    Excellent experience ordering and purchasing my new 22 Outback with Kevin Benson. They worked with my schedule to make the drive to take delivery and even picked me up at Carmax where I sold my previous car. When I realized one of the accessories I'd ordered hadn't been factory installed, Kevin made sure the part was in and set me up for service. All good in the hood. And I love my car! Thank you

    Me and our sales person Larry helping us get our new subaru ascent

    Great experience! We had Larry with us to help us get our new car. He is very nice and attentive to our needs. We were able to get 0% finance for our car. Also we received personalized card from him after. Very nice guy. Great staffs too! Finance guy was great, sales manager also came by to check on us.

    No initials on the brake pads. 5k miles later and rotors are trashed.

    DO NOT GIVE THIS DEALER YOUR TIME/MONEY This dealership has the WORST service department I've ever experienced. For five years I've taken my forester there after purchasing at Goldstein, a plan I had and mostly stuck to while paying the vehicle off. Well fool me over and over. Nearly every experience with service was terrible, and in multiple different ways: - I got dropped off after I was called to come pick the car up. Once there I learned the washer took keys home. I had to wait for them to finish a shower and drive back. This took over an hour and a half. I was stranded. - I was encouraged twice to forgo a brake pad replacement so I could have one done on warranty. Next trip back required me to have to rotors replaced because the breaks were so far gone. - Most times I picked the vehicle up it was filthy. So much for free cleanings with every service. - had to replace rotors a second time after the previous trip included an inspection. The inspection certificate from 5k miles before claimed the pads were in great condition. When I showed the inspection receipt to the service guy he claimed they never check all the brakes and 5k miles is enOugh to go from great to worse than terrible - my Subaru has a knocking noise that I hear whenever turning wide left turns (twice or more a day i hear it). They can't find the issue claim they can't hear the loud knocking sound. - when dropping off for the knocking sound I was told about a recall and that I would have to leave the vehicle overnight if I wanted the recall taken care of. When I went to pick up the nnxt day, nothing was done. They didn't have the recall part in stock that they convinced me to leave the car for, they didn't do the oil change, and what's knocking? I will never go back. I will actIvely encourage everyone I know to avoid Goldstein.

He met with the owner and his son- John Aidala and Steven Aidala, the day before, Being the Matriarch of the family, I felt he should be buying from a larger know company. The neighborhood has deteriorated over the last 30 years and to be honest, I was reluctant to even drive there. Talk about a step back in time-the 79 yr old owner was sitting right there in a 1970's desk, personally greeting anyone that came through the door. All the paperwork was really to be reviewed and more than satisfactory. The inspection had been done at the closest dealers. The son advised me he would pick up my Brother at his home, later that day. "They" would complete everything at the DMV and my Brother could drive his new car home that day. John was reminiscing about "our" school days-we all attended Vincentian Institute.

    This was written in November when we purchased the car, yet Yelp somehow buried it. It says…read moresomething that I went looking for it months later to make sure our great experience was shared! We just purchased a used car from Quail Auto Sales and could not have had a better buying experience! We had been looking for a car for our son for a long time at numerous dealerships. Although there had been cars at other dealerships that we were interested in enough to purchase, we never found sales staff that made us feel comfortable that the information we were given was reliable. For us the car was important; but equally as important was feeling that we had gotten a fair deal and trusting that what we were buying was without hidden issues. This is why we purchased from John and Steve Aidala. Their dealership is locally owned and has been for many years. The Aidala's have been part of the Albany community and pride themselves in maintaining a superior standard of service and fair business practice. We saw the car online on a rainy Saturday 30 minutes prior to Quail Auto Sales closing for that day. My husband called to make sure that they were still open and that the car was on their lot. Their website said they were not open on Sundays and we knew that this Prius was a great find. John answered the phone and my husband asked if he could make it there 10 minutes before closing, could he still look at the car? John told him that the rain would make it difficult to really look at the car and he would be happy to meet him there the next day to show him the car, even though they aren't open on Sunday. Every single interaction after that was the same good customer service, fair dealings and just an over all good feeling purchasing a car from them. I will return again to buy from Quail Auto and have recommended them to friends and family.

    We stopped in about a week or so ago to look at a vehicle…read more We were assigned a sales person. Although the assigned person was very pleasant they gave us totally incorrect information about the vehicle warranty and also regarding some of the vehicle features. We did not realize the info we received was bad until we did our own research when we arrived back home. Prior to discovering the bad info we actually put a large deposit on the vehicle. Upon discovering the bad info we were going to call off the purchase but decided to go back to the dealership a few days later to speak to a Sales Manager. We made contact with a Sales Manager by the name of Walter. In short, he was honorable and outstanding! He listened to our issues and corrected the wrong feature info we were given and, more importantly, he agreed to honor the vehicle warranty that the original sales person had told us - as incentive for us to purchase the vehicle. He also assigned us a new Sales Representative by the name of Kia Smith. Kia was absolutely SUPER fantastic! She went over every feature detail, answered all of our related questions, and actually sat in the vehicle with us to demonstrate the features. Walter's high degree of integrity and Kia's truly outgoing personality and depth of knowledge saved the vehicle sale for the dealership. These two individuals are an absolute credit to their employer and we would not hesitate to purchase another vehicle from them in the future. This was our second vehicle purchase from this dealership and there will be more (but hopefully not for a while :))

Extremely unqualified racist,…read more "assistant manager" Named 'Wil' or 'will' who might actually be the toilet cleaner of the place, has no idea how an "assistant manager" should conduct himself and communicate with their customers. Instead of approaching people by introducing himself, he comes to you asking "what is your question" then goes to try and snatch papers from your hand when you try to communicate your frustration of an increased price that you never signed or agreed to. Every dealership I have visited will quote you one price with all fees and taxes included, this dealership does not. They will provide you with a quote without adding or mentioning taxes, and when you arrive they have this 80 year old 'tuff guy' who embarrasses himself trying to intimidate you.

Use MOHAWK HONDA if you are looking to lease or buy a Honda. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AT LIA; you will regret! Just look at the reviews!!! Mohawk Honda WILL GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO PLEASE YOU. Lia will just RIP YOU OFF! HEED MY WARNING! Lia will tell you one thing to get you into the dealership, then figures will change. When you are in the dealership, they have you by the bal*s! You cannot just go test drive a car and get pricing, without the HARD BALL SALES PRESSURE at Lia Honda. You get the "oh yes we will match that, no problem", when they speak with you by phone, but then they turn around and SCREW YOU! I have been buying cars for 40 Years and most car salesman are sketchy. DO YOU RESEARCH FIRST. Know what you can afford. When they ask - WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET YOU INTO THIS CAR TODAY, tell them NOTHING. You need to think about it and then leave - go home! You will be happy you did. Unless its a one in a million car that is impossible to get, there is another one on the lot that will make you just as happy. Saying NO will give you time to process numbers and make a sound decision! The dealers have a bunch of base model Civics and Accords so don't let the salesmen's urgency to SELL YOU A CAR, hamper your decision process. REMEMBER, Car Salesmen are in the market to SELL A CAR. Cars are $25,000 plus and a $400+ per month commitment for 3 - 5 years. Be AFRAID TO BUY FROM LIA HONDA because you are the next person they WILL SCAM.

Efe O the salesman said the color I wanted was super rare and he hadn't seen it before. Meanwhile 3 dealerships in the area had Nordic Forest Green with black interior.

The sales manager then came over and told me he couldn't go any lower and that the offer I had from another dealership was either a lie or I was mistaken on what I was purchasing. He also called my trade in car junk which is an interesting thing to say to a potential customer. I recommend any other Honda dealership in the area before coming to this one!

    I have yet to have a worse experience at a dealership…read more I was presented with loan terms as though I were approved, signed the terms, held the car with $500. I was supposed to be contacted that evening by the financing department. No call. They never contacted me. I had to text twice, leave one voicemail, and call yet again to get a response about my loan request the next day, and my sales associate (Michael Kawola) told me they still did not have a financing offer. That's fine, but they've now had my $500 for two days, after misleading me that financing was secured, and ran my credit for a completely different car I had not even seen or been told about. wtf? The next day-day three- when Michael told me he'd contact me. By the afternoon, I hadn't heard from him, and had to call the dealership to find out it was his day off. Requested to speak to the sales manager, and naturally, again got no answer and had to leave a voicemail. This ordeal started Tuesday, it is now Friday and I JUST received the receipt for my refund. Super scummy practices. TLDR: I was led on with financing, ran my credit for multiple cars without my consent, and kept the deposit for a car they couldn't approve me for, for four days.
