Great Experience I was a first time new car buyer and had a great experience working with Brandon, Jack, and Justin. Brandon took the time to listen to what I wanted I was a first time new car buyer and had a great experience working with Brandon, Jack, and Justin. Brandon took the time to listen to what I wanted and did a great job explaining everything about the car I was looking to purchase. Negotiation process was hassle free; I got a better offer here than any other dealership. Also, appreciated Brandon taking the time to introduce me to the service and parts managers at CJ Wilson Mazda. Justin was a extremely helpful and informative when getting all of my financing and title/registration set-up. Jack, sales manager, introduced himself and stopped by from time to time to see how I was doing; never had that happen at other dealerships I visited. Overall, I had a great experience and received the best deal I could find comparable to other dealers. I am very thankful for the friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable staff at CJ Wilson Mazda. Thank you. More

Great people but overall just an okay experience My wife and I visited the dealership on a Saturday before close and decided to come back the following Monday to buy a 2016 certified preowned Mazda6. My wife and I visited the dealership on a Saturday before close and decided to come back the following Monday to buy a 2016 certified preowned Mazda6. Dan worked with us both days and was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about the Mazda6 and it's features. As it goes, we tried to negotiate on price and accessories, but there was not much flexibility, not even on a preowned vehicle where they likely have higher margins than new cars. They didn't even have flexibility to add all-weather floor mats or tint. Instead they worked out a decent deal on the financing side, but we also contributed over a third of the list price as a down payment. Everything seemed to have gone well with the purchase until we realized a day later that there were a number of things in the closing papers that didn't reflect what we thought we had negotiated and paid for. And, that wasn't explain to us on the day of the sale. For example, a $300 fee was added for some window security edging, which I learned from another CJ Wilson dealer usually is a option offered to customers on preowned vehicles. Also, certain items were added pre-tax on the closing statement even though, per our prior discussions, the price supposedly included sales tax. It almost felt like they duped us (intentionally or not) and, needless to say, we weren't very happy when we discovered these inconsistencies. We went back and voiced our concerns to Jack, who at first didn't seem very empathetic, stating that we should have read what we signed and take responsibility for our actions. I acknowledged that it was partly on us and that we should have been more vigorous asking questions about the various charges during the closing, but it's not every day that we make a $28k purchase and by that time we had been at the dealer for 6 hours, more or less, and there were tons of papers to sign that were briefly explained to us. Some might say that this is even more of a reason to be vigorous, but on the other hand we trusted the people who do this for a living. Lesson learned. Next time we'll definitely pay more attention to the details and I strongly encourage you to do the same, whether you go here or to another dealer. Back to Jack, he did end up escalating our concerns to his boss, Steve, I think that was his name but Never met him myself. And, as a result, Jack was able to offer us a service contract with three free oil changes to make up for some of the difference. At the end of the day, a satisfactory solution. Days after buying the vehicle, when getting tint installed, I had the pleasure of working with Edyta in the service department. She was awesome, very courteous and great to work with. The job was done the next day and I'm very happy with the result. In summary, the people were great (expect for the initial after-sale conversation with Jack), but the overall experience was negatively affected due to the inconsistencies between the purchase contract and what we thought that we were getting/paying for. I'm giving a 3 of 5 rating, which, but for the issues we had, could have been higher. I selected that I would not recommend this dealer mainly because there was no neutral option and I couldn't leave it unanswered. I'll continue to visit this dealer for service in the foreseeable future, so maybe over time I'll get to a point where I will feel comfortable recommending this dealer without hesitation. More
