I was very nervous buying a car as a woman, alone. I let Javier know I didn't want to haggle and needed to feel very comfortable purchasing a car. I visited Honda on a Thursday evening test drove a car but Javier know I didn't want to haggle and needed to feel very comfortable purchasing a car. I visited Honda on a Thursday evening test drove a car but decided to leave. (I wanted to shop around a bit). I returned about a week later, Javier was a joy to work with. I test drove another car and decided this was the car for me. Javier, worked really hard with his manager and the finance guy to get me a deal I was happy with. I needed to leave Honda feeling comfortable and not taken advantage of. Javier and the finance guy Justin did just that. Justin worked really hard to get me financed at an excellent rate. Upon leaving they both gave me their numbers to call anytime if I had any questions or needed them to further explain anything to me.I would recommend Javier and Justin to anyone who is looking to buy a new car.

My experience at Honda Cars of Katy was beyond excellent! Tiffany is the Used Car Director and she took time with me and met my needs. I purchased a 2007 Honda Accord and I'm in love with it. Ricky made sure Tiffany is the Used Car Director and she took time with me and met my needs. I purchased a 2007 Honda Accord and I'm in love with it. Ricky made sure I was completely satisfied. I had to bring my car back in for a touch up and I was not inconvience when my car was kept overnight. I highly recommend this dealership in buying New as well as pre-owned vehicles. I'm sure by the way I was greeted the sale staff was great to be around. So, if you are reading this Tiffany and Ricky.....thanks from the bottom of my heart! And if you are looking to purchase a car......Please go to HONDA CARS OF KATY!! More
We purchased a used Honda Civic Hybrid from this dealership and had a very bad experience from the beginning. We were constantly shifted from sales agent to sales agent. They demanded $1,000 above dealership and had a very bad experience from the beginning. We were constantly shifted from sales agent to sales agent. They demanded $1,000 above the price advertised online, stating that they would not make any profit at the advertised price. The sales agent told us that the hybrid batteries were not known to fail. Our hybrid battery lasted one week, prompting an automotive technician to tell us that it had been "fixed" for the sale. The Finance department head managed to add on all sorts of charges, including a $500 fee for "Lifetime Free Oil Changes." (My fault for missing that one on the contract, but he did his best to confuse us.) The Finance Department Head also sold us a 3 year complete warranty, then printed out a lesser warranty to give to us. (We discovered this and challenged him and he said he used the wrong form. They were two distinctly different colors.) Only after extensive work on my part, reporting them to the Better Business Bureau, and starting a case action suit with Honda America did they agree to replace the Hybrid battery at their expense. All in all, this was a very stressful experience and a good lesson for my 16 year old son on what to avoid in future car deals! More
I was looking for a good pre-owned/used small SUV in good shape with as little mileage as possible and for a price I could afford. After looking at several dealerships on a Saturday, I stopped at Honda Cars shape with as little mileage as possible and for a price I could afford. After looking at several dealerships on a Saturday, I stopped at Honda Cars of Katy to see what they had. After being greated by a very friendly salesperson outside (all the sales people were very friendly) and escorted inside and giving him (can't remember his name) all the information about what I was interested in and what car I now owned, he called Tiffany Lively (used car specialist) over to talk to me. She asked if I'd ever heard of AirCheck of Texas. No, I had not. She explained that it is a government program to get cars that are 10+ years old off the streets and help car buyers with as much as $3,000 to get a newer vehicle. My car was 11 years old. She gave me the paperwork to complete and bring back to her. None of the other dealerships had even mentioned this program to me. I completed the paperwork and took it and the required documents to her on Monday evening. She looked it over, ran copies of what she said was needed, and said she would fax it to the proper place and follow up with them and let me know if and when I was approved. One week later (remember -- this is dealing with a government agency!), she notified me that she had received a response that I was approved and that I would be receiving a voucher for $3,000 within 5 business days. She said that since I was approved, that I could come in and see what all they had. I went back on Saturday morning, and she got Salesman Tony Dubon to help us. He was great! Tiffany told us what cars were in my price range; Tony brought each one around, and we test-drove them. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We finally decided on a great 2008 Honda CRV that had been a lease vehicle and that had just been turned in the day before. We finalized the deal; the CRV was washed, serviced, and ready. I took it home that very evening. I have really enjoyed driving it. Tiffany and Tony were great. They both have followed up and contacted me and thanked me for my business and welcome me back for anything other assistance I may need. Plus, I was given a card to take to their quick service center and use for oil changes for life at no cost to me; just have to pay the couple of dollars for tax charged. More
My husband went to look at a Civic Si there, ready to purchase with a trade in... WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. I'll try to condense his experience... they took 3 days to get him a REAL quote (not "Oh yeah... s purchase with a trade in... WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. I'll try to condense his experience... they took 3 days to get him a REAL quote (not "Oh yeah... should be no problem to get it at $price"). In the meantime, they never called him back, even when they told him a specific time to expect the call back. William was his salesman, and while he was very nice and easy going, obviously communication is not his (or anyone else's) strong point. The only time my husband spoke to them was when he called them himself. Before they even got him the actual monthly payment amount they let him take the car for a couple days (he works at a shop and wanted to check it out there). He came in to bring it back and talk numbers (as they'd been planning for 3 days), and they made him wait for about an hour before someone came to speak with him. They quoted him a 20% interest rate when BMW had quoted him an 8% interest rate. The monthly payment was $200+ higher than the rate they said they could get him. They obviously got him in the car thinking he would fall in love and impulsively buy it without caring about the actual monthly payment... WRONG. My husband had to DEMAND his keys back. It was a waste of 3 full days time, and not only did the staff not care about the customer, they didn't even call him back... isn't that considered something like an auto sales crime... seems like all other dealerships won't STOP calling you! This is by far our WORST EVER dealership sales experience-- Unless you have time and money that you're looking to waste, do not visit this dealership. This is the first online complaint I have ever had to write. UPDATE 2 DAYS AFTER ORIGINAL POST: My husband received a phone call from Tiffany, a manager at Honda of Katy. She is was quite upset at the negative review we posted (naturally). She demanded that my husband pull down the review, and when he declined, she insisted that she would reply to our review by posting his credit information on the website. My husband frankly told her that she could not legally do that as it could considering defamation of character. Aside from the legal aspects of it, we found it incredibly rude that she had to audacity to threaten to put up a customer's personal and private information online. She even went on further to explain how important this issue was to her by promising on her children that she would reply to our review in a negative manner towards us. I guess this is what it takes to get a call back from their employees. More
I would have given this dealership a great rating if I didn't have to pressure the sales/service team members to get something done. We bought a used Honda Odyssey on a late rainy Saturday evening. didn't have to pressure the sales/service team members to get something done. We bought a used Honda Odyssey on a late rainy Saturday evening. We entered the dealership with our kids after an evening get together. I had seen the van online and wanted to see it in person. We had planned to debate over it on Sunday and buy Monday. Dio met us at the door and was very friendly. He pulled the van around to the covered and lit area for us to look it over. We liked it except we wanted our mechanic to inspect it on Monday. He asked us what it would take to get us in the car that night, and I told him my price, interest rate, and the need for our independent inspection. I did not expect him to be able to meet any of those, but was pleasantly surprised when he came back with approval. While we signed the paperwork, Dio helped entertain the kids with balloons and goodies. Our Mechanic inspected the van, and found the seal on the sliding door was bad, the electric door was sticking at times as the wire harness was missing the clip to the frame, and the dvd was inoperative. I returned on Tuesday and was told to wait 2 weeks for warranty to kick in, but the seal and chrome was replaced that day. When I did return 2 weeks later I was told warranty would not cover the items and the total price would be close to $1200. I kept my cool, and told Sally, the service writer, what my terms were in buying the car, and she apologized, but it was not up to her. I then asked to talk to a manager and was put in touch with Sean Brooks. He was GREAT! He was very busy, but very polite. All items were taken care of within 48 hours of talking to him. I wish the employees were given a little more leverage when it comes to honoring their word on a sale, and not have to be prodded to talk with a manager when someone feels wronged. More
My name is JD and I recently purchased a 2011 SUV from Honda Cars of Katy. The details of this story are too long to explain, so the short version is this: After purchasing this car and feeling really g Honda Cars of Katy. The details of this story are too long to explain, so the short version is this: After purchasing this car and feeling really good about it, I came across some mistakes with respect to financing, and accessories that I was upset about. Having purchased many new cars over the course of 35 years, my experiences had been both good and bad. I was expecting the worse. Armed with all kinds of data, I arrived at the dealership with my blood pressure at an all time high, ready to fight it out. What happened next was a very pleasant suprise. I sat down with Mike, Justin and Dwain and explained my situation expecting to get the royal run around. What I got was an entire team bending over backwards to resolve the issues to my satisfaction. Mistakes were made by both the dealership and myself in the process too long to detail, but the team was understanding, empathetic, and professional. The issues were quickly resolved. I was embassassed to have expected the worst and was ecstatic with the resolution and the help of this group as well as the service department. I walked out once again feeling very good about the experience and the automobile. Too many times, I have experienced a cavalier attitude from car dealers once the deal is done, but with these guys that was not the case. I would highly recommend this dealership and will very likely buy another vehicle from them. Possibly as early as next month. More
Bought a car twenty days ago, the transmission went out, called to ask them if they would do anything to help. After the manager called me he told me he had to do some research and call me back the followin called to ask them if they would do anything to help. After the manager called me he told me he had to do some research and call me back the following day prior to 10 a.m., needless to say he didn't have the fortitude to call me back. Had one of his underlings call me to let me know that I bought a lemon from them and that they didn't care and basically told me to take a flying leap! Needless to say with that attitude and lack of customer service I personally think that anyone wanting to purchase a car new or used should keep off this lot and pass along the information to all their friends! Want a lemon, go to the grocery store or buy a used car from Honda cars of Katy!! STAY AWAY WARN ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS!!!! More
