Purchase of 2016 Mazda 3 Sport I purchased a 2016 Mazda 3 Sport Hatchback at Ed Howard Mazda in Sarasota. It was the best car buying experience I have ever had. The Sales Manager Pe I purchased a 2016 Mazda 3 Sport Hatchback at Ed Howard Mazda in Sarasota. It was the best car buying experience I have ever had. The Sales Manager Pete gave me quotes on three different Mazda 3's which were lower then the price I had been quoted from other dealers. He also got me a lower interest rate then what my bank quoted me. Our salesman Brian was excellent. He made this experience so pleasant. They were friendly and efficient and it took only about an hour and a 1/2 - 2 hours to check out vehicle, fill out and sign paperwork. In all my years of car shopping for vehicles this was the easiest with no hassle. I would recommend this dealership to anyone who is looking to purchase a Mazda. Everyone at the dealership was pleasant and very helpful. The financial guy was great and we were done signing papers in a 1/2 hour. More

Best car buying experience I have had in years!! My GREAT experience started with Steve Wilkenson and included Peter Colberg and Bruce Kennedy. Steve was VERY attentive and there was no drama that i My GREAT experience started with Steve Wilkenson and included Peter Colberg and Bruce Kennedy. Steve was VERY attentive and there was no drama that is usually involved in buying a car. I drove a Mazda 3 at "the other dealership" in town several months ago and while I loved the product/Mazda 3 that dealership was NOTHING like Ed Howard Mazda and their exceptional staff. If you want a a pleasurable car buying experience with no hassles and want to be treated like a friend visit this dealership. I will definitely be taking my car back the Ed Howard for all my service in the future. They are WONDERFUL!! Thanks to all of you....especially Steve :) More

Wow -- efficient and easy, just as I'd asked it to be I knew the exact model and trim of the car I wanted (2016 Miata GT). Salesperson Brian Helfrich and I were in contact via email and text, and Bria I knew the exact model and trim of the car I wanted (2016 Miata GT). Salesperson Brian Helfrich and I were in contact via email and text, and Brian was on his game. I told him the exact exterior and interior colors I wanted and the exact options I wanted and the reasonable financial deal I needed on my end to make it happen. BAM! A couple of texts and emails later he had the exact car I wanted located and he had been able to get me in UNDER my proposed price! I drove down from St Pete to Sarasota, walked in, and was out the door in less than 30 minutes. The paperwork was ready and the car was ready, just as I asked (because I REALLY REALLY hate waiting). And because I've had four other Miatas I didn't want or need a big production to show me where the ignition was or how to open the trunk. (They can do that kind of personal service bc it's important when you get a different car, and they offered to assist me with any questions I had on this new model, including setting up my satellite radio etc... But I didn't need that service. I DID need to drop that top and get back home to work!) I cannot recall the name of the Finance Person, but he too was efficient. He didn't try to sell me extras or sweet talk me into anything I'd' already said I didn't want or need. He took me through the paperwork, answered the questions I had and got me all signed initialed and dated in a nice orderly quick fashion. I have bought several cars over the years at a number of dealerships in a number of states where I've lived... Sometimes financed, sometimes cash... And I have NEVER had such an efficient, straight-forward, no-hassle car purchasing experience. This is the first time I have ever ever ever felt like I was being treated like a PERSON (with a mind and a schedule and other things to do) and not as a "sales target" and the first time ever ever ever that a dealership which claims to be fair, hassle-free, and friendly actually was. WOW! So yes, I recommend this dealership and these two representatives of the dealership. Yes, I would return there for future auto purchases. More

Basica Went in for an oil change and tire rotation 6.1.2016. Set up appointment online. While finishing up with the write up today.... Lady walks in. Basically was told she was next. Later I found she was late for her appointment and yet she was able to "jump line". She did get her oil change done 1st. Asked write up guy and he admitted she was late. So.... Why bother with an appointment? If you are Late you are late! Not my fault! I had things to do that day. She should have been done after I was done. I WAS on TIME!!!!!! When you are late ..... Ur LATE! Sorry! Won't be back. There are other Mazda dealer around! More
