I spent a considerable amount of time trying to choose a dealership and came upon this website. Bill Jacobs Mazda in Joliet was relatively close to where I lived and had the 2013 Mazda CX5 Sport in Blue th dealership and came upon this website. Bill Jacobs Mazda in Joliet was relatively close to where I lived and had the 2013 Mazda CX5 Sport in Blue that I wanted. The dealership also had one of the highest overall reviews. I also reviewed the salesman on the site and decided to go with Dan McCarthy and I'm very glad I did. He was very personable and genuine. I called to arrange a testdrive and it was there waiting for me. He went over the features of the car during the testdrive and wasn't overbearing at all. After the drive, we started crunching numbers and it was very straightforward. My wife who was with me was curious about the next model up and after some momements of bickering (between wife and I) and more crunching of numbers, I ended up going with a 2013 Touring in Gray. Big sacrifice. I really liked the blue. Dan this whole time was very patient and did not rush us. He even made some popcorn for us as our bickering was probably very amusing to him. A few days later we came back and test drove the Touring and we purchased it. I must say that the gentleman in finance (jim?) was also a very straight shooter. He explained everything to us so my wife and I understood. The selling of the extended warrenties and other policies were very to the point and we said yes or no not interested and that was it...he moved on with the paperwork. The overall experience was fantastic and I would highly recommend Dan as your salesman. He's also a family man which in my opinion helps when dealing with people who have families of their own. By the way, the Touring CX5 is great. The back up camera I can live without...if only I had the car in Blue..plenty of 2014 models in Blue but not many for 2013. More

We used a car buying website that put us in touch with Bill Jacobs Mazda because they were listed as having the best price. Dan McCarthy called us the next day to respond to our inquiry and from the momen Bill Jacobs Mazda because they were listed as having the best price. Dan McCarthy called us the next day to respond to our inquiry and from the moment we began talking, I knew that he was going to be an excellent person to deal with. He was very kind, considerate, did not pressure us into making a purchase, and was easy to talk to. Never once did he give us a line of "crap" like most other salesmen do. After some discussions, Dan was able to locate the exact vehicle we wanted in Wisconsin. He came in early the following day to get the paperwork started so their driver could get on the road and be back in time by the evening when my wife and I planned to be at the dealership. When we arrived, the vehicle was there just like he said it would be. He rode along on our test drive and explained all the great features of our vehicle and made sure to answer all of our questions. We know we got an excellant price on our new car and were extremely happy with the price we got for our trade in. Dan went above and beyond our expectations! It was by far the easiest and best experience my wife and I have ever had in purchasing a car!! More

My husband and I arrived at the dealership with only 30 minutes to spend there. Dan cordially greeted us and worked up a price for our trade-in and the new card within those 30 minutes. We negotiated fur minutes to spend there. Dan cordially greeted us and worked up a price for our trade-in and the new card within those 30 minutes. We negotiated further on the phone when we got home. Even though Dan's shift had ended, he stayed that evening to complete the sale/paperwork and we left that evening with our new car. This is the 3rd card we've bought from Bill Jacobs. Friendly people and best price in town. Highly recommend. More
