This review might get a bit lengthy so Ill cut to the chase and fill in some details after. I bought a Certified Pre Owned Mazda 6 from them and the sales dept. was great. Everything was straight forward, no hassles, easy peasy. There were a few things with the car that needed addressed. The front bumper needed repaint and the windshield had a considerable chip in it which was going to crack as soon as we got a cold snap. Fast forward over 10 weeks and the car has been at the dealer more than in my driveway for what were a few simple things, and better yet the windshield still hasn't been handled.
Now for a bit of detail. I scheduled the car for the WE OWE YOU LIST with the service dept. They not only failed multiple times to accomplish anything on the car or the list, but the car sustained damage while in their care. When they finally repainted the bumper it looked like a xxxxxx did the work. Not only was the paint job xxxx poor but when they put the bumper on they just slammed it on so it was puckered and overlapping adjacent body panels. Then to add insult to injury they managed to put a dent the roof, and the window tint was scratched beyond repair. Then they tried to tell me the car was all good. So I take the time off of work to go pick the car up and and when I saw the added damage and the paint job they did give me a loaner while they fixed the car.....for 6 WEEKS!!!
So I finally get the call again to pick up the car. The paint on the bumper was satisfactorily fixed and the dent in the roof was fixed, also they did fix the tint in the window, but the windshield still has a crack from the chip that wasn't addressed in a timely manner which turned into a crack when we got a coldsnap. The windshield was part of the WE OWE YOU LIST!
Then I come to find out that at some point they lost my key FOB and reprogrammed the car to a new key FOB and only gave me 1 FOB. Never told me about it and the way I found out is I had to pick up the car one night with the extra FOB (my wife keeps the FOB in her purse) and the FOB doesn't work all of the sudden! I looked at the FOB that I got when I picked up the car and it is definitely a new unit and not the original FOB.
I am extremely disappointed with the quality of workmanship at Groove Mazda and it seems the guys in the front Ron Baca and Joe Franz are left twisting in the wind while the guys in the back run a muck and it doesn't seem like management has their back. Especially when Ron told me he had to pay for the repairs out of his own pocket which does seem like a bit of BS to me.
Now granted this is a very condensed version of events and there were other things that I could speak to, none of which would shine a good light on the service department at Groove Mazda but if you have read this far I think you get my drift. I wouldn't trust those guys to work on my lawnmower.
