First, I will say that I fell in love with the 2008 Ford Taurus at the first place I went.However, their asking price was more than I was able to afford. But!!! When I came to Honda of Ames, Mr. Fox was so Taurus at the first place I went.However, their asking price was more than I was able to afford. But!!! When I came to Honda of Ames, Mr. Fox was so sincere and honest and not bad looking either! He was very patient with me and understood my my need and want and was able to help me get the best deal! I was over-joyed! He is someone I will continue to go to with my new car purchasing needs! He was phenomenal and put me and my children in something that made us very happy! What a great guy! Not many are like that, and he made my very first car buying experience the best ever! More

I just started car shopping and didn't expect to purchase a car today, but given the helpfulness of the salesperson, the right car in stock, and a fair price, I now own a new car! Brian, the salespe purchase a car today, but given the helpfulness of the salesperson, the right car in stock, and a fair price, I now own a new car! Brian, the salesperson, was very helpful. He knew the car inside and out and was able to answer my many questions with patient, intelligent answers. The process was surprisingly painless; I might even say enjoyable. More

Went in for oil change and new tires for 2011 cr-v and was approached by sales staff about qualifying for a new cr-v at same trim level for same payment. After discussing things, test driving, I drove awa was approached by sales staff about qualifying for a new cr-v at same trim level for same payment. After discussing things, test driving, I drove away in my new 2013 model and things could not have gone more smoothly. I was pressed for time, they got everything covered within a couple of hours, including my test drive. This is the second new car I have purchased from this dealer and I have never felt overly pressured and have gotten very fair trade in allowances for my older vehicle. I would recommend them anytime!

I had high hopes that this Honda dealer would be ethical and fair. I was wrong. They tried the usual game of recommending changing the automatic transmission fluid flush at 30K, instead of the manufacturer' and fair. I was wrong. They tried the usual game of recommending changing the automatic transmission fluid flush at 30K, instead of the manufacturer's recommendation of 60K. They said that they knew better than the engineers which designed the car. They also stated that Honda recommended at 60K to minimize cost of maintenance on the car. They said that the original tires were substandard (Car was bought brand new) and for $800 dollars, they would replace them. The tires only had 31K miles on them. Either Honda is putting junk tires on new cars or the dealer is lying. More

We have purchased cars from other dealerships before, but there is no comparison to Lithia of Ames. We had a great experience with Rich, Pete and Mel. These men made the purchase of my new car a breeze. We p there is no comparison to Lithia of Ames. We had a great experience with Rich, Pete and Mel.

This was the first time we actually went to purchase a new car. We had narrowed our options down to three specific models and makes of cars. We went to Honda of Ames first because there were a couple of new car. We had narrowed our options down to three specific models and makes of cars. We went to Honda of Ames first because there were a couple of Accords that I had picked out as favorites. (Price, color, gas mileage, safety features, specific details). Jared came right out to meet us, answered the questions that we had, and took us for a test drive. When we went in to negotiate, Jared worked to get us the best deal possible. We wound up leasing the very Accord that I wanted. Jared got an increase on the lease miles and monthly payments. He called on three separate occasions to ask if we had any questions or concerns. We have now had the Accord for 3 weeks and I couldn't be more pleased with the car and our experience with the Jared. Not only would I purchase/lease another Honda, I would go back to Ames Honda to do it. More
