I came in at least 5 separate times for more than a year while I researched and test drove the miata, and I was never hassled or pressured. When I was ready to purchase, I sent Zak a note asking if they could find the exact model I wanted at a neighboring dealer, and by the end of the week I was driving home. Overall smooth experience with zero issues along the way. More

He was very responsive to emails after my first visit which I really appreciated because of my sometimes busy schedule. He also explained everything very thoroughly and walked me through the process. Mackenzie was also a great help showing me the features of the car and getting me situated before I left the dealership. She is very personable and knew the car which made things easier when leaving. Overall, I had a great service experience! More
