    Happy Camper in his new whip!
    Sydney P.

    My son and I had visited a local Mazda dealership in Pleasanton where they basically told the 20 yo with a 750 credit score that no amount of money down would enable him to buy a car, unless of course I co-signed it. Cardinale MAZDA was a completely different and incredibly pleasant experience from the jump. JayR patiently went through all the trim differences, I was looking for every safety feature. My son landed on the Carbon Edition and we were handed the keys immediately for a test drive. My son was told his, "credit was good and heading towards great" and they would be thrilled to do business with him, no co-signer needed. While we didn't have much negotiation power, as literally of the two cars in this trim class, my sons car had arrived that morning and still wrapped in plastic ;) I can say that every single person from the finance guy to the young man who took his photo ringing the bell was courteous, kind and treated my son with professionalism making this a truly painless car buying experience. It was so worth the drive! (we live in Oakland)

    I was in the market for a beautiful, red SUV. Ryan Grant, Sales Manager at Cardinale GMC in Seaside scoured through the inventory at all the Cardinale locations. After answering so many questions of mine, Ryan located a gorgeous Mazda CX 9 that came w lots of safety features, and it was Soul Red Crystal metallic. Ryan arranged for me to pick up the car at Cardinale Mazda in Salinas. Raymundo ensured that the entire process went unbelievably smoothly. I've had my car almost a month and love driving it. It's fun to drive, safe and so pretty. I love it!

    SCAM! These people push a vehicle of their choice on you without informing you about the make, model, miles, price. I even got quoted $2,000 more than their website stated. Please don't ruin the next few years of your life with these people. There's A LOT better alternatives if you don't have perfect credit.

    So I decided to buy myself a car for my birthday, because hey I deserve it. And what a happy birthday it was! I purchased a certified pre-owned vehicle at Cardinale Mazda and it was hands down the best car buying experience I've ever had. They took such excellent care of me! If you want to have an amazing sales guy, ask for Victor V. He was truly a pleasure to work with, very knowledgeable and provided some of the best service any customer could ask for. He greeted me immediately and showed me exactly what I wanted to see. I had been doing my research and already had an idea of what I wanted. I was not disappointed! They had some quality models to choose from and I ended up getting an AWD CX-5. She is a beautiful dream come true! Also, going into the finance office was not only stress and pressure free, it was a joy to go over my documents with "Memo". He answered all my questions and I truly appreciate him taking the time to make sure the process went smoothly. I LOVE my new car so much, I'm so happy I decided to choose a Mazda. The crew at this dealership really went that extra mile and made my birthday the best ever! Thank you my new Mazda family!!!

    This was my first time purchasing a vehicle. Jay-R was my sales rep and he was FANTASTIC and I got the car I wanted! I had several dealerships calling w/voicemails, texting and emailing but Jay-R stood out from them all. He sent me 2 personalized videos including texting and calling. When I got to the dealership, I was very comfortable, despite the stresses of purchasing a car. Jay-R was not aggressive in trying to upsell me he was extremely friendly, easy going and patient with my questions. I cannot recommend him enough!

    See all

    Basic 60,000 mile service for a Mazda CX five was $3000 to $5000. Plus they want to charge a 3% credit card fee.

This location was…read moreonce one of my trusted repair shops, and I had confidence in the quality of their work and their commitment to their customers. Unfortunately, that trust and respect have been lost. My concerns involve the way the repair and warranty issues were handled. I was given a quote with specific amounts, only to later be presented with conflicting charges and additional costs. More concerning was the lack of support regarding the warranty on work that had previously been performed. I was told that certain actions were being taken to help me, but the outcome left me feeling that my concerns as a customer were not being prioritized. When a business says it stands behind its work, I believe that commitment should also apply when a customer returns with an issue related to a previous repair. This experience has left me questioning whether the service and pricing I received during previous visits were handled with the same level of transparency. I encourage anyone considering this shop to carefully review their estimates, invoices, warranty terms, and any additional charges before authorizing work. I sincerely hope the shop takes these concerns seriously and works toward restoring the level of trust and customer service that originally made me a returning customer. Be aware of who you take your car to get repaired. Not all shops are looking out for the customer.

Each of them telling my brakes were fine. Alex and Jim listened to my concerns let me ride with them to explain the noise and did in fact find the problem. At the same time I had another car after getting brakes somewhere else, then told I needed told I needed axle and wheel bearings and also a new transmission. I went straight to them who let me know none of that was required. That was December 2024. I have now taken 4 different cars to them. They listen and are honest, the price is under dealer prices but the work is quality of the dealership. I've had major service from brakes, water pump, struts and shocks, serpentine belt done at A1 and I'm very happy. They give me a plan and let me know what to expect. They are also very quick to return my car. Which I need because it's my work. Highly recommend. Thank you Jim and Alex.

The prices are ridiculously high for the kind of lazy service they provide. I would not trust them with my car at all. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. First and last time I ever step foot in that place.
