Recommended dealerships in Socal?

Hey guys I was wondering if there are any dealerships you can recommend in Socal because I am looking to get a new car. I know this is my first post and whatnot but I've been lurking around this forum for about 2 years now =) Thanks!

There are a few but it's the salesman that makes a deal with you. Then you have to deal with service later. Let me ask on MOCC where are you located to help find a cool dealer or salesman in your area. What are you looking for, have you priced them out

Yeah they drove the **** out of my car and then put in notes that they are voiding my warranty because I have a boost gauge installed in my car.

If I knew who had worked on my car that day I'd punch the guy in the nose. Boost gauges don't control boost, he put down I installed the gauge wrong and was causing the turbo to overboost.

Suffice to say, I will not deal with Browning Mazda's sales staff ever again. And, judging by the postings here, I won't be using their service department either.

tustin mazda is good in the way that they do not bullshit you and provide the service that is needed without blaming your car for being old or your "AEM" intake for something being wrong? i am thinking about trying this dealership out..

Yep, they are literally 1 mile away from Mazda's Headquarters and they always have MNAO representative over there hence the reason why they can't bullshit you on both prices and warranty work; they're always being watched.

Haha interesting thanks for all the replys! I've already been to Puente Hills but they had no cars there? Actually when I walked in, there wasn't even any workers but a customer who told me they are moving or something. I'm planning on buying a new car either a R3 or GT for navi So I guess right now its only Tustin? Has anyone ever been to Clippinger? I checked their inventory on Mazdausa and they have a 09 GT with Navi.
