With being a young couple with little credit, it was definitely a challenge to find us an acceptable deal that wasn't going to kill us in interest, but everyone at Reliable Mazda did an exceptional job to make sure we were driving home in the vehicle we fell in love with! Ben and Mark did an excellent job helping us pick the right car and explaining everything to us. Aaron, Russell, and Kelly were absolutely phenomenal in finding us a good deal. We definitely recommend this dealership to anyone! More

William and Scott were excellent with helping me through the process. My only complaint was having to drive 2 hours back there 2 weeks later to get my second key programmed and being treated like a child by the service department. I was late and I accept the fact I should have left earlier but I told them when I made the appointment I might be late because of the drive and a dental appointment beforehand. They said that'd be fine. I get there and the guy tells me to reschedule. Obviously upset I turn around and go to leave. As I get in my car the service guy comes up to mr and berates me by saying I was acting like a child then tells me he'd "try" to fit my car in just no guarantees. I got my key 2 hours later and left. I will deal with the dealership portion time and time again but the service department will never get a dime from me. More
A Great Service Experience I have been a "car" guy all of my life. I turned 70 this year and have owned 38 cars up to this point, most of them European. I was introduced to the I have been a "car" guy all of my life. I turned 70 this year and have owned 38 cars up to this point, most of them European. I was introduced to the "Mazda Experience" late in life when we purchased a 2009 Mazda 6 for my wife at Reliable Mazda. When I realized that a Japanese car could be fun to drive I eventually purchased a new 2014 Mazda 6, and really fell in love with the car. My only regret was that I didn't get the Technology Package on that car. So I talked my wife into letting me trade her car in on a new 2015 Mazda 6 with the Technology Package, gave her my 2014 and kept the 2015 as my ride! She is a very understanding woman! Recently I was tempted to consider a trade on my car for a used Jaguar XF sedan with just 6,000 miles on the odometer. I drove 125 miles to check out the car. I drove it on the highway and in town quite extensively, and realized that the Jaguar was just not as MUCH FUN TO DRIVE as my Mazda! Yes, it was a superb car, with a nice ride, good steering, looks, inside and out, but it just did not have the "athleticism" of my Mazda, I realized I really did not want to give up my car! I think the only way I could enjoy driving any more, would be to trade my Meteor Grey Mazda 6GT in on a new Meteor Gray MX-5 Miata GT. Now that sounds kind of exciting, except my two small dogs would miss the back seat! On the way back from that trip my BSM system went on the fritz and so I took it in to the great techs. at Reliable Mazda, and Dan got me back on the road in great shape with all systems go once again! Bravo Mazda for making such a great automobile, and for the quality care you provide through dealers such as Reliable Mazda! Michael A. Lomax, owner LOMAX CLASSIC Springfield, MO More

Instead of pressure to make a sale, they seem more genuinely concerned about you finding exactly what you're looking for. After several test drives in different models and trim levels along with having all my questions answered, I knew that the 2016 CX-5 AWD was the perfect fit for me. My sales tech Darrell Lane, made the entire process right down to closing the deal an easy and enjoyable one. I would even go so far as to say that he made it fun. More

Buying a new vehicle, which is a once-in-10-years practice for folks like myself, can be a stressful process. The staff at Reliable made it easy and fun.

The facility is very nice and clean, the inventory is extensive, and the sales representatives are knowledgeable and professional. Chris went out of his way to find the best car for me, for a great price. I won't be going anywhere else to buy my cars in the future! More
Disappointed hard working American. After a few months of looking around for a Mazda3 for my wife, we decided that Reliable Mazda in Springfield MO had one we were interested in. It was After a few months of looking around for a Mazda3 for my wife, we decided that Reliable Mazda in Springfield MO had one we were interested in. It was about a 1-1/2 hour drive south for us. The car drove great, and we were ready to make a deal. It was a Certified 2013 Mazda3 with 34,800 miles on it. After sitting down to make an offer, I offered them $800 below their asking price. They came back with $400 under their asking price and would not budge. After retuning home empty handed and with an upset wife, I continued my search to find that good deal out there for a Mazda3. I found one exactly the same as the one at Reliable Imports, except it was a 2012 but with only 14,600 miles on it not Certified though, at Joe Machens Mazda in Columbia MO. The price was right but not Certified, so my wife and I decided to go back to Reliable in a feeling of defeat not really getting a good deal, but atleast it was a good Certified Car. On the trip down to Springfield, Machens called me several times trying to earn my business. So while sitting in Reliable Imports parking lot, Machens offered to give me the car at the original price I offered Reliable, Certify the 2012 Mazda3, and deliver it to my house! If I was unhappy with it, they would take it back. So I went in to Reliable, to see if a deal could be made with them, and I was treated like I was some kind of second class citizen or something. The manager was very rude! They told me that they had reiterated to me, that was their final price and they would only be making $9 on the sale. B.S.!!!!! Oh and by the way if you read this Reliable, the one who made the smart xxx remark when I was walking out is lucky I was in a hurry to call Machens back, because I would have turned around and slapped the xxxx RIGHT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!!!!!!!!!! The salesman we dealt with, Zack, was great at Reliable. If I were you Zack, I'd go to a different dealership to work for, you deserve better. It's the Management that is falling short at Reliable. Long story short, stay as far away from these CLOWNS as you can. Same goes for all the Reliable Dealers down there. Machens gave me an outstanding deal. Machens was unable to get the car to me that day because of the rigorous Certified process, but they sent down two different colored brand new Mazda3s for my wife to choose from to drive until they could get our car to us. Now that's what I call customer service!! As someone who works hard for their money, this is the car buying experience I was hoping to find. I am extremely happy with Machens and will return for the next car I buy in the future. More
