We were recently in the market to purchase a quality used car. We visited several dealerships over multiple days and spoke with two different sales reps at Frank Leta. Both were very helpful. On the day we were making our final choice, the first rep was not available so we worked with John (Joe) White. He helped us examine the car we wanted and negotiated what we thought was a reasonable price for the car and our trade in. We also met with Jonathan to sign the final contract and reviewing options for additional warranty coverage. Both John and Jonathan answered all of our questions and helped guide us in the process. Overall the experience was great. read more

I've been a repeat service department customer since 2006 and have had good experiences every time the car has been serviced. Recently bought my first car from Joe White on the sales team and he was top notch, as was the finance team. I would recommend the business in general and expect that I will buy my next vehicle from this team. read more

When I use an internet service to price Honda's, one dealer stands out: Frank Leta proudly advertised over a thousand dollars over MSRP in junk charges. Interestingly, the junk charges don't appear on their website. It makes me wonder what kind of price you would get if you walked in off the street. read more

I took my Honda Civic 2010 to Frank Leta as I had the check engine and drive transmission lights on on my dash and it was not switching gears. My car has only 66000 miles on it and it was most likely that the transmission itself was not bad. I left my car a whole day for tests for which I paid $90. The next day Jason calls me to say the tests were inconclusive and that the technicians could not determine the reason for the error codes but they were recommending to replace the transmission for only $2200. I didn't buy that crap and took my car to AAMCO. After less than 15 minutes they diagnosed a bad input speed sensor that costed me $390 - not great, but much better than $2200 and my car is working perfectly now. Now I'm going to call my credit car vendor to get my $90 back as the diagnosis from Frank Leta was completely wrong and misleading. Be careful with this dealer. I'll never go back there for anything. They're not honest at all. read more

Very bad experience with leasing with Frank Leta Honda and witnessed some of their predatory practices. I could go more about how much of a hassle the process was, constant change in prices/ switching positions/ trying to upsell you on worthless features. But I ended up leasing a vehicle from them when I initially moved to St Louis. Ended completing the lease pay off all of the dues and get some letter in the mail 1 year later about a huge sum of money owed for taxes. I review my contract and talked to them, since it was a lease they were responsible for the taxes and I paid them a monthly bill (which included taxes/ registration), on time and was never late. Received a pretty nasty phone call threatening to send a bill to collection of something of that sort. I asked to review a copy of my contract with them and this became impossible to find or located and I am pretty sure they were responsible for taxes, at least that what I signed. I rarely leave yelp reviews, but I just want everyone to be aware of the bad and predatory leasing properties from this company. Lease from them at your own risk. read more

I have always loved my civics but will never ever go to Frank Leta Honda again for any service including a simple oil change. My 2003 Civil (yes they run forever) had the front low beam light go out. I of course put in a new bulb but determined it was in the wiring. I was originally going to take it to my local shop but when I googled the head light issue it has been a Honda recall. When I called Frank Leta they said I had already had the recall repair made in 2012 and only one repair as allowed. They said to bring it in to look at and Maybe Honda would pay for a second repair. Of course they said the problem was in the fuse box and the repair cost was $839.28!!!! When I said no thanks, they actually tried to charge me a $100 diagnostic fee. They did back down on this. I went my local shop and guess what? It was the fuse box with a charge of $28.50. NEVER EVER have repairs done at Frank Leta. RIP OFF CITY!!!! read more

Tried to buy a car yesterday , but simply cannot do business with them. Go to Napleton.

I had already gone to Bommarito to look at a a Ford Focus and their Honda Civic. I also went to Seeger to look at the Corolla, however I wasn't sold until I talked to Jason at Frank Leta. Not only did he take the time to explain everything thoroughly to me, but I never at all felt pressured to buy. I came in to look and I left the next day with a brand new, beautiful Civic. I can t recommend Jason enough to everybody. He s a great salesman and he makes the entire experience very easy. Go talk to Jason!!! read more

Frank Leta Honda - Jason Groeller, my favorite salesman! Thanks for the new car! - Auto Repair Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

I do not recommend this dealership. I honestly don't know how they have been getting stellar reviews! Yes they try to be nice and stuff, but that does not make up for the huge incompetence in their operation. Mind you I was nice and cooperative the whole time. It's not like I was one of those obnoxious customers. So the story started with me going to Frank Leta because of its great reviews. I test drove some cars, decided on the car I wanted, and put down a deposit so that I can come back later to pick up the car. However, I had to go in to the dealership THREE more times before they finally figured out all of the paperwork I needed to qualify for the college grad program. So that was a lot of time and gas wasted. We finally got the deal together and I went ahead to finalize the purchase. I drove my new car home and although the car had smudges and fingerprints in the interior (obviously not properly detailed as promised), I decided to just forget about it and be happy with it. But NO, that was not the end of my horror story. The dealership ended up failing to mail the title to me after the "10-14 business days", even though I called the front desk, my sales person, the finance person, and the manager many times to remind them. To this date I have not received the title, it's been almost a month since the purchase, and my temporary tag is expiring tomorrow. My suspicion is that the paperwork got forgotten somewhere in the dealership, and some major communication failures happened between different departments. Every time I called the dealership, it always ended up going to the voice mail after the receptionist transferred me over. You know what's funny? In the end it was the receptionist who tracked down the package for me. Overall, my experience indicates that this dealership is hugely incompetent. The sales and finance teams will try to be nice to you, but they clearly cannot care less about the customers once they walk out of the doors. St. Louis people, don't be fooled by the reviews. I've been to dealerships that are far better. Trust me. This place is not worth your time. read more

It is unbelievable that when I have an appointment for an oil change and I get there on time, they say it will be an hour and 15 minutes, it takes 2 1/2 hours! The wifi connection doesn't work for even one full minute so I couldn't get anything done while I waited. No car wash either, I get in and my radio isn't working and needs a code to turn it on. Simple customer service would be to tell me this or help with it. I have been going there for 3 years b/c that's where I bought my car but never again, it's gotten worse over time. It seems like a joke the way the service dept. works. read more

While purchasing a 2003 CRV from this dealership, I requested that the broken CD player be replaced. Two weeks later, I called to remind the dealership about our agreement. I took my car in and in two days picked it up, only to find out that the cheap replacement was either not installed properly or broken, since it could never be programmed. They agreed to fix/replace it again, but since they had contracted out the service, they gave me the contractor's phone number and left me to contact him and make my own arrangements. Of course, my many phone calls were not returned and the broken radio/CD player remained broken. Subsequent calls to the dealership regarding this were fruitless. I finally gave up. Meanwhile, I received a recall notice from Honda and opted to return to this dealership for the repair. (Apparently, something wasn't quite right in my head.) I had also discovered that my door switches were not working properly and as a result, I was often unable to secure my vehicle, and other times I was getting automatically locked out of my vehicle. This sucks when you're pumping gas. After a week in the shop, I received a call from the service manager. He said it seems that a broken Multi Control Unit was to blame for the door lock malfunction and in fact, this was quite common in CRVs. This little repair would cost me only $850.....and since it had been less than 3 months since I purchased the vehicle, they "might" be willing to work with me to reduce the cost a bit. Buying some time, so I could get a second opinion, I told them that I could not afford this repair at the time, so they said they would only charge me only $85 for the "diagnostic". After losing my temper a bit with them, they eventually dropped this charge, since they hadn't told me about diagnostic cost when I dropped the vehicle off. Once retrieved, my husband inspected the door switch situation for me and discovered that they were missing entirely! Now, common sense says that if they had TRULY performed a diagnostic, (that they were more than willing to charge me for ) they might have discovered this? Now, for the coup de grace...... After having my car for an entire week in their shop, they NEVER performed the recall service!!! What were they doing?? After discovering that the recall service was not on my invoice, I called the service department THREE TIMES. Each time I was directed to voice mail. NONE of my calls were returned. Eventually, my husband replaced the door switches himself ($37 and 30 minutes). My car works perfectly now. We also finally replaced the piece of junk broken radio ourselves. Lesson learned. NEVER TRUST A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS!! read more

Bought my car here and it's great. The problem I have is the obnoxious wait time in getting your car serviced for anything. Even just a car wash takes forever and they do not do that great of a job. I asked them specifically if they could clean the inside of my front windshield for example. When they were done they said it had been done. It hadn't. Furthermore they services my car and on my way home my tire pressure alert came on. All tires were okay on pressure but a bit low. They didn't fill up any of them as they said they would do. Just overall lacking service. read more

Would never recommend this place! Tried to take advantage of a young female buying a vehicle - lied about the price online, forgot" what they had agreed to earlier that week, and wasted my time when I came in to talk about financing AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY ALREADY SOLD THE CAR!!! Would give 0 stars if possible read more

Had a horrible experience , I felt I was pressured into buying it . I said several times I don't think this is a good idea . Even before I signed the papers I asked to back out and they pressured me into it saying it was a good idea . I left the dealership feeling like I got scammed . I called shortly after like within like 24 hours to see if I could change my mind he and I regretted my decision and the sales agent didn't even remember me in the slightest . read more

We just bought a car for our daughter there, and it was a great experience. Excellent service and our Finance associate, Anthony Santos, was fantastic! Our salesman, Ken, was too, very, very helpful. Honest and eager to answer our questions and help us, all the way through the process. read more

* I found a certified 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid for sale online at Frank Leta Honda O'fallon, Misouri. * I called to get information on it. I asked for the condition and if it had been previously damaged. They told me it was very well cared for and clean. Great condition. I asked about the features including heated seats, leather seats, navigation, Bluetooth and steering wheel controls. They told me it had all of these. * I asked about trade-in value for my car. * After giving them the VIN and other information they quoted me $8000 trade-in value. Based on this number, I decided to trade-in. * I decided I wanted to get the car but couldn't make the 5 hour drive for a week. * They told me I needed to put down a $500 deposit that could be applied to my down payment. * I made the deposit. * I drove to O'Fallon, Missouri from Overland Park, Kansas to pick up the car in July 2012. * I waited 1 hour to begin my transaction because no one could wait on me except my sales guy (according to them) and he was "running late." * They showed me the car in a showroom that had the lights off... very dark and hard to see any flaws. I got in to check out the features and found out there were actually NO heated seats. Remember they had told me there were. When I asked about it, the salesman got defensive and argued that he never told me there were heated seats... he did. * After evaluating my car they offered me $7000 trade-in. I said no and they said the highest they could go was $7250. * I felt trapped because I had already given a $500 deposit and driven the 5 hour drive to get there, so I had to go ahead and agree to $7250. I felt completely taken advantage of. * The salesman also told me (after I had already made a deposit and driven so far) that the leather, nav, Bluetooth and steering wheel controls were all after market. He neglected to tell me that when I was asking all my questions before making my deposit. * After leaving the lot, I realized they had had a paper sign over a major flaw in the rear window's tint. They also had parked the car in a way where the side I was seeing was not the one with major, deep scratches on the rear bumper. I also realized there were dents on the hood. These are things they easily could have fixed themselves but didn't bother to. I also feel like a Honda Certified car should have been free of these simple-to-fix cosmetic flaws. * In my first two weeks of owning the car I was getting ridiculously low gas mileage. It was supposed to get 40mpg city and 45mpg highway. I was averaging 30 and each day it seemed to drop. * I called Frank Leta wanting to return it because I was so unhappy. They refused and told me I needed to take it to a local dealership to determine why it was getting such low gas mileage. * I took it in the next Monday and they called to tell me that the battery engine was severely corroded. * O'Neil Honda told me that my Honda Certified warranty covered this replacement. Normally I would be happy about that except for the fact that the salesman at the dealership I purchased the car at (Frank Leta) told me that if I wanted the battery engine covered, I had to purchase this really expensive extended warranty plan, so I did. Now I'm feeling like that was just a huge waste of money, and I didn't even neeed it. * After all these headaches, I felt entitled to some sort of refund. I would have liked to just return the car but Frank Leta refused. I called them and spoke to a general manager. He said he would pass my information along to another person to determine what to do and he would call me back. * Another Frank Leta manager called me and I had to go through my story all over again. He said he would talk to another manager and get back to me. Two weeks went by with no call. I called them back and had to explain my whole story again to another manager. He said he would check with someone else and call me back. I called them back again and had to explain my whole story again. He asked for me to fax him the information that my local dealership (O'Neil Honda) had provided me with showing that the battery was corroded. I faxed him the paperwork. I never heard back from him. I called him several weeks later about it and he said he would send me a couple gas cards. I said that was not good enough and he said he would see what he could do. I never heard from him again. I called and left him a voicemail. He stopped returning or taking my calls. * I couldn't believe that Frank Leta had sold me a "CERTIFIED" car with a corroded battery engine, lots of cosmetic damage, after market interiors and technology, and a previous wreck (found this out after purchasing as well... guess they "forgot" to mention that when I was asking about the car's condition and history before I made my deposit). read more

I had a great experience buying my new Honda Accord. Jason Hawkins was incredibly patient and very kind. He truly listened to what I wanted in a car and found one exactly with my wants. He thoroughly went through every feature of every car I test drove. The sales manager and the finance manager were awesome working to get me into the Honda of my dreams. read more

Went to frank leta to purchase a car- first off - the initial visit when purchasing this car took 4.5 hours to complete (in comparison I just bought a different car at a dealer and was in and out in 30 minutes). The business as a whole is very unorganized- they don't meet expectations they tell you they will up front. My car I bought from them ended up having a faulty power steering function and they wouldn't pay jeeep to replace the part- my only options - return the car or exchange for a similar (the only similar car on the lot had 20,000 more miles on it). Very disappointed on this - think the dealership who sold me the car should've replaced the part . But they will just go sell the faulty car to someone else. Eventually after 2 trips of Frank leta coming to get the car and not fixing the issue- we decided to return it.Then returned to the facility to finalize the nightmare and no one knew what the hell was going on - unorganized mess of a dealership. Would never buy a car or recommend buying a car here in the future read more

I came in looking for a Honda Accord. Frank Sturm did a great job finding me one with everything I wanted! He even managed to get it in my price range. I ended up getting a 2014 Honda Accord EXL V6 that I really enjoy driving. read more

Extremely rude service. Do not recommend. Tried to rush us through paperwork while we were asking valid questions and trying to make a thoughtful investment. Take business elsewhere. read more

Good experience. Low stress negotiation and price was fair, their prices online seem most competitive. Great facility. Chris Saxe was very helpful salesman, gave responsive service and dug deep to find the model I was very picky about! Finance guy didn't try to ram extended warranty in my face, which I appreciate. Worth the longer drive. read more

Excellent experience purchasing my hybrid @ FrankLeta! Josh Adams was extremely enthusiastic, honest, and helpful throughout the entire process. Family members are devoted Honda drivers and after my VIP treatment with everyone @ FL, learned many of them have had the same experience and continue to do business with them as I will. If your looking to get into a new Honda, definitely check out FL Honda in O'Fallon! read more

We have now worked with Tracy on our last two Honda purchases. She has been a real pleasure to work with, taking the time to understand our needs and providing excellent service throughout the car buying process. We have been very happy with Frank Leta Honda with both the last car purchases and will continue to use their services in the future. Would highly recommend both Frank Leta Honda and Tracy!! -- Matt K. read more

Randy Borth did an amazing job showing me the Honda CRV EX version. I left the dealership with exactly what I wanted as a first time new car owner. He was VERY knowledgeable of every feature available on the SUV. I LOVE IT! read more

We have been taking our cars here for years because of the great customer service and free goodies in the waiting area. Have always had good luck with the service department and was surprised that after shopping around the prices were not much higher the your local mechanics. That being said we decided to buy 2 cars here in the last year. Both times were great experiences and using all the tools available on the WWW I was able to get a good price on both and they gave me a great deal on my trade in. Chris Saxe was a lot of fun to deal with and made the experience a nice one. Make sure to look him up! read more

My salesperson, Josh Adams, was terrific. He made me feel very comfortable and made the normal car-buying ordeal a pleasure. Thanks, Josh!

There was nobody at the dealer getting their vehicles serviced it took them 3 hours to change the oil in my accord. Be wary the place is a time vampire. read more

I just bought my Nissan.I love it.Chris from frank leta helped a lot.He is very nice.Gave a good deal

Great place and experience. Jason Hawkins was very friendly and helpful in making me take the right choice. Thanks!

My experience at frank leta was very good. The sales representative was very helpful in explaining and guiding me through the purchase.

We went back to Frank Leta to purchase a second vehicle because our first experience was so good! We worked with Jason Hawkins, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. The entire staff was friendly and helpful, and made sure we were taken care of during the entire process. read more

Terrible customer service. This dealership just wants to take as much money as they can from you. A job that only should take an hour(considering they are experienced professionals) allegedly took 4 hrs. If my car wasn't in need of service that day I came in, I would have never dropped my car off to them. Avoid them at all costs! read more

I bought a pre-owned car 2 and a half months ago, when i looked at the engine i noticed corrosion on the battery. I asked them to check and change the battery. They said the battery was fine and that they got rid of the corrosion. Now 2 months later my battery is shot and the alternator is bad. So now they say i owe 837 dollars for an alternator and a new battery . When they said they checked it. And they wont make it right. when talking to the car salesmen who sold us the vehicle he tried nothing to make right the error. And he didn't care about a customer who was having problems. He just wanted the sale. All he said was sorry we wont help. read more

I'd like to commend Steve Lau on the wonderful candidate experience he provided to me when buying my first used car! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience as painless & quick as possible. I will definitely be a return customer in the future. Thanks again! read more

I went to Ofallon MO location to test drive a vehicle. I got pre-approved online the night before and had a test drive scheduled for the truck I wanted. They told me I couldn't test drive it and it wasn't available because it had not been maintenanced yet. Why run my credit for the truck? Why have me drive 45 minutes to blow me off? We left with them ignoring us pretending like they were going to help. Bought a better truck from a different location. I wouldn't return here again. read more

I have never dealt with a more unprofessional sales manager, Daniel. I called about 5 times within a week's span trying to buy a CRV EX AWD. Since it was a holiday weekend, I was not in town and was willing to sign documents via internet or overnight mail. I was connected with Daniel to make this happen but he continuously pushed me off to the next day. On Saturday, August 31st he told me to fill out the financing application and he would call me on Monday due to the amount of people in the store. At that point, they had multiple CRV EXs on the lot that would have fit what I wanted. I told him that was fine and was looking forward to closing the deal on Monday. He never called me on Monday even after I called, asked to speak with him, and left a message for him to call me. I waited on Tuesday till 2:30pm for him to call me and when he didn't, I called him. He then told me that 1) he didn't have any EXs to sell me, 2) he couldn't send me the paperwork in the discount period (and why I tried to talk with him earlier, knowing this would be a problem). After asking him why he pushed me off since the deal wouldn't be possible, he had no answers and HUNG UP ON ME. This is the worst service, I have ever had. All I can chalk this up to is either poor service or not being taken seriously due to my age. I will be writing a review so all future customers will be able to understand my experience before coming into the dealership. I wouldn't want anyone to be treated the same way I was especially by a General Manager. read more

This is the first time I bought a car (a certified CIvic) from a dealer and I couldn't be happier. Bill, Kevin and Marco (sales team), Joe (mechanic), Colby (porter (I think I might be messing up his name-sorry!)) and even Matt* (finance) are the best. Here's what I liked about Frank Leta Honda: -Professional -Knowledgable (Bill has worked on the mechanic side) -Willing to go the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable with my purchase (Joe put the car up on the lift so I could check out the brakes) -Fair deal on my trade-in -Worked with me on the price without the usual good/cop bad cop games -Hooked up my Bluetooth and showed me the navigation system -Detailed my new car really well and helped me move my things over -Free car washes (with vacuuming)! -Treated me like the serious car buyer I am This last point is very important. I made the rounds of the Honda dealers in the area and this team was the ONLY one that really respected me as a woman car buyer. I had a salesman at another dealer ask my age and call me a "smart girl." Needless to say, I walked out of there as fast as possible. I only spend my hard-earned money at places I respect (whether they are big box stores or car dealerships). I would gladly buy another car from Frank Leta Honda, and I'm even looking forward to coming in for oil changes and car washes. Don't let the drive out deter you. This is the ONLY place I would buy a car in St. Louis. *Matt is great; he knows why I said "even Matt." Oh, and Nate was fun to talk with as well. Thanks all! read more
