3 hours for an oil change is totally unacceptable. I had appointment for 8 am arrived at 7:40 and didn’t leave until 10:45 and this the second time this has happened. I have bought 2 cars in the last More

MedCenter Mazda in Pelham, AL was truly an incredible experience. Car buying can be an incredibly daunting, frustrating and contentious process. MedCenter Mazda is the exception to that stereotype! They More

I waited for over three hours for an oil change despite having an appointment. I also had an oil leak after service and had to go to a different service center to get my oil cap tightened and my oil topped More

I so far have only bought maintenance parts for our car from Med Center Mazda, but they are very helpful and polite. When we purchase a new Mazda, they will get our business and I will continue to buy main More

We’d really like the opportunity to make things right. If you're open to it, please reach out to our service manager directly at tstratton@medcentermazda.com, so we can review your repair history in more detail and explore possible next steps.

Just happened to find your email from back in August. I would love for my car to be fixed, I really would. Previously, it was looping the navigation. After bringing to Med Center Mazda, now it loops between the Mazda symbol and the home screen. Also, I still can't connect my phone to Bluetooth or set the clock since daylight savings time ended. If you believe this could be fixed, I can have my husband drop it off on a Saturday. Last time they said the guys that work on that issue are only there on weekdays.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ I originally brought my car in for a suspension-related noise, which led to nearly $3,000 in repairs. After picking it up, I noticed a different noise—not the one I brought it in for. I More

Marcus, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the continued issues with your vehicle and understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be—especially after investing in significant repairs and trusting us with one of our own vehicles. Our goal is always to provide accurate diagnostics and dependable service, and it’s clear we didn’t meet your expectations in this case. We appreciate your patience and your commitment to maintaining your vehicle properly. If you're willing, we’d like another opportunity to inspect the vehicle—possibly with a technician riding along with you to better identify the sound in question. We want to make this right and deliver the level of service you deserve. Please contact our service team directly at tstratton@medcentermazda.com, and we’ll make arrangements to take a closer look.
