Unprofessional sales executives - Werribee Mazda

published

I was looking to buy a new car and happened to drop in at Werribee Mazda. The attitude of the sales rep was horrible (for lack of better words). Never seen such a cold attitude from the sales reps.

AVOID

published

I purchased a Mazda Vehicle in 2015.
I have had nothing but issues with this vehicle.
Mazda Australia claim they look after their customers. They simply don’t.
I have had years of complaints on this vehicle yet their “Field Technical Specialist” can’t find anything wrong apart from a seatbelt that needs replacing (Yet again).

I am continually guaranteed contact from a Case Manager who just doesn’t return calls when promised.

In the last 6 months I’ve had 2 System Malfunctions, SRS AirBag Malfunction, Master Cautions, over 40 consecutive days at the dealership and that claim “No abnormalities were found”

AVOID

Mount Gravatt Mazda provide professional and old time customer service!

published

I have just bought my second Mazda from Mount Gravatt Mazda. The customer service they provide is awesome and does not stop once you sigh on the dotted line. The service department is professional and helpful.

Excellent service

published

The whole experience were fantastic. Nic Ranieri was brilliant he explained everything, no pressure and encouraged me to try several cars until I found the right one for me. He gave his time and I appreciate that. Nic gave me material to take home and read and introduced me to other members of the team to answer questions. I found everyone very friendly but not pushy. When I did decide what I wanted he made sure I understood how everything worked going through everything on the car. He also introduced me to Stef who was very helpful. Thanks Nic and the team at Mazda Ringwood I am really happy with the purchase and have recommended you to my boss who is also looking at getting a Mazda.

Review on Shannon Brown - Preston Mazda

published

I recently bought a Mazda 2 Genki from Shannon Brown from Mazda in Preston. Shannon isn't your typical car salesman! He made this process very easy for me with his non-pushy, polite, respectful personality plus he laughed at my jokes lol. He was just a nice bloke, what can I say! I can recommend him highly and don't be afraid to bring a bit of laughter into the mix. After all, its an exciting, happy time buying a new car!! - Lisa

Zero customer care

published

Don't expect any customer care if you buy a Mazda, you are on your own. All I need is a door adjustment and it seems too difficult for any dealer to accommodate easily. Even after explaining the poor behaviour of Essendon and Bendigo Mazda to Mazda Australia, they initially tried to assist but couldn't even transfer my call successfully. It seems that if you want any warranty work done through Mazda, you need persist and ignore their tactics to make their customers so frustrated that they walk away in tears. NEVER AGAIN

Terrible customer service - sold me a lemon

published

So disgusted with Mazda service. My Mazda CX-5 diesel needed a new engine after only 90,000km due to a known manufacturing defect. Mazda has dragged it on for months. Don’t buy these cars.

Misleading prices for fixed servicing

published

Okay booked my car in for 40,000 service and fixed servicing is around the $318 mark but when confirming my appointment it turns out I am up for $517 as they need to change brake fluid and cabin air filter. This is blatant dishonesty and really makes a mockery of their capped fixed servicing. If it has to be done at 40,000 then include it in the price right from the start. Sick of being treated like an idiot by companies who think ripping off the consumer is a god given right.

First the salesman need to listen to the customer's need and don't use your tactics and skills to force their opinions and ideas so that they won at the end and close the deal.....
You don't want other do it to you! Then don't do it to them.
It's their hard money they have to use in way they want .
Second you need time to spend with them and don't show you are getting tired...
The worse of all
THEY DID NOT CONTACTING
Us to see what they can do, WHY? Simply
They DON'T CARE

Incredible staff

Needed advice on new battery

published

Battery died on a Saturday morning so called the dealership for advice. Car bought from them and just out of warranty (great timing). Service dept is normally opened but happened to be closed due to public holiday. So asked if I could speak to a salesman about replacing the battery. Told there was no one here who could help. I then asked if there was anyone there who knew anything about mazda vehicles. Put on hold then told again there was no one here to help. Only needed to know if a normal battery replacement was ok as the car has the I-stop facility. It appears as no mazda salesperson knows much about there vehicles to help a customer. Ended up getting a battery from elsewhere and you do need a special battery for any I-stop car.

How did Mazda Australia or the dealership resolve those issues? Did anyone successful get a refund on the grounds of major fault of the Australian consumer Law?

Hey Stan,
Unfortunately MAZDA Australia is dragging their feet.
I have a case manager who is less than helpful and have unfortunately needed to seek legal advice due to their lack of action.

MAZDA Australia have inspected the vehicle and I’ll include an extract of their email.

“We advise that the FTS completed an inspection of the vehicle which included a road test and no abnormalities were found during this inspection. The FTS did however record the following:

LHR seatbelt does not always retract properly. Recommend belt to be replaced.
Osram 60 Watt HB3 Bulbs fitted to High Beam headlamp, GE Brand 55 Watt H11 fitted to vehicle Low Beam headlamp. These are aftermarket headlamps with correct specification for vehicle, but they are not OEM fitment.”

I have contacted my local Dealership and have scheduled a full day with an out of town dealership for them to assist me as the local dealership is in my opinion doing little to nothing to assist or resolve the issue.

I have also recently had additional issues that were brought to the attention of my local dealership within the last week and were agreed to be an issue however, were dismissed a matter of minutes later being “normal operation” without a formal inspection taking place.

If you choose to buy a MAZDA, keep in mind what I have indicated when things go wrong.

Thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately I have already gone down that road of buying a Mazda. I'm currently dealing with multiple electronic failures that comes up randomly and sometimes causing power steering and other safety features to lose functionality while driving. I have asked for a refund last year, but they blamed it on a 3rd party dashcam. However since then, they have disconnected the dashcam but the issue still came back. I have asked for a full refund but I do not think I will get a straight answer that they have transferred the money to my bank account.

I have a 2014 Mazda CX-5 diesel AWD, I paid $942 for 4 new tyres at 60,000kms, had my car serviced today at 94,000kms and have been told the tyres are unroadworthy, how is that possible after 34,000 kms, I’m a female and take it very easy and mainly drive just around town. Has anybody else had to replace their tyres this often? Is this due to them not being rotated at every 10,000km service?

I asked a 2015 Plate Mazda at Werribee Mazda. and in fact, they give me a 2014 made year and 2014 compliance certificate car. the 2015 plate was written on contract. I realised it after I drove the 2014 car for 2 years. It was my first car! what do I do? This evil car dealer.

Rebecca, I suppose that it's 'caveat emptor' in your case.

What did you mean when you said 'plate'. How they took it, deliberately or otherwise, your request for a certain dated plate could have been interpreted as being first registered in that year. There are many, if not all, cars - not just Mazda vehicles - sell well into the year after its build date, particularly if there has been no change in the model and sales are slow. It doesn't make them worse cars and shouldn't, in theory, bother a buyer when you decide to change yours - at least to buyers who know what they're doing.

When it comes to selling the car, Rebecca, anyone worth their salt will have done a bit of research on the car they desire to purchase. By doing that they will have found that a particular build date, say, week 50 of 2014 was no different to that built on say, week 20 of 2015, and thus concentrate on the condition of the vehicle. Anyone fancying buying a 2015 car that is identical to a 2014 car but is showing evidence of harsh usage and poor maintenance is just being silly.

Keep a record of your services and keep a log book. Any discerning buyer will be interested and swayed by those.

Don't worry, be happy.

Cheers,
John

Hi Rebecca,
It's common some cars are 2014 built although 2015 compliance. It would be good note for yourself in the future that you ask specifically for a 2015 built vehicle.

In the event that you signed the original contract for a new car, you would notice it doesn't have any VIN number or Engine number along with built and compliance details.

It is always a good to ask if car is in stock or ETA of delivery. If the vehicle is in Australia request to have details up front before going into the dealer and signing delivery.

Also note if your purchasing a new vehicle generally first quarter of the year, you don't always get the same year built vehicle.

In the future if you were to sell/trade the car, of course the year of the vehicle contributes to the price and along with condition, maintaince etc...
