The same as all other dealerships My wife and I wanted to buy a 2018 Honda Accord Sport. I submitted an internet request to Gillman Honda and Kirit Khatri responded within minutes wit My wife and I wanted to buy a 2018 Honda Accord Sport. I submitted an internet request to Gillman Honda and Kirit Khatri responded within minutes with a price that was several thousand dollars less than the other Honda dealerships. We met Kirit the next day. He was very was respectful and courteous. I refused to pay $199.99 for the nitrogen in the tire add-on scam so he removed it. This was all done on a week day night and we have a 10 year old daughter that goes to school. Kirit was very understanding and told us to come back the next Saturday to finalize everything. Based on Kirit's professionalism, we filled a credit application and went home. Kirit kept us updated as to the status of application before we returned on Saturday. When the arrived on Saturday, Kirit was waiting on us with the car ready for delivery. However, the next couple of hours was a hassle to say the least. Mike "The accessories guy" came over and wasted 20 minutes of our time trying to sell us all kinds of accessories that we didn't need and never asked for. Then we finally met the most dangerous person in the dealership, the fiance manager, Vernon Quesnot. Most dealerships make most of their profit on the "back end", which is any profit made after the car sale. This includes profit through selling products and services such as extended warranties, paint protection, GAP insurance, etc. They are trained to suck money out of your pockets while making it look like they're doing you a favor. He was no exception to the rule. He printed out fiance paperwork while talking to us and telling us how he works for the customer. Included in the paperwork was all of the services cited above. He acted like the services were a part of the overall price of the car as he was itemizing everything. This raised the monthly payment of the car over $120.00. That's approximately $7,200.00 over the life of the loan. All to the dealership. I could tell he was upset when I asked him to remove all of it. I tried to be diplomatic and explained that I could buy all of the services for a fraction of the cost online. He responded by saying "You are not going to beat me." Nice. That is when I finally saw the true colors of the dealership. A pure money grab. We finished up the paperwork and took delivery of the car. However, as we were getting ready to leave, here comes Mike "The accessories guy" with one final pitch to sell us some overpriced accessories. I brushed him off and left the dealership with our new car. So there it is, Gillman Honda. The same as all the other dealerships. No better, no less. I wonder how these people sleep at night after taking advantage of the average working person. Thankfully, I only buy a car every 15 or so years, so I won't have to deal with these people again for a long time. More
Buying a Ridgeline from Ana Valadez It was very easy via the Costco buying program to get to a better price for a new Ridgeline than any other dealer in the area. I am very busy and tim It was very easy via the Costco buying program to get to a better price for a new Ridgeline than any other dealer in the area. I am very busy and time is very important to me. Ana managed all aspects of the transaction and took personal attention to make sure the car was delivered within a few hours of my purchase. Got the price I wanted on my trade in as well. More
Gillman Honda SA As a former Honda of America Mfg associate I greatly appreciate the professionalism and knowledge that Ana Valadez demonstrated when I was in the mark As a former Honda of America Mfg associate I greatly appreciate the professionalism and knowledge that Ana Valadez demonstrated when I was in the market for a new car. Ana Valadez represented the Honda values from the initial contact through post sales. As a follow-up, I asked for the opportunity to speak with Gillman Honda SA’s General Manager and expressed my appreciation for her professionalism and knowledge; and would have spoken with the Honda zone representative if on site.

Save time and shope elsewhere First i find it offensive they try to force you to get tint/fabric treatment/paint sealant/nitious they do not include this in the price and try to ad First i find it offensive they try to force you to get tint/fabric treatment/paint sealant/nitious they do not include this in the price and try to add it in at the tale end as a bit of a suprise! One of the other things i disliked was that the sales manager actully tried saying my car is a rare one though this isnt true considering honda makes tons of my car though it was not an issue for me i feel like i need to tell people of the absolute shady things in my openion that go on here. The staff is clueless, the tried delivering my car dirty then full of scratchs, they did buff most out but missed a few and attempted to make it right that said i still had to pay for a professonal wax job that cost me $90 to get the remander scratches out. When callng gillman my experance is the left hand doesnt know what the right is doing. They will drop you into a voice mail with no warning even though you asked to speak to the person. You will be shuffelled around dept to dept. I find they want you to jump for them when in fact they should be jumping for me...they forgot there working for the customer not the other way around. I find the managment unwilling to talk like adults i actully paid cash for my car and though i have not completed signatures they needed (though i have been there multipule times to do so) there trying to tell me that people there wont be paid because of that even though i brought a certified cashiers check out of my account...they have my money and because of there buisness practices there trying to guilt me. I reminded the manager of that and in fact thats a buisness issue not my issue and ill be there tommarrow to sign papers regardless of personal inconvenience to them. If your wise just shop around...the internet is a great place to avoid jokers like this. This is my openion only. I recommend anyone who has issues with them just report them to the dmv...they control there licensing. More

Great buying experience!! After doing our research on the car we wanted to buy regarding a fair market price, we sent emails to several dealers in the area. San Marcos Honda n After doing our research on the car we wanted to buy regarding a fair market price, we sent emails to several dealers in the area. San Marcos Honda never responded to any of our emails until days later; actually after we had already purchased a car. Only Gillman Honda and Fernandez Honda responded timely with actual good offers. We decided to begin our on-site visit with Gillman Honda and was assigned Ana Valadez from their internet department. From the beginning, she endeavored to figure out exactly what we were looking for and how she could meet our desires. She was friendly and informative, never pushy or overbearing. She didn't play any games, but readily took our counteroffers back to her manager and got him to agree to the price we felt was fair. The process after that went very quickly. We were never hassled by any of the staff regarding extra options or treatments. The dealership does have water, ice tea and coffee available if you want it, as well as snack and soda machines. More
