My Review of MileOne Heritage Mazda of Bel Air:
I initially contacted James at MileOne Mazda in Bel Air with an interest in a new Mazdaspeed3, being referred over from the Mazda dealership in Owings Mills (they are not a Mazdaspeed dealer.) James was quick to reply and get me some info via e-mail after we spoke on the phone. I did not have a chance to come and drive the car immediately, and James let me know that he or Wil would be glad to bring it to me (I live in the Downtown area, 35 minutes or so away.) Regardless, I had my eye on another vehicle. When that fell through, I returned my focus to my original desire in a car -- Speed3. I contact James and Wil in the evening at the end of the month, and quarter, asking them tons of questions and wanting a lot of info. They took a good deal of time at this busy period and talked with me, as did their used vehicle manager (John, I believe) about my trade in.
I ended up arriving at the dealership a few minutes after close on the 31st, last week, and we immediately began to value my trade. After we established a more than adequate value there, James and Wil negotiated very fairly with me to get to the price I wanted. They both stayed until after Midnight with me to get the paperwork done, as did their finance manager.
It was late, so I headed out with a semi-cleaned car that needed a few of the accessories that the vehicle came with. Wil and James were vigilant and patient in their dealings with me after they had sold me the car. After a week they had gotten everything together and I came back, got the rest of what they had promised me, and even got a quick detail on the car and a tank of gas for free.
In the last few weeks I have been to more than a couple of dealerships, and while other sales people were alright (although very persistent) the folks at MileOne Mazda were great to deal with and extremely nice. As a professional salesperson myself, I was very pleased to find such courtesy and helpful people in an industry known for pushiness. I highly recommend going to see either James or Wil should you be interested in a Mazda. I am far closer to many other Mazda dealers, but I will almost certainly be driving out there for all my service and needs in the future with this car. Excellent job guys, keep up the awesome work!
