Northside Honda

We foolishly took our vehicle to Benson Honda when we experienced problems with the ignition on our Honda Pilot. They replaced the ignition cylinder but did not provide new keys as they said they would. experienced problems with the ignition on our Honda Pilot. They replaced the ignition cylinder but did not provide new keys as they said they would. As usual, their prices are outrageous and agreed upon discounts were not honored. More

This dealer should not be in business. They agreed on a price then charge us another price. Their team woos you around then the finance person does not go over the details but just sign here, sign here. Wh price then charge us another price. Their team woos you around then the finance person does not go over the details but just sign here, sign here. When we release what their did it was too late. They also did not bother trying to get us 1.9% interest but insisted that we only qualify for 4.9%. We needed the car and did not pay attention. BUT I feel they robbed us of $3500. I wrote about the way I was treated to Mr. Takanobu Ito - President & CEO -Honda Motor Ltd - Japan, Mr. Tetsuo Iwamura - President & CEO - Honda North America Inc - Torrance CA to complain about the dealer. I was contacted by the main office in California who helps me recover some of my money thru canceling unnecessary extra insurance. The dealer say they would reimburse us but I had to call back California 4 times before I got all my money back as the dealer gave the money back a little at a time. The dealer almost never return my phone call, from the manager the finance manager to other people I email or left message. Only when I threat them to re-write to Japan and CA did I get action from them. The dealer also lie about our credit as 2 month after buying the car I got re-finance at 2% with one phone call thru RBFCU. THIS DEALER DOES NOT DESERVE TO REPRESENT HONDA THEY ARE A BUNCH OF CROOKS, LIARS AND CONS ARTISTS. My suggestion go anywhere but there ! More

Saturday morning I woke up and decided that it was time for a new car. I went to the internet, did some research and contacted USAA for a pre-approval and used their car buying services. Within a few mi for a new car. I went to the internet, did some research and contacted USAA for a pre-approval and used their car buying services. Within a few minutes I received the lowest price for the 2013 Honda Cross Tour that I felt comfortable with. I printed my USAA Car Buying Certificate along with the pre-aproved Electronic Check and drove up to the dealer. Upon arrival I was met by Mr. Aaron Salazar (Sales Consultant) who took me to their new cars lot located just 1/2 mile from the dealership and showed me three cars, I test drove them and decided to go for the Cross Tour after his professional attitude and knowledge of each vehicle convinced me I have made the right decision. Through life I have purchased cars and this time has been the most rewarding one due to Mr. Salazar's positive attitude and willing to go the extra mile for me. Although the Benson Dealership has many professional Consultants I can only strongly recommend Mr. Salazar, it was a pleasant experience having him as my consultant. The next phase was seeing Ms. Kimberly Roland (Finance Manager), it was almost 8:00 PM, Saturday night and she took care of me as if I was her first customer of the day, very friendly, great smile, professional and answered all my questions related to my purchase order and vehicle registration/plates. Overall experience is that I will purchase another vehicle at Benson Honda and strongly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a great car and good price. More

This was the worst customer service I had ever experienced!! From the moment my dad and I walked in, you can just tell that they had a bad attitude. One salesman came up to us without a smile or e experienced!! From the moment my dad and I walked in, you can just tell that they had a bad attitude. One salesman came up to us without a smile or even introducing himself to us to ask us what we needed. We asked where the used Honda Accords were and he just said "up there", basically not making an effort to try to show us where. As I was asking him questions, he was just very rude and seemed bothered that I was asking him questions. Never once did I see this man smile. I asked him about certain Accords that I saw online and he didn't seem like he knew where any of them were. He finally went inside to figure out where his inventory was. He came back and just said "we sold it" or that they weren't there. He asked me if I wanted to see a white Accord and I told him I wasn't interested in that color. He then asked me if I wanted to see other cars that they had on another lot so I agreed. We then went to the other lot and looked around. I saw one that I was interested in but it did not have a price. I asked him what the price was and he said " I don't know somewhere in the thousands" Okay. So I asked him again and he snapped at me saying that he needed to know first if I liked it because he did not want to waste his time showing me a car I did not like. I was offended when he said that and we just decided to leave. I will not tolerate someone being rude to me when I am going to be making a very big purchase. I decided to take my $20,000 I had saved up and bought a car from Fernandez Honda for a great deal and with exceptional customer service! More

Very dishonest with a trade in price about 4 thousand dollars below Edmunds or Kelly blue book fair valve; limited inventory; I will never buy from or recommend this dealership ever. dollars below Edmunds or Kelly blue book fair valve; limited inventory; I will never buy from or recommend this dealership ever.

I came to Benson Honda to test drive my final two choices for my new car. Jay Conley was the sales person who helped me. He was friendly and accommodating to our schedule. He answered all of our questions for my new car. Jay Conley was the sales person who helped me. He was friendly and accommodating to our schedule. He answered all of our questions and more importantly to me, he treated me with respect and professionalism. As a 40-something yr. old female who has bought all of her own vehicles, it is a bit of a sore spot when a sales person ignores me in favor of the man accompanying me or presents a vehicle based on the cosmetic, superficial aspects such as mirrors and cup holders. After my test drive and final decision, I shopped dealerships looking for the best deal. Benson, through Jay, came back with the best deal by far. They were also the only dealership to go after and procure the EXACT vehicle I wanted. I will definately recommend Benson Honda and Jay Conley for his professionalism and customer service. More

My salesperson was Jay Conley. I was very impressed by Jay's professionalism. My employment involves initiation of new business relationships, reviewing current relationships and the forensic review of pr Jay's professionalism. My employment involves initiation of new business relationships, reviewing current relationships and the forensic review of prior relationships. I have found that most problems in business relationships begin before any documents are signed. Jay did what I train employees to do. 1) make sure you understand what the other party wants and epects 2) know what is is negotiable and what is not 3) clearly communicate what is possible and what is not, ASAP. 4) work in earnest to make the sure other party is satisfied before signatures are exchanged. Jay took the time to understand the transaction I wanted. He accepted what I delcared as non-negotiable and provided me immediate feedback on what was possible and what was not. I have the wherewithal to do the deal I want, where and when I want. I chose Benson Honda because Jay Conley was the professional he was. 4-03-13 This matter is beyond the control of the sale staff but affects my business relationship with Benson Honda. Benson Honda failed to remit funds owed me in a timely. I agreed to a rather long period of 10 days to receive a check from the sale of a vehicle to the dealership. Seventeen days after the sale, I still don't have the check. No calls from the department responsible for payment. No more business from me. I get my check and license plate and we are done. Best wishes in your future relations. JWI More
