We are so pleased to be settled in and getting back to business as usual here at Honda North.  It has been a busy and spectacular last month with our move behind us and gaining control of our newer, larger, more able ship.  It was a huge effort by all in relocating and organizing our new place.  Honda North owners and managers would like to thank all of our employees for their fantastic efforts. 
Since our move in May 1st, we have had several significant happenings.  We enjoyed our Grand Opening Sale Event in the latter part of May, as well as our Ribbon Cutting performed by the Butler County Chamber of Commerce, and our formal Grand Opening Reception.  The reception was fabulous with a great band, as well as finger foods and cocktails. 
For the month of June, Honda North is continuing our Grand Opening celebration by offering 0% financing on any in stock 2010 Honda Accord and Civic! This is a Honda North exclusive offer.  Please call or email 800-786-2756 or sales@hondanorth.net for further information.

 Please enjoy some updated photos of our new Honda offering to Butler, Cranberry, and North Pittsburgh. 

Best.

Moving day

People have been asking us for weeks... "How are you going to move all of those cars?". It's quite simple really, you grab a couple of vans and as many drivers as you can and make a few dozen trips.

And these are just our used cars.

Final details are being wrapped up and cleaning of the new mothership is beginning to take place.  This is one of the most upscale, finest dealerships that you will visit in the greater Pittsburgh area. At the same time, we will still be pleased to honor all of the best prices anywhere in the area.  Imagine visiting a President's awared wining Honda dealer in a brand new, 32,000 square foot facility complete with the most comfortable amenities in all of Pittsburgh for both Sales and Service.  Bring your kids to play in the new Children's Play Area complete with games/ puzzles/ TV/DVD, Disney movies, etc., while you get to enjoy free fresh coffee and watch the 46" flat panel and enjoy wireless internet availability.  Free loaner cars are also available to all of our customers.

Please feel free to stop by and see us and visit our new facility.  We would be very pleased to show you around and welcome you in any way possible.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are coming into the home stretch of this amazing project and all final details will be buttoned up over the next 3 weeks.  This new dealership is turning out phenomenally and will be the largest, most state of the art new Honda facility in the Pittsburgh Region and further.  Recent accomplishments have been:  All drywall hanging and painting, HVAC system completion, all drop ceiling and lighting installed, security system and camera installation, all exterior finishes completed or near completion, pouring of concrete display pads, final glass/ window/ door installation, and more.  Final details to be addressed in the next 2 weeks or so will be:  Main brand signage being moved/ installed, finishing layer of asphalt/ tar and chip/ line painting/ decorative concrete bases, car wash installation, final touches on Speed Shop Accessory Display Area/ Children's Play Area/ Customer Lounge, flooring completion, and entire dealership landscaping.   I would like to thank all of our local contractors, primarily out of the Butler, Cranberry, and North Pittsburgh areas, as well as Meadville, Saegertown, and Conneaut Lake, Pa, for their professionalism during this project.

During and after all this is completed comes the minor detail of physically moving an entire car dealership and all of its contents.  Some items will be easier than others.  Picking up a PC and a desk blotter, not that bad.  Picking up and moving an alignment rack capable of holding a 8000 lb. vehicle, as well as air compressors, brake machines, and an entire Parts Department with over 20,000 parts, not quite as easy.  We're particularly looking forward to this week or two of total chaos, while needing to sell and service cars in the meantime.  I can only hope for the "activity breeds activity" assumption and that many will come to check out our new home.  The timing of this whole project could not be better for many reasons.  Automobile sales for Honda and Used Vehicles are very strong and we have had many instances of being at capacity in our existing facility, which is only 6 years old.  We have outgrown our Service and Parts facilities as well and welcome the new 16 stall Service Center and increased Parts Department space to better service our customers.  Accompanied with higher volume of Sales and Service is the need for more people and more space.  Volume has fluctuated considerably over the past year of very interesting times, but overall we continue to grow at a controlled rate.  New Vehicle Sales this year should top 1000 and Used Vehicle Sales over 700. 

On behalf of the owners of Honda North in Butler, Pa, please allow me to thank you for your support and consideration from the bottom of my heart.  Our customers are the greatest on the planet and are the reason why we exist today.  We appreciate your following our updates and thank you for your feedback.  Please continue to keep an eye on our blog, as well as follow our activity and updates on Facebook and Twitter. 

We look forward to a very bright future with you.

Very best,
