Buying a vehicle is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make, and I walked into this dealership feeling excited, optimistic, and trusting. I expected to leave with peace of mind knowi decisions most people make, and I walked into this dealership feeling excited, optimistic, and trusting. I expected to leave with peace of mind knowing I had made a good investment. Instead, what followed became one of the most stressful and emotionally exhausting customer experiences I’ve ever had. Only a few weeks after purchasing my vehicle, it was declared a total loss. From that point on, what I thought would be a straightforward insurance process turned into months of uncertainty, confusion, and frustration. Instead of being able to focus on replacing my vehicle and moving forward, I found myself spending countless hours making phone calls, sending emails, and trying to understand information from multiple parties. It often felt like I was the one responsible for connecting the dots. One of the issues that caused me the greatest concern involved my GAP coverage and extended warranty. I paid for those products separately using my credit card because I wanted to keep those costs out of my loan. Later, I questioned how those payments were reflected in my transaction because the paperwork and loan figures did not match my understanding. As a customer, I expected complete transparency and clear explanations regarding how every payment was applied. The most difficult part of this experience wasn’t just the paperwork—it was the emotional toll. There were many days filled with uncertainty, wondering when I would finally receive answers and whether everything would be handled correctly. Making repeated phone calls, explaining the same situation over and over, and feeling like I still didn’t have a clear understanding of what was happening was incredibly draining. Looking back, I wish I had slowed down and reviewed every document line by line before signing anything. I also wish I had asked more questions about every payment, every fee, and how each dollar would appear in the final transaction. That advice comes from my own experience, and I hope it helps someone else avoid the same frustration. I’m sharing this review because I believe honest customer experiences matter. Every buyer deserves clear communication, accurate documentation, transparency throughout the sales process, and support when unexpected problems arise. My hope is that the dealership takes feedback like this seriously and uses it as an opportunity to improve the experience for future customers. More

From the moment I first reached out to the day I drove off the lot, the entire process was seamless, transparent, and actually enjoyable. Before I even set foot in the dealership, Alyssa was extremely helpful and communicative. She answered all of my questions perfectly, making sure I had all the information I needed before making the trip out. Once I arrived, the outstanding service continued. My product specialist, Miles, was incredibly easy to deal with, and Marco and Peter were also extremely helpful in the process and made us feel great about the whole experience. A special shoutout to Marco, the GM, who went out of his way to say hello, check in on us, and personally help guide us through everything. It’s clear that great customer care starts at the top. On top of the fantastic team, the dealership itself is top-tier. The showroom and facilities were absolutely spotless. As for the vehicle? It was delivered in near-mint condition, looking absolutely beautiful. If you are looking for a stress-free car buying experience with a team that goes above and beyond, go see the team at Biggers Mazda. I highly recommend them! More
