I first met Asif on Twitter. I had just walked away from one of the worst car shopping experiences I'd ever had (a Kia dealership) and *tweeted* it. Very soon after I received a tweet back from this "Asif Premji" guy. "Sorry to hear your car buying experience wasn't more positive - what are you looking for?" This was the first of many messages which has lead to not only the purchase (six months later) of a new Honda Civic Si for my wife but a professional and loyal relationship with Asif and his team. There is outstanding customer experience and then there is the unexpected and appreciated *Asif* level of customer experience. I would not hesitate to do or refer business with Asif and his team. By far one of the most enjoyable and confident car buying experiences in my lifetime. At Okotoks Honda I witnessed, "I actually give a $&@# about my customer", not just in words but in every day actions, long before I purchased a care and ever since. This is what I would call, Integrity in ACTION. It's not about the one off sale for them, Asif and his team truly understand the lifetime value of a single customer. If you're going to buy a Honda, it's well worth the trip to Okotoks and buy from anyone on Asif's team <<< Less

Asif and I first met in 2006. Asif's dealership was located 25 minutes from Calgary, but he convinced me to make the drive to see him telling me it would be worth it and I wouldn't regret it. Truth is, Asif was right. I had never encountered a business that felt so much like home. After… Read More
Asif and I first met in 2006. Asif's dealership was located 25 minutes from Calgary, but he convinced me to make the drive to see him telling me it would be worth it and I wouldn't regret it. Truth is, Asif was right. I had never encountered a business that felt so much like home. After just a couple of visits I was astounded at how friendly everyone was and how personable the service was. It was the best experience one could have imagined and the reason I have recommended Asif to so many people. The transition from that small dealership to one comparable with the 'big boys' in Calgary has been difficult. It is hard to take those fantastic leadership abilities Asif possesses and mentor your team to replicate them. Although these are challenging times, Asif and his team will rise to the challenge. Asif takes ownership very seriously and challenges any obstacle head on. If you have issues at his dealership, he is always there to support the customer and to right the wrong - fairly and with integrity. <<< Less

Asif Premji - the GM at Okotoks Honda is the guy you want to be friends with. A unique individual who believes in making a positive difference – everyday – in the lives of everyone he meets. Be it for personal or professional reasons. I have had the pleasure of serving him as an Internet Marketing Expert. While I continue to work with him, I have also leased a brand new 2014 Honda CRV from him. My experience with him and his entire staff has been a pleasure all the way through. If you are looking for a new or used vehicle, I highly recommend him. I am certain that he will take care of you as he would his own family. Thanks Asif. <<< Less

My family and I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Asif over the last 20+ years; first at High River Honda and then in the move, and change of name, to Okotoks Honda. Asif is an engaging, upbeat, dependable and trustworthy Manager who possesses an infectious energy and passion for everything he does. We have lived in many locations throughout Alberta and have always entrusted our business and service to Asif and his staff. At every turn in our lives, whether we needed a larger vehicle, another vehicle, a first car for our daughter or repairs to our existing vehicles we travelled the distance to deal with Asif. I can honestly say that it is my privilege to recommend Asif Premji as a reputable and caring businessman that listens to what his clients truly need. <<< Less

It was a pleasure to work with Asif this year. He is leading his team at Okotoks Honda and is one of the most passionate individuals that I have ever met in the car business - that passion is contagious. He believes that investing in his people and adopting modern and effective strategies and technology is the key to their dealership's long term and sustainable success. You can tell when an individual is truly committed - they are great listeners. Asif's leadership skills are a blessing and a huge asset that the dealership has inherited. Although the dealership is a relatively new addtion in the marketplace, I am confident that it will be one of the nation's top producers in th every near future. Asif's focus is not limited to the sale of a vehicle today but rather on winning the trust and confidence of their customers for repeat and referral business. Exceeding customer satisfaction drives his spirit with innovative and self-check systems he has developed. I would encourage any individual who wanted a career in the automobile industry to look up Asif and have a conversation with him; you will truly be inspired and quickly learn what I did. Best of luck in the future Asif! Cheers! <<< Less

What an amazing experience!! I am not a fan of dealerships typically because the saleseman say whatever they need to get the sale. This dealership was different. I saw the ad in kijiji, I dealt with a sales consultant and he was the most informative, thorough, sincere, caring, no pressure salesman I have ever experienced. I asked many questions, he would research and respond within minutes, maximum within hours. He was so accommodating, comprehensive and made buying a vehicle enjoyable for a change. I am not only happy , I am delighted!! I will only go back to this dealership to buy a vehicle in the future. Everything is how they promised and have nothing but the greatest things to say about this place. I also dealt with their Financial Services Department and their service ethic was exactly the same!! I spoke to Asif Premji, the GM and yes, he was the same. So it appears that the whole location has a philosophy to put the customer first and to make buying a car stressfree. I find Calgary lacks a bit in the service industry but this time, it surpassed my expectations. They even went and put in a full tank of gas an hour before pickup and came to my home to take the plate so that I don't have to bring it back, and I live outside of Calgary!! Unbelievable. I love the vehicle and everything is as promised. Noone else could compare pricewise (neither private, nor in the US) and service wise. <<< Less

I have found that Asifs' professionalism and knowledge in the automotive industry and social media a very rare and powerful combination. His business presence online is one of a kind and with his personal style he fully understands the importance of social media and its role in community development. Working with his online and offline communities, Asif has directly resulted positive experiences for customers and non-customer a like, as I have found him always ready to help. Personally, Asif has been very supportive of my own endeavors and has always been ready to assist me with any issues I have discussed with him. We have traded industry information and I have firsthand seen the kind of personal service Asif achieves. If you’re thinking of working with Asif I know you will receive the same treatment and find his knowledge with vehicles, Honda in particular, second to none. <<< Less
