I have worked for Kennedy Mazda for 22 years and have been in the automotive industry for over 20. I married my wife, Paula 21 years ago and have 5 kids, Christopher (20), Aiden (15) , Alex (13), Katie (11), and Isabelle (4). When not at the dealership I am all about being with my family I am committed to achieving the true meaning of total customer satisfaction. Honesty, integrity and experience are my foundation to helping our customers purchase the right car for them. Making sure our customers get the most competitive lease or purchase option and a smooth vehicle delivery are my top priorities.

It did not start off good with John Moore. Andrew took over and it went much better. I just need a manual for the car, it did not come with one. More

Friendly staff, but did feel a lot of pressure when they kept trying to get me to buy the extra warranties after I had already declined them and was just trying to pay for my brand new car. More

Kennedy Mazda responded

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our friendly staff! We are genuinely sorry to hear that you felt a sense of pressure regarding the extra warranties. That is certainly not the experience we intend for our customers during the final phase of their purchase, and we sincerely apologize for how that interaction felt to you. Our only intention in taking a moment to discuss the options was to make sure you had every piece of information and the opportunity to decide on the coverage you had shown initial interest in. We want to ensure that our customers never drive off wishing they had secured a protection plan they might later need. However, once you clearly declined, we were happy to process the contract right away. We value your business and hope that the positive experience with your new car will outweigh this uncomfortable moment. Congratulations again on your purchase!

I love Kennedy Mazda. There is never any pressure sales tactics, unlike other dealerships. I am currently on my 3rd Mazda since moving into the area. I love my New CX-90. More
