Things worked out in the end, but the middle was a hassle. Ratish was our first contact on July 29. He was nice but we couldn't get together on a deal. The offer for our trade in was laughable so w hassle. Ratish was our first contact on July 29. He was nice but we couldn't get together on a deal. The offer for our trade in was laughable so we decided to leave and sell it on our own. After selling the car we decided to try and work things out via phone beginning August 4. Just like when we went in we were unable to get things taken care of, although we were under the assumption that we were still working on a deal. On August 5th while waiting to hear back from a bank, we decided to go in since we hadn't heard back in hours. Although we were disappointed to find out that the car we were negotiating for was in process of being sold to another buyer, Anthony was able to find something similar to fit our needs and get a rate/payment we could finally agree on. Garrett handled the sale and even followed us home for the deposit and proof of income. We were also offered a free fill up when we had to come back in on August 7 to fill out a few documents that were missed (they were short on finance people on 8/5 so Anthony took care of the paperwork to get us out quicker). Overall it wasn't an amazing experience, but the friendliness of the staff and seeing the smile on my fiancee's face made it a pretty good experience. If I ever decide to purchase a Mazda again I would have no problem returning. Thanks! More

When I was looking for a Mazda CX-5 this dealership had exactly what I was looking for. I initiated this transaction as an online transaction due to the amount of travel which was 3 hours away. I worked exactly what I was looking for. I initiated this transaction as an online transaction due to the amount of travel which was 3 hours away. I worked with Garrett who was prompt to respond to my online request and the negotiation process was very easy. He went into detail about the vehicle plus he inquired if there were any questions I had about the vehicle plus any accessories I might be interested in. When I arrived at the dealership he made sure that all add-ons were installed on the vehicle and the financing was in place. I would like to thank Garrett for the pleasant experience. More

I typically buy new cars, so this experience was educational. I went through the Costco auto buying program for used vehicles. I can't say that was as easy as I expected. I felt like I had to " educational. I went through the Costco auto buying program for used vehicles. I can't say that was as easy as I expected. I felt like I had to "strong arm" our sales person in order to see the Costco pricing sheet. After I showed him the email Costco sends he decided to get a manager. I was not aware that when you purchase used you may only get one key to your newly purchased vehicle. (I am used to getting two keys and a valet key....). I'm still waiting for a call back to get the cost of another key.... They definitely don't offer any of the perks of buying a new car, full tank of gas, maybe a free something... Oh wait, they did give us a bag and a coupon book, and a free oil change. I must say, the warranty was what made the sale... Both sales and finance were nice, I'm probably just spoiled... More

This was the 13th time I've purchased a new car. To compare this experience to the previous 12 would be like comparing an Air Force F-16 fighter jet in a dogfight with a field of single engine Cessna p compare this experience to the previous 12 would be like comparing an Air Force F-16 fighter jet in a dogfight with a field of single engine Cessna private airplanes. In other words, there is no comparison. I noticed they were voted #1 in some KCRA survey. I concur. Specifically: Anthony, the sale mgr, was straight foreword. I'm not naive enough to believe the game wasn't rigged (he IS trying to sell a car), but it was subtle enough as to be undetectable. I enjoyed working with him. Garrett was more about showing us the car's features than making a sales pitch which led, ironically, to an easy sell. Can't say enough about Grant, the finance guy. True story: When he told us "there's only one paper left to sign." I blurted out "Grant, this has been so enjoyable can't you find something else for us to go over and sign?" I also want to mention sales guy Ratish Singh. There were three sales types working that day, including Garrett and Ratish, but only one, Garret,t was going to make any $ off me. All three were busy yet Ratish went out of his way more than once to ask if he could get us water or soda. There's more I could write but I'd rather take the new car out for a spin. Ciao! More

My wife and I have worked with Garrett Oxnaes for several weeks to research and ultimately purchase a Mazda 6. Garrett was fantastic to work with and patient with all our questions and gave us a great deal weeks to research and ultimately purchase a Mazda 6. Garrett was fantastic to work with and patient with all our questions and gave us a great deal on the car we chose. We had a few unexpected "emergencies" this month and missed several appointments with Garret. He was very understanding and patient. Likewise, Garret provided a very good presentation of the car and answered all our questions a few special requests. Everyone at Mazda of Elk Grove was extremely helpful. We highly recommend this dealership over the others in the area and hope to purchase our next car with Garret from Mazda of Elk Grove. More

I am very satisfied with the overall service received from Mazda of Elk Grove. Grant was extremely professional and efficient and made the end of the process smooth and fast. Garrette was a great help as from Mazda of Elk Grove. Grant was extremely professional and efficient and made the end of the process smooth and fast. Garrette was a great help as well. However, I did feel a difference when buying a USED car versus a NEW car. I felt that more priority and attention was given to those buying new cars vs used cars. I think all customers should be treated the same regardless if they are purchasing a new or used vehicle. Also, staff should be allowed to use cellphones only for work purposes and not for personal use. Apart from these little glitches, Mazda of Elk Grove is a great place to buy a car. Most of their staff is great, friendly and helpful. More

My experience with Mazda of Elk Grove and Garrett, the salesman, could not have gone better. I live in Reno and originally decided on the Mazda 6 Grand Touring after test driving it at our local dealershi salesman, could not have gone better. I live in Reno and originally decided on the Mazda 6 Grand Touring after test driving it at our local dealership, as well as researching it on my own. Amazingly enough I had a hard time getting the local dealership to call me back. I had done a request for a quote online and originally thought all the calls might be annoying, that was until I talked to Garrett. He called me three times on his day off to answer my questions and let me know when he would be able to get the exact car that I wanted. He was very professional as well as friendly. I felt he went above and beyond what I would typically expect. Garrett's great help, as well as knowledge about the car, made me consider purchasing from him. What made my decision final was how well he negotiated a great price and made the three hour trip more than worth it for me and my wife. After the local dealership finally gave me some time on the phone, they called me all day long trying to get me to change my mind and purchase from them. They could not even come close to the professionalism, care, and price that Garrett gave me. Garrett even extended the warranty to 100,000 miles through their dealership. When we arrived at Elk Grove I was introduced to the sales manager, as well as other salesmen and the finance manager. Everyone was very nice and professional, and I could tell they really enjoyed working there. My wife and I were very impressed with how enjoyable the entire experience was from beginning to end, not to mention the car is absolutely incredible. I would higly recommend a Mazda, this dealership, and especially Garrett, to anyone. More

We do not live close to a mazda dealer, so we looked at a couple. what drove us to Elk Grove was mainly Garrett's prompt call and inquiry about what we were looking for. Matt was awesome!! From the moment couple. what drove us to Elk Grove was mainly Garrett's prompt call and inquiry about what we were looking for. Matt was awesome!! From the moment we walked on the lot he made sure we were well taken care of. Everyone there was also very gracious about our two year old who was not so happy about being at the dealership all day. Our ONLY complaint was how long it all took we really were there all day. But we do understand they were extremely busy that day, probably because of their great customer service :) More

We rated our new car buying experience at Elk Grove Mazda the highest possible rating because we appreciated that we got a tremendous deal and were treated with kindness and excellent manners by our salesman the highest possible rating because we appreciated that we got a tremendous deal and were treated with kindness and excellent manners by our salesman, Garrett Oxnaes, and our finance professional, Grant Saige. Garrett was so helpful! While he was thorough and persuasive, he never once crossed the line by being pushy or impolite in any way, and we have very high standards! We did not come to the dealership to buy, but came with the intention of looking only. However, Garrett's thorough approach, his hard work on our behalf (he truly did everything possible to get the best possible deal for us), and his courteous, smart, and friendly yet professional demeanor impressed us so much. Of course, we love our car--the Mazda 3! Garrett truly knows his products, which helped us to decide to make the purchase as well. Similarly, Grant Saige did a great job in finance for us. He was quick, yet thorough, and he knew all the right things to say to make us feel at ease and comfortable. We truly appreciated the new car buying experience at Elk Grove Mazda. More
