I recently purchased a Mazda3 from Wellesley Mazda. The service and follow through that I received was excellent.

I was not looking forward to buying a car as I have heard the experience can be difficult. I am not someone who looks forward to the negotiating process and had been dreading the experience. From the moment I visited Wellesley Mazda, I was treated with terrific service. Roberta and Darren were friendly and informative. I did not get pressured, nor did I feel "wheeled and dealed" as I envisioned I would. I was offered a good and fair price for my vehicle. I asked for some extras which would take a little time to be installed and was informed of the process all the way through until delivery. I was also unable to get a ride to the dealership and was immediately offered to be picked up from my place of employment, in rush hour no less, to get my new car when it was ready. I love my new car. The vehicle was washed and in perfect condition with a full tank of gas. From start to finish the experience was smooth, efficient and pleasant. I couldn't be happier with the service and would recommend Wellesley Mazda without hesitation. Thank you Roberta and Darren! More

From the sales deptartment to the service department, my experience has been amazing. I came in on a Wednesday to find my new car, and after filling out paper work having a tight schedule they took care of experience has been amazing. I came in on a Wednesday to find my new car, and after filling out paper work having a tight schedule they took care of everything and by Friday morning i drove off the lot. The showed me all the features of the 2007 CX-7 that i bought, even though it was a used car, they took made me feel as if i was spending a million dollars. Top Notch service, great warranty and even a great commission plan for the sales of the cars so i know i didn't get ripped off. i have had the car for 2 months now and when i forgot to turn my lights off and drained my battery, they were only a phone call away!

On 12/26/2010, we visited Wellesley Mazda to buy a used 2007 Honda Odyssey with 89000 miles for $13950. On test drive we liked the car, however few things were uncertain- 1. The vehicle was not thoroughly 2007 Honda Odyssey with 89000 miles for $13950. On test drive we liked the car, however few things were uncertain- 1. The vehicle was not thoroughly tested. Salesman did not have idea if all the functions in the car were working e.g. DVD player. 2. Due to my job situation I was not sure how much down payment I can do which was going to be decided in 3 days. 3. Dealer did not change the price, but agreed to remove minor paint scratches on rear bumper. As these things were going to take time, salesman suggested that we should put down a deposit of $500 to hold the car until month end (However, agreement did not mention 12/31/2010 specifically). We agreed and paid the amount by credit card. They prepared an agreement which was signed by both parties and all 3 conditions were mentioned in the agreement. On 12/30/2010, when I called salesman to check about the status, he told me that he was not in office for last two days and someone else has sold the car. So all they can do is return my deposit. I was shocked that they did not even call me before selling the car. I declined to accept this refund as they had breached the agreement. On this, they suggest us to come down and meet their General Manager – Darren Bonanno. We explained Darren that we have an son with special needs and my job is moving away on 1/3/2011. Hence my wife urgently needed another car. Dealer’s mistake has caused us lost efforts and opportunity. He said he will do his best to help us. But he offered a car which was not an acceptable deal (Toyota Sienna). We told him that it was their mistake to sell the car and they should bear the loss if any. They should buy another 2007 Honda Odyssey with lesser mileage from market and sell it to us for $13950. He agreed to look in the market at that point. On 12/31 and 1/1/2011, on calling them several times, Darren did not respond. But he responded to my email that they could not find any car at that price. When I sent them Craigslist links that similar cars are available in market, he suggested we should spend extra money to buy car directly in the market. He completely declined that he ever agreed to provide us the deal at his loss and he is not obligated to meet the contract terms. He wrote he was merely helping us as he felt pity on us and we are trying to take advantage of his good heart. On 1/3/2011, he emailed me with receipt of -$500 (refund) by reversing the charge on my credit card. This entire episode has caused us emotional pain, anxiety and lost efforts. He openly dared us to go legal way if we wished and warned us not call or email them back. We felt completely helpless. More
After visiting different dealerships in the Boston area (Mazda, Honda, Ford, Nissan, Toyota) in the long process of searching for my new car, and getting all kinds of experiences, some OK, some not so good (Mazda, Honda, Ford, Nissan, Toyota) in the long process of searching for my new car, and getting all kinds of experiences, some OK, some not so good, some very bad, I finally found what I wanted in terms of both product and service at Mazda Wellesley and had a very good experience throughout the purchase. I dealt primarily with Bill Iannelli and Mitch Harris, and they were very friendly and efficient, answering all my questions with honesty, at any time I felt I was being misinformed or misguided, on the contrary. The purchase went smoothly and I picked up my new car the next day, after the dealer took care of the registration and insurance paperwork. I was impressed by the attitude of the entire staff, from my first contact by phone to the time I picked up the car, everyone showed genuine interest in wanting to help me and no one acted as if they were bored or just going through the motions. I believe I got a good deal and so far I'm very happy with my new Mazda 3. I also plan to bring the car to be serviced by Mazda Wellesley to take advantage of their loyalty program. I would recommend Mazda Wellesley to anyone wanting to buy a Mazda in the Boston area. More

I was in the market for a newer Mazda, as I currently owned one and was unsure if I wanted to stay with the brand. I went and visited Wellesley Mazda right around Thanksgiving and met with Roberta. Rober owned one and was unsure if I wanted to stay with the brand. I went and visited Wellesley Mazda right around Thanksgiving and met with Roberta. Roberta was very patient with my indecisiveness and showed me both the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 and allowed me to drive both with no hesitation. Roberta was also very helpful with answering any questions I had about the vehicles and gave her honest opinion on which one would be a better lifestyle fit for me. I initially walked away from the first deal and Roberta was pleasant with her follow up and when I came in the second round there was no haggling and I got a great price on both my trade and the new Mazda 6. I should note Roberta didn't display any of the typical shysterish sales tactics that some dealers like to pull and was the most real car salesperson I have dealt with in my 15 or so cars I have bought over my lifetime as she was asking me genuine questions about my life and was talkative. Mitch in finance was a pleasure to work with as well and wasn't pressuring to buy typical dealer add-ons. All and all I enjoyed my experience with Wellesley Mazda and recommend them for a purchase especially if your going to go through Roberta! More
After purchasing our car, we were told by Roberta that I could come back the next day (Wednesday) to pick up the completed registration (transfer of plates). I called before I went to pick them up, and Robe could come back the next day (Wednesday) to pick up the completed registration (transfer of plates). I called before I went to pick them up, and Roberta informed that the registration was not ready yet and was told to try back the next day (Thursday). I called again on Thursday mid-day and was told that they still did not have my registration, but that it should be done by that afternoon. I offered to come pick it up, but Roberta told me that she would prefer to mail it. My husband & I were heading out of town for the weekend, so I asked that the registration be mailed & faxed to us, to make sure that we were covered. I confirmed both our mailing address and the fax number with Roberta. Upon on return on Monday, no registration had come in the mail or via fax. I once again called the dealership, and spoke to Alex who said he would look into the matter. I later got a voicemail from Roberta saying she had mailed out the registration, but could fax it over if I provide her a fax number (a number that I had given her twice already). I called back & Roberta had left for the day. I spoke with Jeff, who said he would look into it and call me back. An hour later, Jeff called & said he could fax it over. Once again, I gave the fax number. Yet again, nothing came through. (And no, the fax machine isn't broken. other faxes are coming through.) At this point, the car is not legal to be on the road because the seven day window to get the car inspected has passed, and the inspection can not be done without the registration. I called again this morning, and again reached Alex, who said he would pass the message along once more to Roberta. I called again about 2 hours later & finally got Roberta on the phone. I explained to her my frustration & ask that she work to resolve it. At this point my frustration had built up because I had to be so proactive in fixing the process instead of Roberta fixing it for me. When I implied that I did hold her accountable for the inability to resolve the issue, Roberta got very defensive with me. She finally offered to deliver the registration to the location of where the car is parked, and then hung up on me after getting the address. UPDATE - Roberta never delivered the paperwork. My husband went in to pick it up. When it finally did come in the mail, both the registration & the postage were dated Saturday (two days after Roberta swore she got it & mailed it). HOWEVER, the customer service manager called us & apologized for Roberta's behavior & attitude. More
My experience w/ Wellesley Mazda was one of the better ones I've had. I went on a Saturday morning to test drive a new Mazda 3. The dealership was pretty empty, but I noticed that it was modern and clea ones I've had. I went on a Saturday morning to test drive a new Mazda 3. The dealership was pretty empty, but I noticed that it was modern and clean compared to some of the dealers I've recently been to. Plus, it wasn't big by local dealer standards i.e. less intimidating. A salesperson, Greg A. , welcomed me and asked several questions about what I was looking for . Fifteen minutes later, we took a quick test drive around the area. The test drive left me undecided about the car, but instead of facing the inevitable dealer tactics and arm twisting, Greg and his sales manager simply told me about the incentives Mazda was offering for any remaining 2010 vehicles and hoped that my experience w/ them was a good one. Well it was, and if I do decide on the car, I'm going back - no hassle buying experience. Why can't they all be this way... More
