    Our new Trax. Thanks Ty!
    Mark M.

    A huge thank you to Ty, Dean, Chase and the Harnish Chevrolet staff. We initially stopped by to look at a used car we saw on their site, but it had just been listed and wasn't quite ready to show. Ty worked to ensure we would get basically "first dibs" on it if we wanted to come back the next day. We did, and he had it pulled right up front and ready to show. It ended up not being the right fit, but Ty listened and patiently helped us zero in on everything we were looking for in our next ride. After some pleasant negotiations on final price and features, that perfect vehicle ended up being a 2024 Trax and we love it. Ty, you're the man and we'll be back!

    A little background about myself. I have been in the military for 24 years and when you are scheduled to be someplace at a specific time, one better be there. That brings me to Harnish Quick Lube Service Shop. Why does the shop schedule you an appointment? My time was for 15:00 and I arrived 10min early. In the military, if you are 5min early, your late. When I arrive, I was waiting to check in when a gentleman in front of me brought his car in early, 1hr early. I handed my keys in, my car was not pulled in until 16:30, and what make thing worse, the gentleman that checked his car in before me was serviced first. I was not out until 17:30. Again, Why do they schedule appointments! Thanks

    Okay, so I have an update. If I were to have the actual issue corrected with the car it would be just under $5,000. As in Five Thousand Dollars. I am, as it is, spending $2,000 on the repairs to make the car serviceable and at the advice of my mechanic not removing the top half of the engine to clean the exhaust port emission tunnel. There is no way, NO WAY, that this dealership could not have known this if they did anything to look at the car. The codes were very clear and spot on. But, they cleared the codes knowing the cars systems would take a while to replicate the condition and have the codes fire again. Please, if you read this, stay away from this place. I received, in addition to the standard language they use on all ratings every time they screw someone over, one email reminding me I bought the car as is but I could contact them. For what? To remind me yet again I bought the car as is and how they screwed me? No thanks.

    Harnish Auto is lucky to have Tyler Montes as an employee. The value he brings to the company is clearly exhibited based on his years of experience growing up with a family in the auto industry, he is excellent in his position. My husband and I have been searching for a new vehicle, and our first ever truck, for nearly 3 years. After a day of searching and test driving at other dealerships throughout King/Pierce County, we made it to River Road to see what Harnish Auto had on their lot. Tyler Montes immediately asked my husband what he was looking for, and showed him the two brand new 2022 LT Trail Boss Silverado 1500's that were on the lot. His knowledge of the vehicle safety, design, and overall operational features was impressive. Speaking to him was like speaking to a long-lost friend. We were immediately able to make a connection and provide him a better understanding of what we were looking for. Tyler Montes explained the difference between the GMC Sierra 1500 SLT X31, other Sierra trims, other Silverado trims, and even the Canyon/Colorado trims. Further, once we knew that the full size truck was right for us, we test drove the vehicle around the block and got to try out all of the features and get a feel for the LT Trail Boss. Once we decided that this was the exact truck we wanted, our finance process went smoothly with the assistance of Tyler Montes and Billie (finance specialist). We chose to add on the additional warranty because it comes with much more than damage/defects. The ceramic paint/body coating and full protective interior coating is well worth it, because I have it on one of our other vehicles (when they try to sell it to you, definitely consider your options). The detail department completely detailed the truck inside out prior to our departure. Tyler Montes showed us how to activate OnStar, Bluetooth, and Android Auto. Also, he showed us how to use the tailgate, headlights, and camera system.

    Felt defeated after car shopping yesterday... and I'm so glad I ended my day at Harnish! Everyone was so nice and accommodating, I never once felt like I was being strung along. Big shout out to Ryan Watson for working his magic and getting me a payment I felt comfortable with! I love my new Outback!

A whole new fuel system was to be put in. After weeks of saying it will get started next week and stating they only have 1 lift big enough to lift my truck (highly doubt as they have service contracts with large companies), it was finally started. During the process they broke a bolt off in the engine. They called me asking for another $2400 to pull the broken bolt as insurance was not covering something they broke. After telling them I would not pay for something they broke either we are in limbo and I still have not heard back. We are now past 4 months of them having my truck. I called other ford service centers to see what their policy is on breaking something while they work and all said they would have just fixed it and not charged the customer. I am at a point where I am just ready to have the truck loaded on a trailer and start the process over again with another dealer. As I said earlier I doubt I will buy another vehicle here. Beware if you need service completed here.

    This my reply to Austin Dinsmore:…read more Austin, thank you for your reply. You said "we're sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience with us here at Puyallup Mazda." That's the same word that my daughter used when she said to me "Dad, I'm sorry I referred you to Puyallup Mazda." I said the same word to my friend for referring him to Puyallup Mazda. You also said "That's not the level we aim to provide, and it's not how we do business. We take pride in our customer service and always strive to ensure every visit is a positive one." Those are very eloquent words but I do believe not everyone in your dealership adheres to those principles; one being your sales manager. If he followed your principles, I would not be writing to you and daughter and I would not have to regret referring my friend to your dealership. In my opinion those words remind me of the culture created by Harold Milam in the early 1960's at the present dealership. Harold had nearly 60 years of experience to forge his culture of hard work, truthfulness and ethical behavior. After all, he grew up on a tobacco farm so he was not a stranger to hard work. Mazdas were added to his dealership in 1974. My daughter's mother bought a brand new Mazda 323 5 speed manual in 1987 from Milam Mazda. I drove that " matchbox" looking sedan for years. My daughter rode in that car since she was 4 years old which instilled in her a love for Mazdas. She later bought a 2008 Mazda 3 and a 2018 Mazda 3. Her husband bought a 2012 Mazda 3. Please note that all these Mazdas were purchased from Milam Mazda on River Road. I believe Harold Milam understood what real customer service was because my family purchased 4 Mazdas. His hard work, ethics and dedication to his customers' needs transferred to his employees. Sadly, I cannot say the hard work ethic generated by Harold Milam was evident in my purchasing experience with your sales manager. I believe the non performance of your sales manager contributed to my daughter and myself saying that we were both sorry for my friend purchasing a car at Puyallup Mazda. My daughter texted me saying "It just isn't the same place anymore". I agree with her. I wonder how Harold Milam would feel about your sales manager's behavior. Would he be proud of how business is now being transacted at Puyallup Mazda? Would he consider it a "disappointing experience?" I am looking forward to your reply.

The dealership is spotless, organized, and everyone we met was genuinely friendly, not the "I've had six coffees and a quota to hit" kind of friendly, but actual friendly. Our salesperson Sean was an absolute rockstar. His knowledge of the Kia EV9 is next-level, seriously, the guy could teach a master class on this thing. He explained every detail in plain English, answered every question without missing a beat, and somehow managed to make torque, charging rates, and drive modes sound exciting. Sean made the whole experience feel more like chatting cars with a buddy than sitting through a sales pitch. Jacob was also awesome, super helpful and made sure everything behind the scenes ran smooth as butter. Together, Sean and Jacob made a dream team. The whole dealership runs like a well-tuned engine, clean, professional, and welcoming. Even the coffee was good (and I'm picky about coffee). You can tell they actually care about their customers and take pride in what they do. If you're even thinking about checking out a Kia, especially the EV9, go see Sean and Jacob at Kia of Puyallup. You'll leave with a smile, a great car, and maybe even a new favorite dealership. The Kia EV9 is flat-out awesome, it's like driving the future but without the sci-fi soundtrack. The instant torque, smooth acceleration, and whisper-quiet ride make every trip feel effortless. No gas stations, no oil changes, just plug in and go. The tech inside is incredible too, from the massive screens to the ambient lighting and smart features that actually feel smart. After experiencing this level of comfort, power, and efficiency, I honestly can't imagine ever going back to a gas engine again. Once you go electric, everything else just feels... outdated.

    This was an odd one for me, because I'm very split on my opinion here…read more Let's start with the vehicles, because ultimately it's a used car lot and that's the main point, right? I stopped in for a specific vehicle that I had spotted online. Very beautiful car, well appointed, in great shape. I gave it a good look and found it to be top notch. No real concerns with the vehicle itself. I also scanned the rest of the lot and to me, it really looks like they have a nice variety of very good vehicles. Overall I'd say that if you are looking for a vehicle that is a bit more higher end than the average used car lot, this place seems to have a good selection of vehicles that fit that bill. They are not dealing in massive high mileage vehicles with a history of fender benders and dents and dings all over them. The inventory here is clean, straight and well maintained. I was not, however, very happy with the overall sales process. And I ultimately found a different vehicle elsewhere that fit my situation better. I wanted to bring my own financing because I have a credit union I have worked with for well over 20 years. I trust them, they know me, we have good honest conversations that help me create a financial situation I am comfortable with. But here, they were a bit pushy about running the financing themselves and almost outright insisted that I let them run it their way. It got to the point that I was getting rather irritated about how pushy they were getting about it. In the end, I did not buy the car from them. As I stated, I found a same model car elsewhere that fit my situation better, so I went with that car instead. So I'm very split on this one. The inventory here seems very nice, but the sales tactics feel very pushy to me. Your mileage may vary.

They clear codes before customer arrivals and then hope that their customers don't notice till later. If check engine lights come back on they may make it right eventually but they will make you deal with Mark Jorgenson who is the most unbearably clueless and difficult guy to work with on getting things handled. If you are going to look at a vehicle here please get a third party inspection done before purchasing
