Which Honda dealer is best for Dutch Island buyers?
Hilton Head Honda is the pick for a Dutch Island buyer who wants a Honda store with a 4.8 Google rating across 2,799 reviews, the full Honda lineup and Certified Pre-Owned cars, and a sales team buyers describe as no-pressure.
Two Savannah stores, Southern Motors Honda and Grainger Honda, are the other Honda dealers a Dutch Island buyer weighs. Each is measured on the same points: rating, selection, service, drive time and the sales experience.

Is Hilton Head Honda worth the drive from Dutch Island?
Yes. Hilton Head Honda has the highest Google rating of the four Honda stores in this group, at 4.8, and it is about 21 miles from Dutch Island. The table gives each store’s Google rating and review count side by side.
| Dealer | Google rating | Google reviews |
|---|---|---|
| Hilton Head Honda | 4.8 | 2,799 |
| Stokes Honda Cars of Beaufort | 4.6 | 1,067 |
| Grainger Honda | 4.6 | 5,151 |
| Southern Motors Honda | 4.7 | 3,772 |
A Dutch Island buyer who wants a Honda with the full lineup and a no-pressure sales team can get both at one store in Bluffton.
What matters when choosing a Honda dealer near Dutch Island?
A buyer weighs five things: Google rating and review volume, the selection including Certified Pre-Owned, the service department, how long the drive is, and how the sales team treats buyers. Hilton Head Honda is strong on rating, selection, service and sales, and each one is backed by its own record.
We sell new Honda: the Civic and HR-V, the CR-V, Passport, Pilot and Odyssey, the Accord, Prelude and Ridgeline, and the all-electric Prologue. Hybrid versions of the Accord, Civic and CR-V are also in the lineup.
We also sell Honda Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. Each one gets a 150-point inspection and a 1-year unlimited-mileage warranty.
How long is the drive from Dutch Island to each Honda dealer?
Hilton Head Honda is about 21 miles from Dutch Island. The two Savannah Honda stores are closer, about 5.7 and 8.8 miles away.
A route planner puts the drive from Dutch Island to Hilton Head Island, SC at 49 miles and about 1 hour 30 minutes (routeplanner.app, 2026). That route ends on Hilton Head Island, while our store is on Fording Island Road in Bluffton, so the 21-mile figure is the one to use for our store.
The comparison therefore comes down to rating, selection and service rather than a few minutes of driving.
Google ratings of the Honda dealers a Dutch Island buyer can reach
Hilton Head Honda holds the highest Google rating of the four Honda dealers in this group, at 4.8. Southern Motors Honda rates 4.7 and Grainger Honda rates 4.6, both on Google in 2026.
Rating alone does not decide the purchase. Selection, service and the sales experience come next, because a buyer who gets a high rating and a poor service visit has still made a poor choice.
What is each Honda dealer near Dutch Island known for?
Southern Motors Honda leads with awards, and Grainger Honda leads with selection. Hilton Head Honda is known for the full Honda lineup and Certified Pre-Owned cars in one store.
Southern Motors Honda says: “We’re an award-winning dealership and are proud of our accolades, including the Honda All-Time Sales Record award three years in a row, Best of Savannah award five years in a row, Top Shop award, and Fixed First Visit award.”
Grainger Honda says it typically stocks more than 250 new Honda models on its lot and in its showroom, and that its lot holds nearly 400 vehicles, including pre-owned cars from other automakers (Grainger Honda).
Our site describes our technicians as certified Honda technicians trained in Honda engineering. We sell the Honda lineup from the Civic to the Ridgeline in one showroom, which is the reason to compare us on selection.
Do buyers feel pressured at Hilton Head Honda?
Buyers describe the sales team as no-pressure. In an August 2026 Google review, Donna A. wrote:
“I can tell you that I purchased a car from Cris Smith. He is not just an honest salesman but a special person with a big heart! He is like family too me now. No pressure straight up guy. Hes your salesman if you ever purchase a car there. I give him a 10 star rating. Thank you Cris”
That is one customer’s account of one visit, and it describes a no-pressure sale.
Does Hilton Head Honda keep service customers updated on repairs?
Service customers describe updates during the visit, and one August 2026 review gives the detail. In an August 2026 Google review, Gordon D. wrote:
“Hilton Head Honda service representative was timely, professional and responsive. She explained all identified areas where service was recommended and kept me apprised when work was completed.”

What share of Hilton Head Honda’s Google reviews are five stars?

What should you ask any Honda dealer before you sign?
Ask for an out-the-door price of the car in writing before you visit the lot and before you talk financing. Ask whether the terms are final and fully approved before you sign, because the deal is not final while the dealer is still working on approval (the FTC’s consumer advice on financing or leasing a car).
