Right here on Vancouver Island, Nanaimo Honda has grown up alongside the neighbours we serve, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We are a single-rooftop, family-owned and -operated Honda dealership in Nanaimo that's been around since 1974, and every conversation on our lot begins with the people in our community rather than a monthly volume target.
More than five decades of family ownership in one place creates a level of local accountability that larger auto groups simply cannot match. Our team lives by a straightforward motto -- Trusted, Proven, Professional -- and that shows up in everything from our recently renovated 2023 facility that was purpose-built to serve you to the way we walk each customer through their options without pressure.
Why Choose Nanaimo Honda on Vancouver Island
Buying close to home means your dollars stay in the community and your dealership is genuinely invested in seeing you happy long after the sale. Shopping locally with a neighbour you can find again is a very different experience than working with a big-box operation. Here are a few of the reasons drivers keep choosing our team.
- Family owned since 1974: One family has operated this single rooftop for over fifty years, which means full local accountability on every promise we make.
- Upfront market pricing: Our new Honda models and pre-owned vehicles come with transparent pricing, plus CARFAX and reconditioning reports so you always know what you are getting.
- Certified and approved pre-owned options: Explore our used cars for sale in Nanaimo, including Honda Certified Pre-Owned models that come with a 7-year/160,000-kilometre powertrain warranty and Honda Approved Pre-Owned vehicles with a 6-month/12,000-kilometer warranty.
- Dedicated finance expertise: Four full-service Honda finance managers are on staff to make the paperwork simple, and we proudly offer the lowest documentation fee in Nanaimo.
- Purpose-built 2023 facility: Our nearby Honda service centre was designed around the customer, featuring Vancouver Island's largest detail centre and the same care that defines our sales floor.
- Convenience built in: Three on-site EV chargers in both Level 2 and Level 3, along with complimentary shuttle service, make ownership easier for island drivers.
What Nanaimo Neighbours Are Saying
Nothing tells our story better than the community members who have trusted us over the years. Here's a little of what our neighbours have shared.
Our Hometown Favourites in Nanaimo
Beyond the showroom, our team genuinely loves calling Nanaimo home, and we are always glad to swap recommendations for our favourite corners of the community when you stop in.
- Nanaimo Waterfront Walkway: Our team loves a stroll along the harbourfront walkway, a local favourite for catching the sea breeze and watching the boats come and go.
- Nanaimo's Parks & Trails: The green spaces around town are a staff favourite for weekend outings, and we're happy to point island newcomers toward the best spots.
- Neck Point Park: Located along Hammond Bay, this is our top staff recommendation for catching scenic Salish Sea sunsets, exploring tide pools, and spotting local marine life like sea lions and transient orcas.
- Saysutshun (Newcastle Island): Catch the quick foot ferry right from downtown's Maffeo Sutton Park to explore this car-free island provincial park, packed with tranquil beaches, historic sites, and scenic walking trails.
- Westwood Lake Park: Nestled at the base of Mount Benson, this well-loved local spot is our go-to for a summer swim, launching a stand-up paddleboard, or taking a relaxed walk around the 5.5 km lake loop.
