I went in to Riverside Honda on Labor Day looking to buy a 2026 Honda Civic Hybrid Sport. When I called to check what vehicles they still had on the lot I was transferred to Anthony and he was able to quickly check and confirm they had exactly what I was looking for. I told him I would be there shortly, and when I arrived he was there at the front ready to help me. He took me on a test drive and I fell in love with the car. I knew what I wanted and exactly the numbers I was looking for. Anthony was awesome, able to work through everything, and able to help me get what I was looking for. He had great customer service and I would most definitely recommend anyone looking to purchase a new Honda to visit Anthony at Riverside Honda. Thank you Anthony for your great service and help! read more

Scott Brady has saved Honda's reputation! Mr. Brady has been nothing short of amazing...dynamic personality, thorough, pleasant, respectful, knowledgeable and above all - professional! My 2024 Prologue is the first Honda I have owned and I have not been happy at all. Spreen Honda totally corrupted my opinion of dealerships and multiple issues with this vehicle has severely tarnished Honda's image. This vehicle, unbeknownst to me at the time, was really a GMC vehicle that Honda placed their name on. There are two open recalls on the truck. My vehicle has been in and out of the Spreen dealership more than 10 times in less than a year - axle clicking, front bumper coming off, display console blackouts, rear camera blackout, vehicle not updating, HondaLink app not connecting to the car, etc. Spreen service counselors are the worst liars ever. Service have told me that parts were not available for any of the recall and the issues with the axle could not be addressed until Honda authorized the replacement. Spreen needs to be investigated by the State of California!! After the poor service at Spreen multiple times, I decided to make an appointment with Riverside Honda. Mr. Brady was my assigned service counselor. Mr. Brady assured me that my vehicle would get a thorough inspection and all issues found will be addressed. As it turned out my concerns of safety were confirmed when the technician discovered that BOTH axles (left & right) were bad, clicking when making turns at low speed, and needed to be replaced. The vehicle is NOT two years old yet and there warranty repairs needed...?!?!? Mr. Brady ordered the axle parts and had them installed under the warranty. He also got the display recall repaired. Mr. Brady kept in contact with me the entire day whenever my vehicle was left in his care. Again, Mr. Brady has saved the face of Honda. However, I certainly believe I got a LEMON from Spreen Honda. If anyone has had the same issues and found a Lemon attorney to handle, please let me know. read more

This is the third time I've tried to leave a review about my experience here, and previous ones have not remained posted. That alone should raise concerns. My experience with this dealership was extremely frustrating. I did not feel that my concerns were taken seriously, and despite being contacted after my initial review, no meaningful effort was made to resolve the situation. At one point, I was warned about potential "defamation" for sharing my experience. That response felt inappropriate and discouraging, especially when I was simply trying to communicate what happened from my perspective. I was also repeatedly contacted by a salesperson even after I made it clear I was not interested, which added to the negative experience. If you are shopping for a car, I strongly recommend taking your time, comparing offers, and considering financing through a credit union or outside lender so you have more control in the process. Overall, I would not return here based on how my situation was handled. read more

This Honda dealership is a pretty good deal for routine maintenance. I've checked around at other places, like jiffy lube, and I don't think I want to go back there. I like coming here in part because when I sell the car, I will have a long history of timely service at the dealership. Hopefully that will increase the car's resale value. read more

My car was low on coolant and it was suggested to only use Honda Genuine Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2. I placed an inquiry online and they called me the following day to see if I still needed assistance. Fortunately, it was in stock, so I grabbed a gallon for $23 with tax. The price was roughly the same as other brands and made me happy with the purchase. Also, the service from the Parts department was great. read more

Just bought a new car that took allllll day to get through the paperwork. Came in at 9AM left at 5PM. Last three hours they had to find the car the sold me. Change vin numbers and the sales person that promised me the world didn't come in to work the day I had to come in after they found a car and a ven number to re do the paper work again. But the car wasn't all put together so I'm here all day for them to come and tell me after getting here at 7:30 for a 8am appointment that they can't finish it and I'll have to come back. And they still have my car at 11:57. read more

Riverside Honda - Worst experience ever - Car Dealers Near Me - Riverside, California

I've been without a car for over a week. With no end in sight. All I keep being told are parts are on back order & that's it. The issue with my car is not because I don't maintain it, it's an issue Honda is aware of but this dealer has not helped in anyway. No loaner car, & when they offered me a "deal" for a rental, I was going to be paying more for an older car than if I had gone to Hertz (& smaller car). read more

I had an amazing experience with Alexis in service. I had called to make an adjustment to a previous appointment I had scheduled, only to find out my original appointment had not been completed in scheduling. Alexis was able to help me complete the process and was so kind during the process. Exceptional customer service on her part. read more

To be honest, finding a 2026 Honda Civic Type R in red has been extremely difficult, especially with so many dealerships adding ridiculous markups because of the demand for this car. I visited a couple of dealerships, but they wouldn't even entertain my offer. Then I received a text from Riverside Honda letting me know that a Type R had arrived after being shipped in early. I was actually coming from a dental appointment and wasn't even planning on looking at the car because I expected another dealership with an unreasonable markup. But I decided to stop by anyway. As soon as I walked in, salesman John Lopez held the door open for me and asked if I needed any help. I told him I was ready to buy and presented my offer. I knew I probably wasn't going to get the car at sticker price, but John took my offer to his manager and worked with me to get everything approved. Once we agreed on the numbers and payments, the rest of the process was incredibly smooth. John went above and beyond--he took the car to get washed, filled up the tank, and even offered to drive my car home since I had come to the dealership alone. I honestly didn't expect this level of service from a Honda dealership. John was spectacular, and the entire staff and management team were professional, helpful, and genuinely made me feel like they wanted to earn my business. I will definitely recommend Riverside Honda to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. I came in expecting the typical dealership experience, but instead I found what I didn't think existed anymore--a "Helpful Honda Guy." John Lopez and the entire Riverside Honda team get an A++ from me! And as for the car itself, the 2026 Honda Civic Type R is hands down the best car I've ever owned. Absolutely worth the wait! read more

I went to Riverside Honda to buy two new cars, I went through 3 salesmen in about 15 minutes. The first two lied, struggled to answer questions, attempted to force unwanted dealership packages costing $2,440, and when I refused, they threatened to remove my dealership discount and more than doubled my financing APR to 8.9% when I qualified for Honda's promotional 3.99% APR. They also refused to provide all the expenses in an itemized list so I knew what I was paying for and tried to use some ambiguous single number. I had a horrible experience at this dealership. Unprofessional, deceptive, and tried all the old standard shady salesman tactics that in 2026 should be replaced with transparency and professional service. I went to another local Honda dealership and had an incredible experience...complete opposite and the result is I purchased two new cars from the second dealership. read more

Like most dealerships, they want to sell you a car. So there's always that salesmanship that's going on. But overall, I was very pleased with my experience. I love my car. It's a Honda CRV. And when my lease is up, I plan to go back and get another every time I go in for service to my car. The service people are fantastic. I really appreciate them a lot. I wish I could remember the name of the guy that we always see. He's really fantastic. I really appreciate it. I'll come back and add his name. read more

Jorge Marquez gave the best customer service. He was knowledgeable, personable and kind. Here is his business card. However the only negative about the experience was his manager, he was very rude. We went in wanting information on a leasing options but he said no unless they run our credit. It was our second stop. Please go in and ask for Jorge!! read more

Riverside Honda - Jorge Marquez business card - Car Dealers Near Me - Riverside, California

This was my first time visiting this Honda dealership, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. I arrived around 4:00 PM after confirming on Google Maps that they close at 7:00 PM. Despite arriving well within business hours, I was told that they could not assist me and that I should come back the next day. There was no clear explanation, no effort to help, and the overall attitude from the staff was unwelcoming and unprofessional. As a new customer, I expected at least basic courtesy and respect, but instead, I felt dismissed. This is not the level of service I would expect from a reputable dealership. Very poor customer service. I would not recommend this location based on my experience. read more

Anthony McCray Saleman is your guy for your next auto purchase. He listens to your needs and will help you leave confident that you got a fair deal. The help is he listens, therefore there is NO back and forth or pressure to buy add-ons. He offered and I replied, and the deal closed within an hour only because "the closer" stepped in and the finance dept had to do their thing. It was a positive experience overall. I am a satified owner of a HRV! read more

This is now the second time Riverside Honda has lost my business for the exact same reason -- a refusal to adapt to the customer's needs and a corporate-first approach that completely disregards the customer experience. I was genuinely interested in purchasing a Civic Type R and reached out to the dealership, initially speaking with Adeline, who was polite and responsive at first. However, once I was transferred to her manager, Amayrani, the communication and flexibility disappeared. I clearly explained that I work 12-hour night shifts during the week and cannot take time off unless we're finalizing a deal. Because of that, I asked to negotiate via text or email -- a completely reasonable request that many other dealerships (Infiniti, Audi, Ford, etc.) have no issue accommodating. Instead, I was told that "all pricing is done in person," as if my time and circumstances didn't matter. This is 2025 -- customers negotiate and purchase vehicles online every single day. Most dealerships have recognized that convenience, flexibility, and communication are what build long-term relationships. Unfortunately, Riverside Honda seems to prioritize outdated sales tactics and rigid "in-person only" policies that benefit the dealership more than the buyer. What's worse is that this isn't an isolated experience. The same thing happened to me last time I inquired about a Type R, and because of their unwillingness to work with me, I ended up purchasing a Ford F-250 instead. You would think that after losing a serious buyer once before, management would make some effort to earn that business back -- but sadly, it's clear that Riverside Honda has not learned from their mistakes. I'm not some window shopper wasting time. I'm a hardworking, serious buyer with a clear budget and interest, ready to move forward once terms are finalized. Instead of seeing that as an opportunity, they've chosen to make the process difficult and unaccommodating. If this dealership wants to compete in today's market, they need to understand that customer convenience and respect are worth more than following an outdated corporate playbook. Until they start putting the customer experience first, I'll gladly continue buying elsewhere -- from dealerships that actually value my time and business. read more

I had an exceptional experience with the Honda service department, especially my service advisor, Scott Brady. My 2018 Accord suddenly lost power, and an independent shop told me I needed both a turbocharger and catalytic converter, with an estimate of over $5,500. Scott and the service team took the time to properly diagnose the problem, found that the catalytic converter was covered under warranty, and determined the turbo issue was caused by the restricted converter. After replacing the catalytic converter, the problem was resolved without needing a turbo replacement. Scott kept me informed throughout the entire process, was honest, professional, and truly looked out for my best interests. It's refreshing to work with someone who values doing the job right. Thank you, Scott, for turning a stressful situation into a great customer experience! read more

Nothing but good things to say about this dealership! My fiancé and I came in knowing what we wanted and had been to a prior dealership that we walked out of and ended up here. We were helped by the sales and leasing consultant Anthony McCroy and honestly was the best experience! He listened to what I wanted and guided us in the whole process without being pushy but also helping us get the best deal for my price range. Thank you, Anthony because of you we will be back when we decide to get our next car. We also wanted to thank the finance manager Paulina and the sales manager Sheng Kao for helping in making the process seamless. read more

Very bad experience today. I live in Irvine and drove a long distance to visit this place after they told me a certain price. When I arrived, they suddenly increased the price by $5,400. I felt like I was misled about the price just to get me to come in. This is very unprofessional and a waste of my time after driving all that way. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Purchased a brand new 2026 Honda Civic with 5 miles with the help of Jorge and Ramiro. Thank you for your help in my new purchase!

Came here for an oil change. Left with a heartfelt conversation. Paul Hamilton helped me with my payment and he was the nicest person ever. I recently lost my mother and he did nothing but bring me kindness through this time. I hope nothing but amazing things for him and his family. read more

Follow up from my previous yelp- Richard responded on March 13 to the issues we had when purchasing our car. We emailed him directly on the same day as we were directed to do and have not heard back from him at all. Very disappointed with lack of response and shows us that this is how they deal with customers overall that are disappointed and that there isn't follow through. read more

We bought a new car from Lucio and he was polite, professional and answered every question we had. The sale was the easiest part. It was a pleasure to do business with you. Also Paulina in finance was also very easy to work with. She was also very good at her job and you could tell she took pride in her work. Now if we could get the garage door opener to communicate with the new car we would be all set. Back to reading the manual... read more

Service Department only: Have yet to have a good experience with service department. With or without an appointment. I scheduled a required recall which is only done on weekdays and was told it would be "quick." I'm guessing because they want to make money on the weekend services, and they don't make money on recalls. (I could be wrong.) Get here and I'm told it will be 3 hours. I'm out of their "drop off zone" so they can't help with that. If they had been honest about the time it would take, I would have made other arrangements. This recall is required to register my car, so I don't have the option of putting it off. Other time I came for an oil change and they were incredibly rude when I tried to ask questions about other work. They told me I only booked an oil change, and wouldn't even tell me who I could speak to about questions regarding scheduling extra services for another time. I would choose a different dealership for any services. read more

Every. Single. Thing. From purchase through services for five years so far. I cannot compliment this business enough. Special kudos to Wendy in the service department. Thank you all! read more

Had another great experience at riverside Honda! Lucio and Paulina were so incredibly helpful !

I had a pre-approval with Capital One and figured I would give it a shot. The second I stepped foot there I was received with the best customer service one could possibly ask for. Shoutout to Anthony who helped me with this purchase and made it a breeze. He had the right energy and attitude that boosted my confidence in my purchase. I would definitely recommend Riverside Honda for your future car purchase. The love and care everyone gave here definitely earned them a customer for life. read more

Wow!! This was the best dealer experience I've ever had!! I was looking for a Type R for a very long time and Sales Manager Derek Buono beat every quote I got from all of CA, AZ, NV, TX, SC, and many more states!

Thanks for welcoming me to the Honda Family. I will for sure be bringing all my friends and family here. read more

This review is solely on my experience with the service department. I cannot comment on the rest of the departments. I called in and made an appointment for the next available day, which was the following week (Wednesday, 7:40am) regarding a recall on a possible sticky steering wheel for my used 2024 Honda Civic Type R (with 3,300 miles). I also had a concern of a leaking overflow tank which seems to be a common occurrence with the Type R. I went in for my scheduled appointment and was given an ETA check of about 3 hours and was given a call within 2 hours with an update that my overflow tank was confirmed leaking and the part needed to be ordered. Turnaround ETA was 1-2 days with expected pick up date Friday or the following week. I left the dealership after turning in my car and went to work this same day, so I mentioned I would allow their team to keep my car and do their thing. In regards to the "sticky steering wheel" I did not have any noticeable issues with my steering wheel but I wanted to get it checked anyways since I was primarily going in for the overflow tank leak. Paul, the assistant service manager, helped me with my service needs. Paul is a good guy, he works efficiently and gave me excellent details about my cars situation along with letting me know that everything was covered by the recall notice along with Honda's warranty. Away from the dealership Paul mentioned he had an injury preventing him from being 100%, so to be working injured on a keyboard all day; I applaud you sir! Play by play timing. I dropped off my car at 7:40 AM on a Wednesday, left the dealership to go to work after the ETA was 3 hours to diagnose and review, received an update about the parts and leaking overflow tank issue covered by warranty, ETA of new parts arrival 1-2 business days, left the car overnight, and got a call the next day Thursday at 10ish AM that my car was ready for pick up. Overall my experience was pleasant and the turnaround time was faster than expected! Thank you Honda of Riverside! If I need anymore service needs, I will be coming back! read more

The agreement with the salesman was not reflexed in the sales contract. I was assuming that after we tried the car out that the information on the HONDA window sticker and the other window sticker adhered by the DEALERSHIP, Dealer installed options was the premise for our starting negotiations. It appears all the negotiations and the salesman running back and forth with some guy behind the curtain and finally we agree on the price some Dealer installed options can disappear. Unfortunately, Riverside Honda believes you have no contract until you sign the sales agreement. I beg to differ; the contact is with the salesman's handshake. Everything on those stickers is included unless otherwise stated. Show less read more
