It's seriously been one thing after another with this place! I bought my car in November 2018 and had various issues with the entire buying experience. They did their best to make things "right" so I will not discuss the 4 other issues I've had, in order to maintain my integrity when apparently they do not have it. The purpose of this post is to explain that after 2 months, I am STILL am dealing with issues from this purchase. I received my registration for my new vehicle in the mail yesterday. Low and behold, it has the WRONG license plate number on it. I gave the salesman (Elias) my license plate on the day I finally received my vehicle and asked him to make sure it had the correct license plate (I had two cars, so I wanted to make sure they used the correct plate as the other car was a lease and was heading back) The salesman even put the correct license plate on the car himself. Maybe it's my fault that I didn't ask to see the registration paperwork before driving off of the lot. So of course when I saw the wrong license plate number on the registration, I wasn't and still not very happy. I called and all they have told me is that they have a copy of the license plate (the wrong one) so they then transferred me to the woman (Odama) in charge of finance and she listened and then asked to call me back after she does some research. I have been ILLEGALLY driving my new car for the last 2 months due to their carelessness and additionally, I am wasting even more time trying to get everything legal now. I'm not saying don't buy a vehicle here, but I am saying if you are risky enough to do, double and triple check their work throughout the process. I will post an update as to whether or not this issue has been resolved by them or if I have to go to the DMV and do it myself. UPDATE: I had to call back 5 hours later as Odama did not return the phone call as promised earlier that day. I ended up leaving a voicemail and she then returned the call when I was unable to answer. Regardless she is blaming me for the incorrect tag being registered. Saying that her , Elias (the absolute worst salesman I have ever worked with and a Eddie Velez) said that the tag that was registered was the tag that was on the vehicle that I turned in (funny bc I did not turn my vehicle that I was driving at the time until a week after I received my new car) the plate I gave them was the one I asked to have registered. I'm frankly fed up at this point. They have told me to go to the DMV MYSELF to have the correct tag registered which IS THE TAG THEY PUT ON MY CAR BEFORE LEAVING THE LOT. They should rewind their cameras to that day and they will see their incompetent Elias screw the plate on my vehicle! Please please please do yourself a favor and triple check their work. I know I will NEVER be back there to purchase a vehicle ever again. Second UPDATE: I went to the DMV who told me to go to the tax collector who then told me that I needed a letter from the dealership explaining that the tag needed to be changed. I then called Odama back and she then said that they would be able to give me a new plate but I wouldn’t be able to keep the one I have. So even though I’m still not happy with the result I drove to the dealership to finally settle this. Once I got to the dealership I Odama comes out of the elevator and says that the plate would be here Monday morning. I asked her “why was I asked to drive here then” and she said that “she thought I would be able to have the plate today,” so I then asked her, “am I supposed to continue driving illegally until Monday?” She then left to see if she could get me a temporary tag until then. Just checking out now, will have to come back on Monday at some point to pick up the actual license plate.

Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!!Bad Faith!! I’ve called 5 times to make a complaint about St.Petersburg AutoNation Ford and yet been able to speak with anyone other than a call center rep, says all the can do is take a message and they pass it on and someone will be in touch! When? I’ve left 5 messages!!!! Updated 11/13/2018 Warranty is a joke, at purchase they tell you it covers just about everything but interior issues! It doesn’t cover woorped rotors and rear brake sensors or any other issue I have had with this vechile! I’ve taken car into shop 4 times in the 3 months I’ve had it. Always get the run around. Called AutoNation customer service 5 times to file a compliant and it’s a call center all they do is take a message and not let you talk to anyone, but someone will call you back! When? September 13 Bought a Audi A6 on a Friday everything seemed good at the purchase until the follow day when actually started driving the car, 1. All speakers are blown. 2. Front right tire makes a metal ratoling sound as if it’s grinding 3. Dash vibrates extremely. 4 engine smells burnt after driving. 5. Passenger airbag turns on and off nonstop. Sunday the sales Manager called me to follow up and make sure everything is alright, I told em about a few issues his response take it and let the service department look at it and we’ll handle it! Yeah that didn’t happened, the conversation was denied as if it didn’t happen ! Took there the following day Monday September 16 they told me they had no appointments I’d have to make it for another day, explain I wanted to return the car they needed to look at it said I’d be in the return period still since I made an appointment.. the time I finally got an appointment one worker slipped up and said “ we had openings yesterday! Lies After having the car for 14 days I have realized there are major issues wrong with this car, in the car fax that they gave me prior to buying it stats oil and filter change, and that’s what they told me but under the seat I found a receipt with exact date and mileage from the car fax that stats the O-rings, transmission mounts and engine mounts were replaced just two weeks before I purchased it. It was labeled Tech Copy as if I wasn’t suppose to find it!BAD FAITH! So why on the car fax does it state that the service was a oil and filter change? Everyone at the dealership was extremely nice and worked well with me, but these issues need to get resolved and they’re not! I would highly recommend shopping else where than AutoNation, I also had to pay 70$ for them to Look over car and tell me that it be $3,000 to fix a few of these issues including speakers, and that Auto Nation would not cover. So Basically i paid $18,000 for a car that has major issues with no speakers...

Let me tell u my experience with auto nation Honda in Hollywood; i am very happy with the service i got from Alex; the sales person who was very kind and had a lot of patient with us, he worked with us and was very understanding; didn't tried to push us to buy, and finally we did lease a 2016 Honda oddessy, my only problem is that after 6 months of having the car i found out that there was a paint touch up where's the back driver side tail light , my other car shop said that its look like a touch up paint or small cover of scratches that probably happened when the car was parked at the dealership or when they transferred it from one place to another; which is not a big deal but i wanted to make sure that i will not get penalty for it. when i went back to auto nation to show it to them to make sure i will not be charged for that when ill return the car the sales manger Lazaro Rojas was very disrespectful (he saw a woman so he thought he can take advantage of that) and tried to blame me for pushing the tail light bcs i got a back hit from another car!!!! Which is ridiculous bcs car fax and all the rest can show that its a completely lie!! When i tried to tell him that its a joke he keep telling me; well you have the car for 6months, and tried to blame me for doing that! After getting so upset I contacted Alex Lopez the sales person who sold me the car , he contact Edi the GSM , both of them saw it and said its not a big deal and that they don't blame me, they couldn't confirm for sure what it was but they guarantee that it is not something to be worried about, This guy; Lazaro Rojas was horrible! I dont know how he get the position of service manager, his attitude is awful and he has no shame, So, if you want a new Honda from Auto Nation in Hollywood ; which I recommend ( don't get me wrong, i love my car) just make sure that when you pick up the car you are getting a new car without touch up paint or dents it scratches from parking lot use..

I am writing this review to express frustration about the lack of professionalism and sub-par service rendered at AutoNation Honda Hollywood. I am totally flabbergasted & completely dismayed to say the least. Two weeks ago I took my car (2014 Honda Civic) in for A-1 service at your location. I paid for a synthetic oil change! However, while I was driving on New Year Eve my check engine light and low oil light came on! The next day, I had my car towed to Wal-Mart auto care center to have a technician look at my car because Auto Nation was Hollywood service center was closed on New Year's Day. The technician informed me and showed me that I was missing a screw and a drain plug (due to your technician negligence). This is totally unbelievable and mind boggling! The technician at Wal-Mart Auto Care Center informed me I was lucky because my engine could have blew up! I was completely out of oil. He insisted that I take pictures and a video to show the service at AutoNation Honda. I incurred an additional charge from Wal-Mart to rectify the potential hazardous matter at hand. Not only did have to kick out more money, I missed my New Year Eve and New Year Day Plans due to unforeseen car trouble. Choosing the AutoNation Honda dealership to service my car, I never thought for one second that the technicians would be so incompetent and fail to do their due diligence as it relates to servicing my car. I have several questions, concerns, and wonderings ..... Was this act done intentionally? What if my engine blew up on me? Is there a check and balance when cars are serviced? Are the technicians at your dealership certified? I am overwhelmed with uncertainty and reluctant about bringing my car to this particularly service center for future maintenance and/or repairs. Rightfully so, right? However, I did speak with the service manager Laz, who was very apologetic and diplomatic. He understood my frustration and listened to me. And I briefly spoke with the customer relations manger. Laz, did refund me for the oil change that they did, and stated that they will refund me for the inconvenience of having to get an oil change at Wal-mart..... However, no one from AutoNation Honda Hollywood has followed up with me; nor have I received the refund check that was promised to me for the inconvenience of having to get my oil changed again at Wal-Mart. Love my Honda Civic, but not impressed with AutoNation Hollywood Honda...

This might sound strange... a family writing a very positive review for a salesperson, manager, and dealership where their car was not purchased... but it is well deserved. We didn't think we'd get a new car in the very short span of 1.5 days of "car shopping" but we did. Though we had on our mind the need to get a new car soon, it just ended up happening quite suddenly over part of a weekend when close friends of ours offered to have our kids spend the night and next day at their place with their own kids. So, we got to work right away and went to a few car dealerships. Through our experience that weekend, we met 3 nice managers and 1 lousy one, BUT only 1 really great salesperson. This salesperson is Daniel Previlon. He didn't waste any of our time at all but made our experience at the AutoNation Honda of Hollywood really efficient and we couldn't have been happier with him. He is a really down to earth kind of person... a very genuine guy just doing his best to help customers out in finding the right car for them and in trying to get them the best offer possible. As soon as we got to the AutoNation Honda of Hollywood dealership, Daniel met us and took the keys to our Honda Odyssey to get an appraisal on its trade-in value while he helped us to look at the cars on the lot and go for a test drive in the one we were interested in getting. Every aspect of our time with Daniel was just so efficient... and his manager (RJ, I think the name was) showed that he was ready to do all he could to help us out with the numbers too. The dealership itself is in a pretty new building of considerable size so it is a nice place to come to as well. In the end, because another dealership we went to had the car we wanted in the color we wanted, we got our new car from that other dealership instead. (Unfortunately, we didn't have time for dealerships to get cars transfered and we had been burned before by such an offer in the past... with one dealership going through the whole negotiations process with us and promising they could have the color car we wanted transfered over within the week... but it just never happened.) However, the salesperson we had to deal with over at the other dealership was someone we would never recommend and the manager we initially had to deal with was an arrogant individual. It was lucky for us and for that dealership that another manager took over and saved the reputation of that dealership and our sale. We were sorry that we couldn't have sealed the deal with Daniel and his manager RJ from AutoNation Honda of Hollywood, but as the color vehicle we wanted was not on hand there, we had to go with the place that had exactly what we wanted. We would highly recommend anyone interested in a Honda to go see Daniel and RJ at the AutoNation Honda of Hollywood though as Daniel will not waste your time like some salespeople at other dealerships, and we are sure they will give you a very competitive offer.

Let me just start off by saying THANK YOU AutoNation Honda of Hollywood for such an awesome car buying experience!! This is my first BRAND new car and I was extremely worried about getting approved for financing and making sure I got a good deal. Anytime someone talks about car shopping they normally have a negative experience. So I wasn't sure what to expect.... I was referred to Ryan by a family member who highly recommended him. Ryan has been working with me for the last 2 months! Yes TWO months!! He went above and beyond to get me approved for financing and made sure he had the exact car I wanted! Even though at times, I was unsure about buying for personal reasons, I never felt rushed and he always responded to my multiple questions via emails, text messages, and calls. He is really a great, honest salesman with a lot of patience. I will admit, I can be a pain in the you know what... I bought my car on the last day of the month (yesterday to be exact whoop whoop lol sorry) and they were extremely busy! There was a little bit of wait time which is unavoidable, but the employees were all very attentive and friendly! Remember people if a business is busy it normally means they are doing something right, be patient and realistic. You aren't ordering at a fast food restaurant. Anyway... When I arrived Ryan immediately greeted me and got the whole process started and we went for a test drive. The 2016 Honda Civic is like driving a cloud! Just saying... Daniel was great he went over the whole car with me, showed me what every button does, hooked my phone up to the Bluetooth and explained all the features. Again they were extremely busy but he didn't seem rushed, answered all my questions, AND made sure my car was detailed even though it was raining! Then it was time to see the dreaded financing dept. Randy in financing was great as well! He made the decision making very easy and helped me get some great coverage without making me feel pressured. I left knowing I have protected my investment without spending a fortune. Again they were busy but he took the time to explain everything to me as I mentioned this is my first brand new car so a lot of these warranties and things are new to me! I love my new car and I had a great car buying experience! If you are looking for a smooth car buying experience, I highly recommend you go see Ryan!! Thank you Ryan, Daniel and Randy for an great car buying experience! I will always remember you guys!! If you actually read this whole thing call Ryan!! Him and the staff will take care of you!!

Horrific deception if i could rate with negative stars, I would! I went to Autonation Honda Hollywood after many back and forth emails with Ernest Rohn, an internet salesperson. We agreed on an OTD price for a Honda Civic and I took my daughter in, it was going to be her first car. Ernest took us for a test drive and we asked the typical questions, does it come with 2 keys, a valet key, the owners manuel, etc. He assured us the car had everything. I asked about the warranty and he showed me the paper that the warranty was up and quoted me the prices for the extended warranty. We were shown the car fax, but the car had no service records and/or receipts. We decided to purchase the car. While waiting for 2 hours for the finance manager, Jeremy from finance came over and told us that the car was Certified Pre Owned and came with a 12 month warranty. We signed the papers and then the commotion began. Vladamir our salesperson said they could not find a second key. We waited another 45 minutes for a second key to be cut. He also told us they were detailing the car and making sure it was ready to go. I questioned about how and where the second key was and they hemmed and hawed around the question. 3/4s of the way home (I live in Miami) I realized they did not give me the registration or the valet key. I called Charles Clay, the internet director, and he told me that the car didnt come with a valet key. I told him both keys and the valet key were checked off on the CPO paperwork and that I hadnt received the registration. He was adamant that they send the registration and there is no valet key. I told him that is not what the paperwork stated. He checked with the service manager who said yes, it comes with a key and I could pick it up. I balked and told them absolutely not, I was not driving up to Hollywood for their mistake. Haywood assured me they would fed ex it. Cleaning the car we found a hole through the carpet to the floor, that was covered by the mat. The CPO report showed no damage. I was OK with that. We found the registration shoved in the glove box. Nice that a manager does not know anything about the cars/services he sells. We washed, waxed, and cleaned the interior since it had not been done as promised. They had left a Sharpie marker and two pennies inside. How is that for a Honda dealership detailing? The next day I called American Honda and gave them the VIN to check the warranty. Low and behold, my daughters new vehicle was not registered as a CPO! I asked them how that works and was told the car is registered when the CPO is completed. I freaked out and called Autonation and demanded to speak with Larry Michaels, the general manager. Him and Haywood were conveniently in a meeting. Haywood got on and I explained what I had found out. He said it was impossible. I told him to call American Honda and he refused. He said he would have to get the paperwork and call back. He called and said that the car was registered in May 2016. I told him it was not and demanded to speak with the GM if not I was calling the news. He magically was able to get out of his meeting. He told me that the car was just purchased and that he had to send in the CPO paperwork in the next day. That would be the third day and make the car unreturnable. My BF was on the other line with American Honda double checking. They told him that is not their policy, the car needed to be certified upon inspection. I told the GM that we were deceived and that how could they sell us the car as CPO when it was not, that is fraud. He told us to bring the car back for a full refund. Never did he nor Haywood say they would call Honda to verify-because they knew the car was not certified. We arrived at the dealership and the receptionist knew of our situation. Not one employee offered an apology or an explanation. The GM was not even around. My daughter was heart broken. I placed a complaint with American Honda. Autonation Honda Hollywood is a deceitful dealership full of lying and sleezy people. Never buy a car from there!

My roommate and I had two vehicles; one was a 1997 and the other a 2001. On our way to Honda of Hollywood my roommate and I left the 2001 vehicle at our mechanic for an estimate on a car problem. I wanted to check out a new car to replace my 1997 car. I found the new computerized electronics quite confusing when first we started checking out the new Accords with our salesman, Mark Nelson. We went for a test drive with Mark, where he had the opportunity to explain how to use the push to start button, the rear view camera and side camera, etc., etc. Mark was very personable, thorough and exceptionally patient as we discussed my options and viewed inventory. He ran a printout on a vehicle cost with a trade-in of our 1997 car. Our mechanic called us during our meeting with Mark; turns out our 2001 car would be too expensive to repair! Now we decided to trade in the 2001 and Mark drove us to the mechanic to pick it up and bring it back to the dealership for trade-in. Mark then ran figures for two new cars, one Accord and one Civic with two trade-ins. Too expensive, Mark ended up running numerously more quotes with several different cars and we finally decided to purchase only the Accord for now, and traded in our 2001 car. Mark, of course, had to have the dealership run credit reports, and call our insurance company to transfer documents. The dealership printed out more numerous documents for signing, and by the time everything was completed it was after 10 PM. We started at about 2 PM, that's 8 hours at the dealership with no lunch or dinner, and my roommate and I were very hungry. But all through this lengthy process, Mark continued smiling and we even had a few laughs. The other members of the dealership were just as helpful and courteous, and I think they all got a kick out of how complicated things had become. The next day I had to return to pick up the car manuals, an extra set of keys, etc.(It was too late to get all this at 10:15 PM the previous night)) and all the reps we dealt with smiled and waved again. I felt like we had become friends by now! It all turned out to be an exceptionally enjoyable experience. I never expected it to happen this way and I highly recommend the Honda of Hollywood dealership along with my salesperson, Mark Nelson !

I have read so so reviews for this dealer. We had researched cars for a while. We narrowed it down to a 2010 civic Ex. We had corresponded with Jamie through the internet for a few weeks. He was always helpful and at no time did we feel pressure. Now, we did dealer shop through several dealers in the are. All corresponding with their internet departments. We test drove and narrowed down the car we wanted. We were working with other dealers. But from all the conversations and chats we had with Jamie, he was the only internet guy who was the most straight forward with us.We had a done deal at another dealer, but lets just say the deal did not work out. Jamie, was helpful enough that we agreed over the phone to a price. he sent us an invoice over the email with everything such as fees, price, tax, tag and everything listed. This made the deal easy and fun. We went to the dealer to sign the papers. Everything that was sent to us matched exactly. We had done tons of research and knew exactly what the prices were going to work out to, how much the down payment was going to be, and how much the financing was going to be before going in. When we got there, everything was spot on. The paper work, the financing, everything. It was the easiest car shopping experience we have ever had. I was doubtful of internet shopping at first. But after dealing with Hollywood honda, It was very easy. I highly recommend Jamie Romany, he is easy to work with, polite and very outgoing. He will help you find what your looking for and make it as hassle free as possible. I have to say, I have had great experiences working with this dealer so far. I felt no pressure at any time and everyone was up front and honest. I also wanted to add. One of the reasons we bought the car from Jamie is that he respected our privacy and did not haggle us or use excessive phone calls or contacts. I explained to him that I work most of the day and its easier to use emails and he respected that until we were ready to by then we corresponded with phone calls. He knew when we were ready to buy when we were ready and did not overly pressure us. He did everything right. He knew when the line was drawn and respected the line. And that is the main reason we chose Jamie to buy the car from. He was completely professional. We often find car dealers very naggy, calling me 5 times a day. Haggling us. That is what ruins the fun of buying a car. Jamie only contacted us when it was necessary. That really made the difference.

I purchased a 2007 Honda CR-V at Maroone Honda of Hollywood, and have had several issues with bad service: I brought my car in about 4 months ago because, due to a malfunction in the fuel door release, the door did not open, and as I had no gas and had to get to an urgent appointment, I had to pry the door open, causing some damage. It seemed clear to me that this was not my fault and that it would be covered under warranty. When I brought my car in, I was informed that because I pried it open rather than bringing it there, they would not cover the repair. I protested, and the service manager said he would email Honda to try to get approval, and would notify me when he heard back (regardless of the outcome.) At the same time, I also inquired about getting repairs done to my exterior paint and some interior issues, for which I had purchased, when I bought the car, extended exterior paint protection and an extended interior protection plan. The interior problems were likely not going to be covered (although it astounds me that drips of water on the plastic center console would cause damage and seems like a defect in materials), however the exterior issues (pockmarking of the paint) seemed to be exactly what I purchased the extended exterior plan for, and should be covered without problem. Again, the service manager declared that they were NOT covered, but that he would email Honda to try to get approval for the repair. No response ever came. Then, several weeks ago, I began having problems with my car starting. I immediately took it to the dealership, where they found that the battery had become defective, and promptly replaced it (the ONLY remotely good experience I have had with them.) While there, I remembered that I hadn't heard back about the repair work (3-4 months earlier) and inquired at the service desk about the status of those issues. The person at the service desk called the service manager (still the same person) who told her to tell me that he had sent the emails, but would send them again, and let me know what he found out. I was not confident in this statement. While I was there, I also requested copies of all my paperwork, service and maintenance contracts, and warranties, as it seems the papers I had at home only contained the bill of sale and related documents, but nothing that explained the warranties and such I had purchased or how to use them. I was told they would put them in the mail and I would receive in about 2 weeks. Still have nothing. To finish up, and what prompted me to write this letter, is my experience today. I desperately need (ah, yes I still need it) an oil and filter change. So, I left work to go to Coral Springs Honda, which is the nearest dealership to me (15 mins as opposed to about 30-40 mins for Maroone/Hollywood.) I had already called to check for the best time to come in, and was also informed that because I had bought the car at Maroone/Hollywood, that they would have to call and verify my maintenance contract, which I thought would be no problem, so I brought it in. When the service desk got a hold of someone at Maroone/Hollywood, she was told that they did not have my maintenance contract paperwork on file. As such, she could not provide me with service (unless I paid of course.) So totally wasted about and hour and a half. To top it off, when I got back to the office, I called Maroone/Hollywood to ask why they didn't have my paperwork, and where it was, and there was no answer at the service department at all. When I was forwarded to the front desk, I explained my issue, and was told that the service manager and all service techs were busy, but that my message would be passed on and my call would be returned in short order. 2 hours, still waiting... I have not received any of the paperwork, nor a single call from anyone in the entirety of my ownership of this car. I feel like they have my money, so to hell with me is their mantra. I always felt that t

My husband and I made a great internet deal through the "internet department" of Maroone Honda in Hollywood. We approached the sale with no-haggle tactics and got the price we wanted on the car. We were encouraged to come in to sign papers. That's when the nightmare began. As soon as we got to the dealership, the sales and financing staff threw every sleazy dealer tactic at us that I've ever heard of, plus a few more. We had done our research and read up on some informative sites, so we had answers for everything. First, they tried to tell us that being self-employed wouldn't work with Honda, because they were "sticklers" when it came to financing. We responded that our credit score was excellent, and we got iced (waited) for about 20 minutes. Then, they said we didn't have enough credit. When we pointed out that we had had established credit for over 5 years with a good available credit to debt ratio, they then "realized" they had misread our credit balances, so they'd go back and check interest rates again with that new info. They then came back with a truly horrible offer , longer loan term that we wanted and thousands more down. They gave us the "you're first time car buyers" routine. We wouldn't budge, so they came down on the atrocious financing 2 percent and acted like they were doing us a favor. We then asked if they could do our loan term. He said yes, but the APR would be the same. When we said we wouldn't take it and walked out, the man said "well good luck because you're not ever going to get a better rate." He didn't even shake my hand, and my husband had to force him to shake his. The next morning, my husband received a phone call from a potential lender (we watch our credit reports so these people have to call to verify our identity). The man from this bank was very nice, and though he wasn't able to give the exact amount we were approved for, he gave us a ballpark, and it was EXACTLY what we knew we could get! Then, I received an e-mail from the sales associate who was "so sorry" about the way things had occurred the night before. Miraculously, the APR had gone down another 2 percent, but it was STILL OVER THE BANK AMOUNT BY 2.0%!!! Straight profit for the dealer. After I let them know that I was onto their game, they became very rude and were suddenly "too busy to talk" because it was the end of the month. We haven't heard from them since. Also, after we told them no deal, they still hit our credit with multiple inquiries from some very "non-traditional" loan operations. We are going to have to put a freeze on our credit now because we don't want those checks to turn into full inquiries and drop our score. I am almost relieved that we didn't get further in the process, because who knows what else they would have done to conform to the "sleazy" stereotype. We are happy to move on, and glad we didn't need a car right away, because I can only imagine their "tactics" when they know they have leverage.

Today my husband and I purchased a Honda Civic SI Coupe from Maroone Honda of Hollywood. I must say that our experience was awesome! At first we were reluctant to go to any Maroone dealership -- we'd previously been to Maroone Honda of Miami and had dealt with pushy and rude salesmen (who stereotypically didn't want to show me - a female - an SI, sports model, which is a stick shift). However, they had the car I wanted, in the color I wanted, and quoted me a decent price over the phone. So we went... It was like you weren't dealing with a car salesman or car dealership at all. There was no pressure in the least. No one following you around, hounding you, while you were looking at different cars on the lot. After finding the specific car we were interested in, the salesman was helpful and informative, but never pushed for "working up the numbers" - he never tried to push us into any sort of commitment. After test driving the car we were interested in and having out trade-in appraised, we informed the salesman we were going to shop around and would call him later. There was no pressure to try to make a deal today, no gimmicks to try to keep us from leaving. We shopped around at a few other dealers, but never found one that had presented as good of a service level as Maroone in Hollywood, so we returned. We had a loan approved by our credit union for what we felt to be a good interest rate. However, just to make sure we'd researched all avenues, we had the dealership's finance group run our numbers... They actually were able to give us a better interest rate by over half a percent. There were no gimmicks in the financing process, no trying to pad the numbers, everything was presented in a very straight forward, not confusing manner. All in all, our experience was absolutely wonderful. I didn't feel like I had to be on guard at every corner, for fear of being ripped off... the folks at this dealership truly were trust-worthy and helpful. I will definitely do business with them in the future if I am in the market for another car (or to have my new car serviced) and would highly recommend them to anyone!!! If you are looking for a new or used Honda, give these guys a try! The salesman I specifically dealt with is Stu P - ask for him!! He says he's been with the dealership for 11 years, and you can tell he truly cares about his customers.
