Sales visit - new I went to Wilde Honda in July 2019 to take a look at the CR-Vs, but didn't buy one because I was considering other options. The salesman, Jim Timpson, I went to Wilde Honda in July 2019 to take a look at the CR-Vs, but didn't buy one because I was considering other options. The salesman, Jim Timpson, was very helpful, courteous, thorough and knowledgeable. He showed us all the features of the vehicle in detail and with great patience, knowing that we were coming from older vehicles without the current technology options. After looking at other vehicle brands, we decided to buy a CR-V and went back to Wilde to see Jim. Of all the salesmen we talked with at other dealerships, no one compared to Jim's sense of attention to the customer. He couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. Kudos also to Joe Doyle in finance for going over all the details carefully so that we had a clear understanding of everything involving the purchase. And lastly, Lindsay, our vehicle specialist, took her time showing us the technology and safety features of the the CR-V, also knowing we were coming from older model vehicles. Lindsay gave us a comprehensive demonstration of the vehicle and set up all the presets for us, including syncing the iPhone. We definitely recommend Jim, Joe and Lindsay! More

Michael Malmsbury - Wilde Honda My wife and I just leased/ purchased our 5th Honda at Wilde Honda with the assistance of Michael Malmsbury. I used to hate the automobile dealership e My wife and I just leased/ purchased our 5th Honda at Wilde Honda with the assistance of Michael Malmsbury. I used to hate the automobile dealership experience. We have trusted the Honda brand for 15 years and bought four Honda vehicles prior to moving to Sarasota. When it came time to look for another we were so fortunate to walk into Wilde and first meet Michael. Michael knows the Honda vehicle lineup and I believe is the most honest salesperson I have dealt with. I know when Michael quotes a price I’m not going to beat it. I have tried early in our dealings. I know if I have a question after bringing my vehicle home Michael is a phone call away. I carry Michaels business card in my wallet and if someone says they are looking for a vehicle I give them Michaels card and tell them of our experiences. I very much appreciate Michael.

Great Experience! We just purchased a 2017 Kia Forte from Michael Malmsbury and it was a great experience. We were initially "shopping around" but Michael was so helpfu We just purchased a 2017 Kia Forte from Michael Malmsbury and it was a great experience. We were initially "shopping around" but Michael was so helpful, the decision was easy. The Kia Forte was unfamiliar to us, but MIchael's explanations and insight into the car put us at ease. As we are new to Sarasota/Florida, he was also helpful in regards registration, insurance, maintenance, etc. Michael was attentive without being pushy and straightforward. We would highly recommend Michael. More

No Games! Great Price! Quick and compassionate. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the vehicle we leased with Michael. We had a family emergency and had to get a deal done quickly. Micha My wife and I could not be more pleased with the vehicle we leased with Michael. We had a family emergency and had to get a deal done quickly. Michael really looked out for us by making sure he had everything prepared in a timely manner. There was "no smoke" because he honored the promotion on the website (after other dealerships played games with us). Michael was very friendly and knowledgeable and answered any of the questions we threw at him with ease. Definitely the best car leasing experience we have ever had. Thank you Wilde Honda Sarasota!!!
