I bought my first Honda Fit from Gary Smith Honda in 2007. I got all of my maintenance done on my car there and did not have any problems with it the entire time I owned it. I recently went in and tra 2007. I got all of my maintenance done on my car there and did not have any problems with it the entire time I owned it. I recently went in and traded my old Fit for a new Fit. I had a limited budget and could not exceed what I was currently paying for my old car. Paul and the financing staff at Gary Smith Honda not only found an option to help me stay within my budget, but actually SAVED me money! I wouldn't have thought it possible when I went in, but I am paying less for my new car per month than I was paying for my old car. So - if you want a great car, great service, and great maintenance to keep your car running problem free, go to this dealership! Honda Fits are awesome and are the ONLY car I will purchase from now on and Gary Smith Honda is my dealer of choice to buy them. More
My family has purchased several cars from this dealership. They are all very friendly there and they personally knew my mom by name. We were out looking at the cars and Gator came out and called m dealership. They are all very friendly there and they personally knew my mom by name. We were out looking at the cars and Gator came out and called my mom's name and said hi and he and the salesman helped us out the entire time. Last time I bought a car, I was at a different Honda dealership because I was out of the area and the car buying process took FOREVER. Yesterday's purchase was very pleasant and speedy. I would definitely recommend this dealership. I will also say, saleswoman Trish at this dealer is an awesome saleswoman. She just happened to be off the day I purchased my car. More
A month long of car shopping, I decided to take a look at Honda. I work at a very large financial institution and those who own a Honda had nothing but good to say how reliable they are! I was greeted immedi Honda. I work at a very large financial institution and those who own a Honda had nothing but good to say how reliable they are! I was greeted immediately and felt very comfortable with my sales person, Irene(Pat was in training with her). I was able to drive the civic, accord, pilot and then the crosstour which I wound up purchasing. I was impressed with the knowledge both knew about each vehicle I drove. I also greatly appreciated the fact that both listened to me and understood my expectations in finding the right vehicle. They took great care with me- I was able to keep the car and drive it a while before making a decision. I had done my research on pricing and Kim worked with us on making a fair and good deal! "Gator" was awesome when it came time to get down to the finance paperwork. He walked us through everything making sure we understood and was receptive to all our questions. From beginning to end, the experience was super! in the past I have always dreaded looking for a new car. However, buying my 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour with Gary Smith honda has changed my mind in knowing if you buy the best product and find a dealer you can trust, it makes all the difference in the world!! I hope I continue to be as pleased as I have been thus far. I am not second guessing myself and feel pretty good that I made an excellent choice with buying and finding a "family" dealership! More
I had a wonderful experience with every aspect of my car purchase. All people involved were friendly, helpful and honest. The process was quick and painless. The sales staff went above and beyond. Ryan spe purchase. All people involved were friendly, helpful and honest. The process was quick and painless. The sales staff went above and beyond. Ryan spent extra time explaining many intricate details about the car as well as setting up the blue tooth. I have recommended Gary Smith Honda to many friends and will shop there again. More
When I bring my car in for servicing or a problem, Latone is always there to greet me when I pull up and knows me by name....that's impressive, especially when I don't have an appointment and she sees many, is always there to greet me when I pull up and knows me by name....that's impressive, especially when I don't have an appointment and she sees many, many people each day and for as often as she sees me. If I'm waiting on the car, Wayne always comes out and speaks to me and lets me know what's being done and about how long the wait will be. If I drop it off to pick up later, Wayne always calls me or my husband to let us know what's wrong and how much it will cost. I really appreciate that! Whether I'm waiting or picking up, Latone always takes the time to go over everything before I pay for services. Everyone I have dealt with at Gary Smith Honda have been extemely helpful and friendly! More
My daughter was in Destin working for the summer and her Honda would not start. She took it to this dealership and the price to fix an ignition switch on a 1992 Honda Accord was quoted at around $500.00 (ma Honda would not start. She took it to this dealership and the price to fix an ignition switch on a 1992 Honda Accord was quoted at around $500.00 (maybe a little less I don't remember exactly). It was around 300 for the switch and 150-200 for labor. Price for the switch on the internet: 32.00 Price if I replaced it: 0. Price to have another repair shop tow it from Gary Smith, buy a more expensive switch and labor to repair it 200. Never having to deal with this Honda dealer and writing a negative review: priceless. The only positive thing I can say is that they did accurately diagnose the problem and didn't charge me for it (although this is a "known problem"). More
I gave an intranet oil change special coupon for $24.95. No mention was made of additional charges. The bill comes and the charge is $25.60 plus $1.54 tax for a total of $27.14. The amount is not fatal to a No mention was made of additional charges. The bill comes and the charge is $25.60 plus $1.54 tax for a total of $27.14. The amount is not fatal to anyone but it is more than advertised; this is WRONG and disappointing to the consumer. Why say it is $24.95 when it isn't! More
I definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a new Honda. I found just the car I wanted and at the price I wanted to pay. My salesman, Marty, was accomodating and professional. He was also v for a new Honda. I found just the car I wanted and at the price I wanted to pay. My salesman, Marty, was accomodating and professional. He was also very patient! We had the deal finished and were ready to sign the paperwork when I changed my mind about the color! Marty didn't even blink. He and the staff at Gary Smith graciously and diligently worked to get the color I wanted. I am very happy with my new Honda Pilot. I plan to come back to Gary Smith in the future when I am ready for a new car. More
My salesman, Marty Buchman, has to be the TOP SALESMAN since I bought my first car from my Father back in 1980. Marty and Gary Smith Honda were wonderful in every aspect from testing driving the Pilot to since I bought my first car from my Father back in 1980. Marty and Gary Smith Honda were wonderful in every aspect from testing driving the Pilot to signing on the dotted line November 26, 2010! I have and will continue to refer my family, my friends and business associates to Marty as he gave of himself and represented Gary Smith to the nth degree in salesmanship!!!!! Marty took the time to show us the car and even drove to my house to make sure all my paperwork was properly completed. In this day and age when customer service seems to be a dying art, it is refreshing to find people like Marty and Gary Smith Honda to excel and treat me and my husband, Joe, as valued customers. Sadly my Father died in 1996 but I know he would have said "Good Job Marty" and "Way to go Gary Smith Honda"!!! More
Was skeptical about going to this dealership after reading the reviews here while I was researching the Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester. Test drove both and like them very much. I went with the 2010 Ho reading the reviews here while I was researching the Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester. Test drove both and like them very much. I went with the 2010 Honda CR-V EX-L w/NAVI as thy beat Subaru by a long shot on price. They had quoted me an internet price on an EX-L without Navi, but when I test drove the one with the NAVI, and with other features on interior, mats etc. They still gave me an outstanding price with 0.9 financing for 5 years. I was flabbergasted as I had a preapproved Credit Union loan at 3.7%. Gator did the financial paperwork and tried to sell me extras, but he treated me with respect and professionalism. I would trust this dealer with everyone as they are truely a great Honda Dealer!! More
