My search for a new car, a MAZDA 3 sedan, started with a few visits without any serious inquiry. The next step was emailing the contact address on each respective website. I got mixed replies, anywhere from direct and informative, to "we don't send information via emails" and those that did not reply at all.
The most exciting and enjoying part was actually scheduling appointments with those who replied and gave me at least some information on the emails that I sent. Out of all the people I met with, the most accommodating person was Mr. Peter Pickering of DIRECT MAZDA.
Peter emailed and gave me information that I needed since DAY 1. He never waivered and even though he never met me before, he trusted my queries. It did not end there. When I met him, he was the most professional sales person I have ever met. I can sense he was the busiest person on the floor. Taking calls left and right, talking to each and every personnel in the dealership. Until I discovered I was speaking with the president of the dealership. El presidente was very accommodating and never lost patience in providing me with the information I needed. He explained the difference of each and every trim, shared information regarding my choice of financing and even offered information which I really found very helpful during my choice.
After all the information he gave me, I spent another 2 weeks and did some information gathering from 3 other dealerships. DIRECT Mazda gave me the BEST price and the best experience ever. Let me put it this way, I was just looking for a GX at first, contemplated on a GS and ended up getting a GT. On the day I wnet there to finally confirm a color for a GS, I popped a simple question......."Peter, would you by any chance, have a manual GT available in your stock and if you could maybe provide me with a price". The rest is history!
The finance manager, Mr. Jose Alvarez, has to be the nicest finance manager I have ever dealt with. Like Peter, he will discuss with you the detailed aspects of each and every offer they have, regarding the MAP and other offerings they have, whether you get them or not. He is not the one to pressure you or frown if you say NO.....he smiles every step of the way. If you call him on the phone, he will give you his full attention and would even return your call right away.
The sales consultant who released my GT, Mr. Andrew Colasante, was also professional and funny. You know when some people just go through the motion of doing their thing.....this guy sincerely performed the delivery procedures with professionalism and patience. He sits with you in the car and tells you every detail that you need to know about the basics. If you have questions, ask away and he will patienly explain it to you.
I really enjoyed my purchase experience with Direct Mazda, I sincerely believe that these guys are the real deal. If you want a good and unbelievable deal, drop by DIRECT Mazda by Battleford Road in Mississauga, you won't go wrong.
