“Dependability” is a magic word in the auto industry, first and foremost because consumers want to make sure that their hard-earned money goes toward something that’s going to stand up to the test of time. Everybody’s heard a horror story about a good car gone immediately bad, but here at Gillman Honda San Antonio, we like to think that the vehicles we sell hold up a…
If a consumer was told that they could get a cheeseburger with fries and a drink for $3, they’d probably think that was a good deal, just like they’d be perfectly happy spending $12 for a burger made from royal Angus cows. In this scenario, the $3 burger sounds like the better value, but one thing missing in this conversation is the quality of that cheaper…
Here at Gillman Honda San Antonio, we spend a lot of time touting the high quality and overall desirability of the automobiles that we sell so proudly every day, and while it makes loads of sense to spend the majority of our time advertising the product, we don’t always spend enough time building up the incredible men and women that put deserving consumers behind the wheels of some of the most beloved cars in…

When consumers are deciding between purchasing a Honda car or some other vehicle, one of the things that very often splits the difference is the top marks that Honda cars and SUVs tend to earn in regard to safety. Every year both the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration administer a number of really tough crash and safety tests in an attempt to determine which models really are…
When budget-conscious consumers make the decision to purchase a “new” vehicle, there often is a real internal struggle about whether to purchase a brand new automobile or a used or certified pre-owned model, with cost being the primary factor in ultimately making a decision. Vehicles like the 2016 Honda Fit and 2016 Hyundai Accent…
Every automaker on the face of the planet wants to claim that they are among the most fuel-efficient auto brands in the industry, but it doesn’t take long behind the wheel of a Honda vehicle watching the MPG estimator creep skyward to know that when it comes to vehicles like the 2016 Honda HR-V, that green reputation absolutely shows itself in practice.
This isn’t just conjecture, of course, as Green Car Journal recently…
We here at Gillman Honda San Antonio have been talking up the completely-redesigned 2016 Honda Accord for a really long time at this point, but we can’t help it. When the best-selling model in the brand’s history comes out with so varied and anticipated a batch of new cars for its generational upgrade, dealerships can’t help but get a little excited. Now, we’re starting to see the first advertisements for the…
January is an awesome time for people who love cars because that’s when the Detroit Auto Show, one of the largest and most hotly-anticipated automotive exhibitions of the year, finally gets underway.

The completely-redesigned 2016 Honda Civic certainly is drumming up a lot of publicity these days, as we just talked about the new national television spot for the sedan in our last post and now we turn our attention to the fact that it recently was named the 2016 North American Car of the Year at this month’s Detroit Auto Show. Few all-around automotive accolades are considered more prestigious than this one, and it’s…
