Fair price on Jeep; realistic value for trade-in; excellent staff who communicate accurately. Straightforward, no games. Review requires 25 words, so here they are.
A fun car to drive....when you need it fast too
You can adjust the seats. Heated seats are nice and the sound system sounds good for its Dolby system. Can't beat the design or its performance.

Had great experience with Tyler, Caleb, and Dan.
Had great experience with Tyler, Caleb, and Dan. I ask lots of questions when purchasing a car and they answered all my questions with patience. Even after the purchase, they get all of my questions answered about this complicated car. All new cars are complicated! Bottom line: the customer service, product, and the overall experience With Stevenson-Hendrick Honda was excellent.
Most reliable and fun car I ever owned.
The 2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a wonderful car. 100% reliable. In the eighth years I've owned this car, I have never had any kind of mechanical problem whatsoever. 100% fun to drive. Makes going out for a quart of milk a fun experience. Power Retractable Hard Top is a simple and very convenient feature. Great sports car. Nothing beats it in this price range.

We were extremely fortunate that Ben Wilkening was the responding CSR that worked through our needs. He was knowledgeable and worked hard to answer all of our questions. We definitely had a unique request for a trade option. We will consider this dealership for future offers.
Best convertible I've ever had...in over 31 years!
The Miata is simply the car that brings the most fun for your dollar...ever! I wouldn't sell except I'm getting a new one - a 30th Anniversary Special Edition. It's my fun car and daily driver in one...as long as there's less than 2" of snow on the ground. Sunny and 60° + will find me with the top down.

Nelson Mazda is a no pressure dealership with a beautiful
Nelson Mazda is a no pressure dealership with a beautiful showroom, friendly people and a huge selection of new and used vehicles. Our experience was excellent working with JD to buy a newer truck. He handled everything throughout the process, never passed us off to anyone else and was fun to sit and visit with while waiting for our paperwork. He's definitely an asset. Never thought I would say this, but it was enjoyable buying a vehicle. Highly recommend!! 🙂
Most fun car i'v ever owned.
this is the one of the most fun cars i've ever driven and i've had many cars in my life. the handling is unbelievably awesome. the Bose stereo ROCKS!! it's really a tuner with an great exhaust note. i guarantee you will love the miata. 1 downside - i am almost 6 feet tall and i sometimes bump my head when i get in but it is well worth it.

I went to the quick service and had the oil changed.
I went to the quick service and had the oil changed. In the process i ask him to check the air in my tires because 1 showed low. I was told there was a nail in my tire and needed to be patched. Michael Arnott was awesome to get it done in a timely manner and giving me advice on upcoming issues.
Best value for a fun roadster!
This is my third Miata and I can't help but smile everytime I drive it! I have previously owned a 1999 and a 2008 model. They were both great vehicles. I currently own a 2012 hard top convertible and it's my favorite Miata. Every chance I get, I have the top down. With a press of a button I can have the top down for some open air fun. The car is so nimble and quick that you enjoy the driving experience. The car responds to the driver and provides plenty of feedback to enhance your driving experience. I have had no issues with the vehicle. All you have to do is change the oil and go for a fun drive. All my Miatas have been great weekend vehicles and the 2012 hard top is by far my favorite. Test drive one and you will smile from the experience!

Honest Straightforward Exciting Buying Experience
This was our 2nd purchase at Fitzgerald. Both buying experiences were easy and straightforward. Jeff, Ron, Mike and Wade were honest, friendly and showed sincere excitement for our new specialty vehicle. My husband and I will surely be repeat customers at Fitzgerald WV Frederick.

Purchased a 2023 4-door Mini Cooper S today. Super experience, very helpful staff, particularly Virginia, who was patient while I inspected the vehicle and test drove it, and then walked us thru the whole transaction, including working with my preferred lender. Top notch operation.

2nd experience
So this was a return visit and again the service was excellent. I liked that they took the time right out of the gate to find out what was important to me as a buyer. I also liked that their prices are upfront and competitive they really stand out against local competition. I didn't know the would be able to impress me even more the second time. Everymember of the sales staff was great from the receptionist Josie to to Carter and Schuyler and the detailers. I was so surprised to see how they listened to my 8 year olds input and keen observations and did right by both of us again. I like that this dealer came recommended by a friend and that I feel that they honor that in the way they go above and beyond to treat their customers as friends.

This was the best experience I ever had with purchasing a vehicle, David, was very understanding what I needed, he showed me numerous vehicles , helped me with setting up the bank that would finance my car, for the best rate, I wasn’t nervous talking to him, he wasn’t pushy trying to get me to purchase a vehicle, I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a used car, I left there happy with the purchase I made, hats off to Dave and his staff. I gave 5 stars , it they had more stars I would of given all of them, Thank you Dave😊😊😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great experience! We drive from Wichita and Donnie met us on a Sunday when dealership was closed. Very kind of him, no pressure sale, which was very nice. We viewed the car we came for and made quick easy purchase. Thank you would definitely recommend this dealership.
