I began my career at Honda of Columbia in 2016 as an oil change technician and advanced through the certified technician training program, earning my certification. I also served as a Used Car Technician during my time in the service department. After eight years of hands-on automotive experience, I transitioned into the role of Service Advisor and have since moved into sales. With a comprehensive understanding of both our vehicles and dealership operations, I’m well equipped to answer any questions and help you find the right vehicle. Visit me at Honda of Columbia!

Troy Foate is amazing! ! He provided excellent service, with a no-pressure, attentive approach that prioritized our needs. We are super happy with the experience and purchas ! He provided excellent service, with a no-pressure, attentive approach that prioritized our needs. We are super happy with the experience and purchase. You can tell Tony is dedicated to customer satisfaction and will work to get you a great price. Regis Fanning, the Finance Manager, is a very nice guy and was helpful, even when we changed our minds on some of the extra warranty offers. This is our second purchase from Honda of Columbia, we purchased a Pilot 11 years ago that still runs like a Honda should because of the excellent maintenance it had from their Service Center. You were right Tony, I'm loving my upgrade to the Passport Elite! Just like before, it was a positive, customer-focused experience worth returning for. Go see Tony at Honda of Columbia, you won't regret it!! More
