My Review of Airport Honda:
Derek was an out-standing salesman. Very helpful and knowledgable of the Honda product. He gave us time to look around and asked us questions too. He was not pushy and demanding, like most of the car dealerships can be. When delivering the vehicle, Derek explained every detail of my car purchase including the CRZ special features and how to use them. Airport Honda should be proud to have Derek as a member of there team. He's a definite asset!! My husband, Chris was so pleased with the service, that his son, Matt, made a car purchase from Derek the same day!!

Sincerely,
Kelly & Chris Jesmer

My Review of Airport Honda:
I bought my accord new from Derek several months ago and he told me when it came time to service it he would come and get it himself. Well three months later he did just that :-)

My Review of Airport Honda:
My wife and I came here just to look at cars, and even though they didn't initially have any cars we wanted, we were so impressed by how helpful Derek Smith was that we didn't look anywhere else. He explained a lot about every car we looked at, giving us the pros and cons of each one and helped us know what we could expect for our price range. A few days later we got a call that they'd just got a Saturn Vue in, and we went to look at it. Billy Morton showed it to us and was extremely helpful. Neither him nor Derek were pushy, but both made me want to buy a car from them by their honesty and kindness. We ended up buying the Vue, and are very happy with it. Everyone we worked with -- particularly Derek and Billy -- was so helpful that I hope to buy our next car from here as well. I've never been so happy with any car dealer before. The only thing that upset us was when we went to get financing, Frank seemed to just want us to sign everything he pushed at us without question, so we came out of his office scared we were getting ripped off or were going to get horrible financing. Everything ended up going through fine the way we wanted it, but we would have felt a lot better on buying day if he'd explained our financing better. Instead, the only way we found out anything was by asking him questions, which he seemed to try and avoid. Perhaps some of this was just because it was a Saturday and he said he couldn't know anything for sure until Monday when the bank was open. Overall though, our experience was very good, and like I said before, I hope to come back here next time we want to buy a car.

My Review of Airport Honda:
Had a very good experience leasing a new CR-V from Airport Honda. Derek Smith welcomed me to the dealership and was very informative. He gave me a thorough tour of the vehicle covering the highlights, safety features, and accessories available. He handled all the paperwork in an efficient manner and made certain that the vehicle met my satisfaction before I drove it off of the lot. Airport Honda is a first class dealership and I would recommend them if you're in the market for a car!

My Review of Airport Honda:
I am very happy with the service that Derek provided us. He allowed me to take the car for a day or two and really see if I was going to be satisfied and you don't get that type of service anymore. Having traded my SUV for a two door coupe, it really allowed me to see if I could handle it and to see what it would be like driving it day to day.

My Review of Airport Honda:
Everything went so smoothly purchasing my Honda Accord. Every question possible I had was answered and my sales person was very knowledgable on every feature of the car and very friendly. I felt as if I was talking to family rather thatn someone I had just met. Is a great place to buy a car and would highly reccommend to anyone.

My Review of Airport Honda:
Derek went out of his way to get me in the honda I needed at the price I could afford. Then he helped me get out to work in an efficient manner. Others in sales were also very informative and helpful. All in all , one of the best car experiences Ive had. I am 62 yrs of age and have lived across the USA and this dealership is the best Ive ever worked with.
