Hello! I am John Zale. I am 28 years old. I was born and raised in Valparaiso, IN. I have sold cars for five years. I was a Certified Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram salesman through college. After college, I was a manufacturer's representative for Weber grills. As much fun as it was to be a travelling salesman, I missed being home every night and building a reputation in my own neighborhood! I'm proud to represent Mazda in Valparaiso as a Master Certified Salesman. If you'd give me a chance, I'd love to earn your business!

We came from the south suburbs of Chicago to look at a used truck. It was raining and cold but a salesman named John Zale came right out to help us. John was very helpful sharing the history of the vehicl used truck. It was raining and cold but a salesman named John Zale came right out to help us. John was very helpful sharing the history of the vehicle which meant a lot to us. We came back in a couple days after thinking it over, and bought the truck. John helped us with switching Indiana title and registration to Illinois. All went smoothly. John Zale was not only professional at his job but honest. You don't see that to much anymore. We will shop at Kennedy Mazda again. More

Tony (Featherweight) Zale. stellar salesman. Friendly, respectful, and not pushy. He understood how hard it was for me to let go of my 2012 Scion tc, and why I wanted a certified used vehicle.

He made the process of buying my Mazda 3 nearly hassle fee. There is always, always, always the onerous paperwork. Bonus for wearing a mask to protect me! More

Bought my very first car My sales consultant was John Zale and from the get-go they were very welcoming and is flexible with the time and the date that I would want to come in My sales consultant was John Zale and from the get-go they were very welcoming and is flexible with the time and the date that I would want to come in. When we got there, the car was ready for a test drive and John's very informative about the car's specs and performance. It was my first ever car deal and John was not pressuring us to get the car, but instead he was patient enough to answer each and every questions we have. He was also nice enough to find a bank who could offer a much lower APR than what we already had. The Mazda CX-5's price was reasonable and the interior/exterior was still phenomenal even though it was used. Ken Freeland's very approachable. He explained everything to us in detail, most especially the advantages of insurance. Will definitely come back and recommend this dealership! Had an awesome experience with them! Definitely a 10/10!
