I chose the Mazda brand because of all it‘s advertised to be. I should have researched this dealership better. Be prepared for ALL the sales tactics that give car salesmen a bad name.

They give the appearance of treating you well, but they intend to do anything they can to take advantage of you in the sales process. While in the showroom the day I bought from them I overheard several conversations between salesmen about how they‘d “stuck it to” other customers. Overall bad behavior from sales. As I described my accessibility need to the salesmen I was working with, other sales people laughed. Humilitating!! I chose Mazda because of the brand‘s disability assistance program. Our experience: - they use a handwritten offer sheet, listing “optional items” meant to distract you from focusing on the real numbers. The handwritten sheet with crossed out numbers will be a challenge if have learning disorders (dyslexia, or dyscalculia). - though they advertise that they honor Carmax estimates on trade-ins, their initial trade-in offer was significantly lower than Carmax. When they were presented with the written Carmax offer, they just changed the numbers elsewhere on the offer sheet to get the price they wanted. - I was sold a car about 90 days ago that was supposed to be capable of a simple adaptive change to accommodate my disability. After several appointments to make the change, Safford Brown is now telling me that my only option is to pay over $12,000 to purchase another model!! - this dealership did not honor the advertised veterans appreciation discount Beware! If you’re elderly, disabled, or just want to deal with honest people, don’t buy here. The showroom looks nice. They’ll appear friendly and pleasant, giving you all the gourmet coffee you want. Their sales practices are deliberate, dishonest, and deceitful. More
I booked my appointment at 9:00 am, when I showed up at 8:50 am I was told that I might wait an hour before they start my car i kindly said it’s ok. At exactly 11:18 am I came back to check they haven’t ev 8:50 am I was told that I might wait an hour before they start my car i kindly said it’s ok. At exactly 11:18 am I came back to check they haven’t even started my car EVEN HAVING AN APPOINTMENT they processed every car behind me with no reason. When I spoke to Natalie and asked for explanation she responded rudely that you will be next without apologizing and the employer in front of her and behind me started talking to me without saying hello and apologizing he said straight and rudely : “No she told you we are going to start your car when we are ready “ it is unacceptable to talk to customer like that. They weren’t even apologetic for waiting 2h 18 min without even touching the car!!! I was treated unfairly by these 2 employees and I will never come back. More
I purchased a certified pre-owned 2020 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring at this dealership. It was an excellent buying experience from start to finish. The sales associate I dealt with, Sam Velasco, was great to Touring at this dealership. It was an excellent buying experience from start to finish. The sales associate I dealt with, Sam Velasco, was great to work with; he was pleasant, knowledgeable, responsive and totally transparent in his dealings with me. I also want to mention that Peter Friedman, the head of pre-owned sales was top-notch in every respect. I've been buying cars for 50 years, and these folks made this the easiest, most pleasant car-buying experience I've had yet. More

Very clean and professional dealership. I called ahead to check on inventory - salesman had two cars prepared for me when I arrived. We negotiated a fair price and I was very happy with the experience. to check on inventory - salesman had two cars prepared for me when I arrived.

Matt and Carlos were amazing! My wife and I knew the Cx-5 was the perfect car for us and the way Matt handled the transaction was soo straightforward, simple and painless. Got a great price, Carlos came by was the perfect car for us and the way Matt handled the transaction was soo straightforward, simple and painless. Got a great price, Carlos came by with the car and paper work to our house and we could not be happier with the process. I suspect Carlos knows more about these cars than the guys (robots?) that built it! The home delivery is the new way to buy a car and I would'nt do it any other way, and I would not buy a car from anyone other then Carlos and Matt. We love it!! Thanks guys!!! More
