Preston Mazda

Bad things do happen to good people. Prestons’ claim to “Finance your future, not your past” is legitimate in the sense that there are lenders willing to finance people that face financial hardship. All dealers have access to these lenders. The “Construction and Touchdown Sale TV Infomercials” leads you to believe that Preston is different offers great prices and has compassion for disadvantaged buyers offering “Top Dollar” for your trade and the ability to get even the most challenged credit financed. I agree that the staff is friendly and there are lenders but as we worked through the process it became more and more clear that making the sale and maximizing profit is actually “What Comes First”. As the process began you get the sense of being kept off balance as a number of people: sales agent, car appraiser, pre-finance and finance seem to be working to set you up for “The bad news”. I went in with the knowledge of what my trade was worth, what the car I was interested was worth and what I could expect for the terms of a loan and payment. All these people seemed to work in concert as they prepare you for “Their Deal”. I don’t know about you…but, I get really tired of car dealers telling you how worthless your trade is and how much you got screwed and how valuable their cars are as they are bending you over further and further… After my car was appraised I had to find my key which is a standard tactic to keep you from walking out while they work to break you down to their deal. As their deal was forming I was diverted away from the car I was interested in, moved towards a bigger loan and payment schedule, I would have to be willing to let them steal my trade, and put $1000.00 dollars down to offset the negative value (Dealer Profits) to consummate the deal. I couldn’t get out of their showroom fast enough and won’t return. When I bought the car I am driving from Fred Martin Ford in Austintown, they gave me a fair deal, got me a decent loan, and worked hard to show me the compassion and respect a person that just experienced a financial hardship deserves. Preston is just another big volume, high pressure, manipulative car dealer that keeps us all leery of walking into a dealership and wanting to buy a car. Buy your next car from Fred Martin Ford.

My experience in buying my new car was very enjoyable thanks to Stacey. She is very professional and knowledgeable regarding the Mazda line. Stacey did everything to make our time at the dealership feel very comfortable and went to bat for us on our financing. Thanks Stacey!

I went to Preston Mazda after hearing amazing things from a close friend about the service and helpfulness there. When I arrived, it was quickly shown when I was greeted by Keith. I needed a new car, fast. Prior to going to the dealership I had looked at cars that were being sold online. I had in mind exactly which one I wanted. Keith was very helpful in working everything through. He kept in contact with me and made sure everything was just perfect before I drove my new car off the lot. It really surprised me when he contacted me to make sure everything was going good with the new car and to make sure I liked it a few days later. All the staff at Preston Mazda was absolutely amazing and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this dealership to my friends and family! Thanks again for everything!

Sean Kirkpatrick was extrememly helpful with my first experience of buying a car! He made is completely smooth and easy! Overall, I would recommended Preston to anyone!

I was car shopping as the lease on my vehicle was almost over and stopped at the Mazda dealer. My daughter is driving her second Mazda and loves it so I wanted to drive one. Sean was my salesman and he "did it right". I appreciated his calling to check on my decision every few days ( actually why I went back ). The day I went to drive the car, I had made a deposit on a Honda Accord. When I drove the Mazda 6 I was sold. Sean and Jason worked with me on the deal and I closed it that day and drove my car out of the lot that same day. I LOVE MY MAZDA. Thank you to Sean and Jason and the staff at Preston Mazda in Boardman, OH. You have a new very happy customer. Keep up the great job, Cathy Foster

Very nice Salesrep! Easy to deal with, honest and knowledgeable. Good overall experience. Would recommend to other. Good customer service. Will shop Preston's in the future.

Great people, great service, great deal done quickly! I have bought cars from Preston dealerships in the past and dOnny and his crew do as fine a job as any.

Prior to visiting Preston Mazda my car buying experiences have all been relatively the same. An all day affair and a battle, usually leaving with a car but never feeling like I got the best deal. At Preston Mazda I feel like the entire team was working for me especially Stacy who worked hard with Bill the finance guy to get me the best deal possible. I never felt over pursued or pressured in any way and they got me out the door in record time. Overall they have given me my best experience and a great vehicle. Many thanks to them, I will recommend them to my friends and family.

They met our needs in finding the exact Mazda we were looking for. They gave us the right amount for our trade in and came down on the price of the car. They also were willing to fix a few things about the car with no questions asked. I am very happy with the whole experience, people were very friendly!
