My Review of McDavid :
I love this place, we drove out to clear lake from sugarland because i had called and talked to Steve Sr. and asked if they had an 07 crv, i just wanted an lx. he said they did, even had a black one i wanted, so i told him we'd be out there in an hour. when we got there, he had the car already out in front, and didn't try to sell us anything else, he was the only salesman in houston that hadn't tried to talk me into the ex, he didn't even mention it. he was wonderful, and 3 hours later we drove the car home. (we waited a while for the car to be cleaned and tanked up, but we didn't want to come back the next day.) the finance guy tried to sell us a fancy warranty, but he didn't offend us or anything. we didn't try to haggle on the price, we knew it was about the only lx in houston and we had to have one that day. but we got the msrp, and they didn't add a thing to it, he even threw in free scotchguarding since we had brought our little boys. we paid cash so we didn't deal with the loan part. they had a great place for the kids to sit and watch tv, and they were full of customers, every other dealership we'd been to was pretty empty. makes you think. i would definitely go back there, they were great. just be sure you get steve!

My Review of McDavid :
My advice to you all is to do your research before you go, and do not waste one minute in McDavid.
After weeks of research, we decided to get a 07 Honda CRV LX with convinence package. With the researched numbers in mind and my check book in my pocket, we went down to McDavid Honda by the Almeda mall to take the final look.
The sales person who greeted us was very friendly, but had virtually no knowledge about the model. It was very difficult to let her understand what we need.
The sales manager was a lot worse than the sales person. After we sat there and stared at sales person going no where for about an hour. He came over, spent more time telling me how pretty my girl friend is then answering my questions. I made sure he understands we were there to buy a car and we had done our research. All I wanted to know is if he agrees with my propoosed price on a LX, or what kind of offer he can get us. Instead of answering any of my question, he keep pushing to sell his EX trim in stock, and he kept telling us people else are paying 3000 dollars over MSRP and we're lucky that we can get EX ( which we don't want ) for the MSRP. After a total of 2 hours of exhausting non-sense, He gave us a price which is about $ 1800 over what we expected. We asked him to break down the number, and we found that he added the dealer option environmental protection plan twice. $595. We decided that we had enough and walked out of the dealer. Before we left, he came over with the obnoxious 'TODAY ONLY' tactic one more time. Today only what...
I can not trust a dealer who have problem answering a straight forward question. I can not trust a dealer who avoid my questions on the model I want and keep selling the other model I have stated many times that I do not want. I can not trust a sales manager who can not add. It looked like he was trying to jack up the total price. I can not trust a dealer who uses tactics already warnned by the consummer reports. They tried to mix trade in with the price negociation, and I hate the 'TODAY ONLY' non sense.

My Advice: Do your research before you go to a car dealer. Know the sales tactics. They're plenty of tips on the web. Get up and leave as soon as something doesn't smell right.

My Review of McDavid :
McDavid Honda switched me to other vehicles I did not want! I was not happy with my salesperson and the manager was extremely rude. I went down the street to Honda of Clear Lake and my salesperson Paul Yuen took care of me. I would recommend him to all of my friends and family. He even gave me free loaner car service and oil changes for life! He took care of me and I am sure he will take care of you. DO NOT BUY FROM MCDAVID HONDA!

My Review of McDavid :
we went mcdavid houston to buy a honda accord and the sales manager was so rude that we were shocked. he asked us what rate we were looking for as 'it seemed' to him that we had already gone to other dealers. When we quoted a price he said "do you have cash for that money" we had a credit union check and he was like deal cannot be worked out and bye. We were so shocked that we could not even react. Shucks! with such bad service i wonder how they are still in the business.
