Customer Testimonials

We bought a Mazda from them and then a week later they reached out and said there was more paperwork that had to be signed. When I asked to see the paperwork they emailed me a blank affidavit which made no since to me. I was then told that they would not release my title unless I signed it immediately...that day! So I bought and paid for the vehicle and signed ALL the paperwork they put in front of me and now they will not give me the title for it.
They did not mention until after all the ... Read More DealerRater - Nov 10, 2024

The mechanic was very knowledgeable and thorough. Everyone we encountered while there was friendly while accommodating our needs.


They’re Johnny on the spot. Good customer service.

Best car buying experience I've ever had! From Kendrick, the knowledgeable salesman who got me exactly what I wanted to Roz the finance manager who got me exactly where I needed to be! They were friendly and fast! I couldn't believe how fast it was. I will definitely be going back there again and again.


Had a great experience they gave me a great discount would definitely recommend!


Clean dealer, up front pricing, no surprises after arranging the deal out of state. Very accommodating of the travel and arrival. Would do buisness there again.


Always quick and professional.

I really appreciate the great customer service and professionalism of purchasing my car at Mazda of Columbia. It was a real pleasure working with Osman Ljeskovica! He was very knowledgeable on everything about the car and I appreciated all the good information and advice he provided. I highly recommend Osman, and Mazda of Columbia to anyone in the market for a new or used automobile! ~ Patricia K.

Super friendly staff and easy process from beginning to end. Loving my new CX-5!!

Wonderful dealership to work with! Nick, the salesman and all other staff were very friendly, helpful and honest. Definitely the best car buying experience I have ever been involved in. Highly recommended! Superb!

The dealership was very helpful in getting us in earlier with our appointment. The staff were very friendly and made sure all of our service needs were taken care of.

I was very impressed with the quick service and hospitality.

fast and friendly

They did absolutely amazing just recently financed a car they got it ready and everything they even cleaned the vehicle out and left me with a full tank of gas, everyone up there is so kind and took care of me and tried to lower the car payments as much as they could I honestly couldn’t have chose a better dealership to go to. May shop there in the future again!

Our local Mazda has really made me feel like part of a family. They took good care of my car in a timely matter and did exactly what they said they were going to do!

Very good customer service, performed excellent service . staffs are very cooperative Highly recommend for excellent service.


Drove into Mazda dealership to make appointment to have vehicle checked out for a rattling noise that just started, especially noisy on bumpy roadways. Michael got me right in and service determined cause & tightened screws. I am pleased with the service that I receive at this dealership.

I was provided with a detail diagnosis of my car. They were quite helpful and friendly. The waiting area is so comfortable with snacks, coffee and other drinks and a tv. Waiting for your car is not boring at all.

My local shop, friendly people and quick turnaround time.

Purchased a new cx-5 with the help of Kim, Roz, and Micah. Thank you for an easy, smooth experience! Will definitely buy from them again in the future!

Mike Dejesus is the nicest service guy. He’s very thorough in explaining things about your cars maintenance. I feel comfortable asking him questions and leaving my car in their care.

Nice and friendly people and very helpful!

Love my Mazda couldn’t have chose a better car thank you guys


I am a repeat customer of the amazing financial manager at machens, Mr. M.G. I once again had unbeatable service from both him and my sales professional, Osman!

I have my car serviced here pretty religiously. Always very satisfied with the techs going above and beyond. Oil changes are priced very reasonable. I thought it was time for new brake pads, however was made aware they were still good. Most places would have charged me anyway, especially with being a woman. I was also made aware I had an oil leak, with pictures and videos as proof. 10/10 recommend. Very honest and friendly people

I've been to Mazda several times in the last year. I didn't buy my Mazda there. I was taking it to other places, and every time there was an issue I would return to Mazda for them to fix others mistakes! I'm so grateful for Michael who is always kind, polite, and to the point of what the problem was. I will not be taking my car anywhere else but Mazda from here on out!!! God Bless, and thank you Michael🫂👍!

Absolutely amazing. I had a fiendly, informative, and quick maintenance visit with the Srrvice Department. I subscribed to the text updates and was never out of the loop. I received a personal video from the factory-trained master technician who worked on my CX-30 and knew my car was in good hands the entire time. Michael D was my service advisor, and I believe Eddie was my technician. (Please correct me if I'm wrong so I can properly thank him by name!)

Amazing how the team helped me find the right car. All were professional and helpful.


Great service! Knowledgeable, helpful, friendly people!

Excellent service from the beginning to end with Ras and Micah!

Our salesperson, Owen and the initial salesperson who helped me over the phone, Kira were very professional and responsive. Overall, we had a very good experience at the dealership. The only reason I took away one star is because the people who do the detailing for the used vehicles (3rd party) did not do a good job. However, our salesperson Owen, jumped in and worked really hard to make sure it was in better shape before we left. It really mattered to him and we were very impressed with his efforts. We were in a big time crunch and he ... Read More Google - Sep 30, 2024

They listened to what we wanted in a vehicle and what our price range was. They worked efficiently and diligently!


Very good service

nice folks to deal with.


Quick and easy car buying experience!

I’ve purchased 2 cars from Joe Machens of Columbia …have been nothing but happy and satisfied with both. Highly recommend and my salesman Owen was awesome!!!


Spectacular place to service or purchase a Mazda! Purchased 2 here recently!

The personnel is very friendly. The manager is great and helpful. This place offers the best prices in the Columbia, Missouri, area.

We had an amazing experience with Frank and his staff at MAZDA of Columbia! They worked with us after our family car was lost to an accident. They communicated promptly and transparently. They utilized all of the resources in their extensive network to help us get mobile again. We would go back and work with them all over again! They will definitely be our source for our next car when that time comes. Thank you, Frank! Thank you, Tarell! Thank you, Roz! Thank you, Mark!

I cannot say enough how great my experience was with Joe Machens. The dealership that I worked with was in the middle of moving the whole dealership and yet I still feel like I was treated well. There was one minor hiccup in the delivery of my car but the whole sales team really went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Mark S, again thank you for your professionalism during this whole transaction. You all are incredible. Derrick thank you for showing me how my car works! Roz thank you so much for all of ...

They did a great job having the paperwork ready for signing to help us move quickly through the transaction. MC Dampier was very responsive to any questions we had and was great to work with.

Courteous, professional the whole way through. Five star recommended. I would purchase through Joe Machens Mitsubishi dealership again. Thanks goes out to Nicholas for his expertise

Everyone was very friendly and helpful! Deric was a pleasant young man to work with.

They did a good job of finding the problem and fixing it. The part was delayed, not the fault of the dealership.

I absolutely loved the service at this place. Everyone super friendly...I was told by another dealership i needed brakes. After diagnostic they let me know exactly what was needed and let.me choose the ones I wanted done. Brakes were not on the list. surprisingly. Most places would have done them and charged me anyway.... I will never go anywhere else♥️.

The service rep was communicating regularly and looked into an extended warranty for me. He was very helpful during this process.

Michael is AWESOME!!! He really knows his business and how to please his customers:) The staff there treated me more like a person than just a customer too. The full circle inspection video was really helpful sent to me after the car was inspected. Great idea to keep customers in the know!!! Super service and feedback too!!
He and Kevin were also fantastic keeping me informed on the status of my car after I watched the video. Kevin explained to me after he did the inspection what he discovered and helped me to get a better understanding of what was ... Read More DealerRater - Oct 31, 2023

Service did a very thorough inspection in a short amount of time. Comfortable waiting space.

Good auto and customer service. Willing to work with customer’s requests. I recommend new customers to try them.

I was treated with respect and courtesy. I will return whenever I need service on my car.

Incredible customer service!!! The staff care for me as a person not just a customer. They know my name, they know what I need, they are super helpful.

The whole process was very fast and tge staffs were keen on very detail and kind at the same time.

We had an excellent experience overall. The sales and finance staff were courteous and helpful

Mike in the service department is excellent. He keeps me informed with the progress of my vehicle.

Great experience! Leslie was awesome! Very patient & determined but not pushy! Tyler G. made the process easy and stress-free!

The staff were courteous, the service was prompt and thorough, and the snacks were plentiful.

For the second time I just a few months Tyler Gray ROCKED at taking care of me. Within a few minutes all my questions were answered and my purchase was made. Glenn and Tyler thank you again!!

Very communicative and I liked the video showing what all they found wrong with the car.

Amazing service, nice staff, helpful, nice, nice, nice, Amazing service, nice staff, helpful, kind, knowlegable

Very friendly explained what they were doing to my car. They were clean. Look forward to my return.

Very nice folks but they kept my car for a long time, 4 weeks! But they did an awesome job and my car was great!!!

They were extremely friendly, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile for customer service.

Everyone was really nice and the work was complete. I reserved a 12pm time for an oil change letting them know I was going to wait outside for it to be done. I received a notification that they were just starting to look at my car an hour later. I didn't leave until 1:50.

Got car in fast to figure why car wouldn't start. Reasonably priced on repairs.

Very pleasant experience with a very knowledgeable sales staff. Very easy to trade and got a great deal

Michael and the service staff are awesome. I wouldn’t take Mazda any where else.

Fast and thorough service. They always keep me informed of the progress of my vehicle

Great service and I love how you send out the video and repairs. I always trust the job is done right.

Quick service. Excellent communication and explanation by Robert K. Will use joe Machens Mazda service again.

They were friendly, helpful and efficient. Call about my issue and got in quickly. Thank you so much.

Service was good, however there were some issues that could be addressed. 1)There is an oil consumption recall on my vehicle that wasn’t addressed until I returned for no oil in the engine. 2)I haven’t gotten any call to repair the issue. 3) I didn’t receive any receipt documentation for the service.

Everyone is always very nice and courteous. I had an oil change done, and it was done in a very timely manner.

A great place to get service! Took care of what I needed with speed and professional service. We bought both are vehicles from them and will continue to do business with them. Thanks!

Every one was courtesy and didn't have to wait very long. I would tell my friends about them.

Always have to tell them the service is needed. I don't travel alot but I do know that you need your oil changed once a year at least. Also being told certain services can be done at a after market shop when it cannot is not a good thing.

Roz was truly amazing and made this experience so amazing for me. I truly 100% recommended him and those at this location. I will be 49 and was able to get a car by myself for the first time

1. Was told the truck would be ready on Monday the 21st after buying it Saturday the 19th. Had to take a rental home due to not being ready. 2. Called at 3pm on the 21st and still wasn't ready with no word when it would be done. 3. No one apologized in person besides the car salesman. 4. They did print off a service receipt of the work that was done which held up it being finished. Supposedly 2k dollars on work.

They were cool at first and I did give them a good review at first but my traverse that I purchased transmission died they did fix the transmission but they have done nothing to get my 2016 Passat back on the road they had it yesterday they worked on it for 2 weeks I go to pick it up it doesn't start they jump it that's a brand new battery mind you interstate battery at that I get it home 9:00, my wife wants a mountain dew I go to start the car up to go to the gas station and ...

Very thorough service. They even got my wife’s car in to check tire pressure while we waited for the service we were scheduled for to complete.

Professional and courteous in every way. Robert knows his stuff and can clearly communicate what needs to be done and why and how. Service was timely and more reasonably priced than I expected. Adrain gets top marks for superior driving and pleasant, cordial demeanor. If service is like this all the time, Machens will have a new faithful customer. I can't rate the quality of the work until I drive in torrential rain. If the sunroof doesn't leak, quality will be "very good"!

Great job and friendly service, was a better price than what I expected Thank you

Osman was very nice and very helpful!!! Josh Woodruff was awesome as well! Thank you both for taking good care of us❤️

Robert is great help and always explains the work that needs to be done on my car

After searching for months to find a vehicle I finally landed at Joe Machens in Columbia. They made sure that all my requests for the vehicle I was purchasing were met. I was very pleased that they gave me loaner vehicles to drive while the car I purchased was being serviced. Many dealers these days sell used cars as is and refuse to address any issues customers may have. This is not the case at Machens, I appreciate the extra steps they took to make sure I was happy with my purchase.

Everyone was so nice and helpful. Worked hard to make what we wanted happen. Would definitely go back when we need another car.

I the people checking in and out are very nice, sometimes I have to ask for a CDs ar wash, but if they forget I might get two when I ask! Excellent customer service!

Cant say enough about the sales professional and the finance team that worked with us on our new Mazda. Ver friendly and helpful. Really made the process quick and easy.

My visit to get two recall repair items fixed was smooth and easy, the employees were so nice!

Polite, courteous, ready to help solve my problem. The rates were very reasonable and I was offered a payment plan! I will definitely recommend them and go again myself, should the need arise. Great job guys, keep it up👍!!!

They are very good help you in anyway they can. Very nice people to talk to.
