    Marin A.

    I've visited this location about twice now for standard service, I usually visit the North Scottsdale Mini location however I've found the TEMPE location is a tad more convenient for me. The last oil change I received I was contacted half way through the service to be aware that my "coolant tank is leaking coolant" by Doug O'Donnell, and if I wanted to have that fixed. I accepted and then they finished the service. The next morning i picked up my car, got in and my check engine light was still on. As I was on my way to work I wasn't able to go in and let them know but figured I would call later in the day. I ended up getting a survey later in the day so I sent it back with the contents containing my frustrations. I had a scheduled oil change for this morning with Doug O'Donnell, upon entering I sensed a bit of an attitude from him. I don't know if he recognized my name with the survey that I had taken months back and decided to retaliate with an attitude or what but it was not welcoming. He was looking over my account and said "you don't need an oil change, it's been too soon" I said "well my check engine light is still on, so I'd like that looked at and it's more cost effective to pay for the oil change and have them tell me the car issue rather than pay the diagnostic fee" he said "we only do multi point checks with oil changes we won't be able to tell you why the check engine light is on with that" I had then let him know how for every oil change I received at the North Scottsdale MINI I would receive a call if I had any serious issues with my car that needed immediate attention or at minimum a print out of suggested services. I have multiple copies of them in my glove box STILL. Doug just stated "I'm shocked that they would do that" I don't understand what's so shocking, a dealership performing service on my car and will be checking my car anyway- let's me know what all is wrong with my car and then I pay more money for the additional service on top of the oil change! THATS shocking? sounds like good business practice if you ask me! I know every dealership isn't the same however I now know I will not be returning to this location.

When he picked up the car, his Apple CarPlay USB dongle was missing. He reported it that same day and was promised a callback once they found it. They even told him it could have been mistaken for one of their troubleshooting dongles. It never came. Over the next nearly four months: Johnny called back -- was promised a callback, nothing. I called on his behalf -- promised a callback, nothing. On May 26 I left a voicemail for division manager Thomas Tufano -- no response. I then emailed Thomas directly -- no response. To be clear: this started in April. It is now August. Nearly four months for an $80 item that went missing while my son's first car was in their care. Four attempts. Nearly four months. Zero follow-up from anyone at this dealership. The alignment work itself was fine, but the complete failure to handle a simple customer concern -- and the repeated empty promises -- is unacceptable. I would not recommend this service department. We will be taking our business to AutoNation Hyundai Scottsdale for all future service. I will gladly update this review if AutoNation Hyundai Tempe makes this right.

First off, I found the vehicle online after finding what I want. I message them and they got back to me so quickly that I could not even blink an eye. The vehicle looked exactly how it was posted online. On top of that they sent me a video of the vehicle right there at the dealership for me, just to let me know that it's actually there. I was able to discuss prices over the phone get the entire layout before even entering the doors. We were happy and satisfied by the time that we walked out the doors with keys in hand. The best part was the fact that the person who we were dealing with Sam was wonderful. He kept me feeling like I was in good hands and for me that is hard to do. I would 100% recommend them for any vehicle that you're looking to purchase.

Through the years, have bought over 3 Lexus vehicles from Lexus of Chandler. In every one of those purchases, Sam Ladd has made it all run smoothly and without issues. Sam has been our sales rep for every deal and he has been completely genuine, aboveboard and straightforward. Service has also been top notch. Have serviced all Lexus vehicles here at this dealership where Miss Misty Darling, our service advisor, is simply phenomenal. Miss Misty is beyond knowledgable able to shine with her expertise of vehicle service needs. At the helm is general manager Randy Usery whom has always been approachable and kind. Another gentleman, sales manager Greg Walling, works in an old fashion honest manner. Inclusively, was instrumental in helping locate one of our recent purchase which we were grateful. Huge thank you to all. The wonderful amenities here beside the fantastic service are: Excellent coffee, multitude of snacks, soft drinks, bottled water in a beautiful lounge while you wait. Free car wash when you service your vehicle is a cool perk as well! All together, this great winning team has been fantastic and cannot say enough about the quality of people working at Lexus of Chandler. Try them out, you'll be glad you did :) As always, thank you for reading!

Example: got spark plugs replaced at 75K per the service schedule. Yet, every time I get an oil change, the same spark plug service is 'recommended' again. Same with the fuel and induction service. This is a service recommended every 30K for direct-injected engines. Fine. But stop trying to get me to pay $300 every visit to have it done again. That's a bold-faced scam. I don't understand this process because it hurts their reputation. People talk. I tell friends not to go to a particular dealership if they're shady. Shady service department practices hurt the sales floor guys in the long-run, right? How is this difficult to understand? Trust requires every department to be transparent otherwise the entire business is looked at as dishonest. It's the same with any industry. Also, just the other day after an oil change they recommended an alignment without even so much as a road test (because I was there for a simple oil change). I just had new tires put on and paid $130 for an alignment after having the lower control arms swapped out. What are they smoking? The car tracks straight as an arrow (if they bothered to drive it). They're literally just making stuff up and hoping gullible people will pay. That bothers me. It used to be dealers would try and up-sell you on things like engine air filters and cabin air filters for an extra $30 bucks. These days they try and get you on multiple $200-$300 dollar 'repairs' every 4-6 months. It's an incredibly disingenuous process that drives away repeat customers. And the mind-blowing thing is, all dealerships do this. And before someone says, "well, it's Mazda's maintenance schedule for your car's mileage that just shows up on their screen," I just have this to say: Can the service department's software cross-reference my car's history (the stuff I've paid for recently), before automatically generating a redundant recommended service? It seems like this would be a cinch with a custom LLM deployed across their back-end platform. But obviously that would cost them money and only benefit the customer so, of course that'll never happen. Another thing that's very strange and annoying about this place, is that if you request a maintenance special from their official service department website, the service managers act confused and demand I show them proof on my phone (as if I were lying). Guys, it's YOUR promotion, on YOUR website. Why am I educating you on what your dealership is offering this month? The website deals aren't even printable like coupons of the past, so I'm not sure how they expect people to claim these without hassle. Perhaps service managers need regular refreshers on current dealership discounts. The only reason I take my out-of-warranty car to this dealership anymore is the occasional 33% discount on oil changes. You'd have to be out of your mind to pay $120+ for a retail-priced oil change for a 4-cylinder car. Lastly, I keep all my invoices and receipts, and on my last visit, there was an unexplained $4.99 fee at the bottom (not part of the itemized labor and supplies at the top of the page). I didn't appreciate that and it wasn't worth my time to drive back and have it explained. Very annoying, especially since I come here often. That being said, everyone's generally pretty friendly, and the work is (usually) performed in less time than anticipated. Just be aware they will try and sell you maintenance items your car doesn't need, or items that have already been recently performed (by them!).

On our way out we decided to stop here at Horne Mazda to see if they might be able to assist with a used CX50 that fit my friends budget. Upon entering we were greeted by Cash.

I will say Cash led us on quite the expedition with his world class personality. Very knowledgeable with Mazda products and his genuine personality made our efforts to stop worth while. Between his no pressure demeanor and his willingness to help in every way led us to a successful visit for all party's involved. Cash and company worked their magic to meet the budget needs, what started in a used car search ended up with a new car purchase at the same price point. Cash moved mountains for us and truly went the extra mile for us. He was a true inspiration to restore faith in the car buying experience.

    Final Update: After…read morefinally getting in direct contact with the General Sales Manager, Chuck, I was able to fully express my frustrations regarding how I was previously handled by both the representative and the salesman. Chuck took the situation seriously from the start. He acknowledged my experience, made it clear that this was not how they operate, and stated that this was far from the values of both their dealership and Chapman as a whole. He immediately took action. Chuck personally looked into everything and went out of his way to make things right by ensuring I was placed in a vehicle that truly met my needs. He arranged for me to work directly with one of his trusted salesmen, Andrew, and made it clear that when I arrived, I would be handled exclusively by him--no confusion, no runaround. From that point forward, the experience was a complete night-and-day difference compared to what I dealt with before. The level of professionalism, communication, and respect shown by both Chuck and Andrew completely turned the situation around. I genuinely appreciate the time, effort, and accountability Chuck showed in taking control of the situation and making sure it was handled properly. Because of that, I can now confidently say that I am beyond satisfied with my experience and would return again.

I'm a retired service manager and give props to Cade for his handling of my issue (5 stars). Issue: The scheduling. I called the scheduling department to make an appointment as this dealer is really far from me but they had the best price on oil changes for my 2021 Trailboss. The scheduler said the wait will be one hour. Ok no problem I can do that and made the appointment. However... right when I get there I was informed it would be a two hour wait. I didn't really have that much time to spare but had to get it done as my emissions were due. 2.5 hours later my truck was finally done with a standard oil change with no rotate and no other services. Someone really needs to address this issue with the scheduling department. I'd almost rather pay the higher prices at other dealers (that are closer to me) than have to wait that long for a standard oil change. Especially after being told it would only take one hour. Express Lane? I think not.

I called AAA for a tow, the driver noticed what he thought was a nail and asked if I wanted air instead. I drove straight to the Ford service dept quick lane, which happens to be so close to my house, I could throw a rock and hit the parking lot. Josh came out with a smile and remembered my call. My vehicle was taken straight back and was in and out in 45mins. Turned out it was a small piece of metal, not a nail and I was able to leave with a patch, rather than a $300 tire. Thanks so much for the exemplary customer service and interaction. I will def be bringing my vehicle into this location going forward.
