General Sales Manager
Honda of Columbia

Lexington, SC 29072
I was born and raised right here in Columbia, South Carolina, and am proud to call Lexington home today. My journey in the automotive industry began in 2002, and over the last two decades, I have developed a true passion for selling the Honda product—a brand known for its exceptional quality, safety, and reliability. Whether you are buying your first car, upgrading your family vehicle, or exploring your financing options, I am dedicated to providing a transparent, stress-free, and personalized experience. I take pride in helping our local community and am always happy to assist with any of your automotive needs. When I’m not at the dealership, I spend my time with my wife and better half, Rebecca, raising our three active boys. As an outdoor enthusiast, you can usually find me out on the water fishing and boating, or enjoying all types of sports with my family.

Nice, helpful, not pushy, great cars We've bought three cars from Chris Burns since 2003, so when we found out he was one of the head sales guys at Honda of Columbia, we knew we wanted to We've bought three cars from Chris Burns since 2003, so when we found out he was one of the head sales guys at Honda of Columbia, we knew we wanted to give that dealership a shot. I contacted him via email first. He remembered me and asked about the family, and he was straight-up about their pricing and stuff, without a bunch of "come in and we can talk" sort of mess. When we got there, Allen Elmore was the sales associate we worked with. He was nice and not pushy, showed me our options, and took me on a test drive. The next day we worked out a deal that we were happy with very easily (on the EX instead of the LX we'd driven the day before). Steve Conti in the finance department was good to work with as well. I know how buying new cars goes now (this is my fourth since 2003); you usually have a big headache at the end of the day, and no matter what you try, the dealer is going to make their money one way or another. But this experience was very satisfying, and we got a great car ('17 Civic EX) at a good price, at 0% for 60 months with a beat-up trade-in. We'll definitely be heading back to these guys next time we're shopping. More

RUN AWAY! Purchased my car here in May and experienced exceptional customer service. Once I informed the salesman I lived in another state, they reassured me th Purchased my car here in May and experienced exceptional customer service. Once I informed the salesman I lived in another state, they reassured me that I wouldn't have any problems with taking care of maintenance for my car under the 30K miles warranty. This was a TOTAL LIE! I took my car for the first servicing on 9/19, called the dealership to let them know I was experiencing difficulty at my local Honda dealership in DC (they could not see that I had purchased the Car Car Plan). The finance guy had a very nasty attitude as if I was a burden; when in fact HE was the one who told me I wouldn't have any issues (they'll tell you anything to get the sale). I was told to pay out of pocket for the cost and the dealership would reimburse me as well as find a local dealer in the area who accepted the JAA Warranty. I sent an e-mail and receipt showing I paid and asked for a follow-up as soon as possible. Days passed and I received no follow-up or any communication from the dealership. I decided to call the General Sales Manager and spoke with him. Nice guy over the phone, reassured me this had to be a hiccup with the finance guy because he's usually 100% for customer service. The finance guy called 5 mins after getting off of the phone with the General Sales Manager and stated he was in contact with the Rep in my area and would have information for me soon. Days passed again......nothing. I finally called the General Sales Manager again a week and one day following the initial call with the problem. He did not answer and I left a voicemail. The next day I received a call from the JAA Rep which was bittersweet. 1. Why didn't the finance guy or General Sales Manager follow-up to let me know my information was going to be passed over after telling me they would get back with me? 2. This is awful customer service. It's amazing to see how these guys were when selling me my vehicle verses how they are when there's a problem. AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMMUNICATION! More

Positive experience Adrian make sure he knew exactly what I want in a car at the price I could afford. Chris Burns searched to find the car with the accesories I wanted. Adrian make sure he knew exactly what I want in a car at the price I could afford. Chris Burns searched to find the car with the accesories I wanted. When the car arrived, Adrian went over all the features of the new car, making sure I understood how to use all the bells and whistles. Then, Steve Conti gave me the best warranty for the miles I put on a car. Overall, a positive experience with the Honda of Columbia people. Thank you so much. Looking forward to returning with all maintenance needs and seeing all of you again for a long time. More
