I am very pleased with my recent transaction with Preston Honda. I purchased a used 2011 Hyundai Limited AWD. Everyone that I came in contact with was very friendly, and low keyed. They reminded of an old Honda. I purchased a used 2011 Hyundai Limited AWD. Everyone that I came in contact with was very friendly, and low keyed.

This dealership exceeded my expectations. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. They helped me get to a payment I wanted and advised me on how to handle the warranty from my trade in.

Although it was a little far for me to get to (60 miles), I would definitely buy a car from them again in the future. More

This was the easiest, most pleasant transaction EVER. My husband and I were very pleased with Preston Honda - in particular James Preston. I contacted James via the website, and he responded immediately. husband and I were very pleased with Preston Honda - in particular James Preston. I contacted James via the website, and he responded immediately. We talked on the phone and set up and appointment to meet. James had a car ready to test drive when we got to the dealership. The vehicle we purchased was a 2012 CRV – it has only been on the market for a couple of days, but James was knowledgeable about the features and improvements made with this model. When negotiating price, they were very reasonable. No run arounds, no ridiculous sales tactics - straight to the point. The vehicle we wanted was not on the lot, but James worked to find us the model we wanted. On the day we picked up the vehicle, it was ready for us. Paperwork was, for the most part, ready to be signed. During the signing process, we were offered an extended warranty, which we declined, but it was not shoved down our throats. The whole signing process took less than 35 minutes. shew. Before driving off the lot, James set up some of the features of the car with us and went over how to operate the features. We are definitely recommending Preston Honda in New Castle and James Preston to any family or friends in the market for a car. The sales staff was very kind and hospitable. Thank you for such a pleasant experience!! -Matt & Emily More

I inquired on their website and received a response from the internet salesman from his Blackberry on Thanksgiving day! I drove to New Castle to the dealership on Saturday and was greeted with great hospitality and my salesman was very honest in his answers and gave me all the time I needed to come to an agreeable purchase price. The entire experience was very much appreciated and the customer service is the best I have experienced in a long time. I have had my Honda to drive over the weekend and I truly love it. Preston Honda has gained a new customer for oil changes and any other service my Honda may require. I highly recommend Preston Honda to everyone! Carole More

We thought we got a good deal---then.Trent Tanner our sales rep. said the people who had owned the Infiniti, had lost one of the Intelligent key system key fobs and that Preston Honda would replace it with a new one.Great! The next day Trent called me and asked if I would return to the dealership with the origional wheels from the car I had traded in as they had the Tire Monatoring Pressure System [TPMS].They would then take the TPMS off each wheel and mount them on the wheels of the car we had traded and give me back my wheels and THEY would save $800 by not having to buy new TPMS. I said sure and we did it that day. A few days later while showing my car to a friend,I discovered the spare tire was flat. It has a 3 inch gash in the side wall and the valve core is missing. Maybe they don't inspect the used cars before putting them on the lot for sale. Also, the Jack is missing. I called Trent the next day and explained the situation to him. He talked to someone and said they would get me a Jack. But, replacing the bad tire, that didn't look good. I have CALLED Trent 3 times about this matter [THEY never call me].To this date I haven't received ANYTHING. Date Sept. 16 2011. Glad I saved them the $800. Maybe they can buy someone else a tire.

Made an appointment for state inspection and oil change for 12 noon for my 2005 Honda S2000. I arrived right at noon and had my car checked in. In the time while I was waiting in the waiting area, two mo for 12 noon for my 2005 Honda S2000. I arrived right at noon and had my car checked in. In the time while I was waiting in the waiting area, two more Honda owners came in for the same service. The first person who came in was out in about a half an hour, while my car had not even been taken into the service bay yet. My car was finally taken into the service bay and I figured that I'd be out of there in no more than 45 minutes. While I was waiting, the technicians came and talked to a couple of other customers who were waiting for service to discuss the results of their complimentary 40 point check. Each of those customers had "issues" that were found and required additional service items to be performed at a cost. Also, each of them was informed that their calipers were hanging up and that they needed to pay an extra $80 to have them disassembled and lubricated. Each of them declined and were told that they really should have the service done or they risked needing a total overhaul and replacement of their braking system within the next year at a significant cost. I was mildly appalled at this sales tactic, but knew that it was xx. Fast forward a while and I had been waiting nearly two hours without any word on the progress on my car. Finally a tech came out and gave me the spiel that my calipers were hanging up and needed the $80 brake service. I was annoyed by the long wait already and just declined. I was then told that my windshield wipers would not pass inspection as is because they were streaking the windshield. The wipers on my car were Rain-X beam wipers and I never saw them streak even a little bit. I am very particular with my car and would have replaced them at the first sign of streaking. Being annoyed by the whole experience, I just told them to put on new wipers and put a sticker on it. The dealer did not have wipers in stock and told me that they were on their way. So, for $40 ($13 in labor), I was given the cheapest wipers I have ever seen. All in all, the service was the most expensive inspection and oil change I have ever received and I will not be returning. I understand that the S2000 is probably not something that all Honda dealers see with any regularity; however, I would expect replacement wipers of similar quality to OEM (at least). I asked for them to return my old wipers to me and put them on when I got home to see if they were streaking. To be honest, the brand new cheap-o's that they gave me streaked and there was absolutely no streaking from my old wipers. Very disappointed! edit: After posting this review, I received a call from the service department informing me that the service manager wanted to apologize for my inconvenience; but that they would *NOT* be able to meet my service needs in the future. In other words, I was told not to bring my car back to them. In owning several Hondas over the years and having them serviced at Honda dealerships, I have never in my life received this type of service nor this type of unprofessional treatment. A touch of class and a pinch of respect and maturity goes a long way in the business world. This establishment lacks all of these. More
