This was our first purchase from Roy Schmidt and it was the best, easiest car purchase weve had in 40+ years. We called the dealership looking for a hybrid and talked to Clint. We set up an appointment and he had the car ready to test drive when we arrived. He knew everything about the Accord Hybrid and did a great job of explaining the vehicles features to us, as well as how to receive service after the sale. His sales style was easy-going, knowledgeable and refreshing and he truly made the process so easy. We picked up our beautiful Accord Hybrid 24 hours later and are loving it!

Purchased our vehicle last year from Roy Schmidt, excellent interaction. Took our vehicle back last week to get a Honda roof rack put on... knowledgeable, class act staff. I wish more businesses had the customer care and attention to detail that Roy Schmidt Honda has. Very pleased customer.

Definitely recommend. Purchase process was quick and simple. They fixed any issues I found with the car before I bought it.The 1 down side for our experience that isn’t really a huge deal is they didn’t fill up the gas tank or do a full oil change before we drove it off the lot...every vehicle we’ve ever bought did both as a “thank you for choosing us”. Not a big deal, we are still happy with our purchase, it’s just one of those extra things that are appreciated.

We had a great service experience at Roy Schmidt Honda! We were coming in from out of town and our service engine light came on. We called Roy Schmidt Honda on a Thursday evening and explained the circumstances, even though they were booked solid they got us in for service the next day! By Friday afternoon the car was running great! Everyone was so nice and helpful! Best customer service we have experienced in quite a while!

We really enjoyed working with DJ Dees. He is personable, professional, and made us feel comfortable. It was one of the easiest, least -complicated car deals we have ever made. He gave us a great deal on our new Civic and we love it!

Great friendly service. Car was beautiful and is still beautiful. The dealers at Roy Schmidt let you know that Roy Schmidt is a great dealership from the moment you walk in, all dealers smiling and willing to help.

Roy Schmidt Honda has a hospitable staff, great service, ascetically pleasing interior; I cannot say enough. I went in for a routine oil change on a company vehicle while I was in the Effingham area, and was amazed at the service they provide.

Review №16

I cannot say enough about service advisor Brent Abbott and his service department team at the Honda dealership in Effingham, IL but will try to keep it relatively brief: while traveling from Oklahoma to Indiana two days ago, every systems warning light began flashing on my 2018 CRV as we exited to have dinner and find a hotel for the night. Its important to note that the issue Id experienced the afternoon before leaving was an Emissions Systems Problem light coming on, so I drove directly to the dealership where Id purchased my vehicle (and extended warranty) nearly 4 years earlier. I was told the issue would need further diagnostics performed and the earliest they could work me in was 8 days later - but that I should be fine to take this 1600-mile round trip as long as the light wasnt flashing. Imagine my panic when that warning light (as well as every other one possible) began flashing 500 miles into the trek. Brent was so kind, patient, and efficient regarding my plight, and was able to get us back on the road 3 hours later. Not only was he able to calm my nerves, but also to shrink the total cost down to 10% of what we were expecting initially! I am so impressed by Brent and the Roy Schmidt Honda service department that I would actually prefer to make the trip to Effingham to do business with them over my dealership back home when considering my next vehicle purchase - and have told all my friends this. Thank you, Brent and team - I am your new #1 fan!

Had a wonderful experience buying my car just a few days ago. Clint Antrim was my salesmen and he is AWESOME!!!! Not one time did I feel pressure for him to make a sale and felt as if he truly wanted what was best for me and my experience. Thank you Clint and your team for the wonderful customer service!!

Roy Schmidt always takes great care servicing my Honda CRV. The keep you informed what they are doing and guidance of what is coming up to be done.The employees are friendly and accommodating. They have an awesome waiting area where you can work on your computer, watch TV, or just relax. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. When I leave the service center I’m always at peace that I’m driving away with the best care for my car and peace of mind for me.

I bought a Toyota Tacoma from Roy Schmidt Honda. They gave me a fair price on my trade and the salesman Clint did an outstanding job helping me make the purchase. He was very easy to deal with and i would like to thank him for his patience with me while I worked out the financing. I would highly recommend buying/trading at Roy Schmidt Honda.

Great Honda dealership! Always trying to do what is best for the Customer. Never trying to push unnecessary repairs. I am actually about equidistant between Roy Schmidt Honda and a different Honda dealership. Well, I no longer visit the other Honda dealership. Roy Schmidt Honda certainly earned my business.

Needed an oil change on my travels thru the area and despite a full schedule, Roy Schmidt Honda was able to fit me in. There was even a very clean and accommodating children’s playroom! A better than I could have ever expected experience. Top notch customer service from the service department!

Review №32

I love using Roy Schmidt Honda. I just like how they are so willing to accommodate and do everything they can to fix the problem right and as reasonably as they can. I have used them for several years now and have yet to find another Honda dealer that I trust with my vehicle more then them. I actually chose to pay 3X the amount to have my vehicle towed from my residence to their dealership recently for a transmission issue. Adam in service called me every step of the way to give me options and break down the repairs. If you have a Honda and you want repairs and service done right by a dealer you can trust, then they are the place to take your vehicle!

Review №35

My wife and I had a good experience buying a CR-V there. Salesperson Mark Schmidt was very patient answering all sort of questions regarding vehicle and financing policies. We are one and a half hours away from this dealer, but it worths a travel because their price was ~$800 lower than my local dealer (considering the current microchip shortage, most of dealers sell at MSRP and they dont negotiate prices, few dealers even raise their prices). We did a trade-in and their quote was reasonable (refer to the KBB estimate). We left a few personal items in the traded-in car and Mark mailed those to us on the next business day. Highly recommanded if you want a Honda car with a reasonable price!

After contacting the dealership concerning the vehicle we wanted to purchase, Mark Schultz advised us they did not have one available but could get us one. A few minutes later, Mark called us to advise us they just got one in on their delivery. He told us when we could see it and we bought it. Great customer service.

I was very upfront from the beginning, and knew what I was after- I also know that can be hard to work with at times too. DJ was my salesperson and was exactly the sort of laidback and helpful personality I needed to close this deal. I drove off the lot with a beautiful civic and was welcomed to the Honda family by DJ, the Sales Manager, the GM and Roy himself. I would recommend this Honda dealership to anyone in the area.

Review №57

If your in the market for a new or used car check this place out first. Mark Schmidt was my salesman and did a great job. He had no problem answering all my questions and was very professional. Not once did i feel pressured to buy anything. I also felt they gave me a great price on my trade. I will be a returning customer in the years to come.8-12-20 update now 2 stars...my daughter was in the market for a Honda Civic, thought it was a no brainier to go back to Roy Schmidt for that vehicle. Well I had a completely different experience this time. Called and talked to same sales person, I requested some information and it never showed up. Called back a week later and found out it was sent to the wrong person. Drove to dealership after getting the Carfax to drive a 2016 Civic touring edition. Took it through town and noticed the AC didnt work, when I returned the car the guy said yeah there is something wrong with the AC but Im sure we can fix it. Thats not something you want to hear when your looking to spend $16000 on a used car. The salesman called me when I was leaving town and said well watch our website, if your interested in something else let me know kinda felt like they could care less if I purchased anything from them. They never offered to locate me something, I knew exactly what I wanted so it shouldve been easy. I started looking on autotrader and a week later i ended up driving 4hrs away to pick up my daughters Civic.
