Germain Mazda of Columbus

Straightforward and low pressure I'm a too-frequent car buyer who has been through the buying process enough times to know all the tricks. The folks at Germain Mazda, and Terry Johnso I'm a too-frequent car buyer who has been through the buying process enough times to know all the tricks. The folks at Germain Mazda, and Terry Johnson, my salesperson, were all just great. They answered all the questions, provided a fair deal, and everything went pretty smoothly for how busy they were last weekend. Overall, a great experience. More

All of the associates we met were courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. The facility was fabulous. Damon Shorterage in the Finance Department was very thorough. Again, no pressure. A+++ experience! And Bo was right, it is FUN to drive! More

As soon as I sent the e-mail saying that I was interested Terry started sending me all the information and helped me with the whole process.

Great Buying experience We made two visits to this dealership The environment was relaxed and friendly at all times. We worked with 4 employees when purchasing our new Maz We made two visits to this dealership The environment was relaxed and friendly at all times. We worked with 4 employees when purchasing our new Mazda CX5 , General Manager Sonny Sosniak, Sales Manager Tim Nilsen, Finance Manager Damon Shorterage and Sales Consultant Rusty Wilson aka "the Car Doctor. During our first visit we met Rusty Wilson and Tim Nilsen. Both were friendly and informative and we felt no pressure. As a matter of fact Rusty used Consumer Reports.org to show me the attributes of the Mazda CX5 compared to other CUV' in the same class. A tool I later used to negotiate with several dealers and in fact I believe it helped me to reach a very satisfactory deal with this dealer. My second visit was several weeks later. Something that sets this dealer apart from many others (we visited 20+ dealers in 3 weeks) was that they let you take the vehicle by your self and encouraged me to take as long as I wanted to test it. I took it on a 30 mile trip and was able to test many of the features that make this a high rated vehicle. Rusty was involved in the process from start to finish. We finally parted ways at 11:15 PM he did a very good job of explaining the ins and outs of the car and his openness and low pressure demeanor helped greatly throughout the process. Sonny spent about 45 minutes with me while Rusty was wrapping up another sale we talked about a myriad of different subjects including that he had served in the Air Force(Thanks for your service Sonny!) . He was so down to earth it was 2/3 of the way thru the conversation before I realized he was the General Manager. I conveyed to him I was leaning towards a competitor's vehicle and told him the plus and minus for both vehicles. Damon handled the finance and explanation of warranty portion of the sale. he did a very good job even though it was late at night. I was really impressed with the interactive touch screen display on his desk. If you ever go in there check it out! I ultimately decided to purchase this vehicle for several reasons; 1. I got a great deal-0% financing, a great price and a very fair price for my trade in. 2. The environment was relaxed and friendly at all times with no pressure. 3. The Dealers for the competing vehicle indicated they didn't have to deal because their product was in short supply. 3. Rusty's diligent efforts throughout the sale process he was really great at thoroughly guiding us thru the process of explaining how to operate the MANY features of this vehicle at 11 PM at night. 4. Finally Sonny really closed the deal he told me most deals are closed without him getting involved. He said what would happen if the deal made it to him and when it got to him he came was upfront and honest but made a fair offer that I accepted. Sonny mentioned that the dealership has several Customer appreciation days per year something many dealers don' do. We look forward to participating. Great dealership nice experience. More

"A blessing sent from above" My Husband and I were looking to purchase a car. We met Rusty Wilson who stayed past business hours while we discussed our options between two cars. My Husband and I were looking to purchase a car. We met Rusty Wilson who stayed past business hours while we discussed our options between two cars. He gave his honest opinion. After test driving the Mazda cx-5, we did not feel pressured into making a decision to purchase either car. We left without purchasing a car because we wanted to be sure in our decision making. We returned a month later to purchase the cx-5. Rusty was phenomenal, patient and very kind. I am enjoying my Mazda cx-5. He was the answer to our prayers. More

Chris Paul greeted us and was very friendly; he was able to direct us to our salesperson, Russell Wilson. Rusty did a great job! He understood what we were looking for by actively listening to what we wanted, and then made a straight forward recommendation that was in line with our goals. Rusty made the process painless and fun. Damon was able to provide the final assist by making sure we understood the terms and conditions. He took a difficult topic and kept it short and simple. The whole team provided an all star experience! More

Wonderful Buying Experience I worked with Terry on my ultimate purchase of a 2014 Mazda3 S Touring 5-door. From the moment I contacted Germain Mazda and was connected with Terry I worked with Terry on my ultimate purchase of a 2014 Mazda3 S Touring 5-door. From the moment I contacted Germain Mazda and was connected with Terry, it has been a wonderful experience. I initially emailed the dealership on a Sunday evening, and Terry even responded that night to let me know he had received my request and would work on it first thing the next morning. Throughout the next day, Terry was incredibly attentive as we negotiated the sale of the car via email. Upon arrival at the dealership, Terry was fantastic. He had the particular vehicle I was looking to purchase ready for me to test drive. And as we walked through each step of the purchasing process. Terry thoughtfully explained everything and made sure to answer any questions I had. Overall, everyone I've worked with at Germain (including Damon, the finance guy) has been great. They made the stressful event of buying a car a fun experience! More
