5 stars without hesitation.

I had an excellent experience buying my used car from Brayley Honda Hemel Hempstead, largely thanks to Aamar.

Before the sale, he was extremely helpful and gave me clear and detailed information about the car. This was my first time buying a used car in the UK, so I was unfamiliar with many aspects of the process. Aamar made everything very easy to understand and explained both the advantages and the possible risks fairly and transparently. I never felt pressured at any stage.

During the purchase, he made the whole experience incredibly relaxed and comfortable. After I bought the car, he also spent plenty of time showing me how everything worked and gave me a detailed introduction to the vehicle.

I have bought more than 10 cars in the past, in different circumstances, and I can genuinely say I have never had such a positive car-buying experience.

Aamar is professional, trustworthy, patient and genuinely focused on the customer. I would highly recommend both him and Brayley Honda Hemel Hempstead.

Professional & courteous

The team kept me informed throughout the day, provided options for new tyres and sent through a video of the service inspection. The courtesy car was also good value.

I gave the car to Brayleys for a service and MOT. The MOT was done first by another company, and had an advisory "cooling fan partially seized". This was interpreted by Brayleys as completely seized, and they were encouraging me to let them fit a new fan at over £800. I said no, and took the car home. When I looked, there was a wire touching the fan blades and making a noise. I moved that out of the way and the fan worked perfectly saving me more than £800. So, why did they not investigate the fault before trying to book the car in for a replacement fan?

The Service department (Andy Lobo) always goes over and beyond to ensure the service me and my family receive is exceptional.
The reason we will not go anywhere else, is purely because of the relationship we have and if Andy did move on to any other company - we would follow him.
I have been going to Honda Romford since 2012, since we bought a used Honda Civic and the technicians there, have always been great and had good communication.

I really value the service Andy has always provided.

Buying from Brayleys

The service was outstanding and the whole experience was seamless from start to finish. This was in no small measure down to the enthusiasm and personality of Bradley Stevens, who will undoubtedly prove to be a great asset to the company for many years to come.

Terrific service all the way

We had terrific service all the way through the purchasing process and delivery of our Honda Jazz. We very much appreciated the kindness and support provided to us by Kawsar Ahmed at your showroom, on the test drive and later when he delivered the car to us. His professionalism and knowledge of the car were invaluable when he gave a thorough demonstration of its features on Monday. Our thanks also go to Clive Millen, the manager, for his understanding of the situation we are in. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brayley Honda Hemel Hempstead for the excellent service they provided. Many thanks.

£180 charge to investigate a small problem is crazy!!

I went to Brayleys Honda today as I had a problem with the electric wing mirrors not folding or able to be adjusted on my Honda CRV. I asked if someone could have a quick look at the mirrors & give me a rough idea of the repair cost. I was told that there was only 1 'technician' in the building & that I would have to book it in at a later date for an investigation at a cost of £180 to tell me what was wrong with it. I asked the receptionist if he was joking, but was told that was the cost of an investigation. I would have thought in 2026 at a main Honda dealership somebody somewhere in the building would be able to spare me a few minutes of their time, show some interest & try to help. Sadly today at Brayley's common sense & customer service appear to be a thing of the past. On my way home I stopped at a small independent garage to see if they could have a look, in 3 minutes he found the problem, gave me a rough idea of the cost & my car is now booked in for the work to be done in 3 weeks time. Over the years I have taken my CRV to Brayleys Honda several times for servicing etc & have had no problems, but after today I will never use them again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are sorry to hear that you left our dealership feeling disappointed with your experience. We understand your frustration, particularly as you were seeking a quick assessment of an issue with your wing mirrors and have previously used our servicing department without any concerns.

To clarify, our diagnostic charge covers the time required for a qualified technician to investigate a fault and accurately identify the cause before any repair recommendations are made. On the day of your visit, our workshop capacity was limited, and unfortunately, we were unable to offer an immediate inspection without a prior booking.

We appreciate that, from your perspective, a brief visual assessment may have seemed appropriate, especially given that an independent garage was able to identify the likely cause of the problem quickly. We regret that we were unable to provide the level of assistance you expected during your visit. Customer service is important to us, and your comments regarding how your enquiry was handled have been noted and will be shared with the management team for review.

Thank you again for your feedback. We are sorry that this experience has affected your confidence in our dealership, and we appreciate your previous custom over the years.

A thorough job but no car wash

A very thorough job and I was able to take the opportunity of purchasing a two year service plan at the same price as the previous plan over two years ago.

What was very disappointing was that you failed to wash the car, it was always a treat to pick up a sparkling clean car after a service.

Hi Nick, Thank you for your review. As part of our sustainability initiative, we’ve removed the traditional wash and vac that used to accompany a service or MOT as part of our commitment to a more environmentally responsible approach. In place of each wash and vac, we now partner with Ecologi to plant a tree instead. It’s a small change, but one that supports a wider environmental commitment. We appreciate your feedback and hope the quality of your service met expectations.
