2022 Honda Pilot

Very seamless transaction. Victor Vargas is a true professional salesperson. Helpful, honest and to the point. Negotiations were easy and fair. We have several friends who have purchased Hondas from Gilman, and one of them is on her third vehicle. I can?t say enough about how pleasant the whole experience was. Happy to be a Gilman Guy!!!

NEVER BUY FROM GILLMAN HONDA SAN BENITO EVER

I purchased a used vehicle from them on 6/1/22. The car had a shaking issue once speeds reached 75mph and there was a check engine light on in the car. My wife and I explicitly told our Salesman and the Used car Manager that WE WOULD NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T TAKEN CARE OF, Gillman Honda San Benito promised all issues would be taken care of. The car, which is our secondary car, was driven home and parked as I work from home. On 7/8/22 I drove the car to Austin, TX. When I got to San Antonio, TX, the car was shaking extremely bad, I parked it and stayed the night, the next day found a mechanic. He looked over the car and said it was the tire, it had separated. So I bought a tire. The shaking was still present. I got home and called Gillman Honda San Benito. I told them the shaking issue was still present and whatever work they did to fix the issue, did not fix the issue. I took the car in on 7/15/22. Gillman Honda claimed they couldn't work on the vehicle because it was a Chevy vehicle so they sent it next door to Gillman Chevy San Benito. After a week of them having the vehicle and no work being done, I was told that there are $700 worth of issues needing fixed in the engine (which wasn't even addressing the shaking issue), there was a check engine code and a bad thermostat. So the ORIGINAL check engine light issue wasn't resolved, there was another engine issue AND there was still a shaking issue. After back and forth with Gillman Honda and Gillman Chevy, the engine issues were being resolved but through my extended warranty. I was then contacted by Gillman Chevy that the shaking issue was because I had 3 bad tires bringing the total of bad tires when the vehicle was purchased to 4, and that nothing could be done until the tires were replaced. So for those keeping score at home, Gillman Honda didn't even bother to check the tires of the vehicle they sold me. This isn't a small Mom and Pop store, this is a mega car lot that DIDN'T CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE SELLING IT TO THE PUBLIC. I could've been in a serious accident due to these 4 bad tires. So now I have to pay out of pocket to replace 3 more tires of a vehicle I purchased a month ago. GILLMAN HONDA SHOULD BE ASHAMED of themselves for selling a vehicle like this to the general public. I'm not made of money, I expect a REPUTABLE dealer to sell cars they've inspected and know don't have numerous issues. I would've NEVER have purchased this vehicle since the original check engine light WASN'T fixed. Now I'm stuck with a vehicle I don't even want to drive anymore due to the horrific issues since purchasing it. I would give negative star rating if I could.

Bad Experience

Bad experience This was the first time I had been to Gillman in San Benito and it will be my last . I talked to salesman and told him what I wanted a third row seat because my suv i have doesn’t have a third row and I wanted more room so when I pick up my grandkids and have more seats . I showed him what I was interested in was very excited . I went in did the application then I went home and he called me that evening to let me know if I can have someone take over my car and I told him there was nobody to take over my car I wanted to trade it in so that was the last time I talked to him next couple of days I would call and he would put me on hold and never came back to the line that happened twice and never received a call back They should have told me from the beginning they weren’t able to help me and then running my credit as well I felt really bad when he put me on hold and didn’t call back That has never happened to me now I have to wait to go to another dealership but I have to wait they ran my Credit I’m never going back there 😔 0 Stars

Great customer service

Victor went above and beyond for us! Not only did I get a car $5000 under blue book value, they met me half way with my car because I live 4 hours from them! Totally worth the drive! The whole process was done by phone! Will be recommending this dealership to all my friends!

Great New Car Experience

I was very impressed with Jesse Games (JB) and Rudy Perez. They put none of the car salesman pressure on me. I was impressed that JB had 42 years experience as a car salesman. I did find Rudy trusted worthy because he has been a long time friend of my son-in-law and his family. Both worked with me and neither put any pressure on me to up grade to a more expensive car but I did anyway because my daughter convienced me not the salesmen. II did purchase addition products on the recommendation of JB without any pressure. He did recommend the special mates because I gave grand children in my car and the side additions to prevent scratches. I have talked to my friend who bought her CRV from Rudy and she was very satisfied with her purchase. I would recommend both men to my friends when ever they are ready to buy a car. JB has been in contact with me several times if I need any help with I'm standing the features of my car. I also am going to go to the conference in December to better understand the features on my car. I have never had this additional helped offered by a car dealership for any of the cars I have bought in the past. I was so impressed how they worked together and am so glad they both share in the commission. I will keep in close touch with them to asked questions. My son-in-law and daughter Love driving the car also. I can not wait to take it on a road trip to use the cruise control and econ feature. Thanks for a great experience. If I could give them more stars I would.
