A rare find!
We visited/contacted all 4 Mazda dealerships in Calgary as part of our purchase preparation for a Mazda CX5. Our personal experience was by far the best with North Hill Mazda. The other 3 dealerships be it in person or over the phone left us with the unfortunately "typical" strong aftertaste that a lot of people associate with car dealerships e.g. pushy sales people, a lot of up charges such as "mandatory" dealer accessory packages for an absurd amount of money, not much transparency and so on. Then we went to North Hill Mazda prepared to experience the same "spiel". There we met Danielle in sales. She was very helpful, respectful warm and friendly ( we did a rely long and thorough test drive to make sure we like the car) . So we decided to make an offer to purchase. They only made one gentle attempt to sell us addons such as window edging, nitrogen tires fill, paint protection etc. but we only had to say "no thank you" once and after that they let it go. We knew through our research exactly how much we should get for our trade in and how much we should pay for the new vehicle (third party info such as blackbook and autotrader /we also searched the used car marked listings to compare prices. We used carcost and unhaggle for the new vehicle info ). David, the sales manager was a rely nice guy to deal with, he was truthful and upfront with all the info's he provided such as the dealer invoice price and more ( that we all where able to confirm with our 3rd party info mentioned above). All in all during the purchase process there were at least 3 major instances where they proofed to us repeatedly that they were trustworthy (each time we checked with our own research) in the past with other Dealerships we where often lied to so that is a big deal to us!
This was our 5th new vehicle purchase in 20 years and it was by far the most pleasant and enjoyable experience we had.
Thanks to the outstanding and enjoyable service through Danielle and David we would not hesitate for a second to recommend this dealership to our family and friends!
Ps, it rely helps to do your research before you go car shopping !!
