Great service

Great service! Mani and Tamara explained everything and couldn’t have been more helpful, cheerful and polite. The service plan (paid monthly) meant that I had nothing to pay on the actual day of the annual service, and having a courtesy car made everything very convenient.

Overall the “booking in”process was good as were the staff at reception. However being charged £30 for the use of a pool car for a few hours was a let down, given the work to be undertaken was at Honda’s request for a recall check. In summary I suggest Honda/ Brayleys consider the implications, as it takes years to build a reputation but only minutes to lose it.

Great service buying used car

Mark at Brayleys made buying a used car for my daughter a very easy process. He was friendly and took time to explain about the car and what they could do for us. At no point was there any pressure to buy. He also arranged for a new MOT and for the car to be delivered to us. Overall, excellent service.

Absolutely excellent service from Dom

Absolutely excellent service from Dom. He is calm, courteous, efficient and does not make you feel under pressure to make a decision. If you don’t like going into showrooms, I would highly recommend you try going to see Dom at Brayleys Honda in St Albans.

Underhanded sales tactics

We decided to buy my wife a Honda Jazz from the St Albans dealership remotely (we live 100 miles from them), after exchanging emails and calls with the salesman (DC) at the final stage when I was about to put down a deposit he tried to sell me a 2 year service plan & make out that he would also extend the warranty by an additional 9 months if I purchased the 2 services. When I told him that the car already had 2 services left of its 5 year service plan he told me that those 2 had been removed by their admin team!!?? I explained that I had never heard such a thing from any other Honda dealership and that the service plan stays with the car for whoever buys it. He went away to ‘check’ and called me back to say that yes the remainder of the service plan & extended warranty were indeed included & can’t be removed from the car, followed by blaming all of this on his manager. At this point all trust was destroyed and we simply couldn't buy from them with confidence. Having bought many cars over the years from various dealerships I was genuinely surprised and disappointed that a main Honda dealership would be so underhanded & unprofessional.

I have been using Brayley Honda for many years & the service I received, especially from sales person Perry Clive, did not let me down. As a busy professional I appreciated how well Mr Clive listened to my needs and presented options.
