    amazing!!!. superb customer service from Emon and Marcin, my whole experience was amazing, easy and fast, they answered all my questions and went above and beyond for my family and I, we left beyond happy with a beautiful new Mazda Cx50. I love Capistrano Mazda

    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!

    See all

    Emon sold me a car, he was extremely helpful, upfront and professional. AJ and Hugo from service are lovely; they should get a raise.

    WHO DOES THIS???? I recently went in to get a new battery. I was apprehensive to turn my car off in…read morecase they didn't have the right battery. I called the store and immediately this man named JOSE said not to worry and that he would come out to check my car. He came right out and was so kind and understanding. Said they did have the right battery and that he would install it. When he went to take out the old battery it was melded together to the terminal with corrosion. Jose took 30 MINUTES OR MORE to work on getting the terminal off. He even went back in and got some Wd40 to continue trying to get it off. He worked and worked and worked. He never gave up or suggested he couldn't do it. He did all of this while wearing his pristine grey Auto Zone long sleeve shirt and didn't get a single stain on it! I was so impressed not only with Jose's work ethic, but also by his cheerful attitude and the fact that he simply was determined to help me and not leave me or my car stranded without a battery. I am SO appreciative of Jose. This Auto Zone is kinda located in a basement area in San Clemente, so it might be easy to miss. But I will search it out again and again simply because of your employee, Jose! I did ask Jose who his boss was and wanted to make sure this message gets to Joe Peckett.

    THESE GUYS ARE THE REAL DEAL!…read more My radiator and thermostat decided to completely ruin my week, and thankfully the repair was covered through Endurance. I'll be honest -- dealing with the warranty process was a pain in the ass at first. But Logan and Kyle went above and beyond to help me navigate it and get the job handled. And let me say this: these guys are badass. I've been a GM in the automotive industry, so I KNOW the struggle. I know how many shops can make a repair into a headache, nickel-and-dime you, or leave you wondering what the hell is going on with your vehicle. I'm also usually nervous as hell leaving my car with a shop. Not here. With the new ownership, Logan and Kyle made me feel completely comfortable. Great people, extremely knowledgeable, honest, and they actually give a damn about their customers. I dropped my car off and honestly didn't blink an eye because I knew it was in good hands. That kind of trust is hard to find in the automotive business. I even hooked the guys up with some sandwiches from work as a small thank-you -- because when someone takes care of you, you take care of them. Logan & Kyle -- thank you guys! You earned a customer for life and I'll have absolutely no problem sending friends, family, coworkers, and anyone else your way. New ownership. Great people. Great knowledge. Great customer service. 10/10 -- These are the guys you want working on your car.
