Friendly staff, but did feel a lot of pressure when they kept trying to get me to buy the extra warranties after I had already declined them and was just trying to pay for my brand new car. More

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our friendly staff! We are genuinely sorry to hear that you felt a sense of pressure regarding the extra warranties. That is certainly not the experience we intend for our customers during the final phase of their purchase, and we sincerely apologize for how that interaction felt to you. Our only intention in taking a moment to discuss the options was to make sure you had every piece of information and the opportunity to decide on the coverage you had shown initial interest in. We want to ensure that our customers never drive off wishing they had secured a protection plan they might later need. However, once you clearly declined, we were happy to process the contract right away. We value your business and hope that the positive experience with your new car will outweigh this uncomfortable moment. Congratulations again on your purchase!

I love Kennedy Mazda. There is never any pressure sales tactics, unlike other dealerships. I am currently on my 3rd Mazda since moving into the area. I love my New CX-90. More

Dear Ms. Kszastowski, Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience with us. While we are grateful for your honesty, we are deeply concerned and truly sorry for the unacceptable experience you had during your visit to our service center. Please accept our most sincere apology. As a loyal customer who has supported us for years, your satisfaction is paramount, and the treatment you received is completely contrary to our standards of service. We want to assure you that we are taking your feedback with the utmost seriousness. Addressing Your Concerns The behavior you described—being treated rudely, dismissively, and being berated for simply following the posted service instruction to honk—is unacceptable. Every member of our team is expected to treat our customers, especially long-time loyal patrons like yourself, with courtesy, professionalism, and respect. Furthermore, we are extremely alarmed by your report of a staff member vaping inside the garage. This is a direct violation of our company policy and health standards, and we apologize that you were subjected to secondhand vapor while trying to obtain service. This will be addressed immediately as a serious conduct issue. Our Immediate Action We are taking immediate and serious action based on your detailed account. This includes: Staff Review and Training: Initiating an immediate internal review and providing rigorous, mandatory retraining on customer interaction protocols, conflict resolution, and the importance of professionalism for all new and existing front-desk staff. Policy Enforcement: Taking decisive action regarding the violation of our workplace conduct policy concerning vaping on premises. Process Review: Reviewing the “honk for service” procedure and corresponding signage to ensure clarity and that staff members respond appropriately and professionally. We value your business and your loyalty, Ms. Kszastowski, and we want to regain your trust. We would sincerely appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Please feel free to call me directly at (219) 462-3111 Ext 119 or reply to this email so we can personally discuss a satisfactory resolution. We hope you will allow us another chance to demonstrate the high quality of service you deserve. Sincerely, ANDREW THOMPSON General Manager Kennedy Mazda kennedymazda@gmail.com (219) 462-3111 Ext 119
