Honda of Sarasota

I have been using their service department for the last 3-4 years. "Guy" has been my service advisor. I am always impressed by the service I receive: high quality, top-notch service. They are very ethical 3-4 years. "Guy" has been my service advisor. I am always impressed by the service I receive: high quality, top-notch service.

My wife and I were recently in the market for a new vehicle and I sent an e-mail to Wilde Honda to see if they did leases. Shortly after the e-mail I got a call from Michael Malmsbury who confirmed tha vehicle and I sent an e-mail to Wilde Honda to see if they did leases. Shortly after the e-mail I got a call from Michael Malmsbury who confirmed that leases were available and we made an appointment for the next afternoon.Michael was very friendly and professional and patiently took me through several options and took me for a test drive in a civic which I loved. I decided that based on the length of the lease and the money I would still owe if I chose to buy the car at the end of the lease that it made more sense for me to buy. I told him I wanted to look at some other makes and models before deciding and he was fine with that, no pressure to try to get me to buy right then. Before leaving I called my wife who is a honda fan and we decided to buy the car. I financed with honda so there was quite a bit of paperwork to review and sign. After the deal was completed and the car had been registered to me we made an appointment to pick up the car the next afternoon. When we arrived to pick up the car my wife was, to say the least, less than thrilled with the color I had chosen. She asked Michael if she could choose another color which meant re-doing all the paperwork and he cheerfully said yes, that he absolutely wanted us to be completely satisfied with our new vehicle. He arranged for all the paperwork to be re-done and had a sense of humor and complete patience the whole time. My wife is thrilled with the car and told me at home that night that Michael was the nicest sales person she had ever dealt with. So if you need a new car and want a great car at a great price with outstanding warranty options, go to Wilde and ask for Michael. More

I've been searching for a very particular car - make/model/year of pre-owned Hyundai, not a Honda - for a month. Visited, talked and communicated to more than 15 dealers. When I saw first reply fro make/model/year of pre-owned Hyundai, not a Honda - for a month. Visited, talked and communicated to more than 15 dealers. When I saw first reply from Michael Malmsbury at Wilde Honda in the email, I could immediately tell I am dealing with intelligent person. He was right on spot to my questions, you can tell he has read very carefully my own offer I have sent to the dealership. He was straightforward and direct, really open. He understood I was a very informed buyer and talked to me business. I have replied with my position and left it open for negotiations. Several minutes after I sent the email, I got a call from Michael and we arranged to meet so I can test drive the car. At the negotiations Michael showed extreme professionalism and hospitality, changing my opinion about an industry with a very bad reputation (confirmed to some extent by my own experience). Again, no useless games, not even a trace of sleaziness and artificial pressure I have seen with other car dealer salesmen. Next morning I was in the back for the loan. Mike was very patient with a few delays in the process, he stayed with us and offered not just drinks and snacks, but shared stories from his life and listen to us too. I am really amazed by how smooth the process was, by everyone we saw in this dealership - the way they talk to client, the way they approach offers. People usually are looking to buy a particular car they like in advance. But I won't be surprised if the next car I buy will be determined by the experience with this dealer, not the make. And no wonder - with the unbelievable level of service and openness to negotiate reasonably and realistically I saw in Wilde Honda and especially Michael Malmsbury. You just know you will get the best deal and be treated as real customer - something that you won't find in most of the other dealerships. More

Our third vehicle with Wilde, our second Honda. Knew the car we wanted to lease, contacted Halim who sold us our Civic SI in 2008. He found exactly what we wanted, at the price we wanted. Skip helped get car we wanted to lease, contacted Halim who sold us our Civic SI in 2008. He found exactly what we wanted, at the price we wanted. Skip helped get American Honda to approve the lease quickly. No pressure, just help. We looked at other cars, but decided on the Honda because of Wilde Honda and the people there. We have sent 7 people to Wilde Honda to purchase or lease vehicles and they have all been treated with professionalism. My father-in-law purchased his used Honda at Wilde and has since received excellent service from their service department. Truly a class organization, starting from Mark Wilde and filtering down to people like Halim and Skip with Honda and David Trimble with Wilde Lexus. No one should fear the experience of leasing or purchasing a car; just go to a Wilde dealership. Rich & Karen More

After visting several dealerships and experiencing the usual car salesmen tricks, I finally made my way to Wilde Honda. I feel as though they went above and beyond to set themselves apart from the averag usual car salesmen tricks, I finally made my way to Wilde Honda. I feel as though they went above and beyond to set themselves apart from the average dealership. Not only did they meet my every need , they also made me feel like a valued customer. Steve Himmel, our salesman, was very honest and pretty much bent over backwards, along with his sales managers, to offer us a deal we could not refuse. I am thankful to now be the proud owner of a Honda Accord and based on my experience I will now be a lifelong customer. Thanks to Steve for making my Christmas a little bit brighter! More

I have given a 5 rating because Honda's service department is a pleasure to do business with. Our family are Honda lovers and have owned/leased 3 Honda Civics, 2 Honda Accords, and 2 Honda CRV's!! department is a pleasure to do business with. Our family are Honda lovers and have owned/leased 3 Honda Civics, 2 Honda Accords, and 2 Honda CRV's!! In the service department, George Cermack took care of my Accord and CRV. He was professional, pleasant, thorough and very knowledgeable and helpful. I had the oil changed in both cars and I did not have a long wait, my cars were clean afterwards and George was friendly and helpful. I will come back and ask for him again. I brought the 2010 Accord in to have scratches removed (it is black, and shows scratches), I asked for George Cermack and he took such good care of my car, it now looks brand new again, no scratches on it at all. Thank you Wilde Honda and thank you George!! More
