Say whatever you want about all the other accolades that exist for automobiles these days, but the Car & Driver "10Best" list is one of the toughest honors to earn and certainly one of the most prestigious to win.

Earlier this month we all celebrated Veteran's Day, which is a great time to show our soldiers how much they mean to us and how grateful we are for everything they have done and are doing to keep our country safe. Here in the San Antonio area, the military is especially important, as there are so many military bases located so close to the city. Luckily for all these soldiers, Honda offers some great…

November is cruising on by, which means that Thanksgiving is nearly here for those of us that celebrate it. Of course, for the purpose of shopping, Thanksgiving’s proximity means that Black Friday shopping isn't far behind, and we here at Gillman Honda San Antonio are not exempting ourselves from the festivities.

Buying a Honda car or SUV is just the beginning of what we hope is a long and valued relationship, and one way that we like to kick things off is with our new owner clinics.

It used to be that Halloween was an event where kids could wander neighborhoods essentially unsupervised while they racked up all the candy the neighbors could spare, but we live in much different times these days, and our children's safety is much harder to guarantee. To ensure that the kids of Gillman Honda San Antonio customers get the safest, sweetest Halloween experience possible, we've teamed up with the Schertz Family YMCA to host…

While it's pretty common knowledge that the auto industry has seen higher sales numbers for new cars in 2014 than any other year in the history of the business, it's also worth mentioning that the used and certified pre-owned industry is at an all-time high, too. Used cars aren't what they used to be, and that’s a good thing, as they're holding up better and lasting longer than many consumers…

If there’s a word that consumers hate, it’s “worry.” Buying a vehicle should, for all intents and purposes, be a relatively care-free experience, not only at the dealership for the life of the automobile.
