My Review of Apostolakis Honda:
When purchasing a big purchase, I like to do my research. I like to get as many prices as possible so I can compare and educate myself as to whether or not I am getting a good deal. I received a quote for a new car from another honda dealership and then I made the huge mistake and I went to Apostolakis.
The sales person put me on the defensive. He asked me why I went to his dealership since I live in Youngstown. He pressured me to do business with him when all I wanted was a quote. He wanted to close the deal after I told him that I was just getting information together.
He did not give me a quote because he said there was nothing stopping me from going to the other dealership so I can get a better deal from them. He did not want to play one dealership against each other. That was not my intention. I just wanted to shop around so I could get the best deal and I planned on giving the the dealership who treated me the best the business.
Had he not pressured me and had he not make me feel as if I was a criminal asking for a quote, I would have seriously considered to buy a car at Apostolakis. He bad mouthed two other honda dealerships and just sang the glories of Apostolakis. What a typical car salesman, he was awful.
I left the dealership feeling as if I did something wrong and did not appreciate how he treated me. I will tell all my friends who are considering a new honda to not go to Apostolakis. This employee needs to put himself into the customer's shoes instead of being an overbearing bully. There is nothing wrong with doing research and with getting other quotes. He needs to realize being a jerk won't win you any business.
If you are looking for a new honda, don't waste your time with this dealership. It made me not to even want to buy a new car. I'm sticking with my old car and will save 20k.
