This dealer has a Life Care policy that is bogus. The policy states that if you allow Tameron Honda to service your vehicle they will guarantee a 250,000 mile drive train warranty. All of my service has policy states that if you allow Tameron Honda to service your vehicle they will guarantee a 250,000 mile drive train warranty. All of my service has been completed by Tameron and on my 50,000 mile visit I was told that my warranty was voided because I did not complete some of the requirements, one being change a dust and polution filter in the dash, which has nothing to do with the performance of the drivetrain. I have a signed document stating that I wish to participate in the Tameron Honda Life Care program and I also have all documentation of service provided by Tameron on my vehicle. Tameron service failed to complete all required service on my vehicle. While out of town my car began to operate poorly(poor gas mileage and low power). My husband and I pulled into a local auto parts store and pulled the air filter only to find out that at 40,000+ miles that it had not been changed. When I take my car in for service, especially Life Care Service, I expect the air filter to be replaced as well as any other services demed needed on that particular visit. I would like to know if Tameron has screwed anyone else with this bogas LifeCare agreement. More
The people at this dealership are the true definition of "used car salesmen". My brother bought his first car on his own through this dealership. He worked with the sales associate on price and told the s "used car salesmen". My brother bought his first car on his own through this dealership. He worked with the sales associate on price and told the sales associate and Mr. Spivey that he would pay a certain amount for the vehicle. The sales associate told my brother if he would put $5,000 down on the car then he could finance it throught their dealership. My brother went to his credit union and got a much better rate and financed the entire price of the vehicle. The credit union assocaite called and confirmed the final price with the dealership and cut a check for the full amount of the car. My brother returned to the dealership, delivered the check from the credit union to Mr. Spivey. Mr. Spivey showed my brother where to sign on all of the paperwork, gave him the keys and told him to enjoy his new vehicle. A week later (after my brother returns to his Air Force station) the dealership called and informed him that he owed them $5,000 down payment and if he didn't get them the money they would send someone to get the vehicle from him. After my brother pulled his copy of the paperwork he noticed they had tacked $5,000 on to the original price he had agreed to and noted that he would pay $5,000 down. After talking to Spivey and the manager of the dealership my brother started sending them letters requesting copies of all paperwork and recordings of the final sale of the vehicle. Now the dealership will not call him back or give him an answer on whether or not he will get a new corrected bill of sale that shows the correct amounts. I will never recommend this dealership to anyone! They seem to be crooks! More
This dealer has my business for life! I shopped all over Birmingham and felt like I was dealing with the typical used car salesman no matter where I went. I did a lot of research before shopping, and was w Birmingham and felt like I was dealing with the typical used car salesman no matter where I went. I did a lot of research before shopping, and was weary of going to Tameron after reading the reviews on this website. I can only say that either everyone else just had a bad experience, or that I am the only one who has been treated with the utmost professionalism. Everything went quickly and smoothly from the salesman meeting me on the lot, showing me several used accords to choose from, all the way to the paperwork with the business manager. They worked with me to find the car that I REALLY wanted (an 06 accord) and then we worked with what I could afford. Everyone was so helpful and professional. The salesman was nothing like what I had encountered at other dealers. He may very well be the nicest person I have ever met. I feel very good about the decision I made to shop at Tameron. I take my car there for all the regular maintainance and I feel like I am treated like a queen in their service department! I will definitely be buying my next Honda from Tameron! More
Be careful -- I was openly lied to pre purchasem, saying that if the noise I was conserned about was engine related they would fix it or refund the purchase. After the fact they refused, said that their st that if the noise I was conserned about was engine related they would fix it or refund the purchase. After the fact they refused, said that their statements were "just business" and instead sold me a post dated warrenty ( which is illegal) -- stay as far away as you can -- wish there was a better way to warn every one -- More
Bought one vehicle from them but will NEVER buy from Tameron again. My daughter dealt on the phone with salesman Steve Fisher who told her he could discount a 2006 Accord $2,700 (end of model year clea Tameron again. My daughter dealt on the phone with salesman Steve Fisher who told her he could discount a 2006 Accord $2,700 (end of model year clearance) and that he had 7-8 coupes to choose from. She had to skip her graduate classes and I had to leave work early to meet with Steve. He did not even know what inventory he had. It was pouring rain at night and we waded thru puddle after puddle walking all over his back lot searching for a 2006 Accord Coupe...in our dress clothes and now soaked leather soled shoes. He was pleasant and so were we, but he was noticeably nervous and visably shaking. After wasting 2-1/2 hours, Steve finally presented his first offer, which was only $400 below sticker, not $2,700 as originally quoted. We should have suspected something when we saw him, the sales mgr and another employee laughing while working up our numbrs and keeping us waiting...and waiting...and waiting. He tried to present the offer in terms of her down payment...as if it was part of the "discount". I told him not to try that angle and to give us the bottom line price. We didn't bother to counter offer. We just walked out of the dealership. And, I might add, we left very, very angry at him and Tameron Honda. AVOID THIS DEALER!!!!!! More
This dealership has been nothing but a bad dream. I received a junk car and high interest rate financing. I have received harrassing phone calls at work to my manager. Informing my manager of my perso received a junk car and high interest rate financing. I have received harrassing phone calls at work to my manager. Informing my manager of my personal account information and putting my job in jeopardy. They have threatened a warrant for my arrest to my personal contacts. My payments are current therefore I have contacted the Federal Trade Commission and an attorney. Buyers BEWARE!!!! More
They do a bait and switch on used, up prices to whatever they feel. After noting that the blue book price on a vehicle I was interested in was $1500 less, at least, than they were listing it for, they not they feel. After noting that the blue book price on a vehicle I was interested in was $1500 less, at least, than they were listing it for, they not only stuck by the high price, but even had the gall to charge $500 more AND add a non manufacturer's warranty to the bill for $2000 without even talking to me about it. <br><br>Don't waste your time at this dealer folks, drive someplace where the rent is cheaper and the deals honest.

We purchased a 1999 Honda from them about a year and a half ago. They sold us the extended warranty on the car, and we were promised that if anything "so much as a radio knob pops us, it's covered". Boy half ago. They sold us the extended warranty on the car, and we were promised that if anything "so much as a radio knob pops us, it's covered". Boy were we taken! We have taken the car in for about 4 different things since purchasing, and NOTHING has been covered under the warranty. Not headlight wiring, not dashboard lights, rotors, brakes - nothing. We swear there is a problem with the transmission, but each time we take it in, they charge us $80 for the diagnostic test and then can't find a problem. My warranty runs out in 8K miles, and I'll bet you anything they can find the problem after that. They have even denied fixing things that the warranty plainly states are covered due to a "normal wear and tear clause". This dealership has proven to be one of the most rotten, low-down dealerships I have seen. They truly give used car salesman a bad name and I would never send anyone there. Not to mention the fact that we are about $4K upside down in a car we put $1500 down on! Do you think we got screwed or what?? Ray & Brooke Cavanaugh, Gardendale, AL More
I bought a CRV and was given all the paperwork by Mr. Dimon, the business manager and told that I have 10 days to get my tag. I had driven 100 miles to purchase this vehicle. When I got back to Mississ Dimon, the business manager and told that I have 10 days to get my tag. I had driven 100 miles to purchase this vehicle. When I got back to Mississippi I was told I could not get a tag without the title and the dealer should have sent it directly to them. When I repeatedly tried to contact the business manager or anyone to help me all I got was voice mail and no response. No one would return my calls! On the 10th day my husband drove the 100 miles back and Mr. Toney said the papers had been mailed. I contacted the tag department and they had not received the papers. When I called Mr. Toney he told me the papers had been mailed the day before. They had to wait for me down payment check to clear! 10 days to clear a check! They had not told me that the papers had to be mailed to MS. and obviously had not done so in a timely manner. This whole tag experience has been a nightmare, and I still don't have a car tag!! Do you think they are going to pay the late fee? They didn't even offer to reimburse us for the unnecessary trip to get the papers that they had supposedly mailed. I wouldn't recommend them to my worse enemy!!! More
I purchased a Passport from Tameron in July of 2002. I was told by Cedric McMillan, tha the car was a 1 owner vehicle that was taken very good care of. I later came to fond out through the help of CarFax was told by Cedric McMillan, tha the car was a 1 owner vehicle that was taken very good care of. I later came to fond out through the help of CarFax that the vehicle was actually a lease vehicle from out of state that had been wrecked, reqiring moderate repairs. After calling Tameron and voicing my concerns about their fraudulent sale of an automobile, I was given the runaround and told by Jimmy Eperson that there was nothing I could do about it because I signed an arbitration agreement with the sales contract.
