2014 Accord Sport - couldn't be happier Hands down the BEST car buying experience I have ever had. 90% of my deal was structured online & VIA telephone (I'm always traveling and my schedule Hands down the BEST car buying experience I have ever had. 90% of my deal was structured online & VIA telephone (I'm always traveling and my schedule is tight) and on the day I was supposed to go in in close the deal, ended up having to travel out of town that day too, so my schedule became very crowded. Joe Sabb was extremely patient, and a consummate professional throughout the entire process. I was amazed at his interaction and engaging demeanor, not only with me, but with his past customers as well (in service dept, and returning to buy another car). Due to my last minute schedule change, I left on Friday with a promise to be back on Tuesday to finish everything up - when I arrived on Tuesday, they had the original car ready to go (I changed my mind and went with the Obsidian Blue Accord & not the Hematite Green one) and they were, again, very accommodating. They had me in & out of the dealership in less than 2hrs, and that is with traveling off lot to find the blue one, and prepping it. I've owned more cars than I care to admit, but this is my first Honda & my first experience with Brandon Honda - based on this experience, I can guarantee you that it will not be my last, with either. Joe Sabb & Team Brandon Honda - simply stated, THANK YOU for exceeding my expectations of what a car salesperson & dealer is & should be. You are the very definition of excellence. More

He is extremely knowledgeable on the product, current pricing/offers, and everything Honda. He has a great approach to sales and really treats people like he would want to be, with no high pressure sales tactics, just a desire to make the customer happy. Also, I asked John about getting the windows tinted, and he had Eric Lewis follow up with me the next morning who was also extremely helpful. He was great in helping us with service for my wife's car we bought a year and a half ago. More

Ron was ver My first car purchasing experience went great with the salesmen at Brandon Honda. Specifically with the Internet Sales Manager Ron Wright. Ron was very pleasant and helped us through the purchasing process with ease. In fact, he even bought us breakfast. The prices were great at this dealership and the managers were very helpful when negotiating prices. The finance office was quick and easy with their associate Mike and we were out in 20 minutes. Overall, if your looking for a new Honda in the Tampa area go see Ron and the whole Brandon Honda team, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again guys! Sincerely, Andrew Setrin More

From the very beginning Kevin maintained a very professional demeanor and truly gave service with a smile. I have been through the car buying experience a handful of times and this was by far the best and more importantly to me the simplest. They gave us such a good deal we stopped looking and bought our 1st and NEW SUV!! More

I knew going in that I had negative equity in my car and he knew the ins and outs of what would be the best deal with that in mind. He was very knowledgeable about the car and explained everything patiently to this technology challenged woman. I would definitely buy another car from him and refer friends to him. My only negative was the financing person. When I declined the extended warranty/service plan I was met with an incredulous WHAT? You don't want a warranty on your car? Again I declined and again instead of moving on told me the bank needed a reason why I declined. Are you kidding me? He was a jerk. More

A Pleasure It's hard to believe that buying a car could be anything but major hassle, but Ron Wright, at Brandon Honda, turned the usual unpleasant event into a It's hard to believe that buying a car could be anything but major hassle, but Ron Wright, at Brandon Honda, turned the usual unpleasant event into a buying experience that was a pleasure. I went to all the major car dealerships looking at cars for our daughter. When we narrowed the field down to the Honda Fit, Ron was contacted. I spoke with Ron several times over a three week period. He was always professional and never pushy. I found him to be genuine and very knowledgeable. He is a tough negotiator, but we reached a deal that worked for both of us and we feel good about our purchase. I stopped by the dealership on my way home from work to finalize the agreement. Sensing that I might be a little hungry, Ron offered to buy a sandwich for me. My wife and I had excellent rapport with everyone of the staff members we dealt with. That is a refreshing experience, since most of the time it takes a while to get over the car buying hangover. I'm not sure how long Ron will be on the sales floor, since I feel this young man is management material. Given his years of experience and his professionalism, he will surely rise in the ranks there at Brandon Honda. I also want to mention Christopher Shotwell, the finance manager. My wife and I enjoyed speaking with him. He made us feel at ease with all the paperwork. He is another professional on the dealership team. He outlined the financial options and add ons rather than the hard sell so often encountered at many dealerships. His style is very relaxing at a time when tensions can be high. Overall, our experience was quite positive at Brandon Honda and we will certainly consider them first on our next car purchase. More
