Outstanding Experience at Valley Honda – Highly Recommended! I’m writing this review on behalf of my friend, who is driving his brand-new Honda CR-V as we head to a New Year’s celebration. Here’ Recommended! I’m writing this review on behalf of my friend, who is driving his brand-new Honda CR-V as we head to a New Year’s celebration. Here’s what he had to say about his experience at Valley Honda in Aurora, Illinois: “It all started on a Saturday night when I met Derek Lee. Derek was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He showed me cars I was considering, like the Honda CR-V and the Honda Accord, and worked with his manager to offer an excellent deal on the Touring trim. Although the deal was enticing, I wasn’t ready to decide and appreciated that Derek wasn’t pushy. He answered all my questions patiently, leaving a great first impression. I’ve always been drawn to the CR-V for its visibility and practicality. After the holiday, Derek followed up to check on my interest. His enthusiasm and willingness to help stood out, and he took the time to explain every detail. On my second visit, Dominic D'Alesio helped me explore additional trims of the CR-V and Accord EX-L. Dominic was professional, patient, and focused on finding the best fit for me. By the third visit, I decided on the CR-V but was unsure about the trim. Derek went above and beyond, even on a rainy day, to help me weigh the pros and cons of each option. He spent hours answering questions and ensuring I was comfortable with my decision. His dedication and expertise made a big difference. I also visited other dealerships during this process and was frustrated by their lack of engagement. Some added mandatory packages and hidden fees without transparency, even refusing to appraise my car unless I committed to purchasing. Derek, in contrast, was clear about all fees and explored various financial scenarios to ensure I fully understood my options. After completing the paperwork with the business department, Derek walked me through my new car, explaining its features, accessories, and how they could benefit me in different scenarios. His thoroughness and professionalism gave me confidence in my purchase. Honestly, if it weren’t for Derek and Dominic’s exceptional service, I might have gone elsewhere or even chosen a different brand. Their dedication made this the best car-buying experience I’ve ever had. Valley Honda’s service department is also outstanding—organized, spacious, and with great amenities. Even though it’s an hour away, I plan to return for future services. A huge thanks to Derek and Dominic, and the entire team for going above and beyond. If you’re considering a Honda, I highly recommend Valley Honda. You won’t be disappointed! Happy New Year! More

Honda Valley is about 10 minutes from my residence. Hence it’s very close by and convenient if and when I need service. The sales person was very informative, professional and courteous. Derek Lee answ Hence it’s very close by and convenient if and when I need service. The sales person was very informative, professional and courteous. Derek Lee answered my questions and showed me what I wanted to see. There was no hard core sales tactics which would be a big turn off for me. Derek did all the front end explanation and demo and Larry Linares did the closing when I went in to pick the car. More

To be honest we did not expect to walk out with a car but Darek Lee went the extra mile (pun intended) to walk us through options and make the process smooth. He was here for us through the whole car process Darek Lee went the extra mile (pun intended) to walk us through options and make the process smooth. He was here for us through the whole car process and made sure we understood the differences between the cars, the applications of the car features, and why the cars were priced the way they were. Darek really listened and applied our wants and needs in a car to find a car that matched our lifestyle, comfort, and price range. He went on multiple car rides with us and took any questions or concerns we had seriously rassuring us through the process. Darek is genuine and easy to talk to making an objectively difficult and at times stressful process much easier. I will be recommending him as well as valley Honda to friends and family going forward. More
