New Car Purchase My husband and I purchased a new Mazda Mazda3 yesterday. We had done our research ahead of time so we knew what we wanted. Gilton was very helpful. My husband and I purchased a new Mazda Mazda3 yesterday. We had done our research ahead of time so we knew what we wanted. Gilton was very helpful. He led me through a variety of road conditions on the test drive (highway, bumpy roads, etc.) so I could get a true feel for the car. After deciding to purchase the car, we worked with Edgar Williford to complete the paperwork. I think Edgar could talk to anyone about anything! He and my husband talked about old cars for a bit but then he moved us through the signing of all the documents. Gilton then escorted us out to the car, took pics for us and spent several minutes reviewing everything inside the car once again. We both were very pleased with the service from Gilton and Edgar. I'm really excited to have a new car as the one I was driving is 13 years & 3 months old! More

Horrible Timing 2 weeks, after having a pleasurable purchase with (Gilton H. & Pete) with my pre-owned Mazda CX-5, I get a call to bring my car into because they "fo 2 weeks, after having a pleasurable purchase with (Gilton H. & Pete) with my pre-owned Mazda CX-5, I get a call to bring my car into because they "forgot" to do a certification. Not only is this an inconvenience for me, to come on my lunch hour and be pressed for time, it is very unprofessional that as a dealership you forgot to do something, and I have to re arrange my schedule to get it completed. I understand at times, things happen and can be forgotten but if it was so important to be done, I would have appreciated the dealership having it completed before I drove my car off the lot! Gilton & Pete I understand, are not responsible, they were just as shocked as I was to be back in 2 weeks!!!! ******************* FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!! More

Gilton H. took excellent care of me, he greeted me with a warm smile and was professional. Pete L. was also a pleasure to work with answering all questions, and Gilton went the extra mile to make sure I was happy! :) Russell & Smith is a wonderful dealership, friendly customer service from the finance manager (Dennis) and made me feel right at home! Thank you again I love my car! Chantal More

And also, he is a patient and professional man for introduce and answer any question of my interested car. And that is one of reasons why I purchased my car there. By the way, I think I will recommend my friends to get their cars in russel and smith Mazda in the near future. More
Bad business ethics Went in tonight to work out a deal we had discussed on the phone to meet a super friendly salesman and sales manager. The car was already pulled up an Went in tonight to work out a deal we had discussed on the phone to meet a super friendly salesman and sales manager. The car was already pulled up and we were on the test drive within 10 mins of arriving. Once we got back I asked them to go ahead and appriase our trade while we looked around next door. Got back in and the "negotiations" weer underway. They low-balled me on the trade but I showed them NADA values and we met at a middle ground. Lower than I truly wanted but they gave me a decent discount on the 2016 we came in to look at. Once we agreed on a trade number they asked if we had a deal, and I said yes. They went to work up the hard numbers on paper for me to sign off on the deal and that's where things went downhill. The $2000 discount was all of a sudden less that $500 because of the "adders" the car had. I said this was not the price I agreed to so unless they honor the number they told me on the sales prices, no deal. They literally said "that's what dealers do unless you ask for a drive-out number". So guess what....I drove out! Asked for my keys back and said have a nice night. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Update...the owner, Chase Smith, called me this morning after reading my reviews to apologize and make things right. They made me another offer on the vehicle and increased the trade value to make up some of the difference. The issue above should not have happened in the first place but they have tried to rectify the situation. Thank you Chase. More
