Family Values Drive the Car‑Buying Experience in Marion. IL

August 25th, 2025 by
Since 1976, Ike Honda has proudly served Southern Illinois as a family‑owned and operated dealership built on trust, loyalty, and community. Founded by Edward F. Eigenrauch—“Ike”—our dealership grew from early roots in Carbondale to a state‑of‑the‑art home in Marion just off I‑57, where we continue to carry on Ike’s legacy every day.

More Than a Dealership, We’re Family

At Ike Honda, treating our team like family isn’t a slogan—it’s our culture. Many of our employees have been here for decades, which means you can count on familiar faces and dependable guidance when you walk through our doors.

  • Roger Allen, General Sales Manager — serving customers for 21+ years.
  • Charles Clark, Business Manager — guiding buyers through finance for 25+ years.
  • Brian Clements, Honda Pro Product Specialist — sharing expertise since 1999.

That kind of loyalty is rare in automotive retail, and it shows up in the way our staff listens, explains, and supports you from first test drive to final handshake.

Rooted in Marion, Serving Our Neighbors

We live, work, and give back right here in Marion. You’ll see our team in the same grocery aisles, at local games, and around community events. That’s why every interaction at Ike Honda is more than a transaction, it’s a relationship with a neighbor.

Whether you’re shopping new or used, you’ll find a wide selection built for life in Southern Illinois, from efficient commuters to family‑ready SUVs and capable trucks:

A Car‑Buying Experience Built on Trust

We know buying a car can feel stressful. Our family‑first mindset changes that. Here’s what you can expect at Ike Honda:

  • No high‑pressure tactics—we focus on fit, value, and your peace of mind.
  • Clear guidance from friendly product specialists who take time to understand your needs.
  • Fair financing through national lenders and local banks to help match your budget.
  • Support after the sale with a full‑service department, comfortable lounge, and convenient courtesy shuttle.

Keeping you confident and informed is how we’ve earned the trust of generations of Southern Illinois drivers.

Service That Feels Like Coming Home

Our commitment continues long after you drive off the lot. The certified technicians in our service center handle everything from oil changes and brake inspections to tires and battery checks. Enjoy complimentary coffee, snacks, and TV while you wait—or take our courtesy shuttle and we’ll pick you up when your vehicle’s ready.

Carrying on Ike’s Legacy

From our founder’s first day in 1976 to our modern showroom in Marion, one principle has guided us: take care of people the right way. Many families have bought multiple vehicles from us across decades—and we’re honored when customers send their kids and grandkids back to Ike Honda. That kind of trust is earned through consistency, honesty, and care.
