My Review of Okotoks Honda:
I had been shopping for a newer vehicle for well over a year. In mid April, I hit a deer (my car was deemed a total loss), which added some urgency to the car shopping process.

Over the course of a year or more, I had had a pretty good taste of most of the salesman/dealership pitches, angles, pressure, tricks - even out and out lies. Unfortunately, I have to say that shopping on my own as a female, seemed to be an invitation for the condescention and patronization that accompanies the salesman stereotype.

I found the vehicle I was later to purchase on Autotrader.ca. The price of the car was far less than that of the same car (with more miles, lower trim) at other dealerships. In addition, the car (an '08 Honda Civic EXL), had less than 36,000 km and was in like new condition. Unable to find the same kind of deal in my home city of Red Deer (as well as having had some bad shopping experiences here), I decided to drive to Okotoks.

Though the car looked good on the internet, I really did not want to deal with another salesman. I started the fair trip from Red Deer, tense from the thought of what I imagined I would encounter.

Arriving at Okotoks Honda (I had worked myself into an almost hostile state on the way down), I felt armed and ready fight the 'war of wit's' with a salesman. I am sure this was apparent when I met my salesman, Ryan.

Ryan was quick to disarm me; he demonstrated a genuineness that I had never experienced with someone selling cars. Not only was he friendly and accommodating (and all the other good saleman things), but he was very knowledgeabe - and, dare I say .... honest! (Every sales outfit needs to know that if the customer feels they are being delivered the straight goods - they will be far more inclined to buy.)

To make a rather long story short, I purchased the vehicle I had come to look at - sans the manipulation and pressure that usually accompanies the deal. Ryan was honest, forthright, and I felt that he wanted to get me a 'good deal' (important to me!)

I met with Brad to work out financing, and a couple of days later, Kevin. Both of these men were very professional, and made every effort to go through and explain all items relating to the purchase of my car. (Kevin was quite funny! - Brad was great in getting back to me regarding questions et al.)

In a nutshell, shopping here was a most excellent experience!! In addition to having a great experience with Ryan and the business managers, I was also contacted by the owner of the dealership, Rahim, who personally thanked me for my business.

I will definately, recommend this dealership (and Ryan) to my friends.

Thank you!
A.S.

I have been driving Hondas ever since Rahim began his dealership in High River, years ago.
The quality of Honda is top notch.
The 2012 Pilot that I recently purchased is a dream vehicle.
Knowing a lot about Car mechanics, this is truly a wonderful experience.
Excellent service has been provided by Rahim and his overall staff.

My Review of Okotoks Honda:
I am currently driving my 10th Honda, specifically a CRV, from both High River Honda and now Okotoks Honda. I've found over the years that I would not purchase a vehicle from anyone else but Rahim and his team, they have always provided exceptional support and as well friendship that I appreciate very much.

The service center team lead by Duane is second to none, their high level of service keeps me coming back, I've never had service provided by any other dealership, I am willing to go out of my way knowing that they will always look after me and my vehicle.

I have recommended Rahim and Okotoks Honda to friends and co-workers which has subsequently resulted in the purchasing of at least 6 vehicles to my knowledge.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide my feedback in support of Okotoks Honda, they are truly exceptional and they care about their customers.

My Review of Okotoks Honda:
We were greeted in a very friendly manner by Burton and when we advised him what vehicle we were interested in he quickly arrange for the test drive of three seperate vehicles. Upon advising him of our previous dealings with Rahim upon our return from the test drive we were greeted by Rahim upon which he took us to his office and we went through some different senarios resulting in a deal made on the 2011 Accord. The pricing we found very fair and good value provided for our trade-in.

From our first dealings with the Dealership and our subsequent visits for service we have always been treat with respect and the work always carried out most satisfactorily.

Thanks Rahim and all your staff.

My Review of Okotoks Honda:
I have been a customer of Okotoks Honda for 4 years now and I've had nothing but exceptional service from both the sales and service. The staff is extremely professional and friendly every time I come to visit. I will always come back to Okotoks Honda to purchase my new vehicles for years to come. The sales staff always make me feel well taken care of and even though the facility is top notch, I still feel like the atmosphere is that of a small town dealership; very personalized service. I never feel like I'm just another customer but rather part of a family.
