Holman Honda of Ft. Lauderdale

Before I purchased my new car, I did my "homework" to find the best deal. Out of all the dealerships I went to and also got quotes from online, HOLMAN Honda offered the lowest Out The Door price. Their f find the best deal. Out of all the dealerships I went to and also got quotes from online, HOLMAN Honda offered the lowest Out The Door price. Their first response to my email was a phone call, in which I was accidentally misquoted for the car. The salesman, Chris D'Amico, called me back with the correct quote which was a bit higher (but still the best deal), and said Greg Williams (the sales mgr.) had a "surprise" waiting for me at the dealership to make up for the mistake. I have to admit, although I wanted and needed a new car, I had much trepidation as I was expecting the typical pushy salesperson of the past. I couldn't have been more wrong! My salesperson, Chris, was not pushy in the least. Quite the opposite. He made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Plus he has a charming personality, that aside from the good deal, made me WANT to purchase a car from this young man! My mind was made up on the Honda Civic EX. The financial transaction went very smoothly. Every piece of paper that I signed was explained to me and again, I felt quite comfortable knowing there weren't any "hidden" fees. (As another dealership had warned me, the price sounded too good to be true.) All in all I went away with my new car knowing I got a great deal, AND had a pleasurable experience. It was actually fun buying my new car, as it should be! I couldn't be more pleased in every aspect, which includes my new Civic EX (which rides beautifully, by the way). Oh, and my surprise? I could pick out something that I wanted from the gift shop. I ended up with a very nice gift indeed... the rubber trunk tray which was worth over $100. I am a happy customer and obviously highly recommend this dealership!! More

This is my ninth straight Honda purchase. I did some research online and saw that American Honda was offering very low finance rates. So I decided this would be a good time to buy another new Honda. I research online and saw that American Honda was offering very low finance rates. So I decided this would be a good time to buy another new Honda. I made several inquiries and phone calls to various Honda dealers and David Abraham at Holman Honda sounded the most reasonable and intelligent of all the people I spoke with. Last week, I went to see David and look at some of the vehicles and to have my 2007 Honda appraised. I got a second appraisal from Carmax which was higher than the dealer's offer, which the dealer then happily matched. I had another conversation with David exploring all of my options on both Accords and CR-V's and with his guidance settled on a new 2011 CR-V SE. Drove it home today and I am extremely happy with my experience. More

We decided to buy a 2010 Honda Accord LX after some research. I used internet quotes to avoid haggling with dealers. I picked this dealer as his dealer rating was 4.3. and he offered lowest OTD quote a research. I used internet quotes to avoid haggling with dealers. I picked this dealer as his dealer rating was 4.3. and he offered lowest OTD quote and the salesperson said they have the color I wanted (Black and Tan interior). he said he has black and tan interior and Silver and Black interior. Even though the dealership was 80 miles south of where I live. I setup an appointment the next day considering sales persons availability and called again before we went there again. I took my entire family as We decided to buy (need some one to drive back). Mr. Larson greeted us. We said we wanted to take a look at both the cars. He said they are missing the black and tan. He said the dealership might have sold it but still he has the black and tan in Lx-P. We asked him to check the price. He checked with the mgr and quoted $1700 over what he quoted for LX. We thought for a while and decided to buy a Silver as it was neutral color (my second choice). He said he has a bad news that the price went up and he can't honor the price he quoted and confirmed earlier by email. So, I went out and made a call to another dealer who had a diff color but promised me he can sell the car at much lesser price than what Holman offered. When I was about to leave, he said his manager made a mistake and apologized and he will honor the OTD price he quoted. We signed off the amount we both agreed since we dont want to drive another hour to another dealer to save couple hundred dollars and start the process all over again. My wife applied for the Honda finance and approved. They called her to the finance lady's office to sign the papers. The finance people wanted us to buy Honda care extended warranty for &1800. we said we need couple days to think. They said they will send the papers by mail. When I received the papers I found amount financed was about $86 more than OTD price. When I called the sales person for the difference, he said he does not know about I should talk to finance. I made many calls to finance and they never called me back. When I called the sales person again, he said why $86 is an issue for since they offered a finance. When I pressed him that he explain why the actual OTD price is more than what we agreed and signed, he said he will get back me later as he was busy. Later he called and told it's document fee and it does not go to the dealer. But I reminded him we agreed on Out The door price whcih included all the fee paid to various agencies. he said he will call back again. Later he called again, and told because we took the finance, the American Honda charged a Lien fee for documentation. Then he said, my wife signed the back so, it's her mistake she did not read every number on the page. My wife said she signed a bunch of papers but the first page showed the amount we agreed. This did not sound right to me. I wanted to get it straight and called American Honda, they said they dont charge any such fee and get a better explanation from dealer. I was tired of calling them many times and sent mails. But there are no responses. The bottom line is I did not even haggle for even one dollar less than what he quoted to me earlier in the email. I honored and respected him but I did not get the same back. I don't like the fact that we agree on some OTD price and then they sneak up something without disclosing it. I could have given this businees to another dealer who was nicer to us and who appreciates our business that too at a lower price I eventually paid. We are planning to buy a odyssey in next couple of months. Now we know which one to avoid. I want to pass on my experience to all so they consider this in their research. More

Steven and Greg were very accommodating as soon as a walked into the showroom. They took the time to answer all my questions about the cars I was trading in and the new cars I wanted to purchase. They e walked into the showroom. They took the time to answer all my questions about the cars I was trading in and the new cars I wanted to purchase. They educated me about the policy of returning cars from the lease and what I had to do to purchase a new vehicle that I could afford. They were very friendly and patient with all my needs. I walked out of there feeling like a million dollars and I purchased the car I came in for with in my price range. I would highly recommend Steven and Greg to anyone who is interested in purchasing a new Honda vehicle. I will definately buy another car from them in the future. More

We drove up as total strangers and were warmly greeted by Mr. Adderly. We described what we wanted in a car and her proceeded to satisfy our requirements. The features we wanted were included (light color, Mr. Adderly. We described what we wanted in a car and her proceeded to satisfy our requirements. The features we wanted were included (light color, roomy and flexible interior); the ones we did not want were excluded without any disagreement. The lease was arranged and the car ready for pickup the following day. A very productive experience. We had already looked at two other non-Honda dealerships, so there was information for comparison.

I went to this dealership for a new car since I had previous experience there with getting my previous Honda worked on in their shop. I was apprehensive about buying a car, as it is a stressful experi previous experience there with getting my previous Honda worked on in their shop. I was apprehensive about buying a car, as it is a stressful experience. When I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly greeter who introduced me to Jack Manin. He listened to my needs, figured out what is my best fit car (Civic) and he had me sit in a new Civic while explaining all the safety features and extras. When it came time to start test driving, Jack took extra time to point out all the Civics on the lot, explaining the differences between the models from the most basic up to the fully loaded. Once I determined which model I liked the best, we found the right color and immediately got ready for a test drive. Before we even got out of the lot, Jack (who accomodated 2 of my friends joining along) gave me a full tutorial on every feature in the car. We played with the seating, adjusted the mirrors and he took alot of time to familiarize me with the navigation system. We probably spent 10 minutes sitting in the car playing with the features, including the sunroof. He answered every one of our questions, and since there were 3 of us, there were alot of questions! Even after I was fairly certain I test drove the car I wanted to purchase, he did take the time to let me test drive a used Civic. When it came time to start negotiating and setting up financing, he patiently went through all the paperwork and made sure that financing came through for me. The business office worked with my finances and I left that day in a brand new car. They went above and beyond on a holiday weekend to make sure I was in that car and beyond happy with my purchase. They came to the table ready to make a deal that was satisfactory to both of us, and I left with a feeling that I had made the right choice! Jack called the next day to see how the car was, and if I was enjoying it and we probably spent 5 minutes on the phone, with me gushing how much I loved the car, and thanking him for such a great, unstressful experience! I have recommended all my friends and family to this dealership if they wish to purchase a great new (or used) Honda! More

After spending $700. for service repairs, I still have the same problems with my vehicle; oil leaks and temperature gauge rising. No one checked their work nor called to inform me that they saw additiona the same problems with my vehicle; oil leaks and temperature gauge rising. No one checked their work nor called to inform me that they saw additional problems with my vehicle. Just came in after being told all repairs were made, paid $700.00 and went home. All 3 above employees told me my vehicle was old, had a lot of miles on it and "it's like opening up a can of worms." I bargained for a price of $700. to get my vehicle fixed. I never even received a courtesy call advising that I still had leaks and heat temperature problems. A new fan motor, 0 ring and another seal was replaced. $700.00 later and the day after supposed service repairs and my car leaks oil worst than before. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put a piece of card board down and see that a vehicle still leaks oil. I'm a 60 year old woman with common sense. Something Holman Honda doesn't have nor care to have. Each rep. of Holman Honda told me as much as "TOUGH LUCK LADY". More

I bought a used 2004 Civic with only 30K miles from Junior Bergel at Holman Honda . He was a great salesman and the deal went very smoothly, no pressure to buy. Of course we went back and forth on th Junior Bergel at Holman Honda . He was a great salesman and the deal went very smoothly, no pressure to buy. Of course we went back and forth on the price, but 2 hours later, I got the car at the price I wanted to pay. Of course the lady at Finance Dept tried to talk me into buying the 'extended warranty' for like an extra $800. I laughed in her face. I told her my last Civic (1998 with 180K miles) was like a TIMEX watch with just basic maintenance (oil changes, filters, spark plugs,....etc). If you are looking to buy a used car.....then you need to talk to: Junior Bergel in used cars More
