Bubba Stockton (!) at Jerry Damson Honda of Florence, AL gave me a straight-forward quote over email. And Tom Bendetta of Jerry Damson Honda of Huntsville, AL worked with us for nearly a week. He gave us the information we needed, worked hard to get us the cars we wanted to test-drive, and was helpful without being pushy. When I went to him with Bubba&#8217;s below-invoice quote, he matched it, and removed the fees I wanted removed. If you&#8217;re looking for a Honda in the Huntsville area, I&#8217;d recommend working with Tom.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been toying with the idea of getting an Alabama specialty plate to support a cause such as saving the Saturn V that&#8217;s been decaying in the hot summers for years.
