It had been a long time since we had gone car shop...

It had been a long time since we had gone car shopping. We had been driving a '97 Camry which had 171K miles and it had finally reached the point where we had no desire to put money into it. After doing research (Consumers, AAA) we decided to check out the Honda line. We ended up at DCH Academy Honda in Old Bridge because it was relatively close to home and we'd used DCH Toyota for our '97.

We had a wonderful experience. DCH Academy is not one of those overwhelming dealerships. We did not find it intimidating at all. And the staff made us feel very comfortable immediately.

We originally went in thinking we'd just do a test drive, expecting pressure to buy, but resolute that we wouldn't be pressured into anything we didn't want to do. There was no need for hesitation. We didn't feel one minute of pressure from anyone. And, yes, we ended up driving out in a new 2013 Civic!!

We worked mostly with our salesman Joe Koedros (Joe K.), but Joe Scardigno (sales mgr) was also involved. Joe K. treated us like we were the only customers there. It was a Saturday, the end of the month and they were very busy. But even though the whole process took a while, Joe K. never once made us feel that he was spending too much time with us. He guided us through the whole experience and made sure we were satisfied before we drove away.

We would not hesitate recommending DCH Academy Honda and, specifically, Joe K. We have another car that is up there in years and won't hesitate going back to Joe when the time is right!!
