OC Mazda agrees with Lauren...this is an awsome time to buy a new car. Especially one just like Lauren's...the all new, all that 2010 Mazda 3!

This is the best time to buy car, especially since mine was totaled after an accident. When I walked onto the lot (Tustin Mazda) I didn't think I would buying a car right then and there and definitely not a Mazda! (I am a Toyota fan) However, seeing the new 2010 Mazda 3, I had to have it! This car drives great (I love taking corners really fast now) and I love the way it looks, they have really changed the look of the car since the 2009 model. My sales guy, Shaun was great and very helpful not intimidating at all. And all the sales guys on lot were very friendly. I am so happy with my purchase, I LOVE MY NEW CAR! :D

Lauren B, Costa Mesa

I had a Ford Explorer Sport and wanted a more fuel efficient car. I went into a Hyundai dealership and was pressured into test driving 3 Hyundai's.

They tried to get me to buy a Sonata, but I had my eye on this Mazda 6 sitting in the corner of the lot. I told them that I was ready to walk if they wouldn't let me drive the Mazda.
About 4 1/2 hours later, I was driving away in the Mazda 6!

Five months later I was packing up to move to Washington state. After getting the moving truck loaded, I was headed to put my paycheck in the bank. As I was on my way, an Angel's game had just let out. It was blazing hot outside. I looked at the temperature and time and looked back up right as I hit the bed of a Toyota Tacoma at 70 mph.

I have attached a couple of pictures of the crashed Mazda. If it wasn't for the genius design of the car for crash purposes, I would most likely be in a wheelchair today. Instead, all I suffered was whip lash and a dislocated knuckle. It is for this very reason that I will never own another car other than a Mazda 6.

To replace my Mazda 6, this time I went to Tustin Mazda. I love the OC Mazda family!

The sales team doesn't pressure you in any way. You tell them what you can afford, and they make it happen. Since I've bought the Mazda 6 I'm driving now, I have had a couple of friends buy Mazda's from Tustin Mazda.

All I hear is how much they love their cars.

Thank you Mazda, for making a car that saves lives and is fun to drive!!!

Tami Anderson, Santa Ana

Tami-

An email from Fernando, a Tustin Mazda customer and our latest Super Star!

http://www.ocmazda.com/

Fernando sent this email in today:

Please tell Ruben that aligning the wheels on my Mazdaspeed3 solved the problem of vibrating at freeway speeds. Also tell John (Patterson) that your service department has a bunch of friendly, helpful guys, and thanks for the consistently good service!

Best regards,
Fernando Lynch

Happy Mazdaspeed3 owner (like who wouldn’t be)

This is Fernando's response when we asked him if we could post his above email to our website:

Are you kidding? I’d pay you to put my testimonial on your site! (editor's note: we didn't charge him!) I sold my “weekend” Porsche Boxster S because the Mazdaspeed3 had similar performance, just as fun to drive with better ergonomics and audio, 2 more seats and doors, and can carry infinitely more, AND you could buy TWO of them for less money! OK, the Porsche turns more heads, but I actually like the “stealth” of the M3. Go right ahead and post my email (and this one if you like).

Have a great day!

Fernando...we all just had a great day because of YOU! Thank you from the entire OC Mazda team! The above pictures are of a 2007 black Mazdaspeed3. Looks like Fernando's...but we know his is better looking...after all, he's driving it! We love hearing from you Fernando...zoom-zoom!

Reason for Visit: Sales (New)I recommend this dealer: Yes My Review of John Patterson Tustin Mazda:By far the best experience I have ever had at a dealership. Every person at the dealership was professional, courteous and very low pressure. My salesman Shaun was not only very handsome(which was a plu) but very respectful and made me feel like I was at home. Thanks again guys!

My Review of John Patterson Tustin Mazda: From the time I entered the dealership to the time I drove away in my new CX-9, I have nothing but praise for the way the buying process was conducted. I received all the information I required in order to make an informed purchasing decision, my requirements for the car were met very quickly, negotiations were conducted with honesty and integrity (I was happy with the price), and my car was delivered at the promised time. Follow up after the sale has also been exceptional. I will have no hesitation recommending John Patterson Tustin Mazda to friends and acquaintances who are looking to buy a new car at a trustworthy, professional car dealership.

Reason for Visit: Sales (New) I recommend this dealer: Yes My Review of John Patterson Tustin Mazda:I love this dealership! I have personally bought 2 cars from this dealership and recommend them every time someone I know is looking for a car. I think at least 20 of my friends, family and colleagues have bought from them all with the same experience. From the moment I walked in the door 5 years ago, I knew this dealership was different. They treat you like family- if you take your car in for service on Saturday, you are always treated to lunch (usually homemade from the owners wife) they have summer barbeques, and always call you by name when you arrive. Their service department is just as wonderful as their sales team, they are fair and honest and always willing to assist. If you are looking for a dealership is not looking at you as just their next sale, then John Patterson’s Tustin Mazda is the place for you!

Reason for Visit: Sales (New) I recommend this dealer: Yes My Review of John Patterson Tustin Mazda: I have worked with over 200 dealerships in Southern California and John Pattersons Tustin Mazda is one of the best. The people are super friendly and helpful. Attitude is great, and I can appreciate that. I have been in the business for some time and working with this dealership is always, always a good trip.

Reason for Visit: Sales I recommend this dealer: Yes My Review of Huntington Beach Mazda: After my car was totaled in an accident, I was in the market for a very specific and hard to find CX9. Huntington Beach Mazda located the car for me in Northern California. Although it took about a week to get it, they arranged the shipping, and gave me a loaner car in the meantime. Two other dealers had told me that I would have to place an order, and could expect a wait of up to two months. (They then tried to "switch" me to an in stock model) Since I got my car, I have had several follow-up contacts from my salesman, the sales manager, and even the general manager. FIVE STAR service. (I also enjoy the free car washes)

Can A New Car Really be Fabulous and On A Budget? YES!

April 20th, 2009

Just the thought of buying a new car can send chills deep down into any bank account. And some might even argue that buying a new car is only for the Fabulous without a budget. Not to mention, who wants to deal with the headache of paper work, options, finances and pushy sales men. No thank you! So, when it came time to make the leap from my first car ( a hand me down) to my second car ( the first one I would ever have to pay for) I was hesitant to say the least. However, as fate would have it, I ended up at OC Mazda in Huntington Beach. The deals were so good that I knew that being a connoisseur of all things budget fabulous, it was my responsibility to spread the word! Joe walked me through the every step. From picking out the car that was best suited for me to offering to have my new car detailed any time I was in the neighborhood, he made the process easy, fabulous and fun!And so, because we at Fabulous On A Budget truly believe that "Everyone Can Be Fabulous!", Joe is offering all of our readers the Mazda Employee Discount on all pre-owned or new cars for the remainder of 2009! Just mention that you saw them here at Fabulous On A Budget.com http://fabulousonabudget.com/home.php And just to make it even more Fabulous, a charitable donation is made for every car sold at both Tustin Mazda and Huntington Beach Mazda. To date, over $400,000.00 has been donated to local schools, churches and charities. Go to http://www.ocmazda/ for more information and to meet the team.
