This Mazda location is really good. I've owned a Mazda for two years and have been coming here for service since moving to Texas, and the experience has been consistently solid. They're very organized. I pull in, someone immediately comes out to greet me, offers water, and walks me through everything. The service advisor explains what we're doing, and I'm sent to the waiting area, which is always spotless and comfortable. The coffee machine is legit, there are plenty of snacks, and the seating is actually comfortable. I don't mind sitting here for an hour because it feels relaxed, not chaotic. Service costs are either covered or very reasonable, and there's never pressure to add anything on. They send a service video straight to your phone, which felt fast at first, but honestly just shows everything is moving smoothly and nothing urgent is wrong. The shuttle service is also super reliable when you need it. Overall, coming here doesn't feel dreadful, and for a car dealership, that says a lot. read more

After 10 years and 107K with my little Mazda2 (purchased at a different local dealership), it was finally time for an upgrade! I did my price/condition research via CarFax, Kelley Blue Book, and JDPower online, then made an appt to test-drive a used 2021 Mazda3 (45K miles) at Roger Beasley Central. (Before making the appt, I specifically asked a store rep online if the price were open to negotiation, since my research w' Kelley showed an average listing at thousands less than Beasley was asking. The online rep said yes.) THE GOOD PART: Once at the store, Sky was a pleasant and knowledgeable salesperson. She patiently answered all my questions (esp since I'd never driven a keyless car with apps before!) and went with me on my test drive. So far, so good... THE BAD PART: Once I'd driven the car, a "numbers guy"---I think his name was "Willie" but I'm not positive (heavy-set w' beard/cap)---came over with a couple of printouts with figures, offering me not a penny less than the initial $19.5K asking price! As mentioned, I'd already done a ton of research online, showing the "Typical Listing" price for this make/model/mileage at $17.7K, the Kelley "Fair Purchase Price" at $16.1K, and the JDPower price at $18.1K. "Willie" brushed off all of my figures, saying I must not have entered the correct mileage for the Kelley quote (which I did), and that Beasley "did not use" JDPower numbers. (Just because you don't "use" them doesn't mean JDPower doesn't have reputable numbers!) I didn't expect to get the low-end price of $16.1K, but I certainly DID expect a bit of negotiation that ended up closer to the $17.7-18.1K numbers. Especially since I was offering to pay for the entire car up-front! I've negotiated for used cars several times in past decades, and I know that the dealership always initially marks up the price and that the later agreed-upon price usually falls within the range shown by Kelley and others. But this guy offered NOTHING. He also told me that Roger Beasley had 4 dealerships in town and that I was not going to find another similar Mazda3 with them at a better price than $19.5K, since all the prices were linked---insinuating that if I really wanted a Mazda3, I'd have to deal with Roger Beasley! At this point, I informed him that PoleStar just down the street on Burnet currently has a similar Mazda3, as do other Mazda dealerships in Buda, San Antonio, etc., as do other smaller dealerships within Austin. He basically shrugged, and I left. Just curious: Did he think I was ignorant about car prices since I'm a middle-aged woman?! I find it hard to believe that he would not have negotiated the price with a man, and taken him more seriously. Needless to say, I won't be coming here again. read more

One star. I purchased a 2015 Mazda 3 from this dealership on June 5th. It had obvious front-end collision damage when I purchased it. The front bumper was pulling away from the body, the passenger-side headlight was broken, the front fender was dented, and the wheel well was damaged. I only went through with the sale because they promised, up front, to fix all of it. They first told me it'd take "a few days." It's now June 15th. The car still isn't fixed and I still don't have it. Getting a straight answer out of these people has been almost impossible. Not once has anyone here updated me on their own. Every bit of information I've gotten, I've had to chase down myself. I've now tried three different employees: Landry the sales manager, Sky my salesperson, and a voicemail I left for the GM, Eric. I called Landry at 8:50 this morning and was told I'd get a callback with an update on the repairs. Didn't happen. I asked which shop my car got sent to and couldn't even get that. I paid for this vehicle and I have no idea where it physically is. I've got photos of the damage and I wrote down every promise they made. Fix the car, deliver it, and just communicate with me like a normal business, and I'll happily come back and update this. Until then, anyone thinking about buying here should know what happens once they've got your signature. read more

I have had the worst customer service experience in my life with the service department of Mazda central. Forgive the long read but there are many issues that I've encountered throughout the repairs on my vehicle over the last 3 weeks. I am a contractor and rely on my work truck that I bought from this location as my livelihood and source of income. At only 60,000 miles the truck I bought here had a failure in the steering rack and pinion which was quoted at over $5,000 to repair. Fortunately the warranty I pay for every month would leave my out-of-pocket expense at $200. After towing my truck to this location it was not inspected by the mazda service team for 6 days. I was not given a loaner vehicle in the meantime until approval from warranty was granted. On the 7th day warranty approved the repairs but I was told there were no loaner vehicles available and I would have to be put on a list to wait until a loaner vehicle became available. I was unable to work and generate income during the time my truck was sitting waiting for repairs. I was then told my truck would be repaired within a week. I called and checked in on the progress and availability of a lower vehicle consistently throughout the period of time my truck was waiting to have the repairs completed, but was given very vague responses and told there were never any loaner vehicles available. After 16 days I went to the location and spoke with the service department manager and explained my situation to him, and he gave me a loaner vehicle right away and said they have had some available, and although they were experiencing a shortage they wanted to prioritize someone who needed it. I called Roger Beasley Mazda central 17 times between April 28th and may 14th trying to get updates on my truck and only received text message responses that were not accurate. I was told that my vehicle would be completed by may 12th, then may 13th, then may 14th, and now may 15th, and did not receive a loaner vehicle until this evening, may 14th, and I had to go in-person and complain to the service manager in order to receive the loaner vehicle. I was put in a position where I had no other option and pay a warranty that states I would have a loaner vehicle supplied to me under these circumstances and the best they could do to attempt to correct their horrible service was to offer to fill the gas tank of my truck that was already nearly full. I would avoid this at all costs, I am completely surprised by the positive reviews, perhaps the issue was primarily with my service supervisor, Jose who clearly is unfortunatley a poor communicator and is not interested in the best interest or well being of his clients. read more

Took my car to Roger Beasley Mazda for service and when I went to pick it up, I was made to pay the service bill. When the car was brought up I was given the "bad news", that my car was damaged in a hail storm and all they did was saran wrap the rear windshield which was shattered and expected me to drive off in that unsafe condition with loose glass flying all over the interior. That is how they treat a loyal customer. They would not even refund me the payment made for the service. The car was "totalled" by insurance and Roger Beasley did not do a thing to assist me. Thanks a lot Roger Beasley Mazda! read more

We had a great experience buying our new CX-50 in emerald green. What a vehicle! If you want red-carpet treatment, ask for Luis R. He's an attentive listener who is aware, caring, and knowledgeable about Mazda and all autos. You got this! Also, Hanny and Jesse assisted us with the numbers and financing. Hanny describes himself as a "man of hope." Who says that often in 2025?! Be sure to ask for these team members who treat you with classic customer service and care. read more

I had an excellent experience selling my car here, and Charlie Harrell is the main reason why. I was moving from Austin to Philadelphia and was stressing about selling my car and from the start, Charlie was straightforward, professional, and genuinely easy to work with. The entire process was fast, fair, and hassle-free. Charlie listened to what I wanted, didn't pressure me, and made sure I got the price I was hoping for. Everything he told me upfront ended up being exactly how it played out, no surprises, no runaround. It was the smoothest car-selling experience I've ever had. If you're thinking about selling or buying and want someone who actually respects your time and goals, hit up Charlie, you'll be glad you did. read more

My daughter needed to replace her vehicle after an accident totaled her car. The process of dealing with insurance and car shopping had made life stressful for several weeks. Earlier in the day, we'd been to a couple dealerships in Round Rock. One of those places really pissed me off - pushing vehicles with "add ons" and trying to get us to finance a more expensive vehicle after we'd been clear about wanting to pay cash with insurance money. Our entire experience at Roger Beasley Mazda Central was positive. James Christiano made things easy from the start. I called to confirm that the used Toyota RAV4 we were interested in was on the lot, and James had it waiting for us when we arrived. We worked with him and sales manager, Michael Huddleston to negotiate a fair price and left incredibly happy. I felt a sense of relief when my daughter drove off the lot in a great vehicle that she likes. Car shopping doesn't have to be a nightmare. I'm really grateful for the service we got here. read more

Roger Beasley Mazda Central - Car Dealers Near Me - Austin, Texas

I bought a used 2012 Toyota Camry from Roger Beasley Mazda Central because I believed I was dealing with a reputable dealership. I've only put about 3,000 miles on the car since purchasing it, and this week I took it to my independent mechanic for a full inspection. The list of issues they found was overwhelming and expensive enough to make me question whether this vehicle was properly inspected at all before being sold. What frustrates me most is that many of these problems appear to be long-standing maintenance and safety issues -- not things that suddenly happened overnight after 3,000 miles of normal driving. Either these problems were known and never disclosed, or the vehicle was never properly checked before being put on the lot. When customers buy from a dealership instead of a random Craigslist seller, they are paying extra for trust, transparency, and peace of mind. That is exactly what I feel I did NOT receive here. I understand used cars can have issues. I'm not expecting perfection from a 2012 vehicle. But I do expect honesty and a reasonable level of responsibility from a dealership presenting itself as reputable. Beasley's own site emphasizes trust, transparency, and customer care in reviews and marketing language, which is why this experience feels especially disappointing. Right now I feel stuck with a car that will need almost $10K in repairs shortly after purchase, and that's an awful feeling after trusting a dealer to do the right thing. read more

Great Buying Experience Ruined by Service Department Neglect I purchased a brand-new Miata RF from Roger Beasley Mazda Central in December, along with every available warranty and coverage option -- which significantly increased my monthly payment. At the time, I believed this would ensure peace of mind and priority service when I needed it. Unfortunately, that assumption could not have been more wrong. I had a scheduled service appointment this past Tuesday and was assured in advance that a loaner vehicle would be available. I rearranged my work schedule and took time off specifically for this. The morning of the appointment, I received a call from a service advisor informing me -- without apology -- that no loaners were available. This left me scrambling, with my time already wasted. I requested a callback from the service manager before rescheduling, as I didn't want to take more time off work without knowing I'd have transportation. That call never came. After several days, I called again to follow up and was told my information would be "emailed again" to the manager. Three more days have passed with no response. This is unacceptable. I am paying more every month for warranty coverage and benefits that, when I actually need them, are inaccessible. If I could prevent even one person from purchasing additional coverage from this dealership under the assumption it will be honored with priority and professionalism, I would. It's deeply disappointing because my sales experience was excellent -- but Mazda's follow-through on their promises has been nonexistent. At this point, it feels like I'll end up paying out of pocket for something I've already paid for in advance. If I could go back, I would not buy a Mazda, and I hope anyone reading this takes this warning seriously. ---------------- Update: After this was posted I received several concerned calls from the service department. They went above and beyond to fix this. I can accept that sometimes mistakes are made, its just how you acknowledge your mistakes and work to be better. I saw that from the service department. My car came back to me perfect. read more

Charlie Harrell was excellent with our family. We originally came in to fix a vehicle but ended up deciding to sell it instead. Charlie was patient- I have cancer and had to work around treatment schedule. Charlie was always there if we needed him, and always ready to answer any question, and promptly. We bought two cars from Beasley and have always been extremely pleased with their service. read more

Smooth transaction. Great people to work with.. I sold my Miata to these people and was an easy smooth transaction all the way!

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE!!! Especially if you're a woman, they will screw you over, take your money, and sell you a death trap while saying they're not responsible for anything.I bought a car from them and right after I signed the paperwork issues started showing up. A/C compressor wasn't properly functioning, despite their continued touting that they inspect each vehicle that comes into their lot. This delayed just being able to drive the car I bought by a week, having to fight tooth and nail for them to provide some kind of accommodation due to their own negligence. After that was resolved I thought things were in the clear, just to have my car completely overheat and die AS I WAS ON THE FREEWAY 2 months after buying the car. When I bring the car to the dealership and ask why the possibility of this wasn't told to me prior to me buying the car, Kenny, one of the men who sold me the car, continually put the blame on the service side while being unable/unwilling to answer questions about the initial inspection, downplayed the severity of the situation they put me in, and has essentially said it's not his problem. While I've had better conversations with the service side, this doesn't change the fact that I was sold a car that couldn't even last 2 months, and am out thousands of dollars only to have to buy another car now due to the negligence and disgusting business practices of this dealership. They will take advantage of you, especially if you're a woman. DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE TAKE YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! read more

Not as pressuring as other dealerships, but one major flaw makes me not recommend this place. Purchased a car from these guys last year. I came in with a pre-approved loan from my credit union, and after talking to them for a while, they told me that my credit union loan only stays low for a year, then it goes up in interest, and I'm stuck with it. Then they offered their own loan at 2% higher interest, saying it would stay like that, and I wouldn't be screwed over. The day before I am supposed to go in and sign, my credit union calls me to check on how my search was going, and I told them what they told me. The lady sighs and explains, very obviously upset, that this is a blatant lie that Roger Beasley tells people to get them out of using their pre-approved loans, and that they have called them multiple times to stop this. I went back and insisted on using my pre-approved loan, and obviously the interest hasn't gone up. DO NOT trust these people with their loan offers. What they're doing is at least sketchy and at most illegal. read more

I have never left a review before and I'm sorry my first one is a negative review. I am a repeat customer of Roger Beasley Mazda, and will not be back again. My latest experience was a cluster ****. Right when we parked we were greeted (which was awesome, we love that) and started working with Eric. Told him my price range and what I was looking for and fell in love with the first car he showed me- a 2019 Audi Q5. Once the decision was made, we waited SIX. HOURS. to complete the paperwork. In the meantime he was with other customers and I feel like very little attention was paid to us. Whatever, it's a long process I get it, but it should not have taken that long. Not 24 hours later the check engine light has gone off, hazard light popped on, and the passenger door handle came off. Absolutely RIDICULOUS for this new of a car one day after driving it off the lot. When I brought it back and spoke with Eric he acted surprised that I needed a loaner while they were looking at it. Was told it was too late in the day for that and suggested I take my car and bring back the next day (mind you, I had no idea why the engine light was on and he wanted me to drive it home??). I was able to get a loaner that day and had it signed off for two days. I go back two days later, wait another hour, just to be told I will have this same loaner for another 7 days at minimum. THEN, that same night, I get a text from Eric (salesman) saying oh just kidding, the loaner car is sold and we need to get you into a different car. They were able to bring the exchange to my workplace which I appreciate but still, this is now twice I had to step away from work to deal with this. A week goes by with no word from Roger Beasley until I reach out and finally hear my car is ready. When I went to pick it up, they said the engine light was on because it was missing the gas cap. Why was something so easily missed when they did a "vehicle check" before selling it, I don't know. Hazard lights came on because the rear backup was faulty, that was fixed but again, why and how this was overlooked is beyond me. They were able to fix the door handle as well. All of this trouble and Moe, the manager, tried to get me out the door with "the first oil change on them" when I already paid for that when I signed the paperwork. Each time I had to be there I was overlooked, salespeople just walked around chatting with one another instead of asking if they could help me, and I spent way too long unnecessarily just standing around. People are shopping for a HUGE decision and I did not feel the necessary attention and time was given. All of this to say I do NOT recommend buying your vehicles from Roger Beasley Mazda in South Austin. Poor quality checks on vehicles and even worse customer service. read more

I needed to sell my car and a friend recommended using KBB along with some other online car buying services. Through KBB, Charlie Harrell from Beasley reached out to me about buying my vehicle. He made the process incredibly easy and I feel like I got a very fair price for my car. I worried this was going to be a stressful time but with his help it all went smoothly. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell a car. read more

Charlie did a great job start to finish, and was honest throughout. He was very personable and knows his business well. We texted about my son's car I was selling, set up an appointment for the next day. It only took about 15-20mins for him to evaluate the car and then he gave me a fair offer for the car based on the KBB trade in price based on a couple issues the car has. We agreed on the price and then had the deal done in about 5mins. Then I he had the check via overnighted via FedEx. I highly recommend Charlie and Mazda Central and I'll keep them in mind for future cars I'm selling! read more

Sold my car to Charlie Harrell and it could not have been easier. Spoke on the phone to confirm details of the car, named the price I was looking to get and he ran it through to confirm whether that was doable. We agreed on a final sale price, he had the paperwork ready to go as soon as I arrived and the check deposited two days later. Smoothest and most honest transaction i have ever had at a car dealer!!

Simon in Sales! He's such a joy to work with, very kind and knowledgeable, not pushy. We are buying a Mazda5 today and also got a Mazda 3 here a couple years ago. Richard Grimm in service always takes care of us. read more

In April, we test drove a Mazda CX90 plug-in-hybrid. We liked it enough to buy it. But the Mazda team saved us money and gave us more options by suggesting a lease package. It's been great. Simon was great to work with. Since then, we've gotten great service for our regular maintenance. So, when we recently decided to sell another car, Mazda was one of the vendors we inquired with to get a fair price. Far and away, they were the best one to work with. We got a fair price and transparency, and we did NOT feel pressured at any step of the process. We worked with Charlie Harrell and he was fantastic. read more

Worked with Charlie at Beasley Mazda, and it was great. Highly recommend Charlie and his team.

Roger Beasley Central is simply the best! Charlie Harrell has been one of the most outstanding car-buying professionals I've ever worked with.

Appointment made on 1/24 for the first available appointment on 2/7 (14 days). Got 4 confirmations the day before the appointment -- 2 emails, 1 text and 1 app notification. Showed up for the Friday, 2/7 appointment to be told they were 3-4 days behind -- no loaner car available until 5 days later on Wednesday, 2/12 and then car was done late on Thursday 2/13. Was told that 2/7 wasn't an appointment to actually have a tech look at the car, but no answer on what was the appointment made for if not to have the car looked at and concern addressed! Also if you aren't going to be able to accommodate me at the appointment time, why are you sending me 4 reconfirmations? Why aren't you calling me to see what can be done? read more

We bought a new Mazda from them in 2018 and they were great. We ended up going back for a used car for our kid. She bought it and 9 months later it needs $7k worth of work, way more than it's even worth. So, we are still paying off the remaining $4k on a car that doesn't work. We went back to test drive another used car, hoping to get a good deal, given that situation, but we had a 3rd party mechanic check out the car and he said it wasn't safe to drive. We won't be back. Unless you are going to buy a new car, I do not recommend and, at this point, I have to question their integrity. read more

everything I just discussed on this review was deleted. It said I could make it as long as I wanted to, and I was notifying them of my next steps of the misrepresentation and dishonesty. Of Roger Beasley salesman's name is Taylor. I went to speak to owners of Roger Beasley, and I was assisted by the sales manager. He gave me all the paperwork which I never had when I left there. I am addressing this issue with seniors advocacy of Texas that take advantage of senior citizens of the USA, so this is what I think of the company they're dishonest and incompetent and take advantage at least of seniors I know because I am a senior and I was taking advantage of by Taylor. The salesman.... The sales manager wanted to smooth this problem over by giving me a free car wash. The salesman was asked did the have any he quoted no and when he had me sign the Carfax, he only gave me the signature page not the complete Carfax. Had no wrecks on it because it was only the signature page.. two weeks after I bought this car I called a friend in the car sales business and he told me I was taking advantage of worse around 7600 because it's two I paid over $10,000 for this car in cash. I would never ever recommend a Roger Beasley dealership.. The owners will be receiving a certified letter and defense of a senior citizen. Being abused by a car dealership that knew this car was not a sound purchase. This car should've gone to the auction. It should've never been sold to an individual. I have spent over $3000 so far on this car within one year and this was not normal wear and tear. Roger Beasley inspected the car and per a reputable tent representative the front Were illegal, which made the car illegal to inspect or sale. They sent an inspection sticker with the license plates, inspecting it with too dark of tent in the front windows... if I could give less one I would.... read more

Let's just start from the beginning...... After putting $3000 into an Equinox since the beginning of the year (A 2020 BTW), I was finally over it and just set on something reliable. I was referred by a friend to Charlie at Mazda Central. I spoke with Charlie initially by text, but when we arrived, he greeted us with ease & if you've ever bought a brand new car, you want that. He set us up with Meagan, who did all the heavy lifting for us. She consulted with us on down payment, monthly payment & interest rates. She got me approval, (I had a rough year last year & am still healing my credit a bit) and into a spot that I was comfortable with with my payment, but by the time we left, she (along with her coworkers) had bartered an extra 3 years of warranty & other incentives into my loan! If you are lucky enough to work with her, just know she will have you laughing before you even pick your car model. Jesse finished everything up with our paperwork & Meagan got everything nice & shiny to send us off! After this experience, we immediately considered trading in my boyfriend's car as well. Back to the dealership less than a week later & we were out the door with a 2nd one! *Ask about their Beasley Advantage Program, as it includes all of your maintenance for the first 3 years and loaners if they have to keep your vehicle. HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU AT ROGER BEASLEY MAZDA for giving me the opportunity to own my very first brand new car! We appreciate you all more than you know! read more
