Good morning! We always appreciate the opportunity to serve customers and make you happy. We do realize that we cannot always please every customer, but we try very hard. We will address your issues publicly since you have chosen to do a public review. I see where you had a problem with Rodney being rude. Typically he is very calm and handles things well and is a great people pleaser. We are sorry that somehow he offended you. Rodney has been here for 13 years and has had thousands of satisfied customers. We would like to hear about any other "rude" employees and which ones they were because we would deal with those issues to make certain they do not arise again. If there were other rude employees, please let me know who and what the circumstances were and we will handle the issue. Non-refundable deposits are NOT illegal. However, we do not practice that. The gentleman that we were speaking to on your behalf was told that the deposit on a used vehicle CAN be refunded to you should you not purchase the vehicle. That deposit holds the vehicle and gives you first right of refusal. That way if we misrepresent the vehicle in any way OR if you are just NOT happy with the vehicle, you do not have to purchase. Jaime called the gentleman back AGAIN and said, another person is on the way to look at that car, are you sure you do not want to put the deposit down to hold it til you get here. The exact words on the recording were, "We will risk it". She called back again to say that ANOTHER customer was coming in to look at the vehicle and there wasn't an answer. Since you had called first, we were trying to give you every opportunity. That 2008 Accord was a very popular vehicle and there were 3 customers here at the same time to purchase it. One bought the vehicle, the other bought a similar vehicle and you chose to leave. We price our vehicles very aggressively which is why you found the vehicle online from over 2 hours away. With that being said, our used cars move very quickly. Unfortunately, used cars are unique. There are several close in color and specification, but price is what drives people here. Knowing how fast our cars move is why you were asked on 3 different occasions to put a deposit down and again, we have recorded where you were told it was REFUNDABLE if you did not buy the car. We are very sorry that you were not able to get the vehicle that you wanted and that we were not able to please you. We regret that it did not have a better outcome as a good and positive outcome is what we always strive for.

Reviews do not show up for 14 days so you will see your negative review pop up on June 19th. :) We cannot keep a negative review from showing up. The reason that so many positive reviews show up is because we get that many positive reviews. We lead this region in customer service index which is reporting straight from Honda. We are a multiple award winner, over and over. Again, we apologize that you chose to NOT put a deposit down to hold the car. Have a great day and good luck finding a car that you love.

MORE LIES FROM THIS COMPANY - Jaime did NOT call us on our trip down to say that anyone was looking at the vehicle. We were told by phone that the deposit was NON-REFUNDABLE by Jessica, that is when we said, we would take our chance because who would be stupid enough to throw $500 out the window? No one in their right mind! Once we arrived at the facility, RODNEY again concurred that the deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE because as your company sees it, "you aren't going to miss out on 2 sales!" Direct quote from YOUR EMPLOYEE, RODNEY. RODNEY also misrepresented himself as a MANAGER, when it is clear on this website, he is only in SALES. Keep lying but I know the truth in my situation with you and everyone that comes into contact with you should be made very aware of it. It is also VERY strange that only positive reviews show up, as my NEGATIVE review is not online. So, it is apparent that you have many more negative reviews that you all choose to keep to yourself. Convenient. Liars and Snakes.

You are wrong about the website showing him as "only in sales". If you click on his picture, it clearly shows that he is the "General Sales Manager". All of your replies are public and people will clearly be able to see the truth when the website publishes them. Have a great day.

Honda of Cleveland responded

Ma'am. we have no reason to lie. I have listened to the recording and read the transcripts. I know what was said originally and I know what was recanted. I tried to apologize, that is all I can do. I will have a great day. I have a great day every day because I died 3 times in March due to a pulmonary embolism, but they brought me back. I am very healthy and in great shape, yet blood clots took me down. Nothing bothers me any longer. Take care my friend. :)

Carshopper responded

He should take some more training courses then because he has terrible customer service skills. You do not raise your voice and yell at any customer, much less a man yell at a woman. He also did this publicly, as it was clear he was on speaker phone when he spoke to me by phone. We were told by multiple employees (Jessica & Rodney) that the deposit was NON-REFUNDABLE, otherwise, we would have had NO issue with giving a REFUNDABLE deposit. Please do not respond any more. I am tired of reading your lies and having to take time out of my day to respond to this ignorance. Enjoy your day. Thank you.
