal with Anthony and Kenny for maintenance and issues with my Honda. For now my problems are all fixed!

I have to admit that purchasing a car at Paragon Honda with sales professionals such as yours was one of the most gratifying experiences I have had. Monica took her time and was patient - to be sure I got the right car for my needs. She kept me updated on the status of the delivery of the vehicle every step of the way. The General Manager, Mike was a pleasure to deal with as well. I never felt pressured. He was actually on his way home for the night when I walked into Paragon at the beginning of a strong snow storm and didn't hesitate to take off his coat and assist me for over an hour. He took me through the financial contract with expert care and professionalism. I can honestly say that although we live closer to another Honda dealership, I would not hesitate to return to Paragon Honda to purchase another vehicle in the future. They made my purchase pleasant, not the hard sell feeling like other dealerships. Thank you for a wonderful deal and experience!!

I have been bringing my 2003 Honda Accord here ever since the day I purchased it from them. Service has always been outstanding, I always drive away extremely satisfied with a happy smile. Today my service was above and beyond (oil change plus/inspection/detail vehice), My 10 year old car looked, smelled, and drove like I just purchased a brand new car. The detailing even removed milk stains that I thought would never come out. Yet again another wonderful experience!

The dealership offered a very good internet purchase price so I visited them. The negotiations for my trade in went normally at first with the salesperson going back and forth to management for pricing. No problem - normal course of events at a dealership. The salesperson returned from his discussions with management and offered a compromise price between what I asked for and what the dealership wanted. I accepted the price. He indicated that if the car checked out on a lift tomorrow I could pick up the new vehicle. We then completed the contract which he marked "customer offer" or something like that and went for management signature. He returned indicating their price for the trade would be considerably lower. I believe that this dealer's ratings are less than many other dealers for good reason.

We looked around our parking lot at our apartment building and saw several Honda's parked there. Almost everyone of them had a Paragon Honda plate frame. We walked into Paragon Honda and we were met by Fernando Urdininea who gave us his undivided attention. He met us where we were at in terms of what we were looking for in an automobile, answered all of our concerns and brought us up to date on the most recent technology. The customer services was outstanding and we were on our test drive in a very short period of time and within 3 days we had our new car. Thank you Fernando, Gary and Rachel of Paragon for helping us achieve our goal. Customer service was great because were provided with information and answers to our questions. Friendliness was quite apparent in the greetings we received. . We would certainly recommend Paragon Honda to family and friends.

WOW, I am really glad I didn't read these reviews before buying my car today! I'm a big researcher, and ironically after hours of looking at other places, this dealership popped up last minute on a Cars.com search when another dealer didn't work out. We worked with Hasib and Ruisdel, and both of them were GREAT. Even Muhammad our finance guy was collegial, clear, and didn't come off as a shady hustler. We didn't get the car we went for because it sold the day before, but Hasib gave us the same price on the exact same car in a color we actually preferred over the original car. I have no problem sharing that I REALLY hate car dealerships, and in a general sense, all of their employees. I've never had a good experience at car dealerships, and today I spent around 3 hours on a late Saturday afternoon at Paragon Honda and didn't get frustrated or angry once. If you've ever purchased a car before, then you know that's a miracle. It helped that I had secured financing beforehand, walked in with a good estimate on the value of my trade-in, and a good idea of how much the Civic I wanted was worth. Basically I was informed, and I feel like I got a decent deal at Paragon. I've had MUCH more painful experiences at dealerships. I walked away from this one feeling good.**I should say that I wasn't expecting much at first; since when we walked up to the Used Car lot there was a small gang of suited men looking very hungry, not smiling, and just this side of treacherous. I was very happy that my fears were unrealized and it all worked out. Getting a free tank of gas might be standard for some dealerships but I was pleasantly surprised by the gas vouchers Ruisdel and Hasib gave us at the end of the purchase. I really liked them both.

Never in all my years have I received and appreciated such great service. He answered all my many questions and was able to work out a deal that would work great with my budget. The entire staff was incredible. I'm still in awwwww.... Thank you. I'm looking forward to the day I get to come back to purchase my 2nd car. I couldn't imagine ever going anywhere else. The entire staff feel and works like a family.

How long does it take to get an oil change from this place for a 2013 accord? Well maybe 2hrs or more..Hey Brian B ..please have a designated lift for an oil change..just imagine fast service that can generate more people ..happy people brings more people..if I knew it would take this long I would have gone somewhere..or maybe mr.Brian is detach to his service area..it's a freaking oil change ..!!!

The best car dealer that iv'e ever made business with was Juan Arias. when i first arrived he made me feel right at home. I was in paragon after closing and Juan was running around to other dealers trying to find me plates for the car, "that's what i call dedication". My over all experience with Juan and Paragon was excellent. I will definitely go back there for my third card , first and second car were purchased at PARAGON HONDA AT WOODSIDE.

After having had great experiences at Paragon Honda I returned on Wed evening Nov 6 to lease another car.First and foremost is your General Manager Justin Hili. He is by far the most caring, friendly, smart, helpful,personable employee of a car company I have ever met. I have had many Honda's. This will be my third with Paragon.He turned me over to Kevin Milan who as a wonderful way of treating his customer. I thoroughly enjoyed having Kevin takecare of me. Employees as Justin & Kevin make Paragon Honda what it is today.My heartfelt thanks to everyone including Evelin who is a sweetheart. When I pickup the car I know she will review the bluetooth and navigation system in case I forgot how to set it up. Roberta Trager

Came in with my family, looking to buy a CRV. We wanted to know about the different options, prices, and test drive the cars. From the very beginning we felt very comfortable, everyone was very nice and welcoming. Juan took care of us, we told him what car we were interested in and he right away, gave us all the facts. Any question we had, he explained everything very clearly and was very patience. Coming in I thought it would be a lot more stressful trying to figure out what the best options were between leasing and buying but Juan was wonderful helping us out during the process. We didn't feel any pressure at all. We left with a brand new car, and we love it!

I was the first customer of the day. I knew the car I wanted which at the time was not on the lot. Nevertheless Joanne and manager Hsibb located it and brought it to me to inspect it. I was literally test driving the car within 30 minutes of walking thru the door. Talk about a sales team !!! I was really impressed on how quick and effortless the whole process was. I got the right car for the right price and took it home the same day. I dont know what more to expect from a dealer. This is the second car purchased from Paragon. Highly recommended !!!

After reading all the reviewsI CANNOT believe that all these people are talking about the same place where I just bought my car! I have to be honest..I was dreading buying a car, the sales games that you have to play to get a good price and all the other nonsense that comes along with it (especially being a woman). but I actually had a great experience. I recently purchased a new Honda Accord and was lucky enough to have had worked directly with the Manager Justin Hili. I had done my homework and found it refreshing that he was not trying to get over on me. He was honest, relatable and extremely knowledgeable about the car. I could tell that he has been selling cars for a long time. He had the car I wanted in stock but also offered me other choices so that I could make the best decision.I did end up going with my first choice though ;-). Once I bought the car, he made sure that I was set up with the finance person. I was able to pick the car up the next day. I was able to get the car i wanted and enjoy it with none of the added stress.

Fernando was incredibly helpful. He showed us the car we wanted, and took us on a long test drive, so we could get a great feel for the car. He listened to our individual concerns, and gave us very helpful information. When it came time to deal with the price, he was honest with us and helped us put together a deal that we were very happy with. Definitely recommend!

I came to do drive test and find out price the can offer me,i went to website made appointment confirmed time came on time was waiting to give them my information,i was looking to drive accord ex after i was told that i can test drive anything i want i was put to ex-l v6 without even telling me,only at the end of the drive test i realized that i am driving V6 the even when i was driving and asking salesperson that how come 4 cylinder car riding with so much power he did not tell me. When test was done we were in a hurry so i asked Ariel to sent me price by email and he assured me that he will send it to me next day. 1. i wasted my time and did not test drive car i wanted 2. now after all week i did not get price from that sales manager (still do not understand how complicated that if he was ready to sent it in 15 minutes)3. i asked them not to send me any Junk mail to my email and now i am getting it4. i also got few emails to call them and Share my experience and i really try to use those numbers i tried few timed during work hours (at least 4) and only thing i get voice mail. i liked the car but do you think i will ever go to that place no way there are lots of other places to get it. and they actually showed me they they do not really care anyway.

I purchased a 2011 Honda CRV from Paragon Motors on June 30, 2013. After agreeing to purchase the vehicle, I met with their finance representative, Alan Gensler to discuss my financing options. Mr. Gensler presented 2 options. One option was a 3rd party lender, with an interest rate above 9%. The other option was Honda financing, with an interest rate of 5.34%.Mr. Gensler explained that in order to choose the financing with the lower rate, I was required to purchase the Honda Care extended warranty, at a cost of $4000. He then went into detail about the benefits of the coverage. I told him that I wasn't interested in financing an additional $4000 in order to purchase a car. He acknowledged my concern, and told me that he would remove the 'credit protection' from the warranty, and that the cost of the warranty would be $2400 instead of $4000.I was still not happy about being required to purchase a warranty that I had no interest in and told him that. He explained that after 3 months, I would be free to cancel the warranty if I chose, but that I would have to return to the dealership in order to do it. He explained that the balance of the 5 year warranty would be cancelled and that a pro-rated refund would be applied to the principal on my loan. While still not excited about that option - it's the one I chose since I would essentially end up paying for only 3 months of the warranty after cancelling it. That's the option that I went with.I returned to Paragon Motors on September 20, 2013 and met with Mr. Gensler again, explaining to him that I was there to cancel my Honda Care warranty. The first question that he asked me was if my loan was paid off. When I told him that it wasn't - he explained that I could not cancel the warranty. He told me that the warranty could not be cancelled as long as there was a balance on my loan. I told him that this was not the information that he gave me when my wife and I purchased our car, and reiterated to him what I explained above. Mr. Gensler insisted that we must have misunderstood, as he prides himself on being a very clear communicator, and that he would never explain to any customer what I just outlined. After some back and forth, he suggested that I might call Honda directly and see if any exception could be made, and offered to provide me with a cancellation request form. I took the form and looked it over, and pointed out that there was no language on it that suggested this was a request for an exception - that it looked like a standard request to cancel. I also pointed out that the form specifically stated that a cancelled warranty would have funds returned to the balance of the loan if it was still outstanding. Mr. Gensler did not address my point, but offered to take care of submitting the document on my behalf, which I declined. I simply did not trust him at that point.After returning home, I called Honda directly and spoke to them about what I had been told. They provided an email address for me to send the cancellation request, and it was cancelled within 24 hours. The prorated amount remaining($2276) is now being applied to the balance of my loan. Honda corporate also explained to me that, like any other product for sale anywhere, I am able to cancel the warranty at any time, for any reason. They went on to explain that there are no terms of Honda Financing that require the purchase of their extended warranty when financing a vehicle through them.I called Paragon Motors back and spoke to Alan Gensler again - and shared with him what I had learned. He told me that he was happy that Honda was able to clarify that for me. I told him that my concern at that point was how he could so grossly misrepresent their services, intentionally misleading customers. He did not address my remark, and instead asked if there was anything additional he could do to provide assistance. I asked to speak to his manager.Alan put me on the phone with a manager, 'Mike', who also insisted that it must've been a simple miscommunication. He told me that Mr. Gensler thought I was looking to cancel my loan, not the warranty, and that of course the only way to cancel the loan was to pay it off. I told Mike that the conversation Mr. Gensler and I had was very clear, and that his continued insistence that this was a miscommunication only made him complicit in the dishonest tactics of his financial representative.It's now clear after speaking with Honda directly, that Paragon Honda purposely misrepresented the terms of their financing in order to sell me an extended warranty. Warranty purchase is not required in order to finance through Honda. In addition - the warranty may be cancelled by me at any time. After researching online, I found many stories regarding Paragon Motors, many mentioning Mr. Gensler specifically, outlining the same lies and manipulations.My salesperson, Sultan, was great - he knew his inventory and pointed us to several vehicles that met our criteria.Mr. Gensler is a liar and a cheat. If you're planning on purchasing here - bring cash or finance elsewhere. I will never visit this dealership again.

My husband and I went to the service center just to look at the Honda Pilot car colors and Brian Molina was in the lot when we were looking. We had no intention of purchasing a car from this dealer because 2 years ago we had a bad experience with the sales people in this dealership. But Brian explained how this area we were in was a new exchange program department and they don't get commission and they are there to get back customers they lost. I have to tell you how impressed we were with Brian Molina, and Jason Quaies handling our trade in of our Honda pilot 2011 for the new honda pilot touring 2013. I was able to get the color I wanted and the price I wanted to pay. We told them the price we wanted to pay that we got from a dealer in Massachusetts where we got our 2011 pilot because your dealership wouldn't match the price back then and the sales people were so aggressive and obnoxious that's why we did not buy a car from them. Well they actually gave it to us and made the whole transaction so easy that we were able to get our car the same day. That new honda exchange program department you have is a great asset all the employees there were so friendly and nice. I can't say it enough how very pleased I am with the service I got from Brian Molina and Jason Quaies and even Amanda who showed us the new features on the car that was so helpful. Because of Brian and Jason working with us we were able to get our honda pilot from them and not have to travel to Massachusetts and get our deal that we wanted they match that dealers $ and went above and beyond of what we wanted. I am so happy and I love my new pilot!!! I will send all my friends and family to these guys!!!

Decided to buy my first Honda since they were so highly recommended by a few friends. Thought about getting a used car but leasing seemed to be the way to go. At the Honda service center, Jean helped me make the best decision for me at the time and had my best interest in mind. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you are interested in buying or leasing a car. Three weeks in and I love my new Honda. It is the perfect car for me. Great customer service and extremely friendly sales reps.

If you want to die in a car accident, Paragon Honda is the place for you. Their used cars are dangerous pieces of junk that should have been junked instead of being put up for sale. They tried to hide the fact that the vehicle I was considering was actually an unsalvageable mess. I showed up with the best of intentions and ready to buy immediately but I RAN FOR MY LIFE instead. They had no problem putting me in harm's way by trying to sell me an unsafe piece of garbage. Who are these people? How do they get out of bed in the morning? Save your life and STAY AWAY! Buying a used car from Paragon Honda is the nightmare we are all afraid of. They represent the WORST of used car dealers.

After working with AJ and the staff at Paragon Honda including Camilo they were able to get me into a 2013 CRv for a great price for trading in a lease early. AJ was really friendly and helpful and kept me updated through the whole process. The upgrade from the 2011 to the 2013 is a big one and I am excited to drive it for the next 3 years. I am also grateful to Brian, the manager, for pushing through such a good deal for me.

*This is a follow up post to my previous review titled: My Review Of Paragon Honda, made on July 27, 2013. This was the review[I had gone to this dealership to get a trade in offer for my car as well as to check out a vehicle they had listed on their website. The problems started when they gave me a trade in value 5K below bluebook. I almost walked out of the dealership at that very moment when the sales rep AJ said that he can work to get me a higher trade in value. However, the result was that he tried to get me to buy a new car instead of a used car as I intended. The used car I was looking for had already been sold according to AJ. The price offered on the new vehicle was well above what I wanted to spend, and I was made to wait for hours at the dealership. The worst part was that he would go help other people while I waited. Several things comes to mind when I think back to the experience there. You feel pressured from the moment numbers are offered. They will give you the lowest trade in value possible and push you to buy/lease something THEY want you to get. What you want is only a gauge to see how far you can be pushed. Worst of all, they make you wait hours throughout this process. My time there was long, frustrating and miserable. In the end, I did not buy from this dealership. They lost my business and I cannot be happier about that.]Two days after this was posted (July 29), I had gotten a response from Evis Hasanaj, Client Relations Manager, saying that she was sorry my experience at Paragon did not go well and to please call her in hopes of coming to a solution. After reading other reviews, however, I noticed that it was a very generic reply to all other negative postings. So my response was that if they were serious about customer service, they would be the ones to call me. To my pleasant surprise, Evis called me up the very same day. She was very nice and assured me that my message will be carried over to upper management. Other than that, there was not much else she can do because I had already purchased a vehicle from another dealership. At that point, I felt that I had reflected on my experience at the right place and to the right people, and my contact with Paragon Honda is finished. Fast forward 9 days later (Aug 7), I got a call from A.J. (the sales rep.) demanding a chance to explain himself. Without getting into details, his explanation did not change one bit with a brief apology for making me wait so long. The most shocking part was when he stated that he felt I should understand the situation before putting up slanderous material and hate posts. This statement was repeated several times. Judging by his tone, it was obvious the direction where this conversation is headed. I promptly thanked him for his phone call and hung up the phone. I couldnt believe what had happened! It felt as if AJ had called me up to teach me a lesson!I immediately called up Brian Benstock (General Manager), explained everything that had happened, and told him that I really did not appreciate one of the sales reps calling me up in that manner. Brain pulled up my review and calmly looked it over. He stated that he did not see any slanderous or hateful material and apologized for AJs call. I guess as a formality, we went over the trade in value of my old vehicle and he explained how the numbers worked. It makes sense but even Brian admitted that 5K below Bluebook value had been a bit low. It did not matter anymore, however, because I had already purchased from another dealership. The conversation with Brain went very well though. He was very calm, very nice, apologized for AJs actions, and stated that he would speak to him. Thinking back, the experience at Paragon Honda remains the absolute worst. The one person that we come in contact with the most when buying a car is the sales representative, and the person I came in contact with had been very aggressive and overly assertive. It still amazes me that he called to have me get my facts straight! I cannot say that all the other sales reps act the same way, because I have spoken to some very professional people there as well. Also my conversations with Evis and Brian had been very positive, but at the end of the day, it had been in the shadows of a very very bad experience. So for anybody else that goes to this dealership, please be aware this might happen to you.

I called paragon Honda to check up on a few cars that I saw on they're website. The girl I spoke over the phone with said the car's were available and gave me an appointment at 3:00pm. I got there on time as soon as I walked into the dealer I noticed some salesman standing around and not one of them even made the effort to even ask me if I needed help, I had to walk inside and ask for help. After finally getting help and speaking to the salesman he made me walk to three lots that they have and the cars that I asked to look at were not even there and they had no clue of where the vehicles were, look's like to me they don t keep an inventory of they're vehicles. After wasting 45 minutes looking for a car I finally found a vehicle that I was interested in. I asked them to do and appraisal on my car for which they ran a car fax and offered me 8,000 due to the fact that an accident came up from a previous owner the manager stated that if the car had no frame damage that they would offer 8,000 for my car and that they just needed to inspect it. I told him I was fine with them inspecting the car and so then they proceeded with the paper work and the inspection. After waiting an hour the sales manager comes back and says that the car needs tires and that it has frame damage and that he could only offer me 5,000 for the car. After hearing his offer I stopped the sale process because I was not going to take no less than 8,000 for my vehicle. After I left Paragon Honda I went to White Plains Honda which I come to find out that its under the same ownership. I did all the paper work at White Plains they told me that they would have to appraise the vehicle and also do and inspection of the vehicle and that if everything came out okay the most they could offer me was 8,000. The salesman came back to me after running the CARFAX and having an inspection of the vehicle done and said that it does come up as it was in an accident but during the inspection they found no severe damage was done...meaning no frame or chassis damage had occurred. So why would the associates at Paragon lie about my car having damages that in didn't. So after being offered 8,000 for my car at White Plains Honda I drove off with a 2011 Honda Accord and had exceptional service. Hats off to the sales associates and manger and White Plains Honda.

I have been taking my car to Paragon Honda for service for about 3 years now. The very first time I went in, I needed to have my left side mirror fixed. When I got my car back, I had a new mirror but it wasn't working correctly. I let the service desk know and Anthony Petito assisted me in getting the work fixed. He was very friendly and personable. He took my car back and fixed the problem. But the way he handled it and has handled my business for the past 3 years is the reason why I keep coming back to Honda. He makes bringing my car in for service a pleasant experience, because in the past it has been something I have always dreaded. I mean, who enjoys taking their car in for service? Anyways, he treats his customers with such kindness and is completely diligent in making sure you are happy with the work. I even moved an hour away and still drive all the way to Queens because I wont take my car anywhere else.

We went to the dealership to ask questions about trading in our Accord and CRV for an Odyssey and left with a brand new car. Our salesperson, Jose Arias was wonderful. He answered all of our questions, understand our needs, and worked to make sure we left happy and satisfied. He was attentive, thoughtful, and professional. While we dealt with paperwork, Camilo Barrientos was kind enough to ask if our needs were being met and offered us refreshments. When person who was responsible for completing the registration paper work was helping another client, Camilo stepped in to help in order to expedite the process. Finally, Gary Lin, the Finance consultant worked with us to get us the best deal possible. He gave us great advice and was understanding when our 2 year old son started to get antsy. Overall, our experience was wonderful. We would definitely recommend Paragon - and especially Jose Arias - to family and friends. A. GelinHollis, NY

I took my 03 Odyssey I'm for servicing on June 22nd and had the pleasure of working with Edwin Chiong and Anthony Petito. As a longtime customer of Paragon, I cannot rave enough about how great their service department is. My service advisor always greets me with a smile and by name. The service manager is always friendly and hospitable. They truly treat you like family. I drive quite a distance and ignore closer dealerships in favor of visiting Paragon for service and repair of my Odyssey. I will continue to work with Anthony and Edwin as they are absolute gentlemen.

My vehicle was actually a trade-in with Paragon Honda Exchange Program which is located at their vehicle servicing station, 57-06 31st Avenue, Woodside, NY 11377. I traded in my 2011 CR-V for a 2013. They were great, I didn't think it would be worth my while to trade in my CR-V this early since I am still financing a good chunk of money. However, Jean the sales rep convince me to sit down and crunch the numbers while I'm waiting for my car that's there for servicing. He did the numbers and I was surprised I could afford to trade in my vehicle for a model that I wanting more. Also, the service with Jean was friendly and I don't feel I'm being pressure for a sale. He took me over to their lot and see if the CR-V I wanted was in stock. He took care of all the paper-works and I meet with Hamid Anwar the finance manager at that location. The man was very pleasant to deal with and friendly personality. Gave me couple of option and advice to understand want type of financing can be done. I traded my old CR-V and drove out same day with a new CR-V. Thank you Jean, Hamid, and everyone at Paragon Honda.

I have been going to Paragon Honda since 2005. I consider this dealership to be the gold standard in value, customer service, and professionalism. I recently purchased a 2013 Pilot. I called in and spoke with the manager Justin Hili and told him what I wanted. I was hoping to complete my purchase in under 3 hours. They traded in my 2010 Pilot and had me driving away in my new Pilot in 1 Hour!! Thank you Paragon Honda,A Loyal Customer

This is my 4th car purchased from this dealership. Even when I moved away from Queens and have other 3 dealerships in LI that are closer to my new home I return to Honda Paragon time and time again. I have purchased from them brand new cars and also certified vehicles. 3 SUVs and 1 sedan. They are fantastic at meeting you where you are and keeping your budget and needs in the forefront. I visited the dealership 3 times before deciding on the specific vehicle. Sean and Ariel were fantastic and worked very hard in finding the right match for my family. Thanks from the heart.

This was my first time purchasing a vehicle so I have no other previous experiences to compare this one with. But everything from the customer service to the pricing was superb. I had placed an order for a Honda Accord Sport and Camilo managed to acquire the car for me within two weeks.When I arrived at the dealership, which was a Paragon Acura dealership, I saw my new car waiting for me on the lot. Camilo proceeded to walk me through the basics of the vehicle. He even went above and beyond by installing wheel locks on my tires because the rims on the car are commonly stolen parts. He also helped me set up the Bluetooth connection in my new car. After all the paperwork was finished, he escorted my family and I to a finance rep (?), Gary Lin, who walked us through all the loans and payments. Overall, it was a very smooth and efficient process and there was minimal stress involved. All the employees were very straightforward with the pricing etc. I would give this place 5 stars and I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

There has been very few occasions where I've ever been as disappointed like I was today. I had such great respect for Paragon Honda. I never once thought about the usual deception to get the customer to come to the dealership and get their information and so forth.Before leaving my home in New Rochelle New York, I got a call from the dealership about the appointment and was assured that the vehicle was available. Upon arrival I asked to see the vehicle first, they checked and confirmed the Stock number with me and asked that I complete the Customer Registration forms and allow the sales representative to copy my license before the test drive. After complying the agent then came over and told me that the vehicle I was interested in was defective but he had another which was better and he would give me at the same price. He took me to the lot and showed me a CRV LX. I immediately told him it was different and pointed out the model features on the EX that were absent. I was told that no EX Model was available. (the vehicle is still on their website)I left the dealership in abject disappointed and despair. I expected poor treatment from a second rate dealer but not from Paragon. To make matters worse, I had come prepared to make the purchase, I had no backup option. I hope I will be shown common courtesy by having a honest and full explanation.

I scheduled an appointment with them at 3PM in advance. I arrived at their company on time and they let me wait for another 45 min. Finally Jack showed up and we test drove a new Honda Accord. After we returned to the office, Jack started to give me pressure. At the beginning, Jack said he could not sell me the car for anything lower than MSRP. I told Jack that Paragon Honda offered a price online, which was much lower than MSRP. Jack then told me that this online price did not include destination fee (about $800). Jack continued to give me much pressure. I told him that I wanted to leave because I was exhausted. But Jack ignored my request and continued to give me pressure. Jack called me crazy. Jack pushed me to sign on some documents. After being insulted by Jack for 2 hours, I decided that I had to leave.After I went home, I found that Jack had lied to me. Jack was dishonest. The online price their company was advertising did include the $800 destination fee, which was also stated clearly in their advertisement. Jack tried to fool me and charge me extra $800 above their advertised price. Jack called me the next day and he did not admit that he had lied to me. I recommend extra caution when dealing with this company. I also highly recommend avoiding Jack in any way.

The rating mentioned above does not do this dealer justice! I am the proud new owner of a 2013 Honda Accord Ex-L (the one with the push start, side view camera, and all that other jazz). This was thus far the greatest quality of customer service I have ever experienced at a car dealer, and I must admit, I have had many! From the moment I walked into the door to the moment I drove in my new car - everything was perfect. Initially I was interested in an Acura so I contacted Stephanie Perez over at Paragon Acura (right across the street) and discussed my options.... No go due to the price. She referred to to Rafael Rodriguez over at Honda. You should definitely try to speak to these two if you have any control over that. My guess is that the other salesmen are just as good but I wouldn't chance it Lol. Anyway, I walked in knowing what vehicle I wanted and that's exactly what I left with a few hours later. Waiting for the finance dept. may take a while due to amount of customers they have but if you're lucky enough to end up with William you can almost guarantee that you will be content with the "magic" which is done. Definitely a top tier dealer that won't try jocking you! Within a week I have referred two people to the dealer and we have all walked out the door with new keys in our hand and very happy with what was worked out. If you're going to go in make sure you have plenty of time and be prepared for the picture you'll take at the dealer prior to leaving (LOOK ON POINT!) Hope this helps others choose Paragon as this will definitely be the ONLY place I'm buying vehicles from. And all the negative posters can just S*#^ it! :)

The Accord is for my college age daughter. Together, we searched online looking in the entire NY metro area and found the best car and price at Paragon Motors. The car was a brand new previous year model. It was late at night, and we then "chatted" by online text with a representative, who verified that the car was available and helped to set up an appointment for the very next day. Michelle, a coordinator, was also really helpful. We met Rafael, the salesperson, and Justine, the manager. They made a superb team together, and the car, a real gem, was ready to drive away the next day. It goes without saying that I have a very happy daughter.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. A few months back I received a letter stating I could trade in my lease early to upgrade my 2011 Honda CRV to the 2013 model for no money down. I thought that was a great deal so I went into the dealership. I was walked through all of the car options and was given a run down of the vehicle. After that I was told to wait while they spent about an hour and a half evaluating my car and putting together the offer. They finally came back to me and said I could take the new car for about $20 more than my current lease payment and I would need to put down around $4,500. That is a far stretch from a car swap as I was contacted to come in about so I very angrily left. He said I shouldn't have believed the ad since everyone gets them, including him. A few sales managers called me about my experience and when I told them they said they would call me back and I never heard back. Fast forward a few months. I was watching tv and saw the national advertisement for the 2013 CRV saying $0 down and no first month payment on the lease. I thought that was awesome and went online to see if there were any early lease exchanges. I got contacted by a sales associate from my chat with an online representative. She called me and told me they were doing an exchange program and that I could continue my lease payments and get the new car. I then called back to verify that this was legitimate because I had been burned before, she assured me and said someone would be reviewing my paperwork and would get back to me. I was then later called back by the same associate who had helped me the first time. He said things would be different this time because my car was more than half way through the lease. Given that I decided to go in and change cars. After about an hour of the appraisal of my car and the test drive I was told that if I wanted the new car it would be $3,000, or if I wanted to put only $1,500 down I could pay $50 more a month in lease payments. I was duped again. I took my keys and left. I later contacted the manager that same night as well as received a call from a customer service rep about my experience. Both told me they would call back and I am still waiting, although I won't hold my breath this time. This time I took detailed notes and I still have the original letter sent to me from the first time which was clear false advertisement. I plan on opening an issue with the BBB and Honda after this review.

We have a pleasant experience with Paragon Honda, Bryan Molina took care of us and gave a great deal in our New 2013 Odyssey. He was always attentive and professional and did everything he could to gave us a good deal. We liked that he was never rushing or pressuring us to buy, he gave us the options and guided us to make the best decision. I would highly recommend this dealership.Thanks a lot!

William made our search for a perfect car a very pleasant experience. He spent time explaining options available and showed us all available colors and choices to make our decision easier. He was very confident about the high quality of the product he was selling, and was very knowledgeable about the car industry. Additionally, He was very helpful with arranging a new car insurance policy. My wife and I do not hesitate to give him the highest score for professionalism and friendliness. Finally, we are confident we received a great product for the price we paid. Thank you William, and please thank Evelin, too.

We went here to purchase a Odyssey, and what an experience. I have a lot of experience dealing with the new car buying process and this one was probably one for the record books. They were friendly and seemed to want to work with us, but looks can be deceiving. After test driving the vehicle and sitting down, they came with their lease offer, and wow did it knock us off our feet....$820/month+1500 down...wait...what?!?! After seeing that we knew what we were talking about they cut that in half, but really they came out with some outrageous figure and they did it like they were doing us a favor. It was utterly ridiculous, and we walked...wait..RAN as fast as we could of from there. We ended purchasing a vehicle at another dealership, and the sales experience was quite the opposite of this one. I would definitely never visit their showroom again, unless I wanted a good laugh at their pricing.

I have returned to Paragon Honda now for a third time, and the main reason is Ivonne Miranda, one of your hardest workers I've seen. I half-heartedly returned a second time after a not so great experience my first time around, but this time I was trully suprised. She is outstanding in every way. She at once makes you feel welcome and at ease. She is honest and tries to make the best deal that will work within the customers needs. I loved her so much I recommended a friend, who also "fell in love" with her and purchased a car as well!!

I walked in to the dealer just to inquire and learn and the Honda Accord. Mr.Stanley was very knowledgeable and best of all honest and not pushy at all. He sat with with me and went over the car features, he also explained buying options of either Leasing or financing. And when I felt ready I went back to see him and ended up buying the car. Mrs.Evelin walked me through the paper signing and showed me the inside features of the car. I had a great experience and I recommend both Honda associates to everyone.

I am writing you to let you know I am very disappointed with Paragon Honda. I bought a Honda Civic 2010 on Nov. 19,2012. It was the first time I bought a car. The salesman Sultan Haseq referred me to Alan Gensler Business Manager to get the financing approved. He told me that it was a requirement to get a Paragon Honda package to get a low financing including Honda Care, credit protection and other equipment $6614. What is other equipment? There is no itemization in my receipt. All of these in addition to the car payment which increased my monthly payment to $381.65 for 60 months. When I asked to pay in 36 months, he said the financing was for 60 months. He assured me that I would be receiving the Honda Care package in 2 weeks. As of today I have not received the package, even though I have already paid 2 months. At the end of December,I went to Paragon Honda to find out in person and asked Mr. Gensler why I have not received it yet. The ridiculous response was that I should wait after the next month because it was a delay due to those clients affected by Hurricane Sandy were given priority. I am still waiting for the Honda Care package. I am very disappointed because it looks like Paragon Honda does not care about my concern.

The dealer was very nice and friendly on my first day of visit and broke down the prices of a new Honda Accord that i was looking for, such as the price, tax, delivery to destination, plate, etc. Five days later, me and one of my family member got off work 2 hours early to buy the car, we even made a called before we go there. Dealer spoke nicely on the phone... But once we got there, he gave us a new offer which was $2000 increment from last offer. He said last week's offer was for last week and he said that the last offer did not include tax, delivery fees... This is my last experience dealing with paragon and i will not recommend this to any of my friends. They played us and wasted my time, so be aware of scammers in this company, it sounds cheap but you will eventually spend more money here than anywhere else.After reading various google reviews of people who have had the same experience, I realized dealers here are being dishonest, so i decided to rather spend more money at another dealer instead of getting ripped off here.

I saw a vehicle on their website. send an email and got a quick reply from Alexandra Mcpherson on jan 11-2013. Later that day another sales man called me. I said yes I am interested in the car, do you still have it available? and he said and quote: " oh I don't really know, but we have a great selection of cars",I said, thanks, I will be calling back. 20 minutes later I called Alexandra. I asked about the vehicle, if it was available, and if so to setup an appointment and test drive. For today sunday at 2pm, and she said, it's ok, we'll see you at 2pm. Today sunday jan 13-2013 at 11:45 Am, another sales man by the name of DAVID MUNOZ called me, to remind me of my appointment, and to ask for him. And I specifically asked him: " is the vehicle still available? and he said: yes, definitely. just come by. I drove for about 1 hour to get to the place. At the entrance every sales man is harassing you. I asked for David, he introduced himself, very nice, then he sent me another guy ( did not read the name tag), and we sat down, the usual talk, showed me the carfax. And then he said, OK I am going to get the car for you to test drive it , and the we will sit down and discuss the price and terms. 10 minutes later he came back, and went directly to DAVID and told him something. My guess: The car is no longer available. Then this guy DAVID goes and tells me: " mm are you interested in other vehicles? I said: NO. he then said: " it seems the car in not available, I am trying to find out what seems to be the problem ". He did not contact anybody, just sat down there, the other guy disappeared of my view. And then after 15 minutes I asked him: " excuse me, can you tell me whats going on? and the tells me: " Oh, I am sorry, I don't know what is happening " I mean, are you serious? We were just sitting there like fools. I was so upset because he had just told me no more than 2 hours ago that the car was available but I said thanks very much, and just walked away. Now I am writing this review, so other people like me from out of the state stay out of the state and dont waste their time visiting this dealer. I went to the place after reading several bad reviews. HUGE MISTAKE. Take into account the reviews... And do yourself a favor and don't waste your time.

the experience that i had at paragon honda was great. from the time i got on the lot, i was greeted by a young energetic, vibrant, honest young man by the name of Kazi. Kazi truly deserves much praise for his hard work and dedication for going above and beyond the call of duty to help me in my experience of buying a brand new 2013 car. Even on his day off Kazi came in to finalize some paperwork for me. overall i really enjoyed the experience due to this young man. it is my deepest hope that he stays on this path of being a public servant, helping other to achieve their piece of the american pie. It would be my pleasure to recommend anyone of my family members or friends to kazi and i know that they will also experience what i was a part of. much kudos and high praises for you young man.....

Kazi went out of his way to ease the sometimes chaotic process of the car buying experience. Absolute class act of a man he is. He found the vehicle that fit my needs the most, at the price range I needed, and was genuine about fulfilling the needs of the customer. Thank you Kazi for shopping with me, and not selling to me. The world needs more genuine people like you, ,especially in this line of work.Thanks again for everything!

Very good people. They gave me a $21k car, (I looked up the value myself) for 17k. Great deal. They are very willing to work with you so you can drive away in the car you actually want. Also, I can tell they keep their cars very well maintained from looking at the exterior and interior of mine. Like brand new. Go to Paragon Honda if you want a nice car and save money. You wont be dissapointed :-)

This recent purchase was my 4th vehicle purchased from Paragon Honda. Working with Shawn Brown has been a wonderful experience. He is very friendly and attentive and made sure I got a great deal. My wait time was minimal and I was able to take delivery of my 2013 CRV. i was even able to get my insurance lowered! His manager Ariel is also very friendly as was the delivery coordinator, Elsie Tavarez. Elsie made sure I understood all the features of my vehicle. I would highly recommend Paragon Honda and working with Shawn, Ariel and Elsie. They also have an amazing team in their finance department as well. I felt no pressure at all and felt very comforable with all their friendly staff. Thank you Shawn for making my experience with Paragon Honda such a wonderful one. I look forward to our continued relationship with Paragon Honda.

If you looking to buy a car and want to negotiate with this dealer over the phone regarding prices and inventory, please don't waste your time.This dealership has no clue what is in their inventory so if you call and they say it's in stock, they are lying.Due to Hurricane Sandy, I lost my car and was urgent to get into a new one. I already did my research on what model and color car I wanted and Paragon offered a decent deal so I made an appointment to test drive a coffee color Honda CRV EXL with Nav. They said they are bringing it down and will be ready by the time I arrive. I live in Brooklyn so I had to borrow a car from someone. Once I arrived, I waited over 30 minutes to speak to someone and another hour for them to tell me the car I wanted wasn't there, and was on it's way from Brooklyn. (which is a lie). We were there for 3 hours and still the car hasn't arrived so we filled out the paperwork, PAID THE DOWN PAYMENT, got the insurance done and they changed the VIN number 3 times cause they didn't know the correct VIN number. THIS PLACE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE ON WHAT THEY HAVE IN STOCK. And finally I was told that it will be in tomorrow morning and sales rep said he will make sure it's ready.The next morning, I took a 2 hour train ride there, and guess what? They didn't have the car. If they knew this, why did they make me take a 2 hour train ride? not only they didn't have the car, they forced me into a car that I didn't want. And after waiting another 3+ hours and due to the urgency, and many errands I had to take care of due to the storm, I walked out with a car which already had over 10 miles on it, a dark grey with grey interior. Opposite of what I wanted which was suppose to have a black interior. I kept in communication with the sales rep, but he didn't care, they already got the sale, so I wrote to the General Manager Brett, I sent him an e-mail regarding my situation, and didn't get any response back. This place couldn't even put my old plates on the car, not only my insurance was changed 3 times, now I have my old plates on hand, no insurance on the totaled car from the storm, so now I have to deal with an insurance lapse. Stay away from here and go somewhere else that will at least not force you to come in the next morning and lie saying the car is ready when they know I was suppose to take a long train ride there. I could of went to a Honda dealer walking distance from where I lived and saw the car I wanted, but Paragon really took advantage. So if your a hurricane victim, this place will make your life worst. I wasted 2 days to get a car I didn't want and every day I think about what kind of people will do this to victims of a hurricane, and not even say they are sorry or offering alternatives, or help after writing to everyone. People I dealt with is April, Ariel, Bud, and a finance manager who tried to pull a quick one at the end after all this. Unbelievable.

By far, paragon is the worst dealer in NYC. My experience with them has been nothing but unpleasant, simply HORRIBLE!!!, I wouldnt want anyone experiencing what I have. I encountered issues the first day I purchased a 08 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6. Paragon uses a body shop located on Northern and 57th St, this place uses the cheapest type of paint and the quality of work is absolutely horrendous; they painted the wrong fender and used the wrong color of paint!!! Paragon sided with the shop and had them work on my car for a second time; they made the issue even worst. Joe the used cars manager provided nothing but horrible service, all he did was attempt to make the customer happy, until the customer leaves the lot, then you are SCREWED. My second mistake was having my car serviced there (31st Ave), they over charge for labor, they replaced a part that didnt need to be replaced, according to Honda it should be replaced at 110,000 miles, paragon replaced it at 45,000 miles because it showed cracking, I only drive my car on the weekends!!!! And to top it off they left two (2) huge deep scratches on the passenger door!! What did the service advisor tell me: It happens; Really? Thats how much you care about your customers? If you dont want headaches, problems with your car, TERRIBLE service, and get screwed over STAY AWAY from paragon. The biggest thievery is NYC by far.

When my 2008 Pilot was totaled in the recent flood, I had to get another one immediately because Im handicapped and have difficulty walking. So I made a list of everything I wanted in a new (2013) Pilot and the price I was willing to pay and went to Paragon. Not only did they agree to my price, but they got me the truck that afternoon! They called every warehouse to find the exact vehicle I wanted, found one in Brooklyn and had it driven over immediately, did the Motor Vehicle and auto insurance paperwork, and processed my new lease all within six hours. And everyone who helped me was considerate, courteous, and respectful. I really recommend Paragon.

They are thieves who could care about your needs all they care about is making money, I went to buy a new car and trade in my old Honda which I only owed $8,000 on they said they were going to give me 11,500 trade in value because it was a 2008 very low miles and very well maintained to my surprise when it says Trade In thats all they consider it, also after 8 hours of sitting there (yes I am a women) they ended up putting me into a lease when I thought I was Financing also my payments went up by $40.00 after saying I told them I couldn't afford $40.00 more I was promised by the sales man Jose and Johnathon that they would send me 2 referral payment once they sold another car, which is $250.00 so that would of made of somewhat of the differnce I'm paying. Which I never got!!! what I did learn is if you think you're getting a deal there, their actually getting you. So read all contracts because I have 2 different one's (1) saying my monthly payment is $350. and (2) says payment is $360.00 and the car sucked, nothing but problems and you can't get any help from them. I had to go directly to Honda Financial to get help. Now that I'm shopping around for new car it's been made clear now that someone has gone over all paperwork with me and they have pointed out exactly how I was taken advantage of and also informed me that's why they kept me there for 8 hours to wear me down. They stink and I wouldn't send my worst enemy there to buy a car. Beware!!! If it sounds to good to be true KNOW IT IS!

Be aware about this car dealer, two words to describe this dealer, dishonesty and overpriced, ended up paying over 20% more of the already inflated price for the car ($7500) more, even had to pay for the wheel lock. Stay away unless you do not care about your money

Our salesman Danny Gomez was excellent. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service. Everyone is the dealership was friendly and professional and the overall dealership was far nicer and cleaner than any other Honda dealer we visited in the trip-state area. Their financing associate was also very helpful. Overall, it was an excellent customer service experience.

I have to admit to my ups and downs with Paragon Honda, since I bought my pre-owned certified Honda Accord.I frankly believe now, that they stand behind their "moto" to provide an excellent experience and care! I received a wonderful service and attention to my concerns (the car needed new tires), and was treated with undersatnding. I trully believe, that Anthony Petito who, was helping me, was just a great listener, and the communicator to have everything done in timely and professional manner. I absolutely recommend this dealership and service department to those who can't make up their mind. And to those who didn't have a positive experience with Paragon, just ask yourselves, if that was just one person who din't have the best day at work (it happens to all of us:),and don't give up hope:)

I found the people at Paragon Honda to be very helpful, courteous and accommodating. Our salesperson, Mr. Juan Arias, was thoughtful and efficient, and we did not feel any pressure to make decisions. He was particularly good at helping us figure out what we really needed, and most helpfully, he told us to come in on Friday to allow us to take a look and help us find what need. Indeed, he helped me transfer the stuff from my old vehicle to the new one. It was a pleasure to do business. Mr. Levy was also willing to help us get out the door in good order and very clear in explaining the possible choices we might have for additional policies. Overall great experience now I get to enjoy our new vehicle thanks a lot Paragon Honda hope to do business again soon

BUYER BEWARE! I had my certified check for payment in full for a used 2011 Honda CRV. Vehicle was confirmed that it was there and I was told a sale sign had been placed on car. After driving 1 1/2 hours to get there from upper Westchester County, i was told "car had just been sold, but we can show you others". Of course, THEY WERE MORE MONEY. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE. Unethical, bait and switch, fraudulent.

I received incredible service and consideration from the floor manager, Joe Carusone.He was a gentleman. Listened to my rationale for theprice I was willing to pay for the vehicle and was willing to work with me to close the deal.The car is a certified preowned car. They prepped itbeautifully. When I went to pick it up, the salesmanapologized that it was a rainy day. He told me to comeback on the sunny day of my choice and they'd wash &polish it again. The gave me a voucher for free gasat a nearby station. Before I left, the salesman hadme sit in the driver's seat and he helped me locate and operate every switch and button. He showed me how to access the spare tire and jack. Before I left, he told me to call him presonally for ANY question or concern.This was the BEST experience I have ever had purchasinga used vehicle.It's been more than six months. The car has had it'soil change and check up..... NOT ONE PROBLEM in 6 months.Honest dealer selling quality Certified Hondas.HIGHLY Recommended.

On July 2nd 2012 I purchased a brand new 2012 Honda CRV from Paragon Honda on Northern Boulevard in Queens.Horrified on 7/12/12 to find that my six year old neice while playing in my vehicle, which was in a garage was able to start the motor without the key or remotedue to a wiring and/or instillation defect. I notified Honda USA and the dealership of this problem on 7/13/12 and still have not had it corrected. Must someone be injured or killed? Scary thing is the dealership claims to have installed "thousands" of these, how many more children are in danger?Also notified was the NHTSA and a complaint was filed with the BBB of New York for the dealer showing and selling me oan OEM product and then installing an aftermarket of which works incorrectly. Also have supporting video of this defect.

They supposedly sold me a 09 accord for 15500 when I got paperwork mail they added extra $1000 when I went in to ask the maneger "mike" he tried to tell me it was for the alarm , I told him that the salesman David German gave me the inicial price and eventually "mike" gave in ,that was two weeks ago Im still waiting for the cheak was told to come in and get it on a monday and when i go in was told by maneger "mike" that the cheak needed to be signed come back tomorrow "I told him when i come back i hope you don't say come back the next day he calls me sarcastic. a nd i'm still waiting . Once you buy the car from them they don't want to hear you you call they put you on hold and never pick up. Paid $212 for license and registration told I should get $50 in mail which I never received. Buyer beware . I should have went with a lawyer and an accountant to purchase the car they are truely out to scam you . I wonder to how many people have they done this to that hacen't even noticed the extra thousand. I also refinanced and Paid of the car and got a much better apr. with the bank.

After an extensive car shopping experience from dealership to dealership I finally was able to make a purchase at Paragon Honda. With me having a lack of ANY credit history at all I was surprised that I was able to get a good financing deal through honda considering what all of the other dealerships were offering. The sales guy, Esa Popal, was very nice and extremely patient with me. When following up he wasn't too pushy or annoying. He also was easy to get in touch with through his cell phone if I had any questions. The financial manager was detailed with explaining the financing and was very clear about everything. No hidden fees or bogus, made-up charges like prep, and some crazy off-the-wall processing fee as i saw at other dealers. They weren't able to hit my payment budget on the nail, but came preeettttyyy close to it which is fine by me. Overall the only downside I could find was that there was quite a bit of waiting in the used car office, it can get pretty busy, so I would recommend going on a day where you don't have anything planned. I must say that I probably will be going back to Paragon Honda for any service needed on my vehicle because of the great customer service I received.

I am incredibly grateful for the kindness which was extended to me during my entire experience at Paragon Honda. The service provided by Shawn Brown, Ariel Munoz, and Wendy Deshais was EXCEPTIONAL. Obviously leasing/buying a car is an extensive process, and I never imagined that I would be so excited about a car. During the process of looking at cars at multiple other dealerships, I became concerned that I would end up with a car that I didn't love/was not comfortable in, because of monetary reasons. Shawn, Ariel, and Wendy made the process at Paragon Honda completely stress free, and made me feel assured that I would leave Paragon Honda with a car I loved, and at a price in which I felt comfortable.I can not quite articulate how thankful I am, but please know that I felt confident that they truly cared about providing extraordinary service, and that it was not simply about selling another car. I highly recommend that anyone in need of a car visits Shawn, Ariel, and Wendy at Paragon Honda on Northern Boulevard!Thank you again,Arleigh

I have a very bad experience with paragons Honda. I bought 2011 Honda crv. I encountered with sales man majumdat with very less experience Gary the finance manger who is gonna rip u off and joy and Elvis who is the chief of paragon Honda do not have single experience of lease formulas. I was ripped almost 5000 dollars. I kept 2000 dollar down payment which they didn't include in the paper. I was told Honda care is free and were charging me 2400 dollars. I have made several complains against paragon Honda to business bureau, consumer affair and attorney general of new York. I request every consumer to be carefully before u step into paragons Honda. Make sure u know every details about paragon Honda. I went to different dealer and every dealer and better known person told me I m ripped off by paragon Honda. This is my bad experience and I hope every body will learn and stay out of the trouble.

I am writing this review for future customers who shop car to Paragon Honda. Please read this review, because it is important to know this and study about car buying and secure financing before you go. We regret it because it was our first time to purchase new car and did not bring necessary document such as credit score or researching more about average APR at other dealers.When we talked about financing our plan after paying our down payment $10,000 for brand new Honda FIT 2012 with business manager Alan Gensler, He gave us two option:one is our APR is 16% with no warranty and our monthly payment is $380 OR with purchase of extended warranty and credit protection plan and lojak which cost over $8000, he could lower APR down to 3.9% and monthly payment is $375. The story was not what we were told at the begging because we were told APR is 2-3% range. We had to excuse for a moment, so he could study to lower the rate(according to him) and came back with another APR which is 2.7%(yes lower but..) we still had to pay for extended warranty and credit protection which cost us $4300 and our monthly payment is $276. We thought it was still higher than we were supposed to pay, but the car was same day delivery and had no choice but taking the plan he suggested, so we took the plan. However, we checked our receipt later, and they didn't itemize anything about this $4300 charge and just wrote "other equipment". We also found actual warranty cost only $610, so basically we were ripped off by their retail mark up.Alan Gensler was real con-artist, so please be prepared to defend yourself for whatever he says. We have been humiliated and offended by him.As of today, we were contacted by the dealer and the process of getting refund or undo our contract from begging. Once we get everything fixed, I am going to update review.

I went to 5 Honda dealerships to figure out which SUV I wanted and how little I could pay for it. The people at Paragon were the most helpful. The salesman was very polite and attentive (and patiently answered my questions and took me out for test drives). But even if he wasnt, I still would have bought the Pilot I drove with him because Paragon offered the lowest price. What I paid Paragon for a new Pilot (with all the upgraded features) was several thousand dollars less than I would have paid at local and regional competitors. I had had a very positive experience and I got the truck I wanted at the price I wanted. And they did my DMV work right there very quickly. I also had a good experience with the Honda Finance Manager at Paragon.

After speaking with Stephanie Jay of the Acura side of the business, she suggested speaking to Shawn Brown and Ariel Munoz of Paragon Honda. Not only did Stephanie take time to listen to my actual needs, but she sent me over to other staff that seriously had their facts about the vehicle. I left with a lease on a CRV and I couldnt be more happier with both the treatment and the work they put in to get me what I believe is the best deal possible given my not so excellent credit score. I left very much pleased.

After shopping around at several Honda dealerships, I ultimately bought a Honda Civic 2012 EXL from Paragon. Although the car was used, it had only 5K miles on it and I got a pretty good deal for a practically brand new car. The salesman who helped me was Sal Sifs and overall, I would recommend him if you go to Paragon. My boyfriend and I went to Paragon a few times before finally deciding to do the deal with this dealership. Everytime that we went, Sal was patient and helpful to us. He's direct and upfront, which I prefer compared to some sleazy sales guys that I've come across through my car shopping experience at some other places. Sal is a professional and accomodating guy - definitely ask for him! Thanks Sal -- I'm happy with my purchase and if I'm looking for any other Honda cars, I'll make sure to stop by again.

I went to Paragon Honda just to test drive a vehicle. Mr. Cruz showed me the car I was interested in and gave me some different choices. He definitely was a no pressure guy. Very helpful about options, etc. He worked to get me a price I was happy with.... Soon after I drove off in my new car. I will recommend Paragon & Mr. Cruz to my family & friends. Thank you Mr. Cruz! Thank you Paragon!

After browsing multiple dealers for the best price on a new car Paragon Honda came up with a really good quote.Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ends. After incessant text messages from one of the "sales managers" about how I needed to come see the car RIGHT THIS SECOND, and how people were going to buy it (At one point he texted me it was sold but the people left no money down so if I came in right that second I can have it.) I finally told him I would come in the following day.The next day I called before I left for the hour long trip from Massapequa to Woodside to make sure the car was still available for purchase, and of course I was reassured that it was. By the time I got there and inquired about it in person, I was told the car was sold weeks ago, a sizable down payment was left, and the person that purchased it was picking it up the following day.The salesman was happy to help me build and price a much more expensive current year model (the car I was looking at was supposedly a leftover 2011, and about $8,000 off of MSRP). After going through the formality of building the car he asked me what it would take to get me to take the car today. I explained that I wanted an even trade for my current car, which wasn't TOO far of a stretch. (A low mileage 2010 Camaro 2LT/RS vs CRZ EX w/ Navi)From that point he told me that if I wanted to trade in my car I had to sign a form that committed me to purchasing their car once I had mine appraised, which I refused to do. After that, he completely changed the meaning of what he said and told me if I wanted to back out after the appraisal I can. I agreed to that and he had me take the car down the block to the used car manager to have appraised.Sadly, but at this point expectantly, they lowballed me for my car. As I mentioned prior, I was shopping around at a few dealerships and got appraisals that ranged between $20k and $21.9k for my car, and this dealer wanted to give me $17k.Insulted, and realizing I did not want to do business with this stealership anyway, I bid the salesman farewell, and made the long, frustrating, hour drive back to Nassau on a completely wasted Sunday afternoon.The kicker of the story is that the "sales manager" I spoke to that got me in the dealership to begin with asked me how the visit went the following day.PS - The salesman are not even that knowledgeable about the rules and regulations that govern automotive sales. The salesman tried to explain to me I would owe sales tax on the whole value of the new car rather than the value just above my trade in, which is completely, utterly, 100% incorrect.I don't know if that was a ploy to get me to agree to a higher price (he never actually showed me the breakdown of the price + fees), or if he was sincerely that ignorant about his job (when I told him he was wrong he simply said "No I'm not, I do this every day")but I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.Buyer beware. The dealership itself is very nice, and the people are very friendly, but go in with a head on your shoulders and don't let them pull anything over on you.

My overall experience was both fast and satisfying. I went in looking for a specific car and price and Jose Arias never hesitated to make sure I got what I wanted. Other dealers always make promises they don't keep - not at Paragon. My buying experience at Paragon was an overall success.

From the time I spoke to Mohammed Rakib over the telephone I knew I was going to have a pleasant experience with buying a car at Paragon. Mohammed was not pushy or anxious to make a sale and that is what I appreciated, since I had been to a few other dealers that tried all kinds of tactics to get me to buy a car. Mohammed got me the exact car that I wanted and I am extremely pleased. I will definately refer people to Paragon and pass the word that Mohammed Rakib is the person to see.Please let the owner/management know how pleased I was with Mr. Rakib.

I picked up my 2012 Honda Pilot last week and I was very happy with the entire process. My salesman, Richard Perez, was very professional and helpful. We went in there knowing what we wanted as far as model & features so that was the easy part. The hard part for us was the color. Richard pulled out the two colors for me so I was able to see both colors side by side. The price negoitation process was also very smooth. The manager that spoke to us was Ariel Munoz. He brought down the price of the car to a reasonable amount. When we went to pick up the car we had to wait a little bit while the running boards were being installed but they kept us informed and we finished up the financing part while we waited. Our delivery co-ordinater was Amanda. She walked us through all the main features of the car in a professional way. I had purchased my previous Honda from Paragon 9 years ago and I have to say that this time around they went above and beyond. I will definately recommend Richard, Ariel & Amanda.

We had a wonderful experience doing business with Paragon Honda - especially our dealings with Justin Hili, who gave us incredible professional service, including driving our new leased vehicle to White Plains and picking up our prior leased Honda Pilot. The deal we made was great and we finished our transaction with complete satisfaction. It was a pleasure dealing with Justin and we plan to return again for our next purchase with the confidence that we will get a fair deal and be treated with care and consideration.Thanks Justin -- you made our car shopping experience easy and satisfying!

Mr. Cruz is a very knowledgable Salesperson, you will feel like you've completed a training course about car purchasing by the time he is finished with you. He will able able to break down all your finance options. Paragon Honda will continue to be #1 as long as they continue having professionals like Mr. Cruz on their staff. I highly recommend this dealership for your Honda needs.

I had visited another dealership (not Honda) a month previous to my purchase and I had such a bad experience that I was afraid to continue my search for a new vehicle. One day a friend at work recommended the Honda name, so I figured I would give my search another try. The closest Honda dealership to me is Paragon Honda in Queens, N.Y. and that's when I met Louis Cruz, who changed my whole outlook on car salesmen. He was not pushy whatsoever, very caring to my needs, very informative, extremely kind, patient, and actually funny, in a nut shell, everything opposite of what you think about car salesmen. He made my new car buying experience an enjoyable one. After my purchase, over the following week, any issues or concerns that I had he took the time out to answer my questions and did not make me feel like I was being a bother, he was very helpful. I would highly recommend Louis Cruz to anyone who is looking to purchase a Honda at Paragon in Queens.

I am giving this dealer a bad review because of the overall horrible experience I had there. I leased my civic from paragon about two years ago and so they contacted me to buy back the car and get me into a new lease or buy. After appraising the civic I could hear the conversation between the saleswoman who was trying to get me a good deal and the manager who was literally jumping up and down saying he will give the lowest amount possible and that he doesn't care and go back and offer them this which was a really bad deal. After complaining in their own survey the general manager tried to get me back for the next few days with a decent deal but I instead went to hillside Honda and ended up leasing my car from them with a much better deal. The salesman Darryl Jones was very nice professional and got us the deal we wanted with no b.s. whatsoever. I highly recommend skipping Paragon and going straight to Hillside. Also at Hillside there were no plastic smiles and phoniness at all. Paragon Honda should be ashamed at blatantly trying to take advantage of people. Shame Shame Shame!

We had an overall great experience working with Esa Popal at Paragon Honda in Woodside. We bought a low mileage, immaculate SUV for a great price. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and professional. We recommend this dealership and we will be repeat customers in the future.

In February I purchased my first car! I was fortunate enough to have meet Camilla who made the experience effortless. She was very patient and was available to answer all my questions as they arised. My intention was not to purchase a car, I just went in to take a look at what my options were since Paragon was highly recommended by cousin. She was truly a pleasure to work with as well as the rest of the staff there.

I am writing this to express my satisfaction with my sales person Esa Popal. After getting the run around at another Honda Dealership, it was refreshing to be assisted by Mr. Popal's straight forward approach. There were a lot of Civics to chose from and he patiently helped my sort through which one was the best for me. He let me test drive each car I wanted to drive without hesitating (Other dealerships I went to wouldn't let me drive a car unless I would commit to buying it first!). He gave me a few pointers on selecting a car that were very useful. When I picked up the car, it had a scratch that had gone unnoticed by me and the Honda dealership, Mr Popal had it touched up while I waited. Overall the level of service I received from him was top rate and far exceeded any of the salesmen from the 4 other dealerships I went to.

My name is William Rodriguez, I decided to buy a used vehicle for my wife, we found a decent car, for a decent price (2009 Honda Accord Maroon), the person who took care of us, was very attentive, professional. I liked his approach, the way he treated us, the way he explained to us the whole process, very honest and the most important thing, with respect every step of the way, from begining to the end of our visit. We got everything as promise. Excellent salesman. We will return and we will ask for him. Great Service.

Found a great deal at Atlantic Honda, which was posted in the NY Newday, on 2/12/12. I went to Paragon Honda to price match, which they agreed to do; however, being in the process of purchasing a home, I was unable to purchase a vehicle on that specific date, while awaiting closing. On the 28th of February, I received a call from Paragon, asking if I was still interested in a deal and being the end of the month, they were "giving the cars away." I went at approximately 8:40pm on 2/29/12, to see how the deals were figuring they would give a good price. When I arrived, I informed William, that I did not remember the specifics of our prior conversation on 2/12/12. He subsequently located the original paperwork reflecting the offered price on a vehicle. He then spoke to me for a brief moment and then I was kept waiting for over half an hour. When he returned, he stated that they could not match the price that it was doubled. I being dumbfounded at the offer, I left immediately, even after, I was in fact going to make a purchase if given the original offer. I am completely insulted and appalled at the way I was treated and how I was lied to after spending all day at work and then having to wait to be given an unreasonable offer (pursuant to the original quote). I will never entertain conducting any business with this entity and will strongly advise others to search elsewhere for a vehicle, i.e, Atlantic or Honda of New Rochelle. I feel if you have a day to waste with no purpose, you should visit Paragon Honda.

Jose Arias was amazing to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped us get our beautiful new CR-V within 1 day. He worked with us to determine what was the best payment plan. I would highly recommend Paragon Honda and specifically Jose to help you buy or lease your next new car.

This is going to be long, but its detailed. NO ONE SHOULD EVER GO THROUGH WHAT WE WENT THROUGH AT ANY DEALERSHIP!!!!!My wife and I are looking for a new car. Growing up my father bought cheap cars and fixed them, we had a new (or what we considered new) every 2 years. I unfortunately did not inherit the gift of fixing cars. With that said I was very skeptical about going to a dealership to begin with, but knowing the condition of our car, we were left with no other choice. We had visited a couple of dealerships and then we came across Paragons website. We were contacted by a representative and we set up an appointment to meet with Luis. We liked the CRV but we weren't that picky because we knew our credit wasn't the best. Before we even test drove any vehicle, we explained our concern about our credit and what we could afford, to our surprise it didn't seem to be an issue for Luis. He said that he was confident things wouldn't be an issue. We sat there listen to the pros and cons of financing vs. Leasing and how Honda offers a 1,500.00 allowance so no ding scratch or dent would be our responsibility. I questioned him on this because all I have ever heard of leasing is if you cant write it off at the end of the year it isn't the best option and that at the end the renter is responsible for every ding scratch dent and overage on miles. So, we told him we wanted to just think about the deal more. He brought his manager over and he asks us what he could do so we could drive the car off their lot that night. It was a little pushy and my wife and I just wanted to wait and think things over. Luis asked for my registration so he could appraise the vehicle. He quoted us what they were willing to give, which was much lower than other dealerships offered. We left and on my way home I was looking for my registration, I didn't have it- so we called him and asked him if he would look to see if had forgotten to give it back to us. He said he had left and that he was going to the office the following day and would give us a call. I waited all day for him to call. I had to call him and ask him to which he promised to call back in 15 minutes and once again had to call him 5 hours later. We were done! No one offered anything to rectify the issue. In NY it is 3 dollars to issue another registration which I ended up paying (nothing to do with the 3 dollars, just the principal). I called him and told him if I could not get in contact with him regarding this issue how could I trust them with a loan for a car. A representative called my wife and asked how our response went and she let her know if was horrible. She offered to get the management team involved. The management team called her and told her that Luis would be getting in contact with her. She spoke to him and he offered 0 down and to drive away the car. He asked her the color we wanted, the model everything under the sun. I was reluctant to go not to mentioned extremely annoyed, but we went along. We get there we sit down. Once again for the FOURTH time, I ask if our credit was going to be an issue- Luis kindly said no. They gave us everything we were looking for on paper. He made me call my insurance company and switch over my insurance. The insurance faxed over the copy of the new cards. The color we wanted and were promised was sold out when we got there and they offered us a second color. At this point I just wanted to be over with the whole ordeal. We walked back inside, I signed the long leasing form and we thought wow we are getting a car. Luis then asked to wait while he spoke to his financial manager. This threw us off, as we thought this would be the first step before picking out our car and calling my insurance. The financial counselor came and let us know WHAT I WAS SAYING FROM THE BEGINNING!!!!! I did not have enough credit history to go through with this deal. He asked if I could call a cosigner. I let him know that was not an option for us. We did not want anyone to be burden by our need for a car. The financial counselor then asked my wife to cosign, she explained that she had student loans and her credit wasn't the best, he said it didn't hurt to try. My wife signed and he went to run the credit. This is what got me most of all- while he was running her credit, I saw Luis get in his Toyota Truck, coat on and drive off. I knew when I saw him leave we weren't going to get the deal. Sure enough that was our outcome. What kind of costumer service is that? You leave without saying goodbye, without telling us your sorry that it didn't go through. I was there a total of 4 hours, I missed out on a concert I bought tickets for and not to mention I had to call my insurance tell them what happened and reissue my old insurance plan. It was a horrible experience and proved my fears of Car Salesmen to be true. I have told all my friends family and co-workers about this experience. In horror they have agreed to tell everyone else they know as well. This was the worst and has turned us off from purchasing from Paragon Honda. I really do not know how they are still #1.

Customer service was excellent every step of the way. They were very friendly and professional and helped us find the car that best suit our needs with no pressure or trying to steer us one way or another. Their price point was extremely competitive and they also gave us a good deal on our trade in vehicle.

Paragon Honda ripped me off. They sent me a fake check for $1000, saying that they would give me $1000 toward the payment of my new Honda if I traded in my old Honda. Never got the check. Now, they keep giving me the run around. The receptionist even had the nerve to say "but you have no proof that we promised you the $1000." Meanwhile, when I was at the dealership, the manager told me that I would get a $1000 check in the mail after 10 t0 15 business days. They are a bunch of crooks. I wouldn't trust them!

I had a pleasant experience at Paragon. We had walked in there right after our appointment with another dealer across the street. We just wanted to look at the cars, but ended up driving out with a car at a good price. Camila was very friendly and made the car buying experience a good one for us. Overall we believe we got a good deal. I would definitely recommend them to a friend.

I had a very pleasant experience during the most recent service for my 2009 Honda Fit.Anthony was very personable, instantly got to the bottom of the problem and even went as far as to give me his personal cell phone number after discussing the repair with the Honda Representative. The problem was fixed in a reasonable time frame and after I picked up the car I even got a follow up call to check that everything was repaired to satisfaction. The other guys in the service department seemed to be equally concerned so that overall I must say that I was 100% satisfied with the effort.Leo van Assendelft

Worse experience in car buying I ever had! Sales Professional Miguel Arias was friendly enough and knew the product well. I went there to buy a 2012 Honda Pilot EX-L. We test drove the vehicle and returned to the dealership. That's when everything else went south! Miguel first tried to price gouge me by giving me a "True Market Value" price that was well above the MSRP price. When we eventually got down to a reasonable level which was well higher than the quote I got from them over the phone. We then talked trade-in. My car was taken for about 1 hour. Miguel came back and try to low ball me offering $500 on a vehicle with a trade-in valued of up to $4500. My wife who was with me had to laugh. I told him I wanted $2500 which was to me, reasonable for a vehicle in excellent condition and very low mileage. I said I would sell the car myself forget trade-in. We agreed on a price. I was going to put $1000 down on a credit card and bring in a cashiers check at the end of the week for the balance. The next horrid event was when he tells me that I had to take the vehicle on the spot. The reason I was told was that someone else offered to buy the vehicle at a higher price than me who was coming in the next day. Perplexed, I asked if this person put a down payment and the answer given was No, but we have to take the vehicle out of inventory and get it off the lot. I was told I can take the car now and come back with the balance at the end of the week. Scratching my head, I reluctantly agreed while I thought about how to get two vehicles back home. Then I was given papers to fill out while he goes to swipe my credit card. Low and behold it's a credit/finance application. I said all throughout this ordeal and he knew that I was paying cash for the vehicle. His explanation was how can they trust me to come back if they don't do a credit check and finance. I told Miguel that I did not want to take possession of the vehicle. I was giving THEM a $1000 deposit. I asked for my credit card back then left. Next day in the evening got a call from Miguel that the "other" deal fell through and when can I come in to pay for "my" vehicle. I told him I would not buy a vehicle from Paragon Honda if they were the only dealer in New York. Their tactics were unscrupulous to say the least. While I understand the need to make a profit. The need to lie and try to take advantage is unprofessional and unnecessary.

Would recommend with caution - finance department clearly tried scamming us into higher APR, treating us like we were stupid. Very concerning. Quality of the car great though.

MY NAME IS CARLOS. MY INTENTION WASN'T TO GO BUY A CAR THAT DAY I WENT TO PARAGON HONDA, BUT AS I WAS SEARCHING AROUND I CROSSED THRU STANLEY. NOTICING THAT I WAS INTERESTED IN THE ODYSSEY 2012 HE REALLY TOURED ME ABOUT THE CAR AND ALL THE ACCESSORIES AND FEATURES THE CAR HAS, WHAT IT CAN AND CANT DO. ONCE DONE I MADE MY DECISION AND IN THAT NIGHT I DECIDED TO PURCHASE MY FIRST HONDA CAR. STANLEY WAS SUCH A GREAT HELP AND HELPED ME THRU EVERY STEP FROM POINT A TO POINT C. I, PERSONALLY APPRECIATE THE TREATMENT I RECEIVED AND THE PATIENCE BECAUSE WE DID STAY THERE TILL 12 MIDNIGHT. ONCE AGAIN I WANT TO THANKS STANLEY AND ALL THE STAFF THAT HELPED ME THAT NIGHT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND STANLEY TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A GREAT SERVICE WHEN PURCHASING A CAR.

I just wanted to highly commend Sal and Joe for their excellent customer service. Most of the dealerships nowadays only care about their own personal interests (commisson) but this is not what I experienced with Paragon Honda. Sal and Joe worked closely with me for the whole nine yards. Sal and Joe were extremely helpful, very professional and very knowledgeable with their own respective craft. Sal and Joe were very friendly, personable and flexible. They made sure I was happy and satisfied with the car I bought. It was a no pressure buying experience. Sal and Joe were very patient in showing me different options available and very conscientious with my very tight budget. Overall, it was a very pleasant buying experience one can ever have. This is my third time I bought a car from this dealership and I will continue coming back to this dealership for as long as I get the same customer service level. Sal and Joe, thanks a lot for all your efforts in helping me get the car I wanted and most esp. the car I could afford. Both of you are the best and you're truly an asset to Paragon Honda.

My Name is yesenia & after putting stanley thru soooo much wait I recently purchased my 1st honda cr-v 2012. My experience at paragon honda was awesome not only because I love honda, but for the great service I received by a handsome man named stanley!!. I as a woman that doesn't know a lot about cars was very happy to receive all the knowledge about purchasng a car from the dealer.Stanley was really helpful and very VERY patient.. I can't complain about the treatment I received by team honda and I would positeveLy reCommend stanley to any of my family or friends who look foward to purchasing a honda car. Stanley I think really went out of his way to get me the car that I wanted and that's mainly what I loved about his service. He never gave up till now that I have cheesey smile on my face and with the car that I exactly wanted!. 2012 started of good for me and and I have to be greatfful in part to stanley and staff of honda for that.

I'm from Westchester and I was picking my aunt up at the airport when my car overheated. The closest honda place was Paragon Honda so we towed the car there. Not only did they fix the problem but they found critical problems that Tarrytown Honda had missed when they had done my maintenance earlier that week. Additionally, they inadvertently fixed my CD/clock light which Tarrytown Honda had told me was un-fixable without buying a new radio system! Nick Ram was very nice and helpful to us. I think its safe to say the trip down to Queens from Westchester for maintenance may be totally worth it next time. A+ Paragon Honda, my 98 civic thanks you.

I just bought pre owned 2010 Honda Accord from paragon Honda Dealership. I enjoyed shopping in this dealership. Sales person was Mr Sultan Haseq. He was very polite , friendly and professional. He treat us with respect and help us very much in our search for car. He was very knowledgeable and ansewered any question we had. I would recommend this dealership to other people. in fact some of my friends that are in the market for new car, are considering taking trip to NY and visit paragon. Mr. Sultan Haseq deserve credit for my positive experience. I love my new car and I will back to paragon for any future new car. Thank you Mr. Haseq and Thank you Paragon. Nader Parsian. Dec/2011

Very unprofessional treatment. Made me apply for credit even though I had a pre-approved loan, the amount which was much more than the car's cost, from my company's credit union. Made me wait three hours, then told me credit was denied, then told me the car I was looking at was sold too!!Total waste of my time, and the sales person who was handling me, Ishan, kept ignoring me and my friend, walking right past us without providing any update. When I finally ask him, pat comes the reply "Sorry the car is already sold" or "sorry that car is not available, we cannot find it in our inventory".. When you can walk around in front of us back and forth but dont give us an update, why dont you tell upfront the car is unavailable instead of making your customers wait for nothing.Finallly, found a car that I wanted, but they wouldnt honour their price, first saying it was incorrect, then saying they couldnt do it via my credit union and that it was only valid if I purchased it hard cash right there, otherwise, pay 3000 extra. Total load of BS, I wasted my time driving 100 miles from another state and feel like an absolute idiot.NOT RECOMMENDED.

I just leased a 2012 Honda Civic LX from Stanley Liberato. Our friend leased his 3rd Honda from Paragon and highly recommended us to go there. I shopped other Honda dealers in Queens, LI, and NJ & got Internet quotes (I always do my homework). One of NJ dealerships gave me a good price but I wanted to find a car locally. (I leave in Queens). I talked to Stanley over the phone first & Stanley was knowledgeable and helpful. When I came Stanley provided me with an excellent customer service and I was extremely satisfied with his friendly, and professional demeanor. He worked very hard with his management, finance department, and customer service to get me the lowest price and went the extra mile calling my insurance company and work out details. When we leased the car, Elsie Tavarez, Delivery Coordinator worked us through Honda features. She was very patient with us and answered our many questions. I would recommend Paragon and Stanley Liberato to everyone who is looking for Honda.

Buying a car is not a fun thing, however the experience at Paragon was really bad. I went there with my father to buy a used car and after 2 days of visiting we decided on the car we wanted. Once in the office to purchase the car, another sales person came out and gave us a smile and told us he sold the car to another person. I want to say 1st that was not professional to have a 3rd party sales person give us that bad news and second for the dealer to waste our time. We will never go back there again, since we don't trust what the sales people are telling us. You don't waste an entire day in making a buyer test drive a car after looking at cars for 2 days, to tell him at the moment of sale the car has been sold to someone else and smile about it.

Buying a car is not a fun thing, however the experience at Paragon was great. The team there was amazing and went above and beyond to make the experience excellent.In today's in age, most companies do not truly believe in customer service, however Paragon Honda and the Sales team (Kevin and Arial) ensured that a happy customer was above all else.I would send anyone to this dealership.

I went to look at certified Hondas over the weekend with my family, and was greeted by Sultan who immediately understood the quality of car I was looking for. He called me back the following day with a reasonable offer on the type of car I wanted. I went back and took a test drive. Sultan was friendly, curteous, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he was very patient in answering all the questions I had about the car and safety concerns. When it came down to the paperwork, Glenny was also very professional and worked with me on getting my interest rate down so that I could drive away with my car. Although the people I dealt with were very nice, and a few others as well, some of the guys working there seemed to have a real attitude problem. It had been a long evening trying to get everything in order so that I could drive away with my car. The least they could have done was offer some coffe, or ask if there was anything I needed. I had my 8 year old son with me, and I know a dealer is not a playground, but for future reference, Honda Paragon might consider having some snacks around when families stop by with their kids. Thank you Sultan and Glenny for your courtesy and professionalism.

Devon Jordan (manager) and Andres Sanchez (my sales person) were both wonderful to deal with. They fought for me until the end and made sure that everything was to my satisfaction. Their service is impeccable. If you are in the market for a Honda or Acura, these the people you need to see. They will treat you with respect and do their very best to take care of your needs, as they did for me. Evelin, the delivery coordinator, was also very informative and her step-by-step introduction to all the features was a great way to get to know my new vehicle. Thank you Devon and Andres!

Before I start my review, Im not affiliated or related to any of the sales people at Paragon Honda. My wife and I were very, very pleased with our experience at Paragon Honda. We purchased a 2012 Honda Pilot 4WD Touring model. Our Sales rep was Andres Sanchez. He is very courteous, knowledgeable, and super professional and goes that extra mile. I especially was appreciated with his patience because I have a 15 month old baby and Andres professionalism really, really shines. He should be a role model for other salesman. Paragon Honda provided my baby with a coloring book and some cartoon stickers which many dealerships do not do at all. They also provided refreshments for my wife and me and again many dealerships do not provide that type of service. Going back to the sale; Andres multi-tasks and which impresses me because his timing is perfect. Most sale reps will step away and forget about you, be not Andres, he somehow time manages himself like a human watch and I never have to wait for him, he is very prompt. My test drive with my vehicle was excellent too. Andres was very informative on the vehicle, he showed me every gadget and what they are used for. As far as my negotiation goes, it was the most painless process of the entire transaction. My wife and I were so satisfied with the purchase price of the vehicle which took only about 20 minutes. My trade in was also easy because I knew what I wanted in price and Andres work with the numbers and that too was a very easy and painless process, he gave my wife and I a very fair price. One last note: the day of pickup, there was a freak snowstorm in late October and I was not comfortable driving my vehicle home obviously a brand new vehicle, Andres Sanchez was super kind and made sure the vehicle was safe dry and cleans for me to pickup the next day which was a relief. Most dealerships wont do that and will say its tough and suck it up and go, but not Paragon Honda, they will work with you and provide you the best customer service.If you decide to buy a Honda, please see Andres Sanchez at Paragon Honda 1st, they have a very nice and super clean facility and the people there are very friendly and always smiling. Thats probably why they are the Number 1 Dealership in New York. Thanks again Mr. Andres Sanchez and Paragon. Also, Im and recommending them to my family and friends too and you can bet on that.

We just purchased a used Honda CR-V and had an excellent experience. Juan, Rafael and David were all very friendly, knowledgeable and professional and worked hard to get us a vehicle that we liked and to get us a good trade-in value. Plus the pricing and inventory is superb. We would recommend this dealership to friends.

Bought Honda civic recently. Went from New Jersey to buy this car. Car is clean as shown and described. Priced lowest of all dealers of this kind. Good inventory and you would not disappoint going to this place. Sultan (sales rep) was really caring for customer issues and very helpful. Joe Carusone is very understanding and friendly to deal with the customer issues. Thanks Sultan and Joe to make my purchase a memorable one. I will recommend going to this place.

I had an overall really bad and unsatisfied experience with my recent purchase of a certified pre-own Honda Accord 2008 EX-L on 10/30/11. There were so many issues (interior lights not working, remote key not working, wrong rims, mirror broken,etc) with this certified car that supposedly passed the 150 points Honda Certification Inspection. I still did not get any explanation on why a certified car that passed the 150 points inspection would have so many problems. I had to go back and forth 5-6 times to the dealer to try to get those issues fixed. It was not after 10+ days and a complaint letter to the general manager Brian Benstock, before the all the issues have been fixed. And to make things worse, they scratched the right front bumper twice and the right headlight once when the salesperson took the car to fix.The salesperson Vicky Vien was overall not bad. Shes personable, respectful, and seemed willing to try to help. Too bad every decision seems to need to go through the manager Rafael Rodriguez. One only bad thing is that she should have checked to make sure all the issues on the car has really been fixed before telling your customer that the car is ready to be picked up. The manager Rafael Rodriguez, on the other hand was not personable, nor respectful in my experience. One thing that I do want to compliment them about is that the management seemed like willing to try to help. After a complaint letter to the general manager Brian Benstock, he immediately addressed the issues to different departments and they quickly fixed the remaining issues with the car. However, they were unwilling to renegotiate the price although the car was longer in the condition when I agreed to the price for car. Not to mention that I had to go thru so much trouble.Overall, I am not satisfied with my experience with Paragon Honda. I will not recommend them to my friends or families.

The first thing i noticed when i walked in to the dealership was someone already ready to help us. He came and introduced himself and before showing us the cars, he asked us about what we are interested in. Unlike other dealers, straight running to paper work and "FORCING" the cars on you, he understood the situations we have and how we can work things out. He was a real gentleman with his performance and knowledge on the cars. Only showed us in the price range and the type of cars we asked for. He didn't try to force anything upon us. GREAT JOB! More employees need to be like him. The best is that he did not rush in anything, took his time to explain and LISTEN to us before suggesting or making any other decisions. Highly advise going to the dealer and asking to work on your car that you want with Bark Qazi.

I would definately NOT recommend going here. The salesperson started out friendly enough, he was very young. His grammar was terrible. Once we started to talk about price, I was asked to sign the paperwork, BEFORE settling on a price. I stated that I would not do that. They asked me why, I said I won't sign a contract until we work out the price. I was then asked for my debit card as proof that I was a serious buyer. I told them when we are finished with the negotiations and I sign the agreement, I will give you my card. The salesperson said it was to show the manager I am a serious buyer. I told him that I have leased many cars in the past, worth much more money, and I never heard of this and I am now uncomfortable. He argued with me until a sales manager came over to us. At this point my 1 yr old fell asleep, so I told them I need to get her home to sleep in her crib. The salesperson said let her sleep on the floor or on a chair! He begged me to stay a few more minutes, as I was holding a sleeping baby in my arms. He then offered me a price, I told them I need it to be lower, I will come back tomorrow. After chasing me, my wife, and my infant daughter down the block, I finally managed to get away. I spoke with the salesperson by phone and email, we agreed on a price. HOWEVER, the price then changed to $50 per month more when it was time to buy. The people that work at this dealership are TOTALLY unprofessional, they are rude,and you should NOT trust them. They clearly offered me a price, which I have in writing by email, but then refused to honor it. Once call to another dealership and the price was honored.

From the moment I entered I was greeted by Jose with respect, and I honestly felt he wanted to help me achieve the best possible deal I could get. As a far time buyer, I was nervous, and unsure especially because I had light credit. Jose worked with the bank and his branch to ensure not only the deal went through but I drove home in a brand new car with payments I could afford. He also went above and beyond to get me great insurance. Everything was taken care of, and I truly have to thank him for that. I commend his professionalism, and the applaud the work he's done. Next time I'm on the market, or if I know anyone whose on the market, I'll personally take them to see Jose.

The car dealer had excellent knowledge on the vehicle I intially came in to buy. In the end I didn't buy the car I had my eye on, due to the fact it had been sold. With Camila's help, I was able to find an even newer, better car than I had in mind. From the intial contact with the Internet Specialist, Lucinda to the lot with Camila and the final purchasing of the car went smoothly. I thank those two for their patience (although I barely had patience because this was my first car purchase) and everyone else who worked on my car purchase.

I bought a Honda Civic 2008 in August 2011 from Paragon Honda. Sal Sifs, my salesman, is personable and considerate. He's also dedicated to his clients. He did whatever was necessary, even working overtime, to ensure that the vehicle was in great shape. It's a fine car. His manager, Joe, made me some guarantees before the sale, and he kept them: he's an honorable man. I was wary of used car dealership--as everyone is. But the people at Paragon Honda are good folks who sell good cars, so you have nothing to worry about. They live up to their name and good reputation. I recommend them without reservation.

I recently leased a 2012 Honda Accord LX-S Coupe. My Sales Expert, Mr. Billy Sanchez, provided stellar and expert advice on the diverse selection of Accords available. His depth in knowledge of Honda's innovations and standard features provided me with a wealth of information to make a well informed choice of leasing a vehicle reasonable within my budget. One of the most important qualities of my experience with Billy was that there was no pressure to get the deal done in a matter of 5 minutes. Billy understood the importance of comparing trims, pricing, and test drives. I mentioned I was interested in an accord coupe and prior to my arrival, Billy had an LX-S and V6 EX-L waiting for me to test drive. This wasn't your two block and drive and put in park and sign the lease test drive; Billy provided a detailed tour of both interior and exterior features. He also gave a thorough explanation of new features in the engine. I was able to test drive both models on a highway and urban setting and enjoyed both models. The test drive was followed by pricing and options. One of the first questions Billy asked me was, what was I looking to spend, put down, and how was my credit history. This layed the foundation to lease terms and pricing. He presented numbers for both models that were within my budget and left the decision entirely to me. I was able to reach a deal with the financial office and signed a lease that fit my budget, gameplan, and model preference. During my negotiations with the financial office, Billy was attentive to the point that he had the vehicle washed and detailed for me to drive out the dealership the same day. We crossed "T's" and dotted "I's" and was able to drive my brand new 2012 Honda Accord LX-S home. I had a terrific experience at Paragon and more importantly with Billy. I recommend Billy for anyone looking to get into a car because of expeditious, friendly, and expert service. Leasing a vehicle can be a life altering and nerve wrecking experience, however Billy changed the setting to a smooth and comfortable transaction.

We came in for a Honda CRV and walked out with an amazing car for an even more amazing deal. The team here at Paragon Honda was really helpful and considerate to our financial and safety concerns regarding the vehicle. We felt comfortable and like our needs and concerns were respected. I would definitely do business here again and definitely recommend my friends or relatives to purchase a vehicle here. Another aspect of Paragon that made me confident about my purchase was their organization. Everything was clear and organized, several people helped us and specialized in each area of the customer experience which made everything a lot quicker!! Keep up the great work guys!

About two weeks ago I purchased a car from this auto dealer, and I am happy with my purchase however, the customer service was less than standard. The initial sales person, Bark, was warm, inviting and respected my husband and I. However, we soon learned he was only a representative to show us around the sales lot, and that our actual business transaction would take place with Syed, the unprofessional-in a rush and "I don't care about you", sales manager. Syed would stand us by a car and disappear for long-periods of time which prompted us to search more for a car salesman, than a car. While it was a long and agrivating process, which we could have walked away from and down the block to the next dealer. We held steadfast to making a purchase based on Bark's intervention in making sure that we were happy and comfortable with our purchase.

Paragon was recommended to me by someone who had recently purchased a CR-V there and she was very pleased not only with her vehicle but with the purchase price. I was referred to Sal by name, and from our initial phone contact I felt more than comfortable about coming in as soon as possible. The atmosphere at Paragon was more attractive than the other dealerships I recently visited. And Sal was extremely friendly, personable, and knowledgeable about the vehicles that I was interested in. Anyone can tell from the way he interacts with customers and the way he explains details that he not only enjoys his work but he is good at it. I appreciate his honesty and his eagerness to help me find something that was appropriate for me, not just to make a quick-and expensive-sale. Sal made suggestions and offers that I had not received from other dealers; it turns out that leasing was a much more affordable and reasonable choice for me and I didn't even know it! I probably would have been stuck with a higher car note and an older vehicle at another dealership but not at Paragon, especially with Sal's patience and expertise! Overall I am very pleased with my new Civic, I am in love with it already, and I feel good about the terms of my lease agreement and the overall experience was pleasant. Now I'm actually excited to get up and go to work in the morning-what more could I ask for?

We cannot say enough about Sal's awesome customer service! Since the moment we arrived at Paragon until we left on our CR-V 2010, he was helpful and willing to answer all of our questions. Exceptional customer service!! He did his best to give us the best pricing available. He was very patient and very friendly. He answered every single question we had about the vehicle and options available. The CR-V '10 is in optimum condition and we were not rushed into buying it. We took our time to look at it and take it for a test drive until we were 100% sure that the vehicle was right for us. We are happy customers! And would definitely come again to this dealership in the future!! Another plus is that Sal was such a sweet heart with our 3 yr old daughter who is really a handful child but he was so patient with her and she really liked him, which is also a plus when you go with kids to a dealership. Overall, very satisfied! Thanks Sal!!!

At the beginning, I got everything that, as customer, I was looking for to complete a purchase: Great attention, good car and a good price. Unfortunately, the great service did not last as I had wished.I had the opportunity to meet Mr.Sultan and David Munos, sales persons at Paragon Honda. They gave me special service, and convinced me to choose Paragon Honda instead of any other dealer. I really was satisfied and thanks them for their service and attention.Thirty Five (35) days later, however, I had not received the Title of the vehicle, and was told by the NY DMV that they had not received the paper work from the dealer. I decided to call Paragon's customer service on Friday, October 7 2011, and asked if she could tell me "if the paperwork had been sent or if they were going to send it soon". This lady, however, was reluctant to answer during the entire conversation. She kept her statement that I did not need to worry about it because the dealer had Forty Five (45) Days to send the title to motor vehicles. She did not care that I needed the title, as I calmly explained her, and all I wanted was to check if there was any mistake or delay that we could avoid. I finally gave up with the only choice of waiting.After that, I actually got a call from Ms.Dinny (Might be miss spelled), and she did took the time to review my case. She explained me that the paperwork had been sent to DMV, but rejected and they had to order a duplicate title. She also apologized and ask me to pass by, if I needed, and get an extended registration. Thank you very much to those professional individuals at Paragon Honda.

A month before I went down to paragon I was in an accident that totaled my 08 Civic si. I went down to paragon in search of a 2012 si in red just like my old car. After searching many dealerships no one was able to provide a 2012 sedan regardless of color. I went down to paragon and spoke to Kevin only to find out that there were only about 5 of the models I was looking for on the entire east coast. Kevin spent the entire day looking for my car in color that I wanted. He was able to find one about 8 hours away. Paragon went to all the trouble of buying the car off of the other dealership and driving it down. Kevin took a flight up there for me and drove it down personally. He went way above and beyond what I would of expected to provide me with my dream car.

My first visit to Paragon was LONG. Only because I came to look for a car with my dad and the sales person, Bark Q. took us through the lot and gave us his undivided attention and never once seemed annoyed. You know how some salesmen are, NO PATIENCE because they think that you're not coming to buy. We looked at 8 used cars narrowed it down to 3 then finally choosing the one I liked the most. While going thru this process, Bark stayed with us and gave us GREAT customer service. We had to come back the next day because at first the monthly payments were too high for me. I wanted to get my $2,000 deposit back but the manager, Mr. Nadib worked with me to get to a more manageable monthly payment. I was VERY greatful to the both of them. If you're looking for quality customer service at Paragon, ask for Bark Qazi and Mr. Nadib. They will take care of you.

Honestly, I was going in for a Honda Pilot 2010 Certified but Vicky and Rafael hooked me up with a NEW Honda Pilot 2011 for a cheaper price!!! They were incredibly nice to work with. I came in very apprehensive since other dealerships were like sharks and pressured you to buy. Everything I asked for within this new car, they were accomadating and customer service from these guys were top notch. You can't go wrong going with Team Rafael. Vicky, Raf, you guys ROCK!!

I had heard of paragon bonds from reviews online, tv commercials and friends. I was a bit apprehensive as this would be our first car and was worried about insurance. Well, from the second we walked in to the second we left I just say our visit and experience was outstanding. When we walked in, the manager Ariel Munoz walked right up to us and introduced himself and his sales rep Shawn brown who gave us a test drive, worked leasing numbers that we were more than happy with and showed us the vehicle we wanted with no hassle. He didn't try to show us or talk about anything that wasn't what we wanted. Once we agreed on figures which were to die for, we met Gary Lin the finance manager. All I can say about Gary is amazing, funny, friendly and helpful! Gary made sure we got into our brand new Honda crv with amazing insurance. I can say after visiting other dealerships is that paragon Honda is amazing friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, comfortable with the lease of our first car and even made the experience easier shopping with a child with coloring books and cookies! I highly recommend this dealership and these three gentlemen!

I had been slowly researching for a perfect car for myself. I dropped into Paragon honda a few times but nothing caught my eye - and then I realized I wasn't just looking for a good car, but also good customer service. That's when I met Bark Qazi. I can honestly say he's one of the best salesman I've ever dealt with. He was patient (not pushy AT ALL) - he wasn't just trying to take my money and sell me anything. He knew my needs and concentrated only on that. I went for a specific vehicle in mind which happened to not be in the lot that day. Bark took down my info and promised to call me once he located the vehicle..and guess what? That's exactly what he did the next day. I made my way over and got the most amazing 2010 honda accord I wanted for a price I couldn't find anywhere else! And I had shopped around a lotttt! Bark really made my car purchasing experience a breeze. Thank you so much! Oh how can I forget their finance guy Alan! I don't know how long he's been working there but he was so good!! I went in with the intentions to purchase with cash but ended up financing with the great offer he gave me.. I couldn't refuse! :)And lastly, their manager Nadib (I hope I'm not spelling his name wrong) - thank you for having such a wonderful dealership with such experienced knowledgeable and patient salesman!

jose arias was great because i went to three dealers and called about seven and no one could get me the honda pilot exl navi but he promised he could get the vehicle and he did for a good price. elsie tavarez was great explaining how to work vehicle with all those numerous buttons to learn how to operate. Both employees showed courtesy professionalism and respect.

Overall, I was very pleased with the end result when I left Paragon. We did have a rocky beginning,(first time I went in there, the car I inquired about had been sold already - and no one bothered to tell me) and then when I was sold a car, it ended up being absolutely no good. But Sal and his team worked extremely hard to right their original mistake, and ensure that I was in fact a "satisfied customer". The staff was friendly and approachable. They helped ease the boredom when waiting around for paperwork, etc. I do feel that there needs to be some improvement in communication amongst the internet sales personnel and the car salesmen. I also feel that the receptionist should spend less time on her iphone when a customer is waiting for her to complete typing something up on her computer, so that said customer could leave.Most importantly, I was impressed with the team work that I saw, and even more impressed with how dedicated and Sal was to put me in a vehicle that I felt comfortable in. I just wished it had been that way from the very beginning...C'est la vie, you live and you learn. Thanks SAL SIFS! -Jessica F. ('07 Civic EX)

There is a very legitimate reason why this dealership has nationwide sales: The price. Paragon gives you the bottom line on all of its vehicles. No haggle, no hassle. No need to negotiate bogus charges. The vehicle was listed at 15K, and that's what I paid! There were no surprises. It is a car buying experience unlike any other. Me and my girlfriend caught a bus to New York from Baltimore, a cab to the subway, and the subway to Queens to take advantage of this steal. I searched the web exetnsively for a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe and Paragon had the competition beat by far. There vehicle had lower miles, was the only certified pre-owned, and was 5 to 6 thousand dollars cheaper than the competition. The best part about our experience was the service. The representative Sal Sifs was very accomadating, personable, and honest. We had a few hiccups on our way to New York and we had to keep pushing our meeting with Sal back. He never complained and he made himself available until very late. The dealership closed at 8:30pm and he waited for us until 10:15p. Where else do you get service like this!

The overall experience with Paragon Honda was fantastic. Ivonne and Joseph were both informative and knowledgeable with helping me to purchase the car (2011 Honda Accord) and Evelyn took the time to help me learn more about how the car operates before I left the dealership.Not only has the entire team been fantastic during the whole sales experience, but Ivonne and Joseph have been extremely helpful with all my post-purchase needs, which I believe is just as vital as when you purchase the car. Ivonne has been in constant contact with me, even after I purchased my vehicle, answering any questions that I may have regarding the vehicle, going above and beyond her regular duties. I will be recommending this dealership now and in the future because of the fantastic experience I had with them. Thanks again Ivonne, Joseph and Evelyn!

Sal is the man!!! He was helpful and honest about the price and worked with us to make sure we get the car. From the price, finances, and was very knowledgeable with the car and its features. If he doesnt know he'll tell and look it up. Overall pleasant experience. So if you ever are looking to get a car from Paragon Honda, look up Sal. He will not disappoint!! Thanks Sal we are new owners of a Brand New Civic Hybrid.

We own two Honda Vehicles. A Honda Odyssey and an Accord Sedan bought at Paragon Motors of Woodside, Inc. As a result I very often interact with the personnel of their Service Department.The entire staff,from the Sevice Advisor to the Cashier and everyone else working there,constantly offers a courteous,competent and professional attitude. A very dedicated Angel Cruz is always ready to provide his exceptional expert advice.This is all because the Service Manager, Mr. Anthony Petito has created and maintained an environment where Customer Relations and Customer Satisfaction are the goals. I have observed Mr. Petito entering this establishment at 5:00 in the morning. As a customer, I see the end results.I have been highly recommending Paragon Honda to all my friends and to others. Mainly because of the Service Satisfaction they are guaranteed under Mr. Petito's stewardship.

My experience with Paragon was great. I found a CRV that I wanted to look at on the dealership's website. I made an appointment and was set up with Sal. He showed me the car, which I liked, but it wasn't perfect (cigarette burns in both front seats and driver's door, missing trunk cargo and floor mats and a couple of small plastic pieces were missing from outside and inside the car. I told Sal I was interested in the car, but those items were important. He promised that he could fix everything for me. I took him at his word (and a signed IOU document) and agreed to purchase the car. I was offered $1250 for my trade in, which I wasn't at all happy with. Sal went to his manager with a number that I deemed appropriate and they matched it. I then met with Mitchell Levy who explained my financing and also offered me a Honda Care extended warranty (which also ensured a lower interest rate). I was at first suspicious about this situation (as everyone always says to never buy an extended warranty) but since it's Honda and Mitch explained it well and told me about the many benefits, I agreed. A little while later, I was given the keys and I drove off. I made an appointment for that Wednesday to have all of the cosmetic items taken care of. I dropped the car off in the morning. Sal kept me informed about the progress during the day and I picked it up after work that evening. Everything I was promised was complete (holes were repaired - they're not perfect but pretty good - floor mats and trunk cargo arrived and were brand new in the box and all other small items were installed. Sal also had the car detailed again for me, so it shined like new. Overall, a great experience for me with Paragon. Sal was professional and friendly and delivered as he promised. He was a big reason for my purchase.

We had been to 3 other dealerships. We had talked to dealers that had made promises that they could not deliver once we got there. Not only did Paragon Honda deliver, they gave us a very fair price on the car we wanted. It was below the price we had been quoted at other dealerships. Plus, the environment in the dealership is clean, comfortable, and there is an air of professionalism that we did not find at the other locations. This is a full service dealership. We were there for a long time and Ariel Munoz even brought dinner for us while we worked on our financing! Buying a car is extremely stressful. Billy Sanchez made it easy and pain free and William in the finance department taught us so much about our credit. We feel we got a very fair rate on our loan. We highly recommend this dealership when buying a Honda!

The sales guy would not give me a straight answer. He kept ignoring me and wasting time as if he wanted his shift to end. Last time I visit this dealership. They have so much area and so many cars but the sales team needs to improve.

I was in a lease with Honda, and decided to buy-out my Honda Accord. Harry Lu made what could be a lengthy process very smooth and easier than expected. He is very friendly, professional and courteous. Each visit I was welcomed warmly and was attended to every step of the way with Harry, Sam, and also Gary (Business Manager)who explained all the details and both tried to ensure I was not waiting more than I had to. The customer service was excellent and I will definitely recommend Paragon Honda, especially Harry and Gary, to all of my friends and family. Thank you for all the help, and mostly for making it all a positive experience!!

My purchasing experience was great! Richard was both friendly and professional. Unlike most salespeople, he did not pressure me and took his time with every question I had. Paragon Honda has a valuable employee with Rich and i wish him all the best. Thank you so much for my first new car! Lets not forget Rachael who was also very sweet and was extremely detailed with everything that had to be explained. This is my third car purchased from Paragon, that should say everything.

I had a great experience at the Paragon Honda dealer. I went in for service and Joel offered me to exchange my 2009 Pilot for a 2011 lease. I had a year left on my car but since the monthly cost was the same it sounded interesting. Joel found the car that we wanted, called us, we went in for the exchange and within two hours we had a new car. Everybody involved was great. Elsie showed us all the features in the new car and was professional and friendly! I don't know the name of the gentleman who printed the contract but he was professional too.I would recommend this dealership for anyone looking for a hassle free deal.

So impressed with the atmosphere of warmth, friendliness,professionalism and personal touch of everyone. The Business Manager Joseph Choi was very patient to explain the pros and cons of our credit and monthly amortization options. Very "going the extra mile" patience and genuine concern. The Sales Person that handled us, Mohammed Majumder gave me the impression of "I can trust this guy" and not just after our business. Cool and very attentive to our every question. The Delivery Coordinator, Elsie Tavarez was superb. Very well explained the features of the 2011 Honda Accord that we got. Very professional and yet very warm personality you would not hesitate to ask questions! But I think the one that needs congratulations is the Manager of Paragon Honda, Northern Boulevard, Clyde. He is an example to his people of his rapport with the customers, his sincerity and helpfulness."That spirit" is passed down to the people that we got to work with at that Dealer.I am definitely going to tell my friends and associates to get their Hondas from THIS Dealer. I will definitely get my next Honda from them. God bless you all and keep up the good work.

If you want to buy a HONDA car (NEW or USED) then go to a different dealership. People who praise PARAGON HONDA and say/give good ratings are mostly people who work their and their friends and families. I have dealt with them few times and the customer service is POOR and mangers are RUDE and abnoxious. They will alsos lie and misrepresent to you and tell you anything to rip you off. BECAREFUL IF YOU GO TO THIS car dealership.

I visited a few Honda dealerships in the past week and none of them compare to Paragon Honda. From the minute I walked in to the time my car was ready they were extremely helpful. Stanley my sales guy was professional, patient with me and not pushy like the other dealers I visited. I highly recommed Paragon Honda and ask for Stanley.

dear Paragon Honda,One afternoon a few weeks ago, I had spoke with the Sales Manager, Jason Graciano, a few who was very helpful and specific. We went into the dealership later that day and met with him, and then dealt with Ivonne Mirand. She was a pleasure to work with, and made our experience of purchasing our new Honda Civic LX a very good one. We will highly recommend your dealership to anyone we know who might be looking to buy a Honda. Well done Paragon! Great service!all the best,Andrew & Rebeca

My experience at Paragon ended up being a successful one, but it would not have been if it weren't for Sal and Joe C., who really proved to me that making me feel comfortable with the deal I was getting was important to them.After I let them know what I was interested in, Sultan and Sal showed me every vehicle that fit my criteria. They were well-informed and more than willing to help in any way they could. They were not pushy and I did not feel pressured. They referred me to the sales manager Joe with some questions that I had and he was also pleasant to deal with. I ended up buying a 2010 CRV after my second visit there.The day after I purchased the car, however, I felt like I had gotten a raw deal. This was the first car I purchased where I had to deal with F&I, and the guy really laid it on thick. I called the next day, upset with the fact that I purchased an extended warranty and an alarm that I didn't really need. Joe was able to work with me to get rid of the extras that I didn't want, get the number to where I wanted, and they were even able to get my interest rate down to where I thought it should be. This was after I had already signed the original contract. The day I picked up the car, Sal provided excellent customer service and went out of his way to make sure the car was ready and that I was satisfied.All in all, I walked away happy, and that's what matters. I noticed a crack in my windshield after I took the vehicle and Joe even had that taken care of for me without any hassle. These guys are definitely willing to go out of their way to make you feel satisfied. Recommended!

Fantastic experience ! Had visited a few Honda Dealers, till Paragon was recommended to me. From Start to finish the experience was nothing short of superb. Joe Carusone the sales manager of used cars, was a pleasure to deal with , bend over backwards to help us with financing and finding the right car. They have a happy customer for life ! I will highly, highly recommend this dealer.

Paragon Honda has a very friendly staff. They are knowledgeable. George Faccio answered all of our questions regarding the Odyssey. He was very helpful in his advice about leasing/buying. Evelin Sanchez was wonderful to go over all the features of the car. SHe answered all of our questions. She was very helpful. Thank you to all of the staff. The Bruno Family.

We bought our 2006 Civic EX from Paragon Honda. I have been taking my car to Paragon Honda service center on and off for the last five years. We like the service we receive; it is always professional. We met Anthony who manages that department. He has helped us with all our needs. The waiting room has fresh fruit, tea, snacks, newspapers and Apple computers with Internet access. It makes the waiting easier. In my last visit, my transmission fluid was changed and it cost me less than what I was quoted by my local mechanic. Volkan Akkurt

I visited Paragon Honda on July 30th 2011 at 7.30pm . I met Kevin who understood my needs quickly , showed me both Honda pilot and Honda odyssey and explained them feature by feature. I test drove both the vehicles.Negotiated the price for my old car and worked on the lease pricing for the new car . By 9.30pm , i closed the whole deal and i am the proud owner of 2011 brand new Honda odyssey with DVD Entertainment system.My overall experience is wonderful. Sales guy Kevin is great. He goes to "that" extra mile with his personal touch while selling the car. He was never pushy, he gave my own time during the drive , answered my questions patiently, worked with me carefully on numbers along with his boss Ariel even at 9.30pm on Saturday . Once the sale is over, i took the delivery on August 1st,2011 . My experience again with Kevin and Rachel ( Delivery coordinator ) was wonderful. Rachel took time and explained every feature in spite it being 9.30pm on Monday . I am very happy with my purchase and the dealership. My previous experience at Nissan dealer ship ( my old one is Nissan Pathfinder 2003) was not that great . I strongly recommend Kevin and his boss Ariel who goes to that extra mile to give the best car you need basing on your requirements.Keep it up guys.. We love paragon honda!!!.

I just have to write this review about the most beautiful, professional shopping experience that I have ever had! Angel Perez was my car salesman and I met him when I first came into the showroom at the Honda Paragon dealership. I had jus had a very bad experience with another dealer, so I was trying to be optimistic. Angel took me very carefully through the features of the Honda Accord, answered all my questions, took me out on a test drive, and then I told him I wanted the car. I was not planning on leasing that day, but he was so professional and just like a real friend that all my fears melted away. Everyone at the dealership was really friendly and helpful, but Angel was extra special. Then I was taken to the finance department where I met Joseph, forgive me Joseph, I do not know your last name, Korean Joseph, and he took me very carefully through the numbers and all the paperwork, which is considerable. It would be easy to get lost and not understand, but Joseph kep a good pace without rushing, which is really important. We also had a great conversation about other things the whole time! Then I was taken to Elsie Tavarez who looks like she stepped out of a Renaissance painting and she took me very carefully through the use of all of the features on the Accord. It was over 90 degrees, sweltering hot, and we were on the sun side of the building, but this did not phase Elsie. She turned the car on, ran the A/C, and prodeeded from there to train me. What an excellent teacher you are Elsie! I went back to Angel who had tons of paperwork to do too and the afternoon twirled away. I felt included, important, informed, and trusted. I know nothing about cars, but learned alot and I am know very interested in learning more. I feel very appreciative of the professionalism that I encountered and I think these great people should all get raises! O.K. Boss, are you listening? I hope so! ssoo, Karen King

Camila was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional, honest, and sincere. Camila was understanding to my situation and worked to the best of her ability to complete the process and get me driving that day! Even though I told her initially that I was just looking (who's really just looking? that is what the internet is for), she had the patience to show me around and not disregard me because I wasn't in the market for a more expensive car. The general manager was also a complete professional and an enjoyable pressence.

Horrible Dealership. Will not sell to out of state. They advertise on the internet but must fly in to buy the car. I do this all the time where you buy a car without actually being at the dealer and then wire money to them and then ship the car. Wanted NO part of it. Not impressed by the dealership at all.

I went into Paragon Honda after contacting them through the Costco buying program. I spoke with Rachel who gave me a price quote over the phone. I went into Paragon the next day and met Ivonne and Evelyn who helped write up the deal. Everything I spoke with Rachel about was written up and saved. I had the contract written up and signedin about 10-15 minutes all while being offered coffee and warm chocolate chip cookies.My husband could not believe how quick, easy and pleasant this transaction was. Ivonne told me the car would be in within 1-2 weeks. She said it would probably be sooner but she did not want to promise anything in case there was a delay. Well within three days the car was in. I went to Paragon and picked up the car. Aman was great to deal with in regards to financing. Elsie showed me all of the features on the car and really took her time. She asked if I had any other questions and left me with her days she worked and number to reach her at if I had any questions later. THANK YOU PARAGON FOR BEING TRUE PROFESSIONALS YOU MAKE CAR BUYING WHAT IT SHOULD BE A GREAT EXPERIENCE.THANKS AGAIN

This is the worst dealer experience I have ever had. The dealer Andrez Sanchez at Paragon Honda in Queens, NY was so disrespectful and un-professional that he kept me and my wife waiting for over 3 hours without helping us with anything. He would come and talk to us for 30 seconds and then disappear for 20 minutes (He was apparently such a good salesman that he was dealing with 3 customers at the same time). After a hurried test drive and asking us for the color we wanted for a new Honda Odyssey, he excused himself for 2 minutes again, came back 20 minutes later and gave us a price quote which was $5K higher than what the internet sales person had told me. The said price was $3K higher than MSRP on Honda's website. By this time we had been completely and utterly dissapointed (we spent 2 hours on the road driving to Paragon) and decided to walk out. Before walking out I told him how bad our experience but there was no shame for his behaviour or concern for a lost sale (I was planning on paying cash and buy the vehicle immediately). To top it all he told me before I left that they did not have a vehicle in stock and the one I had just test driven was already sold. His internet representative had told me they all the vehicles and colurs in stock. Best part is, I bought my first car from them. I could not believe this is how they treat their repeat customers. Try your luck but do avoid Mr. Sanchez.

After my first two trips to Paragon I vowed never to go back. After speaking with Joe (the sales manager) he apologized, admitted they'd made mistakes and was determined to put things right. So I gave them a third chance Third time is a charm! I went to see a car today and it was a totally different experience from my previous visits. The car was ready on arrival, I was test driving it within a few minutes and they sales guys were really helpful. I saw a different side to Paragon today and I was impressed. One important difference with Paragon is that they seem pretty honest and clear, with regard to pricing. The price you see is the price you pay. There weren't any nonsense fees that I've encountered at other dealerships.

They make promises that are not kept. I was told I would receive a referral check of $250 and was given a run around and then told it was too late. Also, they said they sent a key chain that i'm still waiting for and it's been a year already. Scam artists. There are better places to go to.

Maintenance: pay for the maintenance package and spend 1 day to change oil. Need service: don't call unless you want to be transferred to all extensions and no one can help... they will handout on you without helping. Then, take a message and no one calls you back... I love Honda & Acura but hate "THE" Paragon experience. I don't lie... just try yourself... worst ever service... and misleading when making deals.

We went to check the Honda Odysee and to compare it to the Town and Country. After going for a test drive, I asked Stanley for a price for the car that I am interested in. I also told him that I will not make an immediate decision to buy because I want to check the Town and Country first. He took all my information and went to his manage for 5 to 10 minutes and came back and told me that I should go check out the Chrysler car and then come back to him because his manager needs a lot more time to figure out a price. He also said that he knew I would return to them. Sorry Stanley and Mr Paragon manager, I bought the Town and Country that afternoon; Thanks for making my decision so much easier.

Dealt with Olivia shin today looking for a honda civic, she was very repeative and not so knowledgeable about the stocks and Specs, We told her we had a budget of ~12k, she kept wiggling her way up to the Civic ex-l model. she then said let's not waste time, when we asked for rock bottom price, when she came back from speaking to her manager she said 16650, which is NO Discount at all and insisted that's the best price it's the same exact price on the internet, what kind of discount is that? we then wanted to look at other models in the price range, and she kept nagging us constantly to come back into the office. what a horrible experience.

I bought a used car and they called me to see if everything was ok with the car. After a week, the car turned on a service light, I called the sales representative Camila Carusone and she gave me an appointment for the same day to check the car and the repaired in a couple of hours. Excellent service.

Having my vehicle services at Paragon is always a pleasant experience. From the minute I arrive, I am greeted by name by my service adviser and am taken into a comfortable waiting area with remarkable amenities. All work is explained to me in detail and nothing is done without my permission. Pricing is very reasonable and the quality of work done is top notch. My service adviser, Edwin C. is a true gentleman and treats me with courtesy and respect. The manager, Anthony P. is an asset to Paragon. He does an outstanding job at coordinating the service department and is always willing to chat with a customer. It is truly an honor to deal with such professionals at Paragon Honda. I have been going to Paragon for the past four years and will definitely return in the future.

Called to see if the used Honda Fit advertised on the internet was still available. They said it was. Drove from New Jersey more than an hour to see it. Then they said they sold it last night and there was a 24 hour delay on the computer updates -- would we like to lease a new one? BS. Left extremely upset. I'm guessing the positive reviews are plants. These guys have no scruples.

Camilla was incredibly helpful and really went out of her way to get me as much info as possible on the car I wanted. Joe, the manager, gave me the best deal I could've gotten on the car. No nonsense, no haggling. He went online and showed me what the car was going for NATION WIDE and then dropped the price by quite a bit. Honda certified is the way to go and there isn't another dealership with the selection paragon has. I will be a loyal customer for a very very long time.

The staff at Paragon Honda are extremely wonderful. Jack Palumbo (unfortunately no longer working there) was wonderful at helping me out with my first new car. Justin the manager was very kind and mad my experience there great. The both of there were very helpful with helping me find a new car that fit my budget and mad trading in my old car a breeze. I had to bring the car back for some service. Both Dino the Operations Manager along with Susan that works in service were GREAT!! They treated me as if i bought the most expensive car in the world. Service was fast and efficient. I will deffently be dealing with this dealership again weather it's to buy a new car or just having it serviced. Thank you to all at Paragon Honda!!

I went to Paragon Honda on May 25th 2011 hoping to buy a certified Honda Civic. I had checked online the vehicles I was interested in to make it easier on the dealer and myself as well. Camila the sells rep verified that the vehicle I was interested the most was still available. She even walked to a different lot to make sure the vehicle was available. The price of the vehicle was the same as advertised online. Therefore, no switch and bait as other dealers do. Camila prepared all the paper work and had the vehicle ready for delivery in approximately two hours. Her personality and professionalism made the deal a pleasant experience. At no time there was any pressure in closing a deal. She made sure I was completely satisfied with the vehicle and that I was getting the best deal possible.Joe; Camilas manager called me to verify that the service provided was to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Paragon Honda and I will certainly go back when in plans to obtain a new vehicle.

This Dealer is scammer and lier, they'll unauthorizedly add insurance product to your total financing amount without your permission. Below is the letter I sent to their Corporate Office regarding this terrible dealership.Content of the letter:To Whom It May Concern:Im writing to tell you about my recent terrible Honda car purchasing experience from a Honda Dealership. This is not the only Honda car Ive ever owned, but Im sure this will be the last one Ill ever be purchase from your dealership.Little over a month ago, I purchased the 2011 Honda CRV from your dealer, and went through financing process. After I received my first statement last week, Im surprised that the amount showed on the statement was totally different from what Ive original agreed upon, it was inflated nearly $5000. Then, I found out that few insurance and service products was unauthorizedly added to my totally bill, which Ive never been told about, nor Ive ever agreed to. Yesterday, I went back to dealer; the manager Steven Zhang admitted that the financing personnel named Mr. Huang who unauthorizedly added insurance product to my total financing amount was fired due to recent increased complaint against Mr. Huang regarding similar fraud activities (complaint from other customers whove experienced similarly as mine). However, the manager Steven Zhang refused to refund the unauthorized amount of $5000 and refused to take responsibility of his fired employee (Mr. Huang) with a nonsense excuse of since Mr. Huang was fired, so unable to verify this transaction with Mr. Huang. Although Ive repetitively informed the manager Steven Zhang that Ive never agreed to purchase any type of insurance or service product, nor my intention to keep any of these unauthorized insurance or service product that have caused me nearly $5000, the manager Steven Zhang still remind silence, nor making any effort to remove unauthorized insurance or service product from my bill.This is ridiculous and irresponsible service Ive received in my entire life. Im furious about the fact that Ive been scammed $5000 just because I relied too much on your dealership to purchase the car.Dealership information:Paragon Acura Honda Paragon Motors Of Woodside, Inc, Paragon Honda 5602 Northern Boulevard Flushing, NY 11377Phone: 718-507-5000Manager: Steven Zhang (whos irresponsive and have done nothing to solve the problem)Financing Personnel: Mr. Huang (who processed my vehicle financing, and got fired)Im now respectfully demanding a response within 7 business days to my email address (congxoathotmail.com). In the mean time, Ill also fill my complaint to BBB and New York State Attorney General office, as well as reporting to consumer protection board regarding this shameful action for defrauding customer.Im sure Im not the only one who has been defrauding by your company. I reserve my right to take any legally permissible action available to me if the problem does not resolve in a time manner.

We made a deal for Honda crv ex 4wd and paid downpayment $2500 the next day when we picked up the car there is no car and said the car will be available next two week. They did not say they do not have a car in hand. And said they will use my Downpayment as a deposit money. I said I need the car in hurry If you do not have car just cancel my deal. They do not let me cancel and threaten me if I cancel it, I will not get my downpayment back. This is radicious and I will call police. The sale manage said rudely "call police. Even called FBI they did not care". What type of service they offer to customer what a shame. They do not apology to customer because of no car. They think that they are doing the right thing. I feel like I have been discriminated.

This is the third vehicle I have purchased from Paragon Honda and each time the experience has been fantastic. Great staff and good communication throughout the process. They worked very hard to find the vehicle we were looking for (Odyssey Touring Elite in Red!)and successfully delivered at a price no one else could come close too. The owners of this dealership are true professionals and I have found the same to be true of their entire staff. If you're in need of a new Honda I would recommend you contact Jonathan Camacho to discuss, he will provide you excellent service and work very hard to get you the car you need at the best price. My thanks to all those at Paragon that made my purchase a very pleasant experience, including all the service techs who installed the requested accessories. Paragon Honda is a great dealership because of its people and the service they provide. Thanks again to Audrey, Elsie and Jonathan!

Bought a new Pilot EX-L w/nav from Paragon a few days ago and found them to be excellent. I have quite a bit of experience in buying/leasing vehicles; many more transactions than the avg. consumer. I rarely write reviews, yet I found that this positive experience, deserved one. Despite the large volume that this dealership does, the business/dealership is managed and organized well. Their pricing is competitive, as well.I called Sales Manager Justin Hili before visiting, and despite being quite busy with his managerial responsibilities (many salespeople/much activity to manage), he took the time to work out the quote and lease with me (in detail). In general, I found that he kept his word, there were no hassles, and we were treated well. Thank you Justin Hili for an excellent experience!Salesman Harry Adler is pretty new. He had a pleasant/helpful attitude throughout. Additionally Harry was respectful of our time, when he advised us to postpone our scheduled meeting with business manager to the following day (due to heavy volume and potential delays). Respecting our time was no small matter!Cristen, although not directly involved, tried to be helpful in several ways (although there was no direct benefit to him). He should be commended for this.There was a dedicated product specialist-(great idea!) that explained the vehicle in detail to my wife. She (Elsye) was also most accomodating when we looked over vehicle and pointed minor things...JUSTIN HILI IS THE REASON WE ULTIMATELY WENT WITH PARAGON. Both he and dealership are legitimately deservant of the 5 star rating given. Thanks!

I was referred to this dealership by a personal friend, and oh boy do I owe him. My wife and I were treated with the upmost respect and customer service that I have had at any dealership. Juan Crespo was the sales rep I dealt with, he was not only knowledgeable but very respectful. He went above and beyond of how I expected to be treated. He made it his goal to get me what I wanted at the price I wanted. The Price I got on my 2008 Civic was spectacular! The mileage was extremely low, and he helped me get it even lower. Juan Crespo definitly knows his business. Jason Graciano the Manager was also an awesome guy who put put a lot of thought in what my family needed and got me to work with Juan. Paragon Honda is an awesome dealership and I suggest anyone in the market for a used car, try these guys out!

I looked around all over Delaware for a slightly used car for my son who recently graduated from college. The prices in Delaware were too high for what we could afford, so we made the trip up to Queens and saw Hasib (sales agent) and Joe (sales manager). Paragon Honda has a very large inventory of Certified Hondas with very low mileage! Hasib was friendly and courteous. They gave us an amazing deal on a Certified 2009 Honda Civic LX-S with 30,000 miles. I will definitely consider driving from Southern Delaware up to Queens in the future. WORD OF ADVICE: This dealer does a huge volume of business (it is apparent with all of the customers and busy sales agents), so if you look on the internet for pricing, don't anticipate the car to be there very long, especially with the deals and pricing that they are making! Go into the dealership, know what you are basically looking for and make a great deal on a used Certified Honda. Thanks for taking the time to read my review.

I was in the market for my first car purchase and after doing my homework and research, I decided that it had to be a Honda due to the reliability and longevity of the brand. I saw an internet ad for a certified pre-owned Civic that was located at Paragon Honda that was at a great price w/low mileage so I went to visit the dealership in person. I was greeted by all of staff but it was the manager, Joe P. that ended up helping me along w/Camilla C. (who took me to different lots in the rain). Not only is Joe completely genuine, but he doesn't have that aggressive salesman pitch that is associated with car dealerships. Although the car that I was initially interested in was sold, based on the same price point and model, he looked through at least two databases to find something that would meet my needs - while managing his staff, taking calls and closing other deals - and reviewed each finding with me. I have to admit that Paragon has an amazing inventory of cars that are in great condition WITH low mileage so there were many cars to choose from but Joe found the perfect one for me. I ended up w/a certified pre-owned '08 CIVIC EX-L NAVI and I am so happy!!! But to top it off, I got it below the sticker price w/a lower financing rate than what my bank offered (thanks to Glenese) AND they even secured insurance for me all w/in the same day!!! I couldn't have asked for a better, solid and pleasant experience as a 1st-time car buyer than what I received at Paragon Honda and not only have I become a committed costumer but I have already recommended Paragon to my friends and co-workers. I would tell anyone to go there, even if youre not in the market for a Honda because trust me, youll be converted!

I'm SO HAPPY with my new 2011 Honda CR-V EX. From the moment I stepped into the showroom I felt welcomed. I am a little paranoid about getting taken advantage of but Andres Sanchez was very knowledgeable. He took his time to explain my different options. I was able to test drive 2 different models and I didn't feel pressured. This was the first time I was getting my own car and he made me feel very comfortable. He was able to work with my budget and I was able to get the car that I've been dreaming of! I don't remember the name of the finance person that helped me but he was a big reason why I was able to lease my new car. I thank him so much. He went above and beyond to try to stick with what I wanted. Evelin was very warm and friendly. She showed me all the features that came in my new car. She was very patient and answered all my questions. Overall, Paragon Honda was the best first experience for me. I was able to drive away in my new car that same day! I am super happy with everyone that helped me. I felt like family. PARAGON HONDA IS THE BEST!! I WILL BE TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT THEM! =)

I was very pleased with my experience at PARAGON HONDA. The three people I dealt with...Andres Sanchez, Joseph Choi, and Elsie Tavarez...were all knowledgeable, courteous, helpful, and professional. What really made the total experience of leasing my new HONDA CR-V stand out was the way these three individuals complemented each other perfectly as a team. Through his continuing efforts, Andres Sanchez was able to obtain the exact model and color of the CR-V EX-L I wanted. This was not an easy task because of the limited number of HONDA autos now available due to the recent earthquake in Japan. This earthquake has resulted in a temporary decrease in the production and supply of HONDA vehicles, limiting the number and variety of HONDA vehicles available for selection. Andres put in the extra work and effort that made my dream car happen. Joseph Choi made me comfortable during the financial transaction phase including the paperwork portion leading to the signing of the lease. Joseph managed to make me feel relaxed during the financing process in a totally professional atmosphere. Elsie Tavarez made me feel as if delivering this CR-V vehicle into my hands was the most important thing she had to accomplish. She made me feel at ease as she showed me the many features on my new CR-V and how to operate the controls so I could drive the vehicle home safely. Elsie was very patient in answering my questions. She also told me to call her anytime if I had more questions about the CR-V EX-L. I can see why PARAGON HONDA is a very successful dealership...it has the best people working there.

I found the sales agents team very helpful. As this is my first car lease, I found valuable guidance from the beginning. Mr Justin Li and Mr. Sang Lee helped me tremendously to pick the right car for my needs, and also got the car ready in a timely manner. Ms. Evelin Sanchez showed me all the car features in detail.Overall, the experience was wonderful. Would certainly recommend 'Paragon Honda Dealership' for future buyers.Best of all: I got my first brand-new Honda Civic 2011.:)

Leased a 2011 Honda C-RV just a few days ago, so this review may be premature (and brief) regarding ongoing customer service, but I will follow up here in due time. However, the sale/leasing of the vehicle went quite well with Ariel, as did the pickup of the vehicle and technical tutorial two days later with Elsie. Next stop will be Paragon's service facility visit to pick up a late arriving optional item and an extra valet key, and a revisit with Elsie to go over again the vehicle's technical features with my spouse.

I came in to this dealership with every intention on just "asking questions" about the new 2012 Civic. A friend of mine had told me about a promotion that was on to get $2500 on top of the kbb value so I figured it couldn't hurt to see what the numbers looked like, Shawn was very helpful & professional needless to say I ended up trading in my 2009 civic for the 2012 it is even more fuel efficient than my 09 very happy customer.

Went in for a nationally advertised lease and found salesman a bit pushy by trying to get me to lease the next model up rather than the base model which i knew i wanted. He finally gave up and got me to give him a down payment on the lease. Now my overall experience was good because I got what I wanted with very little problems, but the reason I won't give 5's across the board is because I think I may have gotten screwed on the lease terms and price, now I realize I should have been a bit more prepared, but I just don't like when salesmen pretend to do what's best for you, but really they are doing what's best for them...........Anyway, I think I may have paid a little more than I should have for this lease.....I should have shopped around, so I guess some of the blame should be on me........Overall, it was a good enough experience.....

I found a great price on a car and went down to Paragon Honda to check it out. Great price and good car and the dealership was more than willing to fix some minor issues. After purchasing the car, I felt like an annoyance after dropping my car off to have some minor issues fixed, they promised me that it would be ready the next morning because I needed for work and after coming the car was not ready and I had to wait an additional 5 hours. I do not live in the area so this was frustrating waiting in the showroom having to listen to the manager belittle the staff in front of me for hours on end. It has been almost 2 months and I am still waiting for my license plates, repeated phone calls and no answers. This is very frustrating. This place is good on making the sale but be warned if you have to deal with them on items after the sale.

I visited two times to this dealer and bought my new car. It was very pleasant to have adequate and correct information about the car and price. I had checked price in internet and dealer agreed to my price. All the sales persons were extremely cordial. Tanim Tayeb was great and he was extremely helpful. I took me really very little time to have my car. This was possible because of team efforts and their professionalism.

Upon the recommendation of friends who had recently purchased a new Accord from Paragon, I stopped by to take a look at its selection. To my surprise, the same salesperson whom they had raved about, Naz, was the one who came to my assistance. Naz had a perceptive way of anticipating my questions and concerns. Any apprehension and feeling of being overwhelmed by the setting were assuaged by the capable manner of my salesman. Due to his courteous nature, I immediately felt comfortable, and was surprised at the fast pace and smoothness of the process. Evelyn was also a great help by explaining the functions and features of the vehicle. These comments are in contrast to a prior experience I had at the Honda location on Hillside. The aggressive salespeople and unpolished atmosphere forced me to leave right away.I feel confident that the price I paid was fair, and appreciate being dealt with so honestly. Not only this, but my salesman went above and beyond in ensuring my satisfaction. I remain with only positive memories of this experience, and intend to recommend Paragon and Naz to those whom I know are in the market for a new vehicle, and look forward to returning in the future.

Just picked up a NEW Honda Pilot from Paragon Honda and my wife and I love the car! The staff at Paragon is second to none! This is my second car purchase from Paragon (Bought a brand new Civic from Justin Hili in 2003). As a new, young family we came in with a strict budget; Justin Hili and George Faccio were able to put us in the car that we wanted...with a few extras for our daughter! Justin and George took the time to cover all the possible options for finance for us. As well as, educating us on what would be best for our growing family. Paragon Honda has never failed to deliver from the moment you walk through the door. Even picking up the car was a smooth transaction as Evelin Sanchez went through the entire vehicle with all the special features. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with all of our questions.I cannot truly express at how satisfied and pleased I am with dealing Paragon Honda. They are always out to please every customer..and they haven't failed me yet! I recommend anyone with is looking for a car to stop into Paragon Honda. I guarantee they will not let you down!!

Paragon Honda by far was the best experience I've had yet! Naz, the dealer on the floor, was very helpful and informative regarding car price, quality, and assurance. He made us feel as if he was getting us the best deal possible. He made sure to search every venue for what we were looking for. And it didn't take all day to do it! By the time we made a decision, the paperwork was drawn up and we were driving away in our new car within the hour. He even got his hands dirty putting on the new plates with our custom frames and helped me transfer my stuff! Evelin, the person who handled our delivery, took the time out to sit with us and show us all the features on the vehicle. I never had to open a manual! She sat with me, showed me how to work the car, and then stood as I tried it on my own. I have leased cars before and have never had this kind of customer service. Paragon Honda has VERY high quality customer service and I would recommend everyone visit this particular dealership. My hope is that you get Naz and Evelin for the great experience we had!

I was looking around for a Certified Pre-Owned Odyssey with the right options/mileage/price. Paragon had a big inventory, and one vehicle in particular I was interested in that was very aggressively priced compared to the rest of the market. I scheduled a visit a few days in advance. Three hours before the appointment I called to validate that the car was still available and then I made the two hour drive down. Upon getting there, the salesperson walked me around the lot while we looked for the vehicle. Turns out, the vehicle was in the "shop" getting a "paint job". I had called three hours before, they knew I was driving from CT, and yet they failed to tell me the vehicle I was coming to see wasn't available. I tried to not let the trip go to waste, so I looked at some other similarly equipped Odysseys. I looked at three others; 1) Car #1 had paint on the leather seats that clearly wasn't coming out, 2) Car #2 had so many dings and scrapes on the paint it looked like a tank, and they were not willing to repair the car, and 3) the third car had a few dings, but overall was in pretty good shape. The price was much higher than the Odyssey I was coming to see despite having the exact same features and even higher mileage. Turns out that vehicle was in an accident, which I won't purchase. At this point I'm pretty annoyed, so I say "Let's talk price on the vehicle getting the paint job". I'm told they won't negotiate, or even show me financing options, without a deposit. I've never even heard of other dealers doing this, and none of the others I went to required the same thing. At this point I asked the salesperson to let me know what condition the Odyssey I came to see was in when it got back on Monday and to give me a call then.I never heard back from the sales person. Between that, the pricing not making any sense given other similar Odysseys, them not telling me the vehicle wasn't there, and the mysterious paint job, I'm fairly convinced the vehicle doesn't exist and it was a classic bait and switch to get me in the door. Even if it did, the bad communication, quality of cars, ridiculous deposit requirement, and the lack of a call back is plenty to put this dealer on your "Do Not Consider" list. I purchased a similarly priced Odyssey elsewhere and am very happy with that decision.

I have visited Paragon Honda more than once over the years and each time my I had a terrible experience. Except once, that was dealing with Clive.My latest experience was this past weekend. They pass me along to one of their sales people and shortly after I started to realize it was going to be another horrible experience. This person acted with arrogance and questioned my ability to afford the vehicle I wanted (2011 Pilot Touring). He actually acted as if he is above me, not knowing that my bonus alone is double the price of their Pilot. Anyway...I ended up walking out without getting any ounce of service.If you are a savvy car buyer, this is not the place for you. I feel that they would rather target unknowing customers walking through their doors. I have bought many cars in my time and have dealt with many dealers...PARAGON HONDA IS BY FAR THE WORST.If there is any reason you need to buy a vehicle from them, ask for Clive. Not sure if he is still there.

We recently had a warrenty issue with a 2009 Honda Accord. Paragon Honda didn't agree. They wouldn't fix the car under the warrenty, insisting that we pay for the work!. The first few people that we dealt with in the service department were very unhelpful to say the least. We finally talked to Anthony Petito who helped to resolve all of our service issues immediately. The honda was fixed within 24 hours. We are happy with the service that we received at Paragon Honda and would definitely go back.

Paragon Honda is definitely the # 1 dealership. We walked in on a staff meeting and they did not hesitate to take care of us. Jeff Katz - Sales Consultant was the best. He was so professional, courteous and friendly. First, we sat down with him so he could assess our situation to see what we were really looking for. After that he took us out to the lot and let us look at as many cars as we wanted. He told us to take our time, not to rush, he was very accomodating to our every need. He got the keys for 5 different vehicles and really let us thoroughly check them all out. Once we decided to compare 3 of them he took us back inside and worked everything out with us. He said we would leave with a car that day and we sure did. I cannot say it enough - his customer service was impeccable. I would recommend him to anyone.

Sal worked the whole day without eating making sure the whole way that I got what I wanted. He was very upfront about every detail of our deal. He listened to what I wanted and worked tirelessly to make sure that everything that could be done to make this deal work for me was done. I really appreciated his patience and commitment to helping secure the right deal for me. I definitely would recommend not only Sal, but Paragon Honda to a friend looking to purchase a car. After all was said and done, I really felt like Sal and his colleagues that helped me really focussed on what I was looking for. They met all of my criteria and worked many different scenarios until the right deal was found.

Late saturday nigth my wife tells me: the information panel on the dashboard of our two month old Odyssey beeped and flashed "Low battery see manual". Now it's sunday morning and I'm thinking: now where do I go? I looked up on the Internet to see if there is any dealership in the area that has a service center open on sunday and found out that Paragon Honda service is open on sunday. I showed up with no appointment,and within less then five minutes I was approached, I stated my problem and was being helped by a representative named Anthony. He had my car checked out, assured me that there was no problem at the moment then had the panell reset and told me to just brink the car back for servicing if the problem arose again. All of this and within half an hour I was on my way back home. (Did I mentioned it was sunday morning and I had no apponintment?)

I have been from one dealer to another.Then, i decided to visit paragon honda, this suraj matthew entertained us and was very helpful with our needs.I told him directly what i wanted and he was very accomodating. William liang has given me good price that fits my budget. they did not try to take advantage of me. It was a good choice to come to buy in paragon honda. I love my honda CRV. it was a great choice with a good price. The bad side is when you try to call them and ask about some important details on what to do with the maintenance or whatever reason over the phone, they cannot be reach. You have to see them personall, which is on the other hand is not very appreciative. So i suggest if you are buying something from them, ask them on the day you have transaction with them. But with the pricing of the car and the whole deal of the car alone it was okey.

The three people that I have dealt with from Paragon Honda was quite adapt at making the buying experience a pleasure. Olivia Shin was very accommodating as is the case with her manager Sam Lee. Evelyn was thorough in explaining the features. She even helped with the bluetooth setup on my phone. Overall, I would recommend this dealership, especially the three sales professional that I have had the pleasure of dealing with.

I have been dealing with Paragon Honda for almost 4 years now and I must say they are the best Honda dealership you can deal with. I called Paragon Honda and spoke to Justin Hili, the sales manager and told him what my wife was interested in buying. I went with my wife and Justin hooked us up with salesperson Ariel Munoz. I must say that that Ariel is a prime example of what a salesperson should be. He was very informative, professional, courteous and on point. Justin Hili and Ariel Munoz got us a great deal on my wife's new Civic EX. Justin is also a prime example of what a professional sales manager should be. Ariel made sure that the whole deal went smoothly. Ariel also made sure that upon picking up the car all was well. He explained to my wife all the features and accessories. I will definitely be referring my friends and family to Ariel.

First and far most was the professionalism this team displayed. From the moment I walk into the dealership, one by one each team member had me to feel welcome and very special. The experience and knowledge in what they were showing me, had me also to feel safe in doing business with Paragon Honda. What a great pleasure I had in buying my new car. Five's(5) Across The Broad. Thank you! Ariel Munoz, Sales Consultant Elsie Tavarez, Delivery Coordinator Clive Johnson, Business Manager Joseph Choi, Business Manager

David munoz is a very professional and knowledgeable salesman.He deserves many kudos and compensation for the hard work he puts in. He exemplified the best customer service I have experienced. I have been a Honda owner for over 15 years an have previosuly purchased all new vehicles from yonkers Honda. I cannot even compare the difference in my dealings with them to dealing with David munoz of Paragon Honda.I have found a new Honda dealership and would recommend it highly!

I bought a 2007 Certified Pre-owned Honda Pilot. My sales person was David Munoz, I was skeptical in the beginning of the sales process (there are so many stories about used cars salesman out there) David told me from early on that there would be no stories and that he would make sure i received everything he promised. When I picked up my truck this was the case, I got a great truck at a great price.Thank you David

He was Very pleasant and patient. Took care of our requests as needed and as much as possible. Able to answer how the car functions and how the buttons work. Didn't beat around the bush went straight to business with our decision. Let us drive the car as comfortable as possible to get a real feel of the car.

I would not be writing this review had it not been for the unbelievably great experience I had in Paragon Honda. First off, I had a very easy day to start with Jonathan Camacho meeting me outside and taking care of parking my car and getting right into the details of getting me into a new car (which I really didn't expect at all!) I had a lot of hesitations of getting into a new car since I had a very bad experience, or nightmare I should say, when I got my first car from Hillside Honda. This time, everything was exactly opposite of what I experienced from my first purchase - the ease of getting the deal done, the comfort and convenience of the location of the dealership, the friendliness and honesty of John and Gary, the superb friendliness and fun orientation to my new car with Evelin (which I didn't have when I got my car from Hillside Honda) and the very reasonable waiting time to get my car done and ready to drive with. I didn't have to have my expectations set up high and not being met; I was never disappointed with all the wants and needs I had, and I didn't have to come back and forth just to get a new car. Everything was definitely, definitely AMAZING. Thanks to Jonathan and Gary. I came into the dealership with only hopes of getting a nice quote for getting a new car, but at the end of the day, I drove home my "dream car" and Paragon made it happen.

I went to Paragon Honda just to compare the price with other dealership but the energetic and lively environment there left no doubt in my mind about doing bussiness overthere. Mr William Liang and Mr Andres Sanchez gave their best services and we bought our drean car from there. Mr Liang went extra yard to make things much better.

My mom was looking to trade in her 05 Honda Accord for a newer more luxury model. Decided to check out some pre-owned Accords on there website. They had a really nice, 08 Accord EX-L for a great internet price. Being that I work in the car business, I knew how certain things went. We made an appointment to see the car, and I was a little apprehensive that it would actually be there, but it WAS. It was just as nice in person, as it was online. When it came to the price, I understood how the internet pricing worked before hand. It actually suprised me that not only was the internet price low and REAL as posted as online, but we paid no other fees, other than the tax. Sayed, made everything so comfortable and easy, that I was really surprised I didnt catch him in any of the usual dealer bs. We ended up driving off the dealership, paying nothing out of pocket, and having her payment go up only $30. She was more than estatic, and loving her 08 Accord EX-L. Sayed thanks for a fast, easy going experience.

Being the third vehicle I've bought over at Paragon, I didn't expect anything but the best. My last visit was great. Any and all questions/concerns I had were answered and put at ease instantly. I was thoroughly explained all details of my financing as well as all the features to my beautiful Pilot Touring. Joel and Evelin made the whole process as smooth as can be.

Suraj was great salesman. He provide friendly, warm service and listen to all my concerns and requests. He and the entire location made me feel important. At the end of the deal, I actually came out with a better offer than I expected. Rachel did a great job of informing me of everything regarding the vehice. I left the dealership feeling very informed and that I could contact with any questions/issues in the future. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a new vehicle.

This is the second time I've leased a car through salesperson Victoria Patterson. She's knowledgeable, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. She's not a high-pressure salesperson; rather, she educates you and helps you make the decision. Elsie demonstrated the features and functionality of our new car. She was very instructive, warm, and friendly. She spent a lot of time with me and answered all my questions.

I haven't read any other reviews here on yelp, frankly I don't compare myself to anyone else because a lot of people use review sites to complain about BS because they don't have any better place to get vengeance. That said. I just bought a used car from salesman JUAN CRESPO. If you want to go into a dealership and avoid the standard sales crap and pushiness and the "techniques" then come in and see him. We haggled for about 3 minutes and I got a great price on a certified used honda fit. A great experience. Evelyn gave me a guided tour of the car that I really appreciated, she also helped me out with all the DMV paperwork. I was called by him personally after I got home to verify I was happy with the car. Their customer service department called me twice to ensure I was happy and to ask me if I had any complaints. In addition, Evelyn called to verify that everything went great and to ask if my Wife was happy with the car. Talk about service!!! Excellent. I NEVER write reviews and I am not only grateful, but I actually felt COMPELLED to leave this review. I hope this review will give you the right idea of where to go if you need a car, especially a honda.

He answered all of my questions and did his absolute best to get me the best deal possible. I am very pleased with my experience and love my new car!I highly recommend Paragon Honda and Mr. Ariel Munoz.~Francesca Farruggio

I was in need of a new or used car, i was previously driving a 1998 honda accord that had over 220,000 miles on it already ..and breaking down every couple of months. My credit is not good at all and i decided to give it a shot and go for a certified used honda car. I heard of paragon honda dealership and drove up to check out inventory, a sales rep named jeff katz approached us showed us the inventory and promised i would not leave without a car, and so that day he worked tirelessly ..nevertheless i left paragon honda with a 2008 accord with 56,000 miles on it (beauty) good price $15,999, payment as low as $279 monthly car payments and insurance payment of $306 monthly full coverage. I cant begin to say how patient,dedicated and hardworking Mr. katz was. I would recommend this dealership to anyone and everyone but most of all would recommend Jeff katz as the man to see.

STOLEN CAR ....This is the most unprofessional, rude, incompetent dealer i have ever dealt with, and I have been leasing cars since 1996. The OWNER?? - BRIAN IS NOT A MAN OF HIS WORDS. This all started when I took my 2006 accord EXV6 for service on Jan 2..I returned on Jan 3..my car was STOLEN...YES..STOLEN from the DEALER (PARAGON HONDA DEALER SERVICE DEPT)...it was a huge mess to get this fixed but finally their insurance agreed to pay off the balance of my loan..so I went to the dealer this past mon(feb 16) to lease another car...i tried getting a deal first with the salesman...then tried sasha(general mang)..sasha was extremely rude...did not want to work a deal out with me...i asked him what were the owners names and he refused to tell me but as i was walking out the dealership, he got the owner(brian) to talk to me...owner-brian worked out a deal for a pilot (320 per month, 3500 total out of pocket-included all fees and downpayment)...i then told the salesman i will come back by the end of the week for the deal...I went today feb 20...i was at the dealer for 3 hrs waiting to get the deal done...finally the salesman took the offer that i got from brian to a sales manager-shawn michrandani...when michrandani saw the deal(320, 3500) he was suprised and said "this is ridiculous...there is no way we would be losing out like this..i have to run this by brian"...he came back and then said "brian never told you that...brian said the 3500 was only a down payment..you still have to add tax, destination fee, bank fee, prep fee, document fee, dmv fee)...i informed him that brian is now lying and hes not a man of his words...shawn michrandani then said leave the deal if you dont want it...I left. I would think that after a dealer lost you car ( stolen), they would actually try to help you or be polite to you. These guys at paragons are nothing but D!Kheads...rude and unprofessional...DONT EVER BUY/LEASE you car from them...I had contacted HELP ME HOWARD when their insurance company was giving me a problem..you can contact HELP ME HOWARD at CKOVACHattribune.com if you have any issues with this sorry

I got a great deal from Paragon Honda for a 2010 Honda Accord. My sales was Suraj Mathews and he took good care of me and got me the deal that I wanted. He was friendly, extremely nice, and honest. Stayed with me the whole day until the car was delivered to me. Also Elsie Tavarez, who was the delivery coordinator helped me with setting up the car and got everything ready for me before the vehicle was delivered. She was also extremely friendly and helpful. Overall, I had a great experience purchasing the car from Paragon Honda all due to the two person that works there, Suraj Mathews and Elsie Tavarez.Thanks guys,Guang

I recently bought a 2011 Honda Pilot at Paragon Honda. From the moment I walked in the door, to the time I drove my car off the lot I was treated with utmost respect, courtesy and professionalism. My salesperson Ivonne Miranda was very honest and helpful, and guided me through the process quickly and efficiently. Before we drove off the lot Elsie Tavarez showed me everything I needed to know about my new car. She was so knowledgable about the car and patiently answered every question I had. Buying a new car can be a difficult task. But these two people made it enjoyable. I would highly recommend Paragon Honda to anyone.

I visited several dealers in the Long Island City area to shop several different car models. The Paragon Honda Dealer was the best by far. Mr. Ariel Munoz, my salesperson, was friendly, professional,courteous, knowleageable and best of all was not pushy. I decided to do business at Paragon Honda as I was also quite impressed with the Honda CRV that we chose. Ariel Munoz and Paragon Honda will be my dealer of choice from now on.Sonia E. Ruiz

My visit was a complete waste of time. I saw a car on the website and I asked if the car was still available. They told me it was, and we made an appointment for later on in the day to go see the car. When we got there, we were told that the car was sold that morning. Although the salesmen conducted themselves in a professional manner, this whole incident was completely ridiculous and a waste of our time.

As for any dealership, the experience is great when you leave with a new car from the lot. The sales agent was cool, and patient. Was not trying to rush me to sell me the car. Took my hand and walked me over to the loan officer. Very polite. As you walk in the assistant greets you with a smile. and all the agents make u feel like you've known them for years.

This is my first car and I am very grateful to have Suraj, Paul, and Evelin who are very knowledgeble, helpful, friendly, and most of all, honest individuals to help me. My first time leasing a car couldn't be easier. I am very satisfy with the help I received from them. They actively search for good deals for me. Suraj took it upon himself to help me search for the best insurance quote even after the leasing transaction is all completed and done. He follows up with me on the rate he has find and put me in contact with good hands. Paul is also very helpful and knowledgable. He has helped me saves thousands and I am truely grateful for that. He brought in his colleague to further explain to me on leasing subjects that I am not that familiar with. Evelin is great in explaning every single function of the car to me. She is very friendly and very good at following up. Thank you guys! Thank you very much for all of your help! When I'm ready to buy or lease another Honda car, you guys are surely the ones I will come back to!

Our experience with Paragon Honda was wonderful from the moment we walked into the showroom. The staff was not only helpful, but extremely patient as we made decision about our lease. Our salesperson Billy Sanchez was polite, honest and informative. The Sales Manager Rafael Rodriguez was very pleasant and understanding of our need. After bad experience at other dealership with dishonest and rude salespeople, I was very careful and suspicious, but it was great to see totally different approach: no harassment, no pressure, no sales' games. The Business Manager Paul Vilcia was excellent as well. He was friendly, knowledgeable, explained all possible scenarios and treated us like a premium customers. All parties involve in our deal went above and beyond in making sure we were satisfied when we left with the new car. We will definitely come back for future purchases and also would recommend Paragon Honda to anyone who wishes to get an honest and hassle free experience from a very professional staff.Thank You, Paragon!!!

On December 10, 2010 I bought the 2011 Honda Odyssey EX-L. I want to thank the folks at Paragon Honda for making the purchase of this new vehicle a pleasant experience. My first contact with Paragon Honda was through the internet. Tiffany Martell, the internet specialist, provided valuable information through her e-mails before I visited the dealership and after I purchased the Honda Odyssey. The salesperson, Jose Blanco, was very patient with me. He answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns always in a professional manner. Gary Lin, the business manager, was great in providing expert financial guidance so I was able to finance the new vehicle with comfortable monthly payments. Last, but not least, is Evelin Sanchez, the delivery coordinator. She did a great job in explaining all the features of the new vehicle. She did not rush this process and made sure that when I left the dealership I did not have any questions unanswered about my new car. I would not hesitate to recommend this dealership to any of my family members or friends.

They are a company of complete professional, which is rare to find in this day and age. I live 10 minutes from Plaza Automall but use paragon without giving it a second thought. Brian has made me a customer for life. By the way Brian's assistant Rachel Brand is on top of her game in an industry that usually takes the fun out of purchasing or leasing a new car.Best RegardsJeffrey Coven

This is my very first vehicle, Ariel and Paragon Honda made the process very simple and efficient. I will no doubt return to Paragon at the end of my lease

I just purchsed my 2nd car from Paragon Honda, a beautiful 2011 Honda Accord EX-L V6 in a White Diamond Pearl color with Navi. The main reason I went back to Paragon Honda was hoping that Justin Hili was still there because he was the salesperson I dealt with back in 2008 when I made my first purchase of a 2008 Honda Civic Si in a Fiji Blue. Justin Hili is very professional, courteous and caring person. The sale of my Accord was a satisfactory experience thanks to Justin and Dino Marshall. They go above and beyond to make sure you are a satisfied customer. I recommend Paragon Honda to all my family and friends. I will be going back to Paragon Honda in January 2011 so my fiance can purchase a New Civic EX or Accord EX that should wants to buy. I look forward in dealing with Justin and Dino real soon. I just want to extend my gratitude to both men for taking care of me as a retrun customer. What else can I say?Justin Hili and Dino Marshall, you guys are AWESOME!!! Thanks again.

I traveled from out of town to purchase a used Nissan Altima. I was greeted by a friendly man named Jeff Katz. I told him exactly the which car I was looking for, and that I had seen online for price "XX,XXX". We went to go look for the car and went for a test drive. When we came back in, we started discussing the price, and asked me if I had a print out of the price that I had seen online, bc now the price was 2,500 more than the price I had seen online a few days ago. I said no, but I have emails showing that I discussed the price with a member of the Paragon team. Without any questions asked, Jeff and the manager wrote me up a bill of sale for the original, cheaper price because if a salesman told me a certain price, they stand by their words. I was very impressed and for a few days after I bought the car, I had phone calls from the dealership just making sure that everything with the car was going well, and if there was anything else that i had questions about or needed. It is true what everyone writes about Paragon Honda, they really do care about the costumers, and aren't trying to mess anyone over to make a few dollars. I really trust them, and would recommended them to my friends and family.

The staff at Paragon Honda were extemely friendly. My salesman, Mr. Angel Perez was a great help in deciding what car would best fit my needs. I have leased numerous cars over the years, and have always dreaded the time spent on haggling and negotiating with sales personal. The last two leases from Paragon went very well. I left with the feeling that I got a good deal; and as a consumer, thats always a good feeling. AS for the delivery coordintor Ms Elise Tavarez, she did a thorough job in explaining all the features on my new car. I would definetly recommend this dealer to anyone looking for a good car at a reasonable price. Mike W.

Great customer service and good price! I enjoyed the experience. At first, I was a little hesitant to travel to New York from Jersey to buy a car. Most people advised me against it or to be careful since cars sold in New York are usually more abused then those from Jersey. However, my experience with Paragon Honda and my new used car proved everyone wrong.

Absolutely the dealer to shop. I went in because I was close to the end of my lease, I wanted to finance my '08 civic but after consultation with Jose he made good sense as to why it was better to walk away from my old car and walk away with a 2011 Accord. Please note this meant an upgrade to a bigger car and lower monthly payments what a SWEET DEAL...... Gary the finance guy was very thorough and helpful in going over the numbers with us and I indeed walked away smiling,there were no surprises. Is this for r-e-a-l ?????

Joe was great he worked with me to find a car that I would like and he even went as far as giving me his cell number in case I needed to contact him about a car I was interested in. Joe is a straight up guy and I would recommend anyone to go talk to him.

This has been my second time around buying a used car and I have to say I cant compare the experience. Its a huge difference from the workers the atmosphere it was all great. I am very satisfied with my car and how everything was handled. I will definitely recommend Paragon Honda to my friends and family.

Abdul, Shawn and Evelin were absolutely top notch as it pertained to understanding my needs and solving any/all concerns to result in a great used car purchase experience. I would highly recommend these individuals at Paragon Honda. Even after the sale was completed and the car was picked up, the follow up to resolve a few remaining items I had was prompt and friendly.

I went into the dealership with the intention of financing my 2008 Honda Pilot (orginally leased from Potamkin Honda). I called in to Paragon, as it is my new dealership and spoke to a woman named Jennifer who was very nice and professional on the phone. She set my appointment up with Mr. Ariel Munoz. Ariel met me at the door when I arrived and was very curteous, professional and anything but intemidating. My family was with at the time of the sit down and he was very welcoming of them as well. We sat down and I explained to him what I wanted to do and why and he gave me a good explanation as to why it was better to lease a new vehicle rather than finance my old one without a down payment (confirmed later by financial numbers). He worked a good deal for me on a 2011 Honda Pilot EX-L with Navi! The sit down with the financial person was however, upsetting. There was never a mention of sales tax being included in monthly payments. The person raised my monthly rate by about $60.00 per month. At that time I was ready not to sign by Ariel came back in and pretty much saved the day. So please, make sure there is clarification with EVERYTHING. Other than that, I had a pretty good experience with Paragon Honda. I recommend.

We had a great experience at Paragon Honda with James. He was warm, friendly, confident, and great to our kids. We are a family of 5 total and we were there for over 4 hours and James made my kids feel at home and welcome. He was honest and very helpful in getting us the Odyssey we needed at the right price. James was enthusiastic but knowledgeable about Honda for someone who was new. We were lucky to purchase our car from him. As well, we thought Elsie was great too!

Buying a car can be challenge for many. When working within a budget and attempting to get the best deal possible in a recessive economy makes the challenge even more demanding. But, thanks to Mohammad Rakib, I was able to land on a very good buy at an affordable price. His patience and understanding made the challenge less daunting. My indecisiveness over which vehicle to buy coupled with my tight budget was remedied with great adeptness. Mohammad and I spoke about various options including the possibilities of different financing options. Even on his days off and holidays, Mohammad was still busy at work, maintaing contact with me and doing research. In the end, we were able to come up with just the right combination - a car that I really like at an price I can afford. Mohammad is a great sales person. I will see him again when it's time to buy a Honda Pilot. Oh, by the way, even if you are not satisfied with hub caps on your buy, Mohammad will take care of that too. lol. Will recommend.- carlton

My first experience with Paragon Honda,was when I called their customer service department. The customer service agent was very polite was not pushy, and she asked me question to verify the exact type of vehicle that I was looking for, during our pleasant conversation we scheduled an appointment to visit the show room. When I arrived at the show room,the receptionist had already had my name and provided me with a sales consultant by the name of James Bosworth.Consultant James, was very friendly he inquired what type of car I was looking for and if I had previously driven a Honda. I told him that I had a Honda Civic for over 10, years and was very satisfied with the car.However, my intentions was to lease an Accord.After explaining all of the features of the car(Accord), James had me test drive an Accord. During the test drive, he continued to provide me with additional safety features of the car including the warranty. I was hook on the Accord but because of my credit score, my monthly payment would have been more than I could afford at the time. James told me that he was going to consult with his business manager,William Liand to attempt to assist me. I spoke to Mr.Liang, who was also very pleasant and after working the numbers he suggested that if I chose a Honda Civic, my monthly payments will be lower. It took many hours to arrive at the payment that I would be comfortable with but between the consultant James and business manager Mr.Liang, I able drive out with a new 2011 Honda Civic,and never once was I pressured to buy the car instead,I was given good and realistic financial advised by a team of professionals who sole purpose was to please the customer. To impress me even more,I had arrived at the dealer with another car so once I had obtain the Honda Civic, I had no one to drive the other car.Consultant James volunteered to drive the other car, I drove my new Civic and James followed me to my residence in the other car. I was impressed and pleased with the service I received at Paragon Honda, it's a very friendly environment and I will definitely recommend this dealership to my friends.

I never thought I would write a positive review for a car dealer, but Paragon Honda is the place I will recommend to all my friends and family. The employees at Paragon are courteous, professional and fair in their negotiation. Jonathan Camacho is what every sales associates should strive to be. He made me feel very comfortable and he was super honest. Evelin Sanchez (Delivery Coordinator) was also very impressive. She attended to all my concerns and during the time I waited for my vehicle she made me feel like I was at home amongst friends. At the end she took the time to explain every feature in the car and showed me how it operated. I have never received this type of service from any dealer. I have to say that getting a new car was a whole lot of fun and not as stressful as it has been in the past. William Lians, the finance mangager is super nice guy. He talks to you like a person and not like someone he just wants to charge an exuberant amount of interest. He was honest when discussing the credit score with me and explained the new FICO auto score in a very professional and "non-pushy" manner. I did not get aggravated at all throughout the whole process. Just keep in mind when you buy a car anywhere, you will have to be patient, after all they are processing all your dmv, finances and delivering the car to you (sometimes from another dealer). Everywhere I have leased or purchased a car, required waiting, so make sure you take the day off work when you decide to purchase/lease a vehicle.

Leasing/buying a car can be very stressful...intimidating......chaotic....annoying....you choose the word.Paragon employees Ivonne Miranda and Elsie Tavarez made a very stressful and somewhat chaotic situation as pleasant as it possibly could have been. Gracias.

We initially met with a new sales person who while friendly was not as knowledgeable about the vehicle as we expected. Mr. Graciano stepped in and provided us with all the information that we needed. He negotiated fairly over the price and went out of his way to secure some changes that we wanted in the car.The only downside to Paragon is that it can be difficult to find a parking place within a few blocks. I've used the service center as well and you do have to line up very early to secure a spot in line to have your car serviced. If you are only going to the parts department finding parking will be difficult. My wife was particularly impressed that there were several women sales persons on the floor so that buying a car didn't feel to her like going to a mens club. It's also good to see the rainbow of New York's population reflected in the entire staff. Quality of service and a commitment to equality can go hand in hand.

I was greeted at the door, and Jonathan was warm and inviting. He listened to our needs and worked with us to figure out the best fit for what we were looking for. He didn't try to over-sell us, and we felt very taken care of.Also, he took charge of all the details, and walked me through them all.Jonathan was very helpful. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Great Great Dealer......I am so impressed. My wife drives the car and never noticedthe noise in the front end.....but the mechanic that work on the car did, thank God....it was a serious problem...and without fixing it , it could have been serious.I guess this is why you should never neglect your car and stay on top of servicing.And always use the best mechanics.....its your family .......as my wife saidsThank you Paragon Team ..Happy Hoilidays

This is good team of people.They don't haggle a lot but offer up a good deal. They're courteous and overall you'll feel like they're paying attention to your needs.My only comment would be know your financing options before you go in. I was shown two options totally through Honda financing. First i was told that the going rate would be 9.34 with total interest payments of around 7K on a 12K purchase. This was compare against a 'special' offer to buy Honda care and bring down the rate.My bank later told me they could have financed the car for 4.9% saving me quite a bit. I was also told by several people that the dealer should have really explained other options and definitely asked me about my bank. This was my first car purchase so i was a little naive.I feel a little ripped off in the financing area but i should have done my homework so that's not Paragon's fault. But, it would have been nice to have been offered up my bank financing as a option. I just got swept up in the moment. The financing part has soured me a little towards the process but i will know better next time.Know your financing options before you go. Take the time to walk away from the table and ask around if this is the best deal for you. I really wish i had done this.

When i went to buy my honda pilot, I was looking at the car in side and out side then Mr.Suraj Mathews approached to me and asked me if i did need any help. My answer was yes and he explained me everything from the car itself, the engineering. the benefit, to the financing option.He was very friendly and looked very honest to me the way he was explaing me everything. End of the day I was happy with his explanation and I madea deal.After I bought the car Ms. Evelyn Sanchez showed every single details about the car. She answered all my question about the car.I wish them success.Jamal M. Mir

Jose Blanco was referred to me and now I see why he's an excellent salesman. I actually drove away with a car I hadn't even considered. And loving it!!! On November 5th I had gone to Huntington Honda to trade my car in that I had bought there 3 years prior I had thought being that I bought my privies car from them , they would take that into consideration and at least try and give me the best deal possible, I finally left a deposit but with hesitation. Upon waken up Saturday Morning I made the decision to go and just see what Paragon had to offer? And I drove off with my New Car right off the showroom floor. Also I must say they make all customers feel important from start to finish., with Jose, Jonathan Camacho also with the Finance Manager Joseph Choi and finally last but not least Elsie Tavarez (Delivery Coordinator) was amazing and took her time in going over all the details of my new vehicle and making sure I understood how to use everything, she also took time and helped me even store names and numbers in my Navigation system. She's definitely is an added bonus to the company. I would highly recommend this dealership to my family and friends. And look forward to Honda number #3 in three years and I will be going back to Paragon Honda.

They give you a good price and then screw you in the financing. beware of giving a deposit or taking the car with a down payment before the financing is fully approved by the finance company. The will "approve" you in the showroom only to call you a day later that your loan was rejected by honda finance. then they will offer you outrageous finance rates, if you decline they will not give you your down payment back, if you want to leave the showroom with the car to arrange for finance from a different source, they will threaten to call the cops. so basically either you accept their finance rate or leave the car and your down payment and hope you get one or the other later. stay away from this dealership, its big but it seems it has made its money by coning and cheating customers. you will feel uneasy as soon as you enter the dealership, i did and I should have trusted my guts and left, but instead I "struck a deal" with them and had a traumatic experience.

First of all, when I first stepped in the door, I was greeted with a warm, friendly welcome. I was offered a cup of coffee (a couple of times) while waiting for paperwork etc. to be done. A Mr. Sayed, who was my salesman, was very, very nice. All while there, I was treated more like part of a 'family'. I didn't feel so nervous anymore....especially when purchasing a 'USED' auto.But the most exciting part---- was the auto that I purchased!!!! Not only did it look 'new' on the outside AND the inside, the price that I paid for it,(with the taxes and all) was UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!. I really couldn't believe my eyes!These guys really have great cars there! Couldn't believe these cars, etc. was 'used'. And the way I was treated...taken to the car and 'introduced' to all the inside features by Evelyn was very appreciated. I truly left there with a smile.(smile).I'd recommend Paragon annnnnnny day of the year.

Last year I bought preowned certified Honda Accord from Paragon. Last week when I started searching for new car I again went to different dealers in NY, NJ area. The prices they quote and inventory they showed, made me think to visit Paragon again. The staff there was very courteous, they satisfied me with their inventory and price they ask.I am completely satisfied with their sales and after service.

It's always good to do business with hardworking people who are looking for people's best interest at heart.

We came to Paragon Honda in search for a new vehicle to replace our current 2009 Altima. The sales representative Billy Sanchez was very helpful in identifying the vehicle that best fit our budget. He was very patient with us since we were in a tight budget and required a very 'structural' deal. His manager, Ralphie, was extremely kind and facilitated the sales process very well. From what we saw, Billy was more concerned with our happiness rather than his commission he was going to make from the sale. We called him day and night and each time he would answer the phone with the same enthusiastic tone. Our finanace manager William Liang, treated us like human beings rather than a 'numerical figure'. He catered to our needs and was sensitive to our current financial situtation. Each time we went to the dealership we were treated with respect and dignity. Not only by the sales staff that we were directly dealing with but with all sales staff on the floor. Elsie Tavarez, delivery coordinator, was very comforting, even though we hadn't closed the deal yet. She comforted us and told us, 'We at Paragon Honda are committed to serving our customers and when you are determined to get something you will get it'. And that is indeed what they did. When we weren't getting approved for the loan we needed to purchase our new car, the finance manager Joy, came into the picture to assist. They ended up adjusting the price of the vehicle to adjust to our 'limited budget'. The total process took about 4 days but in the end it was all worth it. The day we drove off in our new car, 3 different sales people came to us and congratulated us on the purchase and how the wait paid off in the end. I feel like I am now a part of a new family, the Paragon Honda family. (P.S. their little cafe area is AMAZING according to my 8 and 4 year old!!)Sincerely,Proud owners of a Honda Accord EX-L 2011.

I had picked 11/6/10 to visit several dealerships: Honda, Subaru, and perhaps Toyota. Little did I expect that the Jonathan Camacho would present a great offer for a Honda CRV-LX 4WD. He was professional and thoughtful throughout the whole process. The thrill was to drive out that same day with the plates, financing, insurance all set for our new Honda. Elsie Tavarez showed us all the new features of our 2011 Honda (we were actually looking for a 2010). She was so patient, cheerful and made the process so easy. I would recommend Paragon to all my friends.

He was just the kind of guy I like to do business with. He is honest and straight to the point. His Sales manager was a pleasure also. This is why I have always recommended Paragon to friends and family. Keep up the good work and remember being honest does get you sales!!!

On 10/26/2010 I headed out to Paragon Honda in Woodside just based on Consumer reviews (which were excellent) off of Google and select inventory I saw off the Internet...Upon arrival I was greeted Shahadat Hossain. I briefly described what I was looking for and we went to work. I knew going in, it wasn't going to be easy due to not the most spectacular credit history...I had done my research and pretty much knew what to expect. I first test drove an 05 Nissa Altima which fit into my budget...I liked the car and was willing to negotiate. After running my credit, the finance man ( I believe his name was Chaudry) told me very honestly and directly that Honda wouldn't finance a nissan for me even with what I was willing to put down...3500-4000...Shahadat at this point talked to me about other options that didn't fit my price range...He asked me to wait and give him time to search for a certified Honda that fit my budget (Honda would be willing to finance their own car)...Needless to say this wasn't easy...I totally understand the job of the salesman is to make money...But the way Shahadat went about his business was first class and with total respect...I never felt uncomfortable and being that I was off from work I was willing to see...After about an hour of working the phones and the lots Shahadat found a 2007 Honda 4 door Certified Civic...I was willing to check it out...5 minutes later we realized the car was Manual and I wasn't interested...At this point I was ready to depart, but Shahadat again with first class treatment asked for more time...Little did Shahadat know I was in the market for a Coupe and thats what he found..2007 civic coupe certified...gray with about 31000 miles...perfect...We then went back to the finance manager who was busy and asked me to give him the night to set it up..'no problem'..2 hours later Shahadat I received a text from Shahadat telling me that the car was mine to pick up the next day after 5. I arrived at 5 the next day and the car was ready...I had thoughts in my mind about payments, and although they weren't met...they weren't crazy for somebody with my credit...plus all this car has to offer...warranty etc...after a very honest a good talk with Shahadat and the finace manager, it was time for me to drive off...At this time Evelin Castillo (customer service) introduced me to my car and all it had to offer giving a very thorough run through of the car...Evelin was polite, detailed and very helpful with any question I had with the car...even after i sprayed her accidently with windshield wiper fluid...I was eager to drive home and was very appreciative to all involved...The point here is that even in sales people can still act like human beings with class and respect...And thats what I experienced the whole time at Paragon...and don't fool yourself...if your credit is not great, your going to need cash to put down...simple as that...I look forward to going back when I'm ready for something new...

I went to Paragaon-Certifed Used and the experience couldn't have been better. I financed my CR-V and Sal my dealer was so great to work with. Very honest and verrry helpful. When I found the CR-V I wanted I addressed a few issues with the upholstery of the leather and some issues with the tires that needed to get corrected and I was a little worried he wouldn't follow through with everything. BUT HE DID!!! with MORE! He gave me free mats at the end and installed them for me. The manager also gave me a full service for free because I couldn't leave with my car the same day! David at the end who gave me my tour of the CR-V was just delightful and explained everything I needed to know about my car with extra tips! Look forward to working with Paragon Honda! THANK YOU GUYS SOOO MUCH!!! :)

I was satisfied with the purchase of my first car, but after purchasing my second car at Paragon, I am beyond satisfied! Both Eddie and Mike were EXTREMELY helpful, resourceful, and honest through out the whole process. They had answers to all of my questions and were assuring. I went in to discuss refinancing options, and left with a better model and at the best price for me. I would definitely recommend Paragon to anyone looking to purchase!

My wife and I were just shopping around at other dealerships in queens, getting pricing done and just looking around to see what we liked. We entered into the Paragon Honda dealership not expecting anything. To our surprise we were greeted respectfully by Jose Louis Arias. He was genuinely friendly and gave us the time and space to search around. Mr. Arias was very helpful and knowledgeable about cars in general. His passive approach was very much appreciated. My wife and I looked at a 2010 Honda CRV LX model. Once we asked about the pricing of the vehicle we were presented with an offer we simply couldn't refuse. The process was quick, thorough and had a no pressure atmosphere. We recommend Jose to anyone interested in a good quality car with great rates. (Hey I just recommended my father too!!)

I went to the certified lot in search of a car. I have never financed or leased a car before. I have only bought from independent owners. I was a bit nervous and didn't have any idea what to expect. I wandered the lot for about 15-20 min before anyone approached me. This was the first lot I had ever shopped in and was surprised that no one seemed interested in checking to see if I needed assistance. Too bad for them because I was there with my old car title and checkbook in hand, ready to buy. When someone finally did approach me, I explained that I wasn't much sure how to go about this process and I needed a little guidance. I asked the salesman what my options were and he asked me what I was willing to spend. When I told him, he told me "you can spend more than that". When I said that was all my budget really allowed he kind of scoffed at me and said if you really wanted to you could spend more. This immediately turned me off. He didn't suggest a smaller car or leasing or to check their regular used lot. I said, wow, well I guess I can't afford this. He said probably not and walked away. I was disgusted, discouraged and disappointed. I left with an aversion to the whole idea. After an encouraging conversation with a friend I decided to try again elsewhere. I went to Plaza in Brooklyn and had a completely different experience. Not only did I get a car, I got a new one instead of used and only ended up paying slightly more than I mentioned to the Paragon salesman. This place was rude, unprofessional and I would not recommend them to anyone.

I had an appointment with Ivonne this morning to discuss leasing a new CRV. When I arrived I expected to wait to be seen. Ivonne was ready on time. She greeted me by name and immediately made me comfortable. She knows her business and wasted no time in getting me setup exactly as I wanted. I leased a new CRV. She didn't waste my time with BS. I must also give big kudos to Elsie Tavarez. She was responsible for delivering my new vehicle to me. She explained every little detail about me new vehicle. An amazing personality. I recommend that anyone thinking about visiting Paragon do so by making an appointment with Ivonne. You will not be disappointed. Both the woman could write the manual on customer service.

My experience with paragon honda was overall very positive. I worked with Lisa in purchasing a Honda CR-V and was given very professional and friendly service. Additionally, I appreciated the flexibility in the pricing as the final price paid for the car was within my budget. The car runs beautifully and was sold in a practically mint condition.

As a female, I was not thrilled about having to shop for a car by myself, but just had to do it. I went to Paragon, and from the moment I walked in I was pleasantly surprised by how nice and relaxing the place was, and how professional and friendly everyone was. I worked with Victoria, and she was just great. She explained every step of the way to me, and helped me chose the best options for my situation. I didn't feel pressured to sign anything. The finance manager was also very professional and friendly. I left the place very happy, I love my new car, and I would sincerely recommend Paragon and Victoria to everyone shopping for a car.

I always wanted a Honda and I got it! My dad and I went in to Paragon to just look around but we drove away in a car! Andres gave us great information on the car we were interested in. He took us for a test drive and gave us confidence of being able to finance this car. He informed us so well we bought it. Joy was great too. He worked with us on numbers and extremely informative with warranties, payments and credit reviews. Elsie in the pouring rain walked us to the new car and was great informing of the features of the car. Once to my dad and then to me. Elsie was great in calming my nerves too of sitting in my new car. They were excited along with us!! Honestly, everyone at Paragon is great. Even just waiting, people are asking if we need anything or just saying hi welcome to Honda. I am definitely referring people to Paragon! Thanks guys!!

The team addressed above was very communicative with us and were very determined to work with us. Despite our persistence, they all were very patient with us assuring us they were doing the best they could, (especially Joe). We are very grateful to have come accross a great team. We currently live in the Bronx, but, in the end, the trips all the way to Woodside (Queens) ended up being well worth it. Thanks again guys. You are were great and we would DEFINITELY recommend this dealer to someone else.

The quick training provided by David Pena was very informative as we replaced our old CRV for a newer one. He was very clear and very helpful in showing the features of the car we recently purchased.As for the wish list when going to a dealership- it would be helpful if the sales people had a list of financing options available and they could go over them with the people deemed to be serious buyers.

I recommend this dealer as it works great with poor credit as well as with your budget. They made it possible to get a car.The staff was very friendly. Easy to reach. They return phone calls and everyone works quick and around your schedule. Working hours are also great. The manager was very helpful and friendly. He did not have aproblem lowering a vehicle price in order to ensure that I got the car of my choice. They have good connections with banks. It was a good experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to others. The cars are also good quality and they make sure that if you have any problems, you can take it to honda service.

I purchase my car at Paragon Honda and I really recomend this dealer. The service that I recived by Naz was great. He was really nice, he gave me a good deal even took me to baby's R us to buy a car seat for my son. They really care about customers, how to make them happy and satisfied and I am one of them :) I believe every sales person at Paragon Honda is profecional as Naz and i really recomend him. I had a gerat time dealing with people at Paragon and I wish everyone could have such a good experiece as i did. Thank you Honda, even more Thank You Nazmus Khan !

As a first time car buyer I was a little aprehensive about the process, after visiting the dealership and speaking to MR.Shawn Brown I am now confident that I made the right choice for my first car. Shawn was very professional and detailed when explaining the features of the car and made me feel comfortable with my purchase. I believe that I will remain a loyal Honda Customer.

From the minute I walked in the door Jose showed courtesy and respect. I was looking for a car that provided safety for me and my family and I was looking for a car that my family would be confortable in. So Jose Recommended the New Honda Odyssey which was the perfect car for me and my family. Jose also knew that this would be my first car and knew I would love it, which I do. I will be more than proud to recommend anyone to Jose and paragon Honda. I would also like to add that Jose and did spend extra time showing me the features ony vehicle.

The salesmen Joel Abreu, was great and really help me in every way and was extremely satisfied with his experience and I did not feel pressured at all like one would usually when buying a vehicle. I will recommend anyone thinking of buying a Honda to buy from Joel Abreu and Paragon Honda.

After contacting numerous dealers in my area I found Ariel Munoz at Paragon Honda, to be the most responsive, professional and willing to work with. He understood my fears and gave me very honest answers to all my questions. I would highly recommend him and Paragon to anyone shopping for a new car and try to steer them towards a Honda! Needless to say I am extremely satisfied.

I was treated like family by Jose and the other sales associates at Paragon Honda. Jose explained everything about my car to me in detail, and was very patient. This was my first car, and he took extra time out to show me all of the details of my new vehicle for my own safety. You can tell that he cared about me being truly happy with my purchase, and he did everything in his power to make me feel comfortable and satisfied with my new car. I would recommend going to this dealership and asking for this particular sales associate because he makes the purchase of a vehicle a pleasant and less stressful than usual experience. He actually gained my trust, and I have to say that I am very content with my purchase!

WE WENT TO SEVERAL OTHER DEALERS TO REPLACE A LEASED VEHICLE. THE SERVICE GEORGE GAVE US WAS FAR BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. THE LEASING AMOUNT IS SAVING US MONEY OVER THE LAST LEASE. THIS IS THE SECOND CAR THAT WE GOT FROM PARAGON. THE FIRST WE BOUGHT.

My wife and I went into Paragon Honda dealership to looking to purchase a Honda Pilot. We were greeted immediately, unlike other dealerships pick and choose who they want to greet. We were very please with the service. Even other sales people was friendly toward us. Naz was very helpful, and patient Joy, the finance director, was a true professional. Explaining everything to us, in detail. Overall, the level of customer service at this establishment was above and beyond, a trait that deoesn't exist anymore.

This is the second time I have bought a car from this dealer and I am very pleased. Ms. Vanegas has always been very helpful and efficient. She made me feel welcome and at ease. She answered all my questions very deligently and to the point. She is very professional and knowledgeable. I rated the price as a 4 becuase I guess you always wished for a better price but I am not dissatisfied with the deal at all. I will definitely recommend this dealer and Ms. Vanegas to anyone who would ask me. I'm very satisfied with my CR-V and would come back to this dealer if I needed to.

Hi, i have just purchased a 2011 honda accord today. A salesman by the name of David Pyo was the perfect agent. He sat right by us and gave us deals we could not reject. He guided us step by step on how we can manage the car and even stood there by our side while we were going through a financial agent so that we may understand better.I could not be any happier with my purchase today. David Pyo, a man of patience and a great sense of customer service deserves a 100%. Too bad the highest i can rate is a 5. Today he has earned himself my respects. I will be more than glad to refer any of my friends to this sales rep. Lets not forget about Elsie. She has taken me outside in the pouring rain ( of course she had an umbrella prepared for the both of us ) so that she can guide me throughout my newly purchased vehicle. She carefully explained how my car worked and what the new features of my new accord was compared to my older accord. Paragon Honda greatly exceeded my expectations today. Danny Pyo is the perfect salesman for anyone.

I had an amazing experience with Ms. Clara and Ms. Victoria. They helped keep my son entertained, offered food and drink, and most of all treated me as a member of the family, not just a customer. The time and effort Ms, Clara put in showing me several bricked was very much appreciated and I woulf highly recommend her to friends, family and co-workers.

I was working with Jose since I was looking for a CR-V. He was very helpful and understanding that I was on a budget, Jose gave me figures based on how much down I would need and what the actual prices and term would be best for me. I love the professionalism Jose had and how fast all my paper work was done and ready to sign. Once I decided on the car I wanted it was order even before I was done with my insurance. Jose promised that within an 2 hours I would have my car and be out the door which was true. Then his co-worker Elsie Tavarez helped me understand all the functions of my car. I would recommed anyone I know to Pargon Honda and advise them to actually speak to Jose who is with you all the way and does not pressure you to purchase a car. He will listen and will actually take his time to speak with you without rushing you to buy something if you feel you are not ready for. I love everyone in Pargon they made it so easy for me to decide to purchase a Honda.

My experience at Paragon Honda was quite pleasant. I met with a salesman Naz Khan, who was quite an informative and helpful guy. He was also pretty charming, and was able to get me interested without having to "bully" me like salesmen have in other dealerships. He showed me the Honda Civic, and gave me a rundown of the pros and cons for the car for my lifestyle. I was put into a good car for a good price, and I couldn't refuse. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff experience was great (shout out to Elsie and Rachel). The finance department did whatever they could to help me, and I think thats where people think it gets tough, but their information was straightforward, fast, and have the ability to complement your decisions about buying the car or not. This place is great. I think many of the people who have been posting reviews about this place are incorrect - or maybe I was just lucky, but either way, Paragon Honda is a dealership I'm going to come back to again.

Paragon Honda went the extra mile to ensure my happiness in my recent vehicle purchase. It was by far the best experience Ive had at a car showroom. Not having much experience with cars, I was a little weary about what to expect, the kinds of questions to ask, and the overall process in buying a car. However, to my surprise, Nazmus came across as being extremely personable and was able to understand my situation almost immediately. He was courteous and knowledgeable about the cars and deals they had going on. He went out of his way to explain everything to me, as well as provide me with reasonable options. I am very happy with my new car, the exceptional customer service skills, and the effort Nazmus and his management team put into making this work for me at a very fair deal. Kudos to Nazmus and his team for making this experience an enjoyable one!

Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Paragon Honda has been servicing my cars (even non-Honda cars) for years. They always have my car ready when promised. And they call me if they have any questions. They shuttle me to work and shuttle me back to pick up my car when its ready. Always a pleasure ! Anthony is the BEST!

I went to Paragon honda in Woodside New York and i just wanted to comment on the great service that i recieved by Nazmus, Rachel and Elise. They helped me in every way they could about my inquiry on purchasing a car. They were very friendly and came across as though they really did have my best intrest in mind at all times. I was very delighted to see when i walked in such nice people to help me finance and choose a car that is right for me. I would recommend this dealership and especially these sales people to anyone reading this and my own family and friends.

My lease on my 2006 Acura TXS was coming due and I needed to return the vehicle as well as lease a new car. My main concern was not to spend all day processing my request. I was very pleased that attention was paid to me and they made sure to finish my request as promptly as possible. I was happy the 2010 Honda Accord that a requested was available and for a good price. They coordinated the day with me in order to make my purchase as painless as possible. This is my third go around with Paragon Honda, dating back to 2004 and because of this pleasant experience I don't see why there won't be a forth. Thank you. Manuel Arocho.

The worse service I ever had. If you want to be ignored and mistreated, go to Paragon Honda Woodside Parts Department. I have a Honda Ridgeline, my wife has a Honda Civic and most of my friends have Hondas. Honda is been recognized as a top brand not only for its durable cars but also for its great customer service. Today, I changed my mind about its customer service when I went to the parts department just to request some "rubber blades" for my cars. What did I say? rubber blades, well it seems that the part department person does not know what that is. His name is Kelvin and after making fun of my request he corrected me and with a very bad attitude he said: you want an "insert". I said to him that every time I want those rubber things for the blades I ask for a rubber blade, he kept on having his bad attitude and said that I was wrong, I needed some "inserts". After feeling as an ignorant I decided to not buy what I was looking for and leave this place, he did not even care and called up the next customer. His attitude irritated me since I do not want another customer to be treated like this any more. I decide to call a manager, he did not even paid me attention, I almost had to scream requesting a manager until someone from the back came over and presented as the manager his name was Paul. I asked him that I wanted some rubber blades for my cars and he did not understand either, he said you want some inserts, I said to him I was not sure of the exact name of the part but it was the rubber thing that comes with the blade, he said that those things are called inserts. Finally, I got my parts, I left the place and on my way home I decided to take a look at the receipt and what a surprise when I saw the name of the part on the receipt is Rubber Blades. This only proofs that Kelvin was trying to make fun of me and that he just wanted to take a bad attitude at me. I am also surprised that the manager did not know how the part are called.All in all, I am not coming back to this place. It used to be my favorite but I rather go somewhere else. I like going to Honda to get the genuine parts but to be treated like garbage I rather go to Autozone or Strauss, I pay less and I do not think they treat you in such rude way.

When leasing a Honda accord from Alex I felt he went far beyond the call of duty. I never felt pressured to buy but at the same time I felt he was there to help me in my important decision. I would certainly reccommend future customers to visit alex at paragon Honda. Elsie Earez suprised me with her caring when she introduced my lease to me. I am sure just explaining something can be done by anyone, however I soon realized that she was not gonna let me go unless I completeley understood my new purchase. Thank you both for your devoted service.

I visited recently with my sister to purchase her new vehicle, (disclosure: I have bought 5 vehicles in the past!) and am always impressed by the customer service. Clara is always a pleasure to "deal" with, Gary was up front and straight to the point with the financing aspect of the deal and David Pena was "great" when it came to explaining all the ins and outs of my sister's new Honda Pilot. Keep up the good work...will see you in three years! : )

The employees were very attentive, friendly, and helpul and i felt that they were very honest and were not just trying to get a sale even though that is what their job is. They made me feel that they were there to help me too while making a sale.So i felt that the service offered was the best thing. Also i was encouraged to ask questions, and was asked more lots of times if i had any. Everybody was friendly even if they were standing around. The work area was not intimidating and i felt that it could have been because you were basically siging your life away with so many papers to sign.

Overall- great experience. We went to another Honda dealership in our area and ended up walking out because we waited so long for someone to help us. We came to Paragon Honda and we were not sorry we did. Our salesperson, Aaron, was informative, patient and helpful. He answered all of our questions, and even recommended some good places to eat in the neighborhood! The manager was accommodating and we were able to get to a mutually acceptable deal even though we came in with a really tight budget. The car is beautiful, I am looking forward to being a loyal Paragon Honda dealer for years to come.

I bought my first car this weekend at Paragon Honda and it was truly a memorable experience. When you first walk into the dealership, you are greeted by a receptionist and offered free cookies. After checking out the Honda Accord, we sat down with Alex, and he suggested that I go along with the incentive priced car, which worked out great since this is the year-end closeout. Alex is a very kind salesman who listens to concerns and provides clarification on things that one may not understand. My family appreciated the free coffee as well. Next, I met with Joy, who despite being severly delayed from his vacation, was able to provide a lengthy, informative presentation on what it's like to join the Honda family. Last but not least, there's Elsie, who is an expert on the ins and outs of the car (thanks for helping me set up my Bluetooth!).All in all, the biggest thrill is ringing the bell once you officially become the owner of the car. And another bonus, you are eligible to receive a free bicycle with the purchase of a new car. Thank you Paragon Honda!

I traveled from Hartford, CT to Paragon Honda to buy a car based on the information of autotrader. I did not find my desired car. But, Sayed Abu (sales person) helped me to find an another certified Honda Accord. He did outstanding job to find this car within my budget. He is a nice guy, and serving as a friend. I found some issues that related with this car. Sayed Abu has been supporting me to resolve these issues. Most of their people in customer service are well-mannered. For a specific reason, I had to talk to their sales manager, Mr. Nadib while sales person was absent, and found terrible experience upon talking with him. Hope, he will come up with the business manner for his customers.

Very friendly and I would recomend these employees to anyone who wants to buy a car, specially if its your first. Alberto helped me as much as possible in choosing my car, and got the most appropiate one for me. The only bad part was that I had to go back to get my keys changed because they gave me the worng ones, but i got a free car wash. :)

I was treated royally on each of my three trips to the dealer. Each time I walked in I was immediately approached by a representative who located my salesman Mr.Missaoui who was a perfect for me because I don't like high pressure sales people. I was able to really decide on what "I" wanted. The post sale arrangements{DMV,Insurance,Inspection and registration}, was handled by my salesman,I didn't have to stand on any lines anywhere being annoyed.The delivery of the car went extremly smoothly.The assistance of Ms.Tavarez made the stack of papers I had to sign understandable and not a chore. The instructions in the car concerning the dashboard,radio and other accessories saved me at least a half hour of fumbling on my own. I hope to see them both when I go in for my next car.

Very easy, fast ,friendly purchase, Certified Vehicles had very reasonable prices great selection to choose from, Had a bit of a communication issues getting all documentation and plates as out of state purchase. Mohammad needs to remember to call back when he says he will, Mitchell could be sweet or short on the phone, After the actual sale was difficult to get someone to help me trace my out of state plates location..took 2 weeks and I finally reapplied for new ones and brought them in hand to dealer to pick up car . Nyesha was great, helpful and very understanding . When I was finally able to pick up vehicle it was exactly as promised by mohammad and all ready for me ( good job there ). David delivered the car and explained all options....very professional, with excellent customer service . I was given a voucher for gas and drove home. After a week at home I recieved a check from Paragon in the mail reimbursing me for the prepaid registration fees. What a pleasant suprise and I did not even ask for it! Thank you Paragon . All in all, I got the car I wanted at the price I wanted to pay delivered as promised. So I would say a Good experience on the whole. Thanks Paragon.......:)

The Honda Sales Consultant, Ram, who patiently assisted me in finding the right vehicle for me impressed me. When the exact vehicle of my choice was not available in the exact color combination I wanted, I was kindly asked if I would consider a different vehicle. It turns out that the vehicle that I chose in the end really is the right vehicle for me. I felt that the Sales Consultant was professional, accommodating, and efficient. The Sales Consultant, Ram, was also punctual and reliable. The Sales Consultant also had a sense of humor, which cheered me up. During other times when I had to wait, other employees who were not busy assisting customers at certain down times were friendly and worked to build a rapport with me, which I thought was great! I received the vehicle of my choice sooner than I expected it, and it was squeaky clean - both inside and outside. Also, Rachel was friendly and personable. In a competent and confident manner, Rachel assisted me in getting familiar with the features of the car once the vehicle was ready for me to drive. She was knowledgeable and patient. Based on this very positive experience, I would highly recommend this dealership to others. The research I did online prior to visiting this dealership paid off! I have yet to see if the vehicle I chose will in fact live up to the reputation that Honda has built so far.

This was one of the most hasslefree, thorough, and pleasant visits to a mechanic that I've ever had. Wilson was excellent and got my vehicle in quickly and the work was impeccable. They really strive to make sure that your car is in tip/top shape when it leaves their facility and yet they were never pushy or tried to get me to purchase unnecessary services. The quality of work has proved solid and reliable too. Wilson was super polite and responsive to my concerns. It was a pleasure and I'll definately be back!

This was my firs time using this service shop and upon first meeting Angel he was friendly and professional. He made sure to explain to me what options were available to me based on mileage and was very accurate in taking down information concerning the issues my car was having. He called me with updates on the car and kept me well informed as to the status of my car and what steps were needed to resolve my issues. He was very thorough in explaining the work done to my car, why the work was needed as well as the pricing. I would recommend dealing with Angel should your Honda need service at this location. He's a straight shooter.

I went to numerous Honda dealerships and all I was hearing was I can try, I dont think we can do that deal... BUT Paragon Honda made it happen!!! They put me in a Honda Pilot zero down at the price I wanted. The staff was excellent, the services was amazing. I was able to close a deal even with my 5 year son there because the product specialist was watching him, which was perfect even thou it is not her job she really made it easy for us. They have a stated of the art office and they do not past down the cost to the customer. Trust me I have been with Honda for 9 years and this is the best experience I ever had in a dealership. The other dealerships are way over rated and cannot make the deal not even half of the deal Paragon Honda made with us. They say what the mean and mean what they say. I am a great negotiator as that is what I do for a living and they were right on the button with the numbers. People trust me, you cannot go wrong with Paragon Honda, and they are the BEST!!!!!

After not getting the price that we were looking for at a Honda dealer in NJ, we contacted Paragon and was told that it was very likely that we could do a deal. Given that Paragon came highly recommended by our nephew who bought an Insight from them, we decided that it was worth the trip and the cost of the tolls to visit.We met with Victoria who is a real gem and she worked with us to get the deal that we were looking for. She also made sure that our time was not wasted when we went to pick up the car and that was much appreciated. Victoria is very knowledgeable and personable which is a great combination.We actually found all of the folks at Paragon to be outgoing and friendly and while that did not sell us on the car, it certainly made it pleasant to be there. We will be recommending Paragon and Victoria to our friends and relatives.

this is the first time buying a car, and i must admit, it isnt as hectic as i thought it would be. Simon was so welcoming and friendly, great customer service and attitude overall, paragon made it a very smooth and easy process. i would definitely purchase another vehicle from them in the future and recommend others to do so as wellDiane

Purchasing a car from Paragon Honda was a very pleasant experience. From the first time my husband stopped by to speak with the sales manager, Jason Graciano, to the end when Rachel described each and every feature of the car, was an experience that far exceeded my expectations. Everyone was professional,knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant. The dealership was clean and customer friendly, offering coffee, tea and cookies. Joel Abreu went across the street to the market to buy my husband and I bottled water. I thought that was going above and beyond the call of duty. Everyone should visit Paragon Honda if they are in the market for purchasing an outstanding and reliable car. It is a very pleasant experience to say the least.

I would like to extend my thanks to team Paragon Honda for the great service and great pricing on their pre-owned vehicles. The buying experience was excellent in which Rick (Pre-owned Car Salesman)helped me with any questions that i had. During the closing of the deal Rick Had went over the the sales contract with me and had had no hidden fee's involved. I also want to thank Joe (Used Car Sales Manager) for making this car buying experience happen for me. He clearly made sure that any problems that i had prior taking delivery of my pre-owned car would be to my satisfaction and it was well beyond excellent. This Pre-owned department is run like a well oiled machine, from Sales, Sales Managers, Finance Department and don't want to forget the delivery team who shows you how everything works on your pre-owned car! I would highly I would highly recommend this dealership for your next purchase! -David H

The people of Paragon Honda are very friendly and never gave me a hard time with anything. I worked with Clara 3 years ago when I leased a Pilot. I was glad to see that she was still there. Now I leased a CR-V. She and Deborah(sorry, I can't remember her last name) were very, very helpful in turning in my Pilot & leaving with the CR-V the same day, and it only took a few hrs, not a whole day. The service people are great in helping you as best as possible. I have recommended Paragon Honda to any one that has asked me about buying or leasing Hondas. Keep up the great work!

The service at Paragon Honda was second to none. Angel was very knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend him. Elsie was an informative, educated individual who explained all things you need to know about a new car. It was a pleasure meeting both of them. I would definitely come back & recommend Paragon Honda to anyone who is looking for a car.

Hi my name is Veronica Francisco, i bought a car from you guys. The service was fine and everything but,one of your employees try to look at me like i was stupid or something.Your employee Rick R.castellar try to steal from me by lying to me about the car not being certified.He told me that i had to pay him Five hundred and Fifty dollars $550.00, on the side in order for me to get my car serviced.He never gave me details about how the car came with these services already. For example, the car has a broken headlight,missing Rug,stained Rug... I Spoke to one of your finance person about the problem.Because i was confused about the issue, which is Glenny Pena..She explained to me and told me how things work and i understood and realize how Rick was thinking i was stupid!!!.Also i spoke to Joe one of your manager, and i told him how my car needed a few things done and the Fraud with Rick. AND i think he didn't do anything about it...And i want you guys to do me a Favor, not to have anything against Glenny Pena, because she was great help to me.

I've been in the market for a crossover for a few weeks. I've been to 4 showrooms in the Queens and Brooklyn area before coming to Paragon Honda.After shopping around, and striking a few potential deals in the area, I found out about Paragon via Edmunds.com.Long story short, John C. at Paragon was able to meet my price and do business with me at well bellow the asking price of other dealerships. Best of all, it was with no haggling, and no run-arounds. I knew what I wanted, he knew what paragon wanted, and we struck a great deal within 10 minutes.Past that, my experience did not end there. I was introduced to my new car by a very knowledgeable and friendly Elsie Tavarez. I knew pretty much everything I needed to know about my car within 5 minutes thanks to her.Thank you John, Elsie, and Paragon for making my car buying experience a good one.

My experience with this dealership has been extremely disappointing and stressful. I purchased a so-called (certified) vehicle in March '10 and soon realized that pleasantries on the part of the salesman, Mohammed Hossaid, went out the window once the purchase was done and problems with an UNSAFE car began. Problems and issues such as:A TRUNK THAT LEAKED WHEN IT RAINED, BAD FRONT SHOCKS, DEFECTIVE AIR BAG SENSORS (SAFETY), BAD AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM, BAD DAY-LIGHTS, DEFECTIVE VISOR, rejected inspection due to sensor issues, $300 in tolls and gas, days off from work, begging, pleading, screaming, and spending 10 hours at the show room waiting for the car to be serviced. You would think that I bought a car in this condition from someone off the street and not from a Certified Honda dealership where you expect a car to have been tested and ready within Honda safety specification measures but not at Paragon Mess where getting your registration on time, returned phone calls and/or getting problems resolved in a timely, professional, and productive manner are fantasies. I will say that the money I saved buying this car at this place was not worth the aggravation I've endured.

i went in to paragon as a first time car buyer, since 1992. I had researched and knew what i was looking for... fully intended to drive off of the lot with what i wanted... alas... i did! granted it was a lengthy process but i understand that is to be expected. i was greeted at the door, shown what i wanted to see, had a test drive, my color was in stock and there you have it!!!! all done with smiles and a positive, in control attitude that was grandly executed by all involved.

I came in to purchase a new vechicle and everything was going just fine until I was informed that my car was in and I could pick it up that night. I asked the manager that was on the phone if a particular finance associate was there because I wanted to work with the same man I spoke to the day before. The manager LIED and said that he was there so that I would not wait until the following day to pick up the car. Then I get there only to find out that this finance associate was using a planned vacation day. There is no reason to ever lie to a customer. But since I was already there and went out of my way to do so, I agreed to work with someone else. The next day I get a phone call that I have to come back bc they messed up the paper work, needless to say I was not happy. So to compensate I got 2 free oil changes. A week or so later I was worried about my payoff on the trade in since the bill was coming due. I left my sales person 2 voice mails and I am still waiting for my return call. The transaction was mid-May it is now 7/16/10. Before leaving the dealership they said they would send all the necessary paperwork to my insurance company. Well yesterday I get a letter that my insurance company wants to cancel my coverge becuase I'm missing paperwork that the Paragon Honda said they would send them right away. Again it is 2 months later! I call the dealership today and leave a message early this morning, do you think I got a call back? No! So I called them again and the sales person was finally around. Lets see if they actually send the paperwork but I doubt it so I will probably have to call them everyday this week until it gets done. As a side note, someone from Honda calls about the service at one of their dealerships right after I picked up my car and I answered honestly. Soon after I get a call from Paragon, " I understand you were not happy with the service you received here at Paragon and that one of my employees lied to you" etc, So after we spoke for a few minutes. His way of making amends is that, "well I will speak to them and it won't happen again." Personally I know that it will never happen again because I won't be going there ever again! Best of all, my mother was going to buy a car from them that following Sunday. I talked her and all my family and friends out of ever going to Paragon Honda in Woodside and maybe out of Honda's all together.

I recently purchased a used vehicle from paragon honda to export to Canada. Abdul was very helpful with all the required paper work, which made the transaction very smooth. There were a couple small things missed in the certified used car inspection, but once I contacted Abdul he promptly sent the replacement parts to me right away. I would recommend a Canadian to use Paragon Honda to purchase and export a vehicle from the US. But I would recommend not using the online contact options, instead call Abdul directly.

I am updating my previous review. I had a negative experience, I was contacted by the sales manager Joe and he went out of his way to make it right. I will return the Toyota radio and they have agreed to cover the cost of the radio that I had installed instead.

I used to think this dealership was a great place when I first leased my vehicle but when I went back to see if I could trade in my Honda in for a newer one, I was astonished to find out certain things. At first I did not like the pressure that was put on me to actually close the deal after I had told them numerous times that I was working out the numbers so that I could make a decision. Then above all was the fact that I had actually done my homework on how leases work because I had realized how ripped off I got on the Honda I leased from them originally. On top of all that somehow someway the newer one was going to cost me more monthly than a luxury vehicle so I decided to leave that dealership and Honda all together because I hated the way I was treated and how they tried again to rip me off for another leasing term. I now drive a new Lexus and pay way less for it with the same amount of down payment they wanted for the new accord. Please do your homework before you go anywhere to get a car.

Before my divorce I always left the purchase of a car to my husband as I had very little interest in cars. Thus I approached the experience of car shopping with some trepdation. I went to several dealers both on Long Island and then New York City. Because I keep and drive my car in Suffolk county I tried dealers near my home. There was a very poor selection of pre-owned vehicles and I found an attitude that was less then welcoming. Then I went to Paragon and it was a wonderful experience!!!! When I found a dent on the passenger side of the car as we were pulling out of the dealership and I relayed it to the manager there was no question that they would fix it. When I got the car home and discovered one of the headlights was not working I returned the car to be fixed. The manager, Mike Adovic, had one of his salespeople drive us to Manhattan to save the expense of a car service.Everything is done with a smile. The customer service is remarkable. I have already recommended Paragon to a close friend who is replacing her BMW. I told her the prices at Paragon may be reasonable (as compared to BMW) but the service is high, high end!!!

We were seeking a pre-owned Honda Fit, or CRV. In searching we did not find the car as they did not have a FIT in the year we sought and we ended up not choosing a CR-V and instead sought a new Element. The sale person, Lisa Kuchta, took an immense amount of time to show us potential cars and more took us on several test drives in an array of cars. We switched to a new Element and Paragon did not have the model we wanted. It was the end of year sales and there were few out there, but in terms of overall quality of the sales persons ambition and willingness to help us find the pre-owned car this was simply the best of many dealers we visited. Other dealers asked us to agree to the price prior to a test ride or tried to add transportation costs (to a pre-owned car) or simply had high prices. Paragon had a wide range of Honda CR-V's, but few Fit's (no one had many 09 Fits if at all). At Paragon we returned several times to test drive older Fits, recent CR-V's and an older Element. In the end we found the new car better for our needs but my wife and I did find that the pre-owned sales at Paragon were above the many other dealers we went to from Long Island, New Jersey, and Ct. (the search for a used Fit or Element took us to many). We have met good sales people at other dealers but no one took as much energy or showed such willingness to help find a car if they did not have it or to indulge us in comparing cars to find the right one. We recently closed on a house that needs work and we were trying to find the right car to help us carry things but still be a good urban car in metro NYC. I'd recommend Paragon for pre-owned cars even though we did not buy: they did help us sort out a complex plan and search and were always energetic and focused.

Had a great experience with all of the staff at Paragon Honda.Dealer's management and finance officer went out of their way to help me with my purchase since I didn't have a great credit score. As for the sales person (Ram Mishra), he was very knowledgeable and helpful with great personality. I highly recommend him.Once the car was ready to be picked up, Elsie from Paragon Honda demonstrated all of the workings of the new car.

As I walked in the dealer I knew who to look for. This being the 4th car we leased from Paragon Honda we automatically looked for our Sales Manager Jason Graciano. He is experienced, knowledgeable and friendly. His Sales tactics are what I look for in a sales person; someone who will not push me to buy but will show me and allow me to experience the product so that I can make my own decision. It was a busy Monday and the process took longer than expected, but Jason and his team, Ariel Munoz and Elsie Tavarez, made the process and my time spent at the dealership a pleasant one. I had a few concerns with the deal I received but overall I am happy with my purchase. Buying a car can be overwhelming, but you can be sure that Jason and his team will be patient and will do their best to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase. I walked out with my 2010 accord, which is what I wanted.

We got a used car which got a little front side dent that occurred most likely from the time we bought the car and the time we picked it up the next day after they serviced and certified it. There was also a roof dent that we did not noticed until we got home. After three trips (we live 4 to 5 hours roundtrip drive from the dealer depending on traffic) both problem were resolved. Overall it was frustrating because of the long distance and the time it took to get to the dealer as well as the waiting time to get things resolved. The manager, Joe, did his best to expedite things but some things, such as body work, cannot be expedited if you want them to be done properly. He managed to have the work done the same day to save us an extra trip. The work was done properly and we are happy with the result. Joe noticed our frustration and was kind enough to give us some gas money to cover part of our expenses and brand new front and back floor mats.We went through all these hassle because we chose a car that was just brought to their lot and was not yet certified. We had to return the next day for it and then return for the body work.I would recommend buying a car that was already certified so that you can inspect it thoroughly on the lot before you drive it off the same day.

I received the very best attention. This was my second time working with Ariel and he worked really hard to get me the car I wanted. You can see he really knows his job and enjoys closing the deal. I will go to him with all my car needs.Elsie was a joy to work with. She is very knowledgeable and has great customer service skills in addition to being a beautiful person inside and out. I would work with both of them again without a moments hesitation. They are clearly two people who know how to get the job done.

Everyone was extremely accommodating and friendly, and Eddy had endless patience showing me the cars and getting my paperwork ready. I will definitely recommend this dealership to my friends!

i walked into Paragon Honda not really expecting much, still in research phase and have not determine which vehicle to buy. especially within a rather limited budget. i was very please with my sale rep Lisa and her team, they were very helpful in finding a car for my needs and answered all the questions. however, i cannot say anything good about their loan officer Alan, i am actually glad to have a loan in place from another bank. bottom line is that their sales reps are very helpful and professional, and the loan officer should stop watching "Goodfellas"

This is my third purchased from Paragon, and I have never had a bad experience. The sales staff does not pressure you into making a deal immediately and give you plenty of time puruse the inventory on display until you are ready to speak with a sales representative. I can't speak more highly of the personalized service I received from my sales rep. Alberto Escobar who informed that I was his very first customer. I think he will have a successful career with Paragon.I always recommend Paragon Honda to anyone who is looking for a new car.Richard Baum

Mr. Pena was very helpful and courteous. His knowledge of the vehicle was extensive and his approach to showing the operations of the vehicle was better than perfect! Being able to meet all our needs and answere all of our issues with extreme speed was incredible. Mr. Pena made receiving a vehicle that you know nothing about easy and my wife felt confident about driving away for the first time. He made sure that even strapping in my 5 month old sons car seat was secure and that we were comfortable with the process. Way beond what honda offers in there commercials!

They went above and beyond. I strongly recommend Paragon Honda and the individuals above.The car was perfect and the people were better! Go to Paragon.

What a wonderful dealer and experience! Not only was Ms. Diaz extremely professional but even her co-workers who got involved with my lease were so nice and welcoming of me & my parents. She definitely exceeded my expectations of what I thought would end up being a stressful process. She also spent many hours with different insurance companies on the phone to help get my father a better rate on his insurance (something she did not have to do at all). From the moment I met her at the receptionist desk to the moment I left with my new Honda Civic the following day, Rosa Diaz was literally a breath of fresh air. I went back to bring her flowers and cookies for everyone else because she really made me feel wonderful about my purchase. If you're looking for a woman who knows how to "get s*** done" and who knows how to really listen to what you want as the customer- then Rosa Diaz and Paragon Honda is the place to go! Thank you so much girl!

I went to paragon honda on June 12, 2010 to purchase a Certified 2008 Honda CR-V EX-L. We paid 21,500 dollars for the vehicle, and put down 2,000. Everything was fine until we went to Mr. Alan D. Gensler's office, the Finance Manager. He said right away, "I was looking at her financials and I have two options for her. Number one; she qualified for a 12% interest rate, for 60 months, that will bring her monthly payment to 582 a month." Then I asked. "So, what is option two?" He then said, "let me explain." If you add the Honda Care Warranty and the protection program I can lower your interest rate to 8%. The total package will cost you 6,300 dollars, but your monthly payments will be 572 a month now." I asked him, "Do you have to buy a warranty package to lower your interest rate?" Mr. Alan D. Gensler went on by saying; "When you finance this vehicle through Honda Finance, by getting a warranty on the vehicle, the bank is protecting its investment on this vehicle, because if anything happens to this vehicle the bank is getting what you owe on the car back, not just the value the inssurance company is going to pay." He then said: "You get the car without the warranty and your interest will be 12% and pay $582 per month. But if you include the warranty, your interest will go down to 8% and your payment will be 572 per month." We agreed to option two and signed the contract. When I got home I used a payment calculator for my scenario. I entered vehicle price $21,500-2,000 down payment with sales tax of 7% (NJ), plus interest, at 12% interest rate for 60 months,the total monthly payment would be $467.24 a month. so where did Mr. Alan D. Gensler come up with 582 per month? I went back to the dealership on Monday June 14, 2010 to speak to Mr. Alan D. Gesler. I demanded him to cancel the warranty package which I'm entitled to cancel at anytime. He then stated; "But you can not keep the 8% rate that I gave you." I said to him that I did my research and found out that it was all a scam for him to make me buy the warranty and four extra items for a Lojack that I didn't even know was optional. I told him that it was a scam, that I spoke to several friends that work at auto dealers and they advised me I was scamed. I also got in contact with Honda Finance department and they told me they were not aware of such program. Mr. Alan D. Gensler then said: "Yes I can and your friends are dead wrong. As paragon Honda we are here to make a profit on products that we sell and if it includes lowering the interest so you can buy it, then we'll do it." Then I asked Mr Alan D. Gensler. "So what is her credit score?" And he responded. "Do you think her credit score has anything to do with her interest rate?" Mr. Alan D. Gensler never backed down even when I was 100% right. He insisted that he had the right to do everythng he had to do. I will never recommend anyone to Paragon Honda.

I did all the research online, and then finally decided to bite the bullet and physically go to the dealership - something I was not really looking forward to. I was met immediately by Joel at the door, with a great courteous attitude and a willingness to please. He took us to the car we were interested in and basically stepped back, giving us (my wife and 2/1/2 year old daughter) room to look at and experience the car on our own. We then took the car for a test drive and before you knew it we were crunching numbers - all the while with a straight forward, no pressure attitude. I told him the numbers I wanted to make it happen and he came back with an offer I couldn't refuse. Onto the next step, which I was dreading - the financing department - this is usually when the 'deal' goes south.I couldn't be more wrong if I had tried! The financing gentleman worked very hard to make the deal happen with the numbers I had already worked out with Joel. A couple of small hurdles were jumped and ironed out on the spot.The last step was with Rachel, who walked me through all the great technical features of the car. We couldn't be happier with our first brand new car buying experience.We will be recommending Paragon Honda to all of our friends and family.

After a lot of research online, my boyfriend and I found a certified pre-owned car that we could (almost) afford at Paragon. We went and were greeted (at the sidewalk) by an brand new employee named Nick who, for some reason, did not have enough training to be assisting customers and acted like a "used car salesman". He was loud and brash and was a nightmare to deal with. Spent two hours with him before actually going through the negotiation process with an experienced salesperson, Juan Carrion. Juan was friendly and extremely helpful. He explained everything calmly and was warm and gracious throughout the whole experience. He spent a lot of time with me getting me the rate I wanted and found a broker that would insure me at the price I was capable of paying. After hours of helping me, I still was worried about financing. Juan was still very patient, didn't rush or pressure me. I wound up came back a second day before purchasing. If you go, ask to see Juan, a lovely person who does his job really well.Another salesperson David, was also very nice, showed us the car features once we purchased.I would have given this experience 5 stars throughout, but unfortunately spent entirely too much time with Nick in the beginning which was frustrating. Don't think I could have bought the car or have gone through with a purchase had Juan not salvaged the situation.

We had a wonderful experience at Paragon Honda. Airon Reyes treated us with respect and helped us with finding our Certified Pre-Owned Honda Accord. The main manager Clive was also super helpful in getting us a good deal.We experienced wonderful customer service, both on the day we received the car and two days later when we were having trouble with our external financing. They were superfriendly and gave us a fair deal for the car.We're so excited to be car owners, and so much of that has to do with our experience at Paragon Honda.

I just want to say Thank You sooooo Much to Juan and Rick. As a first time car buyer the experience was very smooth. They both were very patient with me and didn't rush me (which is essential for a first time car buyer). These guys are down to earth and looking to just make a sell, they make sure the customer leaves satisfied. Left the dealership with a Honda Civic EX with Navi for a very Good price. The wait was a lil long but I expected it and in the end it was all worth it. This dealership is highly recommended.

I had a great experience. I came in with an ad for a CIVIC LX for $139/month, and that's what I walked out with. I waited a little longer than I would have liked (about 4 hours start to finish), but overall it was a good experience. And the Otis Spunkmeier cookies ROCK!

This is my 3rd new car , sold the 1'st one and still have my Honda accord and now the Fit Sport . I had the best experience at this dealership . I sent my best friend and cousin here and they both got New cars and would come back for more..The sales Professional that worked with me ( Jonathan ) wasn't pushy at all , listened to me , and gave me EXACTLY what i wanted . He did such a great job that i gave his card to someone the very next day. If anyone is looking for a New or used car i recommend this place , and the sales person that helped me. this place gets 5/5 stars in my book.

This is my first Honda from this dealership and my families third. I cannot believe how quickly, easy, and enjoyable this experience was. The sales person William was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He was my initial point of contact and he definitely made a great impression on me which lead to an enjoyable experience. William did not try to "sell me", instead he talked to me and asked me what I wanted and what was feasible, and a good fit for me. After I dealt with William I met Wendy, the delivery manager, she was incredible! She knew everything about the car I just picked out to buy, and it seemed as if she knew everything about all cars. She was friendly, and really made me feel even happier about the car I just picked. She went over every last detail inside of the car with me. After meeting with Wendy I then dealt with Adnan from finance. He too was a pleasure to deal with. He went over the numbers in detail with me and made the paperwork go by quickly. Everything was explained in full detail to me and all of my questions were answered. Adnan basically gift wrapped the whole experience. So from William, to Wendy, to Adnan, I could not have had a better team help me in buying my new Honda Civic. I would definitely go back for my next car to Paragon Honda.

So I took my car in to have the oil changed. they greeted me like I was a long lost brother. What I mean to say is that I immediately felt at ease and knew that I was in good hands. This is the same dealership where I bought my 2008 Honda Civic and frankly having work done on my care is pretty much of a bother to me, but hey the waiting room is comfortable with pretty good amenities. Kenny, the mechanic who did the work was through enough that he found a nail in my right rear tire. I'm about to go on a trip so you can imagine how I felt about that problem solved before it could happen. Highly recommended!

The Service Advisor who assisted me, Angel Cruz, was courteous, friendly, informative and helpful. The waiting time was a bit long but not unpleasant. I would definitely recommend this dealer and service facility to family, friends and co-workers.

I went to Paragon Honda looking for a Honda CR-V. As soon as I took a few steps to the front of the office I was greeted by a sales person (David Ramos)who immediately made me feel comfortable. He asked me what type of car I was looking for and he then took me to see a few of them. He answered every question I had without a doubts. Once I fell in love with one of the vehicles, David took me inside to the office to do the paper work. He then introduced me to the Manager, Mike Adovic and my experience went from excellent to outstanding. Mike made me feel like less tense. He stood by me and my family every step of my vehicle purchase. He made us feel like we were having a business deal in our own living room. Mike took me and my family to his office and he promised me that we were leaving with a car. He made my trade-in process so easily and he really went the extra extra extra mile with me. I was then introduced to another sales representative, Sayed Abu who took care of my paper process, he personally called my car insurance company to change vehicles. I mean I was just sitting there and watching them work for me. It was amazing, I have never been treated so excellent in a car dealer. Every one in the office was very respectful, very professional, and most importantly very knowledgable about their vehicles, which I learned a few tips from them. I will recommend them to all my friends and co workers, and I will stay with Paragon Honda for a very long time. Paragon Honda just gain a loyal customer. Thank you for your hard work.

Great customer services. They gave us a great price compare with other dealers. The sales person was very helpful and patient. In general the dealer is organized and clean. The salespeople dress appropiate. Compare with the other dealers they were very friendly.

This dealership came highly recommended, both from on-line reviews and from colleagues in NYC. Their selection/volume of new Hondas and Acuras seemed to the one of the best, compared to other dealers in NYC and even in surrounding states. I called about a car and the on-line service respresentative was very helpful. The only complaint I have is that she made me an appt for a car of interest and told me it was still there and I went to my appt and the car had been sold. However, the sales people were overly apologetic and offered to find me another car immediately. I was shown several (better but more expensive cars) and found one I loved. The manager was immediately contacted and at our tableside to apologize and make me a deal on the more expensive car. Both the sales rep, sales manager and financial manager, as well as additional sales people were very willing to cater to me, taking extensive time to show me the car, explain the details and get me the best deal, even for financing. So, overall my initial disappointment with the sold car was far exceeded by my even better purchase/deal. I would highly recommend this dealership!

I came into PARAGON HONDA looking to buy a new car and was greeded by Monica who made me feel very comfortable. I explained to her that we were not sure if we wanted a HONDA Accord or Acura TL. We were shown both vehicles and explained the different between the two cars. I want on a test drive with both cars. When we came back she introduce me to her manager MIKE ADOVIC and NADIB who assured me that we would be very happy purchasing a car from paragon honda. Mike and Nadib help me with the financing on the vehicle and give me a good deal on my trade in and a great great price on my new cars. I finally decided with the help from Mike, Monica and Nadib that I wanted the Acura TL. I recommend that if you are looking to purchase a vehicle from PARAGON go and ask for Monica Rodriguez she was great and very knowledge of the vehicles that we were interested in. Thank You Monica, MIke and Nadib.

I had found the car on their Internet listing. However, the manager explained the Pre-Certified designation and assigned Admir to assist me. Admir showed me the vehicle and other vehicles through out the lot as I requestted. He was friendly and knowledgeable about the cars and dealer.

Hi my name is Rosa and I recently leased a 2010 Honda Civic from Paragon. It was a great experience. From the moment I walked in Jason Graciano made me feel welcomed and treated me with a great deal of professionalism and respect. Mr. Graciano's knowledge of the product made me feel comfortable that the dealership I was dealing with was interested in meeting my expectations and beyond. Now that I have my vehicle for a week I am convinced that not only have I made the right decision about my vehicle, but about the dealership as well. Jason Graciano is an excellent dealer. I recommend him to anyone who is looking into a Honda vehicle.PS. Their fresh made chocolate chip cookies for the customers are delicious :)

Their service is too good, it is friendly & hospitality. I went to couple other dealer but they did not keep their words after visit their show room. But these guys are treated well except his Loan Division. I would recommend this dealer to buy with Cash rather going on loan without knowledge of credit history. Joe and Vincent really helped lot to get a good vehicle. I always recommend to talk Joe and Vincent if you have any problem during your purchase. Joe is little busy but he will keep his word. Vincent try to help at his best. You might have a lot of choice to choose your vehicle. Thanks,Kannan

The good thing about Paragon Honda. Jose Paulino. He is a real gentleman and a professional. Any little thing that has went wrong he has made sure that it has been fixed immediately and always with a followup call. If I buy another Honda it will be with Jose as the salesman but accompanied with a lawyer for the signing of the lease.

I purchased a new Honda Accord from Paragon Honda, about two years ago after, visiting numerous other Honda dealerhips in the New York area.Very early on I noticed that these were a competent and customer-friendly group.I was even more impressed when I went to the Service Dept. for the car's first scheduled maintenance service. The customers are treated as if they were special guests at some five stars hotel. After you drive to the receiving area of the Service Department,smartly dressed Service Advisors greet you as you exit your vehicle.They then accompany you to their desks. They politely get you comfortably seated. Now,they patienly go over your car problems with you and give you an honest evaluation. They then direct you to their extremely clean and inviting ,multi TV sets equipped waiting room where,hot coffee tea and an assortment of buttered bagels are available, courtesy of Paragon Honda. By now, I have been going to the Service Dept. for a long time. The Manager, Anthony Petito, takes care of the customers as if their problems were his own personal issues. Mr. Petito is also very concerned about the cleanliness of his establishment. I have observed him,in between attending to customers,go aroung and doing janitorial work. I was surprised to learn that he's only the Manager of the Service Dept.,not the owner of the dealership. I also should mention George Carlson, the very competent and customer-friendly Manager of the Body Shop. These guys are the best. Because of Anthony Petito, George Carlson and their well trained staffs, Paragon Honda is the place to do business with.

Hello my name is Annie. I recently purchase a Honda CRV. The Dealer Mike A was very helpful with assisting me in my purchase. Even after making the purchase, Mike continues to help me in caring for my Honda. From what I'm told this is a rare exception. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking to buy a new car.

I purchased my first car 2 weeks ago. The experience was amazing. Vincent helped me so much. He was very attentive and reliable. He answered all my questions, addressed all my concerns nomatter how little they may be. I'd recommend Paragon Honda to any and everyone. All the employees were very friendly everytime I walked in the dealership. I went for an 2008 Honda Accord, and left with a 2009 Accord. I got a deal. Even though the dealership is good, I'd still recommend Vincent only, just my preference. Even after I had drove my car off the lot, he was still very helpful days later when I had concerns.

Joe Carusone is a pro. He is the lead sales manager at Paragon's used car lot. I went in last week to buy a pre-owned CR-V. Joe sensed that I wasn't getting the right level of service from my salesperson and took a personal interest in making sure that I was treated fairly and appropriately. Joe personally inspected my car and made sure that all of the scratches and dings were taken care of and the car was serviced properly before being delivered to me. I was very happy with both the value of my purchase and the level of service from Joe and his team.

The location of this dealer is fantastic. it only takes a few minutes to get there. My experience at paragon Honda was amazing. The people are very friendly and their custumer service is the best. I dealt with Jose Paulino he is the best sales person I Had dealt with. His patience and cooperation was uncany. He knew at all times what I wanted and he provided and excellent service. I would recommend not only this dealer ship but Jose Paulino as your sales person. Next year I am planning to upgrade my car and I wil not hesitate to go back to Mr. Paulino. His number one rule is to always provide and excellent custumer service.

My experience w/ Paragon Honda was absolutely top notch. I usually only purchase cars private party however, after seeing the extremely fair price that Paragon was asking for the EXACT car I was looking for I decided to give them a try and I am very happy that I did. When I first contacted Paragon I was connected to the Sales Manager, Mike, who understood that I would be traveling from out of state and was more than accommodating to make arrangements for me to test drive the car. In fact, he was willing to hold the car for me (on good faith mind you) until I was able to get there almost 3 full days later. Once I arrived at Paragon, Mike introduced me to my Sales Associate, Monica Rodriguez, who is an absolute dream to work with. I found Monica to be very knowledgeable of not only the cars Paragon sells but of all the competing cars in the same class. Her positive attitude and patience (even while I kicked every tire on the lot) is unparalleled and I will most definitely recommend Monica to my friends and family. Overall both Monica and Mike exceeded my expectations every step of the way, they run a great business and are great people.

Joe Carusone was true to his word. He honored the web price and made it easy to buy our vehicle. He gave us a fair trade in value, too. As for the rest of the transaction, there were a series of paper mess ups. I don't know if this is typical, but everyone tried to make it easy. Just be sure to follow up for the necessary documentation.

Third time I've purchased a car from Paragon -- and won't be the last. Jose is a pleasure to work with and really went out of his way to minimize the amount of time I had to spend doing paperwork.. After our last purchase, he gave us his cell # to call with any questions. We were initially baffled with the bluetooth setup and called Jose's cell _many_ times. He was great -- always patient, always made time for us, even though he stood nothing to gain personally from these post-sales calls. So when it came time to purchase another Honda, I didn't bother calling anyone else. Jason Greenberg help us as well.

I recently visited Paragon Honda where I was thoroughly assisted throughout my buying experience by one of the most courteous and helpful salesman at Paragon. Andres Sanchez was extremely helpful and attentive to my wants and needs. He made sure he obtained exactly what I wanted in terms of the vehicle and price I was looking for. In addition, he provided me with all the alternative options available, had I decided to lease instead of purchasing the car. The service was exceptional and I would definitely recommend Andres to any prospect Paragon customers. He was friendly, knowledgable, and very professional. He'll make sure you leave very satisfied with his outstanding customer service. This was my second purchase at this dealer and I would return in the future without a doubt.

To begin with, I am located 1250 miles away from this dealership. I called Joe, the used car manager, and he was very responsive and honest in all questions I had for him. I flew out to NYC and was met by eventual salesman, Admir, who diligently walked me through the purchase of this out-of-state car. The one issue I had with the vehicle was that there was no owners manuals or extra key. Joe and Admir even took control of this issue and had an extra key and all owners manuals in my hands within 3 days of my return. Outstanding in all aspects and highly recommend to all out-of-state buyers.

I would never have described the car buying experience as enjoyable. That is however, before I had the pleasure of working with Yvonne. Buying my Accord was pain and hassle free. Yvonne made me feel incredibly comfortable during the entire buying process , she never once pressured me. It felt as if I was speaking with a good friend rather than a car salesman. I would recommend to anyone in the market for a new car to go see Yvonne.

Paragon does offer the best prices in Brooklyn-Queens-Long Island Area. Two issues to watch out for: 1) Car isn't necessarily available (they will tell you that it's in a shop / different location or simply vanished w/o a trace); 2) Paragon certifies wracked cars (to various degree of damage) and offer it as Certified Used Vehicle. Check Carfax for every car you are considering and prepare yourself to come back empty handed. "Bait and Switch" is a normal procedure there. Service department is likely to rip you off any chance they get - you will need to know what you really need to be done and clearly communicate it to them.Summary: If $100-$300 is not a problem - try a different dealer.

This was my second leased Civic sale at this dealership in the past three years. It was good to know that you can count on the service and quality being consistently great. Victoria was my Sales Associate. Her down to earth yet professional personality made it such a comfortable and fun experience. Her knowledge of the product was also greatly appreciated. She really took the time to work with me and figure out my needs and wants in selecting the right car. I will be more than happy to refer her to friends and family to her in the future. Hopefully she will still be an employee 3 years from now when my lease is up.The final employee I had the pleasure of meeting was David Pena. He was my delivery coordinator. What a great way to end an already fabulous experience. He took his time to make sure I understood all the features and perks of my new Honda Civic. His friendly and knowledgable personality was perfect in sharing my excitement over my new car. This is actually my third Civic and he was able to educate me on features I didn't even realize I had in the past....kudos! Again.....Fantastic experience and with the help of both Victoria and David, it was only enhanced.Sincerely,Jennifer DiPietro

First let me tell you that based on this experience my husband has changed his allegiance from Toyota to Honda.My husband and I began our car search approximately two months ago. I had done some research and determined that Paragon Honda had the best inventory pricing then the other Honda dealerships in our area. We stopped in briefly on a Saturday and Mohammed was our first sales person contact. We liked him because as my husband said it, "He seemed to be the man making the deals and on the move". Mohammed gave us his business card and told us to give him a call when we were ready to buy.We were finally ready and visited Mohammed on April 11,2010. The 2007 Pilots that they had were all wonderful but we were looking for something with lower mileage and a sun roof. Mohammed promised us that he would find us a Pilot to our specs. Well he called on Monday(4-12-2010) and said that there was a new shipment of 2007 Pilots and for us to come in. We came in on Tuesday (4-13-2010). He had three 2007 Pilots for us to look at. All were very nice and met our specs of low mileage and a sun roof. The last 2007 Pilot was still in the detail shop when Mohammed stated that he had this last one to look at. My husband and I were floored when we saw it. Not only did the car have low mileage and the sunroof, but it was stunning to look at as well. Mohammed initiated the paperwork and submitted it to Mitch Levy, the Finance manager. Mitch took over from there. Mitch explained the various financing options to us. He was extremely amiable and diligent with our loan deal. He was off the next day(4-14-2010) and even took our loan info with him to work from home. Once he got the approval, he called both my husband and I and started the closing documentation. Mitch was on the phone with us the whole day trying to get the insurance info together. Mitch Levy is a wonderful kindhearted man that really looks to help people with their dream of car ownership.On 4-15-2010, my husband told me that we had to go to Paragon to sign the paperwork. Well the joke was on me because Mitch and my husband told me that the 2007 Honda Pilot with low mileage / sunroof / and did I mention, a DVD entertainment was ready for me to drive. What a FANTASTIC surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank You Mohammed and Mitch for providing my husband and I with car ownership. Not just car ownership but the 2007 Honda Pilot that we desired with all of our requirements(low mileage / sunroof / DVD entertainment system).

This is my first experience with Paragon Honda and I am very satisfied. Jeff Katz was very helpfull with use, answered all my wife's questions. Everyone we came in contact with at Paragon was very helpful and great to deal with. We purchased a 2010 Honda Fit. This is our first Honda. Mitch Levy assisted with the fianacing and helped with the incentive arrangements. Joe Carusone assisted with the delivery of the car. I highly recommend them and Paragon Honda.

This is my second expereince with Paragon and both times I have been very satisfied. Sayed has sold me two cars and all I can say is that he is my salesman for life. Nadib and Mohammed were also great to deal with. But more important than the customer service was the quality of the car. I had no problems with my Honda CR-V and actually was encouraged by a friend who buys care from auctions to buy because of the excellent price. I almost felt bad for wanting to trade it in because it had been so reliable. I cannot recommend this dealership enough. If you walk into this dealership and respect this staff I can assure you that you will get respect. Give yourself some time when visiting because this is a busy/in-demand dealership!

After a long car search I ended up at Paragon Honda in search for my perfect car. I found this to be by far the best expirience I had. They had a large selection all of great cars at great prices. I LOVE my car :). Their customer service is OUTSTANDING which also made it a pleasure doing business with them. No pushy sales people trying to make you buy something you are not completely satisfied with which you do find at many dealerships. I highly recommend going if you are in the area and looking for a car. Even if your not... I drove an hour to get there. Thanks again for the Navi disk ;-)

My experience at Paragon Honda has been phenomenal. My salesman was Admir Cirikovic and I must say that he provided me with professionalism and an outstanding service. I couldn't be anymore happier. He willingly took time out to help me and gave me a better understanding of things when it came down to the vehicles and finance. He's an amazing salesman and I look forward to continue to do business with him. I had an amazing time with Mitchell Levy as well. Mitchell and I discussed everything from pricing to warranties in a timely fashion. Neither have I felt pressured or rushed from any of these wonderful salesmen. I'm happy that I purchased my vehicle from Paragon Honda and I look forward to working with them again in the future! Thanks Admir and Mitchell!

Usually when you walk into a dealership salesmen are not worried about what you need, they are more concerned about the actual sale instead of the person that they are servicing. That was not the case when I walked into Paragon Honda. Just a few days ago I was uncertain whether to lease or finance, after explaining my situation to Jason G. and Jose A. they immediately made it a priority for me to fully understand the difference. I am extremely happy with my purchase of a 2010 Accord and with the decision that they let me make without any pressure. It was a very smooth transaction. I'm glad that I walked into the dealership, I was welcomed with open arms.

Just purchased a certified used 2007 Honda Accord EX-L very recently from Paragon Honda. The service I had received there was beyond exceptional. Joe and Sal worked with me to get the exact vehicle with the exact features I wanted for a great price. They addressed my needs and wants to the tee, and were more than accommodating in the service they had extended. I had been looking for a vehicle for a long time, went to various dealers who had turned me off from the beginning I got there and/or provided me with a negative experience, not making me even think of going back. I wanted to do this review so my experience there and the exceptional people I had the pleasure of working with didn't go unnoticed. It is people like Joe and Sal that defy the common stereotype of these car dealers and genuinely will do their very best to work with you and find the vehicle you want. I highly recommend anyone looking into purchasing a vehicle, whether new or used, to at least stop by Paragon Honda and speak with these individuals before making a decision and see what they will do for you.

The entire process of researching and actually buying a car can be very overwhelming. In my many experiences dealing with Paragon Honda and especially the sales team of Jason Graciano and Jose Paulino, I can honestly say the experience is a pleasure. I have been involved in many auto purchases from Honda to Ferrari. From a young age I have bought and sold cars. Since I understand the process, people ask me for help and I visit many dealers in the NYC area. The dealer and sales team does make a tremendous difference when it comes to the overall experience of buying a car. Believe me, living in NYC, there are plenty of shady characters who treat you like a number or just another commission. The dealer that stays in touch and always assists you even after you decide not to buy the car deserves recognition. On a few occassions, I have taken family or friends to visit Jason and Jose. Sometimes they buy sometimes they dont. Either way, Jason and Jose always take the time to answer all the questions and follow up regardless if they get the sale or not. And if price is what you are most concered about as most people are, get your numbers then visit Paragon. They are always willing to work with you to match or beat other dealers and win your business. Jason and Jose are honest and always negotiate fairly. You can't ask for more than a dealer who is honest, they are EXTREMELY RARE. My hope it is that my review not only helps you but keeps the "good guys" winning the battle. Its rare when you find people that actually care, enjoy their job and look out for their clients. I took the time to write this review because I want others to avoid the headaches I had to experience before I started dealing with Jason and Jose. There is no doubt that I will continue referring people to Jason and Jose at Paragon Honda. They never let me down and I hope they get the recognition they deserve.

I had taken my car to a non honda dealership, and i would have to go back and forth with them to get my problem fixed but yet problem still wasnt resolved. Finally i decided to just take it to a honda dealer ship, And Edwin the service advisor was very friendly and told me that my problem would be resolved and the next day when i went to pick up my car my problem was gone, i would recommend this place to any and all honda owners. Thanks you guys at Paragon Honda!

I knew pretty much exactly what I was looking for and what my tolerances were going into Paragin Honda and they met and in some ways exceeded my expectations. My main point of contact was Sultan Haseq, whom I would definitely recommend to friends and or, familiy in the future. I was admittedly stubborn and unrelenting in my haggling and need for repeated explanations on the terms of sale vis-a-vis my ultimate vehicle of choice, however Sultan was very patient and explanatory, even along the period of several hours that I was on the Paragon lot. I feel quite happy thus far regarding my most recent Honda Pilot purchase. That being said, I also was left feeling rest assured that if at anytime during (the warranty period) I was ever feeling less than so, I would be handled with the same care, patience and regard to resolve my problem or concern. Nothing in this world is free obviously and I did go a bit outside my comfort zone in terms of the sale price, however, after an extensive period of comparison pricing and trips to bogus establishments (read as Major World...) at the end of the day they (Mitch in financing as well) were able to have me driving off the lot that same day feeling happy.

I have been to several honda dealers but haven't been treated as nice as I have at Paragon Honda. The service was great, they made me feel so welcome. The sales person took time to listen to my needs and accommodated me accordingly. I will always return to Paragon Honda and recommend other people to them. Sincerely, Magalie Mathieu, Customer

I recently purchased a new car from Paragon Honda and was very content and satisfied with the qualitt of the service I receieved. The salesperson, Joel, was knowledgable and was able to answer all the questions and concerns I had. William was also great when assisting with the finance portion of the deal, explaining in detail the terms of the agreement. This is the third vechicle we have purchased from Paragon (two from Honda and one from Acura) and I was pleased with the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff. Thank you!

Jason was so helpful & a pleasure to work with we went back to him for our second Honda and had an even better experience. Jason was patient, honest and worked with us to find the vehicle we wanted, the way we wanted it at a price we could afford. I would definitely return to Paragon to work with Jason again. Jonathan Camacho was also patient, knowledgeable and eager to help.

I made the right decision by going to Paragon Honda. From the time I entered the lot, checked out the cars I was interested in, selecting the car I wanted to closing the deal, it was a completely pleasant experience. I was greeted by a knowledgeable but not aggressive sales person who was patient and understood what my needs were, he was willing to work with me to make sure I left with a car that I can afford and will be happy with. The manger, Mr. Sediqzadah, is very friendly and he also made sure I was happy with the purchase I made.I am one happy customer and would definitely recommend my anyone interested in purchasing a Honda to visit Paragon.

I had a great experience at this dealership. I have purchased 6 vehicles at this location and its been a pleasure. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. They also give great deals and their service is superb. I wouldnt go to a different dealer and I dont even bother to shop around because I know I am going to get the best deal here.

we purchased a certified pre-owned 2007 odyssey on a thursday evening. we went back on saturday to have some cosmetic work done and ask about the tires with different DOT manufactured dates. anthony was great at asking us what was wrong. he insured that all of our points were put into the work order so we would have that documented.he had 4 new tires put on the vehicle and ordered the other parts necessary (some trim and molding pieces). he said he would let us know when the parts came in and further said that we could bundle getting those parts put on with a free service since we were coming to queens from jersey.when we dropped the car off he actually drove us to the closest subway station so we could take the train to the city for lunch with friends. he called when the vehicle was ready. as we were walking from the R train subway station anthony drove past us (on his way home at 4:30pm on a Saturday, i assume), recognized us and gave us a ride the last 3 blocks to the Paragon service center. he also stayed to deliver our car to us and go over what was done and what was ordered. this was the best auto service experience i have ever had. it was honest and sincere customer service. we will continue to have the vehicle serviced at paragon even though it means a 50 mile drive from jersey to queens.

Chris worked hard to make our sale go smoothly and went out of his way to meet our expectations, a must when traveling 100+ miles to purchase this vehicle. It was a great experience overall! I would highly recommend that if you go to Paragon, ask for Christopher; he will definitely take care of you. We will definitely return to see him again! Thanks Chris! ~The Damon-Smith family

to start off with i came into paragon honda on 55th street a sales associate approached me in the rain with an umbrella to greet me and to make sure i wasent going to get wet.. this was not my first time buying car but i have to say it was the best experience ive ever had buying a car monica was amazing! as soon as monica brought me inside she seated me asked to take my coat, offered coffee tea soda or water,she made me feel like i was at a mercedez dealer. we began talking about what are my interests and what i was looking to accomplish today so i gave her the ad i printed out on honda.com on a 2010 honda accord coupe lx-s.. now just to get off topic i first went to hillside honda, i waited for 15 mins before someone actually came and greeted me that annoyed me but fine, the salesman seated me i showed him the ad and he said great! now lets talk about fees he tried adding on another $2,500 long story short i left and came to paragon. monica said great come with me we went to their warehouse picked the color i wanted test drove it she explained everything in detail to me i felt like i had the car for my whole life i knew things in that car that i didnt even know in my old one. when it came down to the monthly payment i was waiting for the fees but monica had no fees she wrote the contract up on the special ad price i was shocked i was actually happy that i told her thank you so much for making my day on sucj a rainy day!. their manager mike came to congradulate me on my new car and asked how did everything go could of we done anything more to make your experince here at paragon honda any better i replied i dont think thats possible you guys were great thank you. my finace guy leo was extra nice made me feel like i was talking to my best friend. over all i had an wonderful experience at paragon honda and i would recommend anyone to purchase their honda there.

Paragon Honda is in reality the best choice when looking for a dealership to get the car you are interested in, whether you are looking for a new or used car. In my case i was looking for a used car with low miles and a good price, my sale reprensetative made a good job while looking for my car because i knew exactly what i wanted which made it kind of hard for her. Thank you Paragon Honda for the help provided.

Recently purchased a 2006 Honda Pilot from Paragon. It is a great car and in good condition. There was a small glitch when it came time to pay (paying with an out-of-state check) and they were very happy to work with me and present some options to work around the problem. Chris helped move everything along. My two critiques: upon arriving home, I discovered that one of they keys wasn't working to lock/unlock the car; apparently the battery needed replacing; I would think that keys would be checked out during the inspection and I had to run around to find a battery--key is still not 100%. Additionally I was promised a copy of the inspection report and didn't receive one. Aside from that, it was a relatively painless transaction for a great car at a very fair price from a solid, reputable dealer. And I feel confidant that if I have any problems, they will be handled by the dealer under the warranty.

Ivonne Miranda was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is knowledgeable, friendly and very much the opposite of what one expects from the "typical car salesperson." Note I said salesperson, the form at this dealership still use "salesman," I challenge Paragon Honda to step up and place recognition where due. Ten thumbs up for Ivonne and all the best for her continued success! -New Honda Owners/Manhattan

We purchased a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle at Paragon on a Thursday and wanted to bring it in on Saturday for some cosmetic work and to get new tires. Anthony took the time to understand and record all issues in the workorder. He had 4 new tires put on the car and ordered the other parts. We left the car there on Saturday and he drove us to the subway station so we could head into the city. When we got back he drove past us ( I assume on his way home) walking to the service center from the subway station. He recognized us and stopped and gave us a ride to the service center and personally handed our car back to us.It was the best dealership service experience we have ever had. Even though it is not the closet Honda dealership to us (we are in Jersey), we will getting our Odyssey serviced at Paragon.Thanks Anthony.Tony and Dawn Levite

I came to Paragon Honda looking for used Honda Accord, and met with Joe Carusone, the manager, who appeared to be extremely professional, took me seriously, and asked the right questions from the very beginning. After expressing my budget and my expectations, Joe went with me all over the place looking for a car that would fit my needs. He literally was running all over the dealership, took me for a ride to a second place and showed me several cars to choose from. In addition, he was very sensitive to my needs and was very serious even about the color preference I had. When he showed me a car I did not like, he was very understanding and took it easy, immediately jumping to look for a better choice. Finally, we found a Honda Accord that I liked. Clean Carfax, low millage, excellent condition. Joe stood on his head, made several phone calls to his superiors and was finally able to lower the price just to fit my budget and was very happy when I accepted his final offer. Overall, I must say it is hard find such an excellent, calm and sincere salesperson and manager as Joe. I took the delivery the next day and the car has been running excellent so far. I would advise anyone going to Paragon Honda to speak to Joe Carusone or Md. directly. Md, the second salesperson I worked with, was also very helpful and had superior knowledge of Honda vehicles. He was very helpful during the final stages of my buying experience and during my car delivery.

buying a car is a real big and serious decision and a lot of care in trust is needed at that moment so having this experience with "PARAGON" feeling that they try to please me and fill my needs not pushing thier... is realy a thing people should take in count when going to Paragon i had William being my selas person as a first time customer even though i returned the third time till my final sale and Justin made an extra special effort to get me approved for the best rate possible and did!i think that's what makes Paragon so special and pulls people everyone feels how they work for every individual to make the best possible for them

Let me say that my experience dealing with Rick was excellent. He was courteous, attentive, honest, and seemed to really care about making my experience a decent one. I came to Paragon Honda because I found a good price on a 2006 certified Honda Pilot. I was very disappointed to find out the the car had not been certified prior to my arriving and it left a very bitter taste in my mouth. After all was said and done, Joe, the sales manager (very reluctantly) promised me that he would certify the vehicle if I were to purchase it. Although he did, I could tell that he didn't want to. Rick, on the other hand, assured me that the vehicle would go through the rigorous certification process to meet Honda's standard. He even stayed two hours late to make sure my car was in order. I am not only very pleased with my vehicle, but astonished that Rick was able to provide me that kind of customer service in an environment that clearly is not customer oriented. Anyway thank you Rick!

Alex Bifina (service advisor) from Paragon Honda in Woodside is the best service advisors I have ever dealt with. I have been going to Paragon Honda since 2006. I have just once made the mistake of going to Hillside Honda in Jamiaca and the worst experience I ever had. I was upset with the way I was treated. Paragon Honda is far from where I live but it is worth every bit of it. I have never dealt with such professionalism, personable and an understanding individual. He understands your car needs, even if it may be a regular servicing for maintenance or a specific concern you have. You will not walk out of there until your concerns are completely addressed. He is very honest. He will work with you and to the best interest of your concern, may it be time or financial. If I could rate Alex from 1 to 10, I would rate him and his excellent service an 11! Thank you Alex for all you have done.Ruchita S.

After dealing with several unscrupulous dealers, one of which attempted to attach a "destination charge" of $1200 on a used vehicle that two hours before he told me he "took in" himself, we ended up at Paragon. I must admit, it was a bit of a shock to get a phone call while enroute to the dealership from the marketing department, who told us to ask for Joe Carusone when we arrived. It turns out that their internet marketers check on you almost immediately after you do the "black book" valuation on your trade-in. Upon arrival we were greeted and directed straight to Joe, who knew the stock of Honda Pilots almost by memory. After listening to our needs, he sent us to see several models with Sal, who is a bright young man with a good "customer first" attitude. After seeing the Pilots on two lots, we got down to numbers which is always the place where we began having troubles. For instance, at Route 22 Honda, along with their bogus (fraudulent?) destination charge, they also had a $349 "dealer administration" charge which included a $99 "computer" charge (why, did they need a new laptop?), and tried to sneak in a $699 "millennium Package" (we're ten years into the millennium, why do I need this?)which sounded suspiciously similar to the "undercoating" made so famous by the movie "Fargo." Well, after a bit of a rough start with Joe, we ended up getting a good price on a Pilot along with a fair trade-in value. Our only negatives were the tremendous amount of time wasted sitting in the dealership while they tried to figure out what seemed to be simple issues regarding payment and insurance. If you are using another bank to finance your purchase, be sure to get a certified check from them as they are not familiar with the concept of ACH transfers or electronic checks. In fact, another manager, who failed to identify himself by name (but looks like a cross between Woody Allen and that guy from Die Hard who says "Hans, Bubbie, I'm your white knight!")who told me with a straight face that it would be irresponsible to think that a payment could be made electronically. When I pointed out that his theory was faulty, as I could just as easily produce a fake check on a printer as I could an ACH electronic check, I was told that they were doing all they could to be reasonable. Well, welcome to the 21st Century, guy. The other hang up was with the insurance card, and took a twenty minute phone call to my carrier to finally resolve. If you have a good insurance company who will work with you, you'll be fine, but beware if you do not. Overall this was certainly not a sign-and-drive experience, but for the most part I would recommend the dealership for their pricing and willingness to find the right car for your needs and budget.

when my car would not start I called Anthony Petito and he walked me through what to do. I managed to get the car started and drove to Paragon, whereupon Angel Cruz took care of servicing my car. Although it was close to lunch hour, they managed to squeeze me in knowing that I intended going upstate today. Thank you for a making it a less traumatic experience.

I just picked up a new car from Paragon Honda and met with Jason Graciano, the Sales manager, he was great. He took his time with me and was very professional. He had a salesperson who was also wonderful (Jose Arias) they made my buying experience the best one yet, and I've been buying cars for over 20 years. Thanks to Jason Graciano and his well runned team I am a raving fanatic.Everyone should definately go see Jason Graciano before they even think of buying or leasing a new car!

The personal attention that my wife and I received was incredible. What stood out more was the fact that the business manager Mr. Sediqzadah, worked just as hard as Mr. Hossain to make sure that we left the dealership happy. The vehicle was a dream and come true and I will definately recommend to my family and friends.

I was in ther market for a 2007 certified used Honda Odyssey. I live in an area of New York (Finger Lakes region) where there is very limited inventory of used cars, so they tend to be expensive. So I went to www.cars.com and came up with a list of 2007 EX-Ls with less that 30,000 miles, ranked price lower to higher and decided to look at the chapest ones first. Based on the list price Apple honda was the cheapest, but when you look at the details of their price, then want to add over $2,000 in fees (what a scam). I also saw Route 22 Honda and they had a cars that looked to be at a good price (~$21K), but the fine print said something about Loyalty and Recent College graduate discount. I called ahead and spoke to a sales agent who confirmed that the price DID NOT reflect any discounts, so I drove 4 hours to the dealership. When I arrived the car was in pretty shabby condition (stained carpets, etc.) and when I started to talk price the manager said that the sales person had made a mistake over the phone. The price was $23K, and I did not qualify for a $1,500 owener loyalty discount (as I had not bought a car from them in the last 6 months) or the $500 recent college grad discount (for a Minivan?) that they had included in the list price. I was very upset and left.Shame on Apple Honda and Route 22 Honda for their deceptive practices. I wish Honda USA would crack down on them for this.I looked at my list again and called Paragon Honda. They had a minivan for a bit less than $21K, so I called them and they assured me they did not have any gimmicks on the price. When I arrived and looked the car over it was in very decent shape. They did not budge on the price as they felt it was low enough (and I agree it was a very good price). They did not add any other fees either, although I felt the trade-in value that I got was kind of low. At this point I was in a real hurry to leave because I had to do additional errands and drive back home another 4 hours, so they did the best they could to get the car ready in time. I came in to the dealership around 12:00 and left around 5:00.The sales person I dealt with was Sayeed and his manager was Joe. I had a very good expereince with both and I felt they treated me very fairly. The one thing I will say is that the dealership is very busy, so everyone there is very rushed. Be prepared for that. Having said this, if and when I am in the market for a new or used Honda they will be my 1st choice because they delivered on their promises. Period. If they had not fdollowed through my trip would have been a complete waste of time. But if possible next time I would try to sell my used car on my own to get a bit more money.Thanks Paragon Honda for saving my trip and selling me a nice car for a great price.David

This Honda Dealer is a breath of fresh air....if you ever had a bad experiance at service department,,,you haven't been here. From the moment I pulled into this dealer to the time I left It was a smooth and pleasant experience.I felt like the people there are very helpful and honest ...something that I feel most dealership's lack. While you wait for your vehicle...sit and watch tv..or drink some fresh coffee....or so like i do, surf the web on one of 6 computers free to use.Like I said...great experience , I drive in from yonkers and pay a toll....and i't worth it. I am so glad that I learned about this place when I worked in Long Island City....It's like Dunkin dounuts....ITS WORTH THE TRIP 5 star dealer don't change anything guys

this is the second car we bought from Melvin and the third from Paragon. They are very professional and friendly and the service department is great. Calls about maintenance are a regular part of the contract with them. Christina was helpful, giving us a tutorial about the technical aspects of the car. Overall good experience. I would recommend this dealer.

I visited Honda Paragon to buy two cars I was shocked with the great professionalism that is going on at that dealership. The staff is incredible helpful they explained everything to me as I needed and I took a really short period of time to put me in my brand new Honda Civic and Acura TL. Both managers form Honda MIKE ADOVIC AND JOE are the best. They made sure my visit was as pleasant as possible and as fast as I could be. My sales person was JUAN C. that did a great job on explaining the vehicles to me so I understood everything about both cars. I was shocked that the owner took interest in my cars and even he came and make sure I was happy with my two cars. BRIAN BENSTOCK who is the owner made sure everything was nice and made sure my pregnant wife was ok and had everything while I was getting the deals. I got the best prices possible and I am really happy with the service the whole team provided me with. The delivery service they have in great. At the when I bought my vehicles the was a lady from Acura her name was Wendy that explained the whole car to me with all of the great options and in Honda Rachael explained the 2010 Honda Civic. THANK YOU PARAGON HONDA AND ACURA FOR MAKING MY LIFE SO MUCH EASIER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a long time satisfied customer of Paragon Honda for approximately 10 years. My family owns numerous Honda vehicles. Brand new state-of-the-art service center is open everyday. The facility is complimented by its manager Anthony Petito. Mr. Petito is experienced, professional and trustworthy. He will always provide an honest evaluation of any required service and will treat you respectfully. As a customer, I have always been made to feel like a part of the extended Paragon family. The service is outstanding, from the very first maintenance check up (many years ago) to repairing a front splash guard shield (last week) and everything in between. The courteous staff always takes the time and effort to explain everything, relating to the work on your vehicle. Wilson, Eddie and all the staff do a great job. For exceptional quality and reliable service, trust your car to Paragon. Mr. Petito has proven to be a valuable asset to the company and is the reason that I service my cars at Paragon.

My wife and I had purchased a certified CRV from Paragon and received very good service 3 years before. Recently we experienced a problem starting the car which was eventually found to be a bad battery. I contacted a local (2 miles away) Honda dealership but was treated unprofessionally and even rudely by their telephone customer assistance staff. So I contacted Paragon (15 miles away, city traffic) left a message for Clive the Sales Manager to please call back. The telephone customer service staff also put me in contact with Eddy in the Service Department. I explained what happened with the other dealership and said I absolutely needed the car running asap for use over the next few days. He apologized for any problems with the other dealership(!) and asked when I could bring it in. It was at the end of the day so we made an appointment the next morning. Clive called me back several hours later and said he would do whatever he could to smooth the repair process. I was unable to get there at opening but arrived by 9:30 AM. I told Angel (Service Department) and Eddie the problem and said I wanted to wait for the car. They said they had a rush of cars come in that morning but would do everything possible to have the car ready that day. I told them I would wait until closing that evening if necessary (I really needed a working car). I got a quick breakfast. To return Clive's courtesy I went to his office and while chatting with him, Eddie call to update me on progress and said the car would be ready within 30 minutes or so (only an hour or so had passed) He explained about the battery and said they wanted to test drive and check the car a bit more to make sure there were no other issues. Clive also stopped Anthony Petito (Service Manager) and explained the problem. Anthony drove me back to the Service Department and after talking with Eddie reassured me that car would be out very shortly. The car was out very shortly. I gave a rating of great for customer service, friendliness and quality of work because they made my problem (including time) their problem. They followed up on a very timely basis; got me in and out quickly for an easy fix problem so they juggled their schedule a bit for me (they had a lot of work - I saw the parking lot) - they were flexible. Their managers let their staff do theirs jobs but followed up with me later to see if I had any questions. This led to a great overall experience rating. Price was great - they charged me for the battery but did not tag on unnecessary diagnostic or other charges. I recommend Paragon Honda very highly and will go out of my way to use their services. Thank you.Sincerely, Warren

All my experiences at the Paragon Honda Dealer have been incredible especially at the service department. Once I get there Mr. Anthony Petito takes care of me immediately. He is great at alway giving me detailed information on any matter concerning my car. He makes me feel like if I am part of family. I have to say that I am happy and satisfied with the service that I get everytime I go there. Dealing with Mr. Anthony Petito at the Honda service department has been a great experience. It's a great thing that Anthony and all his personnel are in service and are very helpful and concerned for their customers. Thanks for the work and effort to Anthony and personnel.

There are top mechanics at Paragon Honda in Queens off Northern Boulevard- highest levels of certification in the country- the very top one actually takes service manuals home to peruse as light reading- but the BIG KEY REASON for the quality - the very high quality of service there- is the long time service manager- whom customers AND staff, which is remarkable really, GENUINELY love at this relocated and expanded and upgraded Honda Service Center- ANTHONY PETITO.Anthony has the total respect of all the service guys at the desks and every single one of the mechanics in the bay area- you can visibly watch it as he is in that area a lot and and you see how the men talk to him.Why? Because he's a good guy, strong, smart, knows cars in and out and a superb handler of people, very human. Maybe a missing element in a high tech world, which he is part of, too, of course. A very human human being.You couldn't ask for more in a person than this man who has been at Paragon a number of years, took over from another gentleman, Mr Weiss.Anthony just takes care of everyone in the smartest and nicest possible way. All the staff in this area just enjoy being around him... a HUGE asset to the Paragon dealership and everyone from Mr. Benstock down knows that. He's a real gem. I even like visiting there (who really wants to get service? it's like going to the doctor without insurance) to see and say hello to Anthony. I know he will do such a great job for me-- as with the many other customers he deals with month in month out.A class A individual who makes things work there.David -- nearly decade long customerAlso it's a clean well managed place, thanks to Anthony- and large, too, due to the expansion

We were first time customers when we purchased a used 2006 Honda Accord in August 2009. We were extremely satisfied with the service of Mike Adovic, who assisted us. The premise was and still is professional and altruistic. The recommended car, which was eventually sold to us provided great satisfaction. We were so satisfied and confident in Paragon Honda, that we decided to upgrade our Civic to a Honda Jeep. As buyers, we entrusted that Mike Adovic would search for the best quality Jeep for us, being as we never owned a Jeep before. After choosing a great car, Mike Adovic further assisted us with providing us with a deal that fit our financial budget. Without a doubt, we will continue to recommend Paragon Honda to those looking to buy a new or used car. Thanks to Mike we are confident that our new car will serve us as well as the Accord.

From the moment i walked into the dealership, i was greeted by by warm, professional people, who took excellent care of me. I got a good deal on a better car than the one i was looking for. Sal and Mitch guided me through a long process and made me feel at ease. I got a great car and am planning on recommending Paragon Honda to everyone i know!

Mohammed Hossain & Joe Carusone are execellent sales persons. I was very pleased with the way they helped me find the right vehicle for me and my family, my wife and family love the honda oddessey they sold me.they were so understanding to my needs and the cost of the vehicle. I would recommend my family and friends to Mohammed and Joe from Paragon Honda when they want to buy a vehicle.I went to Hillside Honda, Bay Ridge Honda, and Plaza Honda, and they gave me the run around also they weren't pleasant and their price was to high fore my budget.Paragon Honda is #1 in everything.

We came in to buy a certified used car for our three children aged 17,17 and 20. This was our first used car, we are very exacting customers and always bought or leased new. It had to be a very safe car with all the latest safety features, yet sporty enough to make the kids feel good while driving with their friends. My husband found a car with slightly higher mileage than we wanted, but it sounded good and he called Joe P. We went all the way out to Queens on a mid week evening and were greeted warmly. The place was packed, people buying cars left and right, yet we were treated with very personal care. The car we wanted was already sold that day - no this wasn't bait and switch, they do a huge volume of cars every day - but Joe had another car with very low mileage at a great price. He was sensitive to the fact that this car was listed for a little more than we had wanted to spend on the original car, but this car had 20,000 miles versus 60,000. Because of this we were able to reach a very fair price for a car that was in perfect condition, drove like a new car, the body looked great and they threw in new car mats to spruce it up even more.We agreed to purchase it the next day, and the car was ready as promised with no hassles. We test drove the car without pressure, and were very happy with the results. This car was everything Joe had promised and he and Juan came through on all we had agreed to, on time, at a fair price and with great customer service. Both my husband and I thought the kids would be thrilled - it looked and felt brand new, for almost 1/2 the price of the new version. All the safety features were top of the line, and I felt very confident that this would be a safe good car, yet good looking , for my three teenagers. Upon arrival home that night, I placed a ribbon on the dashboard and one on the hood, and we asked the kids to come outside - whoops of appreciation! They drove it on spot and have been sharing it and caring for it since then. I drove the car the first night and found it to be stable, peppy and sporty looking, much unlike what I thought a used car would be. And, Joe has called twice to see if everything is to our satisfaction which is a great feeling - I know that in the future I will buy a used car from this same dealership. They have my vote of confidence!

I feared looking for a used cars after having negative experiences at other dealerships. But Mike Adovic at Paragon Honda changed that for me. A friend recommend Mike to me after he purchased a car from him and had a good experience. I was looking for a Certified Used Honda Civic and Paragon had many to choose from. Mike didn't try and sell me other cars or try to change what i was looking for. He had me look at the good variety of Civics they had to offer. He was very professional, friendly and knows what he's talking about..I like that. No over the top sales pitch I've seen many times before. I did my research and anything I was unfamiliar with he answered. After finding a car i liked, Mike got me a great deal(so much better than ive seen elsewhere) and walked me through the process. I drove the car home that day after Sayed did a great job preparing it. All in all a good experience and a recommended dealership. Ask for Mike.....

My overall experience with the purchase of a new car went well. The process was lengthy, however, Ms. Deshals went above and beyond to offer me the amenities the dealership had to offer, as well as gave me a hands on overview of how to operate the basic functions of my new vehicle. Mr. Moore was very thorough with the explantations of leasing versus purchasing, which assisted me in my decision.

I went to Paragon Honda for a scheduled maintenance service, and as soon as I got to the door I was greeted by service Advisor Eddie Fernandez.Eddie then, took to his desk and explained to me every item that will be seviced on the vehicle based on the mileage. He was very courteus and the price he told it would cost, was what I paid. Thanks Paragon Honda for having representatives such as Eddie Fernandez on your staff to provide such great service. sincerely, R. Hines

I am pleased to leave a positive rating for Joe, Juan and Paragon as a whole. While my experience at Paragon got off to a rocky start, Joe more than made up for it in the end. I was ready to leave when Joe asked us to stay, and I can easily say that I am glad I did. I found management to be friendly, available, and most importantly (to me) approachable. I am enjoying the car I purchased and would gladly recomend them to a personal friend. Best Wishes to all at Paragon and a big thank you!

I had a fantastic customer service experience with Paragon Honda. I brought my 2002 VW Jetta into be serviced because I was having problems starting it and because the driver side mirror had been broken off. From the moment I arrived at Paragon, I received amazing service. Anthony Petito, the service manager, couldn't have been more helpful. He communicated with me throughout the process - telling me exactly what they were doing to my vehicle, what they had found, how they were fixing it, and making sure that I received the best price for the required parts. When my car was returned to me personally by Nestor Dure, one of the service technicians, I hardly recognized it, it looked like a new car! Not only had the repaired the vehicle, they had cleaned it up from top to bottom. My car is driving better and looking better than it has in years. Thank you so much Paragon Honda, I will be back!!

Wow, what a great experience. This was no non sense. I got the car I wanted for $3,000.00 Less then Hillside Honda and Plaza Auto Mall. Joe gave me a great price, I did not have to haggle and go back and forth. Car was delivered clean and on time as promised. I have bought an Acura at this dealer and Honda was just as nice. I will buy all of my Honda's here.

Words Cannot express how lucky Paragon Honda is to have Nadib, and Mohammed. I bought a 2007 Avalanche from both these gentlemen and they extended such courtisy and, professionalism that when Im ready to buy another truck I know who Im headed to. Nadib went way out of his way to make sure I got what I needed. The salesman Mohammed was the kindest , and upmost professional I have met in the business. I Run a dealership myself and wish I only had two take charge professionals like Nadib and Mohammed. Paragon Honda...Do you hear me....I mean Lucky to have Nadib and Mohammed..What an asset they both are to Paragon. Thanks again you guys.

I had a wonderful experience at Paragon Honda. The staff was very friendly and inviting. I couldn't have asked for a better sales person than Admir. He was extremely helpful with making sure I received the best experience possible when I purchased my Honda CRV. He even came in on his day off to make sure I was taken care of while getting my vehicle serviced. I would definitely reccommend Paragon Homda to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. Not only was their customer service second to none their price can't be beat!!

I recently purchased a car from Paragon Honda. Buying a car can be very intimidating and time consuming. I visited another nearby dealership but the other dealership was not honest and straightforward. Joe Carusone tried his best to make the experience as pleasant and easy as possible. He and Christopher were both great listeners. They worked really hard to make me a satisfied customer. THANK YOU PARAGON HONDA!

I like the dealership because first of all that's where I bought my car. I have not gone anywhere to service my car but to Paragon.I brought my car the other day and the rep who helped me was Anger Cruz. I am impressed with Angel's work ethic. He's eager to help and would bend over backwards for his customer.He is an asset to this dealership and I hope you'd hire more people like him.Kudos Paragon Honda!

I bought a 2003 Honda Accord, I was pleased with customer service. This place is professional and will recommend this dealership to anyone I know. The sales rep Rick Castellar was very friendly and helped me throught the process (ask for him when buying a car there). The price was very good, it was as if I bought from an individual. If there is any concerns with your purchase they will address the problem asap. Overall is a good place to purchase a car.

Therefore, I am recommanding sales person (Rick) to any future Honda costomer who need his servieces. Simply 'cause when I first steped into the dearler, I just wanted to see the new crosstour, but this gentleman was able to convice me to purchase this vehicle. The way Mr. Rick asisted me proved that every costomer who comes to this dealership is not going to be one day costomaer but he will continue to come with a lot of costomers.

Also they provided me with details on the vehicle I was purchasing from that dealership. The sales person I was dealing with worked very hard to satisfy my needs on buying my new Vehicle. Thank you for that great experience

I went to Paragon after a bad experience at another dealership on Long Island. The other dealership was not honest and up front with their additional fees and their intentions. We actually had to bring the car back after receiving a deceptive contract. When I arrive at Paragon, I met with Joe the Internet Manager and I shared my story with him. He promised that they would be honest and true to their word. They lived up to that. I got a great van and at a great price. The sales person, Sayed, was very helpful and attentive. We left that day with our new van. We went on a Saturday and they were extremely busy. My suggestion would be to go during the week if possible and if you plan on going home with a car that day, bring something to eat! All in all, it was a good experience and we are very happy with our purchase.

I was looking for a Honda Accord 2007 online for over a month and found Paragon Honda had really great inventory and they had priced there Car economically.one of my friend had bought his Accord form them a yr ago and he had no issue with the Car or the Dealership till date. So i decided to go there and check the Car. I should say i decided a wrong day to go as it was Damn Cold that afternoon but i feel if i wouldn't have gone that day i would have missed the Great Car. As soon i , my wife and my friend reached there we met with Rick and he greated us very well and offered us a Nice hot coffee before staring to show us the inventory he had. He was so calmn and listened to our requirement and then showed us few cars and tried to find if anymore available in another yard and He was holding the Cars whichever we liked till the end when we set to finalise the Car. We can say that Rick got us this really great 2007 Honda Accord Navy Blue color with 40K miles and in great condition. The rate offered was so low that you cant think of walking out of there Dealership without the Car. The Senior Management is also great and friendly. My Overall Experience was really nice and would recommend all my Family & friends to go to Paragon if they want to buy a Car.Thanks Rick for all your help.

The price was great, they were very friendly. the car is wonderful. i found out about the car by using autotrader.com. i searched for all certified preowned of the make and model i wanted. paragon had the greatest price and i think it is because they have such a large inventory.

CLASSIC BATE & SWITCHI called regarding a car they had in stock, was assured that the car was available and will be ready for a test drive. When I came in less than 2 hours later, I was told that the car was "JUST SOLD!" Not unlikely but strangely suspicious. I called the next morning and was once again told that this exact car, same year make model and stock number is still available and will be ready for a test drive when I get there. BAIT AND SWITCH! Be very aware!

Hello - I just picked my Accord EX, Auto for 22,500 OTD in Louisville, Ky (including mud guards, protection package (not sure if thats worth a lot). The dealer refused to throw in the cargo and all weather mats. I could have picked up one about 150 miles from here for $250 less but the drive in this bad weather wasn't worth it. I researched prices, options, etc. for about 10 days before picking it up. This forum is fantastic! I was able to leverage a lot of the information I found here. Thank you all. Let me know if I can help anyone. Guys, I have about 1 month before I have to turn my 2007 Accord SE back in. I am looking into leasing a 2010 Accord LX-P but it's been a while since I've been in "the game" sort of speak. I haven't got the 07 inspected yet. Should I wait till maturity date is up or is it ok the try and lease new vehicle now? What's the advantages or dissadvantages of this??? Also I don't have to much info on the new vehicle other than payment. Could someone help me with that. THANKS in advance. What additional info would I need to help me with this deal?

Both employees helped me in the purchasing of a Honda Accord Coupe 2008. They really helped me out with the credit approval and with the set up of my first car. I really appreciated their attentiveness during my visit. Mr Castellar was extremely helpful during my visit because when my father and I arrived we weren't being helped and Mr. Castellar approached us and took us to the lot to help us look at the car got us all the paperwork necessary. He and Mr Levy helped us with the approval of my credit and financing of my new car. I really appreciate all their help and I am extremely happy with their assistance. And I am happy as hell with my new car!!

Joe and Jeff were pleasant and professional. After giving them the budget I was working on they showed me cars that were within the parameters I gave them. I intensely dislike salespeople that do not listen and try and sell you something you have expressed no desire to purchase. They finally found me a very nice clean Honda at I felt was a reasonably price.

My comments are already posted.Thank you JOE CARUSONE (PARAGON HONDA)You managed to have a very unhappy customer walk away as a satisfied one.To potential customers reading this, its now 4 days since i went to Paragons showroom. Apart from my initial experience, PARAGON honda had my specific vehicle (just like they said) and managed to not only match but beat my already aggressive price.

They are a bunch of crooks, they called me and said are you still in the market for a car, i said yes i am working with a dealer and am waiting for them to locate the vehicle for me.They asked my specific requirements for the car, i told them and they said they had the car in stock and it is their policy to match a legitimate offer from another dealer.So i drove there including the traffic for almost 3 hrs, got a parking ticket outside their showroom for $115.00 only to be told that they do not have the car and that they can sell the car to me for $2500.00 more when they find it.The sales manager Jason Graciano did not care for dragging me into the showroom with fake lies and stories.So i just told them what they are doing (the whole BATE AND SWITCH) is wrong. Not having the car and lying about companies policy to match the price is BS.The lady that called me her name is KIMBERLY ROJAS internet specialist.Either way i will never recommend them and much rather pay another dealer more money, than have day light rubbers taking me for a fool.

I went in with a coupon for front brakes. Of course when they checked my brakes were fine. I call that a crock of ****. recommend work that does not need to be done. My transmision fluid need to be change, air filter, in cabin air filter, shocks, all my fluids were black, and bushings. These thing were changed about a month ago minus the shocks and bushing( which are valid repairs) They practice bait and switch. Beware of these friendly crooks.

After extensive research and numerous phone calls, I found Paragon on autotrader with not 1 but 2 certified used accords for $2000 less then any dealer within 100 miles. I called to verify the accuracy of the advertisement and make an appointment for the weekend (3 days later). Once I confirmed Paragon's information, I contacted my local 5-star Honda dealer in New Jersey where I bought my last mini-van (3 miles away from my house). When I showed them the ad, the salesman started in with, "I hate when people send me ads from Paragon". He proceeded to explain how the laws are different in NY and dealers aren't held accountable for their ads, it was all a bait and switch, and good people like me waste a 1+ hour drive into the city to get scammed, gives dealers bad rep.........on and on. I thanked him for his concern and called Paragon to double-check all the accusations that were made. The weekend came and I drove into the city prepared to do battle. The only battle I had that day was finding parking. As soon as I walked in, the sales manager retrieved the car I saw in the ad and set me up with a sales man for a test drive. The sticker price was $4400 more then the ad, but before I even noticed the price, the sales manager said disregard what was printed since I had the internet ad. Within an hour, my purchase was complete (with internet price written all over Paragon's documents) and my trade-in was completed. After financing, detailing, and registration I drove out with one of the easiest purchases I have made in less time then a football game.

We shopped 5 local dealers for a used low miles Honda Fit Sport. These were in NH, MA and CT. All cars were comparable, 2008 Fit Sports with less than 20,000 miles on them. All cars had asking prices of $16,000. Every single dealers stopped bargaining at either $14,500 or 14,650. Every single dealer then announced a $200-350 "dealer conveyance fee" on top of the agreed upon price. This was after negotiating for an"out the door" price. I was told by Liberty Honda in Hartford, CT and by Lia Honda of Northampton, MA that they were obligated to charge this fee. This is not so. Lia Honda's $14,650 fit then turned out not be be Honda Certified. By the time we got to paragon I was very, very suspicious of all dealers. Anyhow, we saw a Honda Fit on the Paragon website with only 9,200 miles on it, Certified and only $14,000. Needless to say we bought it. They didn't tack on any fees, there was no BS. Everything went very simply. When there was some confusion about the process of MA registration Paragon quickly sent me a check by FedEx for the full amount of the tax and registration fees that I had paid them. Sayed in particular was very, very eager to help. The price on the car started lower than I could find anyplace in three states, the true price I paid for the car was over $1000 less than I could have paid locally without having top beat up the dealer or waste time. I feel like maybe we could have negotiated another $100-200 off the price, but since we saved so much to start with it was hardly worth it. We got an awesome deal on that car. It's true I had to drive a total of two round trips to New York, a total of 10 hours, but it's like I was paid $100/hour to do that. The car is turning out to be totally great, and we would buy from this dealer again.

After extensive research I decided to purchase a Certified Used Honda Pilot in October of 2009. I chose Paragon Honda in Woodside,NY because they were offering the most money for trade ins. Customer Service from my salesman Zeeshan Majid was excellent. Negociated price was within my range. Vehicle was working fine until my daughter left interior dome light on and battery was dead in the morning. I called Honda Care Roadside assistance who came to jump start my car. The jump start was done incorrectly because as soon as I started driving the vehicle I noticed the electricity was out. I took the car to The Bronx Service Center and called Paragon Dealership to alert them of the situation. My case was referred to Sales Supervisor Mike who also provided excellent customer service and called me more than once a day to check on the status of my repair. After I got my vehicle back, Mike requested I bring the vehicle back to Paragon so they could personally re check my vehicle to make sure it was in perfect running condition. I was treated like gold and all the perks promised to me during the negociations were honored. I also received a free service for my troubles. I highly recommend Paragon Honda dealership for its great customer service, honesty and sale prices.

To say that I was surprised by Paragon Honda's service would be an understatement. Recently online, my husband saw a car he was interested in for our family and wanted me to see it, too. He had spent a fair amount of time investigating options and we had discussed various makes and models of cars at great length. Having had a reliable Honda in the driveway for the past 7 years was proof to me that the brand was worth pursuing.I was frankly quite skeptical about purchasing a used car from a dealership as all my previous car purchases had been from trusted private sellers. As a general rule, we insist on reliability, a great price and attention to detail whenever we make any major purchase. We definitely do our homework and I'm rarely impressed by salespeople. Getting to Queens was a 1 1/2 hour drive for us, so we weren't just browsing. We were greeted by Sal, whose pleasant manner took me a little off guard. (I was prepared for the stereotypical pushy salesman.) When the car we originally came to see was already under contract I figured my doubts were being realized, but upon reviewing the other available models, I was pleased we had some choices. (They do need to find a way to better coordinate their online offerings with their lot availability, however, I can realistically understand that a good deal won't last.) Without pressure, which would have turned me off faster than anything, we reviewed a number of cars. Sal was patient, good natured and courteous. Once we selected the car we wanted, we sat down to handle the paperwork but needed to return with a certified check which was a bit discouraging. - And yet, on some level, I understood their policy.Day 2 brought us back to Queens to complete the transaction. The car needed to be detailed and inspected, and we waited patiently. At one point Joe Carusone introduced himself to us and I remarked that the process was taking longer than expected. It turned out that a new battery that had been installed during the Certification inspection had wiped out the emissions readings- something I later learned was typical but at the time, infuriated me. The car needed to be run for a period of time to have the readings register. Joe could see I was plainly annoyed and reacted proactively. He seemed sincere in his wish to right the wrong even though I was not easily pacified.Although Sal had been handling the sale, Joe stepped in to see if he could remedy any concerns I had with the car. I pointed out the ones I had and without any hesitation, he noted them with a willingness to completely resolve them. He even went so far as to offer to fix a mark more thoroughly than I had hoped, advising me that it would last longer and I'd be happier. Again, he emphasized Paragon's customer commitment. Finally, to remedy the fact that we had been held up with our purchase, he offered to get the car to me when I definitely could spend no more time waiting. As hesitant as I was, I could honestly say that this salesman was working to make me a satisfied customer.Despite my continuing reservations, true to his word, the car was delivered to my door in the time promised, with the work professionally done. I was pleasantly surprised and have to say that I can understand why Paragon Honda has earned the #1 spot in the nation for the number of used Hondas sold. Customer satisfaction has to be a big factor for their success.So, if you're seriously in the market for a quality car at a fair price without annoying hidden costs, from salespeople that actually practice customer service, I recommend you visit Paragon Honda and ask for Joe Carusone or Sal Sidiq. I hope that you, too, will be pleasantly surprised! Thank you gentlemen, for turning things around! - Mrs. J.

My experience at Paragon Honda was very pleasurable! Rick made the day simple and humorous for me and my family! I live two hours away and it was well worth the drive. I am very happy with my car and satisfied that I chose this dealership.

I went to this dealership on January 9, 2010 to inquire about a Honda Accord. I was referred to this particular dealer by a friend who said I would get great help. I got beyond great help. We were immediately taken care of and the gentleman Michale Ferman was so nice. I've been to other dealerships in the past and have had awful experiences so I was nervous at first. That went away the minute we walked in!! As I mentioned we were helped right away and Michael helped us work out a deal. We then met Gary Lin who is the buisness manager and he as well was helpful and helped us out right away. He gave us full attention and was prepared to answer all our finacial questions. Once the deal was agreed upon, they told us they had to ship the car from Brooklyn and it would take awhile. During the time that we had to wait, Michael continuosuly asked if he could get us a beverage or send out for food. David Pena also came over and said when car comes in he would show us all the functions. Even though the car hadn't arrived, David also continuosuly asked us if he could get us anything and engaed us in different conversations. Once the car arrived David showed us everything. Honestly I was amazed at the entire process and the entire team. I would refer anyone and everyone to this dealership. Overall I would score them above ten because they go above and beyond for their customers.

After extensive research we knew we wanted a 2006 or 2007 Honda CRV. Our search for a Certified Honda dealership that provided both a fair amount of inventory and good pricing for this vehicle lead us to Paragon Honda. We found the dealership while searching on Auto Trader. We live about an hour and a half from the dealership so we needed to be sure to meet with someone who would help us meet our goal which was to trade in our Audi and purchase a CRV. We were greeted by the sales manager, the person we had made the appointment with. Although he was a little late, he was in a meeting, he quickly made up for it by being extremely attentive to our needs. He matched us up w/Monica who was a bit of a challenge at first b/c it was a little difficult to understand her when she was explaining what the Honda warranty was, but proved to be a great listener, really cared about our needs and worked hard to help us attain those needs. We came out of the dealership with what ended up being the perfect car for us. And both Joe, the manager, and Monica were striving to help us meet our needs. The down side was all the arguing amongst the sales people while we were there.(And we were there from 11:30 A.M. until 7 P.M.) The men seem to be fighting amongst themselves over various things and never really had any consideration for customers being present. Some of the language, at times, was rough, not a professional environment esp. after coming out of being serviced by Audi over the last 4 years. And the finance guy, Al, was knowledgeable, but a little too much of a "sales person" for us. With finances, let's just keep it at that. He was more abrasive that he needed to be, although he did know his product and that is important. However the overall experience was a good one. We would definitely recommend the dealership to others, esp. both Joe and Monica.

Highest quality of service and integrity. My used Honda CRV was ready to test drive immediately at time of appointment. I got a great low mileage certified Honda at Internet Special price--no gimmicks and no add ons. I saved thousands. I worked with salesman, Juan Carreon, and his mgr, Joe Carusone. The whole deal was completed in a little over an hour incl. a long test drive. What a pleasant and positive experience.Allan from NYC

This place has the WORST customer service I have EVER seen!!!! Jennifer Villalba was all nice setting up appointments, customer service called me 3 times until 9pm the night prior. We work 12 hour days; set up an appointment after work drove 2 hours and upon arrival at Paragaon; we were told the vehicle we were there for was SOLD. We talk to Jennifer she knew we were on the road heading there for our 2 hour drive one-way but NEVER mentioned the vehicle was SOLD earlier that day. Once we were just told the vehicle was sold, and no longer available I called her extention; I NEVER heard someone STUDDER so much. NEVER deal with this girl!!! Back to PARAGON ....But you better believe they tried to sell us another vehicle; NOT even close to the vehicle we were to purchase. There is a spot called new NEW WORLD right down the street so I'd look else where before you stop here!!!! I was warned about this company; maybe next time I will listen!

My old 2008 Honda CRV lease was almost up and my husband and I were so pleased with the car that we decided to get a new 2010 Honda CRV! We live in NYC, and wanted to make sure our dealership was close by for future servicing visits. We were pleasantly suprised by how close and great the commute was to Paragon Honda. To add to the easy commute, we were so pleased with Paragon Honda as soon as we walked in the door. We were greeted by Rick Serrano, the saleman, who was kind, knowledgable, very accomodating and extremely funny (which was an added bonus). He addressed our needs, was very efficient, and filled out our paperwork in record time! Everyone knows it takes a while to buy/lease a car, but we never felt like it was a "process". Rick, along with Rafael Rodriguez, the Sales Manager, addressed all concerns and questions we had about the car and our old lease, they let me ring the bell when we purchased our new car (so exciting!), other sales guys came over just to talk to us and keep us company, Rick Serrano explained our new features in the 2010 Honda CRV which was great...I can't say it enough...great experience! I HIGHLY recommend visiting Paragon Honda and buying a Honda TODAY! Thanks to Rick, Rafael, Gary, Dave and the whole Honda Team! We'll be sure to recommend you to all our friends. Regards, Michele

After searching for months for a 2007 Honda CR-V in my area (Syracuse, NY) I decided that they were out of my price range. I came across a beautiful silver CR-V at Paragon Honda advertised for thousands less than all of the other vehicles I had seen. I called Paragon immediately and was put in touch with Joe P. the used car manager. He made it clear that Paragon's reputation was important to him and he would do everything possible to earn my business. The drive from Syracuse to NYC is a little over 5 hours but to make up for it Joe threw in four new tires!!! My sales person Juan had the vehicle ready and my paper work expedited so I didn't have to spend all afternoon at the dealership. The price was right, the vehicle sparkling, the only thing left...financing. Although it can be intimidating to be financed at a dealership Juan and Joe made the experience easy and they lowered my loan rate to be competitive with my credit union! All of the pieces fell together and I was able to drive away in the car of my dreams thanks to Joe and Juan at Paragon Honda. Not only will I drive the 5 hours back to NYC to purchase my next vehicle but I will be referring all of my family and friends to Paragon too! Thanks guys :)

I went to the dealership with the intention of just looking. I was approached by a salesman named Jonathan Camacho who was such a nice person to deal with. He was interested in helping me and was sincere about it. He was not pushy in any way and was knowledgeable about the car front to back, in and out. I bought the car on the spot. It was not available in his dealership in the color I wanted so he himself went to another dealership 50 miles away and picked it up for me himself. Who does that for a customer today?? I feel that he went above and beyond for me and I so appreciated it from him. If you need to buy a car--go and see Jonathan...he is the best!! I LOVE MY NEW CAR!!!!! Thanks to Jonathan Camacho.

I had a great experience purchasing a used Honda from Paragon. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by Nadeeb who took the time to listen to what I was looking for and what I could afford. He referred me to a sales person named Sal who showed me a few cars. When I finally found the perfect certified, pre-owned Honda, I wanted a better price. The manager, Mike, was more than happy to work with me and get me a great price and monthly payments that I could afford. Mike made me feel very comfortable and I was relieved to find that there were no hidden fees and I didnt need to haggle with him for a great price. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a good deal and a great car!

I visited several dealerships before going to Paragon, most in my home state of New Jersey. None matched Paragon in both friendliness of service, competence and willingness to negotiate an acceptable, and what I considered fair, price. Ariel Munoz, our sales person, went out of his way to be helpful, responding quickly to all of our follow up questions and making sure we were completely satisfied both with our purchase, of a 2009 Honda Fit Sport, and with our service. I highly recommend both Ariel and this dealership, Liz Parks

I chose to purchase a Certified Preowned vehicle from Paragon Honda because I wanted a reliable used vehicle with a better than average rating. Not only was I able to find a great choice, in a desired color, with options beyond my expectations, but Paragon Honda was also able to make all of the payments fit my monthly financial budget. I now have a top of the line vehicle, with Navigation, at a price that I am extremely comfortable with. I have purchased several other vehicles in my lifetime and I have yet to have such a pleasant experience as I did at Paragon Honda. They are very very patient and friendly with all cutomers, whether you purchase or not. The facility is very clean. They can find a vehicle to match your needs, in the choice of color desired 95% of the time. Also They have many resources to find a financial plan to fit anyone's budget. I highly recommed purchasing from Paragon Honda. The highest rating is a 5. However, they get all 10's from me.

Initially a horrible experience, but they made an effor to make it right. They led us to think the car was ours, but sold it. They then found us a comparable car for the same price - same year, not quite as nice a model, but lower mileage. Still, the finance guy was rude and they had slipped things into the contract we didn't want, but with Joe's help, we finally got the car, and it's nice.

Had a wonderful experience purchasing a used Honda Pilot from Joe Carusone (sales manager) and Juan Carrion (salesperson). Both were extremely attentive to my concerns and expectations in purchasing a used vehicle and helped locate a pre-owned Honda Pilot which looked and ran as good as new! Notably, over the summer, I had a very bad experience at the same dealership and was reluctant to return. However, the excellent service and attention I received this time from Joe and Juan more than made up for it. If you're in the market for a pre-owned Honda, I would recommend making the trip to Paragon and if possible -- dealing with one or both of these gentlemen.

I recently purchased 2010 Honda Civic from Jonathan Camacho. He answered all my questions for me and knew alot about the product. He was not pushy at all and made me feel real comfterable to do buisness with him. He priced matched a deal from another dealership the only reason why I went back to him was because of his excellent service. I recommend anyone who is interested in a Honda to speak with him you will not go wrong!..

My overall experience with Paragon Honda was ultimately phenomenal! The representative that assisted me was Jose Arias, and was extremely helpful. In regards to customer service I will rate Jose Arias a number 5 (great) because he actually sat down with me and my husband and explained all of the features of the vehicle and the costs. He actually gave us a great price for the vehicle. They also made sure we were comfortable and provided us with light refreshments. Throughout the time we spent at Paragon Honda we were treated by Mr. Arias with the best customer service, any questions we asked, were answered. I highly recommend Jose Arias as the best representative at Paragon honda and if you want a once in a lifetime deal on your new vehicle please see Jose and his financing staff. Trust me, you cannot go wrong!!!

I recently Purchased a 2010 Honda Accord coupe Ex-L at this dealership, I gotta say i dealt with Jose Luis Arias and he was very efficient in giving me the best deal possible. I got the best possible buy back price for my car everything was smooth and punctual i actually made it on time to work that day thats a lot more than i can say for other dealers out there. Mr. Arias definetly goes above and beyond for his customers and to be frank i kind of like the fact that i can get that kind of treatment in Paragon Honda i received better service in Paragon Honda then i did in Manhattan Acura when Purchasing a 2007 Acura TL lol.

My overall experience with Paragon Honda was a good one. The staff, especially the salesperson I worked with directly, Ariel Munoz, were kind, courteous and respectful. The recepitionist knows how to make really good cookies as well. I purchased a new Honda Pilot and I would recommend friends and family to visit Paragon should they be in the position to purchase a new vehicle.

I sign a contract & gave a $1000 deposit towards a 2006 Pilot. The next week I see the same car on there website for $5000 less than they told me the list price was. The sales rep David Garcia would not accept my calls for 5 days and when I did get through to him he claimed not to know anything about what I had seen. His manager Jack Levant came on the line & told me that the car was sold. He was to return my deposit that day, I called three days later to find out why he never returned the money and he told me he thought I wanted to leave the money towards another car that he could sell me. I mentioned that I had been in contact with a lawyer and he said for me to sue him for my money and hung up the phone on me. It has been about 1 month since I spoke to him & still ne money.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! Worst experience I have ever had. I was at the dealership for 10 hours just so they could fix two things they promised that they would. They sold me a certified car that needed new brakes and a oil change. They did no work to fix the car and I will never ever step foot near this dealership again. They are shady and just want to make a sale!!! STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

I have been doing business with the Paragon Service department since May of 2005 when I purchased my new vehicle. Each and every visit since that time I have found this department to provide an unparalleled quality of service that goes well beyond ones immediate expectation. My vehicle is always serviced at my convenience which includes Sunday and on some occasions, without an appointment. The results of my service have always proved to be EXCELLENT. As a result of my experience, my son and Daughter-inlaw have each leased their vehicles from Paragon. You can be certain that at every opportunity I will recommend Paragon. MANY THANKS ONCE AGAIN AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MY NEXT VISIT WITH PARAGON HONDA. SINCERELY, CHARLES R. IN FOREST HILLS

I did not feel like I was being hovered around, and sales people werent swarming around me to push a sale. The salesman Mark was very helpful and friendly and made this process very easy. It has only been one week, but so far I am a satisfied customer...

Went to this dealership a few months ago and negotiated a deal with the Jose (who had stacks of trophies on his desk for Salesperson of the Month or what have you). As I had already shopped around, I laid out exactly what I was looking for in the way of a vehicle, trim level, monthly payment, etc. Without too much delay, Jose came back with their "best offer" and I put down a deposit on my credit card so that I could come back the next day, with my wife, to sign all the papers. To make a long story short, through a friend who was buddies with a manager at another dealership, I was able to get a better deal and called and told Jose the next day. He said he would go ahead and authorize a credit BACK TO my credit card and that it would be done within 2 days (amazing, since it took them all of 15 seconds to charge my card in the 1st place). Well after several phone calls and emails to the dealership over the next week, along with messages left on the Jose's cell phone - which he was eager to give me after a deal was apparently struck - I got no replies from him or management, just email replies from a nice internet sales lady who promised she would tell Jose and/or his manager, Jason. After over a week, I decided to go in after work and just ask for this to be handle in person. Funny thing is, as I was waiting at the front desk, another irate customer called in to complain about Jose and how he was not returning her calls, etc. Coincidence? I think not. I asked for and finally got Jason (Jose's manager), who very nicely greeted me and handled the transaction within about 15 minutes. I thanked him and told him it was a shame that this is how his "top guy" handled people and gave me a nervous smile as we parted ways. Do yourself a favor and do NOT make the mistake of buying from Paragon. They are eager to sell you a car and that's about it. No customer service...heck, no common DECENCY from one of their (allegedly) best salespersons. Jason was fine and that's about it. (On a side note: as I was sitting there the day I met with Jose, I also overheard a conversation between one of the managers (who had an Eastern European accent). He was trying to "strong arm" another potential customer. The name of the game is negotiation, genius! Someone forgot to tell him that. We're talking about Hondas here, not Maseratis, so everyone who walks in there isn't rich or stupid enough to hand over a blank check just because they want a car!)

The tire light went off on my dashboard. I called Paragon (where I leased and service my car) and I was told to bring it in the same day, and Ayo assisted me immediately. The minor problem was resolved and I was on my way in less than 30 minutes! The service was prompt and efficient.

Talk about Bait & Switch! The manager of this location, Justin, negotiated a price to trade in my car and buy a new car. We put down a deposit and waited to hear from them to secure the car we wanted. When we went in to close the deal they were unable honor the deal they made with us, even though we qualified within Tier 1 Credit. In the end we paid $1000 more than we were sold and that was after threatening to not do a deal with them because what they came back to us with was closer to $3000 more. The lack of professionalism, and the sneaky nature of how this came about made me sick. The sales manager and the finance person did not communicate prior to the manager offering us the deal. And so then the finance person looks like the bad cop and tries to re-negotiate the deal. To top it off, the finance person speaks English with a very strong accent so you can't really understand what he's saying which throws you off. And he throws all sorts of numbers at you that don't make sense in order to confuse you and convince you of something you were never prepared to do. Meanwhile, I am 9 months pregnant and we needed to have the car before the baby arrives and I feel like they took advantage of that. Sleazy! Do not buy a car from this dealership, especially do not deal with Justin!

I had an appointment with Jack and he sat me down with Frank. Everything went well, Frank listened to my needs and told me what was available and what wasn't. The next day my whole transaction was given to another sales associate, which turned out to be just fine. Christina was very polite and contacted me whenever there was something important to discuss. All paper work was done properly and in a professional matter. Wendy introduced herself to me and was also very professional. She walked me through everything I needed to know about my car while I was waiting for paperwork to be done. My interaction with Wendy was important to my car buying experience. I was comfortable speaking with those that I have mentioned in my review.

I drove an hour in traffic to see a car the secretary and salesperson said they have in stock and on-site, and when I got there, they did not have the car and Jason was no where to be found, even though I called while I was on my way. This was one of the most dishonest dealerships I have ever dealt with. Thanks for wasting my time.

I put $2799 down on a 2006 honda crv with 30k miles and still ended up financing over $18k. Do I really need to explain anything else? My car payment is $430/month, which is ridiculous to begin with. Worst part: They convinced my that I walked out with the deal of the century! 24 hours later I wish I had a different car from a different dealership.

STOLEN CAR ....This is the most unprofessional, rude, incompetent dealer i have ever dealt with, and I have been leasing cars since 1996. OWNER - BRIAN IS NOT A MAN OF HIS WORDS. This all started when I took my 2006 accord EXV6 for service on Jan 2..I returned on Jan 3..my car was STOLEN...YES..STOLEN from the DEALER (PARAGON HONDA DEALER SERVICE DEPT)...it was a huge mess to get this fixed but finally their insurance agreed to pay off the balance of my loan..so I went to the dealer this past mon(feb 16) to lease another car...i tried getting a deal first with the salesman...then tried sasha(general mang)..sasha was extremely rude...did not want to work a deal out with me...i asked him what were the owners names and he refused to tell me but as i was walking out the dealership, he got the owner(brian) to talk to me...owner-brian worked out a deal for a pilot (320 per month, 3500 total out of pocket-included all fees and downpayment)...i then told the salesman i will come back by the end of the week for the deal...I went today feb 20...i was at the dealer for 3 hrs waiting to get the deal done...finally the salesman took the offer that i got from brian to a sales manager-shawn michrandani...when michrandani saw the deal(320, 3500) he was suprised and said "this is ridiculous...there is no way we would be losing out like this..i have to run this by brian"...he came back and then said "brian never told you that...brian said the 3500 was only a down payment..you still have to add tax, destination fee, bank fee, prep fee, document fee, dmv fee)...i informed him that brian is now lying and hes not a man of his words...shawn michrandani then said leave the deal if you dont want it...I left. I would think that after a dealer lost you car ( stolen), they would actually try to help you or be polite to you. These guys at paragons are nothing but D!Kheads...rude and unprofessional...DONT EVER BUY/LEASE you car from them...I had contacted HELP ME HOWARD when their insurance company was giving me a problem..you can contact HELP ME HOWARD at CKOVACHattribune.com if you have any issues with this sorry excuse of a dealership....IF THE OWNER IS LIAR...IMAGINE THE WORKERS...RIPOFFS

I had a good experience with the Paragaon Honda service dept. My service Rep. Steve was very friendly, and wonderful at following up status of my car. Although it took 3 days to repair the door window of my Civic coz they had to order a new window in, the work done on the car was very good. Highly recommended.

I was a loyal customer of this dealership for over 3 years until this last incident. Paragon had set the bar extremely high by always being on point and providing excellent customer service. Until recently, they employees were friendly, got the work done quickly and never tried to rip me off. I have a 2004 Civic that has never given me any problems since I've been more than diligent with service check ups. In March I took it in for 60k mile service which I knew was going to cost a fair amount. I ended up spending nearly $800 which was fine because I expected it. Then, as I was driving the next day the engine was making a strange noise. I didn't think too much of it because I just had it serviced. I stopped by the service station to have a a head lamp changed, but they didn't have time to check the noise and my fiance needed the car the next day. I asked Steve (the service coordinator) if I should leave it and I can work things out with my fiance or if it was okay to go home. He said he wasn't sure what it could be but said that it should be fine and that it shouldn't be a big deal since I was just in for service. I returned the following week to drop off my car and this is where the fun begins. Dropped my car off that Sunday night. No one called me until 2 pm Monday after I had called several times (In the previously listed service check I had my car back in 4 hours but someone it took them nearly 24 hours to return a phone call). All Steve could say was that they drove it and it didn't make the noise, but he had herd it previously so he didn't totally dismiss me and said they would drive it some more to figure it out. I'm not sure how this takes a whole day but fine. So then Steve calls be back around 5:30 pm to say that they can't determine the problem and need to take down the transmission to determine the problem. I asked how much that would cost. He said he wasn't sure how much everything would come to. I said my dad's a mechanic (unfortunately he live in Florida otherwise I would never have to deal with these crooks) and know that diagnostics cost money so how much is it? $800!!! I said okay but this is BS considering that I was just here 2 weeks ago and no one has touched the car since and I've never taken my car to anyone other than a Honda dealer. He reassured me that the problem is inside the transmission but it's hard to say what the problem is. I left off saying that whatever it costs I shouldn't be held responsible since I was just here for service. Since it was close to closing they would have to work on it tomorrow and he would get back to me.Day 2 (Tuesday) Steven calls around 10:30 am and tells me that the main ball bearing in the transmission is shot and will cost me $1400 to repair. But since I've been a loyal customer they can take 20% off. I said I'm not paying anything because I was just here for service and no one said anything. Steven-Well you have to understand that machines break down and there's no way we could have predicted this. Me-So what you're saying is Honda builds inferior cars then? The reason why I bought a Honda was to avoid this problem and now you're telling me I'm SOL. Steven-Well we can offer you 20% off. Me-Have your manager call me because I know you can't do anything. Steven-I will have Anthony call you and in the mean time I'll see what I can do. So Anthony calls later that afternoon and couldn't be more unprofessional. He says that I can't expect him to be responsible for every little thing that breaks down with my car. Me-I haven't held you responsible for anything until now. I take my car in for service and then the transmission is shot? That's not a coincidence and you are responsible and here's why. Either something went wrong when they changed the transmission fluid, they never changed the transmission fluid or something went wrong at the point of manufacture. If I had bought an American car we wouldn't be having this conversation because I would expect this. Anthony- Well the best I can do is $1345. Me-Well have your regional manager call me because this is not acceptable. Anthony-I'll see what I can do and call you back. In the mean time Steven calls me back and says he can get it down to $1245 (which is more or less cost for the parts). I tell him I have to speak with my fiance and I'll call him back tomorrow. After this conversation Anthony, the manager, calls me and says the best he can do is $1345. (That's interesting)Day 3 (Wednesday) I call for Steven at 9am no answer. I call several more times with no answer. I call the main line only to be told that Steve is off this day! So I ask for Anthony. He's with a customer. I ask for a call back. I call 3 more times throughout the day before Anthony calls me at 5 pm (the end of the day). I tell him to go and fix the car and that Steven said its $1245. He began to dispute this but said fine BUT they guy that is working on my car is on vacation until next Wednesday but he PROMISED (his words) I

My experience with the Paragon Honda was one of the best experience I had with any auto dealer.The salesman, forgot his name, was funny, yet serious. Knowledgable and persistent. It made the decision to purchase a new vehicle from very easy. I am happy to say that for the first time I am pleased with the the whole experience of purchasing a new car.

There isn't much to say about this place. Its too busy for its own good. We walked around and go anyone we could to sell us a car. We barely understood what she was saying and I got the feeling that she didn't know what she was talking about. They are more about getting your money right away than your own satisfaction. Stay away unless you dont care about how and were your money is going.

I went in to look at a used S2000 they had up on their site. I originally wanted to just take a look at it, maybe put $500 down to hold it and then come back in a week with $3000 to put down and since my insurance was switching companies in 2 days I'd be on the new policy and everything would be easy. They decided that they didn't really wanna talk with me about numbers so much so they just pushed and pushed to do the same day sale. Being a bit timid I fell for it and ended up putting down $500, and driving away with the car after sitting in their office for close to 6 hours causing me to miss my own birthday dinner with my family. I came back the next day to drop off the title of the car I traded in and the manager there (who was a real jerk) told me that I somehow got denied by the bank and I couldn't have the car unless I could come up with $4200. He tried to tell me that a car only listed on their site for $17k was somehow worth $20k and they were losing money on it as it was. I tried to argue with him that he was being ridiculous and that if the car was in perfect shape then yes but in its current condition then no but I had no success. I couldn't pay at the moment so he gave me my trade-in back and told me to come back the next day to pick up the $500 I had put down. As I was leaving I noticed that they had taken the registration sticker off my trade in, so I went in and asked for it back. The manager told me that they had torn it up and couldn't give me a temp sticker because the car was not theirs. After standing there for a few hours blocking their main doorway he finally went into a folder and magically pulled out my registration. I took it and drove off. The next day I went in to get my money back and they financial guy said that the manager didn't know what he was talking about and that I could have the car back. So I took the car back, having to call my insurance up and change it over 3 days in a row, having to drive an hour and a half to get there 3 times and the drive back, and then when I took the car, it wasn't even certified because the tires were bald in the rear (although they did say they would replace them and I am sure as hell gonna make them pay for those). All in all they are an incredibly pushy bunch and they are very very sleazy. I know that I couldn't have found another S2000 for under $18k at a dealership to stay with AHFC, otherwise I would have quit that place in a heartbeat. My only hope is that I can get warranty service done at any dealership and not have to deal with these jerks ever again.

I would never do business with this dealership. Tyrone guaranteed a price over the phone and then proceeded to change it during every phone call. When we finally went to pick up the car, he raised the price by 30/month. They are very dishonest, which we had heard. We tried to work with them anyway b/c they promised better prices, but never ended up honoring what they quoted.

Ladies and gentlemen as they have forwarned you.Please dont deal with this particular dealership on Northern Blvd and 57th street.They sold the car of my choice right under my nose while i was giving the deposit.They came and told me the car was sent for detailing and the employee that took the car for service took it back to the wrong lott and the car got sold. They finally found me another car like 9 hours later.I tell you no lie.Then they promised a low monthly bill.I put down a 2500 dollar deposit.im paying 350.00 a month and i had so much problems with the car and was running back n forth to their service station.it took them a month almost to put in a heater cord.i froze almost the whole winter they just recently fixed it.oh yes they tried to charge me 100 dollar deductable on my warranty.i had to go to dealership and got ugly and they called them and told them they are not suppose to charge me. Someone from the service station was honest enough to tell me to go back to the dealer and tell them to fix the paper work on the car so i would not be charged at the service station, not the dealership.i have never regret anything in my life as i regret ever dealing with paragon honda.Shame on you paragon honda you should be on blast.Furhtermore its only been a year since i've owned the car.I am miserable and strugling to make the payments.

The sales staff was completely and totally incompetent. I personally dealt with Sasha Kekovic, the general manager. He assured me over and over again over the phone that I could register the car I was buying ('08 Honda Fit) in Maine even though I was buying it in New York. But the day I came to pick up the car, he would not let me register it Maine and therefore I couldn't take it off the lot. The only reason he could give me was that "it just wasn't possible." I asked him to find out why and to follow up with his finance office who was giving him this information. He said he didn't need to. That "it just couldn't be done." Finally, I called up Portland Maine City Hall myself, and got someone on the phone who then explained to Sasha that is was perfectly okay for me to buy the car in NY and still register it in Maine. This was 4 hours after he kept me waiting in his office only to tell me he couldn't let me register the car in Maine. Once I did the work of calling City Hall myself, he was fine with me registering the car in Maine. But no apology was forthcoming and no assistance whatsoever with trying to solve my problem. I would never, ever, ever recommend this dealership. The GM was as rude and arrogant as he was incompetent.

I found an ad online and called to make sure the car was still available and they confirmed it was. I ended up driving a little over an hour with my 3 kids to go and look at the car and when I arrived I they could no longer locate the car. But offered me a more expensive car that was a year older and had 33k more miles. After they had told me that they could not locate the car my wife called from their parking lot asking for the same car and one of there salesman, Arthur said that it was right in there lot and my wife pressed him to make sure and Arthur said he was sitting there looking at it. They tell you everything you want to hear just to get you in the door but are very dishonest. Save yourself some trouble and avoid as I caught them in numerous lies.

Harrold got me a great deal on my wifes new CRV and took her accord lease back early. We were out of there with the new car the same day we walked in to the dealership and since it was late by the time we left, Harrold invited her to come back a few days later and he went over all of the options and features of the car with her.

My husband and I were looking for a used CRV. We had an appointment to meet with a salesperson to see the 2007 models. We had specifically mentioned to them on the phone and via email that this is was the model we were interested in. When we arrived the salesperson brought us into the lot and proceeded to tell us that they had no 2007 models and even if they did it wasn't worth it to buy the 2007 model but instead to go for the 2008 model. They must have been wanting to clear the lot for the 2009 models, so he was pushing us (very persistently) to look at the 2008 models. We were really not impressed and left.As well, I think the cars they list on their site and on autotrader.com are BS. I think they list to get you to come in. The had numerous CRV's on the site and then wen we can in, poof!- they were all gone!!Horrible service!

Unbelievable!! TOTAL CROOKS!!!! My Wife and I called on the phone and spoke to a KIM at Paragon. We explained that we are coming in to lease 2 cars, a 2009 Honda Civic LX, and a Honda Accord LX. We told her we don't want any hidden surprises just a final monthly price with $2500.00 down. She gave us a price of $179 for the Civic and $199.00 for the Accord which will include taxes. Well, we get to the dealer and deal with salesman ANGEL...we tell him we spoke to KIM and we have all the prices..he says let him go to the computer and look up the records. Lo and behold he smiles and says..yep..all the notes are there and he says let's close the deal. We say great! He hands us all the papers to fill out including credit forms we fill them out. He says to hold on and leaves us for about 20 minutes. All of a sudden he comes back and says his manager says that the price Kim gave us is only if we take the lone from their bank and not HONDA FINANCIAL...and therefore there is an additional $1200.00 bank fee on top of the $2500.00 we agreed to put down!!!!Needless to say, I said..look, we made an agreement you have all the notes and now you're pulling this?! We will walk out and you will lose a sale on 2 cars!! He says hold on..let me go back to my manager and see what I can do...comes back and says OK he can drop the bank fee to $900.00! I said either you give us the original agreed upon deal or we walk. To make a long story short...after trying to reduce the bank fee to $800..we decided we had enough and drove to HILLSIDE HONDA..and in 2 hrs we walked out with our 2 cars at the price we originally were given by PARAGON.THEY SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN BY THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU!!!!!

PARAGON HONDA IS THE WORST DEALERSHIP IN AMERICA! NEVER DEAL WITH THEM! I'm in the process of getting this dealership on the News, particularly SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on FOX NEWS NY. I vote that everyone who has dealt with this dealership petitions to make it globally known NEVER to deal with this dealership. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW NEVER TO DEAL WITH THEM. They are your steriotypical scam artists, and all they want is your money. I bought a used car from Abdul on May 22nd of this year, and STILL HAVENT RECIEVED MY REGISTRATION OR TITLE!!! NEVER DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE!SCREW Paragon Honda.

DON T's at Paragon Honda(PH).1.DON'T assume the car you found on PH internet site is waiting for you! After I called to make sure it is still available I got confirmation it is. However to my surprise it was sold a month ago as they informed me after I arrived .Probably they do not update this info or use it as incentive only.2.DON'T consider you bought a car after you paid a deposit.Finally I made decision to buy another car after drive test and paid deposit of 50% of the price (total at pick up) with promise car would be available to pick up in 2 Days (they needed time to register car and clean it).After I called in 2 days I was assured car was ready to pick it up.By the time I already ordered insurance for the car to avoid any delay.I was shocked to know upon arrival that car's previous ownership was not cleared yet and I have to wait for signing some documents by previous owner before my registration is in effect.Could you imagine that? They sell cars they don't own !3.DON'T think you get money back automatically if sale is canceled. This basic is something they don't know about.In 2 days the manager called me to cancel the deal because no contacts took place with previous owner as he said. He also promised to refund my deposit in a matter of 2 business days.However no refund happened during next week,my calls were not taken or returned.Only after I disputed this charge (I paid by credit card)it was resolved in my favor .However they felt comfortable holding my free credit for 3 weeks.A SPOON OF HONEY after all this nightmare at PH.The place is nice-big lots full of cars and location is perfect-highway and subway station are one step away.Just DON'T make this step and stay away or prepare for all the above...On the next day I bought another car at KIA Popular during 1 day(!) and still can't believe it. Good luck everybody !

I just bought my 2008 honda accord EX coupe from paramus honda in NJ, but I had the terrible misfortune of going to paragon honda in queens NY. I myself live 5 minutes from paragon so it was very convenient. DONT EVERY GO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rather than explain the dozens of negatives about them. I'm just going to sumarize the most important aspect. THEY ARE THE BIGGEST LIARS ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. LOOK AT ALL THE REVIEWS!!! I feel rated them very fairly because overall they dont deserve to get those 3's I gave them, but in those categories they do so dont let those 3's decieve you. I would rate my experience there a -10 if I could.

Rather than describe all the horrible details of my experience with this dealership I will be short and say - PLEASE DON'T EVEN WALK IN THE DOOR! These guys will lie and cheat and steal to make the sale at the highest profit to themselves and their fincance partners. I will also say that Hillside Honda and PS Honda were almost (though not quite) as bad in terms of their willingness to take advantage of you. I finally purchased from North Shore Honda - very experienced sales guys and very honest.

I bought a 2004 Honda accord in 2003. They have not changed1. Waited 6 hours for whole transaction. I was worn down at the end. 2. Given a new car with 50 miles on it or wait two weeks for a "newer car" (two week wait)3. Finance Manager was awful. I had to correct his math.4. Salesman Gary Lin never revealed true MSRP. Saleman showed only internet quote.5. New Salesman are Gary Lin clones, (pushy and rude)6. it took another seven hours to get the car tinted with the service department. Buyer beware.

I went to Paragon Honda with a friend of mine as we were both interested in purchasing accords. I was looking into the 08' accord coupe EXL and my friend the 08' accord sedan EXL. We got into the dealership and had to wait around for about 30 minutes before anyone bothered to ask us if we needed help. After the salesmen found out we were both interested in buying, they offered us both a great price on the cars. However, the cars will have to be shipped from a separate warehouse and will take about 2 days for the coupe and a week+ for the sedan as they needed to conduct a swap for the black/black. We both left a downpayment of 1,000 and left. The next day I received a call from Paragon telling me the VIN number of the vehicle and that it was ready for pickup. But because it was too late to register the car w/ my insurance, I told them I would pick it up the next day. After registering the car under my insurance, I called Ed and asked if the car was ready for pick up. He said yes it is ready. I went in with my father and Ed told us that the car had been sold and driven off just two hours before we had gotten there. Mind you, the vehicle is under MY INSURANCE. How on earth can they do that?They told us they would get us a new one right away and only needed some time. We gave them a weeks time and asked for out downpayment back after. They took 4 more days to get the downpayment ready for us to pickup and when it finally was ready for pickup, they had a stack of papers for me to sign. As I took up the pile and started to read them, Ed tells me that there is no need to read them and that it is just paperwork to get the downpayment back and cancel the contract. I still wanted to read it. As I flipped the first page, Ed GRABS AND JERKS the entire folder of documents from me and accused me of being rude and storms off. Are you kidding me? This is by far the worst dealership I have ever stepped foot into. They are comprised of a talented group of Professional lieing, cheating, cunning, and ill-mannered people.

My fiance and I purchased a 2008 Accord EXL w/ Navi from this dealership in July. Paragon was able to offer the best price for the vehicle (beat other offers by ~$200). Although they offered us the best price, I would NOT recommend that anyone buy their vehicle from Paragon. This dealership failed at every turn to offer the most basic service possible. They lied about our car being detailed and ready for pickup, which wouldnt have been that big a problem if we hadn't been told it was ready for pickup and made to wait three hours at the dealership and return the next day. They lied about filling out our DMV documentation to register and license the vehicle (only after repeated calls from us, did Paragon get us our permanant plates THREE weeks after our thirty day temporary license expired!!! Most dealerships will get you your plates well within the thirty days). Worst of all, they lied about sending a copy of our proof of sale/window sticker to our insurance company. We found out that they handn't sent it via a mail correspondence from Geico telling us we did not have collision coverage since they hadn't received said documents. The salesman at this dealership are polite and courteous but are completely inept at doing thier jobs and must be prodded to do their jobs every step of the way. For what it's worth, if its only a $200 difference, buy your car from a better rated dealership and not from Paragon.

Under their high pressure tactics, we put a deposit on a car on July 13th, and then realized by the next day that they were just trying to push this one off on us because no one else was buying it (the car had an avg of 30K miles per year). So we called them the next day requesting a refund. To date, and after numerous calls, they still have not put the amount back on our credit card, but they have had the nerve to call us numerous times to rate their customer service. And if you try calling them, you just get a big runaround.Best advice, avoid them.

- On July 10 I purchased a Honda Civic vehicle from Paragon dealership in Woodside, NY. I felt that I was coerced and pressured into a lease agreement. Therefore, I asked to change the lease agreement from lease to outright purchase. I requested a new bill of sale at price originally agreed upon for purchase minus alarm and a fee which Paragon explained as a "check services" to make certain the new vehicle is in perfect working order. - I made several phone calls, but only received response after writing to NY Better Business Bureau. After my experience with the Dealership, I asked to receive in writing the price of the car with list of required fees that have been added. I indicated that upon receipt I would prepare a certified check for an outright pruchase with no lease or financing. - I asked for this information in writing to be sent to me by mail, e-mail, or fax; however, I have not yet received any written communication.

Worst dealership ever. Whenever you deal with this dealership make sure everything is documented. They would take back on their words and disregard on agreements unless it is on paper. Customer service is virtually non existent after the point of sale. Being a recent graduate of college me and my entire circle will NOT be shopping at Paragon Honda.

When I first visited Paragon, it was a very friendly experience. The only thing that people might experience, that I did, was that it was very busy over there. They are making deals left and right, and sometimes you might be left waiting. But all the waiting isn't such a big deal, because when you're spending so much money, it's nice to be given time to think things through. They too were patient with us, when we needed to pick the car up with our trade-in. It took a few days for the title come through, but in the end we were delighted. Upon visiting the dealer the second day to make the deal, and buy the car, we met with a business manager to go over financing. We were pitched three add ons - extended warranty (6 years/120k miles for 1400), loss protection - replacement plan, and tire replacement plan (like a tire insurance plan). We went for warranty at first, and rejected the rest. But when we were told our APR would decrease from 7.39 to 3.09 - a considerable interest decrease - only if we got the loss protection plan (which I think is less than the 4.5 % difference in APR). We took the loss plan - which is actually worth something - instead of paying the extra interest with nothing in return. But, of course, that deal was a little bit too "magic" to understand. I think they were just trying to make some $$ in some kind of horse trade, but we're ok with it. In the end, we were very very satisfied - even though we were very nervous for a little while after having read the previous reviews left on this website.

After 6 hours of BS they managed to rip me off on $1200. Car came incomplete, with just one key. Took 2 weeks to get another key, which is refusing to start the car at times. I guess $1200 is enough money for them to risk a bad publicity. Beware!

1. They dont deliver the necessary services dealers should provide.I got a leasing contract from Paragon Honda for a 2008 Honda Civic on around March 23rd. The sales person Donald Li, promised that they would handle all the things including insurance and registration. But after problems came out, I gave them about 10 calls and they always promised to call me back but they NEVER did.For the insurance, I believe they intentionally showed me the insurance quote with insufficient coverage (the lease has an item about coverage) to tempt me to sign the lease, since I told them insurance was my concern. I contacted them and visited them in person, they said it was not their problem and asked me to handle it by myself. For the registration, my temporary registration has expired for almost three weeks and I havent got it yet. I visited them in person after several I-will-call-you-back calls and their manager was just making up stories.Now I got mails from both insurance company and leasing company warning that I dont have enough coverage for my lease, and I dont have a registration for my car. Mail says my insurance will be cancelled if I fail to provide the registration.2. They forged my signature in a contract. I found a discrepancy of my payment and I found out I had been enrolled in a Motor Club. I asked for the agreement from club and found out that I DID NOT sign the contract. There was a signature which LOOKS LIKE but IS NOT mine. Paragon Honda forged it. The manager said they would figure it out and call me back, but the call never came.3. They didnt remind me of optional service.I carefully read the contract when problems came up, and I found optional service was added into it. I was told that the service would be provided, but they didnt mention a word that this service is optional and causes extra expense. Funniest thing is this service does exactly the same thing as the Motor Club contract does.

I have a horrible experience at this dealership. Yesterday I finalized a deal with one of the Sales Manager for a new Honda Pilot 2009. This is after the usual song and dance show of: sales person takes your offer to the manager and the manager comes with a price, you refuse and ready to walk away and then the manager comes in to negotiate the final offer. Well we finallized the deal with all details since this will be my 6th lease with Honda. I know pretty much what needs to said without leaving any loopholes that they can use against you. I told them that I will be back the next day with the money for down payment and my old Pilot (to turn it in). I went in today with my entire family as they were interested to come back on the new car. After I chose the color and sit down to sign the papers the sales person almost doubles the monthly pay, telling me that this is what the head of sales at this dealership wants to charge. He acknowledged the conversation that we had yesterday but he is an employee and needs to follow boss'es orders. I called the sales manager who had made the final negotiated offer yesterday. He also was surprised at this number and apologized for this error and rushed back to the sales chief to get the final negotiated price that he quoted. He comes back 10 minutes later with a sad face and said that he has to follow what the General Sales Manager wants.I was extremely disappointed but being a gentleman walked away from them. I caution everyone going to this store to be extremely careful.

Do yourself a favor and please spread the words for people not to go to this dealership. Last week one of my best friends bought a "certified honda pilot". Being his financial advisor, and knowing that he has a FICO of almost 800, I know that he could get a preferred rate. First the business manager Alan Gensler, tried very sneaky to include the extended warranty without explaining it to my friend. All he kept saying was that that was the final payment (warranty included), but since I had already calculated the pmt, I've told my friend to show him why they were getting a higher number. I actually made my way to the dealer after listening (I was on the other side of the cellphone) to the business manager saying, "You don't need your friend, I am giving you a great deal" (again, he never mentioned that he was including the extended warranty in the pmts). When I arrived, armed with my HP-17B (Financial calculator), I immediately told the salesman to take off the warranty and to show the pmt without. But that was not even the worst. Next day my friend realized that the tires did not match, they did not give him the manuals, gas tank was empty, wiper blades worn, and missing keys. The salesman, Matt, was so stupid that when we confronted him with these issues he went on record to say that "the tires do not have to match" ???? is this guy for real??? We've told him to check item 61 of Honda pre-owned certification (all tires have to be OEM and have to match). By they way he would never return calls, we had to hunt him down. My friend and I went yesterday to also confront the business manager Alan Gensler who is one of the rudest persons I've ever met in my life, to let him know why my friend did not get the 3.9apr offer that they had, instead he gave him 7.99%. He tried to give us any excuse that he did not know about it, even thought it was in the newspaper, in their site and in some flyers we brought, which by the way, the only requirement was that you had a FICO of over 750. Mr. Gensler running out of excuses then said that he did not give it to him because he did not buy the extended warranty!!! Was he kidding me!. I turned the tape recorder on my cell phone on because I wanted him to repeat that, but he noticed and I asked him again, "Mr. Gensler, does my friend has to buy the extended warranty in order to get the lower APR?" he changed his tune (again because I've told him I was recording our conversation). Not only was he so condescending, but obnoxious and extremely unprofessional. He literally asked us to leave his office. Can you believe that.I only wished that I could have researched this dealership beforehand and found a site like this one. They also have one of the worst records in the BBB site. AGAIN, if you know of anyone trying to buy a car from this dealer, please tell them to go somewhere else. They have not customer service manners and they try to deceit their customers

Avoid this dealershipI went in with pictures of cars that were advertised. They lied and they said none were in stock--even though I called and they verified the cars were available. I went in for a honda crv.....tried to sell an accord. Took me several blocks away so the customers wouldn't see that thewy lied. they were very condescending and all around dishonest. I'm going to call "shame on you"! avoid this place!

I submitted Internet price requests to all the Honda dealerships in the Queens-Long Island area. Paragon came back with the lowest price that the other dealers said was just "impossible". Indeed it looked to be below or just a hair above Invoice, based on the invoice prices listed on the various sites like Edmunds, etc. Despite all the bad reviews I thought I would check them out. Bane was very nice on the phone and assured me they had the car in stock and he would put a "sold" sign on it (5pm on a Friday) for my visit the next day (2pm on Saturday). After waiting for him an hour he tells me that the car was sold, financed, registered and taken away just two hours before I arrived and that no one told him. Given how slow these people are I know that was just impossible, but why waste their time and mine to lie just to get me in so that I leave completely angry and bad mouth them to everyone willing to listen? I just don't get how they think that will help sell more cars. But it appears that every Honda dealer in this area is equally as dishonest. No one really wants to directly answer the question of "do you have this car on your lot". Such a waste of time. Too bad you can't buy new cars on eBay directly from the manufacturer and cut out these slimy people.

My wife and I bought a 2008 Honda Accord from Johnny Shi at Paragon Honda recently and have to say that I was overall quite satisfied with their service. I thought Johnny was very honest and forthcoming with me, and gave me a very decent initial price (which I should have and most likely could have pushed back on but, like an idiot, just accepted - but the price was still lower than what kbb.com says is the prevailing price in this area). He also did not push any features on us that we didn't want. Johnny was also just generally a very nice person, which we appreciated. The car itself is great and we love it so far - haven't had to go back for any work on it, so I can't comment on their service division.There were two elements of our experience that weren't really ideal. First, we were at the dealership for about eight hours total. Part of the problem was that I hadn't brought my ID along to register the car with the DMV, so they drove us back to our house to pick up my passport. Part of the problem was that they had the model and color we wanted, but in their warehouse in Brooklyn, and it took a few hours to have it sent up and cleaned up for us. In the end, I think a big part of the problem was that we didn't get to talk to the financing guy until very late, probably because it was a weekend and therefore quite busy - so I think our wait time could've been cut down at least 3 hours if we had gotten to see him earlier than we did. Obviously we weren't happy with that.Secondly, I don't know his name, but I did not have the impression that the financing guy was being forthcoming with us. We ended up arguing with him for over two hours, and at one point it got sort of heated and we almost walked out (after having been there for about six hours already). In the end, I was very happy with the terms of our financing, but I imagine this guy makes a lot of money off of people who aren't willing to ask questions about the numbers he's throwing around. I would recommend bringing a financial calculator, or using your phone or PDA to access a website with a car payment calculator where you can enter the principal, the interest rate, and the term of the loan and see if you end up with the same monthly payments that the finance guy is telling you. Our basic problem was that he kept throwing numbers around for monthly payments based on a set of features he was trying to sell us, but kept avoiding our direct questions about what APR we'd get, and we had a miscommunication (or he misspoke or attempted to mislead us) about whether there were any fees hidden in the financing he was proposing. Eventually those fees got pulled out of the deal (they were .To be fair, there were some good parts about our experience with the financing manager. For one, we liked the eventual terms of our financing - we got a good rate and he waived the bank fee. We maybe could've gotten a better deal from a bank, but this was easier and we plan to pay it off within a year anyway. Also, he didn't pull any tricks with us regarding our credit, which I've heard is fairly common - he told us straight up where we stood credit-wise, which was accurate. Lastly, we accidentally left some documents in his office (passport and social security card), and he was nice enough to call us and let us know; I know that it sort of goes without saying that someone would do that, but we appreciated it nonetheless.In the end, despite those issues, we thought we got a great car, and were very happy with the terms of the deal, both in price and financing. Though I can't speak for the other sales staff there, I at least had a good experience there and disagree with the people who say categorically not to go to these guys.

This dealership needs to be closed down by all means... When saw an ad on the internet for a 2007 Honda odydessey for $16,495.00 needless to say the price seemed like a scam, So my husband and I started calling to see if this was real , then have six of our friends call then had my sister in law and brother in law go look. But before they went for the hour ride they asked if the car was there and April said that she was looking right at it and had it ready for them to look at it. They got there nobody knew where the car was and that no such price for a 2007. Then we started calling from where we were at home and they still insisted they had the car for that price and it was still on the lot for sale then the stories started flying it weas sold, then it was mis priced it was 24000.00, then they could not find it , boy they really lay it on thick they are the biggest liars I have ever met!!!! I hope they get put out of business by someone soon!!! We contacted the Attonery Gernals Office. I asked to speak to a manager they gave me Authur he said he had over heard the conversation about all this deal but he is a liar he spoke to my brother in law so he lies too!!!! PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS DEALER THEY ARE LIARS, SCAMMERS AND DIRTBAGS!!!!!!

It took me approx. 6 hrs to sign and close on my deal because the sales people were lackadaisical and indifferent to all the customers there. All they cared about was selling the car to anybody and getting more customers to pack the sales office. The salesman offered water and cookies at one point, but never even came back with that. Even though, the dealership offers fair prices, the sales people strong arm you and make you feel worthless. BOTTOM LINE: HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Don't go to them!!

I visited this dealership to purchase a used 05' Hyundai Sonata. Seemed like a great price but I have a feeling I'll be paying for it. First of all these guys really are crooks as everyone says. We agreed to the internet special price on the car and then the sales person says "let's see what it wil cost to get this out of here for you." He gives the keys to one of the guys to take over to the shop for a final inspection. 10 minutes later he picks up the phone and hits an extension on the phone. I truly believe there was no one on the other line, because he hung up quick to give me the "good news" only $699 to get the car prepped to go. I guess there are people who just say ok to this. I however questioned what repairs it needed. He wasn't prepared to answer that question as his face turned red. He then started listing things off like oil change, transmission fluid, brakes...quite a few hours worth of work. But weren't the brakes checked in the supossed 110-point inspection.. and did you just ask if I would take the car home today??? I told him I'd take the car as is and change the oil myself..Once I got through that it was time to deal with the finance manager. Great news my credit is so good that I qualify for a special program. Do I want no warranty and a rate of 10% or 3 year warranty and 6%. Well that's a no brainer until they try to work $3500 into the price of a $6700 car for a warranty. He gave me the estimated payments, way higher than I expected. I said I should be able to get the car with nothing down at payments of about $150, he just laughed and said that's unreasonable. So I agreed to the warranty and lower interest rate... when I finally saw the print out to sign there was the $3500 for the warranty, which he insisted the lower rate was paying for. "you wouldn't buy an appliance without a warranty would you" he said, to which I replied. I wouldn't pay $750 for a warranty on a $1500 regrigerator either. After 6 hours in the dealer I was proud to say I got out of there through all there scams and got the car for $6700 plus tax and title. Oh yeah the payment $152 a month with nothing down.I was proud of myself until I found the trunk of the car gets wet, leaks somewhere back there. Then this morning while on my way to church on the NYS thruway doing 65 mph my hood flew wide open. Hood is wrecked, just glad the windsheild didn't break in my wifes face or that there was noone behind me. Not sure what will go next, but should be inteeresting to see.In retrospect if they are a bunch of crooks, why wouldn't they unload junk. Stay way from Paragon!!!! Please!!

DO NOT SHOP AT THIS DEALER. I have been to many car dealers everywhere, this was by far the worst auto dealer I have ever been to. Filled with snakes of human beings. Awful people. Snake oil sales men. This is where the stereotypical car dealer image comes from. I drove seven hours to the dealership to look at a car that they said was there, but it turned out it was sold two weeks ago, and I believe now that it may have never existed and they use it to lure people in to buy cars they didn't come for. I wouldn't be surprised if they have been charged with criminal conduct at some point.

Well, well , well still up to your tricks. I purchased a vehicle from these "fools". First they don't know how to add, and your papers are "funny". The owner must be hiding behind his desk because he doesn't seem to care how his business is being run and I'm still waiting for a response to my e-mail. If your going to buy a car from this people and strongly recommend that you don't. You should take a course in accounting because the finance dept and its head Mr. Chowdury can't add, multple or subtract. The sneaker fat boy w/ the light eyes and his buddy Sasha can't add either and they act like they do you a faavor by selling you a car. Michael Fermin your just as bad what roll do you play "nice guy". I'm a firm believer that what goes around comes around.DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE, TRUST ME.

CROOKS!!! I just bought a 2008 CRV and had the old "bait and switch" tactic done on me. I went in and was told they had the car which we test drove and to go home and bring my other car to trade in. An hour later when I returned I was then told that the car was already sold! The finance guy Mel, is another sneaky crook! He is very unprofessional, did not give ALL of the required paperwork on the date of purchase in order to avoid us catching the setup for his sneaky trap, which was an extended warranty that would cost and extra $,4700, when he told us it would be $23 a month for 5 years. Do the math-doesn't add up. Never being told about this extra $4,700 I went back and told him I didn't want his crappy extended warranty. I had to go back three times, and when i asked for a break-down of the plan, the response I got was,"I am not repeating anything. That is in the past. I won't say a word about it." I also asked him about the document that contained the break down which was never given, and he had the audacity to say to his manager, "they are trying to trap us, they dropped in on the floor on their way out." He rushed us out, saying, "it's done with, NEXT!!"I am totally disgusted with the whole situation.

Very Professional and knowledgeable. gives a reasonable price. free cookies and sandwiches and sodas . makes the customer feel like family. I highly reccommend this dealship to everyone. Michael Firman treated me very fairly and answered all of my questions and gave me a great deal on a 2008 CRV.

Found a certified pre owned Accord online and figured I would take the trip in to Queens to check the car out and hopefully drive it home today. After 3 hours of paperwork, test driving, and waiting for them to find keys to move cars out of the way for me to even start the test drive, I find out that the car was a repossession and they don't have the title to the car. Basically, I can't buy the car because the title in not in the possession of Paragon. Title still in the possession of original owner who most likely will not sign papers to give the title up. I actually shouldn't of even been able to test drive the car in the 1st place since Paragon DOESN'T own the thing. Crooks I tell ya. Do not waste a minute of your time going to this place. Nowhere to park. You have to walk all over the place looking for the car you want. It's just plain ridiculous. Car should've never been put on the internet in the first place. In my opinion, noone has a clue there. DO NOT DEAL WITH PARAGON HONDA!!! Buyer beware!!!

For a check engine light problem they keep my car for over five days, stating that they were unable to repair my car. They charged me hundreds of dollars just to check my car, there mechanics are incompetent and they dont know what they are doing. I guess they only know how to do oil change its sad. They dont answer there phone, unable to get hold of the supervisor to complaint. My Honda accord paint, leather seat, glass repair done at there shop was inferior. Say away from this company or you will have nothing but problems.

The main reasons to avoid Paragon Honda absolutely: you might die of old age while waiting to finalize your purchase, and they (and by "they" I really mean General Manager Sasha Kekovic) will be horribly rude to you in the process.We are moving to Maine and buying a car to take with us. Our lease in New York is up, and we have a signed lease in Maine to prove our residency. Every car dealership we've talked to - including Paragon - said this was no problem; they'd register the car in Maine as long as we had proof of residency. When we went to put down the deposit, they balked at doing the Maine registration, but then decided that if we picked the car up right before we actually drive out of New York, it would be okay.But no such luck. Today, on the aforementioned day of driving away, it's all of the sudden a huge problem again. Their new problem is that, according to the unidentified source at the DMV (seriously, we asked for his/her name and contact info and they refused) we had to have a utility bill. Our sales person Jose was actually quite nice about it, but he didn't seem all too worried about helping us. The battle moved on to Mr. Kekovic, who one can only assume, by his behavior, hates customers. After my husband got confirmation from officials at both the Maine DMV and county courthouse that it was indeed fine to register the car in Maine for us, Mr. Kekovic finally relented. But - and this is my favorite part - he also demanded that my husband give back the business card he'd given him, presumably so that my husband wouldn't report him. Too bad, Mr. Kekovic. I have no idea what sort of gain Paragon Honda was hoping to achieve by badgering us about the registration. It simply baffles the mind. Therefore I'm forced to assume that they were just being jerks, and that seems like an odd way of doing business. Perhaps New Yorkers just need better options in car dealerships. Are there any out there?

Paragon Honda Sucks!They are very careless in dealing with customer's concern.I bought my car before Thanksgiving, paid for extra Honda care (useless) package and they have not processed it yet!When you call the customer service, they transfer you to 20 different people who refuses to help you in any ways.You know the reason why I gave this dealership such low score!!

Came to the dealership for the inspection. Was told my computer was not responding to the NYS Inspection system and I that have to drive for at least 50 miles to make the computer ready. I was told this problem was due to my car battery being disconnected at some point or maybe my car was standing for a long time without being started. Never had anyone disconnected a battery in my car and the car never stood for more than a couple of days because I drive the car to work 5 days a week. Anyway, the next year I had the same problem during an inspection. I was told to drive the car again for 50 miles and come back. This time I went to a local car repair shop and they were able to determine in a matter of 10 minutes that the wire connections inside the computer were bad. Paragon Honda never even bothered to check for the problem. I was able to get the car fixed at another Honda dealership upstate NY.

Never again. Do not go here. All of the employees are thugs, liars and thieves. The saleman is very unreliable. Can not get in touch with him after the day of the sale. The service ppl are hooligans taking hours to install lo-jack and then they makes me take the car to get it detailed at another location. The finance manager who apparently "left" the company lied about the warranty package. She said that the car would be comprehensively covered for 7 and not the 4. Do not go here. They will try to take your money. As enticing as the car might be, it's not worth the lies and trickeries they have up their sleeves. I wish the BBB would come and inspect their transactions.

Bait and Switch. Rip Off. Internet Sales department just wants to get you on the lot. I drove to NY from PA to pick this vehicle up. I only drove into Queens because I kept confirming that the vehicle I wanted was still available during the drive to New York.When I got there, a salesperson informed me that the vehicle was sold the previous day. I told him that I had spoken to their sales department 10 minutes prior and they told me the vehicle was still on the lot.The user car manager has no business being there. He has no idea how to treat a customer. I saw about 50 people waiting to purchase a car there.I would advise you to stay away from Paragon Honda. It is a scam. There are terrible car dealers and then there's Paragon Honda. They are at an all new low, especially the manager.

I bought a blue Civic which needed a repair including bodywork six months later. The purchase was really a comedy as the finance manager, whose wife gave him a broken arm, lied to me about my credit. On the repair, the dealership send my car to Deans' repair a few miles away and they had ten days but took three weeks to finish the repair. Meanwhile, I bought another car. When I got the blue Civic back, the paint was just horrible. I tried to get the dealer to fix the problem but they did nothing. The hood and fender and bumper looked like cheap nail polish. Paragon called the Honda rep for the district after I wrote to HONDA in Connecitcut - a guy named Russell who is just a clown for the company who tried to manipulate me into liking the wrong color. I made a DMV complaint. The result when they looked at the car was to give me some money and make the dealership pay a heft fine. The body shop did not replace some support bars. The DMV said the color was close (no clear on my body and no flex in the bumper paint.) Six months later the paint on the bumper was cracked like alligator skin and falling off, and the front looked wierd, but the money I got was not enough to repaint the problem areas. Sold the mechanically good vehicle to a friend whose teenage daughter needed a car. Paragon Honda has an integrity problem with their sales people; as well as their repair department. This comes from the top down since their owner, Paul Singer is one of the 25 or so richest men in USA, and this dealership is simply amusement. Brian Benstock married his daughter so you have zero support complaining to the company true owner. Check the DMV complaint web site for Paragon.

Don't waste your time in this dealership. The finance manager Gary Lin charged me $4000 optional items on a 07 Accord without tell me. After I found this out on the contract paper, I was told he won't sell me the car if I'm not going to purchase any of those. I refused the deal and he told me I will receive my deposit refund in 3 business days. I called to them everyday to inquiry the process of my refund and was told I would get it tomorrow or in few business days. In fact, I received my refund back in almost a month after I visited the store and talked to the manager again. Type Paragon Honda in Google and you will find many bad reviews and complaints about this dealership. www.bbb.org also pointed this store out has an unsatisfactory record."Reports to the Bureau indicate that Paragon Motors of Woodside charges consumers in excess of $2000 in extra fees that are not immediately disclosed to consumers. Consumers report that prices of vehicles are higher than advertised. Consumers also allege that it can take over 2 months to receive a deposit refund when they choose not to purchase a vehicle through Paragon."I learned my car buying lesson from this store.

This dealership doesn't appreciate peoples time and money. I was visiting the dealership for a 07 honda odessy . I met with salesperson Mike fermin i was given a quote that was outrageously low. When i returned later that evening to make a deal the price was not the same it was about $75 dollars more a month and 2000 dollars more to put down. I got in to argument with the sales person and told them i wasn't doing business with them. The next day the secretary called me about ten times. I told her i leased the car from bronx honda where they where respectful and gave me a quote which they kept. Don't waste your time or money to them they are scamers and don't appreciate your business.

the worst car sales people i have ever dealt with. I had to drive there 3 times to put a deposit on a car and each time i got there was told i was to late and somebody already put a deposit. so the last time i was assured and re assured that the deposit fell thru. So being that this deposit fell thru twice i brought my mechanic to check out the car to see why people kept giving up deposit and not taking car. Anyways it turned out the car had many problems, oil leak, bad turbos, bad cv joints, exhaust ready to fall off, broken hoses and others that i wont mention. This car was obviously used and it was an Audi but seemed like a good deal except the problems. So after everything i was ready to put down a deposit negotiating the price down significantly if all problems werent fixed prior to delivery. Anyway after sitting down i was told that there had again been a deposit put on the car. Needless to say i left that place and ignored all calls from the dealer after that calling me to see if maybe if this deposit doesnt go through maybe you can finally get the car. Yeah right!! even if it didnt i would never buy a car from this place or deal with them in anyway they are all morons and have no system in place to see if deposits have been put on cars??? Not to mention the first time i saw the car it was raining the windows were open and there was garbage all over the car??? who does that when they know your coming to look at it. That should have been the sign for me never to go back or deal with these utter morons.

We're on the market for a new family vehicle because we have a 16 month old and another on the way in March of 2008. We decided to try Paragon Honda since it's only about 4 miles from home. After getting a price quote from Edmunds and sent to Paragon, I got two phone calls within three hours and had an appointment for Monday 9/24 at 7:30 for a test drive. We arrive at the dealership wait approximately 10 minutes. Suraj was assigned to us and we told him we were looking for a CRV with 4 wheel drive which is important because of my long drives to work. He showed us a 2007 EX-L with the full blown package which was intriguing, but out of our budget. After a brief demonstration of the EX-L model, we wanted to take a test drive. After 5 minutes of looking for a desk and getting a copy of my license with the words "do not run credit, you are being monitored", he disappears for 30 minutes. Finally we take our test drive, but in the EX-Base Model :(. Even though it was the base model, the car was great, roomy and fits our needs. After the test drive we asked him to go over some numbers on the 2007 CRV EX-4WD and he wouldn't. Going back and forth about prices I saw and printed from the Honda website, he still wouldn't discuss numbers. After 10 more minutes we asked him for his business card and materials about the CRV Models and he said he didn't have any. He said to me if you want to make a deal come on Sunday 9/30. Having been in Real Estate sales for six years I know he works on commission and know the similar tricks. While he was quite friendly and not pushy, he definitely made it clear that he was only looking to discuss numbers if we were willing to make a deal that night. Quite disappointing since I told him I was already pre-approved and had my credit report with me. I think that bothered him!! After 1.5 hours of BS WE WON'T BE GOING BACK!!!! ADVICE -- GO PRE-APPROVED, PREPARED WITH QUOTES AND WITH YOUR CREDIT REPORT -- THEY HATE IT!!!

Worst service center I've ever dealt with, I own a Honda Accord and brought it in for service. The manager Mr. Patito is very incompetent and thinks his ego can fix almost any mistakes his crew makes. They tried to do extra work when the vehicle did not need it, and when the vehicle was returned to me it was dirty and it has grease stains in the interior. The customer service is lacking and the service reps are rude and condescending. Would never purchase a car form theses morons and will not use the service center again. THEY ARE A RIP-OFF ***BUYER BEWARE***

I bought the Honda fit 2007 from this place.As everyone experienced that sales man tying to stop and sign a contract before my APR shown.Also they use tricky calculation to rip off for all the time.Finally I sign the contract and drove my car to home.I review the invoice that was included 7 years extended warranty and its cost $2300.Actually I did not check very deeply for final invoice but they should tell us what is the detail of cost would be charged.Now I am trying to cancel the extended warranty. (I called Honda financial call center, which they told me I can cancel this warranty within in 60 days and full refundable)

I have only positive things to say about my experience with this dealership. Sure all the sales people seem a little shady and they will try and pull the wool over your eyes with extras but if you are intelligent, have done your research and know what you want you should be OK (I recommend getting an internet quote and bringing it with you). We visited them at the end of June to purchase a FIT Sport. We had a test drive, talked through a deal (we were purchasing with cash) and were given a VIN # on the spot. They did try to up the price as the car was not due for delivery until after the beginning of July but I was very firm and told them that the price we negotiated and that was written on the bill of sale was all I was going to pay and I was happy to take my business elsewhere. I received a call on June 27 to say my car had arrived earlier than anticipated (guess they wanted the sale on their June numbers) and we went and picked up our new car on June 30. We are thrilled that we chose a Honda.

This Dealership is a big RIP OFF. Service was pathetic, and nobody seems to care enough for customer service or excellence. This Dealership comprises a maximum of Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Afghanisthan sales people/muslim folk, that have high disregard for other folks, with lots of mistakes made in paperwork. Dont get me wrong, the other salesman are not good and play the same tricks. If the Salesman was not successful in extorting you, then definitely the Financing Personnel will take their best shot at you. With an excellent credit score, they trick you into getting the Tracking System and Extended Warranty for an addt. 4 thousand Dollars over the price of the vehicle which they claim is to bring the Interest rate down. My Warning: Dont trust anyone, and do your homework before your big purchase. The funny thing I forgot to mention was that after the Salesman finished his sale, he was less interested in me, and was focussed on find another customer rather than completing the whole process with me. Talk about 6 - 8 Salesman who were seen idling away and blowing off smoke. I am surprised the management does not monitor their productivity or activity. While standing out in the parking lot, I heard from a Bangladeshi national who was successful in cutting the best deal for a low mileage, high performance vehicle just cause he knew to speak the salesman's language. The secret is if you are dissatisfied with one salesman, find another one and you may stand to get a better trade-in value/discount/special price.In the End, after reading all the reviews posted in the site, I can Reaffirm that it all what Paragon has done to all their clients is unfortunately TRUE. The Deal with the Salesman vs the Deal with the finance Manager (big Swindlers). Like I said, Honda will lose their clientele if Paragon Honda continues in this ruthless manner.

My husband and I had a terrible experience with Paragon Honda in Queens New York. We had pay the down payment of $500 to wait for a loaded 2007 Honda CRV . We were promised it would be here in 2 weeks. We were told that the shippment was late for another 2 weeks because of the weather. We told them when we ordered the car that we had planned for a two-week vacation if the car could not be here in that week. We was willing to pay for the whole amount in credit card but we would like to be sure that the car would be there when we came back from vacation. They told us that it would be fine and we would be able to pick up the car when we came back. When we came back and picked up the car, we were told that the car was sold to somebody else and they would refund our credit of $500.They are dishonous people. They probably sold the car to higher profit. The price to us was $27,500. We are very upset about the whole event. They do not care if we would report to the consumer affair.DO NOT BUY ANY CAR FROM THIS DEALER.

This Dealer is BIG RIPOFF. They Don't let you meet the Finance Manager unless you buy the car insurance for the car and make a deposit on the Car. Once you buy the car insurance then you get stuck with higher APR. Can anyone tell those Cheaters that this is not fair deal to customers. Finance Mgr is suppose to tell the APR to the customer when financing. This is bad business.I will rather buy BMW now. Terrible Experience buying Acura from them. I was looking to buy a TL and visited Paragon, I told the salesperson I am serious buyer. First they wouldn't give me a Price and tell me that they will give me the Final price when I am ready to buy. Finally after 1 hour or talking we got to a number. I left and went back the following saturday. Once I arrive to the Paragon I inform the receptionist that I am here to buy a new TL. She asked me if I have been here before. I said yes but I like to see different salesperson because the last one I visited I couldn't understand a word he was saying to me.To make the story short we agree to a price, I left the deposit of $500 and also informed that I will come back another day with my family so that if everyone approves the deals then I will buy. The manager agreed and signed on the binding contract. I went home and did a research I felt that they were pricing me very high. I called them and asked them to cancel the deal and I like to get the refund. The salesperson said its fine. After that manager calls me and tells me that they will give me TL with NAV with the same price quoted if I come into office. I go to the OFFICE the same manager says I never said such a THING. COWARD. I was like ok I don't even want NAV then offer me discount on without NAV. He gives me discount little bit here and there. But he is asking me before I buy the car he wants to see the CHECK. I am like I want to see the FINANCING MANGER before I can buy. I am not taking the car home for free. How can I tell u if I can afford it or not. They charged my CC $3000 and I don't even know what my APR is. MANAGER says to me I can't see the FIN. Mgr because I need to purchase the Insurance first then I can see him. I tell him that thank for waisting so much of my time, I don't even want to buy from you. Please issue me my credit. I am waiting for my credit. I will file complaint against. They are crooks, they want to hook you on the price first. If that doesn't work they will hook you on the APR. Watch out FOLKS. Basically the bottom line is this dealer if they quote u a price. then the only thing left for them to make money is on APR. They knew my credit score was very high. They didn't want to sell me the car because they are making very little amount. This is abslute rip off Dealer. Please do yourself a big favour. I don't think anyone should trust this dealer.

Similiar to another story, I made a deal on a Honda CRV-EX lease on one day that I was happy with. So I left a $1000 deposit on my American Express Credit Card. Two weeks later when the car came in and I thought I would simply sign some papers and drive away with the car. Wrong! I met with the Finance Manager, he started striping away incentives from the deal becuase he said the price was too low. He then said I could have some of the orginal deal for another $15 a month. He stated the sales person made a mistake and that the particular lease company that I was put through did not offer these incentives. I rufused to pay the extra money and they brought in the sales manager Shawn Mirchandani. I should Shawn my contract and he said he could not help me and that the contract was not signed by a manager, thus was no good. I asked for my deposit back, he stated it would have to be done Monday. That confused me, because they can make charges but could not refund on the weekend? I called American Express and had them stop payment. This is old classic car dealer trick, they hedge their bet that the customer will fold because they really want the car. I did not!

Long story short.... just pass Paragon by DO NOT STOP if you see any adds from them Dont waste your time they will scam you .If you see any positive adds about them here they are from employees.I bought a car from them after seeing a add that was misleading (well it was a flat out lie) I took the car back the salesman and they wanted to give me half what I just paid them a month ago. Then they wanted to give me the same SUV 2 years newer for 4 times what they said mine was worth.. Getting to the point They could not show me a car fax the system was down. Now buying from a dealer they have to disclose any accidents witch they told me there was none, along with the 3rd row seat the salesman told me it had (it had the compartment all right, but when I got home and opened it there was nothing there like it had been stripped out) among other things I have had the car 3 months put 1700 miles on it spent over $3000 in parts this car only had 50400 miles on it and this is what I have replace in 1700 miles.Upper ball jointsLower control arms Water pump and upper and lower water hoseHeater coreThermostat2 power door locksShocksIgnition and plugs they did not even have the correct plugs in this thing.I tried to trade it in (since I have a family and the thing brakes down on me every time I drive it) and the new dealer got me a car fax this thing was wrecked one year after build and has had 6 owners in 3 years. Its worth about $1000 . I would have never even looked twice at this thing if I seen the car fax and they new it. Now I owe $10,000 on a car worth $1,000 and I am scared to drive it with my daughter in the car.THEY WILL SCAM YOU

I went to Paragon Honda (Woodside, NY) on 01/08/2007 for 2007 Honda Odyssey EXL (silver). Thier internet department had contacted me. They gave me a very low price quote (27345 including all fees except for registration and tax). they gave this in writing and took a 500$ deposit. They gave me in writing that the total including tax the total would be 29400. Emmanuel, thier sales person who dealt with me, told me to pick the car up on 01/10/2007 evening and he told me he would give me VIN no so that I could buy insuarance before coming in. they did my credit check and my score in very good region. While dealing for this price they did lot of tricks like saying just pay the deposit and we will give you a VIN number right now. After I gave deposit, the told me that the exact vehile is not known and they would give the number after a day. On 01/10/2007 eveining when I went there to buy the van, the finance manager told me that if did not buy the extended warranty, they will not be able to sell the car. I immediately said no as the warranty would have costed me thousands. the manager then told me that they cannot sell the vehicle. When I asked about refund, he told me they would reund the amount to my credit card. After few weeks when I enquired about refund, they tried to sell me white or black minivan. I refused these colors and then they offered me 2006 silver odyssey with DVD at same price, which I again refused it was from old model year. After that I tried numerous times to contact them for refund, but nobody picks up the phone. I have complained about them at BBB, FTC. I will file a claim for punitive damages in the cosumer court. Should teach such kind of thugs a lesson.

On their ADs, they offer speical 1.9% APR. After you have a deal with the sale person, the finance manager is giving you the hard time about the financing. In order to get their special low APR rate, he asks you to buy two of five after sales service packages such as extenend warranty ($2,000), passive alarm ($600) so on ...If you refuse to buy any packages, the finance manager would not approve that 1.9% APR promotion rate.If you want to pay off the new car by giving the bank check (pre-approve by another bank), he said the dealer will charge $500 bank fee). *BS - I don't believe any bank will charge their customers $500 fee to deposit a $15,000 bank check.If you want to pay off the new car by credit card, he said the dealer does not accept credit card. *another BS - if the dealer does not accept any credit card, why accepting customer's deposit by credit card?Anyway, you need to be careful to deal with the finance manager at Paragon. In order to get their low rate APR promotion, the trade off is buying their service packages. Good Luck!

Tried to use the bait and switch tactic on me. Internet salesperson, Kimberly Rojas, assured me that the vehicle I wanted was in stock and to make my appointment on the weekend. She called me twice in the week to make sure I come down to the dealership. I asked her again if vehicle was available and she says it is. I made my appointment and she was not there and was quickly assigned a salesperson, Chris Kim. Chris tells me that the vehicle I wanted was not available and if I would like to see another. I flipped out and made a scene at the showroom. I asked why did you waste my time calling me into the showroom when you don't have the vehicle I wanted. He kept apologizing profusely. Later, I came to realize that the internet sales dept earn their living by trying to get customers into their showroom regardless if they have the vehicle or not. Just do yourself a favor AVOID PARAGON HONDA. Also, they refused to match or beat pricing I got from another dealership. They requsted I show proof of pricing which I did and they still refused.

dealership is terrible.... we signed the contract....but when we went to get the car.. they say that since only we signed it..and the manager didn't.. we can't get the same deal that we previously agreed on.. and they only tell me this after i take out a bank check for the downpayment. TERRIBLE.. gave us the runaround before finally speaking to the manager..which was utterly useless

I'm new at this car buying thing, but let me tell you that I left the dealership fuming!!! THEY SUCK BIG TIME!!!! I saw a car online that I was interested in, so I sent an email. The next day someone calls me to make an appt for 2 days later. Mind you, I told her about the car I wanted to see. The next day, someone else called to confirm the appt, and I also told her about the car. When I got there after work, some punk shakes my hand and gives me a financing application as soon as I walked in. Like I said, I'm new at this, so I know now that I should have just left. But instead I filled it out, and the jerk is sitting there making wisecracks about me getting lost and how it's a big lot, then when I left something out on the application he made a comment about "that's why he marked it with 2 X's". I just gave him a dirty look. He obviously didn't know what he was doing, and asked me the same questions twice. At one point he asked me who would drive the car, and I said it was just me. 10 seconds later, he asked me "who else" would drive the car.... I couldn't believe it, and said, "I just told you it was only me." He was like, "Oh ok, you did say that." I ALSO mentioned to him about the car I wanted to see. He then got up to answer his cell phone, and some other jackass comes over to shake my hand. He claimed that I was interested in a 2002 car that I never even heard of. I corrected him and told him what I was looking for. He also had wrong info about the car I was trading in. Then I started getting pissed. I really felt like they had no clue or interest in what I wanted. I asked him why I had to fill out an application when I didn't even see the car, and he LAUGHED and said that the car was sold 2 days ago. I lost it!!!!! I got up and raised my voice, "You mean to tell me that I sat here for 20 minutes filling out an application without even seeing a car and now you tell me that it's sold?! And you think it's funny? Why didn't anyone tell me that?" He got uncomfortable and started looking around. Then he said that they had just found out it was sold (BS) and that he could get me a newer car for less $$ (more BS). I continued to raise my voice and said I wasn't interested and that they just wasted my time and lost a good customer. At that point I just walked out. I sent a nasty email. A week later some rep called me to find out what happened. I told her how unprofessional and dumb the staff was, and that I was definitely going to spread the word. Half an hour later, a manager called to say how sorry he was that this happened, and how he wished he had helped me from the beginning. Oh well, as they say, too little, too late..... They can ALL KISS MY ASS. I'll never go back.

PART 1 of 2<br><br>I purchased my car back in 2001, way before I was wise enough to do any research on Paragon Honda. I was in the market to purchase a brand new S2000 and had placed my order with them after hearing that Paragon was selling these at MSRP (very difficult at the time to find any dealerships selling at this price). They placed a $500 deposit on the credit card and inputted my order for a 2001 S2000 in Silverstone/black for $32,740 that should arrive within 3 months. Shortly after placing my order, I discovered on S2ki.com that there was another dealership right over the bridge in NJ with S2000's in stock and selling them a little below MSRP. "Oh well", I thought to myself, I cant cancel my order since I placed a deposit on my cc so I didnt even bother fighting. <br><br>At almost the 3-month mark, I contacted my salesman to see if I could find the status of my vehicle. After waiting on hold for over 45 minutes (No exaggeration), I was told that my car was on the truck that very same day coming in! Excited, I scheduled to come pick the car up on Saturday morning.<br>When I arrived, I took a stroll around the premises and did not see any S2000's anywhere. I walked in at noon (my scheduled appointment) and James was nowhere to be found. As I stood in front of the reception desk listening to the receptionist chatting in Spanish about god knows what she finally looked up, rolled her eyes, and asked me to have a seat. She pointed me in the direction to a line of chairs totally filled to capacity. After standing for about 10 minutes, a couple that was waiting for their salesman huffed and walked out. So I sat there for another hour and guess who strolls in the door. I was told that the man was on a test drive, but it was obvious that he and his coworkers were out on an extended lunch. I confronted him and asked him where my car was and that it was a long drive back to NJ (Home) and that Id like to complete this before the sun goes down so that I can learn the innards of my new car. James brought me to his desk (that he shares with 2 other salesmen) and started making phone calls. He then got up and disappeared for approximately 20 minutes. Another salesman (desk share-er) asked me to please go back into the waiting area so that he could conduct business. So there I was, back again in queue with my salesman, and S2000 nowhere to be seen. <br>

I was cheated and told contradicting fables. Extremely pushy sales people with only 1 goal in mind: to swindle you out of your money! Joe Rosa is by far the worst salesman I've ever dealt with! A liar, a cheater, and a worthless human being! I own an Acura and bought a Honda from them as my 2nd vehicle, and based on this sole experience, I will never buy another Honda again! Finance guy told me I had bad credit, jacked up the price, told me I cant back out of a deal! Called me 2 days later, said he made an error calculating tax, told me I must resign my contract and pay more! Unbelievable! I wonder why Honda hasnt closed this rotten dealership yet. This type of con-artistry should be illegal! After the sale was made, they couldnt get my plate transferred. All calls went unanswered, and ignored. My temporary plate expired, the dealer didnt care! After 2 months of endless, 1 way communication, I had to go to the dealer in person, and I was told it wasn't their problem and to resolve the issue myself! Isnt that what I paid you for, morons?! Save you health, and your money, and go somewhere else. Youll thank me later.FYI: <a href="http://www.ripoffreport.com/results.asp?q1=ALL&q5=paragon+honda&submit2=Search%21&q4=&q6=&q3=&q2=&q7=&searchtype=0">Rip Off Report</a>

These crooks refused to give me back my credit card and car keys after I said I wanted to leave the dealership and go elsewhere. They offered my $3K less on my new Odyssey than it was worth and drew up a phony sales ticket in order to get my credit card. Do yourself a favor and go outside of NYC if you're looking to buy a Honda, In the city, all the Honda dealers are crooks.

Unfortunately, there is not enough space to list all my complaints. Basically, they denied I had an extended warranty. When I showed proof, I was told my "extended" warranty only covered the first 3 years or 36,000 miles. Duh! Nice try.<br>I wish there was a "0" rating here.<br><br> <br><br>
LateAppointment
Jul 8, 2004
After reading through the less than enthusiastic reviews of Paragon Honda, I felt compelled to add my review of the routine service appointment with their Service Dept. My experience was clearly atypical to the experiences shared by others here, yet it was surprisingly friction free, and painless:<br><br>I made an appointment for the mandatory NYS Inspection, a procedure that repeats itself every year, and is inexpensive yet time-consuming. <br><br>I telephoned Paragon's Service Dept (same number as Sales, 7185075000, follow the prompts for service) and was promptly connected to one of Paragon's Service Reps. The Rep took my information and asked for my availability after which we found a suitable date for the appointment. I work late, so I specified a late hour arrival, 5pm. It was important that the dealer acknowledged that they were able to inspect my car so close to closing time (I think they close around 6:30pm on weekdays). <br><br>The Rep politely explained that an inspection could take a 'long time' to complete, and that I should be 'prepared' to spend a few hours waiting. That was reasonable and therefore expected.<br><br>On the appointed date and time, I pulled into Paragon's Service area, following the instructions from one of their lot attendants. The area seemed very busy. Uniformed mechanics worked on dozens of cars, and Service Reps (they call them Service Writers, because they 'write up' repair tickets for customers) were talking to arriving customers. <br><br>Immediately, I was approached by one of the writers who addressed me by my name. Pleasantly surprised, I thought they must have checked the appointment logs and were waiting for me to arrive.<br><br>The inspection went without any problems, as I have a fairly new car, which I bought courtesy of Paragon Honda a few years back, and which I hope to keep for a few more inspection periods. <br><br>After the new inspection sticker was attached to the windshield, and the forms signed, the Service Reps recommended an oil change and a tire rotation. Once again, I was surprised, as I was prepared for a long list of 'necessary repairs'. I declined and moved on to the part which contained no surprises:<br><br>The bill. It was exactly what I expected it to be. No additional charges, no 'miscellaneous dealer' fees. <br><br>It was after 7pm when I pulled out of the service area. The heavy motorized chains were lowering the massive gates of Paragon's Service Dept behind me. <br><br>Turns out, I was the last and a very late customer of the day, yet Paragon kept their entire Service Department open so that the mechanics could finish my inspection.<br><br>Customer Service in my book.<br><br>

Dealing with Paragon Honda is a plain out nightmare. Terrible service. In one case my husband waited in a long line of cars for service one morning; was mysteriously directed into an empty building no other cars were directed to; when he asked the person who directed him if he was sure this was where he was supposed to wait, the man said yes; some time later another employee drives a car in and asks my husband what he's doing in there. Duh. So now, guess what, my husband has to go to the BACK of the LINE and start over; when he gets to the front, sorry, no more cars accepted today.<br><br>This was our second experience; we went back against our better judgement (first experience a real nightmare) because they're the only dealer near us.<br><br>We'll go ANYWHERE for service but this place in the future.

I have read over 2 dozens of complaints in the BBB.org about Paragon Honda before. Considering the sales volume they are dealing with, we decided to give it a shot anyway. We are particular looking for a fairly new used car (year 2002). With a lot of research beforehand, we are pretty much the type of educated customers that nobody can hard sell anything to us, even it means that we have to visit many dealers and/or wait for their inventory update. We have visited Paragon Honda 3 times (in the meantime, weve visited many other dealers as well). The first two times was bad but typical, e.g. "You must be misunderstanding, I said I can give you the price for that older car. My manager would not let me give you this price to this 2002". So we try to deal with a different sale person every time (thinking it may be just one bad apple). However, the very last experience upset me enough that I would put my effort to share it. We are in the certified used car department, trying to work out some numbers for one particular 2002 car with Tyrone Laws. In the meantime, the sales Nelson that show us the car, walked to the back office (manager office?) then told us they ARE running a carfax report for us (note: according to Honda.com policy, customer can requested CARFAX from dealer free of charge for any Honda certified car). A minute later, Tyrone came out from the back office, told us they are NOT running the carfax report because the computer was broken. At this point, we are question why Nelson specifically walked back and checked about the CARFAX status, would lie to us about it. Are they trying to team up to play some game? All of a sudden, a third sale person whom sat behind us, (which we were NOT dealing with him AT ALL), shouting out, "WHY DON'T YOU TWO JUST LEAVE NOW, NEVER COME BACK AGAIN". My boyfriend requested his name politely, in the exact word, "Who is speaking over there?" "What is your name?" For some odd reason he would NOT state his name, neither Tyrone nor Nelson in the same office say a thing. This time I asked him about his name, and he replied rudely, "I AM NOT SPEAKING TO YOU" Well, he was sitting on "Randy Cabreja" 's desk (maybe he is Randy but does not have guts to admit it; maybe he is not, but it seems that Tyrone and Nelson wanted to support their worker's act as a team. I guess it means this is the culture and manner PARAGON HONDA is represented how the potential customers to be treated. Whenever a customer question about their honesty, they would just tell the customer to leave. One last tip, when you are requesting to speak to a higher manager, don't think you are speaking to a person with the final saying because apparently they have many managers in a department to cover up for each other. There is always ANOTHER manager have ANOTHER *final saying* to override what the *previous* manager told you. I would agree with the number of complaints in the Better Business Bureau (bbb.org) about Paragon Honda. As soon as they learned you are 'too educated', they treated you like crab because they know they cannot earn a good commission or take advantage of you by convincing you to sign papers that you might not have normally signed, if you really knew what kind of business practice you're dealing with.<br>I have called american HONDA today at ( 1-800-999-1009 ) to lodge a complaint against these and others like these people.

I've never experienced worse customer service in my life!! The sales people and manager were extremely rude! They must have lied about their warranties 100 times within a span of two hours. The people at Paragon are rude, nasty, unethical people who are clueless when it comes to customer service and how it affects business. I have a law suit pending with them. The first time I spoke to my attorney regarding my situation I learned that Paragon Honda is NOTORIOUS for poor customer service and unethical practices. <br>Paragon Honda purchased an auto insurance policy (for a vehicle I said I didn't want) behind my back!!!! They processed paperwork to finance this vehicle WITHOUT MY CONSENT!!! FRAUD!! They lied to the bank after processing the bogus paperwork and said I had driven the car off the lot. When I contacted the bank about this matter is when I learned that they had purchased an auto insurance policy. These people are unethical sick CROOKS!! Now I have to waste my time and energy in court proving that I've been FRAUDED! I NEVER SIGNED PAPERWORK, NEVER PURCHASED INSURACNCE, and I NEVER DROVE THE CAR OFF THE LOT!!!! <br>STEER CLEAR of Paragon Honda and spread the word!!
