Honda Coming to Haven

Posted by Bob Gernert on May 13, 2008 at 9:03 am

Look for a new Honda Automobile Dealership to open on Cypress Gardens Boulevard just west of Hill Nissan. Plans call for a 26,719 sq. ft. facility owned by Frank Rodriguez/Greenway Ford of Orlando. 

The site is currently being cleared and construction will begin when plans are approved and building permits are finalized.

    Fabulous! Now I won’t have to drive to Orlando for service. You’ve made my day!

    Excellent! Mr. Gernert, would you be so gracious to even speculate when the dealership will open?!

    It is really not prudent for me to speculate. A nearby dealership took about 10 months from groundbreaking so it will likely be sometime in 2009.

    Hallelujah! It’ll be nice to get my Accord worked on locally for a change.

    Will they be consolidating the Honda motorcycle dealership into this new site?

    Mr. Pheeling,

    The two franchises are owned by different individuals. They will operate separately.

    @Mr. Pheeling,

    That was a really great question that I was going to ask, but I guess you beat me to it. You are soo smart like that! Do you have a Honda, Manual? If so, what do you have? I have 2 motorcycles and a boat… it’s really great out on our own “Chain of Lakes”!

    @Mr. Gernert,
    Thanks for your prompt responses!

    Mr. Morgan,

    I have a new Honda Civic Hybrid and 2 well-used Honda FourTrax that we use for utility and the occasional mud boggin.’ I agree that the lakes are beautiful, if a little short on water at this point. I’d considered getting a boat, but I’m afraid my funds are a little shallow. Ha ha. Pun intended!

    Mr. Gernert,thank you for answering my question. Any chance of a Yamaha dealership any time soon?

    @Mr. Pheeling,
    Oh man a fellow mud bogger! We’ll have to meet up I have an Abrams M1 Tank that I use for my offroad adventures. Kidding. Boat is a good investment, specially here in WH.

    @Mr. Gernert,
    Any chance of a Tank dealership coming to town?
