He's a consummate professional, and in a league of his own. He's honest, fair, and deeply caring of you, as the buyer. This was also the first time that someone sat with me for the next 30 minutes to show me the cool things the car does. Sure, he could have left me with the manual and called it a day, but he stayed 30 minutes past closing time to show me the features and to set up on the electronics. It's these small gestures of going an extra mile that distinguish Huntington Beach Mazda from other dealers. Barry is an asset to the HB Mazda team, and I'm so lucky that I got to work with him!

Joe is friendly and knowledgeable. He listens to questions and gives upfront and honest answers. There were no pressures, no up-sale hassles. During the process, he kept me informed. Upon delivery, he helped me with the little details of comfort regarding my new and yet unfamiliar car. My experience with Joe Balisalisa and HB Mazda was nothing short of Professional Excellence.

The transaction went very smoothly as the price we agreed upon is the price that went on the sales contract. Joe Balisalisa is a straight shooter professional guy. If you are in the market for a brand new car, make sure to give Joe Balisalisa a call at OC Mazda, Huntington Beach. He will treat you well. On the other hand, avoid by all means Puente Hills Mazda. They will give you a price over the phone but will not honor it upon arrival as they will force you to buy add ons and options that you did not need and want in the first place. More

My wife and I just purchase a 2014 Mazda CX-5. It was a very painless process that we both enjoyed. We went to talk to Joe Rosales during the week right before closing. Joe was friendly and personable. He very painless process that we both enjoyed. We went to talk to Joe Rosales during the week right before closing. Joe was friendly and personable. He did not make the hard push. He knew that we were interested in buying but probably not that night. He gave us all of our options and even stayed pass closing to make sure that we had all of our questions answered. We left that night without a car but I think Joe knew we would be back. On Saturday morning we came back and with the help of Little Joe also we were driving away in our new car in a little over 2 hours. Definitely the most pain free car transaction I have ever had.

I took the CX-5 around the country in May-June, 7200 miles in three weeks. I had its oil changed in Columbus OH, and when last week I had it at HB Mazda for another oil change the OH service was listed; miles in three weeks. I had its oil changed in Columbus OH, and when last week I had it at HB Mazda for another oil change the OH service was listed; nice! They also detailed the CX-5 gratis as part of a promotion and did a fair job with one exception: I have Wet Okole seat covers (highly recommended BTW) and the detailers didn't put them back on! This is when Joe Rosales, the salesman who sold me the car, happened by and put them back on _himself_. He was a straight-shooter salesman when I bought the CX-5 and obviously willing to go the extra five miles to keep his clients happy. More

I was recommended to Huntington Beach Mazda, because two of my closest friends had purchased cars there. Their parents talked to my parents as well and made sure that we were in good hands with both Joe B. of my closest friends had purchased cars there. Their parents talked to my parents as well and made sure that we were in good hands with both Joe B. and Joe Rosales. Joe B. greeted us right away and took us out to explore some potential purchases. He was extremely informative about the cars, giving not only the facts, but a lot of his personal experience. You can tell he loves his job and enjoys helping others find the most suitable car. After driving a few cars and finally deciding on the Mazda 3, we were placed in the hands of Joe Rosales. This part was the portion of the night that made me nervous; all the costs and final decisions. Joe made sure not only to inform my parents on any questions, but he made sure I was comfortable and understood what was going on. I appreciate his patience during this huge decision for me and all of the hard work he put into getting me the best deal possible. Everyone always tells you to be careful for salesman tricks and what not at car dealerships, that is not necessary here at Huntington Beach Mazda! Everyone was a delight to work with, and there were no gimmicks whatsoever. Thanks again to both Joe's!! More

Joe and Joe were low key, friendly, knowledgeable and patient. I started looking for a CX-9 2 months ago. I considered used or new, I shopped for prices, I considered options and packages. Joe Rosales patient. I started looking for a CX-9 2 months ago. I considered used or new, I shopped for prices, I considered options and packages. Joe Rosales took me on a test drive and understood I was in no hurry. When I got back in touch, Joe Balisalisa was my email contact. They gave me a great price on the exact CX-9 I was looking for, and a very fair price for my trade in. The whole process was low stress, very friendly, and pressure free. Not one sales gimmick ... other than the best one of all = "let us know what you're looking for, and we'll help you find it." I shopped far and wide via internet, but when push came to shove, I wanted to buy a car from HB Mazda because of Joe Rosales, and the location (I live in Costa Mesa), and then Joe B. helped complete the deal. I love my CX-9, and I had a GREAT experience w/ HB Mazda. More

Well it all started with going to the furthest dealership from home and working my way back on April 13, 2013. What a mistake!! At the end of the day we ended up emailing Joe Balisalisa at Huntington Beach M from home and working my way back on April 13, 2013. What a mistake!! At the end of the day we ended up emailing Joe Balisalisa at Huntington Beach Mazda because we had changed our mind on the type of Mazda 3 we wanted, with an online quote in hand,I thought to myself this sounds a little to good to be true but lets drag ourselves down to Huntington Beach Mazda. Guess what, we get there and Joe B. has gone home for the day. Great we are going to be handed off to some other guy who can't find the email, not sure he has the car, or tell us that was not an out the door price. NOT EVEN CLOSE !!!!! We were handed off to JOE ROSALES and the purchase was GREAT. Joe Rosales new exactly what we were there for, exactly the price we were quoted, and had no problem when i changed the color i wanted. The paper work went quick and easy. The finance guy was easy to work with and the price came out to the penny when compared to the online quote. Joe even threw in some extras we ask about after the fact. These guys truly treat you the way a consumer should be handled. No passing you off to the next guy messing with your head. Got out off there quick and easy. More
