Jim Armstrong
See what our customers are saying about Jim....
11/7/2009 ETHAN - Very good experience.
9/15/2009 JOYCE - Jim Armstrong is an outstanding and honest sales representative; the finance manager was above board and did not pressure us. We shop exclusively at Wilsonville Honda. Understand, if pressured, we leave and do not return. Time was taken to make sure we knew our options, costs, and given a test drive. We got the car WE wanted.
5/18/2009 JOHN - Jim Armstrong was very good, not pushy at all and suggested we get internet quote.
3/23/2009 RICHARD - We bought this vehicle only 3 days ago. So far my comments are favorable. Buying a new car is always a hassle. This purchase was less hassle than usual.
1/31/2009 JENE - Overall very good to work with.
11/18/2008 MARK - This is the 2nd Honda we bought from Wilsonville Honda in the last year. Great buying experience, enjoy their approach to the customer, easy to negotiate a deal, no pressures.
11/14/2008 KATHRYN - You should investigate Jay Lee. I had a horrible experience and that is very rare for me when buying a car. my dealer was wonderful. the salesman, Jim, was very easy going, interesting to talk to, attentive, nopre ssure. had a great experience.
3/5/2009 KENNETH - We were very impressed that the CEO Parker Johnstone himself took the time to walk over and talk to us while we were in the dealership.
2/23/2009 CHRISTOPHER - Great dealership! I was very impressed with how great this dealership was. Especially for the kids. I loved the extra playroom that was very helpful while trying to purchase the car while having the kids there.

Bob Cittadini
See what our customers are saying about Bob....
1/14/2010 KATHLEEN - The best car purchasing experience I have ever had. Everyone was professional, customer service oriented and friendly.
12/19/2009 MELINDA
- I really appreciated Bob's (my salesman's) no
pressure approach. I felt that he was there to help me
buy a car, not to sell me one. I also communicated
via e-mail with Larry, the Internet sales manager, and
found him to be very open about the prices, and he
even volunteered invoice prices to me. I used that
data in negotiations with my local Honda dealer, but
they couldn't get close enough to the deal offered by
Parker Johnstone Honda. I'm very satisfied with the
dealership so far - I'm even taking the car back to their
service department for the free 30-day check, even
though they're 80 miles away.
9/7/2009 NANCY - This dealership was recommended to me by my manager who lives in the Portland area and has purchased vehicles from them. I was extremely pleased with not only their prices but the staff and facility, too, which were very comfortable/nice. I drove the extra distance from Corvallis to check them out, and it was well worth it!!
7/20/2009 KAREN
- I chose Parker Johnstone because of their good
reputation and they lived up to it to the fullest. They
have a wonderful sales staff and are very polite and
friendly. Also, the financial part of it was quick and to
the point. We were able to close in a short amount of
time I am very glad I went there and am very pleased
with my Honda EX-L.
7/11/2009 SHEILA - I had an excellent experience with Wilsonville Honda in purchasing the new Honda Civic. I've purchased from Honda of Salem in the past and had a good experience there as well, but when we (my daughter and I) visited this time to look at both new and late model used cars the salesman seemed condescending and not too interested in us as buyers, so we dealt with Wilsonville Honda instead, where the salesman was very courteous and helpful, and the pricing was fair and upfront.
6/29/2009 VIPIN - I was very happy with the straightforward, honest and hassle-free negotiation process and the general atmosphere at the Wilsonville Honda dealership. I was particularly happy with Mr. Bob Cittadini, Mr. Gene Luther (who were the sales people I was in touch with) and Mr. Jim Smith (who helped me with the loan paperwork, warranty information etc.). I have been to various other Honda dealerships in and around Portland, OR both for researching my own purchase and with friends for their purchases and I would rate my experience with Wilsonville Honda as the best I have had! I would definitely recommend Wilsonville Honda to my family and friends. In fact, I have already recommended two of my friends who are looking to buy a Honda. Yours, Vipin
6/8/2009 CHRISTOPHER - We had a great experience with Parker Johnstone Honda, it was a quick and easy sale, everything was presented up front before we filled out the finance application. Easiest sale that we have ever had. We will definitely be back for our next new Honda .We did have a great experience with this dealership, in fact it was the best car buying experience we have ever had. Thank you!!
6/13/2009 CURTIS - All told my wife and I appreciated the way we were treated. At no time did we feel pressured. The entire experience was conducted in a relaxed atmosphere. Our requests were handled with a sense of customer satisfaction.
5/4/2009 MARK - Wilsonville Honda got my purchase in 20 minutes because they: 1) did not lie about their inventory. 2) agreed to a competitive price online and offered the same quote on the phone.
4/11/2009 MARK - The sales manager took the extra time to find out if she could get me the color car I was looking for. We were willing to go looking for it but she did the work for us and made a trade with another dealership to get it for us. We really appreciated that.
3/28/2009 MARGIE
- I had also purchased a Ridgeline a couple of years
ago, so this was not my first experience with this
Honda dealership. Different salesperson, as the earlier
one had moved. I turned in a Mercedes 500SL on this
car, opting for 4 cylinders instead of 8. This will be the
first time in 40 years that I have not owned a
3/26/2009 MAUREEN
- I was most impressed by the fact the dealership was
clean and very spacious. I had first heard of
Wilsonville Honda on the radio and from a friend who
bought her Honda from them. I live in Lake Oswego
so this dealership isn't the closest to me, but the drive
is worth it. Friendly staff, and best of all - NO
2/28/2009 TRINITY - Parker Johnstone’s Wilsonville Honda is great. The service department is outstanding and the technicians are top notch keep up the good work. Thank you, Eric.
1/22/2009 DAWN - I had an excellent experience and would highly recommend this dealer to anyone who is car shopping.
2/16/2009 LISA -
- We felt very comfortable buying our Honda from the
Wilsonville Honda dealership. We had heard that they
don't pressure you to buy and they were very friendly
from the moment we walked into the sales room.
Compared to the other dealership (Tonkin Gresham
Honda) which is way closer to us physically, we
8/3/2009 MICHELLE - I loved that there was NOT any pressure to purchase quickly. |

8/10/2009 JON - We will return to Parker Johnstone Honda. They are helpful and do not pressure you into anything you do not want. We appreciate that.
7/8/2009 JAN - I bought a new car because of the CARS program. Parker Johnstone Honda was willing to make a deal before they had the final details of the program and they were very open and informative about all where things stood and what risks I was taking. I very much appreciated their willingness to go ahead as I felt the program would be popular and it would be in my best interest to finalize a deal early. I also appreciated how they kept me informed as new info came in.
6/23/2009 RON - The best dealer I have ever been at. My wife and I felt right at home. The only thing we missed that day was doughnuts. They went out of their way to get us the perfect car, a 2010 EX Red Insight

Hugo the manager was also very warm personable and helpful. We went back to the dealership since the staff and center is very pleasant. Our friends have had similar experiences. Thanks so much.
8/28/2009 RON - Wilsonville Honda will be the only place we purchase car from now on-Everyone from the receptionist to the sales guy to the service dept. people were kind friendly and knowledgeable. There was no pressure and they really listened to what we needed. They are the best dealership we have ever worked with. My husband used to sell cars, and he was impressed with their integrity and said he would have stayed in car sales if he had worked at a place like Wilsonville Honda.
5/31/2009 BARRY - Great staff and facility. Love my new Civic Hybrid. Will recommend using this dealer to others.
5/31/2009 ANDREA - I had a good experience with the dealership Wilsonville and I would recommend them to my Friends.

all the cars. Told friends about the Indy Car at the
dealership.
4/30/2009 TONY - The salesperson (Gene) did a great job! I didn't feel any pressure to buy my Honda Pilot. I usually do not fill out surveys, but he deserves recognition for this sale. I could have purchased from a closer dealership in town, but decided to drive 30 minutes out of town in 5:00pm traffic because of his professionalism.

Parker Johnstone, Owner pjohnstone@wilsonvillehonda.com Importantly, Parker is not a "car dealer." He has a degree in engineering from U.C. Berkeley and spent most of his adult life racing for Honda and Acura. When given the opportunity to start Wilsonville Honda he jumped at the chance. "The worst retail experience my wife and I have ever had was trying to purchase a Honda in the Portland Metro. We were treated so badly that I made a promise to Honda and myself that what happened to us would never be repeated at Wilsonville Honda. I believe we're in the people business. We happen to sell a product. That product happens to be automobiles. Those automobiles (thankfully) are Hondas. If you keep that ordering and perspective, customers are always first." In fact, Parker believes that much like the ordering of this staff list, he sits at the bottom of the organization chart, serving those above him. At the top of the chart are our customers. For more background on Parker, see the other links in "About Us." |
