Serra Champaign

Yemi was a fantastic salesman and a joy to work with. He made the experience fun and effortless. One of the best we’ve ever done business with!

We recently were in need of a new car and after spending time on-line decided that a Honda was what we were interested in. After checking the usual suspects (CarMax, Carvana) we realized that our local Honda dealership (Serra Honda in Savoy) had great inventory and all the advantages of buying local. After checking some boxes on line on the website a sales associate, Yemi Akinsola, reached out to us. May I say, if you want to have an amazing morning, drop by the Honda dealership and ask to see Yemi. He is a joy to visit with. Even if you have no interest in buying a car, he is an amazing man very worthy of your time to get to know. So after several email exchanges we settle on (we think) the type of Honda we want and a time to meet up. Being an older couple and it having been a while since buying a new car, we had a lot of questions. Yemi was extremely patient with us, answering our questions, and all of this was by texting before we met. When we finally did meet, it was as if we were meeting an old friend. Yemi reviewed our “musts” and “likes” and was quickly able to point us to a line of cars that would meet our needs - which interestingly was not what we originally thought about getting and was actually a less expensive model. He listened to us and communicated with intelligence and empathy. Once we worked out what we wanted to purchase, we were greeted by Ross Beninato, who helped us work out the finances. Ross explained the various add-ons available to us and in a pressure free setting help us navigate what was best for us by sharing information without judgement. Before we left we were introduced to their service department. There were so many positive aspects to this buying experience, I am leaving them out so that this review is not too long. If you are interested in a Honda, or a fun morning, contact Yemi at our local Honda dealership. Who knows, you might come away with a new car, but you will definitely come away with a new friend. We did.

The experience I had buying my new Honda Accord from this dealership was nothing short of exceptional. I worked with Lindsay Poland and she was knowledgable, friendly, and attentive- but not pushy! Not only was Lindsay phenomenal, the entire team I dealt with was truly nothing short of amazing. I will recommend this dealership to my friends. It was truly nice to have a great car buying experience!
