I recently purchased a 2026 Honda CR-V and am happy with the vehicle itself. The sales process was generally fine, but I had a concerning experience during financing. After agreeing on an out-the-door pr More

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying your new CR-V and that our team was able to respond quickly and work toward a resolution that you felt was fair. That said, I understand your concerns regarding the clarity of the financing process. You should always feel fully informed and confident in every part of the transaction, and I appreciate you bringing that feedback forward. It’s something we take seriously and continue to work on across all levels of the experience. We truly value your loyalty to the Honda brand and your business with us. Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to address the situation, and we’re here if you ever need anything moving forward.

We were lied to about car being smoked in. That was one of the 2 requirements we wanted was a car NOT smoked in. Found out later they had put an ozone machine in it to hide the smell. The smel More

Thank you for sharing your experience, Kayle. I’m very sorry to hear how frustrating this situation has been for you and your family, especially when purchasing a vehicle for your daughter. I understand your concerns regarding the odor in the vehicle and the delay in receiving your registration materials and paperwork. That is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have. We strive to be transparent about the condition of every vehicle, and I regret that you feel this was not the case. I would appreciate the opportunity to review the details of your purchase and the follow-up communication so we can better understand what occurred and determine how we may assist further. Please feel free to contact me directly so we can discuss this together. Justin Jarrell General Sales Manager Brandon Honda 813-664-1234 justin@brandonhonda.com

I would like to revise my star rating for this dealership to a 4. I am only doing so, due to Justin Jarrell, the General Sales Manager, at Brandon Honda. Justin responded very professionally and addressed each issue we had with the upmost sincerity to try and help resolve our concerns. Although, some of the issues couldn't be resolved (like not getting paperwork at time of purchase, being told the car wasn't smoked in, etc), they were heard and we were given the assurance communication would be made. Plus, we were compensated for an additional detail if needed for the car. Thank you so much Justin for your time and kindness in helping with a resolution to our concerns. If you need a reliable car, go see Justin at Brandon Honda!

This dealership was not upfront about their pricing and the lease inclusions and management refused to acknowledge the problem. More

I’m sorry to hear you feel this way about your experience. Transparency in pricing and lease terms is extremely important to us, and it’s concerning to hear that you left feeling otherwise. I would appreciate the opportunity to review your deal and better understand where the disconnect occurred. Please contact me directly so we can discuss your concerns and work toward clarity.

I went there with a pre approval check, once I handed it over couldn’t get it back. I was sold a lemon and even worse the warranty wouldn’t cover any issues! They stopped helping after I said I didn’t want More

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience. I’m glad to hear Fernando provided good service during the negotiation process, but I’m very sorry for the frustration you encountered with the communication and cancellation of the protection products. That is certainly not the level of clarity or follow-up we expect for our customers. I appreciate you giving us the opportunity to make some corrections, and I’ll be reviewing your experience further with our finance team to ensure this doesn’t happen again. If there’s anything still unresolved or that I can assist with directly, please reach out to me at 813-664-1234 or justin@brandonhonda.com .

Hi Justin The only item in my opinion that is unresolved is the cancellation of the one GDW that I’m being forced to keep even though Shaw in finance said they could all be cancelled.
