Horne Mazda is a great place to work, great management team with some of the best young sales staff that I have ever been around. This is the best place to purchase your New Mazda or any car .Recently I have come under fire, wrongly and unfairly! This has personally caused me damage and my family damage. So now I would like to publicly explain both of them.
Bridget R- She insinuates that her husband was greeted with the e-mail she posted on this site after her husband went on Cars.com. That isn't the truth, which is why she failed to show the entire e-mail. I responded to her husband request, for at least 7-10 days. Sent e-mails, I sent e-mails on behalf of our GM, asking him "How we can help" all e-mails were read by someone in the house hold, all went unanswered! The only e-mail that was answered was the e-mail that they posted and Bridget only posted half of it! Why is that? Because She knows I was clearly only stating the obvious! I'm there to help consumers, I'm here to help answer question and concerns. If I take 7-10 days to reply to your request, you read the e-mails and fail to respond, is that wasting your time and my time? We as humans need to walk with the attitude that all of our time has value! Everyone works long days in this economy, all of us have a family to feed! But to think no-one in that house hold, never had 3 mins to respond to any of the e-mails until he got this particular one! This is clearly someone out trolling for a problem, issue so they can post on yelp.. (otherwise why not post the entire e-mail) I go out of my way for my customers, I have purchased out of my pocket, Second Keys, Floor Mats and pay out of my pocket the second oil changes for all my customers! I have been at Horne Mazda for more than 90 days and have sold 40 cars and have great CSI! I am always, have been always and will always put Horne Mazda customers first! To put my personal information out and suggest for people to call me, out of line! This is an attack and a person with other motives.
Danny D- Now this situation was clearly a bad situation up front and I recognized that as soon as I got back from the test drive! Danny and his wife set an appointment with me for a Saturday, which they showed up for. I did take them on a test drive that is much different than most salesmen would. 0-60 to show the breaking system, I feel is very important.. Most people drive their cars faster than 60 miles per hour, don't you want to know how your new car is going to re-act? They have a new born child, safety features should be, I would think very important! Yet he found fault in that! Since they have a child I took them both out separately! they both thanked me and said it was the best test drive they have been on! Danny and his wife told me several times they wanted to negotiate the internet price. (2017 Certified Mazda 6 Touring with less than 3000 miles) I sent Danny a screen shot of the online price of the car that he wanted to purchase. (So why would I try to Change the Price, knowing I have done that? Danny is correct when he says I showed him a different price. I pulled up the website in front of him to insure we were on the right car that we had been working on. The online price was changed from $18k to over $20k. I did bring that to the attention of the manager on duty and was told to go out with these numbers, instead. I did that and then went and got the invoice to the car and showed Danny, at the $18k price he would be purchasing the Mazda6 $3000 dollars below invoice! (I offered to honor the price I sent him, he stated he would purchase the car but wouldn't pay the dealer ads) I explained to him there's no way we can sell you this car without the ads! I explained the car was priced wrong online and that my hands were tied. He then stood up, shook my had and said they were going to walk! Again Danny was right, I was frustrated. He had just dragged his family all the way from Tucson and the car we have been talking about for over a week.. Was priced wrong! I don't price cars online, that's not my job.. I was upset cause I knew what it looked like to them as a consumer! I understand Danny was upset but attacking me, makes no sense! Especially since he knows "I sent him a Screen Shot of the Price".
I just wanted to logically explain both situations and let everyone know the facts! I've been in this business for over 15 years, someone that treats customers like a number and not value you them!! Would never make it 15 years. Customers come first! read more
