Which Honda dealer is best for Northfield buyers?
Most Northfield shoppers start a Honda search with the sticker price and the star rating, then stop there. Boardwalk Honda, 1.4 miles from Northfield on Tilton Road, gives you more to go on: courteous staff, pricing shown up front, and a service drive its own customers write about.
A Honda dealer worth returning to in Northfield is one whose people you want to deal with again.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Egg Harbor Township. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
Courteous staff is the first thing Boardwalk Honda customers mention
Courteous staff is the topic Boardwalk Honda reviewers raise more than any other, at 144 mentions in Google’s topic counts (Google, 2026). Buyers weigh the car, but they remember the people. That is why we put staff first.
We guide, we do not sell. You get straight answers on price, trade value, and financing, and nobody works you toward a number. Our reviewers write about being treated well before they write about anything else, and a dealer’s staff is the part of the deal you deal with for as long as you own the car.
Boardwalk Honda has 4,565 Google reviews, the most of any area Honda dealer
The rating is 4.7 stars, and 88% of those reviews are five star (Google, 2026). That is a long record of real visits, and it is the record to weigh. Star averages on a few hundred reviews can move with a handful of visits. A store with this many reviews has shown the same experience to a great many people.
No other Honda dealer in the area has as many reviews. The count matters because it covers both sides of the store: buyers who came in to shop and owners who came back for service.
Boardwalk Honda lets you do the online steps first and finish in store
You shop, value a trade, and get pre-approved online, then come in to finish the purchase with those steps already done. Google reviewers raise the car buying experience 64 times (Google, 2026). The point of the online steps is to shorten the day you spend at the dealership.
Here is how a purchase runs with us. You browse new, used, and certified pre-owned Honda inventory online or in the store. You pick a vehicle and see the pricing and terms on that exact unit. Then you sign in store, and you come back later for service. Lac H. wrote this Google review of Boardwalk Honda in August 2026:
“Boardwalk Honda is one of the best dealerships that I’ve ever dealt with…From the date of purchasing my 2nd new car they always provide the best experience. Corey Griffin and Entire team are very professional and efficient. Smooth purchasing process and delivery. Highly recommend this dealership…”
Boardwalk Honda puts price and terms on the specific vehicle before you sign
We show pricing and terms on the vehicle you choose, and we value your trade online before you visit. New Jersey puts no dollar cap on the dealer documentary fee, but the rule requires a dealer to itemize each service and its price in writing (New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, 2022).
That rule gives you a right worth using at any dealer. Ask for the itemized sheet and read every line. Our approach is simple: straight answers on price, trade value, and financing, with no games and no haggling theater. Lynda F. left an August 2026 Google review of Boardwalk Honda that covers the price side:
“As always they took ,y information as soon as I arrived and let me know how long it would take. They were done before they said they would be. All pricing was done upfront with no surprises. Car was returned clean and in perfect working order. Everyone is so nice and cheerful. I will go no where else.”
Boardwalk Honda’s Google reviewers name oil change the second most raised topic, at 92 mentions
Oil change is the second most raised topic in Boardwalk Honda’s Google reviews, at 92 mentions (Google, 2026). Buyers here judge the store on the service drive as much as the showroom. That is fair, because you will visit the service drive far more often than you will visit the sales floor.
Honda service and parts run on site, so the store that sold you the car is the store that maintains it. Oil changes, tire rotation, and online appointment scheduling all run through that same service drive. In a September 2026 Google review of Boardwalk Honda, Matthew C. wrote:
“Great service all around…my service rep (Matt Bruschi) was excellent and the tech got me in and out. Great job!”
Boardwalk Honda runs a shuttle to and from service so a visit fits your day
A service visit should not cost you a day. Boardwalk Honda runs a shuttle to and from service, and you can ask about a ride when you book your appointment online. Online scheduling is part of how we handle service, so the ride gets settled before you arrive.
That matters most for people with a commute and a schedule that will not bend. Dina I. wrote about the ride in an August 2026 Google review of Boardwalk Honda:
“Great place to get you car serviced! Fast and efficient. The shuttle service to and from was also perfect. ! Will always be my go to place.”
Boardwalk Honda stocks new, used, and certified pre-owned Honda in one store
We sell new, used, and certified pre-owned Honda in one store, and a HondaTrue Certified car adds powertrain coverage of 7 years or 100,000 miles, a 182-point inspection, and a $0 deductible on covered repairs (American Honda Motor Co., 2026). If you want a used Honda with the manufacturer standing behind it, the certified lot is where to start.
The full lineup is here: the Civic, Accord, CR-V, HR-V, Pilot, Passport, Odyssey, Ridgeline, and the electric Prologue. One brand under one roof means the people on the floor sell and service Hondas every day. You do not get a scattershot pitch for a dozen nameplates.
What to look out for when choosing a Honda dealership
The complaints buyers make about Honda dealers in this part of New Jersey are specific and repeat. We looked at 50 recent one- and two-star Google reviews of the area’s Honda dealers and sorted each by its main complaint.
Repairs not fixed right the first time. This is the top complaint, at 24% of those 50 reviews. In an August 2021 Google review of Avalon Honda, Jonathan D. wrote:
“Told her that they needed to bring is specialists to work on her HONDA FIT. They “fixed” the recall but broke other things.”
The answer is a service drive that does the job in one visit, on a Honda store’s own site. Matthew C.’s September 2026 review above credits a service rep and a tech.
No updates or call-backs. This one makes up 14% of the same 50 reviews. Samantha N. described it in a September 2025 Google review of Honda of Turnersville:
“The worker I chatted/texted with stated they would relay my message and have someone reach out to me; I even mentioned it is best to reach out via e-mail if possible. It has been 7 days since I contacted the dealership and no one reached out to me.”
Follow-up gaps show up across the industry. J.D. Power found that 53% of new-vehicle buyers who want a dealership follow-up after delivery never receive one (J.D. Power, 2025). We keep you informed at each step, and the August 2026 review from Lynda F. above opens with the store taking down information at arrival.
Financing, paperwork, title and registration problems. These account for 6% of the 50 reviews. Josue L. wrote in a June 2019 Google review of Avalon Honda:
“Terrible customer service & let’s not get into the scam threw finance please check every dollar before u sign they will add things that u don’t need & if u in a rush u won’t see it.”
Checking every dollar before you sign is good advice at any dealer. We show pricing and terms on the specific vehicle and offer online pre-approval, so the numbers are in front of you before you sit down to sign. Lynda F.’s review above reports pricing done upfront.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get pre-approved for a Honda before I visit?

Yes. You can value your trade online, and that value applies toward the purchase. Bring the vehicle when you are ready to finish the deal.
Do I have to finish the purchase online?
No. You do the online steps first and complete the purchase in store, where the pricing and terms are already set on the vehicle you picked.
Does Boardwalk Honda sell used Hondas as well as new ones?
Yes. We sell new, used, and certified pre-owned Honda, all in the same store. Certified cars come with HondaTrue Certified coverage.
Can I book a Honda service appointment online?

Yes. The Prologue is part of our lineup alongside the Civic, Accord, CR-V, HR-V, Pilot, Passport, Odyssey, and Ridgeline. It is sold and serviced here.
Pick the Honda dealer whose people you want to see again
A Northfield buyer who weighs a Honda dealer on how they are treated, what the price sheet shows, and how the service drive runs will end up at Boardwalk Honda. The Honda dealer you’ll want to return to is the one whose people you enjoy dealing with. The sale is one afternoon, and the service drive is the next ten years of the car.
That is a job for a store that treats the buyer as a customer for the life of the vehicle.
How Boardwalk Honda takes you from online pre-approval to your first oil change
A dealer worth choosing is judged on people, price, and service, and Boardwalk Honda runs all three under one roof. You start online with inventory, trade value, and pre-approval. You finish in store, and you come back to the same service drive for the life of the car.
What customers call out most is the staff. Craig D. wrote in a September 2025 Google review of Boardwalk Honda that the service team, James Hall and Alex Mercado, “rushed our 2023 Odyssey Elite into their schedule (same day) within just 2 hours of my call around a sudden electrical system issue while we were on vacation and scheduled to check out of our hotel the next morning.” In a June 2026 Google review of Boardwalk Honda, Brennan M. wrote: “Grade A customer service! Dave Haentze provided the best car buying experience. Give him a raise!”

Boardwalk Honda answers this question against the specific vehicle in front of you rather than the model in general. Value your trade and get pre-approved online, then see us at our Egg Harbor Township showroom, or call 609-428-4400.
