This was not t I was initially quite worried about purchasing my first car. I had heard that dealers would try and trick you to pay ridiculous prices. This was not the case at Jay Honda. The people were extremely friendly and incredibly helpful. They did not make me feel pressured to buy the first vehicle I saw, but instead encouraged me to make sure I chose the vehicle that was right for me and in my price range. I would recommend first time car buyers to go with Jay Honda if possible and anyone else who is looking for a good deal with fabulous service. More

We gave him our best offer given and he was able to match it. And then we were also able to negiotiate one more selling item, and it sealed the deal. They had a new van for us on their lot and prepped and washed it while we waited! On top of that, my name was listed on a 'welcome to Jay Honda' board.And every weekend in the summer, they serve free lunch (hotdogs, hamburgers, and sausages). It was great since we were there over lunch for 4 hours and were hungry! Great food too! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ira kept checking in with us, and was very receptive to our needs. More

I Love my Honda! Thank you, Ira! I loved my 2008 Honda Accord and was undecided about buying a new car because I thought I should change models, but Ira helped me Thank you, Ira! I loved my 2008 Honda Accord and was undecided about buying a new car because I thought I should change models, but Ira helped me realize that I didn't have to give up my Accord. I could just get one with more features than my 2008. His friendly, confident manner helped me feel comfortable about my decision to buy a 2014 Honda Accord. NOW, I love my 2014 Honda Accord!! And thanks again for that awesome test drive! Terry K. More

We shopped for our new CR-V and Civic at a few Dealerships, and compared the price, service and "intangibles" of each Dealer. Our final decision to purchase two new cars today at Jay Honda was at Dealerships, and compared the price, service and "intangibles" of each Dealer. Our final decision to purchase two new cars today at Jay Honda was at first what we thought would be a tough decision, as at least one other Dealer and its Sales People would have to "lose", after also working to get our business. But, the reaction of the other Dealers after our decision, combined with Ira's outstanding service and patience, as well as Mike's repeated considerations of our many requests (and counter-offers) as we tried to make our decision, convinced us that we made the right decision, no question. After the sales, Xavier did a good job of considering our short term AND longer term financial horizons, and helped us find a way to purchase both cars, instead of leasing one (which we really didn't prefer). He helped us see the wisdom of buying both, and we agreed with his rationale. Good insights. FInally, everyone at Jay who we dealt with from the first response to my blind e-mail (that alone is rare these days) to the final signing were great. A truly fine Dealer, in our opinion - and we've dealt with many. More

Buying a Civic at Jay Honda My car died on a Monday. I had only three days to purchase a new vehicle. I contacted the three major Honda dealers in the greater Cleveland area. Onl My car died on a Monday. I had only three days to purchase a new vehicle. I contacted the three major Honda dealers in the greater Cleveland area. Only Ira Jackson-Carpenter at Jay Honda responded promptly with all the information I needed to make a great buying decision. I first spoke to him on the Tuesday the day after my car died and on Wednesday by 1:00 o'clock, I was driving home in a 2012 Honda Civic. I feel very comfortable recommending both Ira Jackson-Carpenter and Jay Honda. Susan Richards More

I've never been to a car dealer that made the entire car buying experience so easy as it was today. I was in for a maintenance service appointment, and was not planning on buying a car today until I wa car buying experience so easy as it was today. I was in for a maintenance service appointment, and was not planning on buying a car today until I was approached by Ira Jackson Carpenter. Ira deserves commemoration for his professional customer service today. He was never pushy or made me feel like I was "taken for a ride". I will definately spread the word on his excellent customer service as well as now, after now my 4th Honda, "Honda is the way to go!". Thank you so much for making this unplanned investment such a smooth experience. Sincerely, Kate Hoagland More
