My husband and I needed to get a car for our son and I saw an advertisement on cars.com for a Nissan. My husband emailed our information and immediately we received a response from Carlos and he set us up an appointment for the next day. He was extremely kind and everyone else there was as well. He is a Top notch guy we really appreciated him. Freddie the financial advisor was very helpful our deal was excellent and around the affordable price we were looking for. Excellent deal and service. Customer service is outstanding here my family gives them 5+ stars and highly recommend this dealership. Thanks again Mazda dealership.

TLDR: Place is sus, but probably okay if you have limited other choices. Just be ready for some hassle. This review is for the service center in particular... and they would have gotten 1 star if not for Ali (manager of the whole place) resolving my issues. Took my car in for a lot of issues. Among them, I asked for a diagnosis of 2 different sounds. One, they said the power steering pump was whining excessively internally and recommended $1,371 to replace. Two, the other sound said they said was coming from a belt tensioner and said it was $465 to replace. I declined both, as I already knew the power steering pump was whining (not new info... so what's wrong with it?) and my boyfriend had already thought it wasn't the belt tensioner but that he would replace it for me instead of having to pay the dealer so much. I left my car there for a week so they had plenty of time to check things out and do it right. I had to pay $145 for each diagnosed item where I declined the work (so $290 for those). My boyfriend replaced the belt tensioner and lo and behold... the rattle was still there as he thought it would be. So it wasn't that. Additionally, the power steering whining was significantly reduced! It's probably because they updated the computer software to fix a headlight issue. So the power steering did not need to be replaced either, another misdiagnosis. ALSO, my boyfriend said they left things just in a general mess in the engine compartment, fluids left dripped out on stuff, etc. They also missed very obvious things that were about to be big problems, like my starter cable almost cut all the through! (They didn't do it, they just didn't notice it was about to break.) Etc etc etc, I could go on, but you get the point. So we were pretty mad and went back to talk to the service center in person to ask for a refund for the misdiagnoses. We immediately asked for the service manager but they said he wasn't available and we'd have to talk to our original service advisor, Amanda D. She was completely uninterested in helping us, did not care at all and defended the work the technicians did without even offering to talk to them about it or investigate the issue. Tip: if you end up having to take your car here, do not accept her as your service advisor, immediately ask for someone else. Because then you will have to deal with her every time and she could care less about you or her job. My boyfriend took tons of pictures of the engine (a few attached) and she said she was going to send them to the service manager but he was on medical leave. Basically telling us there was nothing she could do for us. Anyway, she wouldn't help us so my boyfriend is like "we're going across the street and talking to the main manager." I thought that they were separate, but turns out, the manager at the showroom is the manager for this whole location. Ali was so nice, really listened to us and was sympathetic to our story. He apologized and said he would talk to the techs to get their side of the story and if he could, he would issue a refund. (He did end up sending a check refunding the misdiagnoses. Thank you, Ali.) So basically Ali got this review 4 stars instead of 1 because he resolved my issues... but the problems are many at this location so be wary and I would say avoid if you can. At least until they can improve the service tech procedures and give Amanda some customer service training.

Took my $500 deposit for a specific car to be reserved on a trade. Called them the next day a few times to confirm the deal was still on, no calls back or communication for a full day afterwards. They sold the car to someone else during that time. Out a car and a deposit now, can't say I can recommend this place. Update 2/26/2023: I've been trying to contact the sales rep since the 20th to arrange someone from finance to call me back to rescind the charge. Called the sales department again today to speak to finance, no answer on the phone. I've disputed the charge with my bank to get it revoked, hopefully it will be removed from my credit card sometime within the next 90 days. Thanks, Bakersfield Mazda!

01/13/2018: the service department was way over booked and so slow. I had an appointment too. I know people leave bad reviews but i still love Mazda. I had questions about getting my car detailed and they were so helpful, even in the midst of the business. read more

horrible servie experience!!!!!!!! barely got my car in may and went to get some problems fixed with it today! the car doesnt want to start sometimes and a tire has been going flat since i walked out the carlot with the car. the saleman saw the light and said to come back to service because they were gone for the day! and i did!!! it kept happening over and over finally today they figured there's a nail in it which wasnt my fault because the tire had issues the moment i took it so it was on them to replace!!! the lady amanda david was the one helping me and she was incredibly unhelpful! her attitude was complete trash. i had to figure out that the reason it wasnt turning on was because of the stop light switch which is a recall with nissan so ok that was that. they did not want to replace the tire even though it was how they sold it to me!!! thanks ryan for not taking care of that. also they tried to charge me 145 for just looking at the damn thing!!! my father had dropped it off for me in the morning because i work long grueling hours at the hospital and was at work for the time they gave me my appointment! so alllllllllll day they had it sitting till i finally could get there around 3pm and they hadnt done a dang thing with it but wanted me to pay 145 for it or i cannot take it home!!!! i made amanda attempt to get the manager but she went outside on her phone. when she finally came back she started printing papers didnt say one word to me and handed me a paper with a highlight. to sign i assumed. i asked her ummmm can i get details on what is going on. she said i could take my car home and she will waive the fee. i said well thanks for letting me know wow. i had to ask her to speak. like a dog. when i walked away my dad was still standing there and he seen her physically give me the ugliest dirtiest look possible till i walked out the door. not that, that was hard for her to do. when i get home i noticied they freaking changed my tire to the donut spare!!!!!!!! i had no idea i drove over 30 miles home on it. then i look in my trunk and my original tire is gone and the rim is in there!! i did not consent to any of that!!!!!!! and they should have gave me my tire!!!!! amanda failed to even tell me because she didnt say a dang word to me when she was helping me!!!!! horrible!!!!! now im home with a horrible situation of no tire but the spare!!!! and i drive 30 miles per trip back and forth between work and home almost everyday!!!!! trying to call them and get them on the phone is impossible and they dont wanna do a dang thing about it. my father did contact ali but now he is not answering to our new problem!!!! the damn spare! i need a tired to damn day!!! not yesterday!!!! they had my car all day and didnt do a dang thing with it except f me over. and in the paperwork that horrible employee in service department amanda gave me she put i declined a new tire!!!!!!!!thats a lie!!!!!! what a lying horrible human being!!!! i dont know how she sleeps at night!!! disgusting behavior. thanks for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for selling me a dud!!!!!! this is not over i promise you that!!!! read more

I'll sum this up by saying we drove 2.5 hours to Victorville Mazda and saved thousands. The guys at Bakersfield Mazda are extremely unprofessional, and unwilling to negotiate. We were ready to make a deal on the spot, but I guess they didn't need the sale, or thought we would play their games. Not. If you want to get ripped off go here and ask for Noe. He will call you "rude" for wanting anything less than MSRP. His manager should be ashamed. If you do in fact want a Mazda call Victorville and ask for Nick. read more

I usually don't waste my time doing reviews, but today after pondering what happen to my grandmother last month, I feel compelled to share the experience. Recently my 64 year old grandmother attempted to buy out her lease at Bakersfield Mazda. The entire process was deceitful and an attempt to swindle an elderly woman. After we entered the showroom area, sales floor manager Eddie S tried to tell my grandmother that she would have to pay for a $3500 reconditioning service and that this was company policy per Mazda. I immediately informed my grandmother that this fee was not included in the original documentation that she signed 3 years ago. The credit profile was then presented to us by the lead sales person Robert. Robert then stated congratulations, you are approved for financing by Mazda Financial. Your interest rate is 7.95% for 60 mos or 8.95% for 72 mos. We immediately pushed back and I told my grandmother that your 744 FICO score warrants a better interest rate than this. In response to our displeasure over their attempt to take advantage of my grandmother, the other sales manager on duty Edger A suggested that my grandmother purchase a new vehicle instead. This suggestion made no sense at all since the current vehicle only had 18,000 miles on it. Even more shocking was the $8,000 mark up over the MSRP on the window sticker. We rejected their offer to purchase a new vehicle and insisted on keeping the current Mazda that was being driven. Both managers attempted to convince us that the $3500 reconditioning fee was part of the lease buy out process, we refused again. I advised my grandmother that this fee was an attempt to defraud her. The management team of Eddie and Edgar once again attempted to convince us that this fee was part of the Mazda dealerships reconditioning program, we declined once again. The sales person Robert came back to the table again after talking with Eddie and Edgar in their seedy office. We were presented with another proposal with the recon fees again at $3000 plus another service add on called Kar Guard. The sales pitch was a blatant smoke and mirrors attempt to trick my grandmother into agreeing to this ridiculous proposal. I consulted with my grandmother and told her not to take either of these quotes to heart. The sales manager Eddie then told my grandmother if she didn't purchase the recon fees and Kar Guard then she would have to go to Chase Bank and buy out her lease their instead, which she did. The loan officer at Chase Bank said that she never heard of such fees being added to a lease buy out before. The terms of the lease buy out at Chase were 48 mos at 4.98%. I would strongly recommend that if you are considering buying or leasing a new Mazda vehicle to purchase elsewhere. Bakersfield Mazda did not have my families best interest at heart. Shame on you... read more

I went into Bakersfield Mazda because my Mercury Mountaineer was falling apart, and rely on it for all the driving I do for my job. The team at Bakersfield Mazda reached out to me because I filled out an application online. I figured I'd return the call because at this point I could use all the help I could get. I spoke with Adam and he gathered some info on the type of vehicle I wanted so he could search their expansive inventory and get back to me. About an hour later Adam calls me and tells me he found the truck I was looking for and it was in my price range. I was really nervous about going in because not only did I really need a car for my job, but my credit is poor and it's something I'm still working on improving, so bad time to have to finance a vehicle. I go in and the truck he found me checked all the boxes, was fun to drive, I really thought he found me exactly what I needed. So the nerve-racking part the financing. Adam assured me the whole way through that everything would be ok and that he would he would make sure something worked out for me. I felt like Adam really empathized with my situation and worked non stop to find a good match with my lending needs and finding a deal that worked. The entire team at Bakersfield Mazda from Adam, to his sales manager Mario, to the financing guy Tim everyone pulled out all the stops to make sure they got me the right deal that fit my budget, my credit circumstances, and assured me it would all work out. Everything came together great and I did walk out of there with the truck I needed and the deal I needed. I can't believe how hard everyone worked for me. I really felt like the only customer there. I can't say enough how thankful I am for Adam, Mario, and Tim for going to bat for me when I really desperately needed help replacing my old vehicle. I highly recommend this team to anyone that is thinking of buying new or used. If there is a way the team at Bakersfield Mazda will find it, and be there for you to guide you through all the steps. Thank you so much guys. I love my new truck, I totally didn't think it was possible to get such a good deal in my situation, and I'll definitely be back on the next one. read more

The 1st word that comes to mind is CRIMINALS!!!! I took my car in for a simple oil change and they stated i had a couple of issues. First there was a nail in my tire (which the repair price was ridiculous) and next they said i had a leak from a part that doesn't even exist on my particular car. The total was going to close to 400.00. When i asked to see the nail they said they couldn't show me where they said they moved the car and must be at the bottom of the tire. : So i said i had to wait and first took my car to the tire shop where i purchased them. They rotated the tire and found a piece of glass wedged in the tread and just popped it out. Next i went to reputable mechanic who did confirmed that there was not a leak and the part of which they spoke of truly did not exist on my particular vehicle. Unless you have money to burn on nothing i would strongly suggest avoiding this Service department at all cost. If allowed i would of given negative stars. read more

Do yourself a favor and head to another dealership in Santa Clarita or LA if you want a Mazda. Love my Mazda but would not go through the pain of dealing with the sales people and manager here. Very unprofessional and rude. read more

I didn't like this place one bit. I had an appointment to view a specific CX-5, which I booked online. When I got there, it was being detailed in the back, so I had to test drive another vehicle. Unfortunately, I got stuck with Mario, who is sexist. I was the one buying the car, using my own money from my job; however, Mario kept asking about my husband - where does he work, how much money he made, etc. I had to tell him that it was my money, my job, my car! I then gave them the key to my car so that they could evaluate it as a trade-in. That's when they started with the hard sell. They brought in the manager and, when I told him that I was looking for something with more power - a V-6 - he actually told me that there was no difference between a 4 cylinder and a 6 cylinder engine! We all know that's a lie. I immediately wanted to leave and asked for my key back. it seemed like they were holding it hostage because they just kept up trying to sell the car. I had to ask for my key several times before it was given back to me. To make matters worse, when they were examining my car for trade-in purposes, they went rifling through my glove box and took my registration! They called me at the end of the day to say that they had "accidentally" taken it and expected me to go back and get it. (was this a tactic to get me back there?) Mario finally agreed to bring it to my work the next day (as I drove to work the next morning, was paranoid about being pulled over by the cops and not having my car registration). I told Mario to never contact me again. read more

I bought my last Mazda there a few years ago and was treated good. My husband and I went last Sunday to show my husband the CX-5. A salesman comes out and asks us if we'd like to take it for a drive. So we did, my husband drove, while I asked the salesman questions about the vehicle and the difference between the sport, touring and grand touring. He didn't have a clue. All he could tell me was to read the sticker on the window. Are you serious? A salesman that knows nothing about what he's selling. Is soon as we got back to the dealership, he immediately tries to get us inside to buy it. I am so disappointed in this dealership. read more

By far the worst service department ever! Cory Felix is rude, unprofessional and no help at all. (and he's calls himself the ASST. MGR) Being a Service Advisor myself in the past, I can't believe how they handle their customers issues. How do you check a brake issue without test driving it?? Especially when the customer describes the issue. I regret getting a car from this location, been hell since day ONE! LET THE COUNT DOWN BEGIN TO END THIS LEASE!! read more

I had a surprisingly great experience purchasing my car this week. Mario assisted me and ordered my car for the next day delivery. He was very nice, professional, and quick to answer any of my questions. He also set my phone up for blue tooth for me and went through every detail of the vehicle accessories. He made the experience great where as I had a horrible experience here a few years ago with one particular person. I also wanted to point out that Omar assisted me on the finance portion and he was great too. He was knowledgeable and such a great attitude. These people were nice to work with so if you go there let Mario assist with the purchase and Omar with your finance and you will have a hassle free experience. Thanks guys!! read more

Ok, ok... it turned out the letter was a mistake. Well, Kind of. Turns out they send these notices to EVERYONE after a week of having the car. Glad it didn't turn out to be a scam, but still annoyed I had to waste time driving to the dealership, being upset, and having everything explained to me again. There were other people upset about the same thing when I arrived and it was a false alarm for them as well. This is not a helpful way to do business. My advice to the dealer: stop sending out these letters! They freak people out! read more

B.E.W.A.R.E. After seeing a car online I was interested in, I called the dealership, ended up with a very fair offer, and gave them my information for the credit report. When the salesman called the next day, he said my credit score was lower than I had said, and that the monthly payments had gone up dramatically. I asked what my score was (it was high 700's 4 months prior) and the salesman said he didn't have my papers with him and he didn't know what it was. Interestingly, the next day at a different dealership, my credit score was indeed high 700's. Needless to say, I did not purchase the car at Bakersfield Mazda. I could say more about my overall experience with them, but THIS LIE is most important for people to know. read more

I don't recommend it, Mitsubishi is under the same owner, you're better off going across the street and dealing with them, they are patient, and willing to do what they can, they don't push you into a vehicle you don't want as well, stay away from Mario, had me there for 6 hours this past Tuesday, horrible service, rude and just a plain prick. read more

We went on Sunday to buy a car. They are giving my son the runaround on approval. This is terrible service by the sales man. Its either yes or no. Bakersfield Dealerships are a joke. That is why I buy my cars in LA or up north. They get straight to the point with no bull crap!!!! read more

If I could rate them no stars I totally would! I went to Mazda to lease my first car! They gave me a deal with a discount on car without knowing if I'd be approved or not. A week later they told me to come back to re evaluate my deal. I was waiting at the dealer to re-evaluate my deal for 4 hours of constant back & forth. They told me that they would call me to come back again, they NEVER called me back & they never even gave me my contract when I leased the car to begin with! Finally I went back & I confronted them about the car. They were rude to me the entire time! If you want a Mazda I wouldn't even spend my time here, you're better off going to Valencia. read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. The staff here is horrible. From Robert the salesman all the way up to his manager Mark. There unprofessional, they don't return any of your phone calls. I was told I'll call you back in10 mins we're on the phone with the bank right now. Didn't hear from them till the next day and I had to call multiple times. The first day I was there for 6 hours and didn't accomplish anything. Was one of the worst car buying experiences I've ever had to deal with. read more

Terrible customer service. The car buying process was OK because I had done my research. It was what came after that was horrible. Didn't receive first car statement until AFTER it was due. Luckily, I went to the bank and had them pull up my loan to pay there before it was late. Was not contacted from Mazda to advise me I had to do that for first payment. Called them 5 days before my payment was due to see if there was an issue but never received a call back from finance guy. Called again 3 days before it was due- no response to voicemail. I also contacted them regarding my license plates- which I did not receive until about 3 months after buying my car. Never got a call back. Unfortunately, I also purchased the car maintenance plan from them. Went to get my first oil change at 5k miles. Left my car there and got a ride elsewhere while they worked on it. Received a call stating my car was ready for pick up so I went to dealer to pick up. My car was no where in sight and the lady at the cashier said she could not reach anyone in the services department. Ended up waiting an additional 30 minutes for my car. Overall, rude and non responsive. I can't wait for the maintenance program to expire. read more

The service department is an absolute joke. I took my 2015 Mazda 3 in for an oil change. They ran diagnostics on my car while having it for the oil change. I received my car and a couple days later, the check engine, tire traction & tire pressure light all came on. My car was re starting while I was driving and if I came to a stop, I had zero acceleration. I returned my car on Monday and explained what was going on and it's obviously something they did while they had my car. They denied any wrong doing. I was then told I need a new part, and they would have it at 8AM the next day. I have yet to hear from anyone and it is now 12:30. I called and the guy on the phone couldn't find any information on my car. Zero communication. Horrible customer service. Absolutely regretting buying my car because of what I have to deal with at the service department. I will NEVER bring my car to them again. read more

I helped my 22 year old son negotiate the purchase for his first new car a 2016 Mazda CX5. I have bought many cars and this was one of the best experiences. Our salesman Anthony Cueto was a gentleman through entire process. He gave my son a loaner car to take back to San Luis until his vehicle could be delivered. Anthony delivered the new car to my son on the Central Coast. Very professional and we are Happy! Anthony, now make me a great deal on a CX9 signature series! Laura Harmon read more

I am still disappointed in my financing experience here. But after expressing my concerns the dealership has been very fair about things like service and customer care. Especially my salesman Mario Salas. He felt so bad about my situation he took his own time to check on me and my car several times over the last year and really took care of us during our lease. After this amount of customer service I have decided to give them my business. It is very hard to find people especially car dealers that will go out of their way especially after the deal is done. read more

Warning. If you want to be barried in a vehicle go right here. My mom went in because they called her 9 months before her mazda 6 lease was up. They wanted to place her in a mazda 3. She called me and they financed her over 30,000.00 on a 20,000 purchase. They rolled that remaining amount over with a 84 month purchase. I told her why she didnt call me? They took advantage of an older woman and saw her coming. They could have waited until the lease was up but they wanted to meet the unit goal for the month i guess. read more

As of right now... Not a good experience... I'll keep you updated. Customer service is everything and very important. I traded in my car about a month and few days ago and they have still not paid off my old loan. According to them the "overnighted check" if that was the case the old bank would not be blowing up my phone. As of now they left a very bad taste in my mouth.... Lets see how this plays out. read more

I purchased a Cx5 from Bakersfield Mazda 3 years ago and similar experiences as some the negative reviews listed here. However I just went back to trade in the CX 5 for a CX9 and can honestly say it was a much better experience. Most of the staff from three years ago had changed and the new folks were very helpful. I am not saying there were not some issues but the way they resolved them were totally different. First our sales person was Paul Lopez. Paul was great to work with. The first car we wanted turned out to be a bit more than we were willing to pay but Paul kept working with us and foung one very similar that worked. We had the usual hand off to sales manager and then GM but we got it worked out. We did have a few issues after we got home with the car and called Paul. He had us come back the next day and talk with Ali the General Manager and all of us looked at what needed to be done together and came up with a plan. Turns out that even though I was a bit untrusting they came through for us. Ali even went above and beyond to make we were satisfied and checked everything out on the car personally. I do have trouble trusting car dealers but I believe they are doing everything the can to change their image. I would have no problem purchasing another car there. read more

Good help with selecting my new CX-5. Disorganized and some delays during the actual appointment to pick up the vehicle. Happy with the vehicle and the deal, but they need to tighten up their act some. Will be taking my vehicle to a different dealership for any servicing needs in the future. read more

We purchased a Mazda CX-9 two years ago and we really like it. We also purchased the Mazda Total Advantage Plan. As we've been doing the regularly scheduled maintenance, we've really had no complaints about the service. The staff has been friendly and helpful. The service time has been pretty much standard for a bigger dealership. The only complaint is that Mazda no longer offers the MTA for new purchases. So when we go in for service, there is a hiccup because we get questioned on how we still have the MTA yet they don't offer it. Then they aren't quite sure how to bill it. This is the only complaint we have and it's really a minor inconvenience. Certainly not enough for me to tell people to not purchase a car from this dealership. They are very friendly and helpful! read more

Let me tell you about our experience with a great customer service rep at Mazda. Paul Lopez. This man worked for us. After being turned down at 2 dealerships our credit isn't the best, but we have income. Paul went to work for us. Now I have to say it took some work on his part, and a lot of patience and yes we needed a cosigner. BUT he made sure my family got into a car that we could afford without over extending ourselves. We had certain parameters to be met. So he went to work with his manager and his finance manager and their team, and found a bank that would finance us. After their hard work we came in and drove home with our new car (well new to us). A 2013 Mazda CX-5. A we are in love. I never thought much about Mazda, but once Paul told us what would be in our price range, I did some research on this vehicle. The big plug was from Car & Driver Magazine online, they really raved about this car. And after 1 day having it, I can't believe this is a small SUV. Because it drives like a little sports car, with lots of great creature comforts, great gas mileage, and some serious torque and HP for a little in-line 4. So if you are in the Market for a New or Used car, consider a Mazda, and ask for Paul Lopez. You will never meet a more friendly, straight forward guy. He won't just sell you a car, he'll take care of you and your family. Thanks Paul & the Bakersfield Mazda Team. You have made a customer for life. read more

If I could rate this a NEGATIVE 1000000 I would! My husband and I have been interested in getting a CX-5 for about a year now. We have been in & out waiting for the best deal for exactly what I wanted. We finally had everything going for us with a great deal & car; so we purchased the car. We signed the "bank approved" paper work with LUCKY, gave him my deposit & drove the car home. I came back a few days later to get the windows tinted; to which they did, I got the car back & went home. At the end of the first month I wanted to make my car payment; and couldn't; so I called the dealership, spoke to Luck wondering what to do & ask where my tags were at also; because I still haven't got those either. Lucky told me he were still working the deal with the bank- even though to my knowledge we signed a deal, I gave him my deposit & the car was mine? He insisted the car WAS mine & I would be able to make the payment soon; and my tags were on their way. Long story short; THREE months go by; no payments were ever made literally over 50 calls back and forth; nothing ever resolved but they INSISTED that they were "doing all they could" to get us worked out with the bank... We decided to go in & see these scum bags in person to demand answers (because I wasn't going to pay for a brand new car at this point when the car is now considered used & racking up the miles- made by me or not; the equity value isn't there today like it was three months prior). They contracted a new deal for us that was WORSE then the original deal- AND wanted another 2k down because payments weren't made for 3 months; so for the bank to honor this new & worse deal; these were the stipulations!! I told Lucky that the dealership needed to eat the last 3mo of past payments due to the fact this was their fuck up- and I KNEW that the bank would ask for this because like I said; the car isn't "new" now and the equity wasn't there! The owner of the dealership was RUDE; literally saw us & didn't bother to speak to us about the situation- no apology, no nothing! Some "quality service" MY ASS. So I gave them the keys back and demanded my down payment be refunded to me. They said they WOULD "unwind" the car for us and give me back my full deposit. Only- they "had no proof of my down payment" in their books... so it SOUNDS LIKE TO ME that Lucky took my deposit & pocketed it! I pulled out all the "original deal" paper work we signed back three months ago; with my receipt stapled to my paperwork for my all cash deposit. They STILL tried to withhold my deposit & I threaten to call my lawyer; that's when they gave me my check. Where was Lucky or the owner in this? NOWHERE! They handed us off to other car salesmen who knew NOTHING about our situation. Long story short these people never submitted our deal to the bank; took my money & freaked out for three months trying to scramble around to make the original deal work with the bank; which the bank wouldn't honor- so the bank then approved a different WORSE deal; to which they hid from us- because they NEVER let us in on what was happening behind closed doors- wasting everyone's time. THEIR LOSS; they had to resell a brand new 2018 Cx-5 as a used car with 3.5k miles on it -& we got to use the car for free for 3mo. But it's still OUR loss; because we had our credit ran 7274638 times; and my family had to go back to sharing one car. All I have to say is THANK THE UNIVERSE we never got trapped into buying this JUNKY CAR! After driving it for just the few months I had it; by the 75th day the steering wheel started to shake; the car would stall when hitting the gas & there was a strange noise coming from the AC. I would have been PISSED to own this car in the long haul, we can tell it would need CONSTANT repairs; so good riddance- cheap IS cheap. Taking my $ to BMW to purchase (our now) second car from them; quality cars & service! It seems unless you pay for premium- you won't get it. SAVE YOURSELVES THE AGONY!!! This Mazda dealer owner also owns Infinity & one other dealership; this man should be put in prison! Scamming customers with bad bank deals; taking customers deposits with no reporting or documenting- this has FRAUD written all over it! They need to be investigated! read more

This place gives you a good deal on a new car but other than that I can't say much of anything else is good about it. They do answer their calls at reception but you never get connected to an actual person and at this point I am at hour 5 of no return on a message I left. I will not buy from Bakersfield Mazda again and will not recommend it. I also bought my new Mazda about 2 months ago and just got a notice from the dmv stating that I need to providing insurance for the car I trading into them. They failed to assume liability for the trade in vehicle that has been sitting at the lot for 2 months. Not sure what happened there because well can't get ahold of anyone. Update- seems as though Mazda has made some major staffing changes. I feel as though that answer the phone and are able to connect you quickly to the department your trying to reach. Also customer service is up, it no longer feels like your inconveniencing the staff asking them simple questions they seem more than willing to help. read more

I was at Mazda Bakersfield last week. If I could I wouldn't gave them even 1 star for their sell service. I always loved Mazda. I went there for Mazda CX5. I have a car now, which the same condition even higher mileage Car Max selling for $9k in their site. So, I came to Mazda to see if they can give me at least $6k trade in. They start with $1700 for my car, what is very crazy low. I told them I'm not going to trade my car less than $6000. They started raised the price for my car. $2000, $3000, $4000... and the end they said ok, deal $6000. They gave me good deal offer for new car. Everything what I wanted. First guy, his name Mark, with who I started talking, was very nice. He answer all questions and was very helpful. But when he brought other guy (older one, I don't remember his name), I think it was manager, he was more pushing. So, anyway he was giving me deal I like. I started looking for cars. I liked one, but it had more options I needed, and it was more expensive. I wanted basic car, which started with $24 k price. They didn't have a red color car (I liked it so much) so asked them if they can bring it from other Mazda dealer. They said no problem. That moment another guy (I think he is higher position than others) started looking online cars they have. They already congratulated me with deal, and they were so happy. While I was waiting (by the way I spent there almost 3 hours), I started asking questions. People, ALWAYS ask questions before sign anything. I repeated all numbers, and they said yes. My last one was, "So, to be sure, I'm getting care with basic options for $14k?" That head manager was, " Yes, basic, but for $28k." He started to tell me that it is so cool deal, and blab la bla... Basically, he tried to sell me basic car, which cost in Mazda official site $24k for $28k... It meant he was buying my car just for $2k.. I started shows him numbers, what made him very aggressive and mad. He told me, "You know, I cannot give you for your car $6k." Why then you lie and told me let's make a deal?? They made me feel like I'm stupid... I'm sure many people would accept it, and find out later, that they overpay. I was so disappointed. I spent so much time there. He was pushing so hard that it is such good deal, and it is so hard to sell car. Now, I have a buyer for my car, who ready to pay $6800. After that situation, I will never back to Mazda Bakersfield to buy a car. Even if I still decide to by Mazda I will go to LA or somewhere else. Worst sell service. How can you make your customers feel that we are stupid? So disrespectful. read more

Highly recommend! I had a small issue and the general manager, Ali, went above and beyond to correct it. The service I received is outstanding and I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone, especially with the customer service provided by the general manager. I most definitely would recommend shopping at Bakersfield Mazda! read more

I recently purchased a Mazda 6 and really love to drive it. It is a great car and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a mid size sedan. The sales staff was very knowledgable and helpful with assisting me in purchasing the car. I was qualified in no time and drove the vehicle home the same day. I always take it to their service department for routine maintenance. They are quick, in-expensive, and efficient. The customer service I recieve is excellent! I enjoyed my experience so much that I went back and leased another Mazda 6 for my daughter. read more

Decietful. Lied about getting us into cars, and their rebates as evidenced by their website. Was coming back for a specific car, they said it had been sold, I'm reading reviews only to find out they do this often. Hearing horror stories from friends about their "leasing" program. Avoid them like the plague. The manager and individual sales representatives are pushy and liars. read more

This young kid salesman Martin did a very good job convincing me to lease a Mazda 3 for my daughter. He was very respectful and didn't pressure me to make a quick decision. I got a deal that was close to what daughter needed. Also his manager Gene was very professional and friendly. My experience on this evening was so good that I also got another Mazda 3 hatchback for my son. Took two mazdas 3 on this night. I also want to mention the finance manager Lucky, this cat also was very professional and has mom and pop stories. Thanks to these three gents for my awesome experience. Oh wait, two weeks later I took my sister and Martin and Gene helped her to get another Mazda 3. They were ready to go home but these gents stayed over two to three hours on a Sunday night to make a sale but the way I see it is that they put a BIG smile on my daughter and son, I know you gents made their day. Thank you guys. Martin, keep working to help customers just like you helped us. read more

I have been shopping for a car for a long time, and I don't exactly have the best credit in the world. That being said I have definitely done my homework and researched my options. I went to a couple different dealerships and that's when I landed at Mazda and I was feeling pretty determined at this point. I had my eye on the 2014 Mazda6 sedan its a beautiful car, so I walked on the lot with my game face on as I know how this works. I spoke to a smart salesman and we test drove the one I wanted in a shiny candy apple red color. I knew it was over as soon as I sat in the car, things moved very fast from there. I was in and out of Finance and I put down a nice chunk of money, due to my credit. The customer service was excellent, the salesman showed me all the features and how to use them and I was on my way to break in my new ride YAY!! read more

My experience buying a Mazda 3 at the Bakersfield Mazda was great. The sales people and managers were so easy going, not pushy or intimidating. They made things so easy for me to buy the car I wanted without any hassles or bartering. They actually worked with me to every aspect I needed to buy my car without any pressure. The extras they built into my contract, along with the excellent customer service was the best experience I have ever had buying a new car. This is why I gave them the highest rating possible. I recommend the Bakersfield Mazda to anyone wanting to buy a new car without any hassles, long waiting, or the back and forth nonsense. You won't find any of that there, only professionalism and the highest customer service you will ever experience. I know I did. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Bakersfield Mazda. read more

So I just bought a car from Gene. I remember his friendly face as he was first walking up to me I was so nervous and he automatically made me feel comfortable! This is my first car in my name I had a list of things I wanted and a list I did not want. He sat and listened to everything I said gave me great advice on how to better my credit on top of it. (Man knows his stuff and he cares) I would refer ANYONE to him and I thank him for helping me get the perfect car!! So in love with it!! When my car was sent over to service to get all dolled up I then got to meet Cory!! Cory was sweet, patient, and made sure everything on the list was complete. He also took out the carseat for me and placed it in the loaner I was given while car was being serviced.. All smiles with these guys thank you so much!!!! read more

I'm thrilled with my "new" Mazda CX-5!!! ...and it performed beautifully on the 9-day road trip I went on shortly after purchase, earning rave reviews from all passengers. I appreciated Mark Juarez's time and patience over the course of several weeks, as I test drove various prospects and discussed buying options. Once I found the car I wanted, Mark introduced me to GM Ali Kargaran who personally put the deal together and made me an outstanding offer. He put my financial needs first and helped me to get everything I was looking for in my next purchase. Then, Lucky Singh took over and efficiently made signing volumes of paperwork a pleasure. I love these guys and look forward to being a loyal customer of Bakersfield Mazda. read more

I have had to bring my truck (1999 Mazda) in several times in the past few years for problems both large and small. No matter how severe the problem or how often I check on their progress the Service Department is always polite and does everything in their power to answer any questions I may have regarding the problem or the work they are doing to fix what is wrong. They also are willing to answer questions asked by other people (family members) who I have brought in. Most of my visits to Mazda have been with Cory Felix and as such he is my preferred choice for dealing with a Service Consultant, however I have also had positive dealings with Aldo Gacia-Gonzales the one time Cory Felix was unable to assist me. read more

If I could give them a minus I would. Don't even bother with this place. I called 3 different times and could never get anyone in service to answer. Even left a CM on the service manager's office phone++never got a call back. The 3rd time the girl that answers the phone at the dealership offered to have a manager call me and again nothing! They kept wanting to make me an appt. but I wasn't even sure I needed an appt. would never take my car there or recommend them. Turned around and called Antelope Mazda, immediately spoke with someone and got my car in and quickly resolved the problem. Would highly recommend them!! read more

I was denied at almost all the dealerships, so I was going to walk home, I had no car, one of the dealers (Sigifredo) at Mazda stopped me and called me over I was already convinced it was a waste of time. But he was so kind, understanding and VERY helpful... He promised I wouldn't have to walk back home and he would sell me a car, Within no time Mario Salas (Manager) gave me a great deal on car I never thought I could afford. Everyone was kind and friendly. I WOULD DEFINITELY BUY FROM THEM AGAIN AND SUGGEST THIS DEALERSHIP TO ANYONE. read more

This place is sketchy and shady...not to mention ain't a single female on staff. By the looks of these reviews so glad my gf decided she wanted a Sonata instead. She hated the experience we had here. I did too...swing how uncomfortable she was. The dudes running this place clearly missed the memo about everything from diversity and inclusion and customer service. I wouldn't buy a car here if it were the last lot in town. This ain't it bro. Can't stand places like this. Outdated as a MF. Gtfoh. read more

Excellent service! I pulled onto the lot and within a minute I was approached by a salesman named Tim Oats. Great guy, didn't pressure me, let me see any car I wanted and knew his facts. I'll definitely send friends and family to him. Anyways, all in all it was a great car buying experience, which I had been putting off because I don't like the pressure from sales personnel. Great dealership. Clean, friendly, and prompt. read more

Like another review says , internet manager / salesman Robert is a scammer and a thief . If your not prepared with a calculator and a strong will your going to get robbed . Stay away from Bakersfield Mazda ! I have no idea how they have more then 2 stars anywhere unless it's people who are ignorant to car sales or the dealership buffering it's crappy reviews . Just skip that dealership and you'll thank yourself later . read more

My wife and I came here looking at the Mazda 3. We're glad we came here first. Amazing customer service. They went above and beyond to get us into a car that we loved at a payment that we can afford. Everyone here was really nice and helpful from the moment we stepped out of the car. We felt like we were being treated like family. We will defiantly be coming back here for our next car. read more
