After 8 years of being a customer here we have finally made the switch. Unfortunately this place has yet to accommodate buyers in any way. Yes the buying process is what every car dealer buying process is but they have no grace for loyal customers. The service manager is rude unprofessional and not accommodating at all. With the last 3 brand new vehicles purchased here they all had issues both mechanically and interior within Honda warranty time frame but because of the fine print still would not fix any issues within vehicles, constantly blamed the driver for everything that happened to vehicles. For example CarPlay wasn’t working from moment it left lot to 5 months of ownership it was my phone fault not the car system. Your first free oil change is a scam. Sellers that work here lie to you about car fax on used vehicles so make sure you double check if you ever look at used vehicle at this establishment. Unfortunately this place in last 8 years has turned into all about the $$ and no customer service skills. We will no longer return here.

We have purchased a few vehicles from Ken Burns at Rahal Honda and have always had excellent customer service and care. Ken you’re the greatest!!! We’ll be back for sure

Have you ever had to drive home in an ice storm while only being able to use the defrost feature to see? We did! Why? We took our car here for service prior to an ice storm, the technician failed to 1. Hook the hose back up to the wiper fluid and 2. Forgot to replace the fasteners on each end of the plastic trim below the wipers. What does this mean? This means that there is no windshield washer fluid and also your wipers will flop around (could not use at all)while again during an ice storm on Interstate 80 to Snow Shoe. Also to be mentioned, this appt was to correct another previous issue ( oil leaking after an oil change). The customer service team is always friendly and helpful, the techs need more training. came back to edit this review, took the car on December 4 for an oil change, took it back because it was leaking oil, which was supposed to be fixed. UPDATE: the oil is still leaking. All photos attached below

I had a great experience working with Ken! He was very friendly, professional, and truly not your typical pushy car salesman. Ken took the time to listen, answered all my questions, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I never felt pressured, just supported in finding the right car for me. I highly recommend Ken to anyone looking for an honest and enjoyable car-buying experience. The financial man, Colten, also made that aspect of finalizing the car super easy! Everyone at Honda are truly wonderful and nice people.

Bobby Rahal Honda of State College is the best car dealership I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Shout outs to Evan Eppley and Matt Kennedy in the Sales Department, and Alex Brown and Mike Clitherow in the service department, all of whom went above and beyond in helping me with my recent car purchase and service needs. I can not say enough good things about this dealership. They are honest and helpful and truly care about the customer. I would highly recommend Bobby Rahal Honda of State College for all your automotive needs.

I bought my very first car here. Ken was a great salesman. I bought a 2021 Honda accord touring hybrid. They gave it to me for a reasonable price. Thanks Ken for spending the time you did with me

A major repair was necessary for our out of warranty car. This was unexpected and untimely. Casey was our Service Dept. representative. She was very professional, polite and explained the issues well. It took over a week to have all the repairs made and Casey kept us informed throughout the process. In my opinion, the dealership and their staff are exceptional. They are highly recommended. Thank you all so very much for helping us through this situation!

The sales team is always a joy to work with. They always find ways to go above and beyond what is necessary. We just bought our 2nd Honda from them and will continue to buy from them as long as Honda continues to make vehicles we enjoy.

This dealership was by far the best choice I could have made. I had owned the same car for many years, so upgrading was a big step for me. When I saw that a vehicle I was interested in had just come in, I reached out right away. Despite it being an extremely busy day, Matt, the sales manager, went above and beyond to provide information and move the car through their process quickly. When I arrived for my appointment, I was greeted by another Matt, who was equally friendly and helpful. He introduced me to Leigh, who turned out to be the best salesperson I’ve ever worked with. She created a relaxed and comfortable environment while making sure I was fully informed about the car. Her friendly and knowledgeable approach made the experience outstanding—I would recommend her to anyone. To top it off, Josiah in financing was just as friendly and easy to work with. Throughout the entire process, this dealership made sure I had all the information I needed and took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly. I plan to keep this car for a long time, but if I ever decide to upgrade again, I’ll gladly make the two-hour drive back. Huge thanks to the entire Bobby Rahal team!

John Marsden is the best salesman! Thank you for the nice deal and great car! The whole trade in process was smooth and fast. Thank you for that!

Can't recommend this dealership enough! Best experience we've ever had buying a car by far. Everything was made so quick and easy. John was a pleasure to deal with. Would definitely buy here again and encourage others to do so.

I took our Ridgeline to a dealership in Muncy , Pa. I was told it was not warranty and the cost would be about $4000 to fix . I explained to them that it had an 8 year warranty on the Transmission, to which they told me I was sadly misinformed. I then decided to try Bobby Rahal in State College . Casey was incredible she got the truck in the next day . They diagnosed the problem and assured me it was in fact a warranty issue . Casey kept me in the loop during the whole process. 5 days later my car was repaired and given back to me. Casey Fleagle you and your team are the best. Other dealerships should go watch how Bobby Rahal Honda operates. Thank You , Lee Miller.

I’ve taken my 2006 Honda Accord to these guys for a year or so. For routine things, they are expensive but get the job done, so I’ve stuck with them. However, I no longer have trust in their service department and I’ll be taking my car elsewhere. Recently, I started hearing a squeaking noise when turning. I’ve now brought the car in three times. After taking video/audio to them on my own because the first technician didn’t hear anything wrong, I was told it’s brake issues, a control arm needing replacement, parts needing lubrication, etc. I’ve now spent over $1000 on their recommended solutions (and to be fair they gave me a $100 discount for missing the issue the first time). However, two days after my last service visit, the exact same problem that I started with is occurring all over again. I understand that complex issues take time and effort to fix, I understand that my car is a bit older, and I also have no doubt the problems they identified were real… but I’d expect a Honda dealership of all places to be able to find and fix the underlying problem without requiring four visits. It does not give me faith in their abilities.

I recently purchased my 2025 Honda Accord from Bobby Rahal Honda of State College, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff was professional and knowledgeable, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. They took the time to answer all my questions and ensured I was comfortable with my decision. The dealership also provides excellent after-sale support, and the service department is efficient and friendly. I highly recommend Bobby Rahal Honda of State College to anyone looking for a quality car and an excellent buying experience!

Excellent service. But what I really appreciate is they don’t try to upsell, unlike other local dealerships: Like go in for an oil change and they tell you that you need a new transmission. I’ll keep going back to Rahal just for this reason!

Horrible place to go with your vehicle. My son went for oil change and Transmission fluid after couple days, I have a diagnostic from Bobby Rahal, I have to replace Transmission. After a month long story short, I paid $6,483.46 for service " DONE" same day I went back to HONDA job wasn't done properly. My experience is dissatisfied, I feel worst customer service and discrimination for being from Dominican 🇩🇴 Republic. I don't recommend this dealer... Horrible

Its been a LONG time since I have had an enjoyable car buying experience, but the staff at Bobby Rahal’s accomplished just that! Salesman Evan was very knowledgeable and helpful without any pressure. He even walked me through all the technology and saved me a day of reading! Evan and the Pre-Owned Manager John were able to work me a deal on a used certified Honda Passport they just got and they even gave me a loaner car while they fixed an AC unit! The AC is frigid now, and the Passport has brand new tires, is inspected until next year and I feel I am in a safe reliable vehicle. I was able to return the loaner on the weekend to Christine who was just so friendly! Finance Manager Josiah even showed me how to save a little money using biweekly payments! Overall it was a very enjoyable experience. I am very happy with my first Honda and I will DEFINITELY be back!

I have purchased cars and had them serviced at Rahal Honda for years. Most recently there was a small issue with a new used car that I had purchased. Due to the nature of the repair, Rahal's GM Matt personally coordinated the repair. When I picked up my vehicle, my service advisor Casey had arranged to have my vehicle cleaned. I really can't say enough about these folks. They have done a very good job at hiring the right people. Everyone I deal with is professional, and kind.

Had a wonderful car buying experience here! Ben was great throughout the entire process and every single person I came in contact with here was so friendly and helpful! Highly recommend them for anyone looking to purchase a car!

It was a very smooth process overall right from Day 1. This is a great place with friendly staff. They are very transparent about the vehicle records and very polite and friendly with the customers. John Marsden is an excellent sales consultant who patiently spent answering all my queries as well as email and clarified everything excellently. He was even ready to come and work on his day off so that it could help me with the purchase. He is a very dedicated employee!

I bought my car from Bobby Rahal three years ago and have had nothing but great experiences. The service team goes above and beyond every single time I have to get the car inspected or serviced. I had an emergency with my transmission this morning and Alex and Shannon were both fantastic despite my frustration with the situation. I have worked with Alex almost every time I have gone there and he has always been accommodating and kind. The customer service is outstanding, the staff is friendly, the service is excellent, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

10/10 recommend buying a car here! From the moment we arrived on the lot we were greeted with friendliness. From the test drive, to the finance office, to the service after the sale, everything was fantastic!

We had a wonderful experience purchasing our Honda from bobby Rahal of State College. The sales team, including John Marsden, did a wonderful job. Normally, the finance part is too long and where you are upsold on stuff, you may not want. At Rahal's, the finance process was quick, easy, and super convenient with a large, desk size touch screen, walking you through step by step. It only took about twenty minutes to complete everything. Our sales person, John, had our CR-V sitting in the showroom, waiting for the deal to complete. We had a very positive, fun buying experience.

I had an amazing experience purchasing my 2020 Honda Civic. I had the pleasure working with my sales consultant Alex. He was very friendly, informative and helpful. Joe in finance was very insightful and helpful as I completed my paperwork. I’m extremely satisfied with my car and couldn’t have asked for a better deal. I will definitely recommend Bobby Rahal Honda to my family and friends! 😁

Shout out to Alex for selling me this beauty!! Very fair price, reasonable offer on my trade (I think this is the first time I didn't attempt to haggle), and superb service all along the way! Joe in Finance answered all of my questions completely, and he was so helpful! I appreciate Alex's attention to detail in explaining all of the options and settings on the car before I drove her off the lot - which was helpful since it was my first time driving her!!

Great attentive staff. Friendly and knowledgeable. Always heard good things about Bobby Rahal but never experienced it until yesterday. Buying my first Honda today, can't wait to pick it up! Update: Got my car and the paperwork was smooth and painless, no snags. The car is amazing and super fun to drive. Highly recommend this dealership for used and new car cars - well done!

We bought a new CRV on may15 and love it. The dealership did an excellent job expediting our information gathering stage and then negotiating when we had a price from another dealer. Besides the excellent price they gave us, the reason we bought from them was the dealership and how we were treated. There were no games in the shopping visit. They were upfront with all information. They understood we did not want to spend hours with them but rather wanted to cut to the chase and get what we needed. We had already decided on the car make and model so did not do a test drive and they were fine with that. They were responsive by email and phone. On our first visit the salesperson we were confirmed to meet with was called away unexpectedly and they had other people ready and waiting...they sent their A team as back up and we appreciated that! We live an hour from the dealership so appointments were important and needed to be kept on our schedule. We only buy cars every 10-12 years but we will go back to Rahal in State college next time and encourage friends and family to go there too. Great experience.

So happy with our new vehicles! Everybody was very friendly and made sure to say hello even though they weren't taking care if us directly! Christina, Jen, Jon, and Leigh went out of their way to make sure we were getting the best deals and 100% taken care of! Car buying is such a long process, but they made it quick, easy and fun! I would recommend this dealership to anyone and we will be doing business again in the future! Thanks everybody!! We appreciate you!!

Bought my First Honda, A 2017 Civic SI Sedan from here at end of June. They are great to deal with for Car Sales. No Hard Sell. Test Drive followed by "Go home and have a think and let me know" Awesome. 3 weeks after they sold me the car it was hit and now they are going above and beyond to help me get everything sorted out, recommended a Collision repair shop and helping with everything else i need. These guy's are awesome. Will probably never buy from another dealer again.
