I have now purchased 2 vehicles from Criswell Honda. I will give credit where credit is due - the first process was smooth and we had 0 issues. Because of this we went back to Criswell and they have now More

No, HONDA corporate office legal team is reviewing my concerns as your "management" team lacks integrity and compliance to legally binding agreements. This is also known as a breach of contract. Read item 11 of the buyers order. Any overage of payoff will be refunded to the customer. Not pocketed by the company. Your management team told me they'd do nothing and to "handle it how I feel is necessary" and so I have. If I'm not mistaken, you represent Honda and there can be repercussions for unethical behavior.

From my previous post, about the check that Criswell Honda did not want to pay out - after leaving multiple negative reviews and reaching out to the Maryland AG, BBB and Honda Corporate office, a sweet lady at the Criswell headquarters named Sue contacted me and advised this dealership was incorrect in holding my money and that they were advised to cut a check for the amount. Again, credit where credit is due. Sue is great and an asset to the company. HOWEVER the sales rep Mike Blackstone was completely unprofessional both the day of the sale and today when I picked up the check today. We walked through the front door of Criswell and he immediately stood up and started following us stating "Are you really going to put us on blast for $200.00?" Getting louder as he continued to follow us to the managers desk. His manager, Andre - the one who told us to "do what you have to do" (and we did) had to correct him multiple times and tell him to stop while we were standing in the middle of the dealership floor. He definitely is not professional and certainly does not represent the Honda brand. This man should not be in sales, customer service or dealing with the public in general. I was going to remove my review with the help Sue provided me, but after this event, people need to know the type of dealership they will be doing business with. Never in my life have I experienced such unprofessionalism. The saddest part of all is even the corporate office of Honda and Criswell agreed this was a breach of contract. So to answer you Mike, yes I am going to make this big of a deal over $200. This dealership was taking advantage of the consumer and acting extremely unethically and unprofessionally.
