I bought a car with Steve in July of 2012 and was more than happy with my experience with him and the dealership. He was very friendly and enjoyable to work with. I unfortunately got into a car accident that totaled my car and was so satisfied working with Steve and the dealership that I went back to Steve for another car purchase. If down the line I need a new car I will definitely call Steve. More

Wilde Honda exceeded my expectations for buying a new car. Each person I spoke with from Flynt, a sales manager, Steve Himmel who was my sales representative and Steve at finance - dealt with me most pro car. Each person I spoke with from Flynt, a sales manager, Steve Himmel who was my sales representative and Steve at finance - dealt with me most professionally with attention to my needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Wilde Honda and Steve Himmel's services for a good car buying experience. This dealership is a cut above the rest - I drove further than I could have as there is a Honda dealership much closer but it was well worth it for a quality experience. More

My daughter came to me from out of town looking to purchase a dependable car, but with less than perfect credit. My wife and I know several car dealers in the area, but the first one we recommended wa purchase a dependable car, but with less than perfect credit. My wife and I know several car dealers in the area, but the first one we recommended was Wilde Honda in Sarasota. Both my wife and I have both purchased new vehicles there in the past. The sales representative that I recommended was Diego Barona, who has always done an excellent job or us. After talking to Diego and looking at the used cars that were available, as a new car purchase was not possible, Diego started running the finances through Wilde's loan personnel, but the initial results did not look promising. Meanwhile, we contacted other dealerships and car lots in the area in order to maximize our efforts as we only had 2 days to close a deal. After the first 1 1/2 days of nothing positive, we were beginning to give up hope that we would be able to find anything in the area that met both her transportation and financial requirements. While having a late lunch in Sarasota, I received a phone call from Diego informing me that he and the financing staff at Wilde Honda was able to find the financing that we desired at a very reasonable rate and to come on down. When we arrived back at the dealership, we found Diego waiting for us out front next to the 2008 Sebring Touring Sedan that my daughter wanted. While my daughter and I were just about to give up trying to find the right car and financing in Sarasota, Wilde Honda’s support staff never gave up. Their sales and financing staff stuck to it and came through with both the right financing at a very reasonable rate and an excellent car. The Sebring was in excellent condition both inside and out and ran great. I tip my hat to the support and sales staff at Wilde Honda. They have earned both my admiration and respect, once again, for a job well done. From the sales manager to the financing personnel and the sales personnel, they worked as a well-oiled machine, with a very personal touch added. If you are looking for an honest deal with people work hard to meet your needs, I strongly recommend asking for Diego Barona at Wilde Honda and you too can see the difference that they make. You will be glad you did! More

I explained just what I was looking for in a new car and Diego guided me through the process. Not once did I ever feel "bombarded", rushed or taken advantage of because I'm a woman! Diego was very patient, professional and sincere in helping me find the right car, with all the accessories I was wanting, at a price I could afford. I have recommended Diego to several of my friends in the past and will continue to do so. He is extremely honest and genuine, only wanting the best for his customers, which is very refreshing! Thank you so much, Diego...you are very special! More
