What's happening to Mazda in LA? Mazda Culver City and Mazda Santa Monica closed. I had to take my RX-8 to Galpin Mazda in Van Nuys, 15 miles away, and my engine had severe power loss at high temperatures and I barely made it over Sepulveda Pass. Mazda Glendale is also 15 miles away though the center of LA's worst traffic.

With the loss of SM and Culver Mazda will someone take the opportunity to open a new Mazda dealer ship in WLA?

 

There's Monrovia Mazda that just opened up, but that's in my neck of the woods near Pasadena and probably isn't much help to you.

 

It's been happening up here in Northern Cali as well. We have lost three dealerships up here in Vacaville, Fairfield, and Vallejo. Then they opened up one new one in Vallejo. Mazda/Hyundai. Weird.

 

Heritage Mazda became Surf City Mazda here in HB

the service was bad before and now its terrible

 

Irvine Mazda is good.


except for one service employee, who is a complete a hole.

 

when ever i take the car to the dealership i have to wake up at 6am and drive all the way to browning mazda in cerritos and then sit in traffic for 2hrs on the way back to work. Not happy

 

i bought my car in santa monica
now i have to go to browning also..
maybe long beach next time

 

good riddance to all bad mazda dealers! don't let the door hit u on the way out.

thanks for the tip.
my ac has been acting up

 

i would STEER CLEAR of ALHAMBRA MAZDA as well... unless you don't mind getting your car dinged & scratched every time u go in for service. they are a bunch of careless mother f'rs and their service manager Ricky Tru is a first class moronic ***.

 

I'm glad Santa Monica Mazda closed down. saves me from having to burn the place down those SOB's.

 

Hey BRGREEN8,

Thanks for the warning about Long Beach Mazda.

 

WHAT?!

What happened in H.B.?! John Patterson just bought that place (the guy who owns Tustin Mazda) and he sent over Jennifer to run the Service Department. She was pretty good in Tustin...

 

I never had an issue with L.B Mazda. Just had my motor mounts installed. Browning is also good. I would go back to them and show them what Browning did for you and raise holly hell till they give you something for your troubles.

 

How long did you go to Long Beach Mazda?

 

screw going to dealers for service, go to neptunespeed in HB... those guys rock

 

So I guess I need to go to browning. Went to glendale and they jacked up my car by the side skirts even after I made it very clear to the service manager that they had to be careful. He even put it in big letters on the repair sheet and highlighted it and thoses asses still did it.

 

Couldn't possibly agree more on that.
The only time my car will now see the dealership is for recalls / TSB's. Just make sure you guys keep your invoices from Neptune, in case mazda ever claims you "never got your car service and that's why xyz part is not broken".
