My advice is if you are looking for a new Mazda run! Don't walk to Mazda of Port Charlotte, and ask for Rich Walsh. You better run fast because Rich is very busy because he is the best. The entire staff was helpful, friendly and seemed just as excited as I was about my new car purchase. Thanks again Mazda of Port Charlotte and Rich Walsh. Roxanne Pareti, Rotonda West

As stated, they offered more than $7k, and had sold a similar year model for $12k. I was offered $5k in person at another local dealer after inspection. So, if they were truthful at Port Charlotte Mazda, they want to rip off people on out right buying cars or most likelt trade ins as well. THEIR LIE ON THE REPLY FURTHER HIGH LIGHTS MY COMMENT THAT I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND DOING BUSINESS WITH THEIR UNSCRUPULOUS SALES DEPARTMENT!

2024 must have been an off year for the Avenue Garage. I've heard from a neighbor who previously…read moreworked as a mechanic there that they have quite a turnover with new mechanics and heard from another source that mechanics get commissions these days. I took my 2013 Mercedes convertible there in January 2024 and left it there for diagnostics of an overheating problem after being stuck in traffic all day from 1-75 being closed on December 27th or 28th 2023 due to a bad multiple vehicle accident. The Avenue Garage said the head gaskets were blown and it needed an engine replacement. They did find a replacement engine with approximately 50,000 miles "of course that's what they all say I have learned". Then the repair estimate was over $11,000 to replace the engine and make sure everything was operating properly. I decided that seemed really high and ended up leaving the vehicle here at my second home in Punta Gorda and deal with it this 2025 season. In January 2025 I contacted a Mercedes Benz repair specialist in Pompano Beach Florida and told him that it was determined last year by another repair technician in the Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda area that the car needs a replacement engine so he said he would try to find one and get back with me. He did find a replacement engine within a month then called me back with an estimate of approximately $4500 total for the engine and putting it in. The engine itself was $2100 which was included in the total price of $4500. I then paid for the engine and scheduled my once a year long haul tow up to 200 miles and had the vehicle towed to Pompano Beach for replacement of the engine. ABA Performance in Pompano Beach then test drove the car a few times, ran the engine diagnostics, determined it was low on coolant and spark plug #3 was misfiring but GUESS WHAT THE CAR DID NOT NEED A REPLACEMENT ENGINE AFTERALL! I was very skeptical about what I was being told but he satisfied me with his answers to all of my question. He did do a complete service on the vehicle and fixed what was needing to be fixed. So now I have a 2013 Mercedes replacement engine for sale $2100 OBO! So glad I didn't fall for the over 11 grand repair job that the Avenue Garage recommended. I almost sold the car as is to another neighbor thinking it needed an engine replacement and left the car here in Punta Gorda with a car cover on it which blew off during Helene or Milton not sure which hurricane it was. LESSON LEARNED ALWAYS GET A SECOND OR EVEN THIRD OPINION

I would like to commend and thank Jason, Kirk and all at Avenue Garage for the warranty replacement…read moreof the ABS Pump/Module that failed on my 2010 VW Jetta. Not only did they replace the faulty unit free of charge, but cleaned the vehicle inside and out as well as inspected the car for additional deficiencies. This was a safety courtesy to me without any pressure to perform the repairs or drum up sales. This was very much appreciated as these deficiencies really needed to be addressed and I was given a quote and the option to either repair it myself or have them do it. Again, no pressure! Thanks Guys!

When we went back this time for oil change and tire rotation, the rotated the tires, but didn't fill them up like we asked. We have a TPMS system and the tires still showed low.

So we went back a couple weeks later (we'd been out of town) and asked them to rotate the tires how we wanted them, and they threw in balancing for free.

The final bill was tallied: $104, which I thought was a lot, but I assumed it was the 3.5% up-charge for paying be credit card (which I did know about, but forgot to bring cash). I said something about the cost and that's when I was told the license plate bulb had burned out and had been replaced. No one said anything before changing it, no one asked me if I wanted it changed, and frankly I didn't. When I responded exactly that (you didn't tell or ask me) the reply was: "But you'll get pulled over for that." Bullshit, I say. Truth is I was told that light was out the last time I had the oil changed, and I declined replacing it then. That was 4 months ago, one major drive trip to FL's east coast and back, and not a single siren in my rearview. What's really bothering me is that I finally looked at the itemized bill when I got home: $14.99 for a flippin' light bulb. (Which, I don't doubt, I could get for half, or maybe 3/4s, of that at an auto parts store.) Maybe it's a good thing they changed it b/c I forgot to do it when I was first told it was out last oil change. But that's not the point. Bottom line: request your Customer's permission before doing an add-on. Period.
