Could tell from the ver Visited Rusty Wallis Honda to look into purchasing a new vehicle the family. Got the privilege of working with Kevin Harper. Could tell from the very beginning that he wanted to help us out in any way that he could and get us into what wanted. He was very knowledgeable and able to answer all the questions that me and my wife had throughout the whole process to make sure we understood everything. Kevin Harper is very good at what he does and does it in a manner that does not make you feel pressured or rushed. In the end Kevin worked hard for us and was able to help us work out a deal that fit our needs and budget and we were able to leave in our new HR-V. The whole process was great and would suggest this place to anyone and to work with Kevin Harper in particular. More

I immediately was greeted by Kevin Harper who began to assist me in my search. I really wanted an SUV, and kept my options open. We started off with two vehicles that I had come to the lot in search for, and though I was not approved for either of them, I still ended up driving off the lot in a lovely vehicle. Behind they scenes they made sure to find me something similar to what I was looking for, as well as something affordable. Kevin Harper was extremely helpful in helping me find a car, and I'm very pleased with my new 2014 Honda CRV. :) More

I spotted a certified 2014 Honda Accord EX-L, fully loaded, very low mileage and immaculate condition. I called the dealership to inquire and was told by Lauren that I would be contacted by the salesman Kevin Harper. Mr. Harper called shortly and we made an appointment for a test drive. When we arrived we met Kevin, who was very friendly,, the car buying anxiety disappeared. After a nice test drive, we went in the office to work out an agreement. Kevin was very professional. He listened and answered all our quetions and showed a genuine interest in meeting our desire as well as those of the dealership.A deal was made.We then went to the business office where we met John Haddock, business manager,who too was very nice, he had all papers ready to be signed.and 10 minutes later we had the keys and was driving home. I would highly reccomend Rusty Wallis Honda to anyone wanting to buy a car. A special thanks to both Kevin and John for making this my most pleasant car buying ex- perience ever.

Great first time car buying experience for my 20 year old! From the time we were greeted at the door to the second he was given his keys- this was a great experience for my son. My 20 year old needed a reliab From the time we were greeted at the door to the second he was given his keys- this was a great experience for my son. My 20 year old needed a reliable car for college with a reasonable car payment. Kevin was honest and thorough throughout the whole buying process and presented cars in my son's price range and even taking the insurance into consideration for his age. We went to two car lots that day and came back to Rusty Wallis the second time to speak back with Kevin. We came back because we trusted Kevin. Long story short my son got a really NICE Honda Civic and it was exactly what he wanted. The Business Manager John Haddock was awesome as well!! He walked us through the financing options and everything lined up perfectly! To see the smile on my son's face and to walk with him through his first car buying experience was AWESOME! Thanks Kevin! Thanks John! More

Everything is Awesome I live in McKinney which isn’t terribly far away, but I admit that Rusty Wallis Honda wasn’t originally on my short-list of dealerships to visit when I live in McKinney which isn’t terribly far away, but I admit that Rusty Wallis Honda wasn’t originally on my short-list of dealerships to visit when I began my search for a new, pre-owned vehicle. However, due to a series of fortunate events, that’s where I ended up one Monday night after work. When I pulled into the used car department, I noticed that there weren’t any other cars in the customer parking area. And, on top of that, there was a sales representative hanging around outside the entrance fairly near me. I was starting to get that feeling – you know, that mild feeling of dread/anxiety, like you’re walking into the shark tank and you know you’re not the shark. Anyway, I got out of my vehicle and was pleasantly surprised that I wasn’t immediately accosted by the salesman. Instead, he just casually watched as I looked around before heading toward the building. That’s when I was welcomed – and I genuinely believe that “welcomed” is the right word here – by Kevin Harper. He was extremely pleasant and easy to talk to. I never once got that stereotypical, slick used car salesman vibe. He’s just a regular, nice guy who happens to sell used cars. I had been doing research for days, so I had a pretty good idea of exactly what I was looking for, and I knew that they had exactly one car on the lot which fit the description: a three year old, certified Civic, with 30-40K miles. Sadly, someone had beaten me to it. Well, since I was already there, I decided to take a look around and see what else they had – mainly to firm up in my mind what color I wanted when I went out shopping again later that week. Well, Kevin walked me around and showed me what they had, and he even drove me to the back of the lot and showed me some of the inventory which they had just purchased but that hadn’t been through the reconditioning process yet. I saw a couple of vehicles which I liked but based on the years (newer) and the mileage (lower), I knew they were out of my price range. That’s when my new friend Kevin Harper said something I was highly skeptical about: What if we can make the numbers on one of these work out the same as the car I had seen online before? Well, I didn’t have anywhere else to be that night, and there weren’t tons of customers or anything for me to be taking him away from, so I figured, why not – I’ll go along with this for a bit; I was kind of curious to see how it would play out. So, we got in the office and started looking at the numbers. I had read a ton of articles online about how you’re supposed to negotiate the best deal with a used car salesman; things to do; things to not do. Well, since I was pretty confident we were going to be *really* far apart on price and weren’t going to be making a deal on any of the cars we had been looking at, I decided to just toss all of that advice out the window and tell him straight-up how much I could afford to make as a down payment and how much I could afford to spend each month, both what I was comfortable spending and what I could stretch and spend. And if they had a car on the lot that I wanted and would work with those numbers then we would be in business. So, here is the awesome part: After a bit of back and forth, we ended up coming to an agreement on a much better car than I thought I was going to be able to afford at a price that was exactly within my budget! Instead of getting a three year old, certified Civic, with 40K miles, I ended up making a deal on a one year old Civic with just over 20K miles. I literally got more car for my money than I was expecting, and I couldn’t be happier. How awesome is that!?! I mean, seriously, when was the last time you bought a car and actually felt good about the experience? Well, if you’re in the market for a certified Honda, visit Rusty Wallis Honda, ask for Kevin Harper, and then see for yourself. Well, if you’ve read this far and are still with me, here’s how the rest of the process went down. Next up was financing with Manny Garcia. He was so much nicer than the last finance person I worked with – of course, that was at a different dealership ‘which shall not be named.’ He didn’t try to sell me a bunch of needless add-ons, though he did make a very reasoned argument for why I should consider purchasing an extended warranty. There was a small hiccup with the interest rate, but only because the banks were closed so they couldn’t negotiate a percentage lower than what they had on file for my credit rating (which was in the highest bracket). I was confident I would qualify for a lower rate, so I asked to take the buyer sheet and just call around in the morning (while they did the same) to secure the loan and then finish the deal in the morning. That’s when I was introduced to Mr. Syed Abidi, the new car sales manager. He was happy to modify the contract slightly so that I was guaranteed to get rate I wanted and after visiting with me he even authorized a modest price adjustment to the vehicle as well. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t like he lowered the price by thousands of dollars or anything, but it was enough to move my payment from my ‘stretch budget’ back towards my original, ‘comfortable budget.’ I’m sure they still made money on the deal, but it was an unexpected courtesy that made me an even more satisfied customer. So much so, in fact, that Rusty Wallis Honda will now be the first place I shop for all of my future car purchases. Dot. The End. TL/DR: Great staff. Great service. Oh yeah, and I got an awesome deal on an awesome car – even better than what I expected or though was possible. Tags: Rusty Wallis Honda, Kevin Harper, Manny Garcia, Syed Abidi, Awesome More

Thorough, yet to the point! Kevin Harper did not approach me as an aggressive salesperson, but with confidence. He introduced himself and handed me his card. I went to the dealer Kevin Harper did not approach me as an aggressive salesperson, but with confidence. He introduced himself and handed me his card. I went to the dealership knowing what I wanted from my previous online search. However, I still wanted to look around and I was able to do so on my own without an escort. When I was ready I looked for Kevin and he was patiently waiting for me at a distance. I appreciated this experience. I felt Kevin was thorough, yet to the point and no pressure. He also excels at customer service. Thanks again, Kevin. Yolonda H. More

Kevin Harper I don't believe 5 stars should be given to those who simply sale a car! I believe that 5 stars are given to those who build a relationship, an underst I don't believe 5 stars should be given to those who simply sale a car! I believe that 5 stars are given to those who build a relationship, an understanding of the customer, and then help the customer find the perfect car for all their wants and needs! Those stars are earned after you walk into a dealership with the expectation of being treated as just another number, but you're are actually treated as a person, and you know you'll leave having made the best decision for you. Before I went Rusty Wallis Honda I honestly had almost given up on car shopping. As a young woman walking into over 10 dealerships alone in the last 3 weeks I had never been taken serious, nor had I been treated with any level of respect! I had no idea how much that experience was about to change! Mr. Kevin Harper not only treated me the highest level of respect, but he also took so much time to show me what Honda had to offer, helped me understand what was most important, and helped me stay in a practical budget. He never rushed me to make a decision, nor pushed me to vehicle I didn't really like. The whole team treated me with such respect. Even the team lead took the time to come over to introduce himself, and make sure I was happy from beginning to end! The staff at this dealership was hands down the BEST, most professional, and helpful dealership I've ever experienced. I am so greatful for Mr. Harper along with the rest of the team. Since the day I pulled away from the dealership In my new car, I've told everyone I can possibly tell how amazing you guys truly are! Thank you again Rusty Wallis Honda for remembering keeping the customer 1st! More
