Juan is the Best! Juan Vargas is my favorite service guy. When I arrived he was obviously helping someone but he looked over at me, greeted me and said he'd be right w Juan Vargas is my favorite service guy. When I arrived he was obviously helping someone but he looked over at me, greeted me and said he'd be right with me. It might not seem like a big deal but to be acknowledge right away makes a huge difference in feeling like you are valued. So often you stand waiting not sure if you're next in line or if you should be somewhere else. He is just so conscious and personable. Even though it was horribly cold outside, because I would be leaving my car, he made sure they washed it, knowing it would have time to dry before I picked it up. He is thorough in his work and often thinks of things I wouldn't. I love working with him. I wish all the employees in the service department were like him. More
Best buying experience (I don't say that lightly) As the title says, this was the best buying experience I could have asked for, and I don't say that lightly. I don't normally write reviews as I don't As the title says, this was the best buying experience I could have asked for, and I don't say that lightly. I don't normally write reviews as I don't have much free time, but Danny Bender and Jonathan Sammons went above and beyond to make this a great experience. And that deserves to be recognized. They were very responsive to e-mails to clarify some things before I made it into the dealership. They was no pressure at any point in the process. Danny was very honest, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly with any questions I had on the Mazda 6. They never played any games. On top of that, Danny even drove my old car from their dealership back to my house, over 45 minutes away. We were not trading in our old vehicle, and were not finding any good options to get it back to our house. That's when Danny offered to drive it back. Totally unexpected, and we are very grateful.

Last week I had my Mazda CX-5 serviced at Mazda in Evanston. Simon Kim was the person who helped me and he did an excellent job. Finding the new service place was a bit of a problem because the street sign where you turn off of Howard had been taken down. But once I got there it was great. Simon called me to let me know how my car was and Is a good communicator. He seems to enjoy his job and working with people. Is a good problem solver and goes the extra mile. 👍😃 More
Smoove and soft-sell Chris Reis got the car I had interest in brought from off-site but was with a customer, so my on-site experience was with Brandon. He was knowledgeab Chris Reis got the car I had interest in brought from off-site but was with a customer, so my on-site experience was with Brandon. He was knowledgeable but basically only responded to my questions --> important!! to me. Also, Mazda's reputation had preceded us, as my sister had had a good experience and the 3-Sport, in a color I liked, was just right for this single guy. John Sammon[s?] provided the "deal-maker" by making a CD player happen. I was in a position to take maximum advantage of the Autobarn's $2000-off-with-3.9% arrangement, and when Chris was free he helped me in getting my former car and my Mazda to their destinations, the same-day. He has been responsive to my several calls for his help since. As re: the "Mazda family" concept, this experience has been exemplary! (I am checking Anthony Caminetti below also, because he has been very informative, the day-of and since.) More

Excellent service always! I am extremely pleased with the service I receive at Autobarn Mazda, and Simon Kim is one of several service providers I am always happy to encounter I am extremely pleased with the service I receive at Autobarn Mazda, and Simon Kim is one of several service providers I am always happy to encounter when I bring my car in for work. Simon is very attentive and conscientious about my needs and keeps me informed on the work being performed. I enjoy feeling confident that my car is being serviced and kept in top form to keep it (and me) on the road for many years to come -- and my car is 12 years old, and I still love it and rely on it greatly. Thank you Simon Kim! More
Mazda Service excellence, Mazda Ambassador To me the real hero at the Mazda autobarn is the service agent Juan Vargus. Juan is my personal preference, but he has me trusting anyone that works To me the real hero at the Mazda autobarn is the service agent Juan Vargus. Juan is my personal preference, but he has me trusting anyone that works with me at Mazda Autobarn. I have owned three Mazda's. I've purchased two from Evanston Autobarn. The third I had overhauled and rebuilt by the autobarn team. I just recently got my wife in a Mazda. This is the store to buy your new Mazda or have it serviced! This guy has worked so hard on my behalf from the day I met him to give me the best quality care for my car at a fair price. I was so HAPPY with the repair. Juan Vargus and his crew's persistence helped me process an engine warranty claim. I would have given up on the insurance company that was avoiding my contract claim and just flat out paid all out of pocket for a replacement engine since I was driving a loaner, supplied by Mazda autobarn and needed to get rolling again. Juan acted as my advocate constantly petitioning the contract provider to inspect my vehicle and make a determination. His tenacity paid off for me, allowing me to replace the engine! He spent a lot of time seeking a good engine, in the end, he secured me a brand new engine! His relationship with other Mazda associates must be impecable, especially his top notch mechanics. Being so happy with Juan Vargus' service, I purchased a Mazda 6 from the Autobarn that I just love and will not allow ANYONE else to service my sexy beast 6! This guy takes care of all his clients this way, not just me. He responds to my service appointments request even on his days off, so I'm not left hanging. We should all hope he never leaves as Juan Vargus is the professional face of Mazda Autobarn Evanston, If you have a Mazda that needs service or looking to buy a new Mazda, call Juan. He is what all service agents should strive to be, going above and beyond for no personal gain, just the pleasure in being a professional beyond reproach. There are so many benefits from vehicle care at the Mazda autobarn that go beyond what you might need to visit them for, leaving me to trust the service and vehicle implicitly.
