Best service team in the business! I have been a Honda customer for 30 years...though I stepped out once to a Prius... My first car was bought at Rivergate Honda but since moving to Fr I have been a Honda customer for 30 years...though I stepped out once to a Prius... My first car was bought at Rivergate Honda but since moving to Franklin in 1996, it's been Waltrip. I must admit, that I am always very leery of car sales teams, but I can attest to the fact that Waltrip has the best service department ever!! I feel like they are honest - which is a huge thing these days! - and really care that the work is done well and efficiently. Whether it be an oil change or whatever comes up, the mechanics work harder than anyone in the building to make it right! And if there is a service issue, the service managers are polite, concerned and attentive! D Waltrip Honda employees seem to know and respect the namesake of the dealership, and they act like family! Thanks for all you do for our community in keeping a business that can be trusted to do the right thing and not just for a profit! More

Bait and Switch attempt, poor effort from salespeople I was looking to buy a new car. Shouldn't be too hard, they have cars. I knew what I wanted. I informed the salespeople that the car I liked was li I was looking to buy a new car. Shouldn't be too hard, they have cars. I knew what I wanted. I informed the salespeople that the car I liked was listed on their page as one of their cars, but at a sister dealership location. After my test drive they did everything in their power (which really wasn't much) to try and get me to buy a car on their lot that I did NOT want. They lowered the price a couple hundred dollars here and there to try to and get me to buy one of the cars on their lot, never mind it was NOT the car I was looking for. I used one of their computers, while they were in their huddle pretending to really be doing me a huge favor, and I pulled up the car on their web page, and said "This is the car I'm looking for, this is why I'm here. Can you get it." They had zero interest in getting me that car. How dare I ask for such a thing. If you're not going to sell me what you claim you have, then don't waste my time. $25K on a car I do not want, is not saving me money, it's losing me $25K. So, while they were in huddle number 3, I looked on my phone, found another dealership, that now had exactly the car I wanted. I now own that car, and for less money. Be up front about your motives. Flat out say, "I am only interested in selling you a car on this particular lot, and only if it's not too much effort." Tell customers at the door who have done their research, "If the car you want was on our website, but is not on this lot, we will make as little effort possible to get you that car." More

We found several issues in the paint that needed to be addressed by Honda. Our purchasing dealership, in an effort to save us a 3 hour drive, told us to go to our local Honda dealership to have them inspect the issues we had found. We arrived on a Monday morning about 10:30 for someone to look at the vehicle. They were very busy, but helpful in documenting the issues we had found. We were told that we would receive a phone call that day or the following day. By the end of the day on Tuesday, my husband had to call to find out the status of our concern, but was not provided with any updates. Finally Wednesday morning, my husband received a call asking for additional pictures. Pictures were sent within a few hours of that phone call. Since Wednesday morning, numerous phone calls and emails have been sent. We have received no communication from Darrell Waltrip Honda's service department. More
greedy people to squeeze the money out of you These people charge way too much repairs and hourly rate. Last year i had a TPMS sensor that went bad on one of my tires and they gave me a $295 quot These people charge way too much repairs and hourly rate. Last year i had a TPMS sensor that went bad on one of my tires and they gave me a $295 quote.I called Crest Honda which is in the general area and got a quote for $100 for the same.After a uncomfortable argument they matched the price. Honestly, i bought 4 oem tpms sensors( $60 for 4 pieces) for my other car and took it discount tire. For $10 a tire they replaced all of them. an year later i had a problem with my alternator and they wanted $950 to replace it when crest honda quoted $645 for the same. Honestly their prices are outrageous. I am surprised they have good reviews. Either people have no idea of the cost or they convince people that's what it costs. I wont visit this dealer ship again in my life. More
Lost a whole week TL;DR: Darrell Waltrip Honda suffers from a systemic lack of honesty, follow-through, and communication. Previously, I have had positive experiences TL;DR: Darrell Waltrip Honda suffers from a systemic lack of honesty, follow-through, and communication. Previously, I have had positive experiences with this company. I purchased a car there four years ago, and had all its service performed at Waltrip Honda. After this past week, though, I will never set foot anywhere near there again. Monday: I was in the area for unrelated reasons and was curious about a used car I saw on their website, so I stopped by and met Russell. The car was new to the inventory and had not yet gone through service, so it took about 45 minutes to find. He did find it, though, and I got to test drive the car. There were some brake issues that should be easily fixed, and a scrape on the side that we thought would rub out. Since I had not planned on this when I left my house, I did not have my checkbook (I intended on paying cash), and wanted those issues addressed anyway. We requested paying a deposit to hold the vehicle. Russell took us into the office, and had us start filling out paperwork for purchase. That was okay, if it saved me time down the line, but I still wanted to make sure the issues were addressed. I asked again what we would need to pay today to hold the vehicle. He left to ask his manager, and when he returned, he assured me that Finance would be able to work out something. We finished up, then had a mysterious pause of about 30-45 minutes before we saw Finance. As the person in Finance handed me papers, I asked again what we would owe today to hold the car. He responded, "The full price of the car." Now getting angry at the direction this was going, I explained our intention to hold the car, and that I could not purchase the vehicle at that moment as I did not have my checkbook on me. As he went to ask his manager if he could work something out, he said, "We do not hold cars." At this point, we had been in the dealership for over four hours, with almost three spent trying to hold the vehicle. Their solution: they could hold the car until tomorrow morning, when I could bring in the full amount for the check. I did not want to do that while there were still pending issues to be addressed. Tuesday: Russell called me, apologizing profusely for the "miscommunication." I said, that was quite a miscommunication, since we asked you a couple times what we would need to hold the car. He responded, "Yes, and I never relayed that information to my manager." So, what were he and his manager talking about when he left to ask about that very thing? I should have left entirely at this point, but I am a moron, and really did like the car overall. I told him to update me when the car was ready. He called back later that afternoon to tell me it was ready. I called back, and got his voicemail. I had to head into work, so I asked him to text or email me with what they had done to the brakes, as well as how he thinks the scrape turned out. He texted me, asking if he could text me. I said yes and repeated the question. That was at 2:20 pm. He never responded the rest of the day. Wednesday: I called in the morning, and asked to start working with a new salesperson. I then spoke to Trent. I repeated my questions about the brakes and the scrape, which he investigated. The brakes had not been addressed, and his own test drive reaffirmed the issue. He said the scrape "could look good with a little touch-up." So, neither issue had been addressed in regular service, as Russell had stated. With the brakes being kind of important, he was going to take it back to service to get those items addressed and that I would receive a call as soon as it was ready to get "first crack" at it. Thursday: I waited until noon, then called to follow up. I reached Monica, who notified me that Trent was off today. (He never mentioned this yesterday...) She was going to check with the manager on the status of the car. My available time to go in was running low for the week, so I followed up again about 2:20. She said the manager was in a meeting until 2:30, at which point he would update me. I did not receive a call until 4:30, to tell me the car was not ready. I was assured again that I would be notified when the car is ready. Friday: I called to follow up again at 1:00. The gentleman who answered informed me the car was sold an hour prior. At no point prior to my calling in had anyone at Waltrip attempted to reach me to let me know the car was ready. I informed the gentleman, whose name I have forgotten, about the promises made previously. He said he saw lots of notes on my account from "nearly everyone," and that "every single person dropped the ball." My conclusions: either everyone at the place is a liar, or no one communicates with anyone else about promises they make to their customers to make sure those promises are fulfilled. Both possibilities point to a severe deficit in competent management. I will never return here, and I strongly recommend searching elsewhere for a car. More
Worst experience ever I went to Darrell Waltrip and had the worst ever experience. Sales person Tom showed me the vehicle and we had a test drive. After that he showed me t I went to Darrell Waltrip and had the worst ever experience. Sales person Tom showed me the vehicle and we had a test drive. After that he showed me the price sheet saying you already contacted us via internet. I said yes and wanted to negotiate the price. He told that we ASIAN have a tendency to bargain everything even though if it is priced rightly. After that for almost 5 mins he kept repeating like we Asian do this, do that etc. I had to walk away from there. You simply can not comment that I am bargaining because i belong to a particular race. If you do not agree to my price then simply say no, there is no need to comment on my race. Never ever visiting them again. Worst experience ever. More
Conflicting information leads to waste of time. Was given conflicting information on scheduling service. Knew it was busy so agreed to drop off the car -- person who answered the phone (young, femal Was given conflicting information on scheduling service. Knew it was busy so agreed to drop off the car -- person who answered the phone (young, female, very tentative) said I didn't need to schedule an appointment. I arrive and am greeted by a nice guy immediately who said a service tech will be over shortly. I wait around 5 or 10 minutes. Another couple arrives and are immediately taken care of. I go inside, stand around -- woman behind the service desk finally asks if I need help. I tell them I'm dropping off the car. She said, so you'll leave for the weekend, then, right? I said no, I was told that would be handled today. But I don't have an appointment so I'm screwed. She counts all the cars already scheduled and prebooked for the day. It's still the morning, but she can't fit me in for an oil change. Wasted my time and my brother's, who drove over to give me a ride back home. This dealer needs to train those in the service department who answer the phone to immediately suggest setting an appointment on days where the volume is high and it's very busy. That would have solved the problem. Instead, I've wasted my entire morning and still my car needs service. More
