BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!! THE OLD BATE AND SWITCH IS ALIVE AND WELL AT DUBLIN MAZDA!!!!!!! On 1/9/2021 we took out on our adventure to purchase a new car. After looking at some other dealerships we decided to go to Dublin Mazda to inquire about the Mazda 3 hatchback. We were approached by a salesman by the name of Elvis Nessari. Elvis was very helpful and seemed very knowledgeable about his products (which adds to the confusion). We specifically told Elvis we were only interested in a 2020 model due to the offered incentives. Elvis stated he understood and showed us his selection. We elected to take the car we were interested in on a test drive. We were pleased with the car and wanted to sleep on our decision. We asked for a copy of the window sticker and off we went. On the way home we discussed the pros and cons of the Mazda and before we pulled into our driveway we had made the decision to purchase the car. That's when things got interesting. I looked at the copy of the window sticker that Elvis provided. Right away I noticed the sticker was for a 2021 Mazda 3 Hatchback. However, the document detailed the vehicle we had taken for a test drive, It listed the "heads up display" and 19" black rims, both of which was on the car we had driven. I was really confused, because this was the same car Elvis told us was a 2020, the car we really wanted and the same car that we sat in Elvis office for over 45 minutes going over the final numbers. Realizing the window sticker was for a 2021 I called back to Dublin Mazda and spoke with Alex the Sales Manager. I told Alex about the mix up with the window sticker and asked him to email me the correct one. At this point I had assumed this was a simple mistake. However, then I received the email from Alex. I noticed that the trim lines were different. This car did not have the "heads up" display or the 19 inch black rims, (both were things we told Elvis we really liked when we came back from the test drive). There were also other differences between the two cars, like the Preferred had "leather like" seats and the Premium had leather seats and finally the price point for the Premium was a couple thousand more than the Preferred. Making the deal even less attractive because we were now settling for a car with less incentives which meant less savings. That's when it hit me! This no longer felt like a mistake. This was more than just a mix up of window stickers. Dublin Mazda showed me a product, let me test drive that product and we spent almost an hour coming to an agreement for the cost of said product and at no time did Elvis say and or give any impression that the car we had driven was not the car that he intended to sell us. Had I not noticed the window sticker Dublin Mazda would have sold us a car that was less equipped, and less expensive than the model we thought we were purchasing. WHY? Could it be, this is a normal practice for Dublin Mazda? There are no body changes between the 2020, and 2021 Mazda 3 Hatchbacks, maybe people don't really notice the subtle differences. Could it be because both me and my better half are African American and therefore it was okay to provide us with a less than honest service. Either way my experience did not "feel" right. We will still purchase our Mazda, but Dublin Mazda is not an option. read more

I have been going to this Mazda since getting my car and have had no complaints before now. A month ago I got an oil change and I heard a weird dragging noise from underneath my car. I looked and noticed the panel was only secured on the front and not the back so it was dragging on the ground. I drove hundreds of miles and am lucky it stayed on. My car could have been seriously damaged if I had not noticed and I had to go under and secure it with zip ties because I did not have time to go back and get it secured. read more

I had an issue with my navigation Icons appearing on screen{especially WASE. So I went by Dublin Mazda and Frank Gonzales {service advisor} got in car with me and had my issue resolved in less than 3 minutes. Thanks, Frank for EXCELLENT customer service with a smile. It was operator error, which I wouldn't have known, if Frank hadn't explained it to me! Frank is very patient, professional and VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. read more

Keith Akbar is an excellent Car salesman and helped me buy my first Mazda car. The process was seamless, with no sales tricks, and took around 60 minutes. He is a friendly and genuine person. I strongly recommend Keith. read more

The wife and I live in Union City. There are a few Mazda dealerships closer to us, but after some research, Ken Harvey's Dublin Mazda seemed to have the largest selection and the vehicle criteria we were looking for. We showed up on a Saturday morning, and we were introduced Keith Morita. Our experience with him spanned from Saturday (for test drives; 3 of them) into Sunday to run numbers. The wife and I agree...our time with Keith was the most pleasant, honest, and NO-pressure experience we have had shopping for a car, and we've bought/leased our fair share. Knowledgeable, personable, interesting...it felt like a longtime friend ushering and advocating for us through the process. In the end, we got a great deal on the beautiful 2019 Mazda3 Hatchback. We recommend Keith to anyone who wishes for an honest, human experience in searching for your ideal vehicle. Here he is in the photo just as we were about to leave the lot, making sure we were completely set. As a whole, Dublin Mazda's chill approach and environment contributed to set us at ease in finding the vehicle we eventually decided on. We exited the weekend with a sense of accomplishment. Thank you once again, Keith read more

My review is for the sales person more than the dealership. My daughter and I went in looking for a car for my daughter. We had the pleasure of having Keith Morita assist us. Keith was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. Although, we unfortunately didn't find the perfect car for my daughter at Dublin Mazda, I found a sales person that I will DEFINITELY be returning to for my future car purchases. Keith is a stellar person and I cannot recommend him enough. Go see Keith you won't be disappointed or let down.. read more

This specific review is for the service department, I've always brought my car in for service here and every time, these guys do one hell of a job making sure my car is in tip top shape. They do a thorough inspection and they give me a great car wash afterwards. The icing on the cake was when I brought my car in a couple of weeks ago. Jesus, the service manager helped me, he noticed that my tires were missing one wheel lock in each tire. I didn't even realized it, but he was extremely attentive in the matter and he explained to me that it wasn't safe. I really appreciated it because I just got my tires done in a different place. Jesus actually took the time to explain everything because he was concern for our safety. I thought that was the awesomest thing, his service and the technicians doing a great job every time is the reason why I continue read more

Great car buying experience here. Love my new CX-5 Premium. I have to say, Mazda really has their cars dialed in now, and the dealer experience reflected that as well. The cares live in that sweet spot between value and luxury that I love. read more

I've never purchased a vehicle from this dealership before. I was looking for a specific color which was available in Dublin or Reno only. I asked to be connected to a sales person and got Dan Gruen. All of us know salesman can be very pushy so I had my guard up. He was not one bit stereotypical of a salesman. He was knowledgeable, helpful, accommodating honestly if I know of anyone looking for a Mazda, I will go out of my way to recommend dealing with Dan. This is the very first time in my life, that I have been completely satisfied in every aspect of purchasing a new vehicle Thank you Dan for being outstanding read more

Brought my car in for routine oil change, filter replacement, and tire rotation. I had them check my brakes. I actually thought they needed to be replaced for two years now. We caught it before it caused damage to the rotors. Since the work cannot be completed before the end of the day, I was lent a 2018 Mazda 3 for Sunday for Monday return. It was fun driving the new car since it was a car I had been fond of since the redesign. Paul Carozza helped me throughout the entire process. He had pulled up the loaner by my car so I can easily transfer some of my much needed cargo. When I came back to settle the score, he was able to find me some discounts. Every little bit (of savings) count this time of year. His shift was over. He was ready to go but that was when I remembered I had left my magnetic vent clip in the other car. He was patient and good-natured about my absent-mindedness. He's a true asset to the team. On a side note, I had a chance to test-drive with Keith Morita. He was incredibly informative and also not the aggressive type, so it felt like a pressure-free experience. I learned a lot about the Mazda 3. He also offered advice on trade-ins. If you are in the market for a Mazda, I highly recommend asking for Keith to help you. read more

GO TO KEITH, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED ! To start out car shopping can be tedious and overwhelming. After going to multiple car dealerships and just feeling as if none of the cars/salespeople impressed us we decided to stop by this Mazda dealership. Me and my Fiancé were looking to get a smaller size suv but never looked into Mazda. We didn't know much about them. When we went in we sat down with Keith and he was OUTSTANDING and very accommodating since we had our 4 month old pup with us. My fiancé and I hate the feeling of the pressure salesmen put on you but not with Keith. He truly cares about what you want and what your needs are. He went through the whole history of Mazda and good/bad pros/cons. He answered any and every question we had. He made first time car buying an absolute pleasure and I will be referring all my friends/family to him. read more

Hate my Mazda... HATE it. The car locking system sucks, the gas isn't good on it, I'll never get use to it. I bought the car 6 months ago from here and have had to pay for registration and now need to buy new brakes because we'll Mazda says it's something we all need to do eventually.

Mazda had a "Essential Car Care Program for Educator" which offered a free oil change, interior/exterior cleaning and inspection. It was nearby and we needed service so I made an appointment. It ended up being a big waste of time because we did NOT get the service offered. 1. Old signage without pertinent information: there is a sign at the Service Entrance that says you have to call (but no number was listed) but you actually don't have to call and can walk right in. 2. Mobile app lacks information: After arrival, the advisor said that they do not have tools to service my car, a Toyota Prius. The advisor said it's listed on their website. I double checked this and did not see where this information appears when booking. I did see this in the program guidelines, which says "the following vehicles which are not eligible: exotic vehicles, classic car vehicles, off-road vehicles, and vehicles with greater than 8-quart engine oil capacity or any other vehicles with special manufacturer requirements or that require specialized tools or training." I suppose I'm not aware of how special my car is...? 3. Advisor unhelpful: If you only service Mazdas, then have a sign that say so. When you see cars pulling into the entrance that's not a Mazda, let the customer know instead of making them wait just to then tell them they cannot be helped. Also, no tools to do the oil change doesn't mean the interior/exterior cleaning and inspection can't be done (which I signed up for). Overall, bad experience and seems like the program is false advertisement. read more

A big thanks for quality service and support, specifically from Frank G over at Dublin Mazda. After I bought my CX-5, I brought my car to this location and have not thought of going anywhere else since. I've received great service from a number of individuals at Dublin Mazda, but Frank has gone above and beyond to ensure my car got the care I was hoping for. Nearly 50k miles of great service, and not a thought of going anywhere else! Thanks for looking out Frank read more

Surprise surprise, just like they decided they could fix my car after the first time I had to threaten a review and lawyers, they suddenly managed to put my check in the mail after posting this. Just goes to show they absolutely count on people not sticking up for themselves, and that they believe they can take advantage of people, and try to steal money that isn't theirs. SO shady!!! Notice how the manager refuses to even acknowledge this review or anything that's been said? Because they can't even TRY to defend their shady business practices. read more

Dublin Mazda - Car Dealers Near Me - Dublin, California

This review is a reflection of my experience with the service center and not the sales team. I bought my car from this dealership back in 2016 and have loyally taken it there for maintenance without questioning cost and never shopping around. A couple years ago we were due for new tires and asked for recommendations from the service center. They recommended the same tires that were on the car when we bought it and since we didn't have any issues for the last 40k miles with those tires, we agreed to go ahead with them. Fast forward to today and the tires barely lasted 2 years and did not even reach 25k miles. I asked the service center why these same tires lasted only 25k miles this time around and they said that they typically don't recommend those tires because they are too soft. I was never told this when purchasing the tires and would have definitely considered other options if I had this information at the time. Unfortunately, they did not offer any solutions other than purchasing new tires through them. I would highly recommend going somewhere else for ongoing maintenance of your Mazda. Also purchased a car from the Honda dealership next door which has the same owner. Loyalty is not valued here. I'm glad I found this out now before purchasing the cx-90 we had our eyes on. read more

Keith Morito helped look for a car for me. The car did not work for out and he was STILL so nice. He was very professional and pleasant. Thanks Kevin. read more

Got a better and personalized care than in mazda concord where they don't respect the client. Service maintenance paul carroza was great. The waiting that I usually hate when I go to the dealership was correct. I usually call a mechanic at home because of that. read more

Dan is the man. Brought my used CX5 from him. Such a sweet guy who took the time to really get to know my wants and needs like a good salesman should. Answered all my questions without beating around the bush. Seems sincere in wanting customer to get what they want and need. His manager who stepped in to try and close the deal did not make anyone in my family feel warm and fuzzy. Seems like he should. As I too am a sales manager, I believe my job is to help my rep. Not to lose the deal and not to bulldoze to the close. Build some rapport like Dan did and maybe we would have had a deal. And don't shake hands especially with what's going on. Or at least don't assume it's ok with everyone to shake hands. Thankfully Dan circled back to follow up and we closed the deal the following week. read more

Recently purchased a new vehicle with the assistance of John C. It was a great process, he explained everything in great detail and was a pleasure to work with! Would definitely recommend Dublin mazda and John Candelaria!! read more

David Reyes showed exceptional customer service and went out of his way to help me out with my maintenance questions and concerns.

Dublin Mazda - A Tesla Car - Car Dealers Near Me - Dublin, California

We left Dublin Mazda feeling very disappointed as our time was not valued. No one approached us as we circled the lot. Once we approached a salesman, George, we were met with hesitation. Not sure why this was the case, but it showed us we were not valued customers. He let us know he was tired, so we left disappointed as we were eager to buy from Mazda. read more

Brought my Mazda in for service yesterday and experienced more excellent customer service from Dublin Mazda. David R. was my service advisor and he was thorough and efficient and courteous. Car was done on time and I received a mid-week service discount! The video they sent showing me the underside of the car, suspension, brake condition, etc. was excellent. And the car was washed and vacuumed to boot! I'm a loyal customer for life! read more

Wow! I can't say enough about George and the whole team at Ken Harvey Mazda in Dublin! My experience getting a beautiful new Mazda 3 was fantastic from start to finish! I stopped by Dublin Mazda to do a quick test drive of the zippy Mazda 3. As soon as I walked in, George immediately came up and offered to help. Even though I was on a limited time schedule, George was happy to accommodate me and let me take the car for a spin. After a nice test drive, I shared with him that I had an appointment later that day with Fremont Mazda because it seemed like they had the best lease deal. Once George heard the deal, he said that he would try to match it and take my Honda for a trade-in. Since I was on my way to a luncheon, I told him that I would touch base with him later. In the end, I decided to go with Dublin Mazda for several reasons. They are honest and honor the price they quote, they really try to work with you with your trade-in, they don't try to pressure you into buying a bunch of extra things, they are patient and helpful about explaining how to work all the bells and whistles, but most of all they are wonderful people to work with! Special thanks to George who was so friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. Thanks to Keith for letting me borrow his iPhone charger when my battery was running low. (Now that's customer service!) A shout-out to John in finance who took the time to explain everything in detail, but didn't make me feel pressured to buy things I couldn't afford. And a big thank you to the manager who understood my budget and really tried to work with me to give me a price that I could afford. read more

I had a great experience today at Dublin Mazda. I happened to find the exact car I was looking for at a great price. The buying process was quick and painless. Our sales representative, Clive, was super nice and easy to work with. If you are looking for a new car, talk to Clive! read more

Dublin Mazda - New ride! - Car Dealers Near Me - Dublin, California

Unfortunately this dealership is a joke. They do not care about customers or their time. Setup an appointment for a test drive. Yesterday I talked with a sales rep Keith Akbar who was quick to try to close the sale on the phone. Once I drove 45 minutes to get to Dublin for the test drive today 5/5/2020 he asked me if I wanted to look at other cars. Had to pry out of him why - turns out the manager Ken has been using it for a week and it was dirty. I let Keith know I was coming by almost a day ahead of time to come look at the car. Said it would take an hour to get it ready when they made a point of setting an appointment but didn't honor their end. Waste of time. Sad that during this time where people don't have jobs this dealership doesn't care for anyone's business. Keith seemed more concerned about his Saturday appointment for this vehicle than the appointment he had right in front of him. I would never buy a car from this Dealership. read more

My husband and I were looking to buy a 3-row SUV and must've visited every dealership in Dublin (and met a number of rather off-putting characters along the way). When we walked into Mazda though, we had the great fortune of meeting KEITH MORITA, who was easily the most professional, personable, and knowledgeable dealer we've ever worked with. From beginning to end, no pushy/sleazy tactics -just a consummate professional treating us like actual people. He took us on the BEST test drive, patiently showing us the car's features and how they best worked with our driving style and needs. We bought a car from him that very day and drove home all smiles. Thank you, Keith! read more

I came in today with heavy interest in a Certified Pre-Owned 2018 Mazda CX-5 & I'm so satisfied with my experience that I wanted to share it as soon as possible. The entire staff was amazing. From Sam Samaha (general sales manager) to Erin Vikjord (sales) to I believe his name was Harry (the financial manager), everyone was so nice and helpful and absolutely attentive. Given this was my first time purchasing a car from a dealer, I was anxious but immediately felt relieved to know how friendly and attentive Erin was to my needs and wants. He explained everything thoroughly and made sure I understood all the aspects of the vehicle I was interested in. I was able to test-drive the car alone (because of COVID protocol) and after purchase, Erin sat with me to explain all the features and set up my phone with bluetooth. I'm not sure if that's something they usually do or not, but I appreciated the time he spent with me. I'm so excited for my new car and I'm even more happy I decided to support Dublin Mazda. They are absolutely great people & I will recommend them to anyone I can. Thank you Erin, you're the best! read more

I bought my car from Michael Barrilleaux (pronounced Barlow) Dublin Mazda and I couldn't ask for a better salesperson or customer service. I was planning on buying a new car but when he showed me a pre-owned SUV CX30 that just arrived, I decided on that one, a 2021. Fast forward to a few days ago when my car wouldn't start. I called Michael and he actually drove to our house and jump started it at no charge!! Amazing customer service. The battery worked fine for 2 days, wasn't driven yesterday and this morning it wouldn't start again so I called Michael again and even though it was his day off, he came over again and jump started it!! Wow!! So amazing! I seriously doubt you could get better customer service elsewhere! I highly recommend Michael when shopping for a new car!! read more

We purchased a 2012 Hyundai Sonata from them about 6 months ago. Our sales person was friendly and we made the purchase without the extended warranty. Standard user car warranty is 30 days. After purchase we noticed immediately the left turn blinker was blinking much too fast (safety issue) and we never got a wheel lock key to remove the rims from car. I emailed twice and left phone calls with the sales manager and sales person. Nothing but crickets to help us! Two weeks ago the car suddenly died and we towed car to nearby Hyundai dealer in Concord. Engine had thrown a bearing but luckily there was still 400 miles left until the National recall warranty would expire. Hyundai agreed to replace engine. But Dublin Mazda never had shared that important news about the engine. Buyer beware, don't buy their used cars as you truly are on your own. I will not purchase from them in the future as they have not supported us. So who is to say they will treat us the same after a Mazda purchase? read more

I am absolutely blown away! I was a proud VW driver for 20 years, so when 2 of my best friends told me to call Tristan at Dublin Mazda, I was a bit hesitant to even consider it. However, the notorious electrical problems that plague VWs had begin to set in, promising hundreds in repairs, so call him I did and this set off one of the most positive changes I have made to my daily life in years. Until now, I had always believed that new cars were for suckers. I mean, you buy the car, drive it off the lot, then immediately lose thousands of dollars in value?! No thanks. So when Tristan told me that the rebates available actually made it smarter to buy a new car I was skeptical that he was just another salesman trying to guide me in the direction that best benefited him. I decided to hear him out anyway (then ignore him and buy a used car) and drive all the way to Dublin since I really trust my best friends who swore that he was the absolute best (I live in San Jose and I went during rush hour- no regrets). Tristan had my ideal colors and models waiting for me upon arrival. And this was fully timed to my needs, since he made himself available even when I moved the date up by a full 24 hours at the last minute. I test drove 3 different cars and he really WAS able to get me a deal on a brand new, high end Mazda that was almost identical in cost to a used one! Mind blown. I am now proudly driving the nicest car I have ever owned, peace out VW, and knowing that I got the best possible deal on it makes every day that much better. My fiscally conservative father couldn't believe the price I paid. And I think it goes without saying that his pride in my purchase still feels meaningful, despite my status as a fully grown woman. Tristan made the negotiating portion as seamless as possible. I was, most unfortunately, under water in my previous loan. Tristan got me a deal so amazing that both my previous loan AND those fun CA sales taxes were all absorbed, so with that kind of deal I would have been crazy not to buy the car. Most importantly, I could sense the entire time that I was working with a salesman who was on the level- he truly had my best interests at heart and he was fully committed to getting me into a situation that I could afford. He never tried to get me to purchase useless upgrades, and he went back to the manager multiple times to get the cost as low as possible. He 100% made me feel like family. My previous car was given a fair price and the new one was sold at the lowest price imaginable- what more could I ask?! Every day that I drive that car I am not only thrilled by how amazing it is (2018 Mazda 3 Touring Model Hatchback FYI) but I am comforted by my experience with Tristan and my absolute CERTAINTY that if anything comes up he has my back. He even promised me that if I'm feeling unhappy for any reason in 6 months, he will get me into something better for my needs. That won't be happening since this car and I got a thing goin on, but that kind of security on such a large purchase means the world to me. Not only do I think you should get yourself to Dublin and buy your Mazda from Tristan but you should also, like me and my friends, vow to buy all your future cars from him. Seriously though. read more

Brah-vow I normally take my car for service at Fremont Mazda (as it's where I purchased my 2016 CX-5) but I moved and am closer to Dublin now so I decided to try them out for service. 5 stars for being Covid-conscious from entering to the lounge area that is socially distanced safe. Wifi, plugs, variety of seating choices, new, modern, clean - yasss! And lastly - ANTHONY GREEN is phenomenal. Thank you for providing a 5-star experience. read more

Excellent!! ! They sent a video walk through of what was serviced on my car and when I dropped it off they had a free Lyft arranged to bring me home and a text link for a direct ride back to the dealership when the service was done. Easy, smooth, & timely. Even with a kid. read more

After having a bad experience at Tracy Mazda I went to Dublin Mazda and I can't express enough how wonderful Paul Mahjorirad was . He really listened to me and took car of my needs. The whole dealership was absolutely fantastic . They worked with me on getting the right price of a car . The financier who I can't remember his name but will say looked like a younger Tom Chaplin the lead singer of Keane really had patience and got me the right price.. I got the CX 30 and I LOVE IT. So if you're looking for a new Mazda please go to the dealership in Dublin and ask for Paul you will have a great personable experience. read more

We had a really excellent service experience with David Reyes! We recently purchased a 2018 Mazda3 (from somewhere other than Dublin Mazda) that was eligible for Mazda's CarPlay stereo upgrade. When I called Dublin Mazda to schedule an appointment, I was offered a time the very next day. When we took the car in, David was very friendly and got us all checked in. While the vehicle was there, they performed several inspections, which were reassuring, since we purchased the vehicle used and it will primarily be for our son to drive. When the car was returned to us, it had been washed and vacuumed, which was a nice bonus. read more

Maintenance costs a lot more than other Mazda service centers. Also, didn't bother to fix my windshield wiper.

Today Saturday just called this location at 2:45p to see if Mazda has hybrid car on stock, the guy who answered the phone was not helpful neither was nice to talk to. Sorry Mazda, you lost my business. read more

So first, if you're looking for a sales guy who won't make you feel like you're covered in slime, ask for Elvis. I mean, his name says it all. I live in Fremont, which also has a large Mazda dealership that I bought my last Mazda from. Unfortunately, that car was totaled, so I was in the market for a new car. Fremont and Dublin both had the same exact certified preowned model I was looking at. I had already gone over to the Fremont Mazda dealership a few times that week since it was so close. I had a young gentleman there I was talking to each time I was there, but he was young and couldn't really handle the numbers I was throwing at him. I don't fault him for that, but each time he had to pull someone else in to really talk numbers with me. I just wasn't getting the right vibe and figured I'd check out some other online inventory of the nearby Mazda dealerships and that's when I saw the same car I was starting to settle on in Dublin. So we drove on over. Elvis helped me find the car I was checking out, immediately took us for a test ride and was very pleasant. He mentioned some of the deals on new cars but when I said I wasn't interested, he never brought it up again. There was some haggling with the management, but he worked as our mediator rather than the enemy. It was fun negotiations and I walked away mostly happy and they got to sell a car. The price was slightly higher than Fremont, but the mileage on the vehicle was better - but really, the experience at their dealership was was just all around better. I wanted Elvis to get the commission, he was very enjoyable to work with. Now the unsung hero of Dublin Mazda is Rosie the Finance Manager! After all is said and done, you always get taken back somewhere to sign your life away. Rosie is who you get to do that with and she's awesome. Through the miles of paperwork, she breaks it down into simple terms for you to understand and is no-nonsense. I mean, besides getting to drive away in my lovely new car, my favorite part of the day with chatting with Rosie while we got everything squared away. They better give her a bonus or something.... But all in all, buy a Mazda, they're great cars - and when you do it, go ask for Elvis at Dublin Mazda. read more
