Why do some reviewers give Boardwalk Honda one or two stars?

Low ratings at a dealership tend to follow the moments that take time or involve numbers: paperwork, the final price against the advertised one, and service updates. Boardwalk Honda holds a 4.7-star Google rating, and its online trade-in offer, finance application, test-drive reservation and service scheduling move those steps out of the showroom.

Those steps are the ones worth starting from home, before you sit down with a number in front of you.

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.

Low Boardwalk Honda ratings follow waits, price gaps and service updates

Most of our Google reviews are five-star, 88 in 100 (Google, 2026). The moments that draw a low rating are the ones that take time or involve numbers, so those are the steps we make easier to start online.

A secure finance application can be filled out online. Test drives can be reserved online or by phone, so the first visit can already have a time set.

How can you shorten a Honda purchase at Boardwalk Honda?

Start the two steps that take the most of your attention before you arrive: the finance application and the test drive. Both can be done online, and a test drive can also be reserved by phone.

Why can the final price at Boardwalk Honda differ from the advertised price?

New Jersey sets the taxable price of a car by rule, so the advertised figure and the final figure can differ. A dealer must build documentary service fees, destination charges, delivery preparation, extended warranty contracts, accessories and any manufacturer’s rebate or cash into the taxable price, while a trade-in credit and the state’s actual title and registration costs are left out (New Jersey Division of Taxation, 2026).

The documentary service fee is the dealer’s charge, not the state’s. New Jersey does not require it, but the Division of Taxation treats it as taxable because it is part of the sales price (New Jersey Division of Taxation, 2017). Sales tax on a motor vehicle is 6.625% of the purchase price, and it applies to a New Jersey resident or a business buyer with a place of business in the state (New Jersey Division of Taxation, 2026).

Registration is set by the state too. A passenger car under 3,500 pounds costs $46.50 to register if it is older than two years, and $59.00 if it is within two years of its model year (New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, 2026).

Lease deals are available on the HR-V, Odyssey, Passport and Pilot. Ask for the full out-the-door figure, with each fee and tax line written out, before you sign.

How does the Boardwalk Honda online trade-in offer work?

An online trade tool gives an offer from a license plate and state, a VIN, or a year, make, model and trim. The trade-in value is valid for seven days or up to 250 miles, and a make-and-model lookup gives only a general estimate, which may change.

How do you get service updates and a loaner at Boardwalk Honda?

Ask for a loaner as part of Certified Honda service. A shuttle service and loaners are available if needed.
