Showcase Honda

Best car buying experience we have ever had. Everyone from the GM, Tom, to our salesman, Manny, to our finance person, Andrew, were incredible. Even while sitting in the waiting area other people workin from the GM, Tom, to our salesman, Manny, to our finance person, Andrew, were incredible. Even while sitting in the waiting area other people working in the dealership would walk by and smile or ask how we were doing. Even the lot attendant wished us a good day. Every one seemed truly happy we were they buying a car from their dealership. Would recommend Showcase to everyone I know. More

Deneen Smeraldo was the only dealer rep to call me out of 3 dealerships contacted on the web. She was great to work with. We received a fair trade in and a fair new car price. George Bell finalized the pape 3 dealerships contacted on the web. She was great to work with. We received a fair trade in and a fair new car price. George Bell finalized the paperwork and was professional and knowledgeable. More

I had the worst experience with this dealership and believe they tried to commit consumer fraud by failing to disclose hail damage material to the value of the vehicle!!!! I found a vehicle online that believe they tried to commit consumer fraud by failing to disclose hail damage material to the value of the vehicle!!!! I found a vehicle online that I was really interested in and communicated with Aaron through email for about a week. We came to an agreement on a price (range) and I made an appointment to come in. The entire time, he was pressuring me to come in sooner and pushing to buy the vehicle (you'll know why in a minute). I decided to actually buy the vehicle after coming down after work one evening and spent 4 hours negotiating the price. By the time I signed the contract, it was dark, the dealership was closed, and I took the vehicle home. In the morning light, I noticed there was hail damage all over the roof and hood. This was never disclosed to me, online, or in any other way and was not apparent at night, when I signed the contract. When I brought the vehicle right back (after Brian barked at me on the phone to bring it back), I was left sitting there for an hour while the whole sales department "looked" for Brian, who in the end never even took a minute to come out to speak with me. The only positive part of my experience was Thomas (the fin. manager) who felt really sorry for me sitting there for so long, so he worked with me to get my money and trade-in back and somewhat helped to diffuse the situation. The next day, they called me and offered to "fix my CRV". I got excited that they were finally going to try and make things right, but again, I discovered that by "fixing your CRV", they meant only "fixing the hood" and not all the damage. Common - they were trying to sell me a damaged vehicle for full price! It became obvious to me that deceit is how they do their business!!! This dealership will try to take advantage of you in any way they can! Please go to a more reputable dealer! I also want to mention that since then, I bought a perfect CRV for the same price, but without hail damage, aggressive and rude salesmen, lies, and trickery from a dealership in Superstition Springs! The difference in customer experience is like night and day. I hope I can help someone avoid the horrible experience I went through by writing this review. More

Worse. Dealership. Ever. I bought two used cars from Showcase and both car batteries were dead within two weeks. They indicated they would reimburse me AND NEVER DID. They wouldn't return my calls and c Showcase and both car batteries were dead within two weeks. They indicated they would reimburse me AND NEVER DID. They wouldn't return my calls and completely ignore me and my family. Buyer beware. These guys don't care about people, just sales and $$. More

We were looking for a 2011 CR-V for our daughter. I emailed several Honda dealers asking if anyone could meet a specific price. The only one who met our request was Deneen at Showcase Honda. However, a emailed several Honda dealers asking if anyone could meet a specific price. The only one who met our request was Deneen at Showcase Honda. However, as I researched the Showcase Honda Dealership, I read several negative reviews and became skeptical if I wanted to do business with them but because of the significant disparity in pricing, we decided to give it a try. To our delight, everything went perfect. Deneen met us at the front door. She was very helpful, patient and informative. Then it was on to George Bell in the Finance Dept. One of the things I liked about George was that he took no for an answer. He got us in and out of the dept in 35 minutes. The whole process at Showcase Honda took just under 2 hours. We drove in with anxiety and skepticism and drove out with a new CR-V and a great experience. More

We leased a 2007 CR-V in December of 2006. We were looking for another vehicle and called Alek to look at new a Civic and a new Fit.. Decided on the Civic.. If I had the pricing info before we went in looking for another vehicle and called Alek to look at new a Civic and a new Fit.. Decided on the Civic.. If I had the pricing info before we went in it would have been helpful.. The finance department was where it became very frustrating.. I am sure we would have been better off getting finance prior to the dealer.. More

I am very upset with my visit to Showcase Honda. I went down there one day to test drive a vehicle and after the test drive, I was asked to give them a price range of what it would take to put me in the ca down there one day to test drive a vehicle and after the test drive, I was asked to give them a price range of what it would take to put me in the car, and I gave them a number and they said it was doable. Before I left, they gave me a car fax for the car. Upon return in a few days, I discovered that they gave me the car fax for the wrong car to mask that the vehicle had been in an accident, and when I went in to the office to "talk numbers" they set the sales price at the value they said I could get for out the door price (which was $2100 more than what the car was listed for) and then they refused to budge on the price. The only bright spot was the salesman Cody who was very polite and honest, unlike everyone else that I dealt with. More

We had recently purchased a 2007 Honda Accord from Showcase Honda, our purchase was great. We love our Honda. We had only had is a short time when the battery failed. We spoke with Bob in the servic Showcase Honda, our purchase was great. We love our Honda. We had only had is a short time when the battery failed. We spoke with Bob in the service department, and he gave us a discounted rate on the battery since we had not had the vehicle for very long. The service department is fantastic, they are friendly and accommodating. Their new service area offered a comfortable place to sit with local and national news on very nice televisions,as well newspapers and coffee and nice selection of pastries. The best part about visiting Showcase Honda, is that they are fast! We got to Showcase at 7:20 am and left at 8:04 am, I made it to work on time that morning! Every time I have been to their service department it has been a wonderful experience, thanks to their outstanding customer service and fair pricing! Thank you More

This is long but if you read it you may save money and headache. In October 2009, SRS light was on and even though it was listed as a recall item on the Honda website, this dealer stated my problem was n headache. In October 2009, SRS light was on and even though it was listed as a recall item on the Honda website, this dealer stated my problem was not covered and would need to pay 600 dollars to have it fixed. They also managed to find 1800 dollars worth of items that needed to be replaced. I initially asked for replacement of belts and hoses along with addressing the SRS light. They assured me that my belts and hoses were fine but that I needed to do all the other repairs immediately. I had the work done. In April 2010, the same service department tells me that my belts and hoses are absolutely horrible and need to be replaced immediately. They had even given me a treatment plan at the previous visit that indicated that my hoses and belts were just fine. The service manager insists that if the tech says it, it's true and that I was probably told that they should be changed but chose not to have that service until later. I pointed out that the treatment plan clear shows which items had been recommended that I delayed and that item was the transmission flush. Now at this visit, I wanted to get one of their major service checks along with the automatic transmission flush because I am moving across the country and want to make sure everything is done. This time they have included the repair of the belts and hoses along with ball bearings and several other items to the to tune of another 1800 dollars. I called back to point out that the blades were not changed nor are the parts listed on the receipt for several other major service items in the 105,000 mile service. They didn't even wash the car. I believe if you pay attention to the small detail you will pay attention to the large detail. Now on my way across country my car makes this noise when I turn my wheel that I have never heard before. The wiper blades that were suppose to be part of that major service but were absolutely useless against the rains I encountered in Texas. When I complained to the service dept, the service dept asked me to bring the car back in and he would changed the blades and wash the car only but that the work was done. Fast forward to my new home in florida. It's July, I simply want an oil change prior to another trip this time to CT. The service dept shows me my transmission fluid and it is chocolate brown. I show him the receipt that indeed the transmission was just flushed in April and even with a cross country trip it shouldn't be needed again. We call the other dealer and this is where I lose all respect for the showcase honda service dept. Darren Gaines of Showcase Honda has me and the service dept at the Wesley Chapel Honda dealership on the phone with no intention of resolving this issue. Initially, he said that the way he would resolve this would be to bring the car back. He also said that the florida dealership was probably just trying to get more money from me, I would need to go to a 2nd dealership because he didn't believe them. (to be fair the Wesley Chapel dealership did not have a service manager available which aggravated this situation) We offered to send a phone picture of the transmission fluid but he would not accept it. He said that even though the receipt looked like a drain and fill, his dealership did the flush (based on his word alone) and that you can't go by the receipt. If you can't go by the receipt, what can you go buy to show what was done. He also said that since I used a coupon at my previous visit even if he did cover the charge the florida dealership would have to take a discount as well and if they didn't then I was out of luck. He insisted that I go to another dealership because he could not work out a deal with this one. How is the fact that you can't work out a deal between dealerships, the customer's problem. I thought surely one of these dealerships is going to do make this right. I called Honda.com to find a district manager for the service department and the case manager from Phoenix who was handling this case said I will let you vent about this situation but there are many variables here. There is nothing we can do with the individual dealerships. To me this was not about the money even though if you spend 3600 on a car, you expect the work to be done, this was about poor customer service. I go to the dealer because I expect superior car in comparison a shop on the corner. Showcase Honda made me rethink using a honda dealership for service as well as buying another honda 2nd to poor such customer service with not even an effective means to complain. I can still hear Mr Gaines explaining to be about how he has to watch out for his dealership and the florida dealership has to watch out for their dealership. I said what about the customer here. No one at showcase honda cared about the customer here. The Wesley Chapel dealership didn't go out their way to make the situation right either. The story ends with me paying another 169 dollars for a new transmission flush and new wiper blade inserts for about another total of 210 dollars. Both of which were just paid for at Showcase Honda less than 60 days prior. STAY AWAY FROM SHOWCASE HONDA. More
