We’re glad to hear Rueben took good care of you, but we’re sorry the rest of your service experience fell short. Returning your vehicle with the contents of the glove box left out and not receiving the car wash you were expecting are details that should have been handled with greater care. We appreciate you recognizing Rueben while also bringing these concerns to our attention. Your feedback regarding the vehicle’s condition at pickup and the missed car wash has been shared with our management team for review.

We’ll be sure Jake and the team see your kind words!

Mazda of Claremont responded

We’re sorry that your CX-70 has required multiple visits for the same side-view mirror concern without the issue being resolved. We understand how frustrating it is to bring your vehicle in three times, particularly for a problem that affects your confidence while driving on the highway. We also regret that your follow-up message to Ruben did not receive the response you were expecting. Your concerns regarding the unresolved repair, repeated visits, and communication have been shared with our management team for review.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re glad your first service visit with us was a great experience and that the inspection provided helpful information about your Mazda6. It’s especially good to hear that the inspection helped identify issues that may be covered under your warranty. We’re also happy Ruben was able to make the process smooth and keep everything moving, even with the window replacement waiting on a backordered part. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you for choosing us and trusting our team with your Mazda!

The wait is too long to do the works on my car. They should have advice me that it would take that long otherwise I could go to other dealership. More

We’re sorry the wait for your vehicle’s service took much longer than you expected. We understand how frustrating it is to spend that much time at the dealership, especially when you could have made other arrangements or chosen another dealership if you had known about the delay. Clear communication about expected service times is important, and we regret that we did not set the right expectations. Your feedback regarding the service time and communication has been shared with our management team for review.
