Anyway, I felt SO comfortable here, and working with Eric was a breeze. He is so friendly and listened to me and my needs. I'm all over the place naturally and had lots of questions but he never made me feel like I was bothersome. He is responsive and even came in on his day off to test drive cars with me. I know that's just part of the gig but even if I had to come in on my day off I might seem slightly disappointed. Not Eric, he's a true professional and I'm so glad my internet inquiry turned out to having him as my salesperson. My past experience of buying a car at a different dealership included spending hours and hours waiting and test driving cars that I didn't even want but the dealer JUST KNEW I would fall in love with (nope!) I maybe spent a total of 2 hours at Wilde between test driving and chatting the first day and coming in to commit and do paperwork the next day. Easy peasy. I hope I don't have to go back for a while because I LOVE my new (well Certified Used) 2016 Honda Civic, but when I do I will definitely come back to Wilde Honda and I will be asking, no demanding, to work with Eric. Thank you! More

We highly recommend Michael Malmsbury I would like to take a moment and highly recommend Michael. We came in last week to trade in our leased vehicle and got a brand new 2019 Civic Sport I would like to take a moment and highly recommend Michael. We came in last week to trade in our leased vehicle and got a brand new 2019 Civic Sport Touring Edition. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michael. He did not jerk us around and try to rip us off, like many other dealers do. He worked with us and was professional to the highest extent. He was very polite and even took the time to explain the vehicle and all of its technology, which he did not have to do. Based on other experiences I have had at Honda Dealerships, I would highly recommend Wilde Honda and I would absolutely recommend Michael. Thank you so much, Michael! You made our experience a pleasant and smooth process. More

I found the truck I wanted online, and they had it waiting up front for me when I arrived, ready for a test drive. They allowed for a lengthy test drive. They were very patient, friendly, timely, and resourceful. Would definitely recommend! More

From Sales associate Martha Calero to out the door Sales Associate Martha Calero listened to our must haves & preferences and laid out the available options. Wilde has MANY options so the decision was Sales Associate Martha Calero listened to our must haves & preferences and laid out the available options. Wilde has MANY options so the decision was made that day. We had done some research and visited another brand but the Honda quality exceeded our expectation and so did the staff we met in the process, including the Business Manager, Mike Mahlum & Delivery Specialist, Lindsey Mitchell. Their patience was truly appreciated! More
