Great Experience and Customer Care Based on my experience before and after purchasing the vehicle I'm satisfied and confident that Honda of Ames will be my first stop and recommendation Based on my experience before and after purchasing the vehicle I'm satisfied and confident that Honda of Ames will be my first stop and recommendation to others when looking for another vehicle. Be sure to ask for Tom Mitchell, he will treat you well! My family had been on the hunt to replace our existing minivan with something newer, more reliable and modern safety technology. We stopped by the Ames dealership and worked with Tom to find the right vehicle for our family. Unfortunately at the time the dealership did not have what we were looking for so we continued looking around the Des Moines area. We spent time at multiple dealerships talking with over 10 different sales representatives and found ourselves disappointed and defensive as the salesman seemed more interested in quickly getting us into a vehicle and off the sales lot. We ended up coming back to Ames Honda and working with Tom to purchase a new Honda Odyssey. Tom made the negotiation and process seamless and fun. The main reason we came back to Honda of Ames was because of our initial encounter with Tom and his patience working with us to find the right car for our family. Post purchase we noticed a scratch on the bumper and some stains on the leather of the brand new vehicle. We reached out to Tom and Melvin Gawley (service department) and they were extremely helpful in resolving the issues we found. Based on my experience before and after purchasing the vehicle I'm satisfied and confident that Honda of Ames will be my first stop and recommendation to others when looking for another vehicle. Takeaways: - Be knowledgable concerning financing and options prior to working with the finance group. Many services and options offered during the time of financing can be found cheaper through your own insurance company or via 3rd party. - Walk your vehicle (especially if new) multiple times before leaving the sales lot. Make sure you have noted all defects before signing the purchase agreement. More
