I started in the industry because I have always been fascinated by cars and racing. I also love meeting new people and getting to know my customers personally. I love my dogs and cats(I have 3 of each) and my horse. The best part of my job is helping customers have a great Honda ownership experience! Stop on by! I'd love to meet you!

I wouldn’t recommend the service department to anyone because they say you have thousand of dollars in repairs when in reality they just want you to spend more money. The cars they sell are not checked because they say you have thousand of dollars in repairs when in reality they just want you to spend more money. The cars they sell are not checked to the “Honda” standard. I have gotten 3 cars from here and the two previous cars have been lemons and when you confront them about it they can’t even look you in the eye. It seems like they’re lying about a lot of things and when you go there with a warranty on file they will act like there isn’t one and try to charge you full price for something without doing their job. It wasn’t until my husband came with me each time that they decided to work on things. If you’re a woman never go to a car dealer alone because they will try and screw you over. I was happy this time around that the manager Mousa and the salesman Tyler really took the time to help me with my car. I appreciate them both because this review is for the service department and not the actual sales. More

I was told I needed to buy a new tire due to a non-repairable sidewall puncture. I was shown a photo with a screw protruding from a tread. I took it to a local mechanic near where I live.

Took my 2017 Honda pilot to the shop to get my driver side Window fixed due to an issue that needed the part replaced and unbeknownst to me that I had a “third party” insurance that covered it that but K side Window fixed due to an issue that needed the part replaced and unbeknownst to me that I had a “third party” insurance that covered it that but Kevin was great in assisting and explaining to me how that works and that saved me a ton out of pocket. So thank you again Kevin for your time and patience. More

Services cost WAY too much compared to any other mechanic (not to mention, they do not roll your diagnostic fees into any repair work...like most mechanics do). I wound up paying $250 for an oil change and t (not to mention, they do not roll your diagnostic fees into any repair work...like most mechanics do). I wound up paying $250 for an oil change and to be told my 2008 Honda Civic, that was purchased 3 years ago for $3500, needs over $6000 of work. When brought to my normal mechanic for a second opinion, the amount for the work I NEEDED was under $1000 and I was told a lot of what Honda of Kenosha added to my work order was just to pad their numbers. I only made the reservation at Honda of Kenosha in the first place because it was a Sunday when I noticed I had an issue with my car and was able to make an appointment for the next day on Monday online. On a similar note, Joe Valente was quite possibly one of the WORST advisors I've ever worked with from any dealership; Condescending and rude throughout our entire interaction. He was not helpful when I had questions, just replied with a snarky quip or assured me that any previous maintenance that I've done to my vehicle was incorrect. I will never return to this dealership nor will I recommend anyone to go here. More
