This place is completely shady. I brought my car in for a 30,000 mile checkup (in fine working order) and they charged me $684!! I also did not have my tires rotated. Now, I understand that I should have as 30,000 mile checkup (in fine working order) and they charged me $684!! I also did not have my tires rotated. Now, I understand that I should have asked for the price up front but I had no idea it could possibly be this much for a car in perfect working condition. I called around to other local dealers and they are charging much less (between $140-$300 less!). When I called the service department to make it right, they refused and basically said they could charge whatever they want and that they had done a competitive analysis. This is a complete lie! I would highly recommend that you NOT take your car there. IN addition, the time prior, they put a huge hole in my drivers seat while performing a tire alignment. They did fix it but it was up to me to take the time to bring it back. Stay AWAY! More
My husband and I went to Liberty Mazda with the goal of buying a new car, since the term of my husband's lease was about to end. We had a pleasant experience with Carl, a salesman. He was friendly, patie buying a new car, since the term of my husband's lease was about to end. We had a pleasant experience with Carl, a salesman. He was friendly, patient, and courteous. However, what prevented us from buying a car at Liberty was the GM, Mike McGuire. I only met him for about 30 seconds, but he was rude, disrespectful, and arrogant. I thought it was because I was a woman, but upon reading other reviews on this website, it seems that he treats everyone this way. Unfortunately, he cost Carl a sale, because we bought the same car that we test-drove with Carl -- at another dealership. More
Went to purchase a vehicle with a family member. Mike in sales was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. He was not pushy and let us take our time to try and select a specific vehic sales was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. He was not pushy and let us take our time to try and select a specific vehicle. When we realized there wasn't the exact fit of a vehicle that day, Mike's boss, sales manager Mike became involved. He was rude, arrogant and out right disrespectful to myself and family. With other Mazda dealers so close to one another, it surprises me that one man, Sales Manager Mike could ruin a deal for the dealership. We felt bad for Mike in sales, because we did buy a Mazda at another dealership. Mike in sales is a super friendly nice guy and went out of his way to help us, but his sales manager unfortunatly cost him a sale. More
Spent weekend looking for and maneuvering hard for a new CX7 for my wife. Mike (sales) was friendly, knowledgeable and not pushy; an atypical sales associate. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for M CX7 for my wife. Mike (sales) was friendly, knowledgeable and not pushy; an atypical sales associate. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Mike (GM) who simply came off as an angry man. Because of this my wife did not want to do business with this dealer. I felt badly for Mike (sales) who spent a great deal of time with us only to come up with no sale. Based on other negative reviews and my experience, I'd hazard a guess that this dealership will not be around much longer. To begin, the entire car sales model is flawed and has been for a long time. However, couple an uncomfortable process with a very bad economy and an abrasive sales manager and you have a recipe for disaster--in this case a dealership with no customers. More
I would not recommend this dealer to my worst enemy! I have dealt with 128 Mazda at its old location and was not happy there either. Mario was a gem to work with in the service department but that was abo have dealt with 128 Mazda at its old location and was not happy there either. Mario was a gem to work with in the service department but that was about it. Since changing to Liberty Mazda, they looked like a new dynamic team in the mailers I got BUT when I visited the new dealership it was the same old sleazy crew with the same motives. You can put lipstick on a pig...... STAY FAR AWAY! More
Quite frankly, I left the service station angry, feeling cheated and disrespected - and all I went in for was my 15,000 mile check up. These guys bought the 128 Mazda dealership - who I really liked - from cheated and disrespected - and all I went in for was my 15,000 mile check up. These guys bought the 128 Mazda dealership - who I really liked - from whom I bought my Mazda 3 (great car, the by way). Based on my service experience, I would NEVER consider buying from Liberty. I am now getting my sales and service at Ira Mazda. ' More
I had to deal with 3 completely different sets of people while trying to get a Mazda3 with s-plan pricing. First time in Oct and they didn't have a car I wanted. I went back 4 months later and put a $50 while trying to get a Mazda3 with s-plan pricing. First time in Oct and they didn't have a car I wanted. I went back 4 months later and put a $500 deposit to order one from manufacturer in January because they couldn't get one for me. By this time, the original salesteam including the "internet sales manager" had already left 128. The new salesman confirmed that they'd order it from Mazda directly and the car will be shipped from Hiroshima. They quoted me 60 to 90 days for the car to arrive. 2 months later, no one from 128 had called to let me know of the status. I called my salesperson back and found out she was no longer with the company. After being put on hold and having to wait someone else to call me back, they said they couldn't fulfill my order. When I asked why, they said they messed up and thought it wasn't a custom order. So 2 months later, there was no car in sight. I was glad to get my deposit back and will not try to buy cars from 128 ever again. They should be happy I didn't ask for the interest on those $500! You will be much better off going with a more professional dealership without this high attrition rate. They didn't seem particularly interested in selling me a car, imagine that! More
My journey in finding a Mazda3H (5 door hatchback) in a manual transmission started in September 2006. I first got in touch with Brian Sullivan, the "Internet Sales Manager" through their website. He didn' manual transmission started in September 2006. I first got in touch with Brian Sullivan, the "Internet Sales Manager" through their website. He didn't have the car on hand, but told me to go in anyways. I went there 2 days later, met with a guy named "Cappy" because Brian "Sully" Sullivan was too busy to deal with me. He tried to sell me an automatic which I said I didn't want. Then he tried to sell me a black manual, which I didn't want. In the end, I decided to wait and see if more manual transmission would come in. "Cappy" called twice after that, haggled to try to sell me the black Mazda3. Considerable effort on his part, and I think he was just doing his job. Fast forward to January 2007, I went in to order a custom car because there was none matching my requirements on their lot. By that time, both "Sully" and "Cappy" were no longer with 128 Mazda. So I dealt with Mike Clark and Monica Pettersen. They told me they were doing things right after "Ford" guys left. After another test drive, I placed an order for a specific color and model. I also paid $500 deposit. They quoted me that the car should arrive in 60 to 90 days. I didn't hear from ANYONE in 2 months. Last week, I called Monica to see where my car was. Guess what, she was no longer with 128 Mazda. (This is prob the dealership with the highest attrition rate I ever heard of. ) I spoke with Mike Clark. He said he didn't know what was happening with my order. He returned my call 2 hours later to say "we couldn't get your car". I asked for a refund and he said sure. Next day, I called to ask about the refund. No one could help me and said they'd call back. Of course, they didn't. So at last, I had to go into the dealership to get y $500 deposit back. Jim Suprenant greeted me this time around. (4th person I'd had to work with since last fall) He said Monica dropped the ball, didn't play my order as a Custom order. Total lies considering Mike was also present at the time I put down deposit. He then quoted me it could take 120 days if I placed an order now. What happened to the 60 to 90 days? My overall feeling is this dealership is extremely disorganized. It was amazing that they didn't even try to keep my business. The high attrition rate among its sales team is a sign something is terribly wrong. Please go to another Mazda dealership in the Boston area if you are a serious buyer. More
Went in with engine light on. No appointments taken. All service done barber shop style, first-come first served. I was worried at first when he told me that my car was not likely still under warranty. I ca service done barber shop style, first-come first served. I was worried at first when he told me that my car was not likely still under warranty. I called Mazda North America and they confirmed that it was still under warranty. They did a diagnostic check and found the gas cap came loose and messed up the vacuum system. They said the diagnostic service and other adjustments were not under warranty and charged me $40. I figure they could have lied and tried to charge me for some bogus repair, but they did not. It took them 24 hours to get to my car as they take in more than they can handle in a day. My friend tells me she always got good service there. I'm happy with it though I have seen much better. More
