Efficient, friendly, excessive dealership add-ons I had an overall positive experience at Russell and Smith when the I purchased the CX-5 Touring.

I worked with Gilton Huggett and he was professional, clear, and nice. We communicated often through email, which was is an efficient form of communication for me. I went to several dealers in the Houston area to get comparison prices. Russell and Smith quoted an excellent price for the CX-5; however, they wanted to add an excessive amount of dealership accessories to the total cost. Many other dealers have very few or no dealership accessories. They were willing to drop some of the add-ons, but not all, by the time we were finally done. On another note, Russell and Smith offered a very good price for my trade-in. It took a total of 3 hours to negotiate a price, finalize the loan paperwork, get the car, and go through the car tutorial. Gilton was fairly direct, friendly, and informative throughout this process. Another nice thing is that I didn't spend much time waiting for Gilton to communicate with a sales manager, it all happened relatively quickly and efficiently. Overall, I would say that I had a positive experience with Russell and Smith, despite some surprising dealer add-ons. More

I went in Monday 12-29-15 for a test drive and it was quite a pleasant experience! He was very knowledgeable about the vehicle I was interested in and was easy to talk to and made the whole experience very comfortable. We ran the numbers on my trade in and I wasnt quite satisfied but the next day when I came in with more research on trade in values he was willing to help me get a little more for my trade it. I'm super happy with my new car and would definitely recommend anyone I know to this dealership! Thanks for everything! More

All dealership have the ability to locate the exact car that someone Otto Schnellbacher is the reason why I am purchasing a car from Russell & Smith. All dealership have the ability to locate the exact car that someone is wanting, but I found most do not want to pursue any combination of features which is not currently available on their lot. Otto was the exception. He was also very patient in walking thru the features, explaining the differences, etc. People like Otto, put the fun and joy back in getting a new car. More

The dealership near me was so antiquated in how they treated me as a customer that I went elsewhere and got a different car. They were out of touch how much information is in the hands of customers these days and that some of us would rather not spend hours negotiating prices. I am so impressed with Russel & Smith dealership. Everyone I dealt with was genuinely friendly and actively working to ensure a positive car buying experience. They were reasonable about prices - on both a new car and my trade in - without having to go back and forth a bunch of times. When the car I wanted was not immediately available they went the extra step of finding it fast. I would definitely buy a future car from them. I am so glad I gave Mazda a second chance. More
