I have been dealing with Sterling since 2003. This is the only dealership I have felt safe with. There has only been two times I wasn't happy with the service and they were both corrected in minutes. On the only dealership I have felt safe with. There has only been two times I wasn't happy with the service and they were both corrected in minutes. One by Steve Emiglio and one by Eric Bruni. I do not work well with 2 people on the service desk (read here I don't like them) so I have picked one person to deal with. Eric Bruni is awesome. I have gone so far as to only book appointments through Eric so I know he will be there when it's time for my appt. I will always deal with Sterling Honda as long as Steve Emiglio and Eric Bruni are there. As a woman and an older woman at that it is important for me to know that I will never be lied to or cheated where my car is concerned. More

I was was not welcomed by the first two people at the front , however they directed me to the service section where I was met by Tim. ( shuttle driver) wow did he ever turn my experience around. 5 stars!! He was so friendly so kind so funny and knowledgeable. He took care of my issue and also noticed I was low on washer fluid and filled that up. He took care of me right away as well. What an asset to your team. More

Denial of damage due to service Brought my 2017 Civic in for regular maintenance, as well as to ask for a payout summary so i could pay off my finance and upgrade in the near future Brought my 2017 Civic in for regular maintenance, as well as to ask for a payout summary so i could pay off my finance and upgrade in the near future When I return to pick up my car, there is white marks from some sort of liquid/chemical on the front bumper. I immediately point it out to the employee running the carwash and he claimed that it hasnt been washed yet as I had agreed to a complimentary wash. I didnt think anything of it at the time so we run it through the wash and I return straight home. When i go to check again upon getting out of the car, the white marks were still there. I immediately called service told them what happened and they told me to return so they can look at it. After multiple employees and the service manager tried wiping it off, they proceeded to lie to me and claim that there is no chemical they use that can damage my car.. When everyone knows how many chemicals there are in an automotive shop that can damage paint and plastic. Basically even after ensuring them that I have witnesses who saw my car before i brought it to them, they continued to deny and lie and refused to take responsibility for damaging my front bumper and then tried directing me to the nearest CarStar... The head manager was not there, and it was close to closing time so my plan was to return to speak to the manager so we could check the security cameras which would have clearly shown that there were no white marks on my bumper prior to the service. Luckily for them I've chosen to save myself the headache and stress of going back and dealing with the incompetence of this dealership. I will pay off my finance and take my future business elsewhere I would not recommend Sterling Honda to anyone and I worry for the people who bring their cars and investments to them because I truly feel like they do not value their customers at all More

Horrible Customer Service Do not go there!!!!! My daughter bought a vehicle from this location a year ago, shortly after the wind shield cracked and it was replaced by warranty. It has now happened My daughter bought a vehicle from this location a year ago, shortly after the wind shield cracked and it was replaced by warranty. It has now happened again, there have been several calls to the manager with NO return calls .

Please shop around! Purchased a new CRV from Sterling in Jan 2019. Within one month the windshield cracked and had multiple people try and figure out how it cracked, they couldn't so it was replaced. Not ev Jan 2019. Within one month the windshield cracked and had multiple people try and figure out how it cracked, they couldn't so it was replaced. Not even 10 months later and its cracked again. Same situation one service rep says stress and another says impact. No reason to why glass is cracking every few months. Several messages left with service manager Steve with no return call. Extremely concerning as I have a toddler and feel unsafe using a car with such weak glass. I wish Sterling was concerned about my family safety and contact me back. So please beware and shop around to a dealership that actually cares. More
two weeks to get oil change Have used this dealership for 7 years. Now my oil light has come on and I called for appointment and was told next available visit is Nov 9/19 for a Have used this dealership for 7 years. Now my oil light has come on and I called for appointment and was told next available visit is Nov 9/19 for a plain oil change. Its amazing that Florida dealers can get you in and out same day half hour!!! Also yearly rustproofing checks were not performed during service visits, voiding any warranty coverage as with other reviewers. More

They offere This dealership doesn't keep its words. They cannot be trusted, at all. I dropped off my CRV for recall services on September 30th, 2019. They offered free car wash as usual and I agreed. However, they didn't wash my car at all. How can I trust them that they really did what they said on the paper? Was my car really served for the recalls? Also, I purchased the rust-proof for my CRV when I purchased the vehicle at this dealership in 2011. No one reminded me that I had to come back for checking every 6 months to keep the warranty effective - although I had oil changes done regularly at the same dealership. When I noticed rusty spots on the door and went in to ask, I was told that I had lost the warranty because I didn't have the "regular" rust checkup. Thank you, Sterling Honda, by not giving me any heads up or reminders and letting my warranty goes "puff". More
Never, never visit here! On 9/5/2019, I dropped off my car to have tires changed before 10:30am, my appointment time. But later i found out that they started work on the car a On 9/5/2019, I dropped off my car to have tires changed before 10:30am, my appointment time. But later i found out that they started work on the car at around 12:10pm. The front desk advisor never mentioned about this... Waste of my precious time... and their terrible bureaucracy regarding my complaint... I love Japanese cars their professionalism but not this dealership.. More
