Do not use this dealership to purchase or service a vehicle. I purchased a brand new cx90 from them and was told they would only negotiate, if I left a 10 on their Mazda new car survey. So the first More

Hi Heather, Thank you for sharing your concerns. We take accusations regarding our business practices seriously and would like to clarify a few points regarding your experience. First, the CX-30 referenced in your recent service visit was not purchased from Jack Giambalvo Mazda. While we are happy to perform warranty-related diagnostics on Mazda vehicles regardless of where they were purchased, warranty coverage is ultimately determined by Mazda's guidelines and the cause of the concern. During the diagnostic process, our technicians found contamination and debris in the fuel sample taken from the vehicle. Unfortunately, we do not have a video showing the fuel being removed from the tank and poured through the filter. The video provided was intended to document the condition of the fuel sample and the foreign material that was discovered. Fuel contamination is not considered a manufacturing defect and therefore is not covered under Mazda's factory warranty. Because we have no way of knowing where or when the fuel contamination occurred, we are also unable to determine its source. We do apologize for the confusion regarding the complimentary car wash. If the repair order indicated that the vehicle was washed when that service was not completed, that should have been communicated accurately. We understand that you disagree with the findings and are disappointed with the outcome. However, our recommendations and warranty determination were based on the condition found during the diagnostic process and Mazda's warranty guidelines, not where the vehicle was purchased. Our service manager, Dan, will be reaching out to you to discuss this further. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.

Thank you for the detailed response and the verbal contact; however, a greater concern is that if indeed the contamination is in my vehicle, as described, then it is unclear why your recommendation was to simply drive the car and continue to run the contamination through the vehicle, as this would potentially cause even greater issues with the car’s functioning. This seems like a very concerning recommendation for the longer term functionality for the vehicle, but yet that was your dealership’s recommendation. Additionally, we have driven the car now for about 50 miles and have had no further issues, in spite of the contamination that your dealership claims was in our gas tank, and per your dealership’s admission, has not been removed. So, the additional question remains as to why the vehicle is now functioning normally, since the rearrangement of mechanical coils by your dealership, in spite of the contamination still being in the tank? I appreciate your attention, but am not finding a great deal of logic in your conclusions regarding gas contamination in my tank with your simultaneous recommendations to leave it there, if indeed my gas tank has particle contamination. Either your dealership is not being honest about the contamination, or the recommendation to leave that contamination present in the tank, is one that places the car at risk for further future mechanical issues.

Thank you for sharing your additional concerns. We understand why the recommendation was frustrating. Removing the fuel and dropping the tank would have been a customer-pay repair in this situation, as it was not covered by Mazda or the dealership. Our recommendation to continue driving the vehicle was based on its operating condition at the time and the steps our team had already taken. We regret that this was not communicated clearly and that you felt the situation was not fully addressed. We appreciate your feedback and will use it as an opportunity to improve how we explain repair recommendations and related costs.

Services not rendered, paid $1,800 for extended warranty that never I used. Then you can't get no refund back on it when you sell your car. More

Don't like using names, they know who they are. They should not be using that kind of warranty if they can't stand by it.

Regarding your Zurich extended warranty, refund amounts are determined by Zurich using a standard prorated calculation based on time and mileage remaining. This is how these refunds are handled and is not something our dealership determines. We understand this was a frustrating situation, and our team did its best to explain how the refund process works and answer your questions.
