Achilles Mazda.. Worth the drive from Sauga

[nilabjo]

Hey Tm3 peeps,

In the market for a 2010 Mazda 3 GS, and have been to couple of dealerships now. Heard positive reviews from the forum about Achilles Mazda and their unbeatable pricing. Is it worth the 45 mins drive to Acton? Thinking about goin today if its worth it. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[zzz3]

im in sauga as well, but if i was going to check out dealers to the west or east i think Jeff (toronto mazda) would be my first stop judging from all the love hes getting lol.

[zzz3]

by the way (i cant edit my post), have you been to any of the mazda dealers in mississauga/west end? If you have who did you find to be the best experience (price/customer service)?

hey buddy,
i went to jeff yesterday and can definitely understand the love for jeff .. and today i went to oakville mazda.. they r moving to a new location on monday and will be called QEW mazda. and talked to Dean there. Really awesome service tehre as wel.. no sales pressure .. nothing! went for a test drive for Mazda 3 and i am in love let me know how your experiences go

[grex]

I live in mississauga and I drove to achilles and I go their for every single service.
AWESOME experience, the guys there are great, I know the techs through some friends who live up in acton and there all good dudes! WORTH THE DRIVE!! TRUST ME

Thats awesome.. I got a call from TJ, and I mentioned the forum and he is definitely aware of it. But, he said there is not going to be a huge difference in pricing.. so I am not sure if I wanna make the 45 min drive for the same price I can get from Oakville Mazda or MOT.. you know?

[grex]

Yeah TJ is the man!!! You should just go and see what they can do for you and bring an offer from another mazda dealership, Im sure there will be a little difference in prices as they are both trying to get the sale!

TJ's awesome, his attitude and they way he explained everything in detail and made sure I was well aware of what I was doing deff helped close the deal.

You don't have to drive to Acton any longer as Achilles will soon be in Milton.

definitely going to try this out when they move to milton lol

Bought my 2010 there. Overall a good experience. Best price I received (but it was before I was on this forum so Jeff and/or Oakville will likely be pretty close). I loved their no haggle quotes. They emailed all of the quote info to me to review, so you may not even have to drive to Acton to get your quote.
Dealt with both TJ and Achilles. Both are good people to deal with. Very helpful.
The service is really good. The techs are helpful and genuinely seem to care about customer service. They even stayed late the night I picked up my car as I had a concern. We service both of our cars there and have always had a good experience.

+1 hopefully they open up before I move out to Guelph because I'm eager to try them out in Milton aswell.

I saw the dealership today.. looks like it will be done soon.. Anyone know? there are cars on the lot though, maybe just for show or extra space?

My wife was in there a week or so ago for service. They are thinking that sales will move at the end of June or early July but service may be later (closer to the end of July).

[2010M3Owner]

They made the move to Milton. Spoke to Suny and they are supposed to be up and running at the new location as of today (July 2)

this is awesome, cant wait to see the new place.

[Kris"Speed3"CWP]

What is the service going to be like???

[grex]

top notch if its anything like the old place...which it will be plus better lol

[mazda348]

the new dealership is great! but their prices are comparable to all dealerships in the area!
So if you're looking for a good experience go there.. if you're looking for the best price - might not be worth the drive!

[2010M3Owner]

Haven't been to the new place for service yet, but all of the service guys from Acton were moving with them to Milton as far as I know, so it should be just as good if not better considering it will be nice and new.....
Agreed that it might not be the lowest price, but I am willing to pay a bit for the type of service that I have always gotten from them.

My wife took her 3 to the new one in Milton, service was on time and she had no compliants. We usually go to Brampton, but now i cant even get through to service on the phone. I've also waited 3 hours for a oil change in Brampton numerous times. I think i will have to switch.

Our Mazda 3's lease is up on the 21of August. We decided to try Achilles in Milton as we had the exact same issue as Dan Da Man at Brampton. We actually left 3 messages to get an oil change and not one was returned and an appointment was never set up. I will never set foot in Brampton Mazda again.

We decided to test the waters on a Mazda 5 (as our family is bigger now) so we went to Achilles to take the 3 back and see what kind of deal we can get done.

We have not bought yet, but have been very happy with our whole Achilles experience so far.

I am soooooo sad to see the 3 go. I LOVE the car even after 4 years of driving. But we need a little more room.

Looks like we'll have some Mazda3 winter floor mats to sell.
