One Year on East Tremont Avenue: Thank You, The Bronx

August 1st, 2026 by

One year ago today, Jason Montalvo became Co-Owner and Managing Partner of Honda of The Bronx.

It has been a wonderful year, and we owe most of it to this neighborhood. Here’s what it looked like.

A year of showing up

October 2025 was our busiest month, and our proudest. Jason spent a morning with students at MS 244 for Hispanic Heritage Month, and the documentary we made about it became our most-watched video ever. He gave the keynote at The Bronx Small Business Development Center’s luncheon at Lehman College. And on Halloween we cleared the showroom for Trunk or Treat, our first community event, and about 150 families came.

In November, Latin Biz Today honored Jason with the Latin Business Spirit Award.

And this July, we opened the showroom for a World Cup watch party. The room filled with staff families, customers, and neighbors who saw the crowd through the glass and walked in. BronxNet covered it as a news story.

The full list, with thank-yous, is here.

Our team

The jobs a Bronx business creates should go to Bronx residents, and somebody gave Jason a shot once, which shapes how he hires.

Thank you to every person on this team for a year of hard work. None of the above happens without them.

Our four promises

Your time matters. You’ve a life to get back to.

The deals are back in The Bronx. Every fee in writing before you sign.

Customer first. New Pilot or a Civic with 190,000 miles, same welcome.

Convenience. Shop right here in the neighborhood.

All four carry into year two.

Still ahead

We’d love year two’s list to be even longer, and the best way for that to happen is for people to tell us what would help. Our door is open at [email protected], and so is our showroom.

The whole first year

Thank you

To every customer who gave a new owner a chance this year, thank you. To MS 244, The Bronx SBDC, The Bronx Children’s Museum, Golden Corral, Latin Biz Today, The Bronx Tourism Council, and BronxNet, thank you for opening doors to us. And to this borough, thank you for the welcome.
