    Form LAW 553-CA-ARB-eps which was being forced upon us despie paying cash in full.

    Feedback for Capistrano Mazda April 7, 2025 My daughter and I visited Capistrano Mazda intending to purchase her first car--a 2022 Nissan Leaf listed on Cars.com. Instead, we left disappointed, misled, and deeply concerned about the dealership's practices. I initially contacted Emon via the Cars.com app. He said he'd be out when we arrived but assured us we'd be taken care of. However, when we arrived on April 2, 2025, we were surprised to find Emon present and assigned salesperson Rick, who admitted he knew nothing about the car. This was not the "100% taken care of" experience we were promised. Rick's behavior during the test drive was inappropriate--urging my cautious daughter to "drive aggressively." The car appeared mostly clean, but we found dirt in the back and the owner's manual inside the charging bag--details they should have addressed beforehand. Back inside, Rick offered only one financing option: 8.49% APR, with no perks for first-time buyers. We opted to pay in full, either by cash or manager's check. However, Rick insisted my daughter fill out a Mazda financing form. When I questioned why this was necessary for a cash purchase, he couldn't give a clear answer, only saying it was "standard." When we tried to leave, a manager named Moe intervened and confirmed the form wasn't required. He then discouraged us from paying cash, claiming it "takes too long to count," offering instead to accompany us to the bank for a manager's check. As we resumed paperwork, Rick was passive-aggressive and defensive. When I said he was forcing a finance form on us, he snapped, "We'll get rid of you," referring to switching paperwork from my name to my daughter's. Poorly worded and inappropriate. Shockingly, Rick tried again to get my daughter to sign another credit form--twice attempting to push unnecessary financing paperwork. He again confirmed with management that it wasn't needed. Even worse, he offered to "gas up" the electric vehicle and mentioned "oil changes," highlighting his lack of knowledge. Though we were paying in full, our paperwork went to the "Financing" department. There, they told us we could pay via debit or credit card, eliminating the need for a bank visit. While I confirmed the payment with my bank, my daughter was asked to sign a LAW 553-CA-ARB-eps contract--meant for financed purchases--despite our cash payment. The finance rep Paul said the contract "didn't apply" to us but still required a signature. This document clearly indicated we were financing the vehicle, which was not true. We finally left around 7:30 PM, exhausted from two hours of back and forth. Rick claimed he'd follow up to "help," but we never heard from him again. This experience, especially for a first-time buyer, was unacceptable. We were misled, pressured, and subjected to unnecessary paperwork that misrepresented the transaction. I'm disappointed my daughter's long-anticipated purchase was marred by poor communication, shady sales tactics, and a lack of professionalism. Shame on Mazda and this dealership for attempting to force financing forms on a cash buyer. This experience has left us distrustful of the entire process, and we'll avoid dealerships whenever possible. Sincerely, Richard Sanchez

    My new ride! CX30.

    Farouz is fantastic! She hooked me up two leases in a row. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful. I switched my Mazda 3 to a CX30 and as usual, Mazda is an awesome car. Perfect size as my kids are getting a little bigger now. Highly recommend Mazdas but more than that I highly recommend this location as the place is clean and everyone is very professional and super friendly. Outstanding service. I maybe a Mazda driver for life!

    Rick and Paul were great to work with! Despite the nationwide hack that was going on during my purchase, the entire process was a breeze! If you're looking into getting into a Mazda, you need to visit Capistrano Mazda and ask for Rick! He knows his Mazdas and is a total gem!

    I didn't respond until later in day? I think not.

    All of that response to my review is perspective and rewriting history also blaming me for the situation I did respond to the appointment that we had at 2 o'clock and the dealership was not busy that day was pretty empty inside when I got there. I didn't come in to your store the day before Christmas to give you a teaching moment, I came to buy a car. Spin it anyway you like I would not do business with you or Mazda. Note the sales person has 2 phone numbers. He, not me ,did not respond either time.

    The customer service is always excellent. I appreciate them lending out their car to me while diagnosing my car recently.

Reserved, soft‑spoken, and incredibly professional -- the kind of salesperson who listens instead of pushing. He understood exactly what I wanted and never tried to steer me in another direction. Even though I now realize the Touring model might have been the better choice, I have absolutely no regrets because working with Aoude was worth everything. I'll be returning to him when it's time to buy my kids' cars. The dealership itself has such a warm atmosphere. They even have a little dining bar in the back for customers who are waiting. Diane, who runs it, makes the best sandwiches. Nothing fancy -- just made with love. She is truly one of the kindest people we've met, and she made the long process feel so much more comfortable. I live two minutes away from another service center, but I'll be driving 20 minutes to this dealership from now on because their customer service is unmatched. The only part of the experience that could be improved was with the finance manager, Edgar. He was polite, but a bit pushy about add‑on services and asked me three times what color I chose. Listening is important, and I hope he improves in that area because the rest of the team sets such a high standard. Overall, I highly recommend this dealership -- especially Aoude Safwat. He made the entire experience smooth, respectful, and stress‑free.

I ordered floor mats for my car, but they were too light for my liking and I called to return them, fully expecting an argument (as is frequent, these days), but Rick heard me out, and politely responded that he understood and would send a return label immediately. I was pleasantly surprised. I sent the mats back, but, didn't see the funds returned and called the co. Someone, equally polite, answered, listened to me patiently, told me that he'd give me the number for the store, as this was his personal number: he was the CFO! I was bowled over that he answered, and took the time to listen and help me with the information; including the manager's name, who he said would be willing to help me, as well. Well, I didn't need to speak to her, because, once again, I reached Rick and he got to researching the issue, right away, and resolved my problem. How could I NOT write a review about this amazing experience, these wonderful people and sterling service?! I felt as if I was taken decades back to another era! Thank you, Rick, Steve!!

I crawled under my truck to have a look but could not see anything actively leaking from the water pump, even though that is the point of origin. No motor components above the water pump have water passing through them. I called Tuttle Click Ram in Tustin to see if the water pump had to be actively leaking to get it replaced under their 100K bumper to bumper warranty, even though the purple coolant stains are originating at the water pump. One of their service writers I've worked with in the past, told me it absolutely has to be actively leaking to get it replaced under warranty. I sat on Tuttle Clicks response for a couple days frustrated they look for any way to wiggle out of taking care of a warranty problem. I gave Coastline Ram a call, told their service writer the exact same thing I explained to Tuttle Click's service writer in Tustin. Instead of giving me the run around, Coastline said they would absolutely be able to replace the water pump under warranty but would pressure test the cooling system to verify the leak - standard, prudent protocol. Tuttle Click never gave me that option. Kudos to Coastline Ram! Fast forward a few days, brought my truck to Coastline for the scheduled leak check/repair, the service write asked me if there were any other concerns I wanted them to look at since I had a $100 deductible. I also mentioned I was getting the notorious 5.7 hemi lifter noise intermittently. Coastline called me later that afternoon to inform me the water pump was being replaced under warranty, as well as, all the lifters. I have to give high praise to Coastline Ram for making their service writers accessible by phone. As a contrast, Tuttle Clicks service writers are almost impossible to get a hold of, & they're horrible at returning calls. I would highly recommend Coastline Ram for their helpfulness, and willingness to make warranty repairs!
