I was in need of a car because my 2006 BMW was running down with its 240k miles. I needed a car that would live up to everything I was use to . I knew I wanted a SUV to invest in because I didn't want to have to change cars when it came time to start my family within the next couple of years. So my focus was safety and sexy. I only really saw Audi, Mercedes and Lexus SUV that lived up to the sexy side. Until my husband mention Mazda and when I saw the picture of a CX-5 , I was so excited because they price was right and it had sexy and safety. We came to this dealership and test drove the CX5 sport with AJ, who was kind, knowledgeable and not too pushy. I was in love with everything about it. But as everyone knows you don't just buy the first wedding dress you try on when you have others in mind , so I went to go test drive the Mercedes GLA. The car was just as beautiful, and just as spacious and just as safe and smooth driving to me as the CX-5. The only difference was Mercedes wanted me to pay more for their "name" and all the specialty extra gadgets that came with the car. I didn't need nor want those extra gadgets and I honestly didn't need that name. After driving the Mercedes I was only able to think of the Mazda CX-5 and knew that that was the car I wanted and needed. My husband and I went in the following day just to get the prices so we can price around and Everette welcomed us in. He set us up with the numbers guy named Ken. Both Everette and Ken were pleasant, efficient and patient. They both helped us figure out the best price within our budget and still managed to give me everything I wanted and then some so we were hooked. I would absolutely suggest my family and friends to come here when they need a car. The signing of papers is not the most fun part but Steven managed to make it smooth and helped us understand anything that we were not clear on. We signed up for the maintenance and warranty packages and I know great service will continue for the next several years to come. We finished the deal and I'm now, a happy owner of a CX-5 white Touring Preferred SUV and I couldn't be more in love. So in love that I created a video. Thank you Mazda and everyone who went on this journey with me. Video is on.... IG: @riabdz Facebook: Ria Bermudez Twitter: riabdez read more

This place is a JOKE. I purchased a vehicle making it as easy as possible for them and was like pulling teeth. Purchased on valentines for wife and still trying to get the due bill completed.. Tried calling again today and some female whispering like she just woke up and it was a bother claiming she was in the service department. I asked a simple screw in tire question and she says let me get too to my service advisor and transfers me to voice mail.... I called and asked for general mgr and again straight to VM!!! DO NOT LET THEM FORCE NITRO IN THE TIRES! IF THEY TELL YOU ITS ALREADY IN TELL THEM TO TAKE IT OUT. Normal repair $12-$20. average $15.00. Nitrogen filled tires $36-$60 They wont pick up their phones!! read more

Huge shout-out to Hugo! He didn't try to sell my services my car didn't need and took the time to show me how to check my tire pressure correctly for my car. I will be back and will ask for Hugo! read more

Beware dealerships that offer "free" perks as enticements to purchase; you usually get exactly what you pay for - NOTHING! Case in point - I bought a new 2018 Maxda 3 here, even though it's quite a ways from where I live in OC because the price was right. One of the "free" perks the dealership made a point of telling me about when I picked up my new car was a completely free first new car service appointment - they even threw in the oil change! When the time came for me to have the work done, I made an appointment and they got the work done (so they said) in just under two hours. The receipt they gave me said the 5,000 mile service included the usual adjustments, as well as a tire rotation and an oil change. Several months later, one of those completely unintelligible Mazda idiot lights lit up on my dashboard; it looked like a tiny monkey wrench. I Googled it, and then called the service department. The service advisor confirmed that my car thought it was time to have another service appointment, even though it had been less than two thousand miles since the last one! Long story short - The service advisor suggested that I bring the car back in to have the light reset. I asked why they hadn't done it the first time around, and he couldn't tell me. I also asked why they hadn't rotated the tires (like it said they had on the receipt). He said their records indicated the tires had been rotated - I knew they hadn't been, because I checked them after reading about what that idiot light meant. Before I brought my car in for that service appointment, there was a very noticeable ding on my right front tire rim where it had hit a curb. When I went back to check it after I started to suspect that corners had been cut during my "service" appointment, I saw that very same ding on that very same tire rim. If they had actually rotated the tires like the claimed, the rim with the ding would have moved... Bottom line: They lied about rotating my tires (it never happened) and they didn't reset the "needs service" idiot light, which is triggered by the number of miles driven. What else didn't they do when they allegedly serviced my car for "free"? If you can't trust a service center to do the work they claim to have done, you have no business taking your care there. I've learned my lesson, and will never return to this dealership! read more

AJ and rest of the staff were super friendly and easy to work with. Providing Starbucks, In N Out, birthday cake surprise for my sister after the purchase, meaning they didn't have to do this. Good deal, staff and customer service. Definitely the Mazda dealership to choose. Thank you read more

CardinaleWay Mazda - Corona - Birthday cake surprise for my sister after a purchase - Car Dealers Near Me - Corona, California

If I could take stars away from their rating I would. They only get one because I have to. Well our car purchasing experience was great. We knew exactly what we wanted, got a fair deal on the trade in to an upgraded model, however as we were completing the paperwork there was an error on the DMV title and registration forms. The gentleman from finance assured us he would correct it. This is exactly where their attentiveness and customer service ended...once they got our money. The purchase occurred at the beginning of August and in the following days I had concerns regarding the DMV registration and called to verify that it had been corrected. Of course the guy from finance's number went to a voice mail that was full (and still is months later) and after calling and getting full voice mail notifications from their general finance department several times a "finance manger" finally answered one day. After being dismissive and trying to blow me off that there could not possibly be an error I asked if there was somewhere I could check to verify it was correctly filed. He then conceded that he would do it and call me back. Nothing...no phone call back. A couple of weeks later after continuing to wait I spent another several hours calling and getting full voice mails before finally talking to the original finance guy who must have accidently answered the general finance line and assured me that the DMV paper work was taken care and filed correctly, but in subsequent calls and emails to him to verify he has been absolutely silent without a single response to myself or my wife. Finally on Monday 11/18, just a couple of weeks before her temp expires, I finally get someone on the phone after trying for two days and getting full voice mails. It's another "finance manager" who gives me the same blow off and I point out that the address is incorrect on several pieces of paperwork which causes him to finally look at our file and respond with a promise to contact his DMV guys and then call me back right away. He gave me a long, bloated excuse and explanation dripping with empty promises. Nothing. Yesterday 11/21 I leave a voice mail with the general manager and still no response. I don't know how difficult it is for these people to get their act together and to either verify the information was filed correctly or to say no it wasn't and we are correcting our mistake. I have spent way too many hours on something that should have been cleared up with a simple phone call. It's not even about the mistake...mistakes happen, but it's really a bigger issue with how this dealership and their management approach customer service and self-accountability. It's quite a pathetic effort. If you are looking to buy a Mazda I would HIGHLY recommend looking elsewhere. As someone who has owned five different Mazdas with great dealership relationships over the years this place is a significant dent to the brand. These people only care about your money and their customer service ends the moment you sign that purchase agreement. Feel free to reach out to me if you care...at least four different people in your "organization" have my contact information. read more

This is the BEST car dealership experience I have ever had. Keep in mind I have purchased my share of vehicles in my 53 years. They are honest, professional, knowledgeable, transparent, hospitable, easygoing, and you don't feel pressure to buy. You can tell they all take pride in their work. You can genuinely tell they want you to love your new car. I want to thank: Lavel, Curtis, the young lady that helped me with my docs, and let's not forget the young lady that was kind enough to connect my android play. Thank you for so much!!!!! If you would like an amazing experience go to Cardinaleway Mazda to purchase your next car. I purchased a 2019 Mazda cx5 and I love it!!!! read more

We went and test drove a 2013 VW Tiguian. Our experience was not pleasant. We were all set to purchase the vehicle with Gonzalo sales representative for $9000 out the door.  As soon as we told him that we were not financing but were paying cash, his demeanor changed and he got up and got his manager. His manager came over and suddenly they could no longer do $9000 out the door but offered $9500 before taxes and fees. COMPLETELY different from what was offered to us. I will not be going back there. I will also be telling family, friends and coworkers not to visit Cardinalway Mazada if they want to be treated honestly read more

Bait and Switch at it's finest! Just like the other reviews, my friend was told one price on the phone but when we got there, somehow the price had gone up $2000 from add ons to the car that my friend was not told about. The manager we spoke to explained that one of the extra costs added onto the car (without approval) was a "paint protector" and it would cost an extra $750. He explained that since the coat protector was already on the car, they couldn't take it off and my friend would be charged for it. It was a complete joke. There was also a scratch on the driver's door of the brand new car we were looking at. Please listen to the other reviews and avoid this place at all costs. read more

The customer experience I had here can best be described as ROUGH (in bold and all caps). Long story short, I emailed this dealership on a specific used Mazda 6. An internet sales guy said it was available and set up an appointment to check out the car in person. Long story short, I drive over here and I was greeted by four different employees (on a Sunday afternoon) yet they "can't find the key" to the car I am supposed to test drive. This was red flag #1. Part of me started thinking "great the car was already sold and they lied just to get me in." The second red flag was when they finally did recover the key more than ten minutes later, an employee told me it was the "Promotional vehicle" that was also used as the GM's personal car. It definitely was a personal vehicle because it was dirty on the inside and the GM left a very personal item on the front seat! Ummmm shouldn't a promotional vehicle be cleaned out regularly? Not a good look Cardinale. The third and final red flag was the car that took forever to find the key for wasn't even the right trim!! I asked to see a "Grand Touring Reserve" but the car I was initially showed was a "Grand Touring." I was sitting inside the car when I noticed eveything on the inside looked amiss. The craziest part about this was, I was the one that noticed the trim was different (wrong), not the sales guy that was showing me the car!! I have been to rude dealerships before (see review of Kia of Alhambra) but I had never been to a car dealership that was so inept. read more

We bought a 2021 CX-3 a couple months ago from this dealership then had an issue do to squeaky brakes noise! We lived in Long Beach so we didn't bother to bring the car back to where we have purchased the vehicle from because it was a NEW CAR and i believe we can take it anywhere for service! So a couple of days we have the same issue so we made an appointment for today at 1pm and have to say that the services was super poor first we have the worst service advisor experience she said it would be a $60 for an inspection service and I sad what do you mean Miss (L) this car is brand new from this dealership then I have asked for the service manager then she said he/she wouldn't have time for us at any given time....... wow. So she finally have a technician inspect the vehicle for almost about 2HR and said everything was good BUT guess what! She took our car in without opening any RO# or Invoice for us at the time of the inspection. What happens if the technician took the car out for a test drive and crash we wouldn't have any proof. Please think twice bringing in your car for service at this Mazda dealership in CORONA. Thank you read more

Dealing with car dealership hasn't changed their old ways. Car buying has gotten more stressful. They would pressure you to get their pricey extended warranties. The finance manager would not take NO for an answer. This branch is the worst. You may have a better car buying experience in other branches. read more

For those who like to rely on recommendations from someone who is candid and thorough, I am that methodical guy. This post will help you if you want to buy a Mazda. We had a very positive experience with CardinaleWay Mazda (Corona), which contrasts greatly to other dealerships in the area. Here is why: * We were greeted when we walked into the showroom by the first name, even before we had a chance to introduce ourselves. They knew we were coming around that time. CardinaleWay put that to good use. When they saw a dad and college daughter walk in the showroom, they made our welcome personal. * I had details on model, trim, color, add-ons, accessories. Even warranties wanted. I am confirming all that was effortless. Very good pricing on the total purchase - ultimately better than other dealerships (and I shopped this well). * Our new Mazda 3 was detailed and ready to drive off. Excellent use of my time. The folks that made this a good experience for us were AJ (our salesperson), dealership manager Ken (who was a straight shooter during the entire transaction), and Steven Web (the finance guy with the Newsboy cap). My daughter is happy and excited about her new car. As a father, I appreciate the total experience. Thank you CardinaleWay. read more

We bought a car here. They called us for our first free oil change. We made the appointment for a Saturday and drove to the dealership only to find out they didn't order the parts and can't get them on Saturday. It would be so bad if we didn't live an hour away. They weren't rude but also didn't offer any solutions other making another appointment for the following Saturday.... um, no thanks. I don't trust you to not waste my time now. If I were them I would've drove to a neighboring dealership and got the oil filter. "I know they're all owned by the same company" it's not that hard. Instead I wasted my time and am writing a bad review read more

Honestly this place is great! Now only did we get a great deal for our Mazda but Jayson kept his word with everything he guaranteed. My wife and I bought a used Mazda-6 with only 25,100 miles at a great monthly price. Trust me, I work in sales and Jayson Corteeze set us up amazingly! Of course, they're needed to be some minor paint work on the bumper but Like I said, Jayson kept his word and got it all worked out for us. Today we're leaving this place a second time with huge smiles because we brought our car to get a fresh paint job. Hugo Novoa took lead on the project. Since we don't have a second car, Hugo gave us a 2022 CX-5 for a rental until our car was finished. All I can say is that I love the CX-5 now too and I'm looking forward to coming back here for a 3rd time to buy on for myself! 100% trustworthy sales rep, Jayson Corteeze, and tech team!!!! Love this place read more

DONT add on the extra warranty when you purchase a car with them. They have a contract with whoever they have for their warranty AND will not release you if you cannot go back to their dealership. So even if you moved 50 miles away they won't let you get it fixed with YOUR warranty that you paid for at a closer dealership. read more

Stay away from this dealership! The sales manager, rudy, is super rude. If he's super rude to his customers then I can only imagine how he is to his employees. Really bad attitude and pushy towards my mother in law in trying to buy a car she didnt want. She ended up finding a car but after going over the contract they tried to add other fees on there that she never agreed to nor did they even explain what the fees were for. Just a very shady place. read more

Although we did not buy a car here and did not buy a Mazda, there were good cars here not the perfect car for my wife. read more

I'm giving this place five stars because of Hugo. Three years ago I was supposed to have a repair done on my car and was waiting for parts to come in to have it worked on. I never got a call and never follow through. Something happened that made me call to say, " hey,does anybody know what happened to that service repair part"? Hugo listen to me but told me he did not see anything written down. We got off the phone and I figured that was that. He called me back, he said they still had the part and that he would be happy to schedule the repair at no charge. I even came back to my car washed!!!!! Thank you Hugo! read more

The associate to ask for when you come here is definately Gonzalo. A+ service from him from "hello". Gonzalo went well above and beyond what any other representative had done in past car purchases. From a walk around video of my soon to be cx-5, to making sure I received everything I deserved from the deal. He even helped me get my discount (which I actually forgot to request while signing) mailed to me as a check! I'm sure the other reps there are great but if I were you I'd ask for Gonzalo. read more

This is a great dealership to shop for a car if you want to test drive a car for a half a block and then receive 488 phone calls over the next month. Make no mistake about it my friends, the aggressive and persistent new car salesman is NOT dead and buried regardless of the new car information consumers have at their disposal these days. Just "sniff in" here and you'll see exactly what I mean. We did a ONE MINUTE test drive and it was over due to "someone dropping the ball". This was already strike one. The car itself seemed pretty nice inside and out and from what we could tell in ONE MINUTE, it drove pretty well. But then the PHONE CALLS started and wouldn't stop. Literally, EVERY DAY right out of the gate. Then, about 5 days in a female calls and then a male calls ONE MINUTE (how's that for irony?) later. Seriously dog? I worked in sales many years ago and any company worth a carp has a decent database for documenting call outs to prospects so you don't over call and piss someone off and make sure you're following up regularly until you CROSS THEM OFF THE LIST due to no interest. Even if you're cold calling someone you don't beat them over the head the way this place does. The odd part with this dealership is that they EXPECT you to call back if you're not interested. In this day-and-age when everyone and their dog thinks they're 12 times busier than they actually are do you really think that courtesy call is going to happen? "Nice try, thanks for playing". Where did you receive your sales training peeps? Get a clue about the real world situation out there right now. The world is full of impatient pukes with no attention span (thank the Tech Age) and courtesy calls have become as extinct as a do-do bird or Tyrannosaurus Rex. Even though I wasn't the one shopping for a car I almost called them back as a courtesy when the calls first began, but I was amazed how many calls we'd already received so I opted to use this more as a social experiment instead. I should have kept a tally sheet on a chalkboard but I can assure you that we've received calls DAILY and oftentimes TWICE PER DAY for over 2 weeks and they still haven't stopped now that we're about a month in. Unless you're going in to drive home a car that day, do yourself and your voicemail a service and RUN FOR THE HILLS before you consider coming here to test drive a car you're only "considering". They will make you pay, one way or another. read more

The absolute worst car buying experience!! I bought an Escape that had an oil leak the same night I got the car home. The dealership created the biggest mess just to get it fixed, the GM was arrogant as hell and adamant that he didn't have to do anything to fix it even though I was within my 2 day return and cancelation policy. A different Ford dealership finally fixed it for me after Cardinale way agreed to pay for the work. But then Cardinale way wouldn't even provide a car for me to drive for the week my car was being repaired. Then it took about 2 days for them to pay. I then discovered that one of my windshield wipers wasn't working, and I had to pay $118 to get it fixed. This dealership doesn't even fully inspect their vehicles before they sell them!! And the management staff and GM are incredibly rude and not helpful. I would never recommend buying a car here!! read more

Called this dealer to see if they would match a quote I received. Talked to AJ. She was very nice. Called me back and said they would. Made an appointment to buy the car and pick it up. When I arrived there was a reserved spot for me to park. AJ met us at the door. After we went and looked at the car, we went to her office to do paperwork. There were some negotiations that still needed to happen - trade in, rebates etc. This went smooth. Finance department was quick. Not much push on up sales. Bottomline, experience was good. AJ was great. Would buy another car from them. read more

First time car buyer here, I shopped around at honda and hyundai before but didnt fall in love with the civic or elantra. Came here and test drove the Mazda3 and knew this was my car. I think they actually go through the reviews on yelp to improve on things. I wasnt bombarded by calls or emails or anything and test drive was a lot longer than other dealerships so you could really get a feel of the car. Jesus was really knowledgeable about the car, inside and out. The finace manager here, Pauline, really worked around my budget and offered me a 0 percent apr for a first time buyer. She took the time to explain every single term on the contact instead of just saying "sign here, initial here." This dealership is fairly new and their prices were way more competitive than HB mazda, cerritos, or southbay. Once the deal was done, everything was ready to go within the hour. I felt no pressure during the entire process. This dealership was really far from my house but the drive was definitely worth it. They even offered to drive my old car to my house and offered a drink from starbucks. If you're in the market for a new mazda check this place out. Just always do your research before hand about what you want, your credit options and budget, trade in value etc. read more

I will start by saying me and my wife leased a cx5 three years ago and it was great experience. Our lease is over and the car is great so we called to hear the buyout options and they told us we needed to come down. I didn't want to go to the dealership knowing their one goal was to get us to lease or buy a new vehicle instead of buyout our lease. Hesitantly we scheduled an appointment and went down. As soon as we were entering we got the sell mentality and schtick and instead of a finance person we got Taylor the salesman. As soon as we made it clear we just wanted to out our lease he literally said to us while walking to the office "let's get this going so I can get out and sell some cars today" which we responded with let us talk to the finance people and you can go sell cars. He assured us he could help us but didn't have any info we needed. As soon as he knew there was no way he was going to get us a new car or lease he was the epitome of rude. He answered every question with "why". Our online account said the buyout was a certain amount and he had an amount about 8k higher he said our amount was correct. Then we wanted to know why it was different and he made it feel that we were odd for asking. Like we were out of our minds for wanting to know how much we needed to pay. He kept telling us that he felt that we were not happy that he couldn't help us. I told him I know you sell cars, that's great, we need the guy who does the financing part and knows how to talk to adults. My wife got up and walked away and the finance guy came out and talked to her. She told him how horrible our experience was and that all we needed was an amount and he was cool and said he would text my wife the amount. When I had called I made it incredibly clear we just wanted to buyout the lease but Taylor insisted we needed to come down. I can't believe they have employees who act like this and while my wife was talking to the finance person Taylor was hanging around and the finance guy literally shooed him away. I don't think that is the first time someone had to apologize for Taylor's lack of professionalism. We may buy a Mazda in the future but won't be from them. Buying a car is an incredibly stressful situation and word of mouth references go far so to have people go through that type of experience blows my mind. If I owned a business that conducted themselves this way or had this type of employee mentality I would do some serious internal house cleaning and retraining. read more

Phil Sheridan is the man! He gave me a great price quote OTD. Did not have to play games and go back and forth all day.

They also called before out appointment and offered us Starbucks. The cherry on top was the gift bag at the end. This place runs a dealership incredibly. We will definitely be back when we are ready for another Mazda. Lastly, they had some beautiful women working there! I hope my wife don't see this! Ahhhhhhh read more
