My opinion has changed and it's due to the service dept Service department has explained now to me that if I don't put enough miles on my car the car won't charge up. Doesn't matter that I drive it around t Service department has explained now to me that if I don't put enough miles on my car the car won't charge up. Doesn't matter that I drive it around town often, if I am not putting an x factor of miles on the car a day (which they define as needing to not be in town but on the interstate but no exact amount of miles) then my car will kill a battery and have issues of not starting. I do drive the car often I just buzz here and there and it doesn't give me a lot of mileage. He said it was due to having a lift on the back of my car. I explained I had another honda crv for 3.5 years with the lift on it, and then this honda crv with the lift on it for 2 years and never had this issue before. But the service department is adamant that regardless this has never happened before and old car vs new car (there's a 5 year difference between the honda crv's I have) that this is the reason my car is killing the battery and not starting up. His only solution is to keep a charger on the car at all times. Uh.. So apparently I should be buying a different brand of car? Something other than Honda if this is going to be a problem that has never happened before? There are so many things bothering me about this. Same exact way of life, nothing changed in the last near 6 years. Nothing was ever a problem until now. And now our life style is why our car is draining the battery. And their solution is to get a charger for it to keep it plugged in day and night? And their reason is no voltage regulator to help the car? I mean, what? I have bought 3 cars through the Venice dealership and I think Tim Platt is awesome there and had planned next year to buy another car through them. I'd buy from Tim again no problem and be happy to be in there. But unless the service department finds and fixes what is wrong with my car and not give me some story about how suddenly I have to drive my car for an hour of non-stop to get the car to recharge for the first time in over 2 years... then I will have no choice but to go elsewhere. Since we buy a car every 3 years... that's a shame. More

Excellent customer service This is the 3rd Honda we have purchased from Venice Honda. We have dealt with Michael Rodrigues all 3 times and have found him to be very knowledgeab This is the 3rd Honda we have purchased from Venice Honda. We have dealt with Michael Rodrigues all 3 times and have found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful. It is a friendly atmosphere and he wanted to make sure we were happy with our purchase. We have referred a good friend to him and he also was happy with Michael. He purchased a new Honda Pilot. If we are every in a need for another new vehicle we wouldn't hesitate to see Michael again.

Horrible experience My dad and I were looking for a car for my sister who is a first time driver not only were there three sales associates outside , two sales associate My dad and I were looking for a car for my sister who is a first time driver not only were there three sales associates outside , two sales associate literally ran alway from us. We went over to the guy who "looked like he wanted to help us " we were ready to make an offer and buy a car that very moment we asked what good offers he had ,he didn't even give us options or take us to look at cars he said "go on craiglist we don't sell $2000 cars here" this was honestly the worst experience we've had at a car dealership we've bought a car from Honda before but after this experience I will never do business with them again ,so disgusted with there customer service. I myself was looking in to trade in my 2007 Hyundai Elantra for a Honda Civic but they just lost two car sells! More
Best dealership experience! The guys at Venice Honda are the best, especially JIM TIMPSON. I called the dealer on a used mustang that was advertised on the web. Jim answered my c The guys at Venice Honda are the best, especially JIM TIMPSON. I called the dealer on a used mustang that was advertised on the web. Jim answered my call. I told him that I was interested in the Mustang and that I live 3 HOURS away. Jim went above and beyond. He took extra pictures and videos of the vehicle and emailed them to me so that I can have a better idea of the condition of the vehicle. I liked what I saw and asked him to provide me with some figures. He e-mailed me pricing on the vehicle. I told him that I would be driving up to see him to purchase this vehicle. When my family and I arrived Jim greeted us promptly and began the paper work on the purchase. We were done in less than an hour and driving back home. I would definitely recommended Jim and Venice Honda to anyone looking for a new or used car. We also dealt with Dan and Paul in finance, both great as well. Go here you won't be disappointed. More
Unethical Practices 3-13-17 talked to the finance person about buying a used 2016 toyota highlander. He said my credit score was not good enough for lowest used car inte 3-13-17 talked to the finance person about buying a used 2016 toyota highlander. He said my credit score was not good enough for lowest used car interest rate. (credit score is near 800) He said if I purchased a service warranty I could get the lowest used car interest rate and I could cancel it at any time and the refund would be applied to the loan. So I purchased the warranty for $2076. On 3-16-17, I returned to cancel the warranty. I dealt with the same finance person. He said it would take at least 3 months for the refund. I filled out the cancellation form and left. 7-13-17 called the sales manager to find out about my refund. Found out that I should have had my refund in 4-6 weeks. The sales manager agreed with me that the finance person lied about the interest being lower if I bought the warranty. The sales manager checked and cancellation form was never submitted. The sales manager submitted the cancellation form but never followed up with a courtesy call as promised. More
Fabulous Experience! Jim Timpson was an absolutely wonderful salesman. He really cares about his customers. He really fought for me, found the car in the color of my choi Jim Timpson was an absolutely wonderful salesman. He really cares about his customers. He really fought for me, found the car in the color of my choice when no other salesman or dealership would, and delivered the car to me with a full tank of gas. He stayed with me and showed me how to use all the features on the car until I was comfortable, A very nice purchase experience. More
