Gilbert Richardson -- Terrific Salesperson My wife and I recently purchased a 2020 Honda Accord LX from Zimmerman Honda, upgrading from a 2010 Accord LX. The entire transaction was a good expe My wife and I recently purchased a 2020 Honda Accord LX from Zimmerman Honda, upgrading from a 2010 Accord LX. The entire transaction was a good experience for us, and several members Zimmerman Honda's most capable, professional, and competent team were involved, but the key dealership person in this transaction was Sales and Leasing Consultant, Gilbert Richardson. As an automotive sales consultant, Gilbert practices all aspects of his job to a high standard of excellence, and is therefore a consummate professional. The vehicle was to be primarily my car; I liked the appearance of the new generation Accord, and from reading reviews and analyzing specs, I thought that it might be a good choice for my next vehicle, but I had never driven one. Quite frankly, with the myriad of new developments in automotive technology over the past decade, I was uncertain that I would feel comfortable adapting to some of new features in the vehicle, so deciding to purchase that day was not a done deal. Aptly reading my apprehension, and therefore my hesitance toward being able to or wanting to adapt to some of the technological changes, Gilbert adapted his product demonstration and the test drive to be not only comprehensive in overall scope, but also focused in demonstrating the benefits of all of the new features in a manner by which I not only gained an understanding of the purpose of each feature, but also realized each feature's benefit through guided hands on experience. The whole demonstration/test drive was seamlessly efficient, informative, and fun. By the time we returned to the dealership, I was sufficiently comfortable with the new car to proceed. After we decided that this was to be the car, Gilbert adeptly put all of the wheels in motion, coordinating with sales management and finance to put the deal together, all the while making sure that we were kept informed about each step in the process. In hardly any time at all, we were driving home in our new Accord. It is always refreshing to be able to work with professional sales people. These are people who practice to a very high standard of excellence by constantly learning as their products evolve, who care enough about their customers to take the time to understand their needs and concerns, and who work diligently toward achieving a high degree of customer satisfaction. Gilbert Richardson is one salesperson who exemplifies that very high standard of professional excellence. More

Fast | Friendly | Fair As someone who has purchased A LOT of cars in my day (47 to be exact, but we aren’t winning any awards here) I’ve found that dealerships can be a hass As someone who has purchased A LOT of cars in my day (47 to be exact, but we aren’t winning any awards here) I’ve found that dealerships can be a hassle. Kind of like trying to scavenge the earth in a great attempt to find big foot or prove that the earth is flat. It just seems impossible to have a fast, friendly and fair experience. That’s why I’m here right now... ... writing this review. Matthew Rizzo over delivers day in and day out and never disappoints. When my incredible mother Samantha reached out to me letting me know she needed the best quality vehicle for the lowest price possible I instantly shot a text over to Matthew. I did this for 3 reasons: 1. Fast. My mom spent maybe 15 minutes at the dealership signing paperwork before driving her beautiful CRV home. 2. Friendly Matthew has a contagious smile and vibrant personality leaving anyone he speaks with instantly in a better mood. 3. Fair Not only did my mom get an incredible deal, she also got first class treatment start to finish even though she only spent a few minutes actually at the dealership. Look, The bottom line is this: If you need, want or should get a new or pre-owned car, Matthew Rizzo is the guy. If you want to spend hours at a dealership, pay too much and be treated like just another customer... look elsewhere because you won’t find that with Matthew and his team. Every minute you wait wondering if you’re making the right decision on your next car is another minute you could have spent enjoying it. Get ahold of Matthew Rizzo ASAP! More
