Dishonest sales tactics I have purchased numerous new vehicles from other dealerships and have never been mislead as horribly as I was today. I was given a quote in writing a I have purchased numerous new vehicles from other dealerships and have never been mislead as horribly as I was today. I was given a quote in writing and verified by text from the salesman only to be told that the price had changed an hour later. Then I try to speak to the General Manager and he is conveniently at lunch then with customer meetings all afternoon when I tried calling back. People like these are the epitome of slimy car salesmen. Maybe tomorrow the GM will have time to take my call but definitely not going to hold my breathe. Looks like I am buying from one of the reputable dealerships that warned me about this type of shadiness. More

I literally got an email from Kendrix Williams saying: "Good afternoon! I see that you opened my email but did not respond. Are you no longer interested in purchasing a vehicle?" When asked to stop, he kept pressuring to see if I wanted to buy a car. This is so creepy! DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. More

Not A Honest Place I was dealing with dealer for about a week and tried to negotiate the price; knowing that it's already overpriced. I checked the CarFax and any infor I was dealing with dealer for about a week and tried to negotiate the price; knowing that it's already overpriced. I checked the CarFax and any information out there pertaining to a 2012 GMC Terrain. When I asked about him lowering the price, I didn't hear back from this salesman for days. I happen to just follow up with him and all of a sudden there is supposedly something wrong with the transmission. None of this was stated when we first started communicating. So I asked, if there's something wrong with the transmission, why is it still listed on AutoTrader and why none of that information is available. He continued with the dishonesty and if this was a know issue from the beginning of our communication. In all reality, he didn't want to sell me the vehicle because I asked for a lower price. This place I do not recommend to anyone and will not be dealing with them. More

Deceptive business practice for used car and new car sales I am actively shopping for a 2018 Honda Accord for my daughter in college. We didn't want or need a new car, but the 2018 base Accord LX has the coll I am actively shopping for a 2018 Honda Accord for my daughter in college. We didn't want or need a new car, but the 2018 base Accord LX has the collision mitigation system and other safety features that we want for our daughter. We found 4 vehicles through an internet search that met our needs and budget, all of them at Gillman Honda Fort Bend. All four vehicles were 2018 Accord LX models with between 2,700 and 4,000 miles. I confirmed that the vehicles were also included in the pre-owned inventory on the dealer's own web site. I live about 30 minutes away from this dealership, so I called to confirm that the vehicles were available before driving there. The sales rep said he would confirm and call back, but I actually arrived before he returned my call. It was 7 pm when I arrived and the dealership closes at 9 pm. When I got there, I was first told that all of the advertised vehicles had been sold. The sales rep then tried to sell me an 2017 EX model for thousands more. This was their first attempt at a bait and switch. I quickly explained that the 2017 did not have the safety features I wanted, and I asked him to verify that there were no Certified/Used 2018 vehicles in inventory. It seemed odd that all would be sold, especially since one of the advertised vehicles did not even include a picture on the website. Instead, the site said the picture was coming soon, seemingly indicating that the vehicle was brand new to their inventory. The sales rep then checked with his manager and returned with the surprising news that they indeed had three of the used 2018 Accords at the advertised price, but all of them were in the Service department being readied for sale. He said he couldn't show me the vehicles because the Service department was already closed, but he offered to make an appointment the next day when I could see them and complete the purchase if I was interested. He gave me the three colors of the vehicles and said he would reserve my color of choice until our appointment the next day at 10 am. I reserved the silver vehicle, and all was good. The next morning, my daughter and I made the drive down to the dealership again, arriving at exactly 10 am. As soon as we walked in, the salesman stated that there had been a mistake in the way they coded the vehicles into their inventory system and in fact all three of the vehicles had already been sold. However, he assured me that they would 'make it right' and sell me a new Accord LX at the same price since it was their error. I didn’t come in for a new car, nor was I in the market for a new car, but the manager even went so far to state that they would basically take a loss on a new car to correct their mistake. Unfortunately, this was just another lie and another attempt at a bait and switch. As you might guess, the price for the new car was thousands more than the advertised price that brought me to the store on two separate trips. During this 'negotiation', there were various attempts by the sales rep and the New Car Sales Manager to explain away the difference in price, including a higher MSRP as well as two additional and separate charges, one for approximately $1,500 for a protection package and another charge for something else in the range of $950 for which I don't recall the excuse. During the discussion, it also came out that their advertised price of $20,990 for the slightly used vehicles did not include a hidden charge of $1,000 that called the Certified charge. This upcharge to the phantom used cars was never discussed prior to that point, nor was it included as a footnote to the advertised prices on the internet. Basically, everyone I dealt with at this dealership either attempted to deceive me or outright lied to me. The only possible alternative to the purposeful deception is that, from top to bottom, an entire Honda dealership is staffed with people too stupid to perform even the most basic tasks necessary to operate an ethical business. I have had my fair share of shady sales people in more than 30 years of buying cars, but this is the first time I have encountered such purposeful deception. It’s a shame that a fine product like Honda automobiles is represented by a dealer like Gillman Honda of Fort Bend. More

Service Review only - Very poor!! I was there for my Honda Odyssey 60,000 miles service - Van would not start next day. Took it back to be told battery issue and I also noticed that t I was there for my Honda Odyssey 60,000 miles service - Van would not start next day. Took it back to be told battery issue and I also noticed that they had not rotated my tires. All these were listed items in the 60,000 miles service package. So if these two which were clearly visible were "NOT" done...makes you wonder if any of the other listed items were done at all. Also this is not the first time where they did not rotate the tires for me...a year ago I had the same complaint and I reminded them again this time about it.......and yet they did not care to address it! Really!! So unless you are savvy enough to go over each and every item in the list and have enough time to make sure they were all addressed -stay away from their service department!! More
