Ferman Mazda - Brandon

Waste of time Wasn't too impressed. Started off with one dealer who greeted me on the lot - seemed very new, and very intimidated. She ended up leaving after the fi Wasn't too impressed. Started off with one dealer who greeted me on the lot - seemed very new, and very intimidated. She ended up leaving after the first test drive because she wasn't feeling well and another dealer took over. Advised which vehicles I was interested in and would like to test driver and was asked "why?" I thought this was odd, and was steered away from test driving one of the cars I was interested in by the dealer. Once I narrowed down to the car I was happy with things seemed to take forever. The dealer left several times (4+) to discuss the car with someone (Her boss?). These conversations took 30 minuets plus about each time she went into his office. Her boss sat in the corner in his little glass cube, never came out to greet me or discuss any vehicle with me himself. I wasn't happy with pricing options and was looking to negotiate something that would work for myself and the dealership. They didn't seem to want to keep my business ... More

Avoid it in any cost They want to reap you and if they are not as successful they hates to see you there. I was actually a fan of Mazda 6. The dealer was close to my house They want to reap you and if they are not as successful they hates to see you there. I was actually a fan of Mazda 6. The dealer was close to my house so I wouldn't want to go elsewhere just because I was there a year before and they offered me this unbeatable interest rate of something around 17%. I went again a year later and the same interest rate, I was even shamed their being told I have nothing on my credit and all those crap of that faulty system. Fine!! I got a loan from somewhere else, it was very expensive (2.24%), had I done the direct deposit it would be even expensive (1.74%). Well I went back again because I was interested in Mazda 6 not in them. I told them I am buying it for full cash, I could see the manager was shocked, furious, annoyed, jealous....( you can use all those adjectives here). Salesman wasn't bad though. We were close to the deal since I wanted the car really bad and they had the bargain power but the manager refused to give floor mat and tinting or any of those on the price which was way higher than the price that we were agreed for at the time of finance application there. Thanks to Hyundai that saved me 3k with a better car with Tech and Ultimate package with better warranties. And the impressive thing is tinting was never a part of negotiation. Any vehicle rolls out their door is tinted:). But again I am thankful to Mazda dealer for opening my eyes to better options. More

2015 Mazda 6, July 5th I have been looking to purchase a Mazda 6 for a few months now and went to four different Mazda dealerships in the bay area. Only two of the four deal I have been looking to purchase a Mazda 6 for a few months now and went to four different Mazda dealerships in the bay area. Only two of the four dealerships struck me as honest people and Ferman Mazda was one of them. In the end my final decision came down to who was offering the lower price and that was Ferman Mazda. One of the other two dealer ships was advertising lower prices and when I actually visited them the story changed. At Ferman I was greeted by Eric Dabrowski, and I have only good things to say about the guy. He was straight forward and explained the whole process very thoroughly. The financial guy was Mark Wilson, another great person. I never felt pressured and I have to say my overall experience was excellent. More

Great experience buying a CX5 Absolutely loved my experience! Chris listened that I only wanted to see the CX-5 and why. He wasn't pushy and simply showed me the options. It took 2 Absolutely loved my experience! Chris listened that I only wanted to see the CX-5 and why. He wasn't pushy and simply showed me the options. It took 2 months for me to come in to buy. Chris checked in with me a few times by phone and was not pushy. It was a relief because other dealers I visited were constantly leaving me messages trying to sell me vehicles I'd already said no to. When I went in, it was straightforward. Chris had remembered my visit and what I was looking at. He and another employee were great about listening to my pricing concerns and hope of leaving with a new car. And they made it happen! Love my CX-5 and I definitely recommend stopping in and asking for Chris. More

Pleasure of buyng a car We visited Ferman Mazda several times until we finally purchased a vehicle and every time we stopped by we received a nothing but a respect, patience We visited Ferman Mazda several times until we finally purchased a vehicle and every time we stopped by we received a nothing but a respect, patience and an extra mile from Eric and other staff. They were honest and kept their word, not once we felt that someone is trying to pull a trick on us, and this is not a first time we are involved with buying a car. The whole time we received nothing but a straight and honest answers, nobody was being pushy, aggressive with sales or anything like that. I have to say that Eric was the best car salesman I have dealt so far at any dealership and he is the no.1 reason I purchased a vehicle from Ferman Mazda. More

Ferman Mazda refuses to honor service warranty I have a speaker that has rattled ,such that I can't understand the words of a song, since I picked the car up NEW. I brought it to Ferman to fix twi I have a speaker that has rattled ,such that I can't understand the words of a song, since I picked the car up NEW. I brought it to Ferman to fix twice. Each time they took my car and "worked on it all day", but never tried to remove the door panel to actually examine the speaker. Why? Because they can't hear the problem when I take it in. Apparently my word has no credibility. I must be lying or to stupid to know a rattle when I hear one. I've only owned 20+ cars in my life. Similarly I came in when my car failed to start after sitting for 10 days. AAA jumped it and field tested the battery. I brought in their report showing the battery is defective. It also now requires a lot of cranking and chugging before it starts. up. It is only 6 weeks old and has about 2500 miles on it. I have had several other things wrong that they couldn't replicate on demand so they see no reason to look any further. I am disgusted. It is my 4th Mazda and I will never buy another and will discourage all who will listen because your warranty is useless. Where is your own pride in your brand. Is it worth cheaping out on service only to lose return customers? I want them to pull the door panel and actually look at the speaker and see whats wrong (either the diaphragm is torn or loose or the speaker itself is improperly secured. More
