Obviously, dealerships aren’t the best, they mark up the price and some people call them stealerships. I did not have this experience here at all! Omar was a very great salesman and he worked with his manag price and some people call them stealerships. I did not have this experience here at all! Omar was a very great salesman and he worked with his manager to get me a great deal on a 2021 Odyssey, and he was flawless through the entire job. I could not have asked for a better salesman. His dealership is also a great one. The only problem I had really is that the roads around the dealer were very dangerous and cars really did not care, therefore I did not teat drive the car that far away, but this is out of the dealership’s control. Regardless, excellent dealer, excellent salesman, I’d give this as much stars as I could if there were more than five. More
We came for a standard maintenance/recall and We came for a standard maintenance/recall and inspection. The inspection failed because it was done after the maintenance (issue 1). They replaced We came for a standard maintenance/recall and inspection. The inspection failed because it was done after the maintenance (issue 1). They replaced the fuel pump and updated the software which deleted the history of the emissions (2019 car - 2 years old). We were not told it failed (issue 2) and left for a week. When we tried to do our registration, it said we had not inspection done. We called this morning and your team told us to come down, but didn’t tell us that we needed to have driven unknown miles or that I could check if the systems were ready at home, per the article you sent me from the manual (issue 3). I spent 3 hours this morning at your location and you could not get a 2 year old car under warranty to pass inspection (issue 4). I have spent hours of my time dealing with this and have been met with mostly excuses and empty apologies. I am left unsatisfied and no longer wish to continue a relationship with this dealership.

I did buy a Honda Accord, which has a warranty and certificate car just last week. Before buying this car, I was told " this car has a warranty, nothing going to happen". After just one day, the car s certificate car just last week. Before buying this car, I was told " this car has a warranty, nothing going to happen". After just one day, the car stopped working. I took the car to the Honda service. They told me it was going to be ready in one day, however 10 days passed, and the car is not ready. They helped before buying car but when I have a problem, they never ever helped. I did attach the problem about car, which has WARRANTY AND CERTIFICATE CAR. After that, they offered me a new car, of course new car is more expensive, but I said OK. The problem is I put $5000 down payment for previous car and one your manager Mr. Dino told me this money has gone, meaning is I paid $5000 for nothing. Mr. Dino is no even try to help us. He is unprofessional, not kind and friendly person. He never cares customer satisfaction, just cares to make profit. I have never ever seen managers like him. DO NOT GO TO HONDA HOUSTON GILLMAN. More

I just purchased my third vehicle at Gillman Honda in the last 3 years so I should know these people real good. I had the pleasure of buying my second vehicle from Salem Hafez and Dino Varcados. It was a ple last 3 years so I should know these people real good. I had the pleasure of buying my second vehicle from Salem Hafez and Dino Varcados. It was a pleasure to deal with them both.

I have been a Honda person since having a Honda Accord over 27 years ago. I was referred to Sal Ghazi of Gilman Honda. I have NEVER had the level of courtesy, professionalism, and frankly service as I had over 27 years ago. I was referred to Sal Ghazi of Gilman Honda. I have NEVER had the level of courtesy, professionalism, and frankly service as I had with Sal. When I mean service, we were super-serviced by Sal. He guided me through the process and checked on me. He even showed me how to use the new features on a 2020 Honda Civic. (To the point of hooking my Bluetooth phone up to my new car.) Sal Ghazi sold me on Gillman Honda Houston, TX 77099 now and in the future. BTW, everyone was masked, and hand sanitizers were easily available. Gillman is taking C-19 seriously. More
I scheduled an online appointment Friday 11/27/2020 9:30 am. When I’d arrived, George looked up my online job request and handed me a work or job order request form to fill out. After completing and confirm am. When I’d arrived, George looked up my online job request and handed me a work or job order request form to fill out. After completing and confirming the work, George said Miguel would assist me. As I was explaining to Miguel about my online oil change coupon and alignment coupon, I’d found. George interrupted me and said I had an code 6 error on my differential. (by changing the subject which he startled me and made me wonder if this needed to be take care of) All of a sudden, I had another problem and extra service which I didn’t need. I mentioned “I didn’t list it on my online job request” and both press me to use their 10% that they have online that I rejected because I just purchased my Honda Pilot last year June 2019 as they can see this in my car history on the computer. As I explained to George, why is this needing to be done? Is this differential done yearly? After questioning George, an awkward silence began. (Thinking to myself, this was a sales tactic? Yes, A hard sell “con artist” push my bill up to $200 from $30. Unless, there was some reason, like a recall or my vehicle was older. Yes, They planted this seed in my head to “worry” and “to purchase” while I wait. Thinking to myself, Why would I want to pay for this? when I know, I had a oil change code and didn’t have any other error code. I thought to myself, maybe he didn’t know that I knew much about cars or even know what a car differential was which I did take an auto shop course for 2 semester. George being a trickster will he add another sale on my bill, Is this a game? In believing a work coordinator, “Trust me”, this what you need “sale pitch” but I’m not a certified mechanic expert). As they both stated 10% will be applied if the bill was over $200, as they confirmed. I moved forward and agreed to have the vehicle checked out. I stated, “it will not be over $200”. Miguel offer for me to use the car shuttle within a 10 miles radius due to the 3 1/2 hour service and I said, “I will considering it but rather wait”. As George seem to be the lead interviewer, I told Miguel I will sit at the lobby as they seem to be at a stand still with no additional response. A quick 10 mins conversation, I guess they kept it short for a reason maybe hoping I will forget or consider what was said. Simply, I wanted to use my online coupon from Mike Smith Honda Beaumont (Synthetic oil change $29.95 & alignment $59, exp. Nov.30th). They should have honor and moved on but instead they press to use their Gilman Honda service special coupon. [On another previous occasion , Gilman Honda Fort Bend accepted my John Eagle Honda alignment service special coupon deal I’d found and used it around the end of Feb. or Mar. 2020]. Although Miguel persisted that I use their online oil with tire balance and rotation which I’d agreed to have the car checked out first since I needed a tire rotation & balance prior to doing my alignment (which I should have it done free at Discount Tire since I purchased an extended Rotation & Balance lifetime warranty for my tires replacement). They both knew I had to move forward in having the car checked out and to let me know what is needed since I was there. (Gilman Houston has oil & tire rotation and balance with inspection special service $59.95 & and the 10% off services over $200, I knew alignment would range approximately $100 if there wasn’t any service coupon) After an long 2:15 wait, the Cashier, Javier thinking I left the shop called my phone to prepay the oil, tire rotation and balance & alignment, a $210 total bill with an 10% discounted and recommend to change out the air filter and a/c filter too. After I complained about the work done that George or Miguel must of had added the alignment to my bill and continue the entire work order without my consent or confirmation. I questioned Javier, Is this how they do business? I told George and Javier to check out my vehicle and advise me prior, not during payment. Alignment job was immediately canceled & dropped and rotation & balance which I shouldn’t have paid. 3 hours later, I left with the disappointment about the alignment and tire rotation & balance, I still wonder, what was the code 6 differential about, an urgency George mentioned, I guess that it was a non emergency. In the end, I guess Miguel was out to lunch & no where in sight. George stepped in to handle my payment. I did say anything to him, Knowing they had messed up because he mentioned about the bad customer service and customer satisfaction email that I will receive in a few days. Because of the incorrect handling or “communication”, They brought this on to themselves scratching for every sales and dollars. They could of honor the other dealerships special service coupon but they wanted to use their own. As I drove away, a bit upset and I’d noticing there wasn’t any pull in my steering from the tires after they rotated & balance. I was glad, I wouldn’t need to pay for an alignment (I believe in safety first, ensuring myself the vehicle is working properly). Which tells me, Gilman Honda customer work service representative or the mechanic could of tested the tire or told me to decline the alignment if I would want to continue the tire rotation. Also the CSR, George or Miguel should have called me before the cashier to ok the work. I didn’t understand why the cashier call me since George handle the payment. I’d decided to look up Gilman Houston dealerships rating at dealerrater.com and understood why, Texas rated 62/70 with Houston 11/11 worst rated and Gilman Fort Bend with 59/70 rating. Also finding the best rating Honda Austin has the top #1 rating based on 5 years (except in 2017) customer satisfaction award in vehicles purchased. Since I bought 2 new “high end” vehicle from Gilman Honda Pilot Ex and Elite on separate occasions and my wife purchase hew new Honda Civic Ex. Prior getting the pilot I didn’t think much of which dealership should I give my business to until now seeing Gilman Honda rating. Sales and service warranty goes hand to hand so don’t buy additional service package when purchasing. With online media shopping and ratings or review, dealerships and any other business should know better not to mess with or how they treat any customers. They may loose a customer loyalty or repeat customers for purchase and ongoing service. Why screw with any customer since the power of online social media is here. I understand that everyone is financially hurting from the pandemic especially small business but is this time not to test customers loyalty. This is not a new low for dealerships, just business. So I say the same with my rating, it’s just good business. Dealing with auto service, my new vehicle warranty has expired. I now can look elsewhere for top vehicle service or a certified Honda shop. If this rating can be separate from the work scheduler and the mechanics rating. I would give the work order scheduler “zero stars” since it’s the people up front making this “bad business sense” which reflects onto the owner dealerships integrity and culture. More
