Pick the Honda model and trim before you ask for quotes
Quotes only compare when each dealer names the same model and trim. Honda’s published 2026 figures give a starting price for every trim, so each quote starts from the same base before fees. Choose the trim first, then ask every dealer for that exact trim in writing.
Honda’s published 2026 starting prices for four models:
| Model and trim | Honda starting MSRP, 2026 (USD) |
|---|---|
| Civic Sedan LX | $24,695 |
| CR-V LX (2WD) | $30,920 |
| HR-V LX (FWD) | $26,500 |
| Pilot Sport (2WD) | $42,395 |
A Civic Sedan LX starts at $24,695, and a Civic Sedan Sport Hybrid starts at $29,395. A quote for one cannot stand in for the other.
According to Honda’s published 2026 specifications, the Civic, CR-V, HR-V and Pilot share the same warranty terms: 3 years or 36,000 miles basic, 5 years or 60,000 miles powertrain, and 5 years with no mileage limit for corrosion. Ask each dealer to confirm that coverage on the trim you chose.
We sell new Accord and Accord Hybrid, Civic Sedan, Civic Hatchback, Civic Type R, Civic Sedan Hybrid and Civic Hybrid Hatchback, CR-V and CR-V Hybrid, HR-V, Passport, Pilot, Prelude, Prologue, Odyssey and Ridgeline.
What should you weigh about the drive from Tybee Island to a Honda dealer?
Plan the visit around our hours before you plan the drive. Our service department is open Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It is closed Sunday, so a Sunday trip will not work.
Service can be scheduled online through our website, so you can pick a time before you leave Tybee Island. Choose a window inside the weekday or Saturday hours that gets you back to your car on the same day you drop it off.
Our store is at 161 Fording Island Rd, Bluffton, SC 29909, across the state line from Savannah.
What can you do online before you visit a Honda dealer?
Run the numbers on the model you want before you drive over. Our payment calculator accepts a trade-in offer amount, so you can see the payment with your trade-in counted.
Used cars are part of the search too. We carry used cars from other makes as well as Honda, so a used car from another make is worth comparing alongside a new Honda.
Bring those numbers to the written quote, so the trade-in figure and the out-the-door price sit side by side.
What belongs in a Honda out-the-door price quote?
Ask for a written price that includes every fee, with no add-ons or protection packages you did not choose. Get it for the exact same model and trim from at least two dealers, and compare final figures, not advertised ones.
Georgia’s title ad valorem tax, or TAVT, is a one-time tax paid when a vehicle is titled, and it is paid again each time ownership transfers. Its current rate is 7.0% of the vehicle’s fair market value. It replaced sales tax and the annual ad valorem tax on vehicles bought on or after March 1, 2013 (Georgia Department of Revenue, 2026).
Ask for the TAVT, at 7.0% of the vehicle’s fair market value, as its own line on the written quote.
If you finance or lease, we offer leasing and financing through our finance center. Ask for those figures on the same written quote as the vehicle price.
How do you read a Honda dealer’s Google reviews?
A review records one customer’s visit, so treat each one as a single account rather than a promise for every visit. Our 4.8-star record across 2,799 reviews is the broad picture, and one account shows what a single visit looked like.
In an October 2026 5-star Google review, Pam P. wrote: “I purchased a ‘26 Passport TSE two months ago today with the help of Jerome Castle in the Sales Dept. He was very nice to work with. No pressure, communicative and he helped make the process smooth and efficient. He knew the purpose of the car was to safely transport my dogs on new adventures with their crates. He took the time needed to make sure everything fit as planned. I now have almost 4000 mi on the car and it has been terrific to drive and met all expectations. Highly recommend Jerome and this dealership from my experience. Pictures of our recent trip to the beach in DE.”
Pam describes a no-pressure purchase and a salesperson who checked that the car fit her dogs’ crates. That is one buyer’s account of one purchase.
How do you check a Honda dealer’s service department?
Check the service department against the visit you will make: the appointment window, the technician who works on your car, and what you hear during the visit. Confirm that the window you need falls inside our weekday or Saturday service hours.
In an August 2026 5-star Google review, John M. wrote: “This was my first experience at Hilton Head Honda and it was excellent. My technician Abby was incredible. I got stuck in traffic and was going to be late. Abby adiusted my appointment when i called. She kept me updated on the progress of my service to include a video by the mechanic walking me through his inspection and highlighting problem areas which I never had at any other Honda. The waiting area was clean and offered coffee and snacks. Since I waited for the car this was welcomed. This will now be my go to Honda service center.”
John’s account covers a changed appointment, a video of the inspection and regular updates on the repair. Those are the points to raise with the service desk before you book.
