Need more privacy when making a deal to buy a car, put my plates on for me. Make it more clear about the interest rate before sitting down and finalizing the deal with the paperwork. The gas tank should b plates on for me. Make it more clear about the interest rate before sitting down and finalizing the deal with the paperwork. The gas tank should be filled. We didnt want the gap insurance but found out we were signed up for it. We asked Matt to remove us from this insurance The finance person took a while to see us. Maybe she was busy with other customers. Matt was very good at answering questions More

I have returned to Honda many times to lease my cars beacuse they are willing to work with me in a way that works for us both. I've not found that kind of service elsewhere. My parents used Honda cars for years, and so have I (family tradition I guess). The cars are reliable, the service is caring, efficient and friendly, especially Lisa Barritta. And their cars are extremely reliable. I guess you could call me a happy customer. :-) More
