I recently had moved from WA state to GA state to be closer to my Fiance's family as we just introduced our Daughter into the world. This resulted in me having to leave my car behind and search for a ne closer to my Fiance's family as we just introduced our Daughter into the world. This resulted in me having to leave my car behind and search for a new car. I had about 5 cars in mind and really didn't have any idea of what car I wanted out of the 5. I took an entire day to go to dealerships and talk to the sales staff to get a better idea of what car I wanted to purchase. My first stop was Mazda. Rick instantly greeted me at the door and was extremely nice right off the bat. Rick was not hesitant to let me test drive a CX30, and never during my time there did I feel pressured to purchase or provide an answer on if I wanted the car. It was very clear that Rick knew a lot about the car and could answer every question that I had. He was passionate about Mazda's and was just very fun to talk to. Rick instantly made me feel like this was the right car for me. I ended up going to 3 other dealerships that day and my experience was completely different than what I got with Rick. The other sale people at the other dealerships were extremely pushy with me, and made me feel uncomfortable. They also told me very little about the car I was interested in, and what they did tell me was just straight up wrong. I did my research before going so it was very uncomfortable when I called them out on their errors like the cars Horse Power, Torque, interior capabilities, etc. To sum up the above, I had the chance to work with 5-6 sale people at different dealerships (including another Mazda dealership) and Rick stood out from the rest by far. He called me but never pressured me, he asked great questions, was extremely patient with me, and also was very nice/caring to me during a time where I experienced some loss in the family. Rick seems like a great family man, a person who has been in the industry for a while, and a person who knows how to connect with his customers. Even during the awkward moments where we were waiting on paperwork, he was trying to get to know me better and just further proved to me that I made the right decision. I never once felt uncomfortable and I would 100% recommend Rick if you are in the market for a Mazda or just a car in general. Thanks again Rick for everything, and I appreciate the patience and time you had given me. I absolutely love my new Mazda and am so happy I decided on the CX30. More

Your service advisor didn’t like the way I was questioning him which made him uncomfortable so he stated I was being ugly and hung up on me. Now I never used profanity, if your service advisor ca questioning him which made him uncomfortable so he stated I was being ugly and hung up on me. Now I never used profanity, if your service advisor can’t answer questions and if being question is too stressful for him, why would he work in the automotive industry. If you look at my background youll see I have a little knowledge of the automotive industry. I am very aware your calls are recorded. He’s a SALES advisor the assumption that just because he tells a CUSTOMER something they shouldn’t question him is absurd. I had a delightful buying experience with sales and F&I professionals at your dealership, but as you know customers buy about 4 cars in their life time but the service department is we’re constant revenue is generated. Listen to the call I’m by far am not a shrinking violet BUT all I did was ask questions he either couldn’t answer or maybe because I’m a woman he felt I shouldn’t be asking. Woman have significant buying Power and I buy where the customer service is the priority. Now I know I'm just a Mazda customer not a PORSCHE customer BUT that’s also misleading. I’ll leave you with this HOW dare he HANG UP on a customer the audacity to think he could do that. More
