Nothing but good things to say about the Honda CRV It has been over 13 years since I bought a vehicle and I wouldn't have been in the market for one if a deer hadn't run into my 2006 Saturn and totaled It has been over 13 years since I bought a vehicle and I wouldn't have been in the market for one if a deer hadn't run into my 2006 Saturn and totaled it. A LOT has changed in 13 years, and I was an excited but nervous buyer. Tim worked with me, listened to my concerns and answered all my questions, without putting pressure on me to buy. He understood this was a big decision and one I didn't take lightly. I tried several SUV's and many had features that I liked, or colors I liked, but the bottom line is the CRV was the most comfortable. I keep my vehicles a long time, so I'm hoping that CRV stands for "Chris's Retirement Vehicle" Thank you Tim and Germain Honda for taking me into the next chapter of my life with a shiny new red CRV!

Couldn't Ask For a Better Experience Everyone I encountered at Germain Honda was friendly. When I came to meet with Steve Burden, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do - buy or lease again. H Everyone I encountered at Germain Honda was friendly. When I came to meet with Steve Burden, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do - buy or lease again. He answered all of my questions, and I never felt pressured. When I changed my mind, he worked hard to get the car I wanted. It ended up taking a couple of weeks for everything to fall into place. I could have gone to another Honda dealership to more quickly get what I wanted, but because of Steve, I preferred to stay at Germain. When I picked up the car, Steve seemed to be as delighted as I was. Scott Cassidy also was friendly and answered my questions and concerns. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Couldn't be better I want to start by saying I usually don't write reviews unless it was either a horrible experience or one of the best. This was by far the best. Steph I want to start by saying I usually don't write reviews unless it was either a horrible experience or one of the best. This was by far the best. Stephen was awesome from the start. We shook hands introduced ourselves and I told him what I was looking for. Immediately, I could tell he was thinking very hard about exactly what I wanted. He took me over to his desk and instantly brought up the vehicles he has previously thought of. Honestly, from this point forward the hardest part was picking out one of these wonderful vehicles. Stephen was very accommodating even though I felt I was being a burden with all my questions and requests. Every single one of my questions and requests was answered instantly and granted. He's a very knowledgeable man to work with. What I was most impressed with is I actually was able to ask a question he couldn't answer on the test drive. He said I'm not sure (unlike other places I have been and tell you one thing only to find out he didn't know what he was talking about) pulled out his phone and had a answer for me in seconds. If you need a car I couldn't recommend Stephen enough. I never once felt pressured to do anything. I genuinely feel that all he wanted was for me to be happy with my purchase. We picked out a car, negotiated terms, and was only waiting for the paper work to be drawn. For a moment, we became indecisive. We was interested in possibly purchasing a new hrv instead of the used crv. He did give me his honest opinion of the car and he felt the crv was the better choice but he had no problem letting me drive the hrv. I was shocked. He was trying to talk me out of spending more money. I drove the hrv, he was absolutely right. The crv touring we had previously picked was a much better for for us. We bought the crv and are absolutely thrilled with the car and our experience. We drove a hour to go there and there is no question I won't go anywhere else in the future. Even if we move much further away, Stephen is my new car guy and I highly recommend him to you... More
Customer care totally lacking An oil leak had me bring back to original xxx in case it was still under warranty, it wasn’t. Was told it would be 4-6 hours so I asked to use shut An oil leak had me bring back to original xxx in case it was still under warranty, it wasn’t. Was told it would be 4-6 hours so I asked to use shuttle and my name was added to the list. After about 45 minutes, my name was called so the records could be updated (already had done, this was a sleazy rude sales attempt). After 2 hours, no chance with shuttle yet. Other service staff were checking in with their clients but not me. Fast forward, while out walking becuz no shuttle, I was called to say the shuttle could pick me up where they dropped me off and a call back to say it would be 12-14 hours. Obviously there was some other issue unexplained and it got even worse on customer care. Will never go back to Germaine Honda. More
Responsive but didn't really listen -- slow at purchase Bottom line: Wanted a FAST car buying experience, especially time in dealership at purchase. Didn't get it. Instead, I had a standard (S-L-O-W) ex Bottom line: Wanted a FAST car buying experience, especially time in dealership at purchase. Didn't get it. Instead, I had a standard (S-L-O-W) experience that took over 2 hours compared to the 30-40 minutes promised. Very frustrating -- I basically wanted to negotiate an internet purchase and minimize time in the dealership. In this case, they demonstrated they don't know how to do that. For this reason, not a bad group, but nothing better than average (3 star) in my opinion. Details follow. Before you read on, if you like going to the dealership multiple times, having the salesman help you select a vehicle/options, talk about your family, get to know everybody and be put on his facebook page, etc...stop reading now. This dealership if fine and you'll enjoy them. I'm not that kind of buyer. I researched in advance, knew exactly what to buy, knew what a decent price is and have no issues with finances, I went to dealer website, asked for quote for exact car I wanted using their on-line inventory and was explicit that I wanted to negotiate everything in advance, arrive at dealership, sign and go (can provide text/email trail if you want it.) Time is very precious and important to me. I also completely filled out credit application, provided all documentation in advance (driver license, insurance, etc) to make the actual purchase swift. I reiterated this with every interaction and made an appointment for a specific pickup time and was there as scheduled. In spite of all of my efforts, it took over 2 hours after arrival. Why? Simple. No one had done anything with all of the negotiated values and documentation I provided in advance to get things ready. About 30 minutes after arrival, finally saw the sales manager who verified the negotiated price. Then another 15-20 minutes for the finance associate to come by and tell us she had "just gotten the package" and another 15 minutes before we actually sat down to sign something. Full disclosure, there was a twist in that the salesman I dealt with left the dealership a day before my appointment time. That's a wrinkle for sure. However, I told the new salesman that I'd be happy to pick another day/time if needed it to be ready. He said "no problem" but apparently it was a problem. Given the situation, he did okay and tried to speed things along, he just isn't in a position to force dealership management to do so. Very nice guy and friendly, but I came to buy a car, not engage in idle chit-chat while we waited on management to finalize the purchase. Finance associate was okay -- knowledgeable and once we finally got to the signing part, went very quickly. Final word: Listen to your clients and find a way to give those of us who don't want to linger at time of purchase a way to do that. Will I purchase another Honda? Probably. Will it be from Germain? Not necessarily, there must be other dealers who provide the service I want. More

Love my new car! Ed is one of the best sales reps I have met with! He made sure that I understood all the fees, all the paper work and everything that I was signing on Ed is one of the best sales reps I have met with! He made sure that I understood all the fees, all the paper work and everything that I was signing on. Ed continues to call me to make sure I am doing well and thanked me for the business. Jackie was also super helpful and friendly. She walked me through the final paperwork and didn't push anything on me when it came to extras. I would definitely recommend them again! More
