No "pushy" sales approach, and they were careful to answer every question we had, or find someone who did have the answer. We bought a 2011 Fit, and look forward to many years of use with it! We own a Honda Accord already, and knew buying another Honda was the smartest choice for value, perfomance and reliability. More
John Wright was very helpful right from the start. He didn't try to sell me a car. Instead, he talked to me about what I liked, what price range I was looking at, and what features were important to me. didn't try to sell me a car. Instead, he talked to me about what I liked, what price range I was looking at, and what features were important to me. He only showed me cars that he knew I would be interested in, and never once did I feel pressured to buy a car. I am 100% confident that if Gary Smith Honda had no cars on their lot that I was interested in then I could have walked away without anyone trying to show me something that I was not interested in. After finding the right car, Rayce stepped in and really helped me out with the financing and getting the extended warranty and other things I wanted. I really feel that both John and Rayce went above and beyond to help put me in the car that I wanted at a price I was willing to pay. If I am still in the area when it comes time for a new car, Gary Smith Honda will be the first place I look. More
Went to trade in and buy a new car. Had a great time, they were really nice and did not pressure us at all. Very upfront, didn't attempt to hide costs, switch anything out, and spelled out the costs of they were really nice and did not pressure us at all. Very upfront, didn't attempt to hide costs, switch anything out, and spelled out the costs of additional options during the finance discussions. We got the car for a fair price with more for the trade in than I expected. We plan to deal with them for as long as we live in the area. I'd feel very comfortable sending a friend or family member there. More
I bought my first Honda Fit from Gary Smith Honda in 2007. I got all of my maintenance done on my car there and did not have any problems with it the entire time I owned it. I recently went in and tra 2007. I got all of my maintenance done on my car there and did not have any problems with it the entire time I owned it. I recently went in and traded my old Fit for a new Fit. I had a limited budget and could not exceed what I was currently paying for my old car. Paul and the financing staff at Gary Smith Honda not only found an option to help me stay within my budget, but actually SAVED me money! I wouldn't have thought it possible when I went in, but I am paying less for my new car per month than I was paying for my old car. So - if you want a great car, great service, and great maintenance to keep your car running problem free, go to this dealership! Honda Fits are awesome and are the ONLY car I will purchase from now on and Gary Smith Honda is my dealer of choice to buy them. More
My family has purchased several cars from this dealership. They are all very friendly there and they personally knew my mom by name. We were out looking at the cars and Gator came out and called m dealership. They are all very friendly there and they personally knew my mom by name. We were out looking at the cars and Gator came out and called my mom's name and said hi and he and the salesman helped us out the entire time. Last time I bought a car, I was at a different Honda dealership because I was out of the area and the car buying process took FOREVER. Yesterday's purchase was very pleasant and speedy. I would definitely recommend this dealership. I will also say, saleswoman Trish at this dealer is an awesome saleswoman. She just happened to be off the day I purchased my car. More
A month long of car shopping, I decided to take a look at Honda. I work at a very large financial institution and those who own a Honda had nothing but good to say how reliable they are! I was greeted immedi Honda. I work at a very large financial institution and those who own a Honda had nothing but good to say how reliable they are! I was greeted immediately and felt very comfortable with my sales person, Irene(Pat was in training with her). I was able to drive the civic, accord, pilot and then the crosstour which I wound up purchasing. I was impressed with the knowledge both knew about each vehicle I drove. I also greatly appreciated the fact that both listened to me and understood my expectations in finding the right vehicle. They took great care with me- I was able to keep the car and drive it a while before making a decision. I had done my research on pricing and Kim worked with us on making a fair and good deal! "Gator" was awesome when it came time to get down to the finance paperwork. He walked us through everything making sure we understood and was receptive to all our questions. From beginning to end, the experience was super! in the past I have always dreaded looking for a new car. However, buying my 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour with Gary Smith honda has changed my mind in knowing if you buy the best product and find a dealer you can trust, it makes all the difference in the world!! I hope I continue to be as pleased as I have been thus far. I am not second guessing myself and feel pretty good that I made an excellent choice with buying and finding a "family" dealership! More
I had a wonderful experience with every aspect of my car purchase. All people involved were friendly, helpful and honest. The process was quick and painless. The sales staff went above and beyond.

Ryan spent extra time explaining many intricate details about the car as well as setting up the blue tooth. I have recommended Gary Smith Honda to many friends and will shop there again. More
When I bring my car in for servicing or a problem, Latone is always there to greet me when I pull up and knows me by name....that's impressive, especially when I don't have an appointment and she sees many, is always there to greet me when I pull up and knows me by name....that's impressive, especially when I don't have an appointment and she sees many, many people each day and for as often as she sees me. If I'm waiting on the car, Wayne always comes out and speaks to me and lets me know what's being done and about how long the wait will be. If I drop it off to pick up later, Wayne always calls me or my husband to let us know what's wrong and how much it will cost. I really appreciate that! Whether I'm waiting or picking up, Latone always takes the time to go over everything before I pay for services. Everyone I have dealt with at Gary Smith Honda have been extemely helpful and friendly! More
My daughter was in Destin working for the summer and her Honda would not start. She took it to this dealership and the price to fix an ignition switch on a 1992 Honda Accord was quoted at around $500.00 (ma Honda would not start. She took it to this dealership and the price to fix an ignition switch on a 1992 Honda Accord was quoted at around $500.00 (maybe a little less I don't remember exactly). It was around 300 for the switch and 150-200 for labor. Price for the switch on the internet: 32.00 Price if I replaced it: 0. Price to have another repair shop tow it from Gary Smith, buy a more expensive switch and labor to repair it 200. Never having to deal with this Honda dealer and writing a negative review: priceless. The only positive thing I can say is that they did accurately diagnose the problem and didn't charge me for it (although this is a "known problem"). More
I gave an intranet oil change special coupon for $24.95. No mention was made of additional charges. The bill comes and the charge is $25.60 plus $1.54 tax for a total of $27.14.

The amount is not fatal to anyone but it is more than advertised; this is WRONG and disappointing to the consumer. Why say it is $24.95 when it isn't! More
