After years of recommendations from friends, I finally made my first Mazda purchase (Oct 2022) and it was a great experience! (I keep my new vehicle purchases for several years - typically 12-15 years!) made my first Mazda purchase (Oct 2022) and it was a great experience! (I keep my new vehicle purchases for several years - typically 12-15 years!) Everyone at the dealership was professional and helpful. They all seemed to have my personal satisfaction as their top priority. I left with my new vehicle very satisfied. So far, the vehicle is great and love the ride! More

I was referred here by a old coworker/family friend and had a great car buying experience. I emailed Eric regarding a car that they had in stock and he promptly responded to my email and gave me a great ou had a great car buying experience. I emailed Eric regarding a car that they had in stock and he promptly responded to my email and gave me a great out the door price. Adam my sales person was quick to call and set up a day and time to come in. He kept in contact with me regarding the vehicle. When I came in Saturday 1/15 I was greeted automatically when I entered their dealership looks like a show room and the hospitality was great. Adam got us keys right away for a test drive and offered to let us go by ourselves, we asked for him to come as we weren’t familiar with the area and he asked what kind of test drive we wanted, short ride or a longer test drive. After returning the selling process was great, he was laid back, friendly, and answered all my questions. As we were new to Mazda he made sure to go over all the features, how to work everything before we left, he sat in the car with us to make sure we were comfortable with all the features. Marta the Finance Manager was awesome as well, nice, friendly, she went over everything as well and answered all questions and concerns. After my experience I understand why my friends have been coming here for years. I had great experiences with Eric, Adam, and Marta. Go White Sox! More

Dealership only cares about reviews. If you write an unfavorable review, they will not sell you a car. Will allow you to go through full paper work and bully you into not writing another review before t unfavorable review, they will not sell you a car.

I came in ready to buy, approval in hand and the manager only offered 3000 for a vehicle that was appraised well over 8000. He stated the transmission sounded weird which made no sense. It was a terrible ex only offered 3000 for a vehicle that was appraised well over 8000. He stated the transmission sounded weird which made no sense. It was a terrible experience especially since the same vehicle I want is still listed. Updated review…….. I had an absolutely terrible experience with Mazda of Orland Park. In March 2021, I went with my father and the owner of the dealership provided a very horrible experience in which I decided to detail in a google review. Fast forward to November, my father and I decided to try the dealership again. We had new circumstances and went through the process fairly quickly and fairly well with the finance manager, however once the documents were signed the vehicle was ready to be driven off the lot as my own, the finance manager comes in with a printout of my review to say do I remember writing the review, why would I come back if I had a bad experience, and if I’m going to change the tune of my review. At this point I’m confused because all of my paper work is done and now I’m being chastised about a review of my experience. The finance manager which was the only woman in the office, said please just say sorry, he’s mad. He wants you to apologize and say you are not going to write another review. We don’t sell cars to unhappy people. At that point, John who says he owns the dealership, stated he took the review personally because he has children. Again saying he understands why my review was written but he doesn’t agree that I wrote the review. After 30 minutes of going back and forth the manager finally just I want you to say you’re not going to write another review and let’s leave as friends. As a consumer, at this point I’m floored. Im embarrassed and upset because I’m feeling like I’m begging for a vehicle I have already outright purchased. John want to shake my hand and at which point I decline politely and said I rather not at this time because naturally you again have ruined my experience. Then he says forget it you can’t have the car. You’re not happy. At this point my father and I are floored. The purchase was complete. I’m only grateful that I did not allow them to run my credit again because I walked in with my own pre-approval. This was the most embarrassing, horrible experience car shopping. Again as a consumer if someone tries your establishment after a bad experience, you should thank them and try to better their experience. This dealership just doesn’t have any class, any respect, and seemingly from their reviews on google this is the new approach they take with their customers who they claim to treat like family. -- More
