Bought a used mazda from this dealership. Being the car was sold as is I can accept certain things to be off. But certainly not what I had to go through. After I purchased the vehicle I noticed vibrations coming from the steering wheel and while accelerating from a stop. So a week later I took it in for a oil change and also to take a look at what the noise was. I was told "everything feels tight" and if I want I can pay 140 dollars a hour for a diagnostic. This is absurd to me being I just bought it a week ago. So I looked up any recalls on the vehicle sure enough there were 2 outstanding recalls. I got in touch with a local mazda dealership and they told me to bring it in. So I asked them also if they can check out the vibration and noise. After a diagnostic which was much less then this dealer offered it turned out to be a bad motor mount. Can you say safety issue? Also it had a blown driver side strut and leaky power steering lines. This was my first time buying a car on my own and what should be smooth transition and milestone turned into a nightmare. More than 800 dollars later my car is finally running smooth. "Delivering customer happiness "... what a joke. Also note the recalls had nothing to do with the broken motor mount and strut. It just needed the computer updated for emissions. I can expect this behavior from a used car lot but not a dealership. Which was the whole reason I even went to a dealership.
