Review of Gwinnett Place Honda

I was in a very unique situation. I was flying in...

I was in a very unique situation. I was flying in to Georgia on Thursday to start a new job the next Monday. I didn't have a GA drivers license, and I didn't know anyone who could pick me up from the airport. I could test drive cars in upstate New York, but I couldn't visit any of the dealerships that I was going to be potentially buying from.

I test drove cars with my wife and was deciding between the HR-V and the Fit when I contacted several dealerships around Atlanta looking to figure out what it would cost to get me in each car, and which, if any of them, could get me in the car on Thursday night.

Michael Heng was not the only one to respond to me with reasonable pricing that could coordinate transit from the airport to the dealership, but he was the one I was most impressed with. I spoke with multiple dealerships by phone, but Michael provided a few key differentiators:

Michael was the only person at his dealership to contact me. He even followed up with me on the same day on his day off. He understood and remembered my situation. He didn't try to give me a "low price" that excluded taxes and fees, but gave me transparent pricing. He approached hurdles such as a lack of a GA drivers license and my late arrival at the airport with confidence that we could solve any issues.

Ultimately, it was that last point, a quiet confidence that Michael would make this easy and that things would go smoothly that caused me to go with Gwinnett Place Honda. And they did. The entire process was smooth. I got my GA license on Friday morning and returned to the dealership around noon to finish up the process, and I am thrilled with the car and the service I received. I was also glad that there was no high pressure sales at any point in the process, even when talking with other people at Gwinnett about car options and service package options.

I am very glad to have chosen Gwinnett Place, and more specifically, that I was able to work with a great guy like Michael through the whole process.
