    Great experience with Mazda service. They have a good waiting area with water and Starbucks fresh brew in the lobby waiting area. My vehicle was completed as stated.

    Extremely Disappointed - Ongoing Damage and Zero Accountability I've been a loyal Mazda customer since 2019 and have always received excellent service at other Mazda dealerships -- until I came to CardinaleWay Mazda in Corona. All of this started on September 22, 2025. What should have been a simple oil change turned into a nightmare of poor service, new damage to my vehicle, and complete lack of follow-up. After my first visit, my car came back with a large scratch on the rear passenger door and white spots on the headlights (which I initially assumed were from a bad wash, so I didn't bring it up at that time, once home i discovered all this dots splashed under the hood and would not come off with water and soap). The manager, Christina, initially agreed to repair the scratch, but communication has not been the best-- she never called back when promised. I dropped off the car September 24th 10:24AM. I went back to pick up my car September 27th at 1:00pm. When I finally picked up my car, although the first scratch had been repaired, new damage appeared on the driver's door, along with paint issues on the trunk and passenger side. I documented everything with photos and videos, yet when I brought this to the manager's attention, she implied I wasn't being truthful, despite clear evidence. She told me she found it "hard to believe all these things happened here," even though similar complaints exist in their own Google reviews (such as one from Thy Nguyen about vehicle damage six months ago). In my frustration, and not wanting to go back to this place, I tried using a pen that Mazda sales with paint color that matches your car, but unfortunately for me this did not fix the problem. On Monday, October 6, Christina told me the director would be in that week and she'd call me by Wednesday. That call never came. When I called again today, she said they would only "patch it up" because the director did not authorize a proper fix. She was rude and impatient, even though I am the customer dealing with repeated dealership-caused damage. She insisted their touch-up person was "a professional," so I gave them one last chance. I brought my car in -- and all they did was dab three small dots of paint over the damage. That was the extent of their "repair." To give an idea of the lack of service quality, when I first arrived for service, there was no greeting or introduction from the service representative (Austin -- I only learned his name later when the manager mentioned it). At every other Mazda dealership I've visited, I'm greeted professionally, they use protective mats and seat covers, and they take care to respect the customer and their vehicle. None of that happens here. I've wasted hours returning to this dealership, calling for updates that never come, and dealing with ongoing negligence and dismissive attitudes. CardinaleWay Mazda's lack of accountability and customer service is deeply disappointing and does not reflect the Mazda brand I've come to trust. I truly hope Mazda Corporate takes note, as this dealership has seriously damaged its reputation. (In the pictures, you can't see the initial damage to the rear passenger door, the white dots, and the last pictures you can see the car with no damage, then the chips to the driver door, date, time, location of pictures, then how they try to patch it up, you can see the wet droplets of paint, and then how it looks after it's dry that is not acceptable.)

    Dishonest from Saul... avoid!
    Matthew L.

    I would beware of the prices you see online, as they do not include the dealership mark ups and BS add-one. Which is usually true for most dealerships, but I'll tell you why this is not the place to buy a car. I found a good price on a CX-50 hybrid on cargurus and contacted them, asking for the OTD quote of 28500. They specifically said on the phone, "The add-ons are optional, they are just there so we protect our pricing and you don't use that quote to price match." But when we talk numbers, Saul says that's not true and "we price it low so you come in". I totally understand the mindset of a business but to me that's just dishonest and basically a bait and switch. I won't lie; the price wasn't even that bad but it just didn't feel right to do business like that so I left. Afterwards, Saul texts me to do 24700 out the door, which had me skeptical so I asked him to email me the offer. Turns out, it wasn't 24700 out the door, it was 24700 including my down payment which was close to the marked up price. Saul man you gotta have some morals, not everything is about profit and Jordan, if you see this, shoutout to you because I really enjoyed our time together during the test drive and your kind demeanor. You weren't pushy about the add-ons and it's unfortunate that your management is doing these kinds of business practices. I hope you can find a better place to work at because you are awesome, but I feel the environment that you're in isn't great. Would give a 1 star for Saul but Jordan deserves a 5 star. But overall since Saul is the "#2 in command", CardinaleWay Mazda is a 2 for me, avoid and find a better, honest dealership.

    Absolutely loved coming here. I ended up purchasing a Mazda Sedan thanks to Erin. I don't think I would've left with a car if it wasn't for him helping me and my dad decide what was best. He even stayed late that we we can do all the necessary paperwork.

    My family and I use to come here all the time since we moved here to get our cars repaired. Just…read morerecently, I took my car in January to repair the clutch actuator in my hybrid and they took 4 months to complete the repair after trial and error. They took on a bigger project than they were qualified for, damaging a part after another, eventually replacing the hybrid battery and transmission. They always had an excuse pushing the deadline on every single inbound call. After applying daily pressure on them on a continuous basis , I finally received my car in April, however, the shop still owes me $583 for one of the car rentals they told me to purchase. I kept calling to retrieve the money but they didn't keep their word and denied paying me back. I could have easily placed a lien on the business for $583 with all the proof to retrieve my money but you know my good heart didn't follow through. Instead, writing this review will sting bigger and is the least I can do for the people. Im an easy going guy but after going through this extensive car repair, we decided to pull away from doing any future business for the wrong doing and unprofessionalism of their actions. I believe it's only right for everyone to hear about this and avoid what I went through, therefore, save yourself a headache. The owner is not a man of his word. This will bake in slowly. P.S. I also have screenshots, messages, and documents in case they want to lie and deny the truth.

    Despite what the owner stated in the past, I've had my Ford worked on over there several…read moretimes.....all for the same problem.....the transmission! The 1st time I thought all went well, until when he had the car delivered, on the receipt was stamped 6 mos warranty! Well, after I authorized him to repair the transmission....he said that he would give me a 1 year warranty. When I asked him about the 6 mos warranty stamp, he said "no worries they made a mistake....I will honor 1 year." I paid him $3,200 for the job. WHO in their right mind would agree to only a 6 mos warranty after paying that much?! So, the car ran well for about 7 months, then transmission went out. I called him, and had the car towed back over there. He said that " you know it's out of warranty, but I will see what I can do". So now he forgets about what he initially told me! So, he kept my car for another 6 mos......dodging all of my calls, and making up B.S. excuses about why my car wasn't ready! When I got the car back he told me that he would not give me a new warranty! The car ran for another few months....then transmission went out again! Smh SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME! Oh, and he must know someone over here at YELP, because he had my 2 prior reviews taken down! Smh

    What a great experience!!!! ---…read more ** 5.0** I wish I could give more than 5 stars on this review. Wholesale Tire and Automotive is the only shop I trust with my cars. Kenni, the owner, is amazing and always makes sure you're fully informed. Her mechanic Michael is incredibly sharp -- he diagnosed and fixed an issue on my daughter's BMW that a "name brand" shop had written off as unrepairable. It runs perfectly now. Based on that, I brought my Suburban in before a 6,000-mile road trip for my daughter's college move-in. Josiah and Kenni walked me through everything it needed, and the truck runs just like new. Fair prices, honest work, great people. Do yourself a favor and give them your business -- I won't take my cars anywhere else.

    2010 Jetta 2.5L (Oil and Coolant leak, yes we know these cars have their issues)…read more I paid $1,300 for oil and coolant leak repairs. While they did fix the oil leak from the brake vacuum pump (with customer provided part), the rest of the experience was a disaster of poor diagnostics and unauthorized billing. * Unresolved Coolant Leak: Charged to replace the coolant flange, but the car leaked coolant immediately after picking it up. Basically felt like I had to figure the problem out before bringing it back in, and/or I wasn't believed that the issue was still happening. I called back a few days later after coolant level had dropped, was told it was air pockets. Refilled and waited another week. Lost another quart+ of coolant. We park it in the dirt so I placed a tray under the vehicle and caught quite a bit of coolant with an observed active drip a day after the car had been resting (this was all communicated to Kenni with a picture). At this point she said I could bring it in, as I felt like the diagnostic was being pushed onto me to not waste their mechanics time. * Unauthorized Shifter Cable: Replaced a shifter cable during the leak repair completely without my consent or prior authorization. * Defective Recheck & Dismissive Attitude: When I brought the car back, they drove it hot instead of letting it sit cold to locate the drip, then claimed they couldn't find anything. Rather than taking responsibility, they acted like it was my fault for owning the car and made it clear they didn't want to invest any more shop hours into actually solving the problem. * Surprise Diagnostic Fee: Ran a $60 chemical block test without my permission, billed me for it, and still couldn't identify the leak. The owner is personable and gives off a "family-like, straight shooter" vibe at the counter, but that friendly helpful demeanor vanished once things got complicated and time consuming for the shop. The right thing to do would be to offer some kind of refund, but since that was not offered by default for not resolving the issue, I am going to assume this happens more often than not on certain repairs and is not worth my time to fight or challenge other than leaving a detailed review to warn others. Doing unauthorized work, shifting blame to the customer, and leaving a $1,300 bill with an active coolant leak makes it impossible to recommend this shop.

That felt insane to me, so I decided to get a second opinion and took it to Auto Technik instead. I am SO glad I did. I first reached out to them through Yelp, then hopped on a phone call with them, and they were able to take my car in the very next day. After diagnosing it, we were all pretty shocked to find out that what the Toyota dealership said needed to be repaired had actually been misdiagnosed. Jay was able to figure out what was really going on simply by plugging into the car and properly reading the diagnostics. We were honestly appalled that the Toyota dealership hadn't caught it in the first place. So instead of spending $7,500 at the dealership and most likely STILL not fixing the actual problem, Auto Technik was able to properly diagnose and fix my Sequoia for around $1,500. Aside from saving me a ton of money, everyone here was just so nice and communicative with me throughout the entire process. I felt like they were honest with me, explained what was going on, and genuinely wanted to make sure the actual problem was fixed. I'm seriously so appreciative of Jay and everyone at Auto Technik. After this experience, I'm really glad I found a shop I feel like I can trust with my car. I wish them nothing but continued success!
