EDITED FROM OLDER REVIEW: I read the previous negative reviews of this dealership, and hoped my own experience would be better. I was wrong. I bought a Certified Pre-Owned Mazda 3 with 38,000 miles that did NOT meet the requirements of the CPO program, and it cost me $$$ out of pocket to correct the deficiencies.

The day after buying the car one tire blew out, and the tire store where I went for service warned me that 3 of the 4 tires did not meet their recommended minimum tread depth. The 4th tire had already been replaced, but did not match the other three. So I ended up putting 4 new tires on the car after just one day.

A couple of weeks later, the battery died and tested as "Bad", which I had to replace, again at my expense. And when I took the car to a Mazda dealer in Dallas to have the A/C looked at, they told me that the recommended 30,000 mile service had not been done, which again I had to pay for.

The problem was that I live and work far from Mazda of Clear Lake and could not easily take it back there. I thought by buying a "Certified Pre-Owned" car I would be safe in avoiding these sorts of problems, but I wasn't. Let the buyer beware.
