AutoNation Honda Chandler

Laurence Bautista contacted me after I mentioned to my salesman at Acura that I was leaning more towards an Accord, but didn't have the best experience when we bought my wife's Ridgeline at Showcase less than a year ago. Dan Beaudette (very awesome guy at Acura of Tempe!) had Laurence contact me to see what I was looking for. Less than an hour later, we were at the dealership ready to pick out our new Accord! I was very surprised. I wanted an EX-L V6 w/nav that didn't have window tint (which is 'standard' at most dealerships in the valley). He had one for me! We went to the lot and looked at it, since I had already driven the vehicle, we were ready to pick out accessories and take it home. Laurence is probably the most knowledgeable salesman I have met, and it's not just accords, he knew everything about every honda vehicle! We had multiple salesman stop in to ask him a quick question about a specific feature - which I didn't mind, it actually gave me peace of mind! Once the paperwork was filled out, we were taken to finance. Alex Gonzales took care of us there . . . .for the most part. He tried VERY hard to push extended warranty, lojack, some other 'safety' feature, simoniz package, tire and package warranty, etc, etc, etc......I've owned 4 Hondas already . . . a 90 Accord with 97,000miles on it, a Civic with 186,000miles on it and another civic I sold to my sister with 45,000 miles on it, and the new ridgeline......I've NEVER taken a honda in for an issue other than maintenance. He didn't seem to understand that, or the fact that now that I'm out of college, I don't hang on to cars for more than 2 to 3 years. He was very organized, however and other than that, it was an easy process. Overall, this was the best experience we've ever had buying a car, and we got the best deal, by far. Just so you know, we passed 6 Honda dealerships to travel across the valley to get to San Tan Honda, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you, San Tan Honda!
