Ide Honda is a family owned and operated Honda Dealership in Penfield, NY. It all started in 1970, when Dick Ide opened his first dealership in Fairport, NY. In 1973 he added the Honda franchise. A few years later, in 1977, he moved both dealerships to Panorama Trail.
In 1984, Dick's oldest son, Mitch Ide, opened Mitch Ide's Ideal Chevy-Olds-Geo in Geneseo, NY. Along with his wife, Anne, they ran the dealership until selling it in 2000.
In 2007 Mitch took on responsibility for the Honda dealership from his father and has been involved in daily operations. When we say family owned and operated, we mean it. Mitch is the owner, Anne is the CFO, their son, Rich is the VP.

I went to Ide with my 23 year old daughter who wanted to buy a Honda Civic. She did all the talking and dealing with salesman Kent Kroemer who was very nice and easy to deal with. The price was lower than buy a Honda Civic. She did all the talking and dealing with salesman Kent Kroemer who was very nice and easy to deal with. The price was lower than any Honda dealer in Rochester and It was the easiest and BEST car buying experience in my 30 years of buying cars. The free oil changes for life is great! Kent spent 20 minutes after the sale to show her how all the new electronics work and helped her program her phone into the cars Bluetooth system. On our way out the door Rich Ide personaly thank her for buying a car from their dealership. Just a great experience! More

Had I known buying a new car would mean Dick Ide disparaging my credit and reputation with a local bank I would have just kept the vehicle I had! When does it take over a month to submit a payoff to disparaging my credit and reputation with a local bank I would have just kept the vehicle I had! When does it take over a month to submit a payoff to the bank on your trade in? Only when you buy a new vehicle from Dick Ide! How long does it take them to rectify the situation when you bring it to their attention? Days! More

It was mistakenly arranged for a time, that upon arrival, I learned is not typically scheduled. Instead of making me return...I live almost an hour away, Billy Thompson voluntarily stayed past his shift and installed the moldings. He did it with a smile and Linda treated me like a queen. I even explained, that it was ok and I'd return, that it wasn't a big deal. However, Linda said, "We treat you like family here at Dick Ide" and I truly felt like it. Thank you Billy and Linda. I really appreciate you going the extra mile for me so I didn't have to travel so many. More

I purchases two cars from Dick Ide Honda in the past and it seemed natural to shop there again for new car. I dealt with a very nice and knowledgeable salesperson who put a price together for the new car a it seemed natural to shop there again for new car. I dealt with a very nice and knowledgeable salesperson who put a price together for the new car and it seemed reasonable. However, there were fees that seemed strange, like a $45 registration fee for free oil changes and a rewards card that didn't seem to be of any value although they were putting $250 on it at the time of purchase. I couldn't understand why I would need to "register" with the dealership that was selling the car. I didn't understand why I would get a $250 rewards card that could only be spent on the dealership and only a small percentage was allocated for service costs. These things didn't make sense and no one seemed to offer an honest explanation for any of it so I thought it best to check out at least one other Honda dealership in the area. I was offered the exact same car and the same interest rate for financing but no free oil changes or registration fees or rewards cards. The price of the car was less than that offered to me at Dick Ide Honda. I called Dick Ide Honda and asked to speak with the sales manager, hoping that he would be willing to work with me on the price. What a huge mistake!!! Mark McAfee was brutally rude to me and it was embarrassing to be spoken to that way. When I asked about the fees and the difference in the price from Dick Ide to the other dealership, specifically asking if the difference was due to the free oil changes and the rewards card, Mr. McAfee told me that he was in the business to make a profit and if the other dealership offered me that price I should take it. And I did. Not because of the price difference, which in the end was only $840, but because I was treated so poorly by Mr. McAfee. Instead of telling me why I should stick with Dick Ide for my new car purchase even if I had to pay a bit more, he told me to go buy elsewhere. Wow!! I am still stunned by this. More
