Hear What Our Customers Have to Say

"Honda Windward Service Department-Believe Me"

James Nakanishi service manager gave me a whole new way of thinking about a service/mechanic shop. In all of my 65 years I have never though going to a car dealership service as a fun date. All past experience has taught me to dread going to mechanics and feeling my way through the grease pit to find a solution. I must say I was initially suspect to the warmth and clarity I was getting. I had an appointment to have accessories put on my new Fit. I was late more than two hrs. After all what mechanic shop kept account of customer in/out time. Well James runs a shop like a railroad conductors watch. He had a man waiting to start on my car. I then felt guilty about my mismanagement of time. James had been paying a man for my time. My head is still numb from what happened next. James reassured me that it was OK and not to worry that they would try to get most of the accessories installed today. He nor I estimated that a reverse sensor system, a big job would be done that day. James kept a man overtime to complete the job. That's right the whole job was done that day. The kicker, James thanked me for being a Honda Windward customer. As I drove away trying to digest what happened as reality and not a trip down the "yellow brick road" satisfaction set in. Believe. Robert Fit to go.

"Second Purchase From Bob Laudick"

This is our second time going to Honda Windward for a vehicle. We went through the same sales person who helped us last year when we purchased our very first new vehicle.

We had such great service that time, we decided to go through them again. This time we ended up leasing our vehicle. We originally were going to get a used vehicle, but Bob suggested leasing. At first we were hesitant because we never leased, but Bob explained to us and answered all our questions. So, we decided to lease, and it was a great decision in our opinion.

Bob Laudick is such a great person. He takes the time to answer your questions and he is very thorough when it comes to explaining the vehicle. The process from finding a car to driving off the lot took almost 3 hours, but it didn't even seem that long because Bob entertains you by telling you jokes and just talking to you about general things, all awhile, making sure you understand everything about the car and the process.

So if you are ever in need of a car, go to Honda Windward and request to see Bob Laudick. He will try to help you as much as possible with getting you the best deal and making sure you leave there satisfied and happy. Even after you drive your car off the lot, he will keep in contact with you, making sure that you know he is there for you if you ever need him to answer questions about the vehicle.

"Third time was a charm"

Honda Windward is the third dealership we went to and we expected it to be another tiring process. Fortunately, we got a great guy in helping us reached the best and right decision. James Igawa did not only took care of us and helped us get a great deal that day but he made sure that we're happy and comfortable with the choices we made. He is knowledgeable, straightforward and friendly. He even entertained our two girls while the buying process takes its course. Now, that's going the extra mile! We're very satisfied with the car we got, thanks to James excellent assistance and the great customer service from Honda Windward.

"Our 4th Honda"

We just purchased our 4th  Honda so are pretty brand loyal but over the years have gone to both Honda Windward and Pflueger on a sales and service level. By far, the better sales experience has been with Honda Windward.

In particular, Bob Laudick was head and shoulders above any other sales representative we've ever worked with in Hawaii. I was ready to purchase a new car over Mother's Day weekend at Pflueger and was so turned off by the sales person we just walked out. During the test drive on a CRV he didn't offer any information on the car, didn't engage me as a loyal Honda owner, and seemed indifferent or bored.  Then he didn't even know about the financing special featured in the newspaper ads their company was running. This was not someone I would want to do business with, in fact I can't even recall his name and he didn't bother to give us a business card. I decided to just wait and look elsewhere.

By comparison, Bob Laudick was very engaging and thoroughly explained every option and feature of the car before we took it out on the road. He knew the product well, and focused on what needs we had not only with the car model but follow up service. After the deal was made, he once again walked me through all the car features before letting me drive off the lot and provided the business cards of the Service team managers just in case I had any problems or questions.

I was so pleased with his professionalism, I even recommended him to one of my clients who has since been in and purchased a previously owned Accord. He also had a very positive experience. Bob has also impressed me with his follow up emails and recommendations on things we discussed when meeting.

On a service level since I work downtown had taken my last Honda CRV to Pflueger and while the service staff are extremely nice there have been problems. A major tune-up was needed along with new tires. I went over the costs and confirmed the tire make and necessary balancing, alignment work, etc., with my rep. Because they couldn't finish it all, I ended up leaving the car overnight. The next day in the afternoon I hadn't heard from anyone so called and they said the car was finished. The bill didn't seem as high as what was originally quoted, only to discover when I got home that they hadn't done the tire change at all. It sat there all day and no one touched it.  It was Friday, so I ended up going to Firestone that weekend for the new tires, etc. That experience left me with real reservations about the work they do, and their attention to detail.

This is the first testimonial I've ever written, especially about a "car salesman" or dealership but I would highly recommend Bob Laudick and Honda Windward.

"Bob is the MAN!!"

Bob Laudick was a real joy to work with. My b/f and I went to the Honda dealer in town and didn't have a very warm experience. After reading a bunch of yelp reviews we called him directly and he came in special just to deal with us on our time! I hate the whole salesman routine but with him it was very comfortable, fun, and easy. A couple hours later I ended up rolling away with my current (realistic) dream car!

My one complaint is that there is a squeak when turning the steering wheel. I hate that a new 2011 CR-V would have something up with it right off the bat. Although I hear it's pretty minor...but still!

On the bright side we called Bob and he got right on it! Bob is the MAN!!

"I Was Very Surprised..."

I was very surprised to find the dealer to be very amiable. Bob never pressured me into buying a car beyond my needs but pointed out a variety of choices with affordable prices. Bob was very knowledgeable about all the vehicles he offered and was able to answer all of my questions. He offered tea while we went over paperwork and went over some important points a few times so I wouldn't forget. He gave me some great references to look to for future reference.

"Gary and Aaron made truly a believer out of me"

Gary and Aaron made truly a believer out of me. We just purchased a new car Honda Accord in Windward dealership and I must say I do not write reviews but at this time I must. They are just awesome, friendly and professional. Going through so many dealers, we are happy we found them. They made a dream come true, because they are people who love their job and make the experience of buying a new car truly pleasant.Thanks to their excellent work we were leaving the shop the same day with a car we love. I would recommend them to everybody and we are going to buy the second car for sure with them. Sometimes it takes passion and humanity to achieve something and that is what they have. Thank you guys and wish you a lot of sales.

"I Felt Like Part of the Family"

On Sept 2nd, 2011 I went into Honda Windward, and was helped by Bob Laudick. Bob was very helpful in getting me into a car, that same day I drove off with it. The service that I received made me feel like a part of the Honda Windward Family. I will recommend both Honda Windward and Bob Laudick to my Family & Friends. Thanks again Bob for all your help. I am enjoying my car. Mahalo, Julius & Valerie

"We Had Our BEST Experience With Honda Windward"

We recently purchased 2 new Honda cars from them. We have always been a loyal Honda customer and we got  cars before from both Honda Pflueger and Tony and by far , we had our BEST experience with Honda Windward. Mr. Bob Laudick helped us out and not only is he very professional but he's very flexible with our needs, before we came, we had a number in mind to trade in for our cars and not only did he gave us a good value for the trade off, he also gave us a low rate towards our financing. We actually went to Honda Pflueger the day before but we were so turned off with the sales representative , not only does he doesn't have any knowledge about the car (Hybrid Insight) , when we asked him about the trade invalue and financing, he wasn't sure of anything. We are never going back there again.
If you want a painless car buying experince, I would highly recommend Honda Windward for all Honda users and customers, look for Mr. Bob Laudick, he's great!...

"Tom Makes Car Buying Fun"

Currently serving in the US military, I had just come back from my second deployment and heard from my wife about how bad has prices had gone up all over the country. As much as I love my American muscle cars they were not practical right now so I had to suck it up and get a hybrid, I had done some research and decided that the CRZ was a cool(er) hybrid and the price seemed to be right. Once I got back me and a friend when to Pflueger Honda in Honolulu, this establishment should be avoided at all costs. Parking as awful and all the attendants couldn't tell two potential customers where to find a spot, after getting inside we were giving a sales rep who didn't smile much less show any enthusiasm to sell a car. When said we wanted to see what hybrids they had in stock he stated that they were all out (he said this as my friend and me were standing behind one) No effort was made to show the vehicle off, he knew nothing about the car, he didn't know how many he had in stock, he took us up to the second floor to show us the other car and when we got there he realized that the car was actually downstairs, he never asked if we wanted to test drive it but the kicker was when we asked to drive it, it took him twenty minutes to find the keys well my friend and I were left standing in the rain. Wonderful experience! The flipside to this story is Tom from Windward Honda in Kaneohe. After the Pflueger fiasco (Plfueger is closer to me, that's why I tried them first) I was more than willing to go to the other side of the island if it meant I didn't have to deal with them again! I have Windward a call and was put through to Tom, he was more than happy to deal with me, after I told him what I wanted and what I was looking for he said he would call back in ten minutes, which he did, he was able to tell me what they had in stock with what available options. So right off the bat, real customer service! The next day we and the wife went down there to see Tom, the attendants noticed we were having trouble finding parking and actually stepped into help. When we asked for Tom we were greeted by him in a few seconds. Right away he showed us exactly what we wanted to see, we took a friend along with us who also was looking to buy a more fuel efficient car and he tended to both of us equally without ever ignoring the other. Any car we wanted to test drive? Not a problem, any questions we had he was able to answer them and if he didn't know he was more than happy to look it up for us. Dealing with me I'm sure he didn't have to many issues, my wife on the other hand was another story, but he showed the utmost patience with her and the whole day was service with a smile as well as the occasional joke. At no point did we feel alienated or pressured; everything was a smooth and comfortable ride. Even my wife, who isn't impressed easily, was very happy with Tom and the service he provided. As someone who has had bad experiences with dealers in the past, Tom at Windward Honda is someone I would not only deal with again but would recommend to all my friends. If you go down and see him he wont disappoint.

"Went Above And Beyond Our Expectations"

We recently purchased 2 new vehicles from them. We've been to the other Honda dealers in the island, by far , we had the BEST experience with Honda Windward. Mr. Bob Laudick went above and beyond our expectations, he's very flexible with our needs and customer service is great. We'll definitely go back there for our future car needs.

"Fair Values at Honda Windward"

My husband and I went to Bob Laudick to purchase a used car. We previously went to numerous other dealerships around the island and I was unimpressed with many of the salespeople. When I would ask questions about the cars they would give me vague answers. There was one dealership (cough Pflueger cough) that offered us $2k for our 2001 X5 for trade in. It was a total scam. When we went to see Bob, he was very friendly, knew a lot about the cars, gave us a fair value for our trade in, and a great deal on a 2008 crv. He was very straightforward and just wonderful to work with. We will definitely return to him for future purchases. The dealership also is very nice and great service.

"It Went Quickly"

For the second time I have had the pleasure of working with Bob Laudick in purchasing a new car. My girlfriend was looking at a new CRV at another Honda dealer on the island, but having worked with Bob before I convinced her we should go talk to him @Honda Windward. One of my biggest frustrations with the car buying process is how LONG it can take. I have a very busy and demanding career (as does my girlfriend). We are lucky to have one day a week off, so the last thing we would ever want to do is spend all day haggling at a car dealer. With Bob it was a fast and enjoyable experience! We talked on the phone about what we were looking for, he called back within an hour and said they didn't have the exact car we wanted on the lot but one was coming in within a week or so. We made an appointment to go in the next day to test drive a car and do the initial paperwork. We went over the numbers, did the paperwork, and were out of there in no time. We got a very fair price right off the bat. We did not have to spend much time at all... Go and work with Bob Laudick!

"Glenn Yakuma is Back"

Glenn Yakuma is back at Honda Windward. Except for an introduction by a mutual friend, I had not known Glenn at all. He was out for over four months resolving physical problems, but I am happy that I waited for his return. I have bought many new cars from others, but this is my first Honda. Glenn Yakuma's no pressure, fair dealings made me feel comfortable like I was buying from a long time friend. As with friends, I took him out to lunch after I bought the car. That's attesting to his casual, honest style because how many car sales people get taken to lunch by a customer? Dennis Ihara

"Best on Oahu to Buy a Honda"

Great place to purchase a Honda. I came to Windward Honda after experiencing a not positive experience at Pfluegar Honda and Tony Honda. As a single woman purchasing a car, I found Windward to have similar prices but easier to work with.
Really nice to people to work with at Windward!
I love my Insight!

"Great Service From Gary Brandt"

Gary Brandt is the best. I purchased two new Honda Odyssey vans from him in the last ten years. I will only buy Honda's vehicles from Gary. He is honest and has integrity and looks after my best interest. Gary is a superb salesperson.

"GREAT SALES REP GREAT PRODUCT"

LOVE my car! Bob Laudick did a great job with follow-up to my online inquiry -- continued to follow up even when he didnt hear from me for a while because I had the flu. He was very thorough in answering my questions and giving me things to think about as I was also originally considering another car and dealer. It was HIS taking the time to converse with me and help me think of options that made the difference on a) buying a Honda as compared to another make, and b) purchasing it from Honda Windward, as compared to another dealer.
I could not be more pleased with my choice of a car its even more than I had imagined it could be. Love driving it, love the spaciousness and unique seat configurations, love the mileage, and my son went nuts over being able to hook his iPod up to the speaker system. Oh, yeah, and its my favorite color, too! (such a girly thing to say) Just very pleased and have already recommended the FIT to many friends!

"James Igawa Was Awesome"

Our first experience with Honda Windward was simply the best. We found one of their used cars listed on Craigslist, so we went to hondawindward.com to get more info. Their option of appraising our trade in was easy to use & we were also able to tell them which car we were interested in. We got a call back from their internet manager to set up an appointment to look at the car.

When we arrived @ the dealership we were kinda nervous since it was our 1st experience there. We've purchased from a lot of other dealerships before....the one's who sit outside like vulture's & follow you around & the one's that ignore you & let you come to them. This experience was a happy medium to all other dealerships. We were greeted by James Kanealii Igawa. We told him that we had an appointment to see the internet manager. While waiting for the internet manager, we started talking story & felt very comfortable with him. We were very happy when the internet manager let him work our deal.

"Second Purchase With Bob Laudick"

We got a very fair price right off the bat. We did not have to spend hours going back and fourth on numbers. I really appreciated that as well. When the car came in, it was ready for pick up at the time promised and we were in and out within 30 minutes to so. If more people in the car business handled things like Bob, the car buying process would not have such a bad wrap. Very professional, straight forward and fair

"This is the first time I've left a car dealership not feeling uncomfortable"

I just bought my first Honda and was very impressed by Bob Laudick, the sales rep who helped me make the best decision for ME (not for him or Honda). He was patient and full of information. This is the first time I've left a car dealership not feeling uncomfortable. What a great experience! Thanks Bob! I would recommend you and will recommend you to my friends.

"Honda Windward's Service Dept is the Best!"

Windward Honda's Service Department is the BEST!! We have been going to Honda Windward for all our service needs for the past two years. They are an honest and genuine service department that is always looking out for the customer. We recently needed to replace a power inverter in our Odyssey and were expecting a separate extended warranty company to cover the cost of our repair. Well as it turned out, that warranty company said they had no record of us as one of their customers, eventhough we paid $1860 for a 6 year/60,000 miles warranty with them when we purchased our Odyssey from a small island dealership (Not Honda Windward) two years prior. After two months of trying to clear up the problem with that extended warranty company, Honda Windward took it upon themselves to replace the Inverter in our Odyssey and covered 85% of the cost in doing so. We were stunned at their generosity! Thank you Honda Windward for your kindness! Our family greatly appreciates you!

"Sincerity and Follow Up"

Just a short note of appreciation for the wonderful service that I received from Bob Laudick at Honda Windward:  His special effort in meeting with me on his day off, his no pressure, "Is this everything you want in a car?" attitude, his sincerity in offering me what I consider to be a fair price and "the best deal possible",  his detailed instructions in reviewing all the features of the vehicle prior to my driving off, and his follow-up emails and phone calls, even after the transaction had been completed, all shows his professionalism in providing 100% customer satisfaction.  I am totally pleased with the process of this transaction, as I am with driving my new car.  Best wishes in recruiting many more happy Honda drivers!

"Perfect Purchase"

Just wanted to thank you and especially Bob Laudick for making our new car purchase a great experience.  Bob Laudick made us feel like family.  Even though we just met for the first time he made us feel comfortable and reassured that buying a car from Windward Honda would meet all my expectations and more.  We spent half our morning in downtown the day before trying to get the right deal for our Honda since we live in town.  But that was a mistake we felt uncomfortable and pressured.  Windward Honda was the first place I bought my Accord almost 20 years ago so coming back was not a problem.  Overall to sum everything up we are pleased and very happy we bought our Accord Crosstour from Windward Honda and Yes they made a believer out of us.  Thanks again Bob Laudick and Windward Honda for the new car and perfect service.

Sincerely,

Shan & Namiko P

"Purchasing a vehicle has never been so easy"

Purchasing a vehicle has never been so easy. Gary Brandt provided us with excellent service and made my husband and I comfortable every step of the way. Gary was very accommodating and friendly to work with. I highly recommend Gary to anyone who is looking to purchase a Honda! The Finance Manager, Louie, was also a pleasure to work with. Louie definitely knew his stuff and provided us with a great deal on the warranties. Thank you so much to both of you!

"Sincereity Clinched The Deal"

Amazing the amount of time Bruce Metzker was willing to spend with our family to tend to our myriad questions and test drive different vehicles. He was patient throughout the entire experience as we vacillated between cars. In the end, his sincerity in dealing with us clinched the deal. Would highly recommend him and the dealer.

"Ask for Bruce Metzker"

I recently purchased a New 2011 Honda Accord from Windward Honda and I have to say it was a very positive experience. More importantly, my salesperson Mr. Bruce Metzker has done a fabulous job to get me a fair price and the best financing option. I was very impressed by his honesty, professionalism and a wealth of experience and knowledge in the business. If you are in the market for a hassle free car buying experienced and get your questions answered right. Make sure you give a Windward Honda a try and ask for Mr. Bruce Metzker.

"No Other Dealer Even Offered...Go See Bob Laudick!"

I recently graduated college and received a job offer to relocate to Hawaii - I contacted a few other Honda dealers regarding the car I was interested in, however, Bob Laudick and Honda Windward was the only dealer to offer to pick me up from the airport and lug my luggage to the car so I wouldn't have to take a cab or waste the money of a car rental. They even offered that if I wasn't happy with the car at windward honda after the test drive and picking me up, they would even set me with a person to work with at the dealership next door! I never expected the car buying experience and arrival in a new state to go as smoothly as it did. I just want to thank Bob for his ease of contact via email and txt and picking me up from the airport that made moving here and buying my first car that much easier. No other dealer even offered.

"I'm A Beleiver Now"

Honda Windward and their outstanding team have made believers out of my husband and I. We recently traded in our beloved CR-V for a 2011 Honda Insight, and Kaipo Kamanaka (Sales Associate), Bob Belbas (Sales Manager), and Louie Hecht (Finance Manager) have all shown us uncommon support and dedication throughout every stage of our car-buying process. They've each strived to meet our needs, and we have walked away completely satisfied. I highly recommend Honda Windward and their outstanding team to any prospective buyer interested in a friendly and hassle-free car-buying experience. They are honorable and worthy of their consecutive Honda President's Awards!

"First Car Purchase In Hawaii"

First car purchase in Hawaii so I was concerned about prices and, after initial checking of dealer reviews, I was worried about most I checked out. While online, I was at a site that let me request a quote. I soon was contacted by Honda Windward's internet department. My research on dealers already showed them to be the best rated for brands I was looking at so I made an appointment with Bob Laudick. NO PRESSURE, but all the information you could want. I had a number of other cars and dealers I wanted to check out so I got a price on a couple of cars I was interested in (Fit basic and Fit Sport). I liked that, even after I told them I would be checking other places, they didn't try to pressure me into buying before I completed my own research. Then came the fun of checking other cars and dealers. None seemed to have the high level of reviews as Honda Windward. Some were friendly in discussions and didn't pressure either. Some of those I ruled out because I just liked the Fit better. Some had a problem with lots of negative reviews either for their sales or service, or both. One was foolish enough to not give me a price unless I was ready to deal (I told them it would be a few days to a week or so). Don't give me a price and I have no further time for you! My money, my rules! But every step of the way, Bob Laudick at Honda Windward was straight forward and helpful. When it came time (today) to actually decide to buy, I had a problem with the bus schedule (I didn't have a car) and my work schedule, so Bob came over to Aiea and picked me up. There was no guarantee of a buy at that point - just a probability (I was still waiting to see if there was some negative surprise, but there wasn't one). The price was low enough on the Fit Sport that I bought that and was even able to add another accessory that I didn't think I could afford. Well worth the trip over there and, with the convenience of H-3, it really isn't far at all - and no traffic lights for most of the trip!

"Kaipo Kamanaka and Honda Windward go above and beyond!!! "

My husband and I recently purchased a new Honda from Kaipo Kamanaka. Kaipo steadily and patiently answered our many questions and concerns, for nearly two months through regular emails and phone calls, before we reached our final decision. He remained gracious throughout this entire period, which consistently developed our trust in him as someone who had our best interest in mind. This was also so crucial for us in our desire to purchase a new car, especially after our previous unsavoury experience at another local Honda dealership. Kaipo, Bob (Sales Manager who kindly approved the generous exchange), and Louie (who advocated for us on the finance front) as Honda Windward representatives, are invaluable to skeptical car buyers like ourselves and a refreshing image to an otherwise disreputable industry. We are grateful to Honda Windward where people are treated like people.

"5 Stars"

Our experience with Honda Windward was the best car buying experience ever. The process from the time we stepped out of the car was smooth and easy. I would recommend Greg Sawyer as your salesperson. He made the process extremely easy for us. Total time on the lot and driving away with our new car was only about 2 ours. I would recommend this to anyone on the island looking for a new car.

"Great Service and Sales Departments"

I'd been going to Honda Windward for service on my 13-year-old Accord for a couple of years and was always very pleased with the Service Department. So when it came time to buy a new Honda I had high expectations for the Sales Department.

I'm happy to say that my experience with the Sales team lived up to my expectations. Our salesman, Kevin Asahara, was helpful and friendly. He made sure that all our questions were fully answered and we greatly appreciated his knowledge and advice. Perhaps most importantly, he was calm and patient with us while we decided and we never felt like he was pushing us into a decision. I'm very happy with my new Civic and I look forward to continuing my excellent relationship with Windward Honda.

I purchased my 2011 Honda Fit Sport from Bob Laudick at Honda Windward. I love my honda fit and had a great experience with Bob Laudick as a salesperson.

"Wes in Service is Great"

I recently ran over some road debris, resulting in damage to a heat shield on the underside of my 2008 Honda Civic EX-L. The first thing I did was call Honda Windward, where I had purchased the car, to order a replacement part. I got in touch with Wes Rodan in the parts department, and he was extremely helpful in obtaining the part I needed. Not only was he very knowledgeable, but he was very freindly and professional to boot. Honda Windward's slogan is "We'll Make A Believer Out Of You" and I am a believer!! Thank you Wes, and thank you Honda Windward!!!

"Great Service All Around At Honda Windward"

Dear Honda Windward Management and To Whom It May Concern:

The purpose of my letter is pass on a much deserved compliment to your service department and one very special person at your dealership in particular, Mr. Bob Laudick.

 Bob Laudick assisted me in my purchase of an Acura a few months ago. He knew I was not in the market for a Honda and did not try to pressure me into one. He instead set me up with a contact of his at the Acura dealership in town. The result was the most hassle free car purchase experience I have ever had. That is coming from someone who purchases a new vehicle every three years.

 Mr. Laudick's service did not stop there. A few months after my purchase Bob followed up to remind me that I could service my Acura at the Honda Windward dealership knowing that I live on the Windward side and the Acura dealership in town would be inconvenient. He said they could even service my car in 30 minutes start to finish. I was skeptical but made an appointment. I arrived to service my car the day after Thanksgiving at 8AM. I was told that it would take about 30 minutes. It actually only took about 20. I didn?t even make to across the street to Starbucks. It was by far the least stressful and most inexpensive car service experience I have ever had. Thank you so much to Honda Windward and Bob Laudick.

 I will refer anyone I can in the future to Bob Laudick. His care for his customers is truly evident.

Thanks Again.

With Much Aloha,

"I Rate Your Service as A+"

Thank you for helping us into owning a new car for my daughter.  The experience and service at Windward Honda is excellent and on behalf of my family, I rate your service as A+.  We could have gone to another Honda dealer that was closer to us but what was attracted us to travel further away from home was the way my mother was greeted over the phone.  We were willing to travel all the way to Kaneohe because of just ?that?. 

 Upon arriving we were greeted by Bruce and he was personable and felt us welcome.  Gary the manager was also a pro. 

 In my previous career, I have been trained in sales by the AG Strickland Sales Training Team, the Xerox Sales Training Course and several other courses in sales training with the U.S. Army.  In my previous career, I was a recruiter.  So-----my overall rating for your service is A+.  People wanting any product or any service don?t want to buy but own and people don't want to sign a contract but approve paperwork instead. 

 If I would know of anyone who would like to OWN a car, I'll send them your way.

"Great Service Again!"

Dear Honda Windward,

I'd like to push out a big Mahalo to the staff in both the service, parts and new car sales for making my short visit to Honda Windward a very easy experience. Of note, the shuttle service made doing business very easy and reduced my stress greatly. The advice and service was first rate. I would recommend Honda Windward, and will be back again for my next car.

"Exquisite Service"

Dear Honda Windward:
 
My wife and I have had very good experiences when we have both of our cars serviced at your dealership.  The sincere honesty of your staff, great workmanship, and reasonable prices make driving from Mililani worthwhile.  I would like to take this time to send kudos to Kevin Juan, Senior Service Consultant and the fine technician who took the extra time to have my sticking door lock replaced under warranty.  It's so reassuring that a company stands by their product with exquisite service.  Mahalo.
 
Aloha,

"You Da Best!"

I purchased my Civic last year from Bob Laudick at Honda Windward. The sales experience couldn't have gone smoother; everyone there in sales, finance, and service has been helpful and friendly. There's no other place else I'd go to purchase a vehicle...tell your family and friends!

"Going Out of Your Way in Servicing"

Aloha Windward Honda,
 
Thank you for going out of your way today in servicing my needs for my Honda Accord.  My battery went out on me and I had no means of jump starting it.  You sent someone to my house to start the battery up and I was able to drive to you for servicing.  That was very impressive and I am very grateful to you for that deed.
 
I also felt very comfortable and appreciated the answers given to me in regards to the situation that needed to be taken care of.  Jason Onizuka was very pleasant to speak with and did what he could to help me fix my glove compartment free of charge so that it would not drain the battery from the light being on all the time.
 
MUCH MAHALO'S OUT TO YOU JASON!
 
Also - Much Mahalo's to the gentleman that jumped my car for me at my house... did not get his name but he was very nice.
 
Thank you all again for the excellent service I experienced today.

"Great Customer Service"

My husband and I just moved to the island and had a good idea of what we were looking for before getting here. We had researched dealerships before arriving and chose Honda Windward based on their reviews - which definitely stood up to their reputation! Bob Laudick offered great follow-up without being overbearing and provided honest insight on their inventory while still allowing us to make the final decision about what fit us best.

"Bob Laudick IS Honda Windward."

In January of 2009 I started looking for my first NEW car since 1964. Good friends who had both purchased new Hondas said I must meet Bob Laudick. Well, I did. We talked about what I wanted and he was very helpful. Most everything went like clockwork. I had not realized that a process that I had been dreading could go so smoothly. Bob became my "go to" guy - and still is. And now, more than a year later, he is still my "go to" guy with questions of any kind. That continuing comfort of contact is as important to me as the initial contact was in 2009. I believe in long-term trust and that has to be measured by the test of time. Well, that trust has stood the test of time for me and as far as I am concerned Bob Laudick IS Honda Windward. It was well worth the drive from Honolulu.

"Happy With Andy's Service"

Excellent treatment by sales personnel Andy Resendes Honda Windward

Went into Honda Windward Sunday February 28 and was treated with top respect even as an ordinary couple. Andy made us feel like we were special.  Andy showed us how to cut interest by paying twice a month instead of once a month. Andy's friendliness and help enabled us to drive off in number one rate Honda Fit Sport. Thank you Andy and thank you Honda Windward.

"Honda Windward is the Best Dealer Ever!"

Honda Windward is the best dealer ever. I went to different dealers and told them my budget and what car I was looking for. Because my budget was a little low, most of the dealers rolled their eyes and didn`t treat me respectfully. Honda Windward associates were so friendly and respectful to any one who are looking for any types of cars. They will help you untill you will find the one that match your budget. I highly recommend this dealership.

"Fantastic Service Department"

Fantastic service, great people, well worth the trip from town
Working downtown, we previously dealt with consistently incompetent service managers and mechanics at Pflueger Honda. Finally, we decided to take the drive to try out Windward Honda for a transmission repair and were amazed at their knowledge and professionalism. Dalton and the team took the time to test drive our vehicle a number of times and mount sensors to accurately analyze a transmission issue that we had Pfleuger Honda try to examine three times with no success. They even worked closely with the Honda Extended Warranty agents to ensure the entire transmission replacement was covered under warranty! During my repair, they arranged for my loaner vehicle and even had it delivered to the dealership for my convenience. At the end of it, they also sent us out with a complimentary full service car wash from their auto spa partner, who also did a fantastic job.
I will be driving to Kaneohe for all my auto service needs from now on. Honda Windward service is worth the extra effort for the friendly, knowledgeable team and great work. G. L. Honolulu

I just bought a Honda Civic EX from Honda Windward and had an above-average experience.

"Great Customer Service"

Great customer service, location, no pressure
I bought my first car from Honda Windward 15 years ago and recently returned to buy another vehicle. Although I did not purchase a vehicle, Honda Windward and its staff have upheld their suburb customer service and standard of excellence. Bob Laudick was professional, honest and sincere. Quality's that are rare these days in car salesmen. I recommend Bob and Honda Windward to my friends, family and anyone looking for a first-class dealership. Thank you Bob Laudick and Honda Windward, from your life long customer, Nick L. Kaneohe

Great Buying Experience
Honda Windward is a very customer oriented dealership.  I highly recommend Bob Laudick.  He was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable without being high-pressure.  Their inventory was the best on the island for the vehicle that I was looking for (Element).  This is not the closest Honda dealership to me, but I feel it is well worth the drive to do business here.

"The Blueprint for How Internet Sales Departments Should Work"

My recent purchase of a Honda Pilot at Honda Windward was an enjoyable experience.  Honda Windward's Internet Sales Department, specifically Bob Laudick, should be the blueprint for how internet sales departments should work.  He was timely, courteous and professional.  He quickly built a rapport with us and never resulted to high pressure tactics.  He is very knowledgeable of his products and made you want to come back for more.A truly enjoyable experience - I guess I did make a friend on the Windward side.

"Thank you from a very loyal customer"

Thank you for providing excellent service on my 2007 Honda CRV, 09-08-10.  I was able to call and be scheduled right away.  I appreciate your great pricing which even beats your competitor's coupon deals.  Also my service representative tried numerous times to contact me about needing a new battery (we didn't answer the cell phone number I left).  When we arrived to pick up the car he was able to replace the battery in minutes and we were thrilled by the excellent care and time consideration--above and beyond.  We will continue to make the extra drive out to the Windward side (even when we are closer to Tony Honda) because of the care we receive.  Thank you from a very loyal customer.
 
Sincerely,

Our experience at Honda Windward was truly Awesome. Our salesman Bruce Metzler was outstanding. He was not pushy and he offered valuable advice, which made our decision to purchase our new Honda Civic Ex Coupe easy.

"Great Service And Sales Teams"

I'd been going to Honda Windward for service on my 13-year-old Accord for a couple of years and was always very pleased with the Service Department. So when it came time to buy a new Honda I had high expectations for the Sales Department.

I'm happy to say that my experience with the Sales team lived up to my expectations. Our salesman, Kevin Asahara, was helpful and friendly. He made sure that all our questions were fully answered and we greatly appreciated his knowledge and advice. Perhaps most importantly, he was calm and patient with us while we decided and we never felt like he was pushing us into a decision. I'm very happy with my new Civic and I look forward to continuing my excellent relationship with Windward Honda.

James Igawa was definitely one of the MOST helpful salesmen I have ever met. He showed genuine concern for me and my family's needs when it came to our new vehicle purchase. I came back from an Afghanistan deployment and he truly helped me out in accomplishing my new vehicle purchase needs. I would definitely recommend James and the Honda Windward group over any other!

"Aloha experience with Honda Windward!"

Aloha experience overall! Pros: friendly and honest. Cons: none. I want to thank Bob and everyone at Honda Windward for a great leasing experience. It took some time (over 4 hours) from trade appraisal to driving away in a new Honda, but it was worth the wait. While they didn't make a believer out of me, they surely made a satisfied and surely repeat customer.

"No Pressure..."

My Wife and I just purchased a 2011 Honda Fit and love it. Working with Bob Laudick made our experience at Honda Windward a great one. Bob was very friendly and knowledgeable, which made us feel comfortable with our decision. Throughout the buying process, we did not at anytime feel pressured or overwhelmed. Instead we were very excited and could not wait to take our Honda Fit home. This was by far the best dealership car buying experience we have ever had. Thanks again Bob, we really appreciate all that you've done for us and we intend to share our experience with everyone in our life.

My husband and I just bought a 2011Honda Civic LX and we are so pleased with it. We had such a great experience working with James Igawa. He really went out of his way to make us feel welcome and at home. He provided us with carfax information that allowed us to make an informed decision and unlike other car dealership, the buying process didn't feel pressured or overwhelming. Thank you James for treating us like family. We really appreciate all that you've done for us

"Above And Beyond"

I would like to thank and acknowledge Mr. James Igawa for going above and beyond his job yesterday, 30 December. My husband and I visited Honda Windward as soon as it opened without any hope of getting a vehicle. Mr. Igawa's apprearance along with his professional approach and knowledge in the the business made my experience and purchase memorable. He spent time not only in listening to what i wanted and needed in a vehicle and most of all getting my financing happened. I almost cried when he told me that the vehicle was mine. I appreciate all the time and effort that he had afforded me in the long process (him skipping his lunch) so that I can just leave with a vehicle that I will be happy with. With this experience, my New Year started with a bang! I will definitely recommend Honda Windward especially Mr. James Igawa's excellent customer service and honesty. Mahalo for taking your time in sharing my heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Igawa.

"Great Experience!"

First car purchase in Hawaii so I was concerned about prices and, after initial checking of dealer reviews, I was worried about most I checked out.

I met with Bob Laudick at Honda Windward's internet department. My research on dealers already showed them to be the best rated for brands I was looking at.

NO PRESSURE, but all the information you could want. I spent the next 10 days checking other cars and dealers before deciding I like the Honda Fit the best and had the best experience with the dealer and, of course, a price I was happy with.

Since I had a scheduling problem if I had to go there by bus, Bob came and picked me up today so I could get the car and still get to work on time.

I'm very satisfied.

"Great Experience"

I recently purchased a new vehicle from Bob Laudick at Honda Windward and had a great experience. I live on a neighbor island and did most of the deal over the phone. The car was quickly shipped to me. Bob Laudick was a great salesman as well, he didn't pressure me into buying the car like many other salesmen do. Highly recommended.

"Just Prucahsed a Fit"

I just purchased a sporty little Honda Fit from Honda Windward. It's very comfortable, has a lot of pep, turns on a dime, and has beautiful styling inside and out. Also it's easy to park and drive, has great mileage and numerous air bags for safety. I believe I've made a good choice. The hybrid and Civic were tempting and in my price range, but lacked qualities the Fit had that I wanted. Travis and Andy were pleasant salesmen and gave me a good trade-in value for my old truck. Another plus is that the service center is near my home. Aloha,

Dear Windward Honda!

I am very much delighted with my purchased. I got what I was looking for, around the monthly price I wanted.  I liked that my sales representative had the patience to work with me and took the time to show me the different kind of models; I am very pleased with his recommendations and my new Honda.

My husband and I just bought a new FIT from Bob Laudick at Honda Windward. We have owned new cars and used cars, leased cars big and small over the years. Bob made buying this car a real pleasure. And, that's the first time we have ever been able to say that about buying a car. Thank you, Bob. You made believers out of us.

"No Pressure from Honda Windward"

In researching the new Pilot, we decided to go ahead and purchase. I contacted the 3 Honda dealers on the island; got NO response from one, got a less than favorable response from another and got great responses from the third that were followed up with phone calls. Guess which one I went with...yep, choice number 3, Honda Windward. I had the privilege of working with Bob Laudick. He's very friendly and knowledgeable on the phone and even more so in person.

Bob was genuinely into helping us get the best bang for our buck, so to speak. He laid out the options available and the benefits of choosing one model over another. He didn't try to persuade us to choose the higher priced model, although that's what we ended up going with just because we loved it more than the other. He presented the options and the numbers and left us to discuss them.  While out for our test drive, he pointed out the many features this model had over our previous one (we previously owned an '05 Honda Pilot) as well as the similarities.

The finance manager, Louie Hecht, was great as well! He talked to us about the various warranties and such that were available and did not pressure us to go with any of them. He merely offered suggestions and answered the few questions we had regarding them. Louie got us a better interest rate than our credit union was offering us, saving us literally thousands of dollars in interest over the life of our loan.

We could not be more pleased with the service we received from Honda Windward! A good friend recommended them to me and I'm passing that recommendation on to all of you! Do not hesitate to do business with Bob Laudick at Honda Windward! He and the rest of the staff there will treat you right.

"Wonderful Experience"

Many thanks to Bob Laudick for making my experience trading-in and purchasing a car from Honda Windward an enjoyable one.  I had a wonderful experience where I was not over sold anything, not shown things outside of the cars for which I was looking.  Truly enjoyed working with Bob on the car buying experience and will look to Honda Windward again for my car buying in the future, to include recommendations to friends/family.

"Quick, Comfortable, Easy Service"

I just worked with Kevin Asahara at Honda Windward and the process was perfect. Not that I buys cars often, but this was a non-intimidating, easy process. Service and help are FIRST here.

The Pilot is my first car on my own and I loved how comfortable I felt while making my decision on the lot. No pressure, no overbearing feel of guilt if I decided not to get it. Just genuine hospitality.

I am a shopper that can stare at a product for hours before making a final decision, and Kevin was helpful the entire time.

My family has purchased from Honda Windward repeatedly, and for good reason. Been a believer since I was a kid, not I'm a believer that owns my own car!

"The Best Car Buting Experience"

I had the best car buying experience with Bob Laudick. It was a big decision for me because i have always bought car second hand and for cash. Bob really cared about my needs and went the extra mile to put me in the car best suited for me. He knows his stuff and it's like the rest of the ones who is just looking for the quick sales. He spend four hours with me on his day off. Now that is dedication to the needs of the client.

Bob is about people not about cars which was a great thing for me he really made a believer out of me.

"Great Experience"

Recenty I was in the market for a new vehicle. Wanted a new 2011 HOnda Fit so I went down to Honda Windward because a friend referred me to Travis R. Upon arriving there we were pleasantly greeted by Travis and he wasted no time in showing me what I wanted. He did not try to upsell me or put me into something I did not want. Real professional, low-pressure, and personable. It also helped that he my salesman was nice to look at. LOL. Left there in less than a hour and a half in my new car.....enough time to show-off to my friends. For a good deal and a GREAT car-buying experience see Travis Rieta at HOnda windward.
