easily one of the simplest, lowest-pressure car-buying experiences I’ve ever had. I recently accompanied my 82-year-old mother to purchase a new Honda and handled most of the conversation and negotiation on her behalf. Alex Shmidt, our sales representative, was the first person we met when we walked through the door, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. One of my favorite sayings is, “Everyone wants to buy, but nobody wants to be sold,” and Alex put that mantra into action. At no point did we feel pressured. He was kind, well-spoken, patient, and gave my mom all the time she needed to make the right decision. We test drove several vehicles, and Alex walked us around the lot looking at other options, which was no small task considering it was 112° outside! In the end, my mom actually bought the very first car she saw. But because of Alex’s patience, we never felt rushed or like we were being a bother for wanting to explore all of our options first. My mom has owned Hondas for more than 25 years, so we already had confidence in the brand. But when you’re helping an elderly parent make a major purchase, you want someone who treats them with patience and respect while also respecting the person helping them through the process. Alex did exactly that. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alex or the dealership to anyone looking for a Honda. This is how buying a car should feel.
