This is a quick review on my experience of a recent CX-5 purchase on 28th Sept 2020 at Russell Smith Honda near the Reliant Centre. Mr. Gilton Huggett was the sale associate that I worked with. He was purchase on 28th Sept 2020 at Russell Smith Honda near the Reliant Centre. Mr. Gilton Huggett was the sale associate that I worked with. He was very pleasant, knowledgeable and patient. With the COVID pandemic, he was able to give me an excellent price for a new 2020 model and all negotiation was done before my arrival. The check out process was quick and the dealership is clean and relaxing. Only limitation was there were a lot of forms to sign as required by the dealership (not Gilton's fault) and some were unnecessary. Overall, highly recommended and research up front and purchase is the way to good. Gilton also gave me new floor mats [maybe I should not mention this :) ] Very happy customer. More
Great Experience Working with Gilton Huggett! Gilton did a great job listening and following-up. His personality and friendliness gained him the deal. He and the Sales Manager didn't play games. Gilton did a great job listening and following-up. His personality and friendliness gained him the deal. He and the Sales Manager didn't play games. They provided realistic numbers and offered a great deal very quickly. In addition, Gilton went out of his way to deliver the new vehicle to our doorstep and complete the paperwork at our convenience to keep everyone safe during these trying times. I was impressed with Gilton and this dealership. I will do business with them again in the future. More
These people, particularly management, are very dishonest and untrustworthy. Con artist is the perfected word. Insisting on selling a used car with mechanical issues and charging extra tax which is a scam. and untrustworthy. Con artist is the perfected word.

BRING YOUR OWN MECHANIC and make sure you check fine print before signing anything with these deceitful people! More
Gilton was wonderful to work with. He went above & beyond to make the sale and make sure that I was satisfied with the deal I was getting. When I inquired about the vehicle I got an email from two different to make the sale and make sure that I was satisfied with the deal I was getting. When I inquired about the vehicle I got an email from two different sales associates at the dealership. I went with Gilton because he sent a video in his original email to me and I appreciated being able to put a face to the person I would potentially be buying a car from. If I was writing this review solely on Gilton it would be a 5/5. I’m giving a 3/5 stars for two reasons. First, we were purchasing this vehicle from out of town. We flew into Houston to pick up the vehicle and when we got there, we noticed a few blemishes that were not shown online. Very frustrating. They took a little off of the price to “satisfy” us but I still would have liked to have known about this prior to flying into Houston. Yes - we should have asked - but I also feel like those things should be stated online. It’s sneaky in my opinion. Second, I purchased the car mid February, I’ve had it for two weeks and I already need an oil change. It makes me wonder what other maintenance was looked over. I don’t feel like I should have to pay for an oil change two weeks after purchasing a CPO vehicle. Overall, I would recommend this dealership.. just make sure they change the oil on the vehicle. And ask for Gilton! More

I calle I found my Mazda CX-3 on the Russell and Smith Mazda website. I emailed the company and received and email from Gilton Huggett within minutes! I called him a few hours later and we set up an appointment for me to come in. I came in on a Saturday and he had everything ready for me to test drive. I loved it! I got a great deal on my trade in and was treated very kindly by multiple people. I was very pleased with Jason Lainez who was my finance manager. I didn’t feel pressured to do anything I didn’t want to. Gilton took the time to sit with me in my new car and explained everything before I left. I am very happy with my purchase and service. I came in and was very honest with them about what I needed/wanted and I was treated exceptionally. More

Smooth Car Buying Experience!

Then after talking to several Mazda dealerships all over Houston Area, Russell & Smith Mazda was the best in class. They offer great incentives at the dealership as far as maintenance is concerned, one of the top dealerships that offers extra value after you buy your vehicle. I actually talked to a lot of great sales rep at each dealership but something about Russel and Smith made us feel at ease. On August 28th, 2018, we decided to take the leap and Gilton Huggett was our primary contact and he's been outstanding every step of the way. Extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. This was the smoothest car buying experience we've ever had. Price was negotiated up front before we even came into the dealership, no hidden fees or hassle once at the dealership, really put us at ease. I kept waiting for a catch, but there was none. We were provided excellent customer service from both Gilton Huggett and Jad Jibin from the moment we walked in, we were explained everything and test drove the vehicle we were interested in. Then how the vehicle works after purchasing it. The CX-5 is phenomenal, i'm super satisfied with the purchase! Not only does it look amazing, the plethora of features and drive is unreal. Gilton answered all our questions and provided phenomenal customer service from the start to end. Even after buying the vehicle, Gilton was still answering all our questions and giving us tips and tricks. I love how the excellent customer service doesn't end with you leaving the door. Finance department was great, no hidden fees and catches. This was a super smooth car buying experience. I'm going to recommend Russell & Smith Mazda to all my friends and family. I'll definitely do business again with them that's for sure. More

Great vehicle, great service, great deal! Just bought my 3rd Mazda from Russel & Smith Mazda. Great experiences with the manager, sales, and finance team all 3 times. The sales manager (David) Just bought my 3rd Mazda from Russel & Smith Mazda. Great experiences with the manager, sales, and finance team all 3 times. The sales manager (David) was very easy to work with, and worked hard to help me reach my purchase price goal. My sales rep, Gilton Huggett, was very helpful, patient, has been with the company for more than 10 years, and is extremely knowledgeable about the vehicles they sell. After a short test drive of the incredible 2018 CX5, we came back to the shop and worked out a deal within 20 minutes. I truly appreciate both David's and Gilton's willingness to work with me. I even got a 0% interest loan! Over the last 10 years and 2 Mazdas, this dealership has provided excellent maintenance service for my vehicles, from the easy online booking system, to their friendly and helpful maintenance team, and great coupons that I regularly receive. Oh, they also wash and clean your car after each service. More
