This dealership adds on 5k to MSRP plus 2800 on accessory markup. Wake up people. Do your homework. There are 4-5 dealers in Texas that do not charge BS markups. Please do business with them.

Salespeople 5 Stars: Caden Morgan & Mayur were top notch. Settled on a price fairly quickly and they contributed to deciding which Ridgeline would be best. ALL of their cars have a $2,800 appearance package, Settled on a price fairly quickly and they contributed to deciding which Ridgeline would be best. ALL of their cars have a $2,800 appearance package, which is not optional. You won't find this on the website. So, understand that the MSRP you see doesn't include it. Not a problem if you know they have built it in for dealer profit and negotiate down from there. Dealership Appearance 5 Stars: Clean, bright, new and has a good atmosphere. It's a newer dealership, so you would expect it. Finance 1 Star (generous): Dealt with John Pomroy. Friendly and your best friend... until you question the over $3,000 in add on coverages. I have purchased over 10 new cars and had 6 new leases. Most recently I was in and out of the Mercedes Dealership in less than 90 minutes and they had full transparency in every area. This however was the absolute worse finance experience I have ever had. I run an insurance company and pride myself in knowing the numbers. John however was a master at the "slight of hand" with the numbers. And, if you questioned where they came from it was "hidden incentives offset that", "you just don't understand how it works", etc. There was some masterful misdirection and belittling and shaming techniques to get you to feel like an idiot for just asking. My wife was thoroughly upset and sat through it all. I don't need to get into all the details, but in the end he had built in well over $150 per month of extra's (Lo Jack, Permaplate, windshield protection, etc.), stating it was only going to cost me $21 per month. Many of these items were supposed to be included in the Appearance Package but were not. Lo Jack, Permaplate were only a year with the package he said… I needed to buy the extra years of coverage.??? It got so bad that when he got caught in his lies the finance manager had to come in to clean it up. When we came out, the sales guys knew what happened, and were embarrassed. John is very slick... and my guess is that very few people ever challenge him. There is no doubt the dealership is well aware of it all, but in this climate of having less cars to sell they see the opportunity to build in a ton of extra profit. We like the car and they detailed it well for us. My wife unfortunately has a sour taste for Honda and said its the last one we buy because of this. I hope that's not true because I like their cars... but I understand. I realize someone will follow up this review with a "sorry about your experience" response. But, they can save it unless they go back and review the recording of the finance transaction and say "John is fired". That isn't going to happen though. I literally had to shower after getting back just to wash away the negative and get my positive energy back... whew. More

Very efficient and ready to work with you to give you the best deal on some great cars. We worked with Angel and he made us feel like we’re the only customers at the dealership.

Before I came to drive the car, I asked specifically if there were any dealer mark up or add on fees. I got a reply of "no". I went there, drove the car, liked looks, color, and interior with good cargo there were any dealer mark up or add on fees. I got a reply of "no". I went there, drove the car, liked looks, color, and interior with good cargo space, but not how it drove. It only had 11,000 mile plus on it, so could not understand why the steering was very loose, the drive was loud, and the brakes were mushy. Both sales reps who talked with me were great. Yes, there was an additional appreciation package on top of the sales price, and the dealership seems to have just added VIP with pricing below the sales price to reflect that. It was not shown on the car I went to see though. So hopefully more dealers will start to be more transparent as this one is starting to do that. I got a good education on leasing as well. More
