Lies and fees Lies! Sure, Google Reviews show good ratings. Try venturing out to Yelp and other sources before you show up to this place. I read about all of the ad Lies! Sure, Google Reviews show good ratings. Try venturing out to Yelp and other sources before you show up to this place. I read about all of the additional fees you incur when purchasing a used vehicle so I decided to reach out to a sales rep to determine the price of the vehicle. I specifically mentioned the reviews and asked for the final price due to finding such reviews. Bruce Paiva did not give me the price of the vehicle but reassured me he was the guy to buy a vehicle from... He told me to check the reviews of him from the Gillman Honda site. So he sent me a message and said "I'll make sure you get the tax title and license for free AND take $1300 off the vehicle. " (SEE PICTURES). So, I drove to SA from Austin, he didn't even meet me, he his 'associate' meet me. Even after he said the time I proposed was fine and that he was the person to buy from. Mimi, the associate was friendly. I enjoyed chatting with her but it came down the cost of the vehicle, already priced above book then you add almost 2k in fees for the dealership. I know buying a car is more expensive at a dealership than private party. HOWEVER, I only made the drive due to the conversation with Bruce. The price of the vehicle ended up being 2k more than sticker price. Mimi said they don't list the out the door price or straight up inform you because then no one would come in see them. So, apparently once you fall in love with the vehicle they hope you will pay 2-4k or maybe even more on some vehicles more than their worth, even a 2012-2013 vehicle. I showed Mimi the texts on my phone and she said there was no way that's what he meant. I left and then Bruce messaged me and said "I heard you want to not getting the car...I told you we could get you $1300 off the vehicle not 3 thousand." His misuse of words/grammar not my typing. [see pics]. So, to get this straight, the fees and taxes ARE NOT part of the cost of the vehicle itself. In his text he said I'll make sure you get the TAX, TITLE, and LICENSE FOR FREE ANDDD take $1300 off the vehicle. If you're looking at a vehicle online and come across this review, I really hope you think twice or go in knowing you're going to pay 2k more than sticker price, which most vehicles are already significantly marked up. They work on commission. -Jaimie More

Service Department Nightmare Service department less than professional. They did their best best to ignore me then acted like they were doing me a favor by talking to me.

We were selling our old car Toyota Sienna Van (Already had a buyer) and had our own financing. You were our last stop. We wanted to look at the Honda CRV. We met Patricia and had a wonderful experience. She is very knowledgeable and very personable. We felt we had met a friend who was looking out for our interest instead of a salesperson pushing a particular car. We appreciated her help and are greatful to her for making this a nice experience. And we love our new car. Thomas and Brenda Nursick More

Thanks Gillman Honda of San Antonio My Wife and I purchased a new, 2016 Honda Pilot EX-L today from Gillman Honda of San Antonio . Our sales consultant was Mr. Robert Henderson, and let My Wife and I purchased a new, 2016 Honda Pilot EX-L today from Gillman Honda of San Antonio . Our sales consultant was Mr. Robert Henderson, and let me tell you, this gentleman went above and beyond in helping my Wife to be able to get in a vehicle that she is really happy with and will enjoy for quite some time, and not only that, but the way we were treated at this dealer was really excellent. Mr. Henderson was very patient and understanding regarding to what features she was really looking for on the Pilot, was not pushy in any way or manner, or try to sell us a vehicle we didn't like, want or with features that we didn't need. Overall, he is a great person to do business with. Another gentleman I want to mention in this review is Mr. Tony Franklin, the Finance Manager that helped us with the financing at Gillman Honda of San Antonio. Great guy to conduct business with and talk to. Mr. Franklin treated us like family, with honesty, was very professional, and very patiently took his time to explain everything in detail. And we very much appreciate it. Last but not least, the Gillman Honda of San Antonio management, great people. If you are looking for a great deal, a place where you are treated with respect and with great customer service, visit this dealer and give them a little bit of your time and you probably won't regret it. Thanks to everyone that was involved with this deal. v/ r L. Portela More
