DARCARS Honda

Kevin Kreamer himself was excellent when we purchased our 2013 Honda Accord Touring on the evening of 2/23/13. He calculated the out-the-door price with us right over the phone, so there really was no time 2013 Honda Accord Touring on the evening of 2/23/13. He calculated the out-the-door price with us right over the phone, so there really was no time wasted negotiating price at the dealership. This is why we returned to Honda Bowie. We purchased a brand new 2011 Honda CR-V two years ago. The only negative I have is for marketing & management. We thought that the Premium Care For Life plan good on "ANY vehicle purchase at no additional cost, WITH exclusions" is quite misleading and confusing on the front webpage. It really did lead us to believe that it was included in our purchase "with no additional cost" until we were told that it does not apply to our internet manager price quote. We had to sign a waiver or pay for it. Long story short, we feel the front page advertising is an oxymoron. "ANY vehicle purchase at no additional cost, WITH exclusions?" This is certainly "an exclusive advertising oxymoron, from a Honda Dealer like no other." Indeed, "only Honda of Bowie does it!" This puts a bittersweet sour taste in our overall experience. We believe it should be included in our new vehicle purchase "at no additional cost." My suggestion is for Honda of Bowie to stop saying that the Premium Care For Life plan is "good on ANY vehicle purchase at no additional cost," on the internet if there are exclusions. Especially when Internet price quotes are excluded. We did not get it on our 2011. And we certainly did not get it on our 2013. With warm regards, C. Hsu More

I wanted a new car and had been given the run around at two different car dealers, I called Honda of Bowie Mr Elliott Bournne told me come and pick out my car. I really thought they where going to give me two different car dealers, I called Honda of Bowie Mr Elliott Bournne told me come and pick out my car. I really thought they where going to give me the run around and try to sale me something I didn't want. When I got there Stephanie Dewey ask me what I was looking for I told her the car I wanted and she went out of her way to make me happy. Even finance was great, I told Mr. Williams what I could afford to pay there was no pressure my payments are what I wanted and I am happy in my new car. More

I would recommend this dealership. Went in on a Saturday morning, certainly considering buying a car but not in a bind to get one right away. I had registered under the Navy Federal program, so I had recei morning, certainly considering buying a car but not in a bind to get one right away. I had registered under the Navy Federal program, so I had received emails from about a half-dozen dealerships in the area. I have never owned a Honda, so I didn't have any particular loyalties to any dealership. I figured I would start at the closest dealership and work my way out, if necessary. Travis Jenkins had contacted me over the phone once I submitted my email inquiry. He left a short message. When I called back, he was quite friendly and I said that I planned to be in on a Saturday morning for a test drive. Saturdays are obviously the busiest day at the dealership, but Travis didn't seem at all put out when we arrived with our two small children in tow. What I liked about him is that he was thorough, while being relatively expedient. I test drove the car, he answered all of my questions and seemed to be very knowledgeable about the features. We only haggled slightly on my trade in (I ended up getting $8 more than KBB's average trade for a good condition car). I don't think i got an "amazing" deal on the purchase, but I think I got a fair trade value, and a good price on the new car. And Travis was working like mad to get all of the paperwork done quickly to get us out the door with our new Honda. I would recommend the dealership but probably especially recommend Travis Jenkins as a salesman. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and probably most important in my book--wasn't pushy.

I purchased my vehicle from Honda of Bowie ten years ago, and I wasn't impressed with the dealership then. During the years I have owned my Honda, I have taken it to this dealership for service twice. Both t and I wasn't impressed with the dealership then. During the years I have owned my Honda, I have taken it to this dealership for service twice. Both times they managed to annoy me - one time they broke my key and blamed me for the broken key; the second time a part wasn't in stock and I was stuck waiting several days for a repair without a loaner car. Honda of Bowie was having a sale, so I went to see. According to their website, the vehicle I was looking for wasn't in stock, but I was hoping that the sales associates could give me a feel for the rest of the vehicle, just not in my chosen trim level. John greeted me and I told him what I was after. He didn't seem to know what I was talking about. He then left and came back and said that no he didn't have anything like that in stock, and he didn't know when he would be getting anything like that. I asked him for his card - he said he was so new that he didn't have a card. He grabbed a piece of paper and wrote his information down. More

If I would recommend Honda of Bowie to someone, I would do it because RT Yancey works there. We were interested in buying a 2013 Honda CRV and shopped around several dealerships in MD before we arrived at do it because RT Yancey works there. We were interested in buying a 2013 Honda CRV and shopped around several dealerships in MD before we arrived at the Honda of Bowie. RT Yancey offered us the cheapest deal as compared to other dealerships and we were so impressed by his service that we ended up adding a rear spoiler and moon roof visor to our CRV. If you're planning to buy a car, just go to RT Yancey at the Honda of Bowie and you won't be disappointed. More

I went to Honda of Bowie because of the Costco car sales program. Allen Weber was the person that Costco put me in touch with. He was very nice and friendly. Before the test drive Allen explained how everyt program. Allen Weber was the person that Costco put me in touch with. He was very nice and friendly. Before the test drive Allen explained how everything worked on the car, including all the great gadgets that this car had it. After that I was quoted Costco price which I was not to impressed with. I told Allen that I would get in touch with him and counter offer via email. I did few days later. Allen counter offered and give me a great deal. I received a detailed email with an invoice: my trade in, car price, tax, processing fee and my "out at the door price." I also wanted a color they did not have. Allen told me he could have it before end of the week. He actually had it ready for me two days later. I went to pick it up and it was exactly what I requested. Whole thing took hour and the half and I was out at the door with my new car:) thank you Allen ! I also forgot to get everything out of my trade in vehicle, Allen called me and let me know that he had it and he will keep it for me until I can come to pick it up. I also went to their service department a few months earlier. It was a great experience; the price for service was 50% less that College Park Honda was asking and service was done in less time than I was originally told. I will be back. More

Patrick has made my experience with this dealership an overall nightmare. A check was to be over nighted for a pay off & to my former finance compay and was not. A month later I am being informed that it overall nightmare. A check was to be over nighted for a pay off & to my former finance compay and was not. A month later I am being informed that it has not been paid. I contacted Patrick, he was very nonchalant about the incident & said he would look into it. Did not provide any acknowledgement of the issue by apologizing. I followed up with him the next day, & left a voicemail. Patrick returned the call & stated, "Hi, I received your voicemail & the check is in the mail." He didn't sound to confident so I inquired do you know what your referring to? Once I started restating my issue he then apologized for confusion & said that he just needs to get the address again to the finance company. (Which i already provided a month ago) He stated they should receive it by Monday. I asked why can't it be over nighted just as it was promised to me a month ago? He then got defensive & stated it was my fault that the check was not sent out because of verification information. I informed him its not my fault, I've spoke to the new finance company and received my welcome letter. This was all new news to me. Not to mention that interest can accrue with the old fonance company, when I thought this was taken care of! He was rude and lacked customer service skills! To tell a consumer who did not even know about the situation something is there fault, truly speaks volumes for this finance Manager! It was really an unfortunate experience. Once I requested the managers number, he left me on hold for a long time & came back and stated he could Fed X it! More

Myishia Pruitt and Travis Jenkins (our prime contcats) were great to work with. They answered all of our questions (and we had a lot of them) in making our recent purchase at Honda of Bowie. The negotia were great to work with. They answered all of our questions (and we had a lot of them) in making our recent purchase at Honda of Bowie. The negotiations were very respectfull, pricing on the vehicle we ended up buying, especially since it was honda certified and included future oil changes was fair, and we received a good price for our trade in. While the staff clearly wanted to sell us a vehicle we were not overly pressured to make a purchase that night. Financing was easy and Myishia was EXTREMELY helpfull in working to resolve (much to our satifaction) a couple of follow up items we noted later that needed servicing on the vehicle. To date the service department has been GREAT to work with (thanks Mohammed)and the nighttime service hours make it easy to have work performed at a time that is convenient to us. More

Just bought a 2013 Civic from Honda of Bowie. I worked with Stephanie Dewey who was awesome and made the tedious process of buying a car truly hassle free. I did a lot of online research and comparison sh with Stephanie Dewey who was awesome and made the tedious process of buying a car truly hassle free. I did a lot of online research and comparison shopping and Honda of Bowie gave me great price, upfront via email. I had several dealerships refuse to give me a price online. I really appreciated the upfront approach and Stephanie's quick communications and out of the ordinary customer service. More
