Honda of Sarasota

We live in Naples fl. About 2 hours away from where Michael is at Wilde Honda. My husband did absolutely everything with him via telephone, Internet and ups. It was so easy and simple it was finished i Michael is at Wilde Honda. My husband did absolutely everything with him via telephone, Internet and ups. It was so easy and simple it was finished in just a few days. I must say that I don't believe it would have happened as quickly and affitiantly had we not been using Michael. He was so professional and thorough with absolutely everything. And when I drove up to pick up my new car he was so patient and informative as he sat with me the whole time and educated me on my new vehicle. The dealers in our town were not willing to go the extra mile to get us what we were looking for and accommodate us. But Michael at Wilde Honda was. I recommend this dealer, especially Michael to anyone who is looking for a new or used vehicle in sw Florida. More

I found the car I wanted at this dealership with an internet search. I talked to the salesman Michael who was very helpful and informative about the vehicle. I relied on him to describe the car in det internet search. I talked to the salesman Michael who was very helpful and informative about the vehicle. I relied on him to describe the car in detail because I was traveling from Kentucky to make the purchase. I am very happy with my 2009 Honda Pilot. Working with the dealer and Michael was as pleasent an experience as purchasing a car can be. More

I have been a customer for many years. I now have two Honda's in my garage, both leased from Larry. This makes 10 cars that I have either bought or leased from Larry.

The Honda Dealership ( Wilde) it very very lucky to have such a knowledgeable and friendly Sales man working for them. I have recommended my next door neighbor to Larry who has gotten him just the Honda he wanted on a lease in less than 48 hours. NOW THAT'S SERVICE!! I would not hesitate to advise any of my friends to deal with Larry Biden. More

Quite simply, when a person walks into Wilde Honda, they are getting the unique experience of being welcomed as a friend, a neighbor, and as a human and being offered one of the strongest automotive product are getting the unique experience of being welcomed as a friend, a neighbor, and as a human and being offered one of the strongest automotive products : HONDA. My new car experience was a little unique. The company I work for does business with many of the local dealerships in Sarasota, Venice and Bradenton. So Iv gotten to see all the different dealers from a completely different angle than the average person. From the very beginning, Wilde Honda set itself apart. During business, the GM and Sales Managers ( Skip Strasburg, R.G. Stathas, J. Alexander, Craig McGregor) were just very genuine, very nice, very fair and very kind. Qualities that just are not displayed in most business dealings these days. After a couple years of seeing this consistancy of character from the leaders of this dealership, I knew without a shadow of a doubt, I would give my own personal business to these people. I have never owned a Honda before and had many questions. I was thrilled when Craig McGregor took time out of his busy day to speak with me regarding my future Honda. J Alexander, Craig, and R.G. each spoke with me several times, without pressure to me, about the many great vehicles offered by Honda. Even Skip kindly shared his personal experiences and really took the time to welcome me into what I'm calling the "Wilde Honda experience." Micheal Malmsbury is my salesman and he is fantanstic! I say 'is' because he has sent me a birthday card and still calls to make sure I'm loving my new 2011 CRV. I'm honestly stunned that Micheal has taken the time and still takes the time to do this act of recognition. He knowledgably explained the HONDA CRV to me and went out of his way for my convienance. I cannot stress enough how impressed and pleased I have been to have the experience of knowledgable and consistent advice from the Wilde Honda staff, especially, Maicheal Malmsbury. Even in the finance office at Wilde, I had the pleasant surprise in the face of Lon Vickery. In the past, the finance box has meant a stony-faced person pushing me into various and asundry extras. Lon explained options and chatted happily with me! Wow! I love...LOVE.. my 2011 Honda CRV that came fully equipped with comfort, vehicle traction control, fuel economy, and plenty of room for my son, the dog, and beach supplies! This experience was just completely unlike my previous car buying/leasing experiences. I left Wilde Honda with my new vehicle thrilled, informed and relaxed! I still consider this experience with Wilde as a miracle and example that happy people and happy 'cars' do exist! I have named my 2011 Honda CRV "Angel" and I take my "Angel" to Mark in the Wilde Honda service drive. I hope all my friends and associates get to have similar experiences! Thank you Wilde Honda!

My experience with Wilde Honda, specifically salesman Michael Malmsbury was excellent. He helped me find exactly what I needed without being pushy or high-pressure. As a widow, that was particularly imp Michael Malmsbury was excellent. He helped me find exactly what I needed without being pushy or high-pressure. As a widow, that was particularly important, and so different than some other dealerships I contacted. He explained everything in detail, called me and kept me up-to-date on the status of the car (which had to be ordered from another location), gave me a thorough "training" on all aspects of the car once it came in to the dealership, and continued to follow up even after I took delivery of the car. He is probably one of the best car salesmen I have ever dealt with, and I would highly recommend him to my friends. More

When shopping for cars in St Petersburg we had a real hard time finding a dealer we could trust. Selection was slim and nobody really seemed interested in helping us. We were referred to Skip Strasburge hard time finding a dealer we could trust. Selection was slim and nobody really seemed interested in helping us. We were referred to Skip Strasburger at Wilde Honda in Sarasota. From the first contact things just clicked. He made our experience a real pleasure. You could just tell that everyone was honest and the customer service was great. I will go back to Wilde Honda whenever I need another car. It was so worth the drive south. I highly recommend doing business at Wilde Honda Sarasota if you live anywhere in the Central West Coast of Florida. More
