Do not go to this dealership, absolutely terrible customer service and looking to scam their customers. My boyfriend and I went in looking at a certified preowned Mazda CX5 that we had found onli customer service and looking to scam their customers. My boyfriend and I went in looking at a certified preowned Mazda CX5 that we had found online. We were looking to trade in a current car and upgrade to the Mazda. Our current car was valued ~$4-$5K under the fair valuation that we had found on all online appraisal sites and, as noted by other reviews, there is an additional $2K fee on each of the car prices listed online which is "in the fine print" on their site. After speaking with our salesperson, John Boniello, were able to negotiate the offer to be a $12.5K difference between the trade in car and the Mazda CX5. John B had taken my credit card as he said we had a deal and was going to charge a $1K deposit for the car. The car currently did not have a title and he said they would receive the title in 1-2 weeks so the $1K would be to hold the car for us. After agreeing to the deal, John B's manager, John, came into the room and asked "what can we do to make this deal happen?" Obviously this was confusing to us as we had just handed over our card and agreed on a deal. John continued to negotiate saying $12.5K was not possible. It was also very apparent that he was only interested in speaking to my boyfriend as he did not make eye contact with me, a woman, at all despite my name being on the appointment and my card being the one about to be charged, still in John B's hand. They ultimately offered us $13K in which we said we were going to shop around and come back if we were still interested. We came back at 6pm when they were closing and said we would sign for $13K. John B once again took my card and was going to process the $1K deposit for now the second time. He came back and said the office was closed but to call first thing tomorrow morning and we'd get it processed. We called and texted first thing Sunday morning right when the dealership opened. John B did not return any of our calls or texts for several hours. Later in the afternoon he called back and told us the car is being sold to someone who put in a better offer. We asked him to clarify when this offer was put in as we were about to sign at closing the prior day and called right at opening this morning but he said "that is all my manager was able to tell me" then proceeded to tell my boyfriend and I it is our fault we did not sign earlier. Again, we had tried to pay 3 times at this point. Ultimately a terrible experience that has transparently turned us off on Mazda as a brand. Truly the definition of old school sleazy car salesmen.

I had leased 2 Mazdas from this dealership, and with my lease ending I was back for a third. We were off to a very rocky start with a sales rep who would not hear anything I was saying, ignore me and push lease ending I was back for a third. We were off to a very rocky start with a sales rep who would not hear anything I was saying, ignore me and push forward his agenda. I was almost at the door, ready to leave and never come back, feeling that my time was being wasted. Manager Flavio Rodriguez stepped it and turned the whole experience around! He answered every question I had, worked me on all details about realistic price and timing. On closing day, everything was prepared and ready, there were no surprises and I was in and out in under 2 hours. Flavio handed me over to their Finance Manager Alejandro Ruiz, another amazing professional, who also went above and beyond to make up for the rocky start of the process, and this was the last drop that made me rate the dealership full 5 stars!

I reported a fraud complaint to the Federal Trade Commission based on the Auto Loan Scams guidelines. (https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/auto-loan-refinancing-scams) and to the Office of the New York Commission based on the Auto Loan Scams guidelines. (https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/auto-loan-refinancing-scams) and to the Office of the New York State Attorney General under the subject of New Car Purchase Dispute. (https://ag.ny.gov/file-complaint/consumer/vehicle). Here I forward the information to you, Mazda USA as well. This email serves as a formal written report for further legal purposes as well. I purchased a Mazda CX-50 from New York Garden City Mazda on April 24 2023. There is a unexplained, hidden fee of $2495 on the financing contract, in which I've so far not been explained at all. 1) The MSRP was $34570. 2) The price on the financing contract (page 2, line 1) was $40399.43. Subtracting the sales tax $3334.43, the car itself would be $37065. 3) There is a $2495 (MSRP $34570 - $37065) discrepancy. For the above reason, I sent an email to the financing manager to inquire about the discrepancy (his email is jli@gcmazda.com), and up to today I still have not received any explanation from him. Additionally, I sent an email to the Sales Representative, Danny Han, who sold me the car, to inquire about this issue. First, he told me it's due to $1000 MSRP markup + the tire and wheel protection program. In which, his answer is not true and misleading. I replied to him: "The tire and wheel protection is listed separately on Line I of the financing contract, which is $1595 not $1495. And a pricing breakdown is not provided at all before and during the sales. You told me it was sold on the MSRP price. With 1000 additional with the financing plan, that would make the effective rate 1.75%, which is not 0.9% at all. If the 1000 is part of the financing option, then the advertisement would be considered false advertisement, which potentially violate the false advertising law. Also, no written material or pricing breakdown was provided before purchase , notifying me this cost, is also a unethical practical of commerce. Here, I request a fully break down of the price. " Up to this point, Danny Han and the Garden City Mazda ignore my inquiry and refuse to provide a pricing breakdown at all. To summarize: 1) As a consumer, I have the right to know how much I pay for an item, which Garden City Mazda did not provide at all. 2) The Garden City Mazda as a whole demonstrates poor professionalism and lack of respect to clients, and also in many ways breaking the laws and providing misleading information and potentially commited fraud and false advertising. Here is what I will do: 1) seek legal assistance to follow up on this incident; 2) continuation of report and communication with the regulators on Garden City Mazda's malpractice of business; 3) provide negative feedback on Garden City Mazda on search engines and social media until the following requests are met... My requests from Mazda USA: 1) provide me with a formal pricing breakdown of what I've bought. No lie. No game. No hiding of pricing. 2) investigate Garden City Mazda's unethical practice as mentioned above. More

The Absolute WORST! BEWARE!!! Ever hear of Bait & switch? These guys made a deal with me, we agreed, signed a contract, put a down payment on it and I spoke to 2 ma BEWARE!!! Ever hear of Bait & switch? These guys made a deal with me, we agreed, signed a contract, put a down payment on it and I spoke to 2 managers. All good right? Nope! I put insurance on the car, sold my old vehicle, was excited to pick up the new car....... On the day of pick up, the salesman surprises me with "You have to talk with the finance manager". (We were clear this was a cash deal). The finance manager proceeds to tell me I either finance the car or I pay $995 extra for the car!!!!!! STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS DEALER PEOPLE!!!!! More

I brought my CX-5 in for service and was really disappointed. The technician that worked on my car I believe his name is Xavier showed completely no care when servicing my vehicle. Me being the per disappointed. The technician that worked on my car I believe his name is Xavier showed completely no care when servicing my vehicle. Me being the person that I am, I checked the dipstick before I drove out of the dealership and good thing I did because it looked about 2 quarts low. I’m having a hard time understanding how dealership can’t even do an oil change correctly and when I brought it up to the service manager Juan, he basically told me to get lost. Do not go to Garden City Mazda and specifically do not go to the service department. Juan the service manager is completely careless and shows no regards for his customers. More

I strongly urge anyone considering doing business with Garden City Mazda to reconsider. Despite having purchased two vehicles from them, I can confidently say that they are the most expensive and difficul Garden City Mazda to reconsider. Despite having purchased two vehicles from them, I can confidently say that they are the most expensive and difficult dealership I have ever dealt with. I am still extremely angry towards them after 3+ years. Their service department is a complete joke. As someone with extensive knowledge of cars and vehicles, I can attest that their service team is utterly useless. They never listen to all of your concerns, often jotting down only half of what you say and frequently getting it wrong. Even when I have provided them with ample proof of an issue, including documentation from online forums and other sources, they simply brush me off. Their technicians are poorly trained and unprofessional. I have had multiple issues with their service, including having to take my car back multiple times to fix the shoddy work of their sloppy technicians. They also overcharge for their services, charging a whopping $799 per axle for brake replacements, while another dealership charges only $580 per axle. Their oil change prices are equally outrageous. Their trade-in process is just as bad. They will lowball you on the value of your trade-in and pressure you relentlessly to accept their offer. They will even go back on their word and try to renegotiate the terms of your agreement at the last minute, leaving you feeling completely cheated. In addition to their poor service and overcharging, their newest manager, Steve, is a lying and incompetent individual who makes promises he has no intention of keeping. The overall experience at Garden City Mazda is one of extreme frustration and disappointment. Garden City Mazda is a rip-off and a scam. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. You will be much better off dealing with a reputable dealership that values its customers and provides quality service at a fair price. I will never stop sharing stories of my countless awful experiences. This pathetic excuse for a dealership is an absolute disgrace, and I am filled with nothing but loathing and disgust for the way they operate. More
