Talk Story with an Advertiser: Big Island Honda Kona

There are a number of reasons why so many drivers flock to Big Island Honda’s Kona showroom. They’re renowned for their superb selection of new Honda models. When it comes time to upgrade, many customers trade in their vehicle. These used cars are also offered to their customers, and some are even certified with the same guaranteed performance and quality as new ones.

They have financing experts who will help you drive home the car you’ve chosen on your terms.

Big Island Honda also has a state-of-the-art auto repair center, which is equipped with the latest Honda parts and staffs it with highly trained mechanics.

You can even browse their inventory online, request more information about vehicles, set up a test-drive, and inquire about financing options.

One of the things that makes Big Island Honda in Kona so special besides their inventory and staff, is their commitment to supporting the West Hawai‘i community. One of the events they have sponsored recently are Kalikimaka No Na Keiki (a holiday program sponsored by Family Support Hawai‘i) where Big Island Honda provided books, clothes, and shoes for five children this past Christmas. They also support Hospice of Kona, Peaman races, PACE, and many other local school and community events.
