I haven't bought a new car from here, but I have dealt with the Service department several times…read more They have done a great job keeping my old car on the road. It's old and they don't make 'em any more, but the staff at Paretti have never given me attitude or shown any reluctance to work on it. This has happened to me before with other old cars (I keep them a long time if I like them) and service attempts at other dealers (I don't keep them if I don't like them). I find I would rather bring my Mazda here than the local shops I use for my other vehicles. The showroom and waiting areas are modern and clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and they don't treat me like an idiot who doesn't know anything about cars. The sales guys always try to sell me a new one to replace the old, but they aren't pushy about it. The service work has been great so far - no return trips to straighten out something that didn't get right the first time. I will gladly go back again. When my car finally dies I might go buy the next one from them.

STEALERSHIP! let me…read morestart by saying I had a pleasant time dealing with the sales folks, nothing wrong there. Don't.....DONT even think about dealing with service at this place. I had a FAULTY cracked infotainment screen which Mazda has admitted it is such and I called up the corporate latter and was told it's typically a $500-750 fix (not great but i figured typical dealer markup) , so I go set up a service appointment at the dealership. Ask the service rep how much just to confirm, she goes typically between $500 dollar mark. NOPE NOPE NOPE. THIS STEALERSHIP WANTED NEARLY 2K to fix a screen crack on a screen the size of a IPAD mini. I talked to the rep and she's like don't worry we can definitely lower the price on that. I go look at the price breakdown and they had me near the $400 range for labor ALONE! For what Mazda claims is a 30 minute fix and I even found the technician service guide (all they do is replace the unit with the SAME FAULTY UNIT) they can't be bothered by taking 2 seconds to take the 2 SCREWS off the display and replace the screen (25-100$ DIY Fix FYI). After I called out the service manager about the labor he told me he dropped the labor price! After checking it went down $100 bucks. YA BUDDY STILL 290$ FOR A 12 MINUTE YOUTUBE VIDEO JOB, HOW MANY MAZDA TECHNICIANS DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE A SCREEN. In the end they still wanted nearly 1400 to fix an iPad! Do not service your car here. Wouldn't trust them to fix a damn thing. I'll drive to Gulfport and go to Jay Allen Mazda before I even think about Paretti.

I just want to start off by saying I have been buying cars from dealerships for over 25+ years and…read moreI had the worse buying experience at Bill Hood Chevy in Covington, LA. First I got stuck with a new salesman named Grant who didn't know anything about the used car I was looking to buy for my son. He brought the car from the back, I noticed the windshield was cracked in several places and asked if they were going to replace it and he said no because the car is priced to sell as is. I have never heard a dealership not replacing a windshield before selling it to the public. Anyways, I got in the car after I looked at it and proceeded to test drive it. Grant tells me he personally test drove the car and it was in excellent working order with no issues and it was fully inspected by the service department but then I noticed when I stepped on the brakes it made a rattling noise and I alerted him about it. He acknowledged that it was making a rattling noise and acted surprised. We get back to the dealership and we started doing the paperwork on it and he says good news..we are going to fix the windshield but the car hasn't been through our Service department for inspection..?? I ended up buying the car because my son need a "dependable" car and the used car market at this time was thin because of the results of the pandemic. I left the car there so that it could go through inspection and get the windshield fixed along with the brake tag. Well the next day comes and Grant tells me the car is ready to be picked up but the car wasn't ready because the windshield was still not replaced and the guy that does the replacement won't be there till Saturday. Saturday morning comes and I drop off the car at 8:30 am and I gave the keys to Grant and reminded him that they need to make sure they put the brake tag on the new windshield and he said they would do it. As the day went on I didn't get any status updates and it was 5pm already and they closed at 6pm so I texted Grant to see if the car was ready. He told me he would check and get back to me but he never did. My wife had to call up to the dealership to check the status and they told her it was ready. She drops me off at the front at around 5:45pm and I went inside to get the keys. They page Grant on the intercom and he comes out with the key and tells me the car should be parked somewhere on the side of the building and tells me to hit the panic button on the key to find it instead of going to get it and parking it in the front for me. I walked the parking lot until I find it and I noticed that they still didn't put the new brake tag on the windshield. I go back inside and I see Grant talking to another customer so I waited there until he was done. I was approached by another salesman (Brad Pitt) to see if I needed help I told him I needed a brake tag to be put on my car so I can leave because I had things to do. Grant comes and tells Brad the sticker is in the file on his desk. Brad just stood there with a confused look on his face and I tell him to hurry up and tells me that he didn't know anything about it and I didn't have to be an "idiot". I got upset and we exchanged words. UPDATE: A lil less than a year after my purchase the engine light starts to blink and the car starts to run poorly. Take it to a local repair shop and they tell me it needs a tune up: spark plugs, head gasket, timing belt, bad coil, etc.What kind of inspection did they do at Bill Hood?

Sure enough after using Google lens to investigate one of the pictures used on their site, i found all the pics posted at another auction site with a YouTube video posted two years ago.

My mother who has not driven in over 18 years and not in sound mind signed a contract for a brand new car, even though she has NO INCOME and hasnt worked for 20 years. In all my years I have never heard of a dealership not verifiing income. Neither my monther or her granddaughter have valid drivers license or any type of income. But they let them drive of the lot with the car. We went the very next day to see if the dealership would let my dementia parent return the car as it had only been 24 hours but they were told too bad! Also we asked how they slept at night having a 83 year old women not in right mind and could pass away at any time sign a 40k car loan for a car worth 18k, they said they slept like babies on 3000 thread count sheets, and doesn't matter to them. They wouldnt even consider doing the right thing. And before the owner comes on here saying this isnt true, we have it all recorded. Update** I am in no way a salemens or in the car business.

Their website showed a dealer and financing discounts that made the price very attractive. We contacted dealer (Taylor was the salesperson) to get info on trading our current car, submitted all requested info and photos about our trade, and were quoted a trade-in value that would be acceptable to us. We asked for the deal to be sent to us in writing for review, which Taylor promptly did. We were told that Kia of Covington prided itself on simple, honest, upfront transactions so were were optimistic and anxious to get the written quote. Being a number-crunching-nerd, I ball-parked what I thought the quote should look like. When we got the quote, it was about $7400 more that I was expecting. The trade in allowance was wrong, the doc fee was wrong, the sales taxes were wrong, and they added a "window etching" fee and a separate "Government Fee" that I still don't understand. After a few phone calls they adjusted the number to make it "only" $3150 more that we were let to believe/quoted (misled) it would be. What we hoped would be a simple and clean transaction, became very complicated and created mistrust and frustration. My advice? If you are shopping at Kia of Covington, check the numbers, challenge anything that looks wrong, don't let them add any BS charges or fees in the contract. And if you feel yourself getting frustrated, it's time to just walk away. There are other dealers.

Northlake Auto South- Hammond, LA This whole experience was…read morevery frustrating and disappointing. I felt pressured and bamboozled through most of the process. I would've left less stars, but Sammy and his team did try to "Make it right" by apologizingand offering to deliver the vehicle to my work or home, however, at some point there's just no way to salvage a completely sour experience. Advice: DO NOT buy a vehicle that is not ready to drive off the lot with you! That was my BIGGEST mistake! But I was assured that there was minimal issues with the vehicle and that it would be ready in about a week. Once I signed the paperwork, communication was minimal. I had to continue to call in every day or two for updates. Each time, I was told the mechanic was working on it all day and had found another issue with it that would be fixed in a day or two. Each time, I was told I'd get a phone call the next day that usually didn't come. At first it was just a rim and a tire, no mechanical issues. That was fixed and then it was a hose and an oil leak. When those were fixed it was topping off the fluids and a test drive, and I could pick it up. Once that was done and I was at the dealership with a friend to drive my other vehicle, it was a leak in the water pump. Although I THOROUGHLY appreciate them not allowing a damaged vehicle to knowingly drive off the lot, this vehicle should've never been allowed to be sold without a proper inspection. I was told that they "lost a mechanic" that week. So, I don't know if maybe that mechanic had dropped the ball in the original inspection. But, I just feel a little taken advantage of, because I was trusting enough to sign papers on a vehicle I hadn't test driven, cause I was ASSURED the only issue was the rim and tire. I even asked what the protocol was for having my own mechanic do an inspection and was told "oh no, don't worry about that, we'll take good care of you, you won't need to have it inspected". Here we are, 9 days later, no vehicle, no update phone call by the afternoon. Buuuut...the thank you card did come in the mail several days ago, so that's fun, right?!
