My CX-5 had a recalled part. Brought it, was given a loaner car, repair was made. I was kept up to date via text every step of the way. Brought it, was given a loaner car, repair was made. I was kept up to date via text every step of the way. More
Lakeland Mazda’s service was a waste of time and money. Their pricing is extremely high and was exacerbated by adding services that weren't even necessary. Many questions to my repairs were not answered pr Their pricing is extremely high and was exacerbated by adding services that weren't even necessary. Many questions to my repairs were not answered professionally, or just ignored. What they thought was needed in replacement (not repairs), would have cost me over $3,000. My car is in great shape and does not need parts that are working just fine. What was actually needed in the end was repaired for $850 by another local repair shop. After having to return my car 4 times to Mazda’s service, needless to say was frustrating. It was misdiagnosed at one point. What was repaired by them was fixed, but that was overpriced too. I had a nice talk to the management there and complained about the lack of communication and cost. Years ago their service was great, but has changed. Overall, the people are nice to you, but need to do a better job of answering simple questions and be more reasonable with unnecessary costs. More
The salesperson was very helpful and professional. He was also very patient and thorough, as this was my son's first new car. Brain made him very comfortable. He was also very patient and thorough, as this was my son's first new car. Brain made him very comfortable. More
I made an appointment on 5/24 for an oil change and front windshield wipers. When I received a video showing what repairs were recommended, I saw they had rotated my tires. I went to my service manager, Juan windshield wipers. When I received a video showing what repairs were recommended, I saw they had rotated my tires. I went to my service manager, Juan Morrel, and he insisted that I requested it. I asked to speak with his manager. I told his manager that I have my email that shows the service that I requested. He made like he was doing me a one time favor by taking the price of the tire rotation off the bill. One time is right since I will never go back here again. I guess this is a common practice. Someone else complained about the same situation. Michael Floss More
We purchased a vehicle from Mazda Lakeland in Dec, 2023. Within an hour all of the warning lights on the dash lit up and soon the car went into limp mode in the middle of traffic on I4. We called the deale Within an hour all of the warning lights on the dash lit up and soon the car went into limp mode in the middle of traffic on I4. We called the dealership and they asked us to "give them a chance to fix it. " Since then it has been in the shop for 47 days for 4 attempts to repair. We have invested $1229 in a repair that they assured us would fix the car, and it is still not safe to drive. Here is an outline of events. The problem with this car has created multiple safety issues for our 24 yr-old daughter. Leaving her with a badly misfiring car, in limp mode, on the side of I4 -once during an attempt to go to the hospital for a medical emergency. After the third repair attempt, upon my request, I received a call from Sophia Justiz, General Manager of the dealership. During multiple conversations she suggested that we complete a “buy back” of the malfunctioning vehicle and trade for either a new car lease or another used car. But when pressed, her "buy-back" offer was to trade-in for $12,500 a car for which we paid $14,595+$899 Doc fee+all other fees and repair expenses. Mazda Lakeland actively avoided the 5 day return policy by asking us to give them the opportunity to fix the car. Now that we are outside of the 5 day window, they will only offer to trade the car in for thousands less than we paid or it, or leave us with an unusable vehicle. Obviously, she considers this an opportunity to sell another car, not to stand behind a previous sale. The bottom line is that our hard-cost investment in this car (excluding measurable transportation and lost work) equals $17,992.50. Mazda Lakeland’s offer of $12,500 leaves us with a true, out of pocket cash loss of $5,492.50. Sophia refuses to even respond to me or acknowledge 5+ attempts to communicate with her since May 5. I attempted to contact their parent company, Holler-Classic. They would not accept a call or email either. Stay clear. More
Mazda Lakeland never stopped working to get me the EXACT vehicle I wanted. Angela Stone was golden as my salesperson, taking extreme care to explain and set up driver dashboard features; sales manager Wayne vehicle I wanted.
