I began my career at Honda of Columbia in 2016 as an oil change technician and advanced through the certified technician training program, earning my certification. I also served as a Used Car Technician during my time in the service department. After eight years of hands-on automotive experience, I transitioned into the role of Service Advisor and have since moved into sales. With a comprehensive understanding of both our vehicles and dealership operations, I’m well equipped to answer any questions and help you find the right vehicle. Visit me at Honda of Columbia!

Based on previous experience with car dealers, I dreaded looking for a new vehicle. A very welcoming young lady greeted my husband and I in the parking lot and introduced us to Troy Foate who I had spoken looking for a new vehicle. A very welcoming young lady greeted my husband and I in the parking lot and introduced us to Troy Foate who I had spoken to on the phone a few weeks earlier. Troy was a pleasure to work with. He made the sales process so much more pleasant and was very knowledgeable and helpful. A big thank you also to Regis Fanning in the Finance Dept. At no time were we unduly pressured to purchase more than requested. We will definitely recommend Honda of Columbia to anyone we come in contact with looking to purchase a vehicle. More

We purchased our 2007 Honda Odyssey from the Hendrick group back in 2010 and have used Honda of Columbia for service ever since.

Recently, with 230k miles on the odometer and a $3,000 AC repair looming, it was finally time for an upgrade. My wife was the primary driver of the Odyssey and the buyer for this new vehicle. We wanted to test drive the Passport, Pilot, and CR-V to find the right fit. Our salesperson, Troy, was fantastic—he took his time and walked her through the features and interior accessories of every model. We eventually decided on the CR-V. This was truly the easiest car-buying experience I’ve had since my very first purchase in 1974! More

Troy Foate is amazing! ! He provided excellent service, with a no-pressure, attentive approach that prioritized our needs. We are super happy with the experience and purchas ! He provided excellent service, with a no-pressure, attentive approach that prioritized our needs. We are super happy with the experience and purchase. You can tell Tony is dedicated to customer satisfaction and will work to get you a great price. Regis Fanning, the Finance Manager, is a very nice guy and was helpful, even when we changed our minds on some of the extra warranty offers. This is our second purchase from Honda of Columbia, we purchased a Pilot 11 years ago that still runs like a Honda should because of the excellent maintenance it had from their Service Center. You were right Tony, I'm loving my upgrade to the Passport Elite! Just like before, it was a positive, customer-focused experience worth returning for. Go see Tony at Honda of Columbia, you won't regret it!! More
