Great experience at Big Island Motors. Would recommend purchasing a new vehicle from this dealership if you're on the Big Island of Hawaii. Very easy to work with and was able to get us to the vehicle cost we were looking for. Jeff and Hank were both excellent to work with.

I have been dealing with a lot of challenges and needed a reliable vehicle. After researching and visited multiple dealerships, i came across this one. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. They made things happen for me as i hold 2 full time jobs and don't really have much time to shop around much. I am VERY SATISFIED with the outcome of this process and will recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a vehicle.

The dealership fully satisfied me in every way except for under considerably under-valuing the car I traded in for my Hyundai Tucson Limited. Otherwise I have nothing but good words to say about the dealership and the cars I've bought from them over the years

Owen Tobias is the reason I bought this car. Plus he solved a minor maintenance problem on Saturday after my purchase, when your service department is closed which is totally ridiculous. Great salesperson

For me getting a new car ranks right up there with root canal: it has to be done so let's just get it over with. Big Island Motors was a refreshing change. Having leased two Hyundai vehicles on the mainland I knew the car and what I wanted. I also knew what my lease payments should be with how much money up front. The people at Big Island Motors were knowledgeable without being pushy. Most importantly they didn't try to play games with the pricing, unlike another local dealer for a different make. They offered some additional options ...

The salesman Yasuo was great. He helped and answered all question we had he even had the car we wanted to look at brought over to Hilo from Kona so we didn't have to make that drive. The guys doing the paperwork took WAY to long and were really kinda pushy about selling us extras. They took so long with paperwork we were there almost 5 hours. Which is way to long. Besides that all was good and we got a great car.

I purchased my Subaru Crosstrek in July 2016. I looked at other cars both at this dealer and elsewhere. The salesman, Ryan, was knowledgeable and listened to me. I originally was looking at a different type of vehicle but after hearing the things I wanted in a car he recommended I look at this car. He was right and this car has been everything I expected. I felt I received a very fair price. In addition I have had regular service plus two unexpected visits. All were positive. I lost one of my keys and they were attentive to my needs. ...

I bought a Hyundai Tucson and I am satisfied with it. It runs well, gets good mileage, has plenty of room, handles well and has a good sound system that connects to a system that lets me answer the phone without using my hands. I figure I will get about 100,000 miles out of it.

Over all the buying experience was pretty good, the sales person was very professional and the car I purchased was on its way from somewhere else, They did not have on the lot what I wanted, so I waited a month for the new one to come in, followed it on the computer and knew when it came in before they did, it went to the other side of the Island, however, we got that straightened out and the car was delivered in good shape and cleaned and ready to pick up in a timely fashion.

Very professional and friendly staff. Met sales people, financing, sales manager, and maintenance people. Got a nice ride home when I had to drop it off for coating. One thing worth mentioning. My husband has Parkinson's disease and got very tired during our first visit. We had decided to buy the car but had to wait a little to meet with the finance person because they had another customer purchasing ahead of us. The sales manager came out and sent us home and told us to come back the next day, as our salesman had told him my husband ...
