Gunther Mazda

From a Miami Dealership Nightmare to a Dream Come True! Thank You, Bob Fanucci and Gunther Mazda! Trust our bitter experience: finding an honest car dealership in the Miami area is a nightmare of a quest. At previous places, we were literally bullied, hit with artificially inflated car prices, and aggressively pressured into buying services we didn't need. We were completely exhausted and had almost lost all hope. But what the team at Gunther Mazda (1800 South State Road 7, Fort Lauderdale) did for us completely restored our faith in people! It all started late in the evening when we filled out an online credit application. They called us back promptly, and when we arrived at the dealership the next day, there she was—our stunning blue Mazda 3 waiting for us right by the entrance. The car was sparkling clean, absolutely spotless, as if inviting us to take the wheel. We immediately went for a test drive and fell completely in love with it. But the true guardian angel of this deal was an incredible human being and the absolute best Internet Sales Manager—Bob Fanucci. After all the horror we went through at other dealerships, Bob just looked at us and calmly said, "Guys, it’s all good, we’re going to figure this out right now." And he didn't just promise it—he went ahead and did it! Bob secured the absolute lowest, most favorable interest rate for us, without a single ounce of pressure or hidden fees. We honestly never expected such a sincere, human, and highly professional approach. Just a couple of hours after arriving, we were already happily driving home in our brand-new blue Mazda 3. Gunther Mazda delivers the absolute best service, and we definitely have a benchmark to compare it to. If you want to experience the pure joy of buying a car without being ripped off—forget about other Miami dealerships. Go straight to Bob Fanucci. He is a man of his word who doesn't just sell cars, but brings people peace of mind and makes dreams come true! Bob, thank you for your massive heart! From now on, we are your customers for life!

I had a great experience purchasing my new 2026 Mazda CX-50 from Gunther Mazda. Daniel Cifelli was professional, helpful, and made the process simple, honest, and hassle-free. I appreciated how comfortable and straightforward the experience was from start to finish. Thank you to Daniel and the Gunther Mazda team for the excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend them.

Very disappointed. My wife had an appointment this morning at 8:00 a.m. to have her oil changed. Right now it's 10:00 a.m., 2 hours have passed, and she still doesn't know when they're going to change her oil. They tried to sell her a tire rotation, air filter replacement and some other items for about $250 and we declined. Not sure if this has anything to do with the punishing waste of time she is encountering 2 hours after she declined the extra service. When booking an appointment, I suggest you confirm that you will be serviced within a reasonable time as compared to your appointment time.

Gunther Mazda is a HORRIBLE Place. I have a Mazda CX-9 Signature Ed 2022. The dealer would NOT honor the brakes they put on my car that we Faulty, and in turn they ruined my rotors. After 3 months they were making noise and I brought it back and they stated "I MUST BE an aggressive driver" They kept it in the shop for over a week because they didn't want to cover the cost of replacement, the reason it took so long is they were waiting for Mazda to cover the Cost. They are a Contractor ,TO PROVIDE the service and they DO NOT make any MONEY from "Warranty Maintenance" so they don't want to honor it. I was SO upset, they provided me a loaner car that I was not familiar with, and I had an accident going to a funeral ! When I returned the car they didn't even ask if I was hurt, all they wanted was money. The manager Mike was so indifferent. Horrible experience. Then when you call Mazda customer service all they do is say oh here's a credit voucher to go back and get taken advantage of again....This was my experience with Gunther Mazda

Gunther Mazda redeemed this vehicle purchase experience for me and I’m so grateful for both Nelly and Oliver! First, I dealt with Nelly over the phone and I was so pleasantly surprised at how nice she was and even nicer in person. She gave me an out the door price with no hassle via email before she even knew how serious I was. She is the reason why I felt so comfortable coming in. Then once I came in, Oliver took over and was a smiling face throughout the experience! I immediately felt better being there than the other dealership I visited. He answered my questions and was very straightforward in the most pleasant way even when dealing with the numbers of the sale. I was celebrating a special occasion for myself with this purchase and he absolutely made it all the more significant and memorable for me and I don’t think I’ll forget it for a long time coming. I will be recommending Gunther Mazda, specifically Nelly R. and Oliver A. to friends, family, and anyone else in the market.

Very dishonest. Do not care about losing their customers. Sneaky tactics. I went in for an oil change and also had an issue with my Mazda CX5 where the display screen kept randomly changing to different stations and screens, all on its own. The assistant manager Mr. Ortiz tells me this is a normal thing with these vehicles. Says that when it gets hot outside, it causes the outer screen to make contact with the inner screen causing it to change screens. I found that very hard to believe because I put my a/c on 65 and even at night with the a/c on it was happening. He went on to say they have a kit that is like a compound that they place between the two screens so they don’t make any contact. He tells me not to worry he can get it covered and gave me a smile and a thumbs up. After a couple of hours I get called up to sign paperwork and there’s no mention of them doing anything about the screen. I wk over to Mr. Ortiz and he tells me to call him the next day. I called and he said I will need to pay $70. So he didn’t get it covered. Later I get an email for a survey asking how my service visit went so I explained in the review. Me. Ortiz calls me after seeing the review and questions me on why I posted my review so I told him I posted what happened. He said to me that when people post negative reviews we have a meeting and decide if the customer is worth keeping and doing the repair or losing the customer and said he is not going to cover it. As it turns out, after reading a public forum online with people that own Mazda CX5’s said they had the same issue and it was a programming issue and was fixed. I then called a different dealership and told them the issue I was experiencing and the rep told me it is a programming issue. Avoid being scammed by this service department at this location. Go to a different one as they are independently owned. I suggest the one in Coconut Creek or one closer to you. When a manager basically tells you outright that they prefer losing you as a customer rather than assist you, all because you voiced your opinion in their in survey…..You should realize at that point that they are shady and practice unethical practices. I also brought it up to the service manager Mike Yonak and he pretty much echoed the same thing his assistant did.

As much as I dislike car shopping, Joel Badio made the experience smooth and effortless. He was kind, patient, and addressed all my questions without hesitation. Joel was honest, friendly, and transparent throughout the entire process. If you're in the market for a Mazda or VW, I highly recommend reaching out to Joel Badio. He will make the process easy, and you'll feel great about your purchase when you drive off in your new car. Thanks, Joel – I truly appreciate everything you did!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS DEALERSHIP! I was a customer of this dealership for almost five years, leasing three different Mazdas from them and always getting maintenance done at this location. Not anymore! Short story: I brought my brand new 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV to Gunther Mazda in Fort Lauderdale for a SERIOUS safety recalls (out of many) which they did complete. However, since then, I’ve experienced additional issues — both related and unrelated to the recall. Despite having a case number with Mazda corporate costumer care and explaining my concerns clearly, the service team at Gunther Mazda consistently dismissed them, insisting the car was perfectly fine and sending me away without resolving anything. Even though the recall was fixed, the problems with my vehicle have worsened since the service visit, and I had to spend another two days at the dealership with no solution. This car isn’t safe to drive! Instead of addressing these ongoing safety concerns and new issues, they’ve ignored me, showing a lack of professionalism and commitment to customer care. How can one trust a company that doesn’t even handle the paperwork correctly? The car is 24’ CX-90 PHEV but the paperwork states that my car model is a Mazda RX-3 (see attached photos). This model was produced from 1971 to 1978! I asked them to fix it, but they claimed it’s auto-populated in their system and that they can’t do anything about it. If you’re looking for a service center that takes your concerns seriously and provides thorough, reliable service, Gunther Mazda is not the place! A waste of time and money! Look elsewhere!
