Our experience with Wally was great. We were moving to San Diego from overseas and began looking at Hondas online. The inital person we were working with, Zach, gave us a great price and referred us to Wa San Diego from overseas and began looking at Hondas online. The inital person we were working with, Zach, gave us a great price and referred us to Wally for internet sales. When Pacific Honda didn't have the color we wanted, Wally got us exactly what we wanted from another dealership and had everything ready so that when we arrived in country and in the store, all we had to do was sign the paperwork! No unexpected surprises. Overall, a great experience and we love our Honda! We'll be back again! More
Zach Driscoll was great! He put me in touch with Mark Morrow. Mark was great. He explained everything in very easy to understand terms. He was real and down to earth. He wasn't trying to trick us and ove Morrow. Mark was great. He explained everything in very easy to understand terms. He was real and down to earth. He wasn't trying to trick us and over charge us. He answered all our question and walked us through the whole process. He made the leasing process easy to understand and do able. I would recommend him to everyone! More

We had a mixed experience -- it started good and ended up pretty bad. THE GOOD: Robby was super-friendly and attentive when we came to look at cars, and again when we came for a test drive. He responds pretty bad. THE GOOD: Robby was super-friendly and attentive when we came to look at cars, and again when we came for a test drive. He responds promptly to emails. THE BAD: Once we were ready to buy, we emailed Robby if he would match another dealer's offer. Since he'd spent time helping us out, I wanted to give him the sale if at all possible. We very clearly named the specific price. He replied that he would be happy to match the offer. But when we arrived at the dealership less than 24 hours later, it was a TOTAL bait-and-switch! He asked for documentation of our other offer (which I provided) and had us fill out the financing application. The application included information we hadn't specified our our initial in-person visits, including how much we planned to put down (about half the cost of the vehicle) and our income (which was probably more than he expected). He took the financing application upstairs. When he returned, he gave us his "best" offer... $28,400. Umm, WHAT?? Let's take a look. So, your best offer is (a) only $800 below sticker price, (b) $2,400 above the other dealer's offer you'd previously agreed to match, and (c) $1,200 higher than the starting offer you gave us 7 days ago???? I couldn't tell if he was nuts, or stupid, or if he just thought we were stupid. When I confronted him on this, it was apparent that he had simply forgotten what he'd offered the week before. (He gave us some lame half-excuse about it being a different manager on duty that day -- whatever, dude. Keep better records.) When I expressed frustration that we weren't getting the price he had agreed to match, he was very apologetic but didn't have a satisfactory explanation. He just told me that the price was ridiculously low and it would represent a $2500 loss to the dealer (I know this to be untrue). I was just so annoyed that he would agree to match an offer just to get me through the door, then completely renege on the deal. Even in retrospect, I'm still baffled... did he actually think this would work?? Robby seems like a nice guy, but this behavior was totally unprofessional, and in the course of trying to explain himself, he tossed out a couple of obvious mistruths about the cost of the vehicle, etc. It's insulting to be lied to. I felt it was not very respectful. I don't get why any dealer would risk this behavior with customers. The car sales business is more transparent than ever -- with just a few clicks, any buyer find out the dealer's true cost for a vehicle. When I walked in the door at Pacific Honda, maybe all Robby saw was a young mom wearing a t-shirt and sweats who probably doesn't know what she's doing. But dude -- don't judge a book by it's cover -- I'm an Ivy League PhD, my math skills are way better than yours, I know your game, and you better believe I've done ALL my homework. THE OUTCOME We left Pacific Honda and went to another dealership the next day and bought the car for the exact price we wanted and not a penny more. It was smooth sailing with no runaround. So it turned out great for us (and I do LOVE our new Honda!) but I wouldn't trust Pacific Honda again. More
Ted Cosby was very patient, informative and pleasant during the car buying transaction. He went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with my new car. during the car buying transaction. He went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with my new car. More
we purchased two 2012 odyssey touring elite from pacific honda. very happy and satisafied!! here is the detail. my wife and i were looking for odyssey van for about two weeks. Last weekend, we decided to honda. very happy and satisafied!! here is the detail. my wife and i were looking for odyssey van for about two weeks. Last weekend, we decided to go to several dealerships and see if we could strike a deal. my sister in law also looking for odyssey van. so it's gonna be a two car deal. i assumed all the dealership loves the two car deal. anyway, went to couple local honda dealerships, either the price was unbelievable high or the dealership didnt show much of interested helping us out. so we were about to stop shopping, but we were near by Convey, and close to pacific honda dealership, so we were thinking just give it a shot in Pacific honda. As soon as we got there, we met Wally. he was very friendly, and knowledgable about the odyssey. unlike other saleperson. he pretty much know his stuff. Also he was very accommodated and patience with us. the color i wanted for the van for some reason, it's rare, it's smoky topaz. almost all honda dealerships in San Diego has very limited supply for it. however, wally looked up his inventory and told me that if i want, they could get it by tomorrow!! anyway to make the story short. we got the smoky topaz and diamond pearl both touring elite!! great colors on those van!! finance department, i forget his name, but he was very nice and friendly too. they threw couple incentives items to the van. so overall experience was wonderful. if the future, if anybody wants to purchase honda, i will definitely recommend them to go pacific honda and see Wally. he will take care you!! Sincerely, Charlie and akiko Chen More

Do you believe in "MAGIC"? I DO!!! (& I'm not referencing a 70s song), I'm speaking of Mr. Larry "MAGIC" Pinnick, credit manager at Pacific Honda! Recently I lost my husband to lung cancer, L not referencing a 70s song), I'm speaking of Mr. Larry "MAGIC" Pinnick, credit manager at Pacific Honda! Recently I lost my husband to lung cancer, Larry was the only financial/salesman in San Diego that was dedicated to getting me and my 13 yr old son into a car.It was a scary emotional endeavor but thanks to Larry, it was smooth, fast, & one that ALL dealerships should be proud to provide their customers. I won't speak of the "exacts" of this city's other dealerships and their staff but what I can tell you is that I was in the market for over 6 months and NO OTHER dealership, OR sales, OR credit dept. compares to that of PACIFIC HONDA! I LOVE MY NEW MAZDA 3! I can't say enough or recommend more that you stop wasting time and energy bouncing from this place to that place and get to Pacific Honda and ask for Larry Magic Pinnick...Hocus Pocus! He'll make a believer outta ya! ?? He Saw the Best in Me?? More
There are no words to describe how I feel today. Mr. Larry "Magic" Pinnick is to thank for my elation. I had been going through alot lately, and had given up hope for a brighter day. I didn't believe Larry "Magic" Pinnick is to thank for my elation. I had been going through alot lately, and had given up hope for a brighter day. I didn't believe that anything would come out of inquiring on purchasing a vehicle and had been told no so many times. This man, was dedicated to helping me and putting me in a vehicle. His hard work, and commitment in doing so shined right through til the end. Not only did he keep trying until he found a bank to finance me but he also took the time to make sure I had a way to the dealership. Making time from his schedule he picked me and brought me back home. He found a way around every obstacle that was in my way prohibiting me from being able to purchase. The day I signed my paperwork and it was official, I couldnt believe it. Magic told me he would get me in a vehicle and did just that. Holding back my tears I thanked him repeatedly for all his help and for giving me something my life needed right now. I truely appreciate everything he has done, and wish there was something more I could do to show my gratitude because thank you isnt enough in my eyes for giving me and my children a great start at our new journey. He truely is my angel, and would recommend him and the dealership to everyone that I know. Magic, his nickname is truely what he is and a great asset to any company. I am thankful that he was sent to me. Thanks Magic! More
