Customer Testimonials

They were over priced and after I dropped my car off to be worked on I had to leave 3 messages to call me when they were finished and they still didn’t call me back

I had a wonderful experience!! Everyone I spoke to was so kind, informative, and helpful. I never once felt pressure or judged. I worked with Miguel and could not ask for a better car salesman to work with!! He made the process so easy and enjoyable for me, and took the time to explain things. I spent close to 6 hours here when buying my new car but I swear the time flew by and I had a lot of fun going through this experience with Mazda.

The staff is very attentive to your needs and we are customers for life. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

Always prompt and friendly staff. Service department goes above and beyond. Thank you, Hugo.

Sebastian was really helpful. It was fast. Called in the morning was able to get a schedule at 1pm same day and was finished before 2:30pm

First service, 5k. Easy breezy. Thanks!!

Santa Maria Mazda is really great. I leased my new car from them and I absolutely love it. I went there recently for my first free oil change and tire rotation. I had an appointment and they took my car on time, got it done fairly quickly at the time they said they would, and even washed it for me when I asked them to do that. I’m very happy with their service. I would highly recommend them.

Little unhappy here, my daughter bought a 2015 low mileage CX5 two weeks ago from here, wrote a check and paid it in full, inside of car was dirty, headliner had dirt and crud marks on it, and some small dog hairs in the car yet, if this car was detailed it was a very poor job, if it was detailed at all, out side was dirty but this is Santa Maria wind blows dirt all over, looking past these glitches the car was sound and cleanable, under the hood was clean and underneath clean no leaks, we got a very good deal on this car and the salesman put it in contract, dealer to stand behind car for inspection, we talked about possible fixes if any popped up, now the contract does say sold as is no other work implied or promised, the thing that gripes me is that the air conditioner has a leak in the orfice to plug into and runs weak, the belt tensioner is leaking oil, these are thing the shop people should have picked up on when and if they did a vehicle inspection, these problems were found when my mechanic inspected this car for my daughter, now the dealer doesn't want to stand behind any of it claiming I got a good deal when it was bought, that doesn't excuse the shop from missing these points, I also had a detailer come to clean it and this car cleaned up really nice inside and out, but no excuse for this car to be sold this way. Car is sitting in my garage pending fixing these problems.

The service manager Hugo Carranza was excellent. Did a great job of making a difficult situation work, and getting my car repaired.

I worked with Cela, Pablo and Tyler. Very professional and went the extra mile to get me into my brand new Mazda in Soul Red Crystal. Love it. My first Mazda and was well worth the wait to get it.

I recently bought a used car from Santa Maria Mazda and I was helped by Javier , I am very pleased and happy with my new car and have only good things to say about their sales team. Their attitude and no pressure sales this made my making a decision on what I wanted easy. Thank you Mazda sales team!

Great service. ❤️🧡💛💚💙 I loved the video they sent me as they were working on the car!!

The personalized service and courtesy was very much appreciated!

they were great ! the service department really helped me out ! anymore work i need i will be going back there !

Tyler, Javier, and Celia were amazing! They kept and keep going the extra mile for me. Just really want to thank Queen Celia too for all of her deep diving for me! So appreciated. What a team!

Fixed my car the same day under warrant. Fast and easy.

Good experience but pricey.

Excellent service, loved the video of my car pointing out the issues. Had not received good service from previous shop so Mazda had to fix the problem. Very professional and helpful

Both service manager and service rep, Hugo and Sebastián, respectively, were fantastic! With the master mechanic, Mark, they explained everything I needed to know to carry on with my driving experience. They were all very personable, respectful and clear in the discussion regarding my oil leak. Great service! Thank you guys!

Excellent customer service

Came in for a routine service for my 2025 Mazda. I had an appointment and they greeted me as soon as I drove up and checked me in. Told me about what they were going to perform and how much it would be (ended up being $10 less than what they quoted which is always a pleasant surprise). The waiting room was comfortable and they had home on my way in no time. I know a lot of people are hesitant to go to the dealership for service but this was my first time and honestly it was a great experience.

Are car salesmen getting lazy? Really disappointing experience here. I walked in hoping to leave with a new Mazda. I had told the salesman we were heading in, described the car I'm interested in and he put me in last year's model for a test drive - and didn't tell me until halfway through. When we started the test drive we commented on the A/C not working. This was during a HEAT WAVE. 85° outside. When we made the comment there was no response.. ok.. so we go on the test drive.

Are car salesmen getting lazy? Really disappointing experience here. I walked in hoping to leave with a new Mazda. I had told the salesman we were heading in, described the car I'm interested in and he put me in last year's model for a test drive - and didn't tell me until halfway through. When we started the test drive we commented on the A/C not working. This was during a HEAT WAVE. 85° outside. When we made the comment there was no response.. ok.. so we go on the test drive. Commenting on the hot air blowing on us, and for some reason this rookie salesman takes us on the LONGEST test drive I've ever been on. We were dying to get out of this car! Finally when we returned, the salesmen refused to discuss numbers. Usually when you say you're interested in a vehicle, the salesman is eager to bring you back to his desk and make a sale. I had to insist on going inside, talking to finance dept & finally asking for the sales manager when the incompetent salesman could not come up with a single number, no loan rates, no asking price. This put a bad taste in my mouth for Mazda & unfortunately they are the only dealer for over 100 miles. I would most definitely make the trip out of town next time.

Luis was great and everyone I ran across was very friendly. Nice interactions go a long way in my world. Thank you! I did ask for the courtesy car wash but that got overlooked or perhaps not enough available help that day. Not a problem for me.

Very nice was able to use service contract from Florida

The team was very efficient in checking out my Mazda. Unfortunately I will not be able to have the repairs made. The vehicle has a value of $3500 and the repair estimate was $5100. It is a 2014 Mazda CX5 that I purchased from you new in 2014. It has been a real reliable car and went 195,000 miles with no major problems

There was a recall on a part, they got my car fixed and back on the road.

The Service department had my back more then Mazdas. Even though I bought my 2016 Mazda 100 miles away, from a ford dealer. They took care of a major problem. Thanks Jeffrey S

Santa Maria Mazda Nissan made it very easy to schedule and book my oil change and tire rotation. And I liked the fact that they send you a video showing you the procedures that they went through. I would recommend Santa Maria Mazda service center.

I cannot express how excellent these people are. The service department does an amazing job. If you own a Mazda, have it serviced here. They're great people, super nice and they know what they're doing. If you want a positive experience while getting your Mazda serviced, do it here!

Hands down best vehicle purchase of my life. Truly amazing management and sales team. I recommend people to go see Bentley at SM Nissan/Mazda to your next car or truck.

My drive the car to your shop and told me he had an excellent experience.

I felt comfortable with them they were kind, manager went above and I appreciate it!

Santa Maria Mazda service department was confident and friendly

WONDERFUL customer service! I recently bought a newer Mazda from another dealership and my engine light came on. I took it to Santa Maria Mazda and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Luis was my Service Consultant and kept me updated and informed at all times. I had a hassle free experience. I am so appreciative of the professionalism and transparency from the Santa Maria Mazda team!

Great service and customer care. Happy the way everything went for my service.

Staff was very professional. Building was clean and orderly. I had some recall work done on an older car. They repaired it promptly with no questions or push back. Always greeted with a smile, in person or over the phone . Thank you for all the effort and hard work.

I had a very positive experience! Alex did a fantastic job servicing my vehicle and everyone I spoke to in the service department delivered outstanding customer service!

They were professional and timely. The waiting room was clean but the WiFi was awful.

They were very attentive and covered every concern and issue with my vehicle . Great service

Shopping for a new car brought us to Santa Maria Mazda and we have to say that our experience here was the best of the many car dealers we visited! Javier Nunez spent a good bit of QUALITY time with us, answering our questions and explaining what we needed explained. His knowledge of every aspect of the vehicle was amazing and his excellent salesmanship included honesty, listening and great communication skills!

Oil change. Called twice no reponse from maintenance apparently something wasn't sealed/ tighten.

They take forever to get back to you via text message to answer questions. Services does not even pick up the phone if you call...You get put on hold and are left waiting forever. So sad and upsetting.

My wife and I took our 2001 Mazda Miata MX-5 into this dealership to fix 3 particular issues: 1. Leak with the transmission seal 2. Leak with the oil seal 3. Check Engine Light kept coming on due to Evap (?) exhaust issue. We were told that fixing the 3 items would take 2 weeks; and that was a joke to say the least...it took 4 weeks. More importantly, not only could they not fix a critical item - #3 the check engine light, but they screwed up our clutch when they re-assembled the car.

My wife and I took our 2001 Mazda Miata MX-5 into this dealership to fix 3 particular issues: 1. Leak with the transmission seal 2. Leak with the oil seal 3. Check Engine Light kept coming on due to Evap (?) exhaust issue. We were told that fixing the 3 items would take 2 weeks; and that was a joke to say the least...it took 4 weeks. More importantly, not only could they not fix a critical item - #3 the check engine light, but they screwed up our clutch when they re-assembled the car. They also screwed up the transmission when they re-assembled it on the first shot - causing the 2 week delay. Unfortunately, we are now going to have to find someone to fix the clutch. In just 4 weeks the clutch went from working perfectly to where I couldn't get it into ANY gear this morning after a short drive to run some errands. In short, we now have to sideline our car until we can find someone competent to fix it as we'll never bring any car we ever own to their dealership. As a reference point, when we had the engine completely replaced the gentlemen who did that for us did a service on the clutch and other parts of the car. For many months, and before we brought it to their dealership to fix the leaks, the clutch and every other part of the car worked perfectly. Now, we won't drive the car again until we can have it fixed....by someone competent. As a side note, I'd take this gentlemen's knowledge of Miata's over ANY service technician at their dealership. So let me recap our experience with this dealership: 1. We paid $3,000 for a service that took 4 weeks instead of 2 weeks. 2. Their technician screwed up the initial re-assembly of the transmission which delayed our pick up by almost 2 weeks. 3. Our clutch is now screwed up only a month after getting the car back from their service. 4. We'll now have to spend MORE time out of our schedule to fix their screw up. 5. They STILL - after 4 weeks - couldn't figure out the check engine light issue - which may cause smog certification issues. 6. We will AGAIN be without our car because of their service team's incompetence. Quite simply you should have the Rocky and Bullwinkle look at your car instead of these incompetent fools.

Roque was very professional and very nice. He was great. We were told this repair would take 1 to 1-1/2 hours. We arrived 20 minutes early to our appointment.

NO STARS Service manager and service department are liars. They fixed the issue and damaged my car and wont own up to it and fix it.

DONT BUY THE CX5. Bought a 2016 Cx5 and engine went out at 70K. It was up to date with all maintenance and well taken care of. Mazda robbed me for $30,000 and I don’t have time to get an attorney and go through all that. So of course I’ll take the lost🥲

Sales team was very rude. And didn't seem like they wanted to help.

I had a terrible experience with this dealer when trying to buy a new car (Mazda 323 Turbo Sedan) from them. Not only were they very slow in responding to my enquiries they were very rude and ghosted me, even though I had the funds (all cash) available and was ready to buy a new car from them. I do NOT recommend the sales person (Celica) or the sales manager (Chet) who behaved very unprofessionally. He said he would get back to me about my trade but never did despite several reminders.

Terrible service department. They can't change the oil on your car. They do their free 27 point inspection with their eyes closed. They use a 150 pound torque wrench or just use the air gun until it stops when rotating tires. Stay away.

Should have gone to Jiffy Lube. Service here is terrible. Went in for oil change and tire rotation. Free 27 point inspection. Only they do it with their eyes closed. They overfilled the oil, left the coolant reservoir low, left acid on the top of the battery and severely over tightened the lug nuts on the wheels. The service manager won’t reply to me or Mazda HQ. Stay away from this place!!!

I purchased a certified preowned Mazda from this dealership , which has been an unmitigated disaster. Prior to the sale, I inspected and drove the vehicle. Both the salesman and I noted that it had a luggage/cargo sunshade and a cargo net. After purchase, it was sent to be detailed. Coming back from the detailers , I noticed both the cargo sunshade and cargo net missing. I brought up these missing items to the salesman and he said the luggage sunshade was an “add-on”, he did not mention the cargo net. When I told him , he had originally shown me the ... Read More

When I told him , he had originally shown me the car with those items included, never mentioning that they were add-ons. The salesman just shrugged his shoulders. It’s a typical “bait and switch “ sales tactic. DO NOT TRUST THESE SALESMEN; they are scam artists. Another empty promise was that a certified preowned sold auto is that it would leave the dealership with a full tank of gas. They reneged on that promise as well. I also thought the detail department did a very shoddy job of preparing the vehicle for delivery. I purchased this certified preowned car on Feb. 7. The worst is going out Feb. 15 and attempting to start the car. It would not start. I called AAA for battery service and they could not start it, so it has to be towed. Their certification process is a joke and “Oh Surprise”, the dealership wouldn’t assume the cost of the tow (even though the car is only 2 weeks old). This dealership is an abysmal failure across all departments, sales,, service, and detailing. I would have rated them lower tha n 1, but it is not possible! Caveat emptor.

We bought a brand spanking new Mazda from this dealership in 2017. It was a Mazda CX-5 Touring edition with a 2.5 liter engine. I drove the car for 2 1/2 years and then we sold it to our daughter b/c we thought it was a great vehicle for her. The car has had most of its oil changes and services there at the dealership, and in the service department.

The engine to this car was completely destroyed when a piston broke loose and caused catastrophic engine failure. The service manager and the General Manager assured us they would file a claim with Mazda corporate b/c the engine was not without oil and car had been serviced. The car has been sitting for 3 months without a single communication from the dealership despite multiple phone calls and voicemails as well as emails. Come to find out that no claim was ever filed with Mazda Corporate. We had to do it ourselves. Still not a single phone call from the General Manager or Service Manager. Our poor daughter has been making a monthly payment on her auto loan for three months while the vehicle has been inoperable. These people are so shady, and complete liars. We will never ever buy another vehicle here again nor will anyone in our family buy another Mazda. I cannot believe what abysmal customer service this dealership has. Such a shame.

At first I was impressed with this dealership for service. This last service I am baffled as to how they can put the incorrect oil in when they are a Mazda dealership & the cap you take off to put the oil in shows you exactly what oil to put in. I was sent a follow up email by Josie Garnica, Owner Loyalty Manager introducing herself as well as inquiring about my service experience. Stated to email back or call her direct line. I have tried doing both and have yet to hear back from anyone! I guess they only ... Read More

Shady business practices, buyer beware! Purchased a new CX-50. When we arrived to pick up vehicle, their were missing options that were not installed. We asked to have the purchase price adjusted by the missing options, but they insisted they would installed them after the fact.

Not very happy with them

They will bend over backwards to get you into a car, after that, you are on your own. Their service department is unprofessional and doesn’t follow-through with things as simple as a phone call to tell you they’ve diagnosed your vehicle that they’ve had for 8-9 days.

Service is very slow.

I just purchased my Mazda 6 here and I love it. These guys made the experience great and were easy to deal with. They never pressured me and thats the reason I went back and bought. I never thought buying a vehicle could be this easy. These guys changed my mind about car dealerships. This is the way to do business! Ill be coming back here for my next one in the future!

Very shady business practice. How can Mazda support a dealership that allows such poor, unprofessional dealings? If this happens to anyone else I would recommend contacting the BBB to stop this illegal activity.

They would not listen to me when I said take my car off the table as a trade, just want a simple out the door cash price. Instead, when I would not take a deal that included my car, I was told "Have a nice day, goodbye". On top of that it does take 5 people to sell one car. There sister company next door was also terrible as I went there first by mistake, instead of tell me that the place I wanted was next door, they said the I was to see was busy and they ran a took the car from next door. Terrible, don't go there

I was assured the car was still available and would be all set when I got there for a test drive. 2 hours later I arrived for my appointment. They brought the car around for me to drive. When I got in and looked at the mileage, it was double the mileage of the one online. I told the salesman this was not the car I saw online. He seemed confused then started to sell me on this car. I insisted this was not the car I wanted to look at, but was told the other car probably had sold...within 2 hours??? We went inside and I again told them I wanted to see the other car. The salesman dragged me all over the lot and couldn't find the car. They then took me inside to talk "price" and said they would again check on the other car. They started to high pressure me to make a decision going back and forth to the manager when I said I wasn't going to buy today. They finally found the original car and then the salesman told me " Oh, this one is so plain, look it doesn't have this and this etc. I was insulted by the manager and high pressured. I finally said I wanted to go outside to look at another car just to get out of there!....I just walked to my car to leave. The salesman came running after me saying, oh, come back and say goodbye to my manager...he kept this up til I got to my car. I was so upset and will never go back there or recommend this dealership!!!!
