DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS DEALER.
I purchased a new Mazda CX-50 Hybrid from Doug's Lynnwood Mazda on June 9th, 2026. Because it was late at night, the vehicle was located in the holding lot and covered in pollen. My salesperson stated they would wash it and have it ready for pickup the following day, June 10th.
When I picked up the vehicle on June 10th, I immediately noticed the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light was illuminated on the dashboard. Upon arriving home that same day, I attempted to open the hood and discovered the hood release latch was completely missing. I immediately contacted my salesperson, who assured me these issues would be fixed. Shortly after, I also discovered several large scratches on both the paint and the exterior plastic molding. I took photo evidence and sent it to the salesperson right away. He again assured me the dealership would address the issues.
Over the next few weeks, I had to send text after text just to get an update. I finally dropped the vehicle off for repairs on June 30th. After 12 days of minimal communication and checking for updates, I was finally told to come inspect the vehicle on Saturday, July 11th, 2026.
Upon arrival, I was deeply disappointed. While a few scratches were gone, several remained, and new scratches had been added to the vehicle. Furthermore, the dealership had simply applied a shining oil over the plastic molding scratches to temporarily hide them. When I expressed my frustration respectfully, the salesperson brought out General Sales Manager Oscar Mejia. Instead of offering a solution, he defensively asked me, "What do you want us to do, paint the whole car?"
Despite his unprofessional tone, I remained calm and respectful. The salesperson then told me they would explore options and that either the GSM or the General Manager would call me. Today is Aug 11th, 2026, and I have received zero communication. To make matters worse, I washed the car today, which removed the shining oil and revealed all the "fixed" scratches. The front driver-side plastic molding now shows clear discoloration.
It is incredibly stressful to pay full price for a brand new vehicle, only to receive it with an active warning light, a missing mechanical part, and body damage. Doug's Lynnwood Mazda held my car for 12 days, failed to fix the initial problems, added new damage, and completely ignored me. Their business model appears to be securing the sale and then abandoning the customer. I will never purchase another vehicle from this dealership, and I will actively warn others about their poor service and lack of accountability. I have attached photo evidence of all the damage.
I have contacted the management team and have received no response. read more
