Germain Mazda of Columbus

Tried the rest, came back to the best! When I started looking for a new car, I went to Germain Mazda first. I was greeted warmly upon arrival & invited to look around & visit the beverage When I started looking for a new car, I went to Germain Mazda first. I was greeted warmly upon arrival & invited to look around & visit the beverage area. Some dealers, didn't even acknowledge me & let me leave after much time in the showroom without even saying goodbye. Germain Mazda's Terry Johnson took the time to show me everything about the car I was interested in - & he knew everything! I went to other Mazda & Nissan dealers & while one other Mazda dealer did a great job, I was able to teach a few of them a thing or two about the vehicle because of what Terry taught me. I did not like how one of the dealerships had a sales person show me the car, then pass me off to someone else for pricing. I would have then had to work with yet another person on finance! Exhausting, frustrating & impersonal! Germain allows their customer to work with just two people. The salesperson and the finance person for signing. Much better!! I ultimately came back to Terry for several reasons including his knowledge of current & past Mazdas; the great deal he was able to offer & finally, because he demonstrated through his words & actions that he appreciated me & wanted to build a relationship not only for the present, but for the future as well. Sonny also did a great job of guiding me through the signing process. The electronic forms display made them easy to read and understand. How would I rate my car buying experience with Germain Mazda?

Exceptionally excellant customer service I cannot say enough good comments about the exceptional customer service received from Terry Johnson. He was knowledge, kind, curtious, and very easy I cannot say enough good comments about the exceptional customer service received from Terry Johnson. He was knowledge, kind, curtious, and very easy to work with. He went out of his way to ensure my entire car-buying experience was pleasant. He also coordinated and communicated while my car was being serviced and detailed. Every customer should have the opportunity to buy from Terry. Thank you so much for making my car buying experience a true pleasure, Chrissy More

Great sales staff I bought a used car from Brittany Lyons recently and must say that she went above and beyond. I was two hours away so she took the time to look the ca I bought a used car from Brittany Lyons recently and must say that she went above and beyond. I was two hours away so she took the time to look the car over just as I asked and send the extra pictures that I requested. When I arrived the car was as promised, prepped and ready to go! All of the staff I met that evening were pleasant and friendly. More

New Year New CX-3 I am very pleased with my experience at Germain Mazda.

I had been in contact with Jordan Hoffman through email about CX-3's for a couple of months before I made a trip to the dealership. Jordan provided me with information on the vehicle and any pricing questions I had. I went in on New Years Eve to take advantage of the end of the year deals and was helped by Mike Worthington. Mike took me through every detail of the car and out on a test drive. I wasn't pressured and Mike was very easy to get along with. I felt like I was buying a car from a friend and not a pushy salesperson like experiences I've had elsewhere. I had some doubts about my trade-in and the price of the new vehicle and I was immediately introduced to Sonny Sosniak the General Manager. Sonny took the time to explain the pricing, terms of the warranty, and was even able to have a CX-3 delivered from out of state in the color that I wanted. Germain Mazda set out to gain my trust and a lifelong customer rather than just sell me a vehicle and push me out the door. Mike even took the time to play his favorite Adele song to help me setup my stereo, navigation, and phone in the car before I left the dealership. I am very happy with the new car and glad that I took the time to stop at Germain Mazda. More

Overall an OK experience Purchased a brand new Mazda CX-5 from Germain. They had to order it because they couldn't find any nearby that had the options we wanted. Our salesman Purchased a brand new Mazda CX-5 from Germain. They had to order it because they couldn't find any nearby that had the options we wanted. Our salesman Terry was good about communicating through the process. Closing the deal took longer than we would have liked; I didn't enjoy the negotiation process and almost walked out. Also the F&I guy insisted he was legally obligated to try and sell me extended warranties and all those overpriced extras despite my insistence up front that I wasn't interested. Still, nothing was really bad about the experience so I guess that's good as car dealers go? More

Super-easy car purchase We went in to look at a few models, and we fell in love with a used car after the test drive. This was an easy process, no sales pressure at all, ever We went in to look at a few models, and we fell in love with a used car after the test drive. This was an easy process, no sales pressure at all, everything was explained very well, and management even pitched in as they were somewhat short-staffed (we bought just a couple of days before Christmas). Nice experience, would recommend. More

A Very Nice Surprise I haven't bought a car for several years and was expecting the worst from the process. I was pleasantly surprised by the sales staff at Germain Mazda I haven't bought a car for several years and was expecting the worst from the process. I was pleasantly surprised by the sales staff at Germain Mazda who delivered a really great experience. I worked closely with Terry Johnson who was very knowledgeable, patient, courteous, responsive and honest. On top of his excellent service, he and Sales Manager, Tim Nilsen, put together a very attractive and competitive deal on the car I wanted. There was none of the haggling and gamesmanship that I was expecting. This team merits an excellent rating and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality car buying experience. The one negative about my experience (and the reason for 4 stars vs. 5) was the finance/documentation/closing process. The dealership utilizes an electronic system that is very inflexible and difficult to navigate for this aspect of the transaction. My desire to put more money down than was assumed by Brittany (who handled the closing) and to pay for the wheel/tire coverage out of pocket vs. financing it turned into a very involved, frustrating and lengthy ordeal. While this, coupled with her flip and somewhat unprofessional manner, was off-putting, it didn't detract significantly from my overall positive experience. More
