Former Starbucks President Got it Right

10 03 2011

Recently for a class asignment, I was required to read any non-fiction book that deals with the topic of business management. I knew of the perfect one, It’s Not About the Coffee: Lessons on Puttin People First from a Life at Starbucks by Howard Behar (former CEO of the company). I knew it was the one I would read because I did not have to buy a new one- I had bought it at the bookstore months before for $3, a steal.

Even though he wrote it from having experience at Starbucks, its a great read for any person that deals with customers on a daily basis. In the book he had listed Ten Principles of Personal Leadership, each principle has some sort of value when it comes to putting people first before a sale. Without the people, you cannot do business anyway.

Like any business, in the car business, customers are everything. The dealership cannot survive if the traffic isn’t coming into the showroom. Here at Thomas Team Honda we strive for customer service excellence, and you can see this in the various reviews we get on www.dealerrater.com after each sale. I will post the Ten Principles in a later post.

Heard of Having a 4.0? We Have a 4.8!

1 03 2011

Our internet sales manager ,Samantha, said it best on Facebook: “who in their right mind would not want to purchase a vehicle from people who are honest, have integrity, and will treat you right?” Sometimes vehicles now a days are costing as much as a new home, so when it comes to making the big decision about your next set of wheels, wouldn’t a dealership that is honest, has integrability, and excellent customer service be at the top of your list?

In addition to the bullet points made about our dealership, in a previous post, another reason for trusting our dealership with your next vehicle purchase are the awesome and I truly mean awesome feedback that we have been getting from our recent customers. A couple in particular that I really like will be shown below.

My Review of Thomas Honda of Johnstown:
I was very happy with the over all customer service I had received when I purchased my 2006 Volkswagen Jetta. The time that was taken to ensure that all the proper paper work was taken care of and how nice my representative was made this experience great. I would recommend anyone that is looking for a new or used vehicle to shop at Thomas Team Honda of Johnstown.

My Review of Thomas Honda of Johnstown:
I’m in my 60′s and have purchased many cars during my lifetime. It’s extremely rare to find a dealership that treats you as well as Thomas Honda. I dealt with Samantha on the internet and Rich in the showroom. They were honest, respecful, responsive, and an absolute joy to deal with. My son accompanied me on my first trip to the showroom, and he was so impressed that he bought a new Honda from Rich a week after I bought mine. We have 5 Hondas in the family right now and all of our future purchases will be through Thomas Honda.

These reviews are especially helpful for those of you that are unsure about traveling a distance to look at a car you saw online. We really do strive to go above and beyond. The reviews are all taken from the website www.dealerrater.com, and if you think I am only pulling the really good ones you are wrong! We have an outstanding overall score of 4.8 out of a total 5. So check it out yourself to read some more great reviews about our fantastic dealership!
