Wouldn't tell me the price! Today the Venice Honda general manager refused to quote me a price on a 2012 Honda Pilot! He said if it had too many miles on it for me to buy it, why Today the Venice Honda general manager refused to quote me a price on a 2012 Honda Pilot! He said if it had too many miles on it for me to buy it, why did I need to know the price? I could have told him because I was planning on buying the same car with half the miles at a later date. But I didn't bother. Because, fortunately, prior to that I visited Wilde Honda in Sarasota and they answered every question promptly. Even sent me an email to ask if I had more questions. Now that's a dealership I can respect. More

I got Fleeced!!!! Go over the math on your invoices carefully! They flood you with paperwork to sign off on, about 70 pages, and then you put your signature on paperwo Go over the math on your invoices carefully! They flood you with paperwork to sign off on, about 70 pages, and then you put your signature on paperwork about the price after you are worn out ! It was a very simple transaction of purchase. I am also strong in math, but the figures were manipulated in such a fashion, that it looked correct but was not. They double added an $899 charge, And when I caught it, it was after I paid and was gone. Was shifted from one Person to another, Seeking an explanation, with a waiting game to pull paperwork each time for a week. Then I was told that the individual I Was working with was no longer with the company. This happened three times! Shifted to another “” manager “Who asked for another week to pull paper. Over eight weeks have passed, the figures make absolutely no sense, and with caller ID they put me on hold, don’t connect me with anyone. They do not return messages left . The owner is a corporation, there seems to be no head of the ship. Have taken the issue to the state regulatory commission. More

Poor service department Frustration and disappointment. I purchased my 2018 Odyssey from Venice Honda and that went very well. My salesman was great. But now here we are, Frustration and disappointment. I purchased my 2018 Odyssey from Venice Honda and that went very well. My salesman was great. But now here we are, 3 months later and I've had two chances to use their service center, both to me total disasters. The first I admit was partially my fault. I brought the vehicle in for and oil and filter change without scheduling an appointment (most dealerships I've purchased from usually have an express line for oil changes) and was told, maybe we can get to it, but won't be until after 2:00 PM, this is at 8:45 in the morning. OK, so they were busy, but if you have that much work, I would assume you have more staff available. But the second incident, which totally left me at a loss for words was this past Saturday. I had scheduled an appointment because the window in the drivers side rear door sounded like you were dragging chalk down the chalkboard and would jam going up. Now this is on a 3 month old vehicle, mind you. Brought the car in 15 minutes early of the scheduled time, then sat and waited. 45 minutes later, sitting in the waiting room, I get called out to tell me there is nothing wrong with the door. After showing the repairman what it was doing, he says, OH, it's the window, they told me it was the door that was not working. We can't repair that. I guess I had a perplexed look on my face, so he told me that is an authorized repair and the person who has the "codes", doesn't believe he should work Saturdays, so we can't fix it??????????? WHAT, REALLY????? Are these the nuclear launch codes? Is there no other person at Venice Honda that can be entrusted to authorize a warranty repair? Why, when purchasing the vehicle and being told about there wonderful service department was I not told were open on Saturdays, but not if you need a warranty repair. I suddenly remember a women who was talking with a service manager at the payment desk saying she wouldn't sign the work order and him telling her that the "man is on his boat and I don't know if he will get back to me". I wonder if this is the man with the "codes". How can any dealership today not offer warranty work on a weekend when most working people try to have their repairs done. There is nothing in their advertisements or posted in the service area that says Sorry, no warranty repairs on Saturday, I manager doesn't believe he needs to work or delegate authority to anyone else to make decisions. The argument I received was, well it cost's Venice Honda to do a warranty repair, and they want to keep track of expenses. REALLY, Honda isn't going to reimburse you for the repair for warranty work. I have a difficult time believing that. Enough said, my salesperson was great, Service- not so much. More
