My salesperson Br Recently I purchased a Mazda CX5 from Ed Howard Mazda and can state without hesitation that the experience was completely positive. My salesperson Brian Helfrich made the process as easy as possible in a minimal amount of time from the time I walked into the dealership to purchasing the vehicle. Straight up pricing with no haggling. Nice job Brian !! More

Professional, Considerated, Fair, Caring.. My 22 year old daughter did all her own "homework" on the vehicle she wanted. She decided which year, make & model and shopped around. She came acro My 22 year old daughter did all her own "homework" on the vehicle she wanted. She decided which year, make & model and shopped around. She came across Ed Howard Mazda and contacted them. They treated her on such a professional level, kind, caring, extended themselves beyond. As parents, we felt they treated her extremely fairly and gave her a fantastic deal on her very first new vehicle. We didn't feel we had to watch out for her purchase with this dealership. They were honest and gave her the best deal they could give her. I would totally recommend them to any family looking for a new vehicle. Thank You. More

On the fence tho! 2.5 Stars Our sales person Steve Wilkinson did a good job explaining the M3. However when it came to pricing our trade and then the pricing of the new vehicle.. Our sales person Steve Wilkinson did a good job explaining the M3. However when it came to pricing our trade and then the pricing of the new vehicle..........different story! Steve Wilkinson had to go between us and sales manager/ finance guy. Every offer was closely scrutinized as it should be.But, It was as if Sales Manager/finance guy did not trust Steve . Back and forth several times. This was our very first Mazda and we needed to be sure we were getting the biggest bang for the buck. We traded a 2014 Focus . Eventually got a pretty good dollar for it. New M3 involved haggling between us and Sales Manager/finance guy. It was if they didn't believe we were serious. We bought on our 3rd visit. What we wanted they did not have but eventually traded with another dealer and got the model with items we wanted. The Service deal (oil change) was to "over-pay" for the first oil change and then get a $20 off coupon! Still don't understand that! Other dealer offered/provides 1st oil change free with no extra $20 charge.... ever. Straight up pricing! More

Mazda Cx-9 Purchase Just purchased a new Mazda Cx-9 from Ed Howard Mazda in Sarasoda Fl. I have to say this was by far the best car buying experience I have had. I went t Just purchased a new Mazda Cx-9 from Ed Howard Mazda in Sarasoda Fl. I have to say this was by far the best car buying experience I have had. I went to a Mazda dealer in St.Pete and was pressured the entire time I was there. Left there and went to Ed Howard. I first met Steve Wilkinson and was immediately impressed by the knowledge of the Mazda vehicles. Steve actually listened to what my wife and I wanted and let us take our time to view and drive the vehicle we wanted. We left the store and we told Steve we would be back to make a decision. Steve followed up with a phone call and we went back to the show room and purchased the Mazda. The transaction from Bruce and Steve was so smooth and my wife and I were very pleased. This was a great place to purchase a vehicle, great price, great people to work with. More

Steven Wilkinson is the best! We first visited Mazda with Steve in February but decided not to buy at that time. Last week I returned to take another look at the Mazda 3 and Brian We first visited Mazda with Steve in February but decided not to buy at that time. Last week I returned to take another look at the Mazda 3 and Brian Helfrich greeted me. It was Steve's day off. Brian took me around and let my grandson try the car to check its ZOOM power. When I returned on Monday with my husband, Steve Wilkinson was at the door, ready to close the deal. Both salesmen and business manager Bruce Kennedy were helpful and ready to comply with my interests, wishes and desires. I have a great car!! Thanks to all. More

Easy Breezy Transaction Like many people, I didn't start that day (2 days ago) to get a new car; it just sort of happened.

Both the sales person (Brian) as well as the business manager (Bruce) were EXTREMELY easy to work with and made getting a new car acquisition a pleasant experience (and everyone knows they're not all like that). Kudos to a good group who's so easy to work with! More

Mazda Mama! I just leased a Mazda3 at Ed Howard Mazda and now applied for a vanity license plate (MazdaMama) to show off my hip, new car (I'm 60+ and a grandma). I just leased a Mazda3 at Ed Howard Mazda and now applied for a vanity license plate (MazdaMama) to show off my hip, new car (I'm 60+ and a grandma). This was the first Mazda for me, having migrated from the Hyundai world, and I don't regret the switch one bit. Influencing my decision to buy this car was Steve Wilkinson, a down-to-earth, honest and trustworthy salesman with whom I put my trust to steer me in the right direction. No pressure, no rush to close the deal. My kind of salesman. Ultimately, I made the decision to get a Mazda based on all the amazing reviews on Edmunds.com, Car & Driver, U.S>. News and other news sources, especially because of their high safety rating. When you have grandkids in the back seat, you want to be SAFE. Thank you, Steve, for helping me choose the right vehicle for me. More

Happy with my purchase experience Traded in a four month old Honda Accord sedan for a CX5 and couldn't be happier. Brian, my salesperson, was helpful and knowledgeable. I had an exte Traded in a four month old Honda Accord sedan for a CX5 and couldn't be happier. Brian, my salesperson, was helpful and knowledgeable. I had an extended test drive in town and on the interstate. When they didn't have the exact car I wanted in stock, they found it nearby and delivered quickly. Brain and then manager met my price requirements without extensive haggling ($1300 below a nearby competitor's lowest price) which even included optional equipment without extra charges. The trade in value was higher than other dealers (Acura, BMW, Honda and Mazda) had offered. Although I was offered extended coverage options by the finance manager, there was no hard sell, Overall I was treated fairly and respectfully and am very happy that I purchased my car at Ed Howard Mazda..
