Check your tyres aren’t worn before purchase

published

I bought a 2012 CX5 from Mazda Hornsby dealership on 15/8. I just had the pink slip done at your dealership to be told the car
needs 4 new tyres at $1000 to pass the safety check!

I have only done 4,500 Km in the car since I bought it so I was very surprised that the tyres were already worn. This tells me that the car was sold to me with tyres that were unsafe and not road worthy.

I called Mazda to request a refund of the tyres but they refused saying it was wheel alignment issue that caused the tyres to wear rapidly! Please check that the tyres aren’t bald before purchase to avoid having to pay $ 1000 for new tyres after only doing 4500km!!!!

Just don't go there

published

Ripped off in dealership by dodgy sales techniques. Mazda corporate "couldn't" help. Having been a Mazda family from very young - I learnt to drive in a Mazda 323 - I will now never own another Mazda.

(BTW positive reviews of this dealership read like astroturfing.)

PLEASE do not waste your time with this dealer unless you are prepared to be greeted by salesman who are as per my title above. The manager was super confident that he could win my business but they are just words.

Mazda RX-7 Rear Suspension

published

West End Mazda is not the place to purchase any Mazda spare part being so expensive, there is another place cheaper and more reliable. I'm very disappointed with the Service Department that they don't know how to assemble a suspension control arm in my car. It is not a Ford or a Honda, it is a Mazda and I was told to go elsewhere to assemble it! If you want to purchase any Original Mazda Part contact Nengun Performance in Japan, you will save heaps of money and a few headaches.

Terrible Dealership Ticking Its Customer

published

Don't go there! I will not buy anything from this dealership and its arrogant staff ruined my love for Mazda! Very pushy salesperson with no explanation on the contract. Shirk its responsibility and dodge problems. Refused to communicate on issues that already happened. There is no customer service at all! If things go well, then it's your luck. If anything happens, then god bless you!

I Zoom Zoomed the hell out of the dealership.

published

Agreed on a price with salesman and went in to sign the papers and put my deposit, only to be told that they had not agreed on the price and to add further insult, the manager, with little people skills offered me a price on the car that was 2-3k more than the agreed price. Beware of Mazda dealership in Seaford, Vic. They will make promises and won’t follow through with it. Wasted my time and made me feel extremely unhappy with the whole experience.

Dont do finance with them

published

The after sales customer service is pretty terrible. After I had my car financed [name removed] (so everyone can avoid him) did not even bother to send or print the St George finance statement detailing where to pay my repayments which is pretty slack. After calling and emailing him there was no response? Did he die? Or did he just choose to ignore me? I guess he already made his money so he did not bother replying. Pretty crap go and would not recommend financing from them if possible

Huge thank you to Mazda for your very generous support with issues with a CX7... can’t thank our customer case manager Jennifer enough for her assistance. she listened to me .. she was always polite attentive and extremely helpful.

Hornsby Mazda

published

I have just purchased my third Mazda from Hornsby Mazda. Ulike many salespeople who flit from one motor brand to another, Rod Newbrun has been with Hornsby Mazda over the many years of my dealings. Rod takes time to explain everything and point out all the features of the various Mazda models. Rod is polite, not pushy and a real gentleman which makes the final decission easy, all in the comfort of one of the best new car showrooms I have ever seen. Do yourself a favour, consider Mazda for your next new car and go and see Rod Newbrun at Hornsby Mazda, you will not regret either experience.

fraudulent sales methods at Sutherland masda

published

Bought a fairly used CX5 on dealership choice finance . worst level of transparency in disclosing finance interest rate despite repeated requests. kept promising to get my wife and I the best interest rate in the market. The next day got us to quickly sign the contract as he said there were other customers waiting for him. Got home to review the contract only to find he has arranged 14.6% interest rate without informing us. Had good job, good savings and never had bad credit rating. Never forgiven myself to have fallen so cheap by not insisting he disclose the interest rate or read all the paper work before signing.

Not trust worthy

published

I strongly do not recommend the used car section at all don't bother, waste a time don't believe a word they say. They don't stand by their word, they don't negotiate very much and they don't pay top dollar for your vehicle as they state, they claimed my vehicle was rubbish, and most of all they are inconsiderate as they sold the CX9 I was buying to another person actually while they knew I driving there to buy it. Left a very bitter taste, very unprofessional. You guys left a great disappointment with my grandchildren which was to commute them around. To the owner, your staff should know word by mouth is best advertisement and guess what, after the service I got I certainly will not be recommending Wanneroo Mazda.

Mazda Belconnen Dealership Bad Customer Service

published

The other day I was inside Mazda Dealership Belconnen to look at options for a brand new mazda. Another customer had come in to enquire about a car that he was planning to buy. He wanted to know when the car he wanted to buy would be available. I was surprised at the [name removed] (Mazda) response which was 'your annoying'. I dont know the full picture. Maybe [name removed] was having a bad day or maybe the customer had already been in plenty of times but I did not think that [name removed] response/statement was appropriate.

Happy that [name removed] was not attending to me but that was not good customer service.

Bill rocks at Ringwood Mazda

published

I went with my son to Ringwood Mazda on Saturday just to have a look. Bill approached us and listened to what he was looking for. He found a car that met all of His requirements and after moving many cars we took it for a test drive. He bought that car. Bill was a pleasure to deal with, he knew his stock and was confident in finding the right car for Him without being pushy. Well done Bill we can see why the dealership is so busy.

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...
