Unauthorized Add-On Charges on My Vehicle Purchase
Ugur S.

BE CAREFUL!!! My recent purchase on 08/30/2025. After carefully reviewing my signed Buyer's Order, I discovered that several additional products and services were added to my contract without my knowledge or consent. The unauthorized add-ons include: Lifetime Oil Change - $1,500 Nitro - $399 Theft Protection / ETCH - $499 Perma Plate - $1,023 These products were never explained, discussed, or approved by me at the time of purchase. This is a serious concern, as these unauthorized charges have increased the total cost of my vehicle by $3,421. **Update 9/13/2025** Last week, I visited your branch to pick up my license plate. I spoke with the Finance Manager and Ms. Erinda, and they told me that all the charges taken without my knowledge would be refunded after 30 days. Now, as requested, I have emailed Jay Jaber again yes, again, because when I first left my review here, I had also emailed the entire company, but never received any response. Let's see if there will be one this time. I will share all updates here.

Within two weeks of purchasing, the check engine light came on. The code that came up was P0430: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2). When I brought the vehicle in, I was told by Lawrence that he would "make it right" or "get me into a new vehicle." I was so happy to have this reassurance, and felt confident the problem would be resolved. I came to your business for a reliable car, and trusted those that assisted me. This replacement was completed by your service department on 12/20/2025. I was so thrilled and grateful, that I actually wrote a hand-written note sent via snail mail thanking the team that worked with me through the process. Now, I feel like an idiot for thinking they cared about anything other than money. Since then, the check engine light came on again. The code that came up was P0340: Cylinder 4 misfire Detected. When I brought it to my mechanic, he found the wiring to be less than optimal. Nearly negligible, considering your service department had this vehicle, looked this vehicle over, and then even did work on this vehicle. The wires that were next to nothing, hanging by a thread, should have been seen. The wire caps that were found were meant for electrical wires in a home, not in a vehicle. This should have been fixed prior to selling, regardless of the "condition" it was being sold as. The engine of this car could have exploded on my drive home. My mechanic fixed the wiring that was neglected by your service department with the proper wires and parts. The check engine light was cleared. It has now re-appeared, with the same code as the first time, P0430: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2). Less than 2 months after being replaced. While working on the car, my mechanic noted that the plate for the catalytic converter did not fit properly, giving him the inkling that it was an after-market catalytic converter that does not contain the proper amount of platinum to operate properly. I understand that this car was purchased "as-is," but there is a fine line between making things work to sell them and ignoring very detrimental issues.

List of additional packages that were added to the price of the car without my consent.

***10/21 still haven't received a call to resolve this matter from the dealership. The packages listed in the attached picture were added without my consent.

Long story short DCH Montclair Acura sold me these tires a mere 43 days ago. These tires have 3 different brands, all different tread lvls AND gashes missing out of 2 of the tires. I have attempted to call the manager 3 times now I will update accordingly. Update: it has been almost a month since they asked me 10 phone calls 10 voicemails later nothing. They suppiled a "dumbie number" to help with thier public image.

This dealership is fantastic. Roger, the salesman, made the whole experience seamless. I am happy with my new car and highly recommend them.

I was torn between two models of the same car (charger)even after doing my own research. To sum up, I chose a showroom floor model with the help of both sales and finance, and picked it up next day with no issues. Sincere thanks to this dealership and it's staff. J. Jean

This was one of the most frustrating and disappointing car-buying experiences I have ever had…read more I went to the dealership to look at a 2022 Honda CR-V EX-L with approximately 42,000 miles. Before making the trip, I found the exact same vehicle advertised at three different prices on different websites: $28,500, $26,400, and $24,900. I contacted the dealership beforehand and specifically asked about the pricing. I was told they would work with my numbers, so I made the trip expecting a straightforward and honest discussion. Instead, after I arrived, inspected the vehicle, and asked the salesperson for the out-the-door price, I was given a figure of approximately $30,500. $24,900 advertised. $30,500 OTD. That's approximately a $5,600 difference from the lowest advertised price. I understand that taxes, registration, and legitimate fees are part of buying a vehicle. But when the same vehicle is advertised at three different prices--and the lowest advertised price is $24,900--I expect the dealership to clearly explain the difference and provide an honest, itemized OTD price. What makes this even more frustrating is that I contacted them before coming in and was told they would work with my numbers. I made the trip in good faith and with the intention of buying the vehicle if we could agree on a reasonable price. Instead, I felt like my time had been completely wasted. If the actual numbers were going to be anywhere near $30,500 OTD, that should have been made clear before asking me to come to the dealership. This is exactly why people are skeptical of car dealerships. Advertise one price, get the customer in the door, and then present a dramatically higher number. Whether or not there is an explanation for every fee, the customer should not have to drive to the dealership to find out what the real price is. My advice: DO NOT make the trip based on the advertised price alone. Get the complete, itemized OTD price in writing BEFORE you go. Ask about every fee, add-on, and mandatory charge. I came prepared to buy a vehicle. I left extremely disappointed and with absolutely no confidence in the way this dealership handles pricing. If I could give them minus 10 stars, I would. I would not recommend this dealership based on my experience.

I normally don't leave reviews, but this shop absolutely deserves one…read more We've been bringing our car here ever since we bought it, and over the years they've earned our complete trust. Even after moving away, we would often make the trip back just to have them inspect our car because we knew they would give us honest advice. A while back, a chain oil change shop told us we needed new brake pads. We came here for a second opinion, and they explained that the rust we were seeing was normal and would wear off with regular local driving. They were right. A year later, another shop again tried to sell us brake pads during an oil change. We immediately brought the car here, and after a thorough inspection, they told us the brakes still had about 2,000 miles left. That level of honesty is rare. Instead of recommending unnecessary repairs, they only suggest work that actually needs to be done. Their prices are fair, their workmanship is excellent, and most importantly, they genuinely care about their customers. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic, you can bring your car here with confidence. In an industry where it's hard to know who to trust, this shop has consistently proven that honesty still exists:)

It took about two months but we were able to get our plates. Tip to other yelpers: skip the headache of talking to your sales rep that doesn't know anything and go straight to the manager. I think internally they should have escalated this to the manager before me having to write the review but seems like a process they should work out internally and properly train their staff.

I bought a 2024 MDX from this dealership through their affilliate Driveway (another company I will…read morenever use again). The car had less than 17,000 miles and was the color my wife wanted. It was Acura certified and the Carfax looked great. I thought it was a good deal. The car arrived and the first thing we noticed was the terrible detailing job. The interior was dirty and looked like it was detailed in 5 minuted. There was a broken part on the fron passenger seat that we took to a dealer near us a few weeks and a slight vibration in the brakes. Turns out the brake rotors were warped a $1900 job that was not covered under warranty. We hadn't even put 500 miles on the car yet. How do you miss warped rotors in a Certified Preowned inspection?!? Much less broken seat covers. Called DCH multiple times and left messages. They didn't even call back. Terrible service. They did not stand behind their car. I guess they are living up to the New Jersey stereotype. I would not buy here. The dealership in NH was incredible and I wish I had bought here. They also confirmed that this dealer did not do their due diligence. I filed a complaint with Acura North America.
