I have worked for Kennedy Mazda for 22 years and have been in the automotive industry for over 20. I married my wife, Paula 21 years ago and have 5 kids, Christopher (20), Aiden (15) , Alex (13), Katie (11), and Isabelle (4). When not at the dealership I am all about being with my family I am committed to achieving the true meaning of total customer satisfaction. Honesty, integrity and experience are my foundation to helping our customers purchase the right car for them. Making sure our customers get the most competitive lease or purchase option and a smooth vehicle delivery are my top priorities.

Sorry you assumed there would be a higher discount available than what we are offering with Costco. Costco is by far the best offer available to the consumer. I would recommend next time perhaps calling before go out of your way to visit a dealership to make sure both parties are on the same page. I am not able to accept an offer ahead of time that I am not even aware of. You take care. Andrew Thompson GM Kennedy Mazda
