I stopped in to Acura of Seattle last week as I was out shopping for a RELIABLE Japanese economy car to replace my high maintenance BMW. I was planning to get a Honda Civic Si, but all of the local dealers in Seattle were out of stock and not willing to budge an inch on the $25,999.00 price tag. Ouch. Quite a bit for a Honda. ...so I checked Honda's luxury line, Acura.
I spotted a few Acura RSX's left on the lot. Turns out Acura will quit making the RSX after 2006 and what was on the lot was all that was left! To my surprise 3 of them were Type-S cars. This is the higher-end equivalent of the Civic Si. AND they had SILVER, my first color choice. :-)
The deal came together quickly, and I was pleased with the trade-in allowance this dealer gave me for the BMW. It was a few THOUSAND dollars more than the Honda dealers would give me. While they didn't budge from the asking price for the car (they had the last ones left in the state of Washington apparently), the trade allowance made the car about the same price as the Civic Si - and loaded with more features!
Now, for the patience part... Most everyone I spoke with at the Dealership was a new employee. Not sure why, but they were all on a learning curve, and this resulted in LONG waits and a couple of screw-ups on their part. Nothing too major, but I would suggest keeping a close tab on how the process is moving along as a buyer.
The sales agent was GREAT - you have to ask for Clyde when you stop by. No pressure, always smiling and laughing (even at MY jokes!), and anything but a "used car salesman" personality. A couple of observations: The Sales Manager while at first friendly, became very standoffish once the deal was sealed. Maybe he's just a busy guy, but I expected better from Acura. Also, watch out for the after-purchase "options" that will come flying your way when you sign the loan docs. I did opt for the Lojack and Gap insurance, but if I would have taken it all my price would have been over $7,000.00 more! Just know what you want, and what you don't before you go in.
The receptionists, while young and attractive, are also young and clueless. But, with a little persistence they did ask the Sales Manager what should be done next, and semi-quickly resolved the delays.
I love my new Acura, and the Dealership will get good ratings from me on their survey. I'm sure the kinks in the processes will work themselves out as the staff is on board longer. :-)

I don't know about the last person but I have worked with the service writer named David and he is very helpful when it comes to my car. He always meets me at the car and opens my door. I have always used my warranty and he has been great on getting things covered. All the guys including David at Acura of Seattle are the best around. Unlike the last guy I would recommend this dealership for all your service needs in and out of warranty coverage.

The staff here is so friendyl and helpful as well as extremely knowledgeable so if you've got questions, shoot! I get most of my pilot supplies here and they always have what I need in stock. Books, approach plates, flight gear, toys, just about everything. A very convenient place as well if you ever find yourself at BFI with time to kill. Such a nice store.
PROS: Great people and products. Awesome selection.
CONS:

Mixed review here. Good work, very good price, personable worker. Unfortunately, the installer called to reschedule not once, but twice and it was clear from conversation that he was perpetually overcommitted. To his credit, he was certainly apologetic, and gave us a free upgrade on our windshield (tinting), but you'll have to decide what it's worth to you. This is a mobile service (they come to you), and it was cheaper than the store-front businesses we called!

We bought a used vehicle here and they were so friendly and didn't badger us to make the deal they wanted. They actually gave us a great deal and we couldn't be happier. The store was clean and the lot neat.

First Experience: Ok, so in October of 2004, we wanted to look at a van they had posted online. We called in advance to get some info on it. We got there, ofcourse the caravan is the base model, exactly not what we were looking for. Ofcourse they had a couple of other vans we "might be interested in." We checked them out, and ended up driving one home, a really nice 2004 Chrylser Town & Country. My husbands idea. That overall experience is what I would call average. I have had various dealers tell me that they had a certain vehicle still on their lot, and when we get there it's "Oh, we must have sold it, would you like to look at....." We actually loved the Town Country Van.
Second experience: Even thought we loved our T &C, it had a couple of problems. Since it was still under warranty, we took it back to Bill Pierre to have it serviced. Their Service department sucks. They are very friendly and helpful taking appointments and helping you with the warranty people. But their mechanics suck. It took 4 trips to the service department to fix the problem. I would drive it home and still hear the knocking sound they were suppose to have fixed. Then the straw that broke the camel's back was when the mechanic forgot to put in the large bolt that attached the wheel to something very important(I don't know all the technical terms). Now, along with the knocking sound there was a grinding sound after picking it up from Bill Pierre. That metal piece that was suppose to be bolted could have gotten stuck in the wheel while driving ad cause a serious accident! The guy who handles the appointments was very upset about this, and ofcourse they fixed it right away!
Third experience: We actually Totalled the van we bought from Bill Pierre on christmas 2005. Fun Stuff. So since I really liked my van, I started to look online again for another Town & Country. Found a couple, called bill pierre up, they said "stop by we will have it out front for you". I get there, no one knows what I am talking about. They cannot even find the van I had called about. Disappointed, I went home without a van. They tried to show me several others, but they were not vans I had found online with all the specifications we wanted. They lost a sale that day.
I won't buy another vehicle there again.

I have nothing but good things to say about Bill Pierre Auto Centers (Pierre Ford, Pierre Chevrolet and Pierre Money Mart). They're absolutely the best places to buy new and used cars in greater Seattle because they advertise exactly what their prices, discounts and financing options are, their sales staff consist only of experienced, PROFESSIONAL salespeople who have been selling cars for years, and their financing is a steal compared to the many other places I've been to. If you're going to buy a new or used vehicle, make sure you take a look at their attractive financing offers and discounts in the numerous ads they place every week, and then stop by one of their many locations. Lake City seems to be the hub of everything, and it's where the most cars are sold. You won't be disappointed. I sure wasn't!
Pros: Good reputation, intelligent, kind, sincere, honest and fun
Cons: there were no complaints

This place is full of liars and cheats with no morals what so ever. I called on an add found the car I called on was to exspensive. The salsman asked what I was looking for He went away from the phone and came back stating that He had 14 cars In the model, Price, Options, Milage I was looking for. When I arrived they said they had no cars that fit my Model, Price, and Option. This is a bait and swithch operation with no morals. Read the reviews this is business as usual to lie and cheat the customers.
