Worked with Rick Brown and he was absolutely excellent. Not pushy at all, very patient with showing me multiple cars and features until I found my perfect ride. The sales manager Chris was great too.

Another excellent purchase experience with Ivan at Jim Ellis Mazda. Had wonderful experience with him 8 months ago so I emailed him and made an appointment to ensure that we would be dealing with him ag Ellis Mazda. Had wonderful experience with him 8 months ago so I emailed him and made an appointment to ensure that we would be dealing with him again. He was just as easy to deal with and as helpful as last time. I've purchased 8 cars in the past 4 years (yes, seriously) and the two at Jim Ellis were the easiest and least stressful. I had a horrible experience at another Metro-Atlanta Mazda dealer and the experience at Jim Ellis was so different it was truly amazing. Just can not say enough good things about Jim Ellis Mazda and Ivan Chernov! More

I absolutely love the care I received while shopping for my Mazda! I was not hassled when I walked the lot with my sister. When we went in to discuss my interest? The receptionist was polite and patient! I my Mazda! I was not hassled when I walked the lot with my sister. When we went in to discuss my interest? The receptionist was polite and patient! I have bad anxiety talking to strangers. She introduced us to my salesman MIKE F. and he took great care of me! He even helped detailed my car so I wouldn’t be kept waiting! My sister is now on the market for a Mazda and wants to come back to THIS dealership! From every person I encountered the experience was amazing! I absolutely loved my experience! I will certainly refer people to come here! THANK YALL FOR BEING AMAZING! More
This is a review for Jim Ellis Mazda. We recently purchased a brand new Mazda CX-30 on Sat 16 Sep 2023. The entire experience from start to finish was a veritable circus. We wanted to wor We recently purchased a brand new Mazda CX-30 on Sat 16 Sep 2023. The entire experience from start to finish was a veritable circus. We wanted to work with a sales person whom my friend had worked with previously, Hilton. When we arrived, Hilton was with another customer and could not see us. We asked him for a solid sales rep. He sent us to Anjanie, who was anything but. She was inexperienced (by her constant statements of, “I’m new. I have to learn more about this…”), unprepared, not up to speed on basic knowledge of the cars nor of the basics of the Finance offerings. She was looking at the web site with us as we were deciding which trim line of CX-30 we wanted to consider. She was looking up the info along side us – she did not seem to know anything about any of the differences in the trim levels. I asked whether Jim Ellis was tacking on any kind of dealer premium to list price at this time…she didn’t seem to know what a dealer premium was, even after I asked in 2 different ways. I had to confirm that with the Finance manager eventually as she literally did not understand what I was asking. When we decided on a trim level, Anjanie (AJ) located one. Before we drove, I wanted to make sure the numbers were going to work for financing. AJ told us that Mazda was offering 0% financing. We told her that we were financing on 60 months, and she told us that as long as the credit score qualified us, there would be no issue. I calculated the numbers based on a negotiated out-the-door price on 60 months at 0% with $6,000 down and we were happy with that payment. As soon as we got handed off to the Finance Manager, he informed us that the 0% was offered only on 36-month term loans. The best rate we could get was 7.4%, which drove the payment up by approximately $70/month. So I negotiated down to a price that got close to the monthly payment amount that we thought we were getting on the 0%/60 month deal. But even to get to that deal, once we confirmed on: total cost, terms, APR, tax, and down payment, the payment amount I calculated was $21 per month lower than what he presented to us. I asked – how can I be getting a different monthly payment amount than you? He responded by saying that the first payment on the loan wouldn’t be due for 90 days. Why would anyone in his right mind defer the first payment for 90 days?! I had to ask him to recalc the loan based on a customary 30-day window before first payment, and only then did our numbers match. He said that many customers want the 90 day window. I think that’s hogwash – if they knew what that 90 day grace period were costing them over the course of the loan. Then the Finance Manager started presenting us with the customary add-ins (like prepaid maintenance, tire & wheel insurance, etc.) as expected. He started quoting how much extra the monthly payment would be based on the packages individually/bundled, etc. – all as expected practice. Then I noticed that these add-ins were being offered at “$X/month on 63 months.” I asked, why are we seeing these prices based on 63 months when it’s a 60-month loan? He responded that they automatically extend the loan term by 3 months because it eases the increase in monthly payment for these add-ins – again telling me that “many customers want to do it this way.” My response was, this is apples & oranges. The base loan is on 60 months; these payment increases are based on 63 months. This makes this process impossible to really understand. Only after I prompted him to change the add-in monthly amounts term to 60 months did he show us numbers that actually made sense. In the end, we got a good deal, but only after myriad misinformation, mistakes, really slimy tactics, and constant calling them out on their misleading at best but truly unethical tactics and attempted tricks. I am an informed consumer who understands basic Finance, and only because of that was I able to get a good deal. More
My experience in the purchase of my new 2023 Mazda CX-5 was nothing short of outstanding, from start to finish! Derrick Wynn was wonderful to work with, honest and very knowledgeable.

He drove the car to me to test drive, I completed all necessary paperwork online and he delivered my car to me that same day. I couldn't be happier! More
Terrible experience, they tried to price gouge me and do a lot of unnecessary stuff to my car. They quoted me $3,000 and completely misdiagnosed my 2014 mazda cx-5. Their service manager (Eddie?) charged me a lot of unnecessary stuff to my car. They quoted me $3,000 and completely misdiagnosed my 2014 mazda cx-5. Their service manager (Eddie?) charged me $300 for diagnostics that were incorrect. I took it Pep boys after taking it to Jim Ellis (because the car was still drivable mind you) and pep boys said all I needed was a new battery and like magic the issue was fixed. I gave Pep boys the diagnostic report from Jim Ellis Mazda and they said it was definitely an attempt at overcharging me for unnecessary services and my alternator has been working fine ever since, even though Jim Ellis Mazda said it had already gone bad. DO NOT trust this dealership or service department, I'll never use them again. This felt like a scam for sure. More
