“My daughter came into Padgett Honda today looking to upgrade from her Kia Optima. We were still in the "looking phase", but our salesman Frankie, made us feel comfortable to move forward with a purchase. He was knowledgeable, displayed patience, and had a great personality!! I thank you for being transparent and having the ability to answer all questions. You made my daughter's first "big girl" purchase a smooth process. They should be proud to have you on their team as you are truly an amazing asset!!!”
