"Jeff Cristler was AMAZING! He answered every question I had and had such patience with my kiddos. He put us in a car that we wanted and discussed different feature options of the different body styles. The entertainment system was a great option for upgrade and I would do it again in a heartbeat. My children watch movies while out running errands and no fighting ensues!! Driving with children is much more peaceful in my new Honda Odyssey."

"I just bought my first car today! Ron helped me out and the process was soooo much easier than I imagined it would be. I'm super happy with my new car and I feel confident that the guys at this place will help me out in the future with any help or questions I may have. Thank you!!”

It's time to get into a new CR-V!

There comes that perfect time of year where the summer is turning into the fall and soon after the fall it turns into the winter. What comes with winter? Lots and lots of snow! Especially, here in Boise, Idaho. Here at Larry H. Miller Honda Boise, we would like to prepare you for the snow, as it gets closer to coming down each passing day. One of the best ways that you can commute in the snow would be to drive a new 2014 Honda CR-V. Here’s what Lesley Wimbush from Driving.ca had to say about the 2014 Honda CR-V: 

“The Honda CR-V is a nicely sorted little crossover vehicle, but let’s face it, its placement smack-dab in the middle of practicality-meets-frugality makes it one of the favored choices of folks who view vehicles as appliances, and driving a chore – and therefore would rather be anywhere else but behind the wheel.”

“Suffice it to say, my week spent with the CR-V was quite a bit more pleasant than I’d anticipated.”

“While past models followed the boxy design formula pioneered by the original SUVs, the current CR-V is a bit more rounded, with a sweeping, chrome-finished fascia and almost-edgy tail lights. But if the CR-V, revamped in 2013, is more uptown than its predecessors, it appears a bit frumpy and dated next to some of its stylishly raked competitors like the Kia Sportage, Hyundai Santa Fe or Ford Escape. You’ve got to “suffer for fashion”, so the saying goes, and clearly those cars did – while Honda chose the practical route, the CR-V boasting more interior space and headroom than any other vehicle in its segment…”

So, if that didn’t convince you, we encourage you to contact us and come down to take a test-drive. After taking a CR-V for a spin, we’re highly confident that you’ll see what we’re talking about with how awesome driving a new Honda CR-V can be.

August 2014 brought us an ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and a used car tent sale

Wow, August was a busy month for Larry H. Miller Honda Boise. First off, we had been planning all month for a used car tent sale called the LHM 1000. What we also had come up was the ALS Ice Bucket challenge that came to our store. The senior Vice President for the Larry H. Miller Automotive Group, John O’Brian, challenged our General Manager to do the challenge. Below, you can see how this challenge turned out and how our GM, Chad Bravender, took the challenge.

On to the topic of the LHM 1000! This is a giant used vehicle sale that we love to do a couple times of year. The pre-owned vehicle sale can range from being done over the Memorial Day weekend at Expo Idaho in Boise, or in June. And this month we decided to do it over the Labor Day weekend. Why not, right?

You won’t find a better deal on a used vehicle than at this sale. We always put a lot of inventory on the ground at Expo Idaho in Boise for the LHM 1000, because we want people to come down and to see a wide selection of vehicles that they can choose from. We also have onsite lending, where customers can get approved for the vehicle that they’re looking for on the spot. The last great part about the LHM 1000, is that we stock the place full of food and goodies while customers are here.

View Idaho's used and pre-owned vehicle inventory here.

We love being a part of this sale every year! As you can see, we've teamed up with two other Larry H. Miller stores: Larry H. Miller Subaru Boise and Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise. Remember as always, we are a Larry H. Miller Dealership, which means that we are Driven By You!

Larry H. Miller Honda earns the Autobytel Dealer of the Month for May 2014

May 2014 Autobytel Dealer of the Month

We'd like to congratulate Chad Bravender, General Manager of Larry Miller Honda for being named Autobytel's Dealer of the Month for May 2014.

The Autobytel Dealer Awards Program honors exceptional dealers from a competitive field of thousands of automotive retailers who employ the highest standards in customer service, Internet automotive retail sales and lead management processes.

We recently spoke with Chad about the importance of response times, process, and accountability, and how these factors have been a critical part in driving his store's success as the number one Honda dealer in Idaho.

 Tell us about yourself and your store. What is your official title, what brands do you sell and what are your primary markets?

My name is Chad Bravender and I'm the General Manager of Larry Miller Honda in Boise, Idaho. We sell new and pre-owned Hondas and we're the number one Honda store in Idaho. We serve customers in southern Idaho, a bit of Twin Falls, Boise, and the suburbs of Boise. I have been with the Larry Miller Group for 15 years. We have 54 stores and operate out of 6 western states.

How long have you been an Autobytel dealer and what do you think are the primary benefits of being on the Autobytel program?

Larry Miller Honda has been with the Autobytel program for quite a while now. The leads are good. We know they come from a good source, and we like that Autobytel captures all of the important information - address, phone number, email - which is nice.

What do you think makes you so successful at meeting the needs of today's Internet consumers? Please share a few of your best practices in terms of managing Internet leads.

For us, it's all about process and accountability, and response times are critical. Having the right people to do it is also important! My Internet Manager has been here for a year as well, and we have 6 - 7 reps who also handle leads. We make sure our staff services our customers properly, and we closely monitor how every lead is handled.

What are your thoughts about being named an Autobytel Dealer of the Month?

It's an honor to be named the Autobytel Dealer of the Month. We track performance to make sure our customers are taken care of, and we make sure we have as high a close rate as possible, so it's nice to be noticed for the great work we're doing.

What are some tips or advice you would give other retailers when it comes to effectively managing Internet customers?

Response time is really important. Also, pay attention to the details of the leads, monitor the leads, watch what comes in, and make sure customer questions are answered properly and that they're getting all the right info.

What are your general thoughts about the auto industry right now? How are sales? Any interesting things happening at Larry Miller Honda or with the brand that you'd like to share?

It's a great time to be in the auto industry. Sales are great and we continue to beat sales over the previous year. We are currently building a new store here, so we'll be able to serve more consumers and accommodate more inventory. It opens mid-late next year. Honda is also coming out with new models, which is exciting. Hondas are always reliable, they have a great product, and it's good to be involved with selling this brand.

Please tell us a little bit about yourself...what do you like to do in your free time? Any hobbies or interests of note?

I like to do anything to stay active. I play a lot of softball, and pretty much anything that takes me outside. I am originally from Boise.

Each month, Autobytel's sales and dealer operations teams evaluate prospective candidates from a competitive field of thousands of automotive retailers in the Autobytel network, with a monthly finalist selected based on key online automotive best practices, including conversion rates, lead management processes, customer service principles, customer and brand retention analytics and Internet department practices, among others.
