Brandon Benoit | Page 3

After getting the run around and shady practices at Lexus of Orange Park, I was very discouraged. Honda of Sarasota went above and beyond to help me. I was treated with kindness and respect. My salesman Sedr of Orange Park, I was very discouraged. Honda of Sarasota went above and beyond to help me. I was treated with kindness and respect. My salesman Sedrick was very helpful and knowledgeable. Brandon in finance walked ne through each step without judgement and explained each item to me. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend this dealership! And the warranty? Well that was the icing on the cake! More

Brandon Benoit is the worst person to work with in the finance department. He was pleasant when we were there originally, but after experiencing his behavior while trying to get our money back has been ve finance department. He was pleasant when we were there originally, but after experiencing his behavior while trying to get our money back has been very upsetting. He claimed that it took 4-5 weeks to get our warranty removed. When asked about it, he added another week to his original comment, well it’s been over 7 weeks and no progress has been made. I reached out to the owner, no assistance. I tried reaching out to Brandon again and found out that my email has been blocked. Why would you need to block a customer that has never done anything mean. I have waited patiently this far, so to be blocked was completely unnecessary and says a lot about their work at Honda. Don’t get your car at Honda, better yet make sure you’re not workin with either Michael M or Brandon B. I was told by other customers that they are racist, but seeing how they have treated us, I can 100% say that I agree. They took advantage of my mothers lack of English, scammed us, and now blocked us. Says a lot about their character and integrity as a company. More

Michael A Malmsbury was our sales advisor and I THOUGHT he was great until I checked my loan bank account and saw the scam he pulled on us. I went with my mother, whom did not speak English very well, but he was great until I checked my loan bank account and saw the scam he pulled on us. I went with my mother, whom did not speak English very well, but if there was anything she knows is how to say “no.” In our culture, it is very common and encouraged to negotiate prices, and we did. We spent a few hours at the dealership adamant on this price and when Michael finally agreed, we thought we were getting a great deal! Until I realized he took advantage of my mothers lack of English and lied about asking her to add a certain warranty. If we were adamant on this exact price, why would my mother “agree” to add unnecessary warranty to our price. Exactly, she didn’t. He not only lied about this but he tried to use her language barrier for his own selfish benefit. Now, I am in the process of getting this warranty canceled and it is stressful when you thought you were paying a certain amount only to see them add an extra 7k to your loan. Be aware of their scams and make sure you fully read your contract before you sign. Even if you think they might be a decent person, you’re wrong. It is unfortunate because this completely ruined our experience with getting a new car. Update: Honda of Sarasota is the absolute worst place to get your car from. I worked with Michael AND Brandon Benoit and my I cannot be any more unsatisfied. I tried to reach out to the owner, whom I think is Michelle (no updates whatsoever), tried reaching out to Brandon (the person handling the finance) and was found out this morning that I was blocked. I have been extremely patient with them but it has been over 7 weeks and my loan amount has not been adjusted. So warning, if you get Brandon Benoit as the guy handling your finance, be careful of what you’re singing. He’ll not only scam you but block you for trying to get your situation solved. I am never one to leave negative reviews, but when they are taking advantage of my mother’s language barrier and then just treating us like this when we’re simply tryin to get it solved is ridiculous! If you’re a minority, don’t go here! They’ll just take advantage of you. More
