Germain Mazda of Columbus

Honest, Friendly Dealership Mike was so easy to work with. He reached out to us right away and worked with us through our entire buying experience. Sonny was friendly and court Mike was so easy to work with. He reached out to us right away and worked with us through our entire buying experience.

First timer! I had a great buying experience. I knew that Mazda was the kind of car I was looking for and Terry was extremely helpful. I am a young woman who was s I had a great buying experience. I knew that Mazda was the kind of car I was looking for and Terry was extremely helpful. I am a young woman who was set on buying a new car on my own, and never did I feel like I was being taken advantage of. Terry took three hours to take me out on test drives on potential vehicles for me. He showed me everything these vehicles could do and was very patient and kind. He made sure I left with out questions, and if I did think of any, that he was only a call, text, email away (and he meant it!). My buying experience at Germain was fun and professional. There were a few repairs that needed done of my 2014 Mazda3, very minor, but they were insistent that these repairs get done the same week of purchase. The service team was quick and efficient, as well as kind! I love my car and I will send my family and friends to buy from Terry Johnson. More

Stress less buying Mike was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciated the fact that he didn't push the more expensive trim package when he knew that I could get Mike was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciated the fact that he didn't push the more expensive trim package when he knew that I could get everything I wanted (and then some actually) in the less expensive model. Damon was great as well, in that, he presented the warranty options but didn't pressure me into getting more coverage than I really needed. The trade-in offer was fair and the financing was as I expected. No need to feel defensive or combative when going through the buying process. More

Polite, but Difficult Mike Worthington is inexperienced, but very polite & eager to make a happy sale. Expected to purchase my low priced used car by credit card, but was t Mike Worthington is inexperienced, but very polite & eager to make a happy sale. Expected to purchase my low priced used car by credit card, but was told I couldn't. Tried to work out financing with no cost, planning to pay it right off as the money is sitting in the bank, but was told I had to make payments for 4 months. When I said I was unwilling to do this, I wasn't paying interest when the money was sitting in the bank, they reduced the price of the car. Seemed fair till I saw the $195 origination fee to do the paperwork. After 2 1/2 hours of stressing numerous times, I wasn't willing to pay any additional cost & would easily come back tomorrow, I felt scammed to see this extra $195! Jeremy, the used car manager was the typical slimy guy pushing for the benefit of the dealership with bank kickbacks... Damon saved the day or else I would have walked away. More

Best experience in over 20 years Mike was genuinely friendly and honest. He knew the product well and listened to what we wanted and did not want. We were not pressured into buying Mike was genuinely friendly and honest. He knew the product well and listened to what we wanted and did not want. We were not pressured into buying or buying upgrades that we did not want. It was a very enjoyable experience in dealing with the staff from the GM to Finance to Service but especially Mike. More

Follow through is the mark of an excellent dealership I purchased my 2014 Mazda 3 in May of the same year. The service department and personnel are consistent in how the regard the customer weather on a I purchased my 2014 Mazda 3 in May of the same year. The service department and personnel are consistent in how the regard the customer weather on a day of the sale or years after. Recently, I had an issue with my navigation system. It didn't work. It should work, and it should work all the time flawlessly as far as I am concerned, especially when I am paying on it as part of the car. I have zero tolerance for technology that does not work. I downloaded the update three times before I went into Mazda and it took hours. Afterwards, I would get a message, "1 download is available." I gave up, I inserted the SD card and the map came up as it should. Days later the map goes blank, the nav system is useless. I stop by to see Rusty and ask him about it. He juggles what he is doing to look into the matter. He sits down with me and we go into MyMazda.com. Rusty asks me pointed questions about the steps I have taken, then proceeds to download the new update at his desk on his computer. We wait. We have a successful download. I then insert the SD card, the map shows up and everything works. Days later it goes out again. I go into service and they set up an appointment to look into the matter while I have an oil change. Weeks later during my oil service I am told to call a 1-800 number to Tom Tom, but then the number is to Mazda support. The dealership does not have the authority for a fix. I double check with the Sonny, General Manager to make him aware of the ongoing difficulties I have experienced trying to get this fixed. He then talks to service, calls the Mazda support number asks me to pull the car out of the service garage, gets in the car with me while on the phone advocating in my behalf. We had to reset the nav system, and it works just fine. My point here is this is team work and the buck stops with the Sonny, General Manager who will if need be, become personally involved to seek remedy. Now that is follow through. This experience is from a customer who purchased a car years ago. It doesn't get any better than this. I may desire a different brand car at some point, but I will always want this attention to detail and overall support and service. It makes all the sense in the world to me to stay at Germain Mazda. Thank you Team Germain More

Drove from Chicago for an amazing deal I purchased a certified used Mazda 3 from Germain. I was specifically looking for a manual transmission which is not easy to find. As luck would hav I purchased a certified used Mazda 3 from Germain. I was specifically looking for a manual transmission which is not easy to find. As luck would have it, Germain had exactly what I wanted. On top of that, their asking price was unbeatable. I had been looking for about four weeks, so I knew what this car should sell for, and Germain was right on target. We arrived at Germain on Monday morning. Terry Johnson was expecting us, so he got there early to get everything ready. The car was running and ready for a test drive when we pulled in. Unlike almost every other dealer I have been to, Terry took me on a real test drive! We went on local streets and the highway and were out for about 15 or 20 minutes. I think this helps a lot as a buyer, but is often overlooked by other dealers. Terry presented me with a book of the entire history on the car. It was nicely organized and answered every possible question I could have had about the car. The book included a list of everything that was done to the car to get it ready for sale. They did present me with extremely competitive financing for the car, but I used my own prearranged financing in the end. If you use theirs, you should get competitive rates. Overall, this was a very good experience. I could not be happier with the service or the car. You can try to find a better price, but I doubt you will be able to. More

Simply fabulous experience from start to finish! My husband and I were looking to trade in my 2011 Chevy and we started searching for used vehicles on Cars.com. When I noticed a 2013 Mazda3 "i SV My husband and I were looking to trade in my 2011 Chevy and we started searching for used vehicles on Cars.com. When I noticed a 2013 Mazda3 "i SV" came up in the search results, I remembered how much he enjoyed the Mazda6 he had driven in the past. So I decided to try something outside of my comfort zone and visited the Germain Mazda dealership for a test drive. I received a warm and cheerful greeting from Michelle at the reception desk as soon as I walked in and she graciously introduced me to Rusty. Rusty actively listened and was extremely thorough in clarifying what the "i SV" meant and how it compared to the other options that were available. While viewing the specifics in each trim, I happen to notice there was an option for a standard manual transmission and he was able to locate one in stock ... and also in my favorite color! He arranged my car to be appraised, while I test drove the new one, and they provided a VERY fair offer. Rusty then went above and beyond by painstakingly comparing the pros and cons between 3 other used vehicles my husband wanted me to consider. He even wrote down an entire page full of extensive notes and answers to questions I thought my husband might ask me. This was a ginormous relief for me personally because I was afraid I might not remember it correctly. When my husband came with me a couple days later, he reviewed and answered more questions graciously and patiently. We never felt rushed or pressured in any way. When my husband emailed him some more questions a few days later, Rusty promptly responded to each of them clearly and succinctly. He was a joy to work with throughout the whole process! Damon presented the financing options with great care and completeness. The agreement was displayed on a fascinating interactive touchscreen which streamlined the process a great deal. The entire staff has been friendly, engaging and delightful each time we visited the dealership. I absolutely love my brand new 2016 Mazda 3 (so does my husband) and I couldn't be happier!!! More
