Gary See did some of the paper work and the next day I came to pick up the car and Richard Miller had the car ready for me and completed the sale. Richard took the time to sit in the new car with me and explain some of the features and program some of them. I was very satisified with the friendly service I received. I will surely recommend those 2 salesmen and Colonial Honda to family & friends. I also was pleased with the finance dept (I think it was Rebekah Clayton ) as she explained all the details pertaining to the papers that I had to sign. Purchasing this new car was a very pleasant experience !! More
What made the difference I searched for a deal on a new Honda through Truecar.com and Colonial Honda was one of two companies that came out of the search. At the same time, I I searched for a deal on a new Honda through Truecar.com and Colonial Honda was one of two companies that came out of the search. At the same time, I was also pursuing an offer from a more local dealer where a relative of mine worked and was working with one of their sales staff to come up with an offer. The Internet Sales Manager at Colonial Honda sent me an e-mail follow-up to let me know they were interested in helping me and to advise me that a sales rep would be reaching out to talk with me. The next day, Gary See contacted me (as promised) and a friendly dialogue ensued as Gary made note of the things I was interested in having in a new car. Subsequent calls were always well timed, with a good update on his progress and casually narrowing down my list of 'must haves.' The offer to deliver a car to test drive was a surprise. Not that I expected to take Gary up on the offer, but that he was genuinely willing to do that. Since I needed to get an appraisal from the dealer on my car anyway, I thought it best to visit the dealer and test drive while they completed the appraisal on my existing vehicle. The greeting I received from everyone was great. I honestly expected to have the 'deal' handed off to another sales person, (thinking one person brought in the lead and someone else closed on the deal), but I was pleasantly surprised that I got to complete the entire deal with Gary. He is the person who first established the relationship with me as a customer and it was only right for him to finish the sale. Everything continued to run smoothly all the way from finalizing the options I wanted through financing and ultimately driving off the lot with my new vehicle. But it is important to share a couple of observations and notes. First, the 'other' truecar.com dealer that was competing with Colonial sent me a few e-mails with an invitation to call if I was interested but never once called me or indicated they planned to call. They even went so far as to send me a link to a credit application, which I found a little premature. We hadn't even narrowed down what I might be purchasing or that I would be buying from them. Second, I could not have asked for a friendlier, more attentive sales representative than what I found in Gary. Always listened to me, never did a hard sell to pressure me into something more expensive. He actually heard me tell him that one of the reasons I was looking at the Civic was to help reduce expenses, so staying away from trying to get me to buy something more expensive was a good move not to make. We had just bought a new Honda Accord EX-L so there was no need to go the path of more luxurious. Third, I felt welcomed and appreciated. I wasn't buying top of the line, but I was buying something that was important to me which seemed to be the only thing that mattered to everyone. Everyone was considerate of the time it takes to buy/lease a new vehicle. The offer to bundle all the extras that I selected that had to be done to the vehicle and to do it in a later appointment was appreciated. Adding to that Gary's offer to pick up my car at my home and return it when everything was finished was hugely appreciated. I live 40 minutes from the dealership and taking the time out to coordinate the service with work would have been stressful. Finally, finance gave excellent advice about additional services available which helped me discern between what I should choose when leasing versus buying the vehicle. This was in addition to the fact that he was a pretty friendly guy himself and I always felt at ease through all the 'paper signing' ritual. The entire deal was a package of pleasure. The usual pain of decisions about which car, what options and how to finance that one expects never surfaced. You have a great team working at Colonial Honda and I hope you know how fortunate you are as a company and as a dealership. Thank you Gary and all!

replacing my 16 year old honda civic for a Prius Knowing I'm planning long distance driving around Virginia this summer, I had to replace my 1998 228,000 mile Honda Civic. Sifting through reviews, r Knowing I'm planning long distance driving around Virginia this summer, I had to replace my 1998 228,000 mile Honda Civic. Sifting through reviews, ratings and contacting dealerships was intense. Finally getting a Prius became my goal despite at least two sales men dissuading me from a hybrid because of the $5000 battery replacement/ labor costs. Fortunately, word of mouth led me to the Carter Myers Automotive group. I experienced professional, non-pushy sales people. It hasn't been a week yet of driving the Prius, but it's a leap forward n comfort and complexity. I hope to own it problem free for at least eight years. More
Robert Johnson If you are looking for someone that is personable and not the normal salesperson then Robert is your person. Robert was so helpful throughout the sale If you are looking for someone that is personable and not the normal salesperson then Robert is your person. Robert was so helpful throughout the sales process and was the reason I bought the car. Robert was not overbearing and was rather friendly during the process, qualities that I value while buying a vehicle. Thanks for making the car buying process enjoyable. More

She was not one of those too "pushy" sales people that i have dealt with before and a lot of people appreciate that. Rebekah was awesome and helped us get in and out after purchasing TWO vehicles, and helped us understand the process, warranty, etc. They both made our experience great! More
Horrible Service! HORRIBLE! I purchased a 2007 Toyota Camry from this place and before my 1 year warranty was up, I was having engine problems. Not to mention I had to HORRIBLE! I purchased a 2007 Toyota Camry from this place and before my 1 year warranty was up, I was having engine problems. Not to mention I had to bring my car to the service department about 5 times for a sensor to be replaced and three out of the five times it just sat there without even being looked at! Maurice Studivant was my sales person and I'd advise not to deal with him. He made many false promises to me and I didn't appreciate it! My car had to be serviced next door at Priority Toyota. They treated me SUPERB and I didn't even purchase my vehicle from them! I will never associate with Colonial Honda ever again in LIFE! And I'd advise whoever is reading this not to either! Priority Toyota has just earned a loyal customer. They are the perfect example of how a business should be ran and how a customer should be treated! More
Colonial Honda and Bill Stone were awesome! I recently moved to the Richmond area (from Charlottesville). In Charlottesville the Carter Myers family, through their Volvo and other dealerships, I recently moved to the Richmond area (from Charlottesville). In Charlottesville the Carter Myers family, through their Volvo and other dealerships, have a long history of support for organizations that mean a lot to me such as the Albemarle County Sheriff's Office Foundation and the UVA Children's Hospital. For this reason, I made an effort to support their organization by looking for a car at their Richmond area dealerships. It turned out a Honda CRV was the best new car for me. I needed a lot of assistance throughout the search and purchase, as I owned my 2000 Saab 93 almost 15 years! Bill Stone was a wonderful partner. Bill was honest and straight-forward. He answered my specific questions regarding the strengths and weaknesses of each car we discussed. I had done my homework by reading Consumer Reports, so I did ask questions comparing several competitors. He took me out for a test drive in several different Honda vehicles. He was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend him to my family and friends. In fact, everyone at the dealtership was delightful. I visited several times and was always greeted with a smile, a handshake, and an offer for refreshments. By the second visit, all I met greeted me by name. The dealership was clean, attractive, and comfortable. I love my new car and believe I have Bill and his colleagues at Colonial Honda to thank for it. More
Exceptional Client Service and No Pressure Sales This is our 2nd vehicle purchase from this dealership. Everyone was friendly, professional and attentive. Best experience in buying a car, there was This is our 2nd vehicle purchase from this dealership. Everyone was friendly, professional and attentive. Best experience in buying a car, there was no high pressure sales. We took all day to even decide on buying our Pilot and with the price negotiation; we also went back and forth with if we were doing money down or just trade a car in or both trying to find the best monthly payment for us. Our sales person never once became frustrated or irritated with us; but remained just as friendly and professional with us even when we were there an hour after closing. Also, if they couldn't answer a question about the vehicle, they did not make up an answer; but was honest and said I don't know but then immediately went and found or researched the answer. We really can't say enough good things about this place. We highly recommend stopping in and talking to Bridget Dougherty for your next car purchase. More

Great experience at Colonial Honda with Gary See I purchased a 2014 Honda Accord yesterday at Colonial Honda. My salesman was Gary See. He was extremely personable and informative. I particularly I purchased a 2014 Honda Accord yesterday at Colonial Honda. My salesman was Gary See. He was extremely personable and informative. I particularly appreciated the fact that he was very patient with me and not in any way "pushy". He made me feel as if I was his only customer, and that he would make sure I was satisfied with my decisions. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone interested in buying a Honda. I feel as if I can call on him with any questions I might have in the future, and that he will continue to take care of me. More
