I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Ocean Honda purchasing my new 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid! From start to finish, the entire team was professional, kind, patient, and truly went above and beyond. A huge thank you to Estefani Lopez for being so friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire process. She made everything smooth and stress-free and genuinely cared about helping me find the perfect vehicle. I also want to recognize Dean from Corporate, who worked hard to give me an incredible deal and made me feel valued as a customer. And RJ in Finance was fantastic -- efficient, honest, and very helpful in explaining everything clearly and making the financing process easy and comfortable. This was by far one of the best car-buying experiences I've ever had. I absolutely love my new 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid and highly recommend Ocean Honda to anyone looking for outstanding customer service and a team that truly cares about their customers. Thank you all again! read more

About a year ago, we went in to buy a new (or gently used) Honda. This was going to be our 3rd car that we bought at Ocean. The experience was AWFUL. Price kept changing and then a full court hard sell on add ons (warranties, etc.) Nobody could really explain why we needed all these extra warranties, but they did know that we needed them. We NEVER want to step foot in there again. Not even for the free oil changes. We would rather pay some other place than go back. To this day we wish we would have walked out. We have always loved our Hondas, but nothing is worth this. BTW, I did give this feedback directly to Ocean Honda before making it public. Crickets in response. read more

It continues to amaze me how much these guys try to charge for parts and labor on services. We have purchased 3 cars from this place. I actually really trust the sales staff, but NEVER will I do a repair here that is not covered by our Cardoc or warranty. I've saved hundreds and in some years thousands of dollars taking my Honda to a local, trusted Santa Cruz repair shop instead of the dealership service dept. Just sayin... read more

A Note of Appreciation to Travis Ocean Honda is blessed to have a new captain in charge of general management by the name of Travis. In less than 24 hours, he assisted me with a long-standing problem with constant sales calls to purchase my vehicle and misrepresentation and overcharge on a recent maintenance visit. He listened, provided me with immediate resolutions, and his own concierge service when I come in for future service on my vehicle. I was very impressed with his professionalism, expertise, service acumen, and customer satisfaction attitude. Thank you Travis for making me feel that my patronage is important at Ocean Honda, and that a customer's satisfaction is important and valued. In appreciation, Dr. Mara Fonseca, Ph.D. read more

Have only worked with parts department but their service is great. Would highly recommend!!

Went in for a safety recall service. Dreaded a lengthy service and wasted time. Everything was very time efficient from dropping off the vehicle, the servicing, and pick up. Their complimentary Lyft option was the cherry on top as it allowed me to continue with my day. Flip also helped me get a warranty replacement for the trunk floor cargo spare tire cover. read more

We have had several stellar service experiences with Ocean Honda! Pricilla has gone above and beyond to help my daughter get her Honda in & out quickly during her visits home from college in southern CA! The couple times she ventured to other dealerships it was a nightmare and she was taken advantage of financially. Jonathan was also a wonderful service rep! Drive a little and save a lot of money- we will not be going back to Stevens Creek Honda! read more

I just bought my fourth car in three years from Ocean Honda. I can't tell you how excited I am to have my new car in my driveway. Peter. The general manager will go above and beyond to make sure that you get the best deal and my personal sales associate Flor Gonzal is just the best. So if you're interested in a new or used Honda stop by Ocean Honda in Santa Cruz County read more

We recently bought a car they let us drive off without a secured finance on the car. We did the deal with Calvin who is the finance manager then a few months later after we had the car for three months the sales manager, Chris started threatening us about taking the car and being verbally abusive to my boyfriend who financed the vehicle don't ever buy a car from them they'll give you the runaround and treat you like crap if you don't have perfect credit read more

I purchased my car here in 2020. I got the car doc program. Everything seemed okay until they forgot to screw my engine cover properly after an oil change. They did not take accountability for it. They said the manager would contact me and they never did. Also, they take FOREVER to do oil changes. I will not come here again read more

We had leased 2 Honda Civic Lxs from Ocean about 10 years ago. We changed to a purchase and I liked the sales staff and management. Unfortunately both our cars were totaled a in 2022 & 2023. I leased a '23 Honda HRV Sport and as the lease was ending, I called Ocean to see if I could purchase the car. I spoke to a salesman who at first seemed eager to assist me until he said I would need to pay about $2,000 to "certify the car," plus other costs. I was a bit put off, so I called the GM. He said "that's not how we do business." Hmm. I then got to finance where there were so many hard pulls that my credit report was in tatters. I didn't have the best credit score and I thought they could help me. I then turned the car in to a local Honda dealer. read more

Great experience! I drove down to Ocean Honda from the east bay to check out a truck on their lot, since it was a longer drive I called to assure the truck was still available. Jakob let me know it was and he would have it ready for me when I arrived to test drive and look at. He made the process so casual and easy, I was out and on the road with my new truck in under two hours. Seeing as I drove almost two hours, they offered to uber me back to them after driving my truck home to pick up my car that I had driven there. It made the stress of figuring that out completely vanish. Kevin made the payment process very smooth and I appreciate being able to avoid the DMV, as they handle all the registration and title change themselves. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a car. read more

An update on our review. We now find that ocean honda didnt send the original copy of transfer and reassignment form so now we hear from victory honda group that we have to sign and resubmit this form. First they tell us our names are spelled wrong... now its they lost the original ones. Buyer beware! read more

I wanted to give a huge shout out to Flor, she took great care of me and made the whole process of buying a new Ridgeline smooth and fast!! She was really knowledgable in any question I had on any Honda especially on financing!! I am super happy with my new purchase, THANK YOU Flor!!! read more

Came in on a Monday @ around 5PM and got greeted by Jeff W. Dealt with him on what car we wanted and he showed us, along with taking us on a test drive. Everything went alright, up until striking a deal. We originally got a quote for a 2026 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid from a different Honda dealership and asked them to see if they can beat the price but with a Hybrid Sport-L and Jeff, thought he was Mr. Know It All and automatically assumed that the price we got quoted wasn't the price of the Sport Touring-- he even laughed at us from afar with his colleagues as he went to try and run more numbers. Then he came back to us with, and I quote... "Yeah, we're not interested in making a deal. We're not gonna agree to that number." And as a customer, ready to purchase, that was really off-putting to me. Like, he didn't even try to win our business at all. His approach was terrible and definitely not someone you want to deal with; super unpleasant experience over all. However! If you want to buy a Honda and you're local to the Bay Area, stop by Honda of Stevens Creek and ask for Zuma! Super fun, easy going, and will "go to bat for you" attitude to get you what you want. Tell him Tony sent you! read more

I want to give a shout out to Flor Cruz at Ocean Honda. She was a pleasure to work with to buy my new car. She listened well, was very patient, and did not employ high pressure tactics. I would buy a car from Flor again. I wound up buying a used car with low mileage. Flor followed up to make sure everything was taken care of, even post sale. read more

Chris O. was pleasant enough and got a relatively good deal, his own words. I have sent 2 emails to the branch manager, 2 texts to Chris with no reply. Not the greatest customer service. It has been over a month, and I have yet to receive the basic things that come with the care.... spare key, cart manual and one request that was promised to me. Avoid Chris Oconnell at all costs! read more

I drove more than 2 hours just to purchase a vehicle here and that's really worth it. Thanks to the General Sales Manager Jose Gomez for giving me the best deal and easy transactions no pressure. Thanks to the Salesman Alejandro Palaez for giving me the best information that i need for my vehicle the test drive and communication is amazing. Thanks to Finance Manager Kevin Le. wow very hardworking man helping me to find the best bank and the lowest interest for financing my vehicle and very patient im really surprised for his professionalism. The dealership is very nice and clean its a big dealership a lot of vehicles to choose and free snacks and drinks. read more

I never bought any car at this dealership but I take my 3 Hondas for regular maintenance such as oil change and tire rotation. Service advisors are all great and never pushy. Always very helpful and willing to find the best discount possible. Waiting area is very clean and comfortable. Check their website first before coming for service , they regularly offer deals and coupons. read more

This dealership the GM and most of the staff are incompetent and useless. I purchased a vehicle and it's taken them over 6 months to process my registration correctly. They needed more information and had the audacity to ask me to return to the dealership for their mistake and negligence. I've asked for various updates and nothing. Don't buy here, there's various dealerships with better service and follow through. read more

I purchased a car in 2020 from this dealership. I later traded in that car with another. They called me night and day to buy the Honda back. I kept telling them I sold it, please stop asking for this non existing car. They had no idea, or they just like bothering regular people. I reported this location to the Better Business Bureau, though they already have a horrible rating. I guess the rating goes well with the people that enjoy stalking others even after they've moved across the country and it's literally been 5 years.... Wierdos read more

All I have to say is, bought 4 cars from this dealership throughout the years. Went in looking to get another and my goodness the staff I always came across was no longer there, instead I was met with complete garbage. Stay away, go look at other dealers that will actually respect you. Most of all, stay away from Jeff Winton, very disrespectful incredibly rude and egotistical he is a joke of a person. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Unfortunately, I purchased a 2022 Honda HRV that had transmission or electrical issues immediately after purchase. Within a three week period I had two scary incidents on the freeway where the vehicle would not go past 40 mph. Unfortunately, the dealership was less than helpful not willing to buy the vehicle back from me, but willing to sell me a new vehicle but trading my old one in for less than I paid. So in essence they wanted to sell me two vehicles. I'm now pursuing this is a lemon law issue, and no longer see this as my tried and true Honda dealership. I'm so disappointed in them and the way they treat their customers who have issues with vehicles they sold them. Beware of buying a vehicle from them. They will not stand by the vehicles they sell. read more

This Honda dealership is small, but you get the small town vibe. they did a great job on my requested service, and made sure all recalls and any necessary preventative maintenance was taken care of. Will for sure be returning. I did have Lincoln, big time nervous energy guy, but was informative. he did try to solicit and persuade my review scores, which of course is bias and takes the integrity out of the review process, but overall VERY helpful guy. read more

I've already emailed Peter, along with others at Ocean Honda, and haven't received a single response. I've also filed complaints with the California DMV, the Attorney General's office, and other consumer protection platforms. It's unacceptable to be ignored after being misled and overcharged. Directing customers to someone who doesn't reply only reinforces the lack of accountability at this dealership. read more

I ran into an unexpected financial issue and asked management if they could split $700 in two..I already gave them $800 cash. They denied my request. I am a single mom on one income and this wasn't expected. They refused. I highly doubt that Honda will go broke if they approve my request. This was my second vehicle I bought there. This is the last time i am buying a vehicle or recommending them to anyone. I am so disappointed in them. I thought highly of them read more

If I could leave ZERO stars I would. I'm never going back to Ocean Honda for Service... Recently I was driving to work and noticed my car shaking/vibrating when I would accelerate. It had done it in the past but would go away. Finally it did it again a couple weeks ago, got so bad I thought my car was gonna break down. Finally the check engine light came on. I decided to take it to Bobby's Pit Stop for a diagnostic. They called me and said it was either a blown head gasket or cylinder head failure and to take it to Ocean Honda. The car only had 69,000 miles so a blown head gasket was insane! I took it to Ocean Honda the next day and told them to specifically run a test to see if it is truly a blown head gasket or cylinder head failure. They ran a diagnostic and called me back saying something was wrong with the spark plugs and oxygen sensor. They told me I also needed oil change, new battery, carbon filter, and all the fluids possible. I responded "so there is nothing wrong with the head gasket or cylinder head?" They said no. I asked if they ran a test to see and they said no. I asked if they could run a test to make sure it isn't a blown head gasket and they said I needed to pay an extra $250. I was pissed. My bf decided to talk to the GM and let him know the issue. We were not going to pay $500 for a diagnostic when they should have checked for head gasket in the first place. They said we could check for a blown head gasket and replace it if need be for free if you have warranty. Our warranty was over! I'm unable to pay 8K for repair! I figured Honda should not be charging an extra $250 to run tests that they should have done in the first diagnostic. I was so stressed cause I figured might as well sell my car and get it out of my hands. I sat down with a sales rep and he was gonna offer me 10K Cash for my car. My car is 2019 with only 69,000 miles and my dad paid 40K for it! 10K seemed so cheap. I figured they actually knew it had a blown head gasket but didn't want to admit. I said no to the 10K They then offered me 20K for a trade in or 15K cash final. I called my dad and he said "walk away, we'll figure this out. Don't worry" I decided to get my dad and his friend involved. They know people at the Salinas Honda. They told me to only pay Ocean Honda $250 for the first diagnostic and to not pay for any other repairs. Then get my car towed to Salinas Honda for another diagnostic to really check if it was a blown head gasket. Long story short, Salinas Honda ran tests. They CONFIRMED it was a blown head gasket and at 69,000 miles was insane. The GM of Salinas Honda made a GoodWill Claim with Honda and they have decided to fix my car for free! I will NEVER be going back to Ocean Honda! There was overwhelming evidence that my car had a blown head gasket. I told them that! Yet, they did not even make a note I had told them about the issue when reading the receipt. $250 is already a lot for a basic diagnostic, I'd expect them to check EVERYTHING the first time. Come to find out there is a civil lawsuits against Honda for engine issues. Maybe people at Ocean Honda knew about this and tried to push it aside? Who knows?! I'll be getting my car back from Salinas Honda soon. read more

We were having a small problem with our car and stopped by Honda to get it addressed. Flip helped us and got our car fixed and back in on the road quickly. Felt very taken care of as a repeat customer. read more

I know in the past people have had some negative experiences including me. But I understand that they're under new management now. And it shows! I got a newer car from another dealership that's related to Ocean Honda. When I got home I noticed a light was not working. I contacted that dealership numerous times over a weeks time and no return calls or any texts etc. I spoke to an Ocean Honda sales associate, James and he immediately took care of it. The part was ordered and he got an appointment for me. Impressive! They were pretty busy so they got me a Lyft to and from the dealership. Dustin, in the service department, was friendly and extremely helpful. My next auto purchase as well as repair and maintenance will DEFINITELY be at Ocean Honda because of James and Dustin. Excellent customer service! Thank you!! read more

We will never buy from you again, much less from Javier Muro. He is a person who scammed us, deceived us, and never responded to us. I have everything to prove it, both on paper and on video. He sold us a SUV and deceived us on the price, according to him, because the SUV had had cosmetic work done, and that is a lie. He handed over the SUV with scratches and damaged paint. To date, he has not given us the other key to the SUV, and in the end he tried to steal 6 thousand dollars from us, and we do not allow that. It is not possible for you to hire people with that gentleman Javier Muro, who scams and deceives people who trust you as a dealer. read more

I had a good experience with the sales Derek Verduzco. No pushing at all. Unfortunately the financial manager Kelvin Le is the worst finance guy i have even met. I bought the vehicle CRV with a maintenance package on 10/19/25 and was told I could cancel at any time and have refund. Just one day after vehicle purchase, I called Kelvin to cancel the package because I thought it's not worth it. He emailed me a cancellation form and I sent it back with my signature. Since then I couldn't reach him any more. After tons of emails and calls (I even cc his boss), eventually he told me the refund would be shown on my 2nd statement. So I waited and waited until 2nd statement, the refund wasn't there yet. No matter how I contacted Kelvin, no response at all. Until today the refund is still nowhere even it has been almost 2 months since the cancellation. read more

Update on previous review I met with the manager he accused me of lying about my signature I told him I im getting a attorney refused anymore contact with myself he also stated on the phone that I didn't take a loan out for my car and then admitted that he was wrong getting calls from auto loan people that I'm two mos past due I returned the car within 5 days they are very sorry I stepped into the Santa Cruz Honda dealership just don't go there read more

Ocean Honda service is trash. I had an appointment yesterday and when I got there they said they were closing in a half hour and wouldn't take my car. (Takes me an hour to get there) The technician said to come in the next day and they will do it, I asked about an apt and he said not needed. I call today and she's saying I have to get there before 1 and it wouldn't be done until they close at 4. Absolutely ridiculous to schedule a service at a time that they won't do that service. read more

Went in to get my maintenance and I received a notice of a recall for my vehicle; all of it got done in a matter of time, literally within the same day. This place is very quick with handing my cars needs. I also needed a loaner to get to work and they were able to provide, I've been coming here for over 8 years, and I am pleased to say you got a loyal customer for life. Thank you again Eric Mendoza for always getting me right, if you ever need any maintenance done please don't hesitate to call and ask for ERIC, he will get it done ASAP. That's my go to, has been for the last 8 years! Thanks again for everything Ocean Honda Team! read more

Ocean Honda - Car Dealers Near Me - Soquel, California

Associates seemed enthusiastic and very willing to really sell the products. However, here's where I get uncomfortable. 1. Used car sales management, you ignored when my significant other said "the car doesn't need to be on to check the mileage" turned on our car ANYWAYS, then you REV our car *multiple times* without being given permission to do so -- in fact it was so sudden that neither my s.o. or I knew what he was trying to do until he just up and decided to do that before we could say anything. The salesman who brought this used car salesman over? Oh, he just laughed and supported his associate's reckless disrespectful behavior to property that isn't theirs. There's more about this I'll talk more about later. 2. The same salesman who laughed at his coworker's behavior, decided that showing a customer's Type R (in for service) was a good idea. That car is not a joke, a customer's car is not a joke, and you don't mess with people's property. So tell me why this poor beautiful Type R was treated like a joke. The Type R was shown without the owner's consent, knowledge, and without the owner being there. Even if the dealership knew by camera footage, no staff came out to say anything or tell him otherwise. It's nice that you're dedicated as a salesman but this is beyond disrespectful. He showed the very personal interior of this customer's Type R, and then offered to allow basically random people to sit in this customer's car. If it was my car, even just the idea of someone else letting a random person LOOK THROUGH or SIT in my car especially without consent, knowledge, or anything is just wrong. I wouldn't trust this dealership for servicing. Even just thinking about the Type R seats, if you get anything on that red or ruin the seats at all, you're done. You mess with someone else's property, you're also done, shame on you. 3. To the same salesman and to the manager, if we didn't come in intending to buy some other car you're trying to sell us, and this is a car that doesn't exist - all this talk is nothing but *talk* and it's going to take a while especially when you glorify it and want to oversell on random features we said we don't want, need, or care about. But please at the bare minimum ask if the customer has a place to be especially if it's dinner time to be respectful of other people's time and physical needs... Also when the customer says they need dinner, as this occurred at the time dinner would usually be at, that might be a good signal to let people do what they need to do. Not keep overselling on things we don't want, need, or care about. The manager seemed scared of me and seemed rather manipulative. I can see through your sneaky behavior... the salesman we talked to mentioned, you, the manager selling someone a Type R for $100K to a customer who didn't come in intending to buy one and knew nothing about them... that's ridiculous and actually quite scammy... for a $45.8K car... and you bet the salesman was excited to remember that... Also for some weird reason the associates kept our vehicle's key through this entire time and we had to keep asking where it was and why they needed it. Your clients aren't dumb, so don't treat us like it. We see right through you. Do better. read more

I just purchased my third vehicle from this dealership and as always it was a pleasure doing business with them. Particularly Chris O'Connell for making the whole car buying experience relaxed and very enjoyable and just being a very chill guy to spend a couple hours with making a deal. And also Dylan Shay the sales manager, for getting us a fair price and stream lining the whole process. If you're looking for a vehicle I highly recommend them. They have a great selection and they're all super friendly. read more

Horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE sales team. Omg. Aidan was cursing at me trying to explain how an objectively predatory loan was a better option than being *smart* about buying a car. He spoke SO fast, so aggressively (almost shouting at me), and changed subjects numerous times -- all while telling me that I should be comfortable paying over $700 a month, and that "nothing is truly out of [my] budget." No, I have a budget and a set of expectations. I really want to reiterate that this dude's explanation of auto loans was so absolutely wrong and was designed for you to not think actually about the math behind it. He told me that his personal experience with financing was that the interest he would "earn" on his auto loan would pay his monthly payment. That's backwards -- you only earn interest if you lend money to an entity like the U.S. government or a bank. You do not earn positive interest on auto loans when YOU are the one who borrowed the money. He clearly mistook my auditory processing disorder as stupidity, and I don't think he knew that I am not dumb. The intimidation and aggression at Ocean Honda made me feel uncomfortable even being in the lot. And if I had gone with his math, I would be paying over $50,000 for a $25,000 Honda Accord. When I walked away, he thought I was already gone; and shouted "gross!" Never will I ever consider this dealership an option, and neither should you. At least make sure you have the decency to check if I'm gone before you call me "gross." read more
