My wife and I went to check out a used Ridgeline they had available. As we entered the lot, we see the listed Ridgeline passing us by on the way in. Thinking we were mistaken, we asked the salesman about the one and only Ridgeline they had for sale in their inventory -- we find out it was just driven off the lot by the Finance Manager of the establishment, the same one we saw drive past us on the way into the lot -- for an "emergency" -- even though the Finance Manager's vehicle was on the premises. The salesman tried to get that finance manager to return with the vehicle but it was a no-go... she was already driving on the express lane and had no intentions of bringing the vehicle back until the following day. Fail. Anyway, we thanked the salesman for his help and went on our way. More

Even Late Night Service Got me a Good Deal !

I've never before visited Honda of Corona, but I made a quick stop late Sunday night approx. 40 minutes before closing time. I called in and told them what I wanted to see, Ryan had the car up front and ready for show, Joe was my salesman and was helpful and friendly, and Rafael handled the purchase and finance paperwork. The whole time I never felt like I was getting any of the typical "used car dealer garbage" that one sees at other places. They stayed open about an extra hour and a half for me, and I they even re-washed the car at something like 10pm, even thought the car already looked clean ...... Wow! It was a pleasant experience and I walked away knowing that I got a "fair" price for my purchase. Thank you guys for your service. More

Left after being yelled at by a sales manager I walked into this dealership ready to buy a specific car that I had found online. The salesman, Jeff, was easy to work with and polite. I would have I walked into this dealership ready to buy a specific car that I had found online. The salesman, Jeff, was easy to work with and polite. I would have been a very easy sale for him. I took it for a test drive and was ready to sign on the dotted line with no hassle. After collecting my signature and all my information and agreeing on a price and financing, I thought I was in the clear. However, as soon as they ran my credit, I was informed that the car had JUST been sold. This is where things went downhill. First of all, why did they need to run my credit if they were just going to inform me that the car had been sold? Why not tell me that the car was about to be sold, and let me look around at other vehicles or wait to see if the other buyer they had backed out? I started to leave the dealership, but then I walked back in to see if I could collect the form that I had filled out that had my social security number, address, phone, income, and the contact information for my employer as well as my mother, who I put as my emergency contact. I had approached Jeff as he was right inside his manager's office, and upon hearing my request, the manager immediately fired back that he couldn't do this with a very rude tone. Upon hearing his tone, I was a little more stern with my request, but after only getting about five words out, the sales manager, Ronaldo, started yelling at me. We went back and forth for a few minutes yelling in front of everyone else at the dealership until I stormed out. I have been a Honda owner before, and although I am still in the market for another Honda, I will absolutely never step foot in this dealership again if that's how sales managers treat prospective customers. I hadn't even met this guy before and he immediately was rude to me. I understand if they needed to keep the form, but he could have explained that to me in a calm, rational manner instead of yelling at me. More

Read the reviews carefully. They are true. The dealership puts on over-priced extras to increase their profits. Unfortunately, this is a common practice with Honda dealers. After reading the reviews, I was g puts on over-priced extras to increase their profits. Unfortunately, this is a common practice with Honda dealers. After reading the reviews, I was going to go to a different dealer until I read the reviews for Jim Rist. I am here to tell you that the reviews about Jim Rist are very true! My brother and I wanted to purchase a Honda Civic for our mom. After reading Jim Rist's reviews, I called him and I told him that I would purchase the car from this dealership ONLY IF I dealt with Jim exclusively -- no one else. Jim assured me that he would be my sales rep and he would treat me very well. My brother, mom, and I arrived and a sales rep asked if he could help us. I told him that we have an appointment with Jim Rist. We found Jim and asked him to show us red, white, and silver Civics that are base models with an automatic transmission and nothing else. Jim said "No problem" and walked us out to these three cars. They looked great! He pointed to the mud flaps and said that they are extras on the car, but all of the extras can be taken off if we don't want them. He was very nice about it. We liked the red Civic (looks burgundy to me) and I said "Write it up!" I said that I wanted to see the Invoice and the Costco price sheet, since I am a Costco member. Jim said "No problem" and brought me both sheets. There was an alarm and something else on the Costco sheet. I told him that I did not want the extras and Jim said that he would pull them off. After talking with my mom and brother in private, we decided to purchase the alarm as a "thank you" to Jim for his great service. Yes, the alarm was a little over-priced, but we wanted to say thanks to Jim and we needed an alarm anyway. Jim walked us over to the finance department and he said that the finance manager was going to offer us options at Costco pricing (extended warranty, etc) and it was our choice to purchase or pass. The finance manager was very nice and told us about the options. We considered them, but ended up passing on them. I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that working with Jim Rist was the best new car purchase experience in my life. I turn 50 years old tomorrow and I have purchased a lot of new cars for me and my family. I walked out of three Honda dealerships before I purchased a Honda Pilot for my wife. Even then, the dealer tried to inflate the Lease payments. On the other hand, Jim Rist proved to me that you can purchase a brand new car and have fun doing so! Jim took really good care of my brother, me, and my mom. Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with. I took a bunch of Jim Rist's cards and I plan to give them to anyone who is looking for a new car. Honda cars are extremely reliable and great cars. Now I have a great person who will sell me a Honda with great kindness and excellent integrity. From now on, I will purchase Hondas exclusively. Toyotas are nice, but Hondas are better! I will purchase Hondas because I can now purchase a new car and I will have fun with the experience because I have Jim Rist's information. He is a great guy and I personally vouch for him (and only him). More

I have bought 2 brand new cars from them this year. The first time I was here was in March 2013 and bought a Civic. They have the lowest quote that I received. When I got there the price of the car is alm first time I was here was in March 2013 and bought a Civic. They have the lowest quote that I received. When I got there the price of the car is almost $1K more because they said it had this and that. I told them take it off, don't want it and got the car with the quoted price. 2nd time around was for a Pilot, got a great price and actually no hassle this time around. Now tonight, got a quote and again lowest around. When I got there, they pretty much said the quote was outrageously low and try to sell me the car for about $2,200 more than the e-mail quote. Would have expected better service from them as I am a repeat customer. I walked away. I will never come back here again. So for those who think they are getting a good deal, you might be surprised when you actually go here. Buyer beware. More
