Had a great, easy, no haggle/hassel experience with both Kenny and Delroy. Best car buying experience yet! I strongly recommend this dealership to anyone who wants a RELAXING car purchase!

The employee/agent who was working with me was very friendly and knowledgeable. The facility is nice and ambient. However the people in finance are plain deceitful. Without my consent they added over $ friendly and knowledgeable. The facility is nice and ambient. However the people in finance are plain deceitful. Without my consent they added over $2500 in third party products (extended warranty, etc) and were actually rude to me when i asked them to remove the products and redo my paperwork. In the end i was forced to buy one of their car cleaning service that was about $300 (something i could have done myself at home for less than $10. And that ruined my whole buying experience. I would not recommend the dealership unless you get a really really good deal. More
I brought my recently purchased certified pre-owned 2007 MX5 in for servicing of a water leak in the trunk and passenger area. This dealearship was willing to work with me on the resolution. They acted in a MX5 in for servicing of a water leak in the trunk and passenger area. This dealearship was willing to work with me on the resolution. They acted in a kind and courteous manner. They wanted to make the situation right. My experiences with Russell&Smith have been great. I approached this issue in a fair and professional manner and the dealership responded in kind. The car was delviered back on time and in proper shape. Even some missing fasteners inside the passanger area were replaced. I highly recommend these folks. More
To be fair to Russell & Smith, nearly every experience I have had with my Mazda has made me regret ever purchasing anything other than the other import make I previously favored. That said, th experience I have had with my Mazda has made me regret ever purchasing anything other than the other import make I previously favored. That said, this complaint is exclusively regarding Russell & Smith. I take my 2010 Mazda 3 GT to Russell & Smith for the routine maintenance. I get friendly reminder emails when it's time to start thinking about scheduling and I get the car into the dealership on or near the appropriate 5,000 mile mark. In September of 2011 - around the 20,000 mark - I took my car for the routine maintenance (oil, tires, fluid, etc.). The report was that everything was in "Good" condition. As far as tires, this mean that MORE THAN 50% of the wear was remaining. This is consistent with what I was told when I purchased the car - that the tires were good for 50,000 miles. It is now November 2011, I took my car for service (25,000 mile routine maintenance) this morning and was told I need FOUR NEW TIRES. When I mentioned to Alfred - who did not know the rating for the tires - that (1) the tires were supposed to be good for 50,000 miles per the Mazda dealership's own representations and (2) that two and a half months and 5,000 miles ago they told me that I had 50%+ wear left on the tires, the best response Alfred could give was, "Well, that's not good." Really?! Not good huh? I obviously did not come to that conclusion already before mentioning those two rather pertinent facts! Alfred then suggested several filters to be replaced and flushing all of my fluids, etc. At least when I take my car and purchase tires elsewhere, the new ones will not be part of the disaster that is the Mazda experience. At least local tire shops honor their tire warranties and know how long they should last. Avoid this dealership for routine maintenance. Avoid Mazda for vehicle purchases if you can! More
I purchased a 2011 Mazda 3 over the weekend and worked with Kenny. He was not pressuring; just informative, positive and most importantly, honest.

Bought a Mazda3 but the dealership only had 1 key that fit the car. The other key did not fit. They spent 1.5 months trying to get and cut a key that worked. Could not get the job done. They pawned me off fit the car. The other key did not fit. They spent 1.5 months trying to get and cut a key that worked. Could not get the job done. They pawned me off on another dealership, who also could not get the key cut. Called the Sales Manager at Russell and he was not profesional in any sense of the word. I tried to tell him how his dealership cut a new key for me, sent it in the mail and it still did not work. He told me that did not happen. Told me he would hang up if I didn't "relax". 2 months later I still do not have a second key that fits my car. Very porr customer service from the service manager. More
I had been searching for a pre-owned Miata for some time. My wife actually drove by the dealership to view the pre-owned Miata. The staff was extermely friendly, helpful, and patient. When I arrived at the d My wife actually drove by the dealership to view the pre-owned Miata. The staff was extermely friendly, helpful, and patient. When I arrived at the dealership, I was greeted promptly and was treated with respect. All questions were answered promptly. In fact, the saleperson stated to please ask any and all questions. There are no stupid questions or too many questions. In the end, we were presented with a fair deal that we accepted. While I waited for the temporary tags to be placed on the car, I stopped by the parts department to check on a second key and remote acccess fob. The young man behind the counter was very helpful. He printed out a diagram of the key and fob, wrote down the prices,including the labor to program the new key. As I was dropping the top down on my Miate before I left the dealership, Sutoyo, another sales representative, stopped and talked to me about my car and congratulated me on the purchase. I did not see one unhappy or disgruntled worked in the dealership. Unfortunately, great customer service seems to be a fading service not offerred by more and more businesses. Russell and Smith Mazda, however, still beleives in the importance of treating their customers well. I will recommend this dealership to family and friends. Beware of some of the other dealers and their unbelievably low prices and go for a fair deal with a reputable dealership who will stand behnd what they sell and support who they sell to. Thanks, Russell and Smith Mazda!! More

My trade was received for the right amount of money and the price I got on my 2011 Mazda CX7 was unbeatable. I will recommend Russel & Smith Mazda/Ford to everyone and definitely recommend Carlos Duca as a sales guy, great at what he does! More
