I did not appreciate their a la carte service. I had my car door lock diagnosed and they charged me $205, the part was about $240, and the labor was $280. A total of $725 to fix a passenger door lock. I asked if the charge for the diagnosis would be absorbed since I was planning to have them fix it and they said no. This is the first time I have dealt with a dealership repair shop where the diagnosis was not absorbed into the cost to fix it. I understand charging for the diagnosis if the car is taken somewhere else to be fixed. They did not even offer 1/2 price for the diagnosis. No repair shop can fix a vehicle without diagnosing the problem. But it's ok, I bought the part and left. I will never take my car back to them under any circumstances even if I have to go to Federal Way or Puyallup. And I will tell everyone I know not to do business with them. I definitely understand Robert M's review. South Tacoma Mazda is price gouging repair shop. Jenna was no help to me either. read more

South Tacoma Mazda will joyfully sell you an unsafe car and they have all the paperwork done to protect themselves. After paying $5800 for my car I spent over $5000 to make it safe. Struts, tie rod ends, power steering belt and pump. It also had serious emissions issues which cost me another $3400. The safety inspection sticker that they put on the windshield was a lie in the case of this car. I am thankful I did not get injured during the months that it took to get the repairs. read more

Had tried to install a cabin air filter on wife's 2010 Mazda 5 a couple days ago with no success,I gave up after 3 hours and made an appointment for them to finish the instillation. Go to YOUTUBE to see what it takes to install a cabin air filter on a 2010 Mazda 5. I'm old and not as flexible as I used to be 50 years ago. Anyhow they not only finished that, they also did a full inspection of the car. They Didn't charge a dime and gave me a free car wash coupon at Brown Bear. There are still good people left in our world. read more

I brought my Mazda 3 in for service for a 60 service. The service rep. gave me service options for the $60K mile, for a range of $1100 to $1300 which involved replacing a bunch of stuff. I thought it was pricey but am a busy guy and drove a bit to get there. Honestly, they roped an idiot. I said ok. I also asked them to look at the tires because I was filling one up every two days. They tried to give it back EOD and say the tire was fine but I called and said no, look again. Oh darn it had a nail on the SECOND inspectation. After 2 tires and a cracked drive belt, I walked away with a $2900 bill. And that original $1300 because I took the higher level, was unnecessary. I finally had a chance to look at the owners manual...all of those items were listed as INSPECT. That's is where they got me. The extra repairs were needed. The $1300 was a straight up rip off for what should have been about $500 or so. Add $1100 for repairs and I should have paid $1600, suggests my reading. I have never gone to a dealer for service and realized I had to get all my info straight ahead of time. Renton Mazda never treated me that way but I moved down South. They gave me an inspection fee and then had me approve ever replace / repair and discussed pros and cons. I was a little puzzled how I could bring in a car worth $15K in perfect working order, less a tire that deflated and come out $3K poorer. I had to research it t make sure I was missing something. I was at least gouged, and perhaps ripped off. read more

Where sales is involved, I usually do not give 5 star reviews but I gotta give credit to this whole team for making me feel like I am getting what I pay for. The car sells itself with its awesome features, and amazingly for its price. The crew (special shout out to Mike and Daniel) really took their time to explain the features of my new CX-30 to me, that I'm not just one of those people who buy for "looks", although Mazda cars look beautiful. I understand how the buttons in my car works and their service team takes care of my maintenance. They take videos of what they did during the service and explain what was done with the vehicle and any issues it has, which gives an extra peace of mind! They are approachable when I have questions and during a time when I got hit by another vehicle and needed a part while my car sits at the body shop, Mike went out of his way to talk to the parts and service managers to order the missing part/look for it for me. I appreciate this whole team so much! Even though I live in Seattle, I don't mind the drive down here for my service. And I will definitely get my next car here. read more

South Tacoma Mazda - Auto Repair Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Was looking for a reliable, smaller, good mpg car and mainly considering Honda and Toyota. Had almost forgotten about how good Mazda can be. Submitted an online request which was answered quickly and actually addressed the questions I had. Most dealerships rely on automated messages and completely ignore any comments you include in the request. Jeff Mitchell in sales was extremely responsive and professional in his communications. While many dealers are still selling at or above MSRP, South Tacoma Mazda is selling theirs at invoice and more importantly... without any forced dealer add-ons. The GM and finance manager were friendly and helpful as well. They didn't have what I was looking for in stock, but were able to bring one in from another store the next day. Got a great deal on a quality car. Happy with the new Mazda 3 and the overall experience. Jeff even delivered the car to me at work because I couldn't make it to the store. Also appreciate that he took the time to go over all the features at delivery. Highly recommend. read more

Went to South Tacoma Mazda to Purchase the all new 2024 CX-90 Turbo S. Im VERY particular on who to trust while purchasing a vehicle and was blessed and lucky enough to work with Chris Wodjenski and his team. We were treated with much care, respect and zero pressure. Furthermore, upon our departure, we exited to find our new vehicle fully washed and detailed with a big red bow. We caught some family photos and we drove away in our new CX-90. We are very pleased with the quality of service . The level of integrity we recieved is phenomenal and we loooove our new CX-90! The car is absolutely amazing, elequent, roomy, sporty and everything we need and want as a family. We will always see Chris when purchasing a new vehicle and we highly recommend anyone needing a reliable and quality vehicle to head down to South Tacoma Mazda. This team is legit!! read more

For a first time buyer I wasn't pressured or gouged for my money. Chris W was really helpful on finding a car that fit into my budget and range of miles. I do appreciate all he did for me and the general manager did for me as there was a mix up and he jumped on it and settled it with no hesitation. I would highly recommend them as they are very friendly, fair, cooperative, and don't try to hide anything from you! read more

Went to the service department to have my wife's cars repaired for a roof leak that my wife just bought there 5 months ago. They did a leak test determined that the leak was coming from the drive's side roof seal. Approved the repair for over $400 and when they were finished they tested it to make sure it was not leaking and told us their was no more leak, even on the repair receipt it is clearly written that they had verified that there was No More Leak! Well 2 days later it started to rain hard and Lo and Behold it started to leak again in the same small area. Took the car back to South Tacoma Mazda and was told we have to pay for another leak test and repair. Then I said to them "now she has to pay again for the same repair twice". I don't think i'm trippin that it's not right that she has to pay for the same repair twice. I was mad and left.Why should my wife pay the price because your certified technician DID NOT properly repair the leak. Is it to much to ask that the repair be done right the first time. My wife emailed the general manager and the service manager Jenna Myrfield called us. I talked to her and told her about the issue. She continued the same line as the service advisor gave us. I told her I don't think it's right that we should pay for the same repair twice. Then Jenna started saying that we wanted everything done for free. That I don't understand how things work. Paying over $400 ain't a cheap repair. She started to get very condescending. I don't know how much she makes but $400 is a lot of money to us. Like most Americans we are having a hard time making ends meet. So I just hung up. What ever happened to the Customer Is Always Right.That's why Car Dealerships have a bad Rep.We are done with South Tacoma Mazda! See attached photo of the repair receipt down below where it is clearly written Verified That There Was NO MORE LEAK! read more

I had oil change and tire rotation this morning at So Tacoma Mazda. Asked to have tires rotated. For the second time they do not rotate my tires. They measure tread and decide not to rotate them.

My husband and I had the best customer service when purchasing our new CX-5. We worked with Chris Wodjenski who went above and beyond our expectations making sure we found the car that fit our needs. He knew that cars were not just a tool to get us from A to B and this was an important purchase for our family. He has gained a life long customer and we will tell everyone we know who's in the car buying market to go see him at South Tacoma Mazda. The entire staff from the receptionist, finance and management team were wonderful as well. read more

At the end of May we ordered a Mazda, and the whole experience from start to finish was the best car purchasing experience we've ever had at any dealership. Rachael the salesperson was the best during the whole process, gave great advice, and the additional staff in sales and finance were very helpful and friendly too. I would DEFINITELY go back here for another car. In finance the gentleman did respectfully try to sell us some additional products for optional coverage, which was expected but he was not pushy. The whole sales process was really how car buying should be but usually isn't. Just for accuracy, I'm not a bot, this is a real review and I'm actually looking at my beautiful car as I type this review. Go Mazda...and South Tacoma Mazda. read more

I had a remotely decent experience here when I was previously shopping for a car 1-2 years ago, so I decided to stop in again because we were looking to purchase another vehicle. Welp, I didn't even make it halfway through the doorway thanks to Addison. He had the biggest stinkface when acknowledging us, and proceeded to tell us to "Get the fuck out" of their dealership for inquiring about pricing. I'm not sure what kind of baggage he was carrying that day but that is unacceptable behavior and it's unbelievable that it was uttered at work, where he is getting paid to say that crap. Not only has this experience forever scarred my impression of South Tacoma Mazda, I would never recommend anyone to come near this place. read more

Absolutely hands down the best experience I've had at a car dealership. This is my 3rd time purchasing from them. I have shopped other car dealerships and always come back. The customer service is .. well if I could give them 10 stars out of five I truly would. They treat people right! Treat them with respect and kindness and have the cleanest vehicles in at least 2 counties in my experience. They are 60 miles from my home and I will make the drive every time. Many of the other dealerships local to me (I-5 cars for example) could learn more than a dozen lessons from this dealership! I recommend them to everyone, friends and family and even strangers! You can't go wrong here! read more

They listened to the specific parameters that I had in mind and located the best vehicles for that. Three test drives later I have what I believe is my best option. It's not easy changing loyalties from suzuki to jeep but Jeff Mitchell did what he could to make it easy. read more

South Tacoma Mazda - Not many female buyers want to see what's under the hood! - Auto Repair Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Chris Wodjenski went out of his way to assist me in getting into the car I wanted. He spent time looking for cars within my price range with the features I wanted. He spent a lot of time and energy to make sure I had everything I wanted. In the end, I drove off the lot with a car that was everything i wanted and more. He made himself available throughout the entire process and followed up a couple days later to make sure that I still liked my purchase. I would happily go back to him for any and all future purchases. read more

I was headed out on a road trip in my recently purchased new 2023 CX-30, and realized that the key for the locking lug nuts on my wheels was not in the kit that that came with the vehicle. The third dealership I pulled into that morning was South Tacoma Mazda. The service department there had the particular master key that fit my lock nuts. They switched out the lug nuts for 4 standard nuts (which were in the kit that came with the car), and I was back on the road, and feeling more at ease within 10 minutes. Thank you, Evan and Marlon, in the Service department. read more

Anyone who's looking to buy a new or used car has to go see Chris W. at South Tacoma Mazda. He's now sold me 3 cars - that's how great he is!

It was easy to see from other reviews that he's been at South Tacoma Mazda. I highly recommend him and their entire staff. You'll receive the best customer care! read more

Not your typical dealer experience. From start to finish Chris W. was helpful, responsive, transparent and an all-around nice guy to work with. He helped me find the right new CX-30 and I could not be more pleased. Finance was a breeze and I was out the door quickly. I highly recommend the team here at South Tacoma Mazda. read more

The Service Dept here is great. I was in today to get a wheel noise assessed. They found and fixed my problem under warranty and had me back on the road in under a half hour! All the workers there were wearing masks. A woman customer, however, came into the waiting room without one. Please be considerate and wear a mask if you're coming in to wait for your car or choose to wait outside the building. Don't put others' health at risk. read more

Fantastic service every step. That's Mike in the photo, and he was just amazing in scheduling my a/c and airbag light service, communicating every step with me, and even found a way to save me a little cash on a big repair. It was appreciated. I really enjoyed the prompt service from Marlin, their shuttle driver too. Mazda found a way to get my clock spring part in stock in record time and had my car back same day. Unexpectedly pleased. Finally, I just casually inquired about a unique piece of shop machinery (see my tires in the pic) and by way of explaining Mike did a free alignment check!

South Tacoma Mazda - Screw in my tire - Auto Repair Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

This review is largely for their service center. My Mazda3 was having some odd acceleration issues, and subsequently my "check engine" light came up on my dashboard. I'd tried multiple times to get in touch with University Mazda (they never responded), so I called up STM as I was in the neighborhood. They picked up the phone right away, which I always appreciate. Upon describing my situation I asked if I could stop by and have them take a look, which they agreed to do. From the moment I arrived I was treated with courtesy. An employee (whose name I didn't catch) pointed me in the right direction of the service center and even opened the door for me. I was helped almost immediately by Mike, who had been on the phone earlier. I have to give the biggest shoutout to Mike; he was courteous and professional right from the get-go. He came out to investigate the dashboard light, and to my surprise, he said he could probably look into the issue and fix it right then and there! I'm cynical enough that I didn't think that level of service existed anymore. We waited about an hour and a half (which is what he estimated), after which he took the time to explain the issue they found and what they did to fix it. After driving it around, I can confirm that they did in fact fix the issue! Lastly, I have to commend Mike's honesty. I have a dash cam that gives a verbal notification if anything happens while my car is parked. Usually, this is because someone shuts the door a little hard, or if the hood/trunk is shut and shakes the car. But Mike was honest enough to let me know the dash cam gave such a warning, and told me he double-checked with the technician to make sure nothing happened while the service was conducted. I really appreciated that he was candid so that I could assure him the dash cam is overly sensitive sometimes. TL;DR: Mike was great. Car was fixed. I'll be back for future service needs. read more

I was recently in the market for a new 2019 Mazda 3, and STM was one of the dealerships I was talking to. I preferred to do my business over email, so I let them know that I would only respond over emails, which they duly followed. (You'd be surprised to hear how many other dealerships bombarded me over the phone AFTER I told them to contact me only over email!). My Internet Sales Manager was Shayla P. and she was prompt and very helpful. Until the very last day, I was weighing my options between financing and leasing, and Shayla was patient enough to negotiate with me on both fronts, retrieving quotes for both Finance and Lease and offering me a good deal wherever she could. I also had some complications with my Visa, and she patiently helped me out. In the end I chose to finance my car and the price they were offering was by the best I found across all Mazda dealerships I was talking to. It happened to be lower than the Truecars price and considerably lower than the KBB price. And on top of that, they were also able to offer an excellent financing rate. Hunter V. was the Salesperson I was talking to on the day I arrived to make a deal for the car. He came to pick me up in Tacoma since I travelled from Bellevue to here (without a car!) and drove me to the dealership. He was super friendly and walked me through the entire process, and answered my questions. He also helped me get insurance for the car. Later I met with Calvin from their finance department and he too sat down and answered all my questions and was very transparent about the entire process, not trying to sell me unnecessary things I wouldn't need. Finally, Hunter gave me a detailed walkthrough of all the things I need to know about my car (and this was around 7pm, which I believe was past their closing time). Overall experience: Friendly staff, made me feel very welcomed and never pressured me into making a deal. As a first time car buyer, I felt very comfortable with STM and never felt like someone was trying to take advantage of me. Only con: I did have to wait at the dealership for longer than expected, but they comped me with a free car wash, so I guess that's okay! read more

Holy crap. Misery loves company, so does everyone lead a miserable life here? Had the unfortunate run-in with the bouncer Addison Granberry at the doorway. Surprised he's been employed for as long as he has, let alone making ANY sales. I was "greeted" by Addison where I asked to speak to a GSM about specialty pricing on a pre-ordered MX-5 to which this employee states "Why would I do that?" It was then I said "Okay, nevermind, thanks;" and as I turn to leave, he mutters "Get the fuck out of here with that shit." (His exact words) I turn back around and ask for his name to which he replies, "I'm not giving that to you." However, thank you Hunter, for introducing yourself and maintaining some professionalism; kudos for being a (STM) team player by not giving out his name either, but hopefully unlike you said, you two actually do talk to each other; must suck to not want to speak to co-workers. Shame that everyone is listed in the sales directory. Also, thank you for letting me know I chose wisely by walking away. read more

I bought a new car here in 2019. They were a little pushy but honored my TrueCar price which was a solid deal and significantly better than any Seattle dealer. And I love the car. I still come specifically here for service because their VIP deal was worth it. Oil changes and tire rotations and inspections are essentially free if you pay upfront for the VIP thing. The service guys are much friendlier than the salesmen. Overall I like this place a lot and would buy another car here. read more

The staff were so friendly and really didn't feel like we had any pressure in making such an important decision. We worked with Jeff who was very patient with us in purchasing a MX5 and even stayed waaay past closing to make sure we got a deal that would work with everyone; even the manager & other staff stayed so we were assured of the whole experience. Really glad to be apart of the Mazda family! read more
