Ken Garff Honda Riverdale

Buying a car can be very stressful. We visited several dealerships and test drove several cars. The level of sales person experience at some dealership varies widely. Some sale men don’t really know muc dealerships and test drove several cars. The level of sales person experience at some dealership varies widely. Some sale men don’t really know much about their cars when you ask them a question they say I will check and get back with you. I can read the sticker on the window. I expect my sales man to know more than what is on the sticker for the cars they are selling. At Ken Garff Honda the sales staff is very knowledgeable about their cars. When I had questions they had answers. They knew the ins and outs about their cars and are continuously educating their customers about the cars. Overall we are very happy with our purchase. We had four cars we were trying to choose from. We finally selected the Honda Civic for its good gas mileage, reliability, and roominess. Only complaint we had was it took 5 hours of negotiating to get a good price on the vehicle and that seemed excessive. More

The reason I only rated the overall experience as "Good" relates to an issue I had with the final contract for sale. The salesman was great and his price estimate was accurate. But because the acce "Good" relates to an issue I had with the final contract for sale. The salesman was great and his price estimate was accurate. But because the accessories were not installed by the day we were supposed to pick up the vehicle, a delivery was set up. This meant the paperwork was handled by Finance and they called me over the phone to go through it. Upon delivery, the representative had me start signing papers. I ran across an item labeled VTR (with no explanation) on the contract. With tax it was over $400. It was a charge for "Auto Shield" a vehicle tracking/recovery program. I never asked for this and I don't recall it being explained on the phone (and if it was, it was very cursory and I would have asked if it was additive in price). I certainly don't recall it being pointed out as a $400 charge. I live in what is probably the lowest crime rate city in the US, and in the safest neighborhood. Even when we lived in LA I would never have agreed to this charge. I was lucky to have caught this charge and eventually got Finance on the phone and had them drop it. Nonetheless, the feeling I was left with was that they were trying to slip one past me for another $400 onto the purchase price for something of no value to me. Everything else about the experience was great, but this left a very sour taste in my mouth. More

My sales person, Ryan Kowalczyk at Ken Garff Honda Ogden, was exceptional! Mine was an unsurpassed sales experience. Your whole team (sales, transportation, finance, cashier) was extremely helpful. One was exceptional! Mine was an unsurpassed sales experience. Your whole team (sales, transportation, finance, cashier) was extremely helpful. One unique aspect of the sale is that I am in Okinawa, Japan. I have never visited the dealership. I was able to get the car I wanted, when I wanted, at the price I wanted, have my son fly in from Japan, pick up the car and drive off the lot without a single hiccup. All coordinated in less than a week. Wow! Due to the time difference being on the other side of the world, Ryan even spent some of his own personal time working with me when he was not on the clock in order to accommodate my schedule. Ryan Kowalczyk did an outstanding job of orchestrating the whole evolution! Joe R. More

Mr. Herbert was very professional and helpful. My parents were in the market for what they thought would be the purchase of a certified used CRV, but in the end, and with Mr. Herbert's recommendation, they p were in the market for what they thought would be the purchase of a certified used CRV, but in the end, and with Mr. Herbert's recommendation, they purchased a new 2011 CRV. Mr. Herbert asked right away what it was that we were looking for in the vehicle we wanted to purchase, and if the used CRVs that they had did not have the features we wanted, then we should consider buying a new CRV, with only the features that we did want. GREAT IDEA! Everyone at Ken Garff of Riverdale was very professional. We felt that purchasing the CRV at Ken Garff of Riverdale was without a doubt the best decision since they are close to my parent's home of residence and they had had good experience before in this dealership when they took in their other Honda vehicle - Civic for service after a minor accident. Knowing that they could take the CRV for service at Ken Garff of Riverdale will definitely give ease my parents anxiety when it comes to maintenance of their new CRV. Thank you very much, The Barboza Flores Family More

Before I realized that their new motto is "we hear you" that was what I thought about Sheldon. When I first came in I had a list of what I wanted in a car. He listened carefully and then showed me t you" that was what I thought about Sheldon. When I first came in I had a list of what I wanted in a car. He listened carefully and then showed me the car he thought matched what I had said. Great job! I spent a lot of time doing research after that first visit, looking at other brands and dealers, but in the end I got a CR-V which was exactly what he showed me my first time in. He didn't waste my time or his trying to push me into things that were nothing like what I wanted as salesmen at other dealers have done. He was very knowledgable, helpful, patient, and friendly. He kept in touch but didn't make a pest of himself. Each time we talked I was able to refine my preferences. When just the car for me came in to their inventory, he immediately called me. What a find! I would recommend him to anyone. Pretty much each person I came in contact at the dealership was helpful and friendly. More

I just want to share the experience I had with recent purchase of Accord from this dealership. Initially much before visiting to different showrooms for test drive, I was alarmed by my friends that I sho purchase of Accord from this dealership. Initially much before visiting to different showrooms for test drive, I was alarmed by my friends that I should be really cautions while talking to Salesman as they always put pressure to pick up a Car. I stay in South Jordan & was calling all the dealership or visiting some of them. I came across Riverdale & gave a call to find out the Best deals. They gave me the excellent service & the deal I was looking for. I never felt any pressure & Skip explained me the whole process. Financial specialist explained me the whole process of payment & there was no hidden surprises for me. I would like to convey special Thanks to Skip Wilson for his excellent service. He really has lot of patience & explained everything slowly & never was in a hurry. I always felt that he wanted to help me with all my demands. It was because of Skip’s honest talks which makes me happy & I never felt any pressure. I drove all the way from South Jordan to Riverdale which takes close to 1 hr & felt it was worth spending. I am recommending all my friend Skip’s & JJ’s Name for there purchases & will also come in Future. More

We were very nervous about buying our first car.The first two car dealers we went to made us seriously rethink the whole car buying experience. Just dreadful! But Jason Williams was the reason we decided to two car dealers we went to made us seriously rethink the whole car buying experience. Just dreadful! But Jason Williams was the reason we decided to stop buy KG in Riverdale. We contacted him from another state and told him what we were looking for. He was wonderful about staying in contact with us and giving us updates on inventory. He never made us feel pressured. When we stopped by Ken Garff of Riverdale we were already frazzled and not sure what to expect. We met Ryan, their new sales person and our concerns were immediately put to rest. They go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and walk you through any concerns or questions, and believe me we had lots of questions. Ryan was so friendly and very easy to talk to. He stayed with us through the whole process. We then met Phil for the financial part. He was great! He worked very hard to get us exactly what we needed. I would highly recommend going to Ken Garff Riverdale if you are interested in buying a vehicle. They work very hard to get you what you need at the price that you need, without making you feel like your being ripped off. We Love our new car and plan to go back for all our future car buying needs. Thank You KGOR! More
