I would not recommend Modern Mazda of Burlington based on my experience attempting to purchase a vehicle from them. I spent several days working with the dealership on a 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid. We negoti my experience attempting to purchase a vehicle from them. I spent several days working with the dealership on a 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid. We negotiated the price, worked through financing and taxes, exchanged the information needed for the purchase, and reached the point where I was ready to buy the vehicle. On Tuesday afternoon, at approximately 3:30 p.m., I spoke with the dealership and provided my credit card information specifically for a $1,000 deposit to hold the vehicle. This was after the dealership had repeatedly discussed taking a deposit to secure the vehicle because they said another customer was interested. Afterward, I did some additional research and obtained a CARFAX report. I was surprised to discover that the vehicle had a reported accident involving the right-front fender/hood area, despite the vehicle having been advertised/listed as having no accidents. At approximately 4:20 p.m., I called Chelsea and asked about it. She looked back through the vehicle’s information and confirmed there had been an accident, which she said the previous owner described as involving a deer. I told her that because this was information I had just discovered, I needed to speak with my wife and make sure she was still comfortable purchasing the vehicle. Approximately two minutes later, I called back and told Chelsea we were still going to purchase it and asked about completing the paperwork. At that point, I was put on hold and a sales manager came on the phone and told me they had another customer coming to look at the vehicle and that if the other customer didn’t buy it, they would let me know. I reminded her that I had already provided my credit card information for a $1,000 deposit to hold the vehicle. I was then told that they had not actually charged my card because I had said I needed to speak with my wife after discovering the accident history, and they had gone ahead and contacted the other customer. What was particularly disappointing was the attitude I received from the sales manager during that conversation. I found her manner unnecessarily arrogant and disrespectful considering the circumstances. I understand that dealerships have other customers and need to sell vehicles. However, this wasn’t a situation where I disappeared for hours, backed out of the purchase, or stopped communicating. I had already agreed to purchase the vehicle, arranged financing, provided my credit card information for a $1,000 deposit, and only asked for a few minutes to discuss newly discovered accident history with my wife. I called back approximately two minutes later and said we were still buying it. My biggest concern is that the accident history was something I discovered myself after we had already gone through the purchase process and I had provided my credit card information for the deposit. Had I known about it upfront, my wife and I could have considered it before reaching that point. Based on how this transaction was handled, I would not recommend Modern Mazda of Burlington to others looking to purchase a vehicle. If you are considering buying a used vehicle here, I strongly recommend obtaining and reviewing the CARFAX yourself before agreeing to the purchase or providing a deposit, and make sure you have in writing exactly what the dealership considers necessary to hold the vehicle.

Buyers should be warned that the company will (a) accept on-line orders, (b) specifically invite users to provide different bot selling Madza parts.

Outstanding service I have a Mazda CX-5. Bought brand new from this dealership. I have always taken my vehicle to their service department for maintenance. Marshall an I have a Mazda CX-5. Bought brand new from this dealership. I have always taken my vehicle to their service department for maintenance. Marshall and crew are outstanding. He always explains the work to me and gets me in and out in a timely manner. My neighbor has a Mazda that was bought in Greensboro and they hate taking their car in for service because, even with an appointment, they are sitting there for hours and the service department is always trying to get them to fix something that does not need fixing. Keep up the good work Dick Shirley Mazda Service department!!!!! More

New Car Buying Experience I purchased a 2016 Mazda CX-5 Touring AWD at Dick Shirley Mazda in December 2015. Eryk Rippenhagen, Internet Sales Manager, called me after receiving I purchased a 2016 Mazda CX-5 Touring AWD at Dick Shirley Mazda in December 2015. Eryk Rippenhagen, Internet Sales Manager, called me after receiving my contact information from TRUECar. I had already test-driven the car at a dealership closer to my home whose sales department would not offer me what I considered a fair purchase price. Eryk emailed me a detailed, line item purchase offer that was consistent with the TRUECar estimate. Eryk was straight-forward and honest throughout the car buying experience. When I arrived at the dealership to purchase the car, Eryk took the time to explain the car's features and operating instructions in detail. It was very informative and helpful. Some of the accessories that I ordered were not in stock (roof rack for example). When the items became available, Eryk arranged for someone from the dealership to drive 30 miles to my house to pick up my new car and deliver me a loaner car while the accessories were installed. They returned my new car within 24 hours. I consider that outstanding customer service. I highly recommend Dick Shirley Mazda and Eryk Rippenhagen. More
Best New Car Buying Experience Ever! This was the best new car buying experience ever! From the first contact w/dealership (via email), we received relevant & complete information. Our This was the best new car buying experience ever! From the first contact w/dealership (via email), we received relevant & complete information. Our salesperson, Eryk, was extremely professional, polite, thorough and helpful the entire time. He listened very well, asked appropriate questions and paid attention to what we wanted in a car (CX5). He was very knowledgable about the products and options. Although he didn't have the exact car we wanted on the lot, he quickly located one within the state and had it sent the next day. The whole process was pressure-free and a very pleasant experience. We received what we feel was a very fair deal, with no high pressure tactics from Eryk or the Finance Manager Kenneth. Finally, our new car orientation was the most thorough and informative that we have received in any new car experience. I would definitely do business with Dick Shirley and Eryk Rippenhagen again. Would also highly recommend to anyone looking for a new Mazda. Entered this once but not sure it registered, so doing it again. More
