Performance Kings Honda
Dealership Sales Review
I recently had a racist incident while purchasing a new car from the Performance Kings Honda dealership. I was financing the car so I filled out all the paperwork for a loan application. Their Finance Director, asked for proof of social security and visa. I am an American-born Asian woman from NY. This white woman had assumed I was a foreigner and was asking for further proof of my identity, even after I had already provided my SSN. I obviously didn’t have a copy of my social security card because…who carries that at all times and…I didn’t think that I needed it to buy a car. But she kept asking for it, saying that Honda needed it because I was a first time buyer. I highly doubt she would have asked a white customer for proof. I’ve since reached out to Honda Financial Services and the dealership over social media and have confirmed that I do NOT need to provide proof of social security, even if I am a first time buyer. I already reported the incident to the General Manager over email and never heard anything back. Such a disappointing experience. What happened is incredibly racist and unacceptable. Do not buy from this dealership.
