This was our first time purchasing a vehicle from a dealership and George made the experience very easy and enjoyable. He understood our needs and budget was able to find us something that worked with both. Nik was very helpful and was able to help explain everything to us from a finance side. Both George and Nik were very honest with us and we felt extremely comfortable during the whole process. If you are looking to purchase a new vehicle I would highly recommend you go see George! More

A Place to Buy a Vehicle The 5 star review is for John Howes the salesperson. I would rate the dealership itself 3 stars at best. Adequate with lots of room for improvement. The 5 star review is for John Howes the salesperson. I would rate the dealership itself 3 stars at best. Adequate with lots of room for improvement. First Impression: My wife and I walked into the show room and stood around for a good 20 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge us. Meanwhile employees busily walked past lost in there own little worlds. We finally asked the girl at the sales desk if we could speak to a sales person, so she paged someone to come greet us. This was a really poor first impression. I've had better customer service buying a pair of socks. Salesperson: We were introduced to John Howes who was easy to deal with, and seemed very open and honest about everything. It felt like he was looking out for our interests as much as his. This sense of mutual fairness is often hard to find when buying cars, and it was refreshing. He worked with us to get the deal we wanted both on the new car, as well as our trade. While we didn't get the exact deal we wanted, we managed to get pretty close. Vehicle Delivery: I ordered a new vehicle that wasn't on the lot yet, and the delivery process was painfully slow. I ordered the car in October and finally received it January. It was nearly 90 days from purchase agreement to delivery. I was told it would likely be delivered by end of November (30 days). I received no updated ETA's and getting anything that resembled an update was difficult. I assume this is because Honda does not provide the necessary information to the dealership to allow them to provide proper status updates. Even rough ballpark estimates would have been better than the void of communication I received. "Hidden" Fees: This dealership has a standard $299 "Security Package" that they add to all deals. This package was never discussed with me, and I only found it later at home after I had signed the purchase agreement. This "Security Package" is essentially Global i VIN etching / tracking, and a set of locking wheel nuts which you can purchase virtually anywhere for about $30. This package provides virtually no value to me, and I would absolutely not elect to pay for the package had I been given the choice. I think it's disgusting that the dealership would force this package onto their customers. I'm sure it's a common practice, but that doesn't make it acceptable. Suggestions: - Greet people when they walk in the door - Get rid of the standard "Security Package" and offer it alongside the other add on's like fabric protection or rust proofing. If you can't sell it because it offer's no value, stop offering it. - Provide better customer updates regarding vehicle delivery ETA. If the discussed delivery day is approaching or elapsed, provide a simple update. Even if it's just "I'm looking into it" - Stop demanding favourable reviews, it's cheap and aggressive. Provide better customer service and favourable reviews will happen organically. Also, find a better way to quantify and measure sales person performance. More

The sales person who helped me, Adam Rum I recently bought my first car, a 2012 Honda Civic, at Whitby Oshawa Honda and my experience there was great! The sales person who helped me, Adam Rumball, was very friendly and helpful in finding what I was looking for! I never felt pressure from him and felt that he was honest in showing me all I needed to know about the car. I love my new car and I would recommend Adam to anyone I know searching for a Honda! Thanks Adam! More

We quickly focused on the vehicle I was interested in, took it for a test drive and were able to negotiate a fair final price in a relatively short period of time. When I picked up the vehicle George had the vehicle nicely detailed, the final contract was ready to sign and we took the vehicle for a second test drive where George demonstrated many of the latest hi-tech and important safety features.

Would come again! Adam was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. He thought to show us aspects and features of the vehicle we were looking at (the Odyssey) that we wo Adam was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. He thought to show us aspects and features of the vehicle we were looking at (the Odyssey) that we would not have known to ask about (e.g., he walked around the outside of the car to prove we could see 360 around the minivan, he demonstrated the great turning radius on the vehicle). He is the reason we bought an Odyssey. He came across warm and sincere. He was not pushy in any way. I highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for a Honda! More
