My purchase of a 2025 Ridgeline was a true team effort on the part of the group at Sarasota Honda. Beginning with Penny Pate (Sales associate) and extending all the way through Ben (Finance mgr), they worke More

We went to the dealer on a Sunday with a specific car in mind on their website. Everyone went above and beyond to make a deal and all was very fast like we were the only customers in the dealer. A deal was More

I received a phone call after I submitted this the first time. I was told I was out of line for it. Ben thought we had everything settled yesterday. I have pictures justifing I was definitely out if line. I was told I was too meticulous. Ben said he would take care of making it right. After 4 weeks and after me coming 2 weeks ago and it wasnt right, lets hope it finally is taken care of. I was even offered my old car back, which they refused to fix for over 8 months. I'm really curious why you wouldn't fix it in the first place. That is the only reason I traded it in. I was denied multiple times on a claim. I had a 3 year warrany on a car that was only 2 years old. I also had the Honda advantage that was supposed to cover everything on the enterior. The advantage thing was mandatory when I purchased that car 2 years ago. All I want is for my new car to look like a new car. My expectations are not to high. Let's hope it will be acceptable when I do go for the 3rd time.. Thank you Ben for calling me back and saying it will be taken care of.

One would think I would be a priority to get this resolved. It's been over 24 hours since I tried to pick up the car yesterday. Ben said he hasn't even looked at it yet. I'll update a review if and when you get my NEW car right. Blown away that you want me to take my old car back after you have refused to fix it for 8 months. I would have never traded it in, in the forst place. My old car had less than 5,000 miles in it. Please make me a priority. I would have never submitted a review, but for the last month you send me something every other day for me to do it. I received a text today for me to do one. So I did one. Your reviews are meant for you and other customers to know how our experience was. Well I told you how my experience was and has been. I am baffled how you expect me to except a brand new car with scatches and what looks like pizza grease and who knows what else. When you purchase a new car you expect it to look new. My expectations are not extreme. My expectations are what anyone with common sense would expect.
