Report
My wife and I bought a Honda Pilot at Honda of Ames back in 2003 the first model year. Our kids practically grew up in the car driving around the country on vacations and work trips; we have simply loved that car. While we lived in the Ames Iowa area we got all our service done at Honda of Ames and they were marvelous. Work and life took us far from Ames 17 years ago, but I still remember them fondly.
Recently I had reason to contact them again. Our youngest son has learned to drive and we're giving him the Honda Pilot which still runs very well and has about 150,000 miles on it. When I finally had to take off the Ohio license plates that had been on for 17 years, I got the plates off all right but the Honda of Ames license plate frame broke. I was devastated as I knew that my youngest son who was born in Ames would love to have had that plate holder, so I called up Honda of Ames, explaining what had happened, and they sent two of them absolutely free; they were so nice and I can't recommend these people more. Thank you, Honda of Ames!

We had a really great salesman. He was very courteous and respectful and knowledgeable regarding the vehicle we were looking at and ended up purchasing. His name is Tristan snd we would recommend him to anyone looking at Hondas. The whole process was pretty good, had a little glitch during closing the deal but Honda resolved it and everything worked out fine.

I thought it was a good car but first week I have had had to put 700.00 in with front struts and an alignment door switch and new key fob. Should have looked at car better just assumed they inspected it. Other than that still waiting on a mirror they are going to replace. They did offer a free oil change and filled my gas tank up. Told me when the mirror comes I. They will fill it up again for having to come back. I would by from them again just make sure to really go over car.

The sales manager there tried to rip us off by making us buy their pre-applied protective coating for $1,500 and also the four floor mats for $500. They said this package was mandatory and cannot be taken off. I said no thanks and broke off the deal. They were trying to make some extra money. Unbelievably poor customer service. Horrible sales approach. They knew that they were in demand so they tried to put us in a difficult situation. I would never come back here. If there was a 0 star I would have given them a big fat ZERO for their customer service.

I liked the casual atmosphere of the dealership. Not pushy. My sales consultant Francisco Reyes was great! He made the car buying experience a true pleasure, considering that I usually associate the experience with that of having an impacted wisdom tooth pulled. He was patient, informative, and a courteous professional. I thank him for his time and help.
