If you want a good price, buy here because I bought my Mazda CX 9 in Charleston and paid a much higher price than the GM at Mazda Midlands offered me. I only bought in Charleston because I needed the car the same day for the wifes graduation. All my future business and referrals will be to Midlands.

Perfection, hard to improve on that!

My wife and I recently bought a 2019 Mazda CX-9 Touring SUV with an upgraded package from Stokes Mazda, Ashley Phosphate Road In Charleston. I give the sales people Chuck and Adrian 5 stars, but I have to give the price I was offered by the sales desk for this car 1 star. I have always bought Toyotas but decided to give Mazda and this dealership a try as I read some good reviews about the Mazda brand. I buy new cars on a regular basis and give many referrals to friends and colleagues as I am a national speaker on great customer service and many people seek advice from me on where to get the best deals and service. I like to develop long-term relationships where I do business and keep the money with local businesses if possible. I wanted to see if this dealership would negotiate to find a place we could both feel good about the deal but I had almost no progress after several attempts. In the end, I bought the car ONLY because I wanted to give it to my wife as a graduation gift that particular day. I received a written offer for the same exact car from Midlands Mazda in Columbia the same day for over $1,000 dollars less (out the door). Stokes Mazda had some very nice sales people but if you want a GREAT PRICE, go to Midlands Mazda in Columbia. They gave me the fair price I needed without playing games and they did it over the phone and followed up with a formal offer with an exact out the door price. My wife is disappointed with the fact that our local Mazda dealership did not take care of its own and did not honor the people who tried to buy local and I feel the same way. This experience took the joy of buying a new car away from both of us and will cost Stokes Mazda many, many purchases and referrals from my wife and I over the coming years. This is why people don't stay loyal to dealerships and, sadly, it hurts the brand and the salespeople who work for them. I overpaid for the car, but I wanted to see how I would be treated if I showed trust in getting the best deal from a local dealer so I would know if I could trust them with my future business and referrals. This experience will provide a great case study for my future talks to fortune 500 companies on customer service and how to reach a "Win-Win" deal. All of my future deals and referrals will be to Midlands Honda in Columbia for giving me the respect of dealing fairly on the price without playing silly games. Trust and integrity are everything for long-term business relationships. Making a few extra dollars today on a customer is not worth sacrificing your long term relationship with that customer and their network of referrals. My advice....give Midlands Mazda a chance before you buy at Stokes Mazda because I wish I would have spent my dollars at a dealership who wanted a long-term business relationship and gave me a great price without the hassle.
