I would like to start off by thanking Dominic Chang,VIP Program Manager and Internet Manager at Putnam Mazda. A fellow car enthusiast and rotary aficionado, we hit it off right away. He worked with me to get me the deal I wanted on my new Mazda and was quite simply a pleasure to meet and deal with. He even offered to pick me up from the airport (both San Fran and San Jose) since I had to fly in from Los Angeles to pickup my car. How awesome is that?!The entire deal from start to finish was stress free and completely free of games that many dealerships like to play with customers. If more dealerships were honest like this we’d be better off and potential buyers would be less weary. Even when I got into financing and I was introduced to Kyle, Putnam Mazda’s Finance Manager the good experience continued. He was patient and honest while I asked all of my questions and looked over the numbers which is oftentimes not the case. It was just an overall great environment and seemed like a great place to both work and buy from.While I can’t speak for their service department being that I love I Los Angeles, I can say wholeheartedly that from the buying end the people and dealership are awesome at this Mazda store. I highly recommend Putnam Mazda if you’re looking for a new Mazda. Drop in and ask for Dominic Chang and I’m confident you’ll have a great buying experience just like I did!Thanks to all involved in making this deal happen!

Our experience buying CX5 at Putnam Mazda was excellent. This dealership is the best in the bay area compared to the others. They have good customer service and deals.If you are looking for a new Mazda, ask for Randy Rodriguez. Randy was our salesman, and he was very helpful and honest. He answered all our questions which helped us to make our decisions easy. The finance department was accommodating as well.

My salesman Dominic Chang is simply AWESOME! He is passionate yet very chill and knowledgeable.As a new driver buying my first car, he has been constantly giving me all sorts of useful tips (not only on buying cars) and helped me making educated choices. Just to list a few facts that impressed me a lot:- When communicating through email, he almost always respond within hours if not minutes, even late at night!- During the test drive, he guided me through a lot of different scenarios, including some rather extreme conditions like panic stops, which Ive never done with other dealers, but is really crucial for test drives. (my other test drives were basically like DMV behind-the-wheel test, the salespeople only tell me when to turn...)- Instead of relentlessly bugging me if I will get the car asap like other salespeople Ive worked with, he told me that I SHOULD test drive cars from other manufacturers before making a decision, and I was genuinely surprised/confused, I mean, arent you a salesperson of Mazda?? But I can now confidently say that I made a choice that I wont regret.- When buying my car, instead of talking me into buying nonsensical accessories immediately, he actually told me where I can get the exact things, CHEAPER.- Ill give you a verbal test on the car and then decide whether you should come in as I still want to teach you some of the safety settings is the first message I got from him after I drove my new car off the dealers lot kind of in a rush. Wow, WOW! How many salespeople out there could ever have such dedication to their customers?Thank you Dominic!

I bought my first Mazda just a month ago and I took it to Putnam Mazda to have services done on my vehicle. Firstly I wanted to thank David, from service department because he is very knowledgeable about what hes offering. I had very specific, very detailing questions about my car and he answered all of my questions. Hes the brain of the service on Mazda.During my visit, my cars service was completed earlier than estimated, I was offered a cup of coffee with a nice view of other Mazda vehicles. During my 2-hr estimated waiting, I was walked through the new vehicles that Mazda has; I again had very specific questions about the new vehicles, I took a test drive, asked many questions after all about new interior design and buttons: the gentleman, Ion was able to answer all of my questions and giving me more details about the car, payment options and giving me some tips about buying a new car. Im glad Ion was assisting me very well with the choice of a new vehicle.Employees of Putnam Mazda are very friendly and they are a complete successful teammates. They help each other to assist a customer very well. I didnt feel alone during selecting my next car! Even though Im not buying a car today, but they took their service seriously and provided an excellent job.I highly suggest that you go and talk to them about what to know about your new car, they had pre-owned and brand new cars with excellent prices. Thank you so much for the Putnam Mazda Family!

We came to Putnam Mazda after doing some preliminary research and visiting a different Mazda dealership. While our previous experience wasnt bad, Dominic was perfect as he was not pushy and had lots of practical information. He gave us genuine pros and cons and was willing to help us even during these hard times in regards to cars and shortages. After we purchased the car Dominics service continued as he went through all the features of the car to make sure that we were completely comfortable before driving off.

I came here to buy my first car, and I ended up getting the CX-30 ( amazing car, I love it). I inquired about the car I wanted online and originally spoke to Nestor, who helped me make an appointment. Nestor was unavailable at that time so he kindly introduced me to Dominic Chang. Dominic was amazing; he let me take my time making a decision, advocated for me internally, and ultimately made the experience buying my first car really easy. He gave me his direct number to call if I ever need anything, which I really appreciate. Overall, my experience with Putnam Mazda was great! Highly recommend.

I was super lucky and managed to get the last 2021 Mazda 3 they had in stock with the color and trim that I wanted. They were even able to get one of their own banks to beat the APR offered by my credit union so my monthly payments would be less. Im very satisfied with my car purchase.

I want to say that Nestor is a really good person, he is really nice and gave us good information about the car.After we decided to buy the car, we spent time with Larry (I am not sure about the name, but is the person in charge of credit), I don’t like him, because he was really insistent about an insurance to do the oil change, he told us that only will be 5 dollars more every month, we accepted. But after we reviewed our contract we detect what he increased the months of payments, at the beginning we agreed that will be 60 months, after the service that he offered to us, will be 63, but he never told us that.At the moment we didn’t check every step, because we spent almost 4 hours, waiting for the credit approval and signed documents, but I Feel that is unfair that he didn’t tell us anything about that 3 extra months.I write this so that the people who are going to buy are attentive. maybe it is not a lot of money, but it is fair that they tell you everything that it really is.

My car alarm on my 2012 Mazda 3 goes off without warning, often in the middle of the night. David, the Manager of the Service Department, was so kind and helpful. He spent half an hour trying to assess what was causing this problem. He oiled all 6 door latches, and advised me that the dealership where I purchased this car (not Putnam Mazda) used an aftermarket security system, which was causing the problem. He told me what to do from this point on and charged me nothing for his time and expertise. If I ever buy another Mazda, it will be at Putnam. The level of service and courtesy shown by David is rare these days. I am very appreciative. Thank you so much.

Hands down! The best dealer experience one could expect. We worked with Duchih and he is one of the best and we couldnt ask for more. He patiently answered all our questions, gave us detailed comparison between different trims and helped us to pick the one that matched our budget and expectations. We never felt the pressure that you usually experience at dealerships. The whole process was really smooth. He even stayed hours after the closing time til the paperwork is done. 100% recommend this dealership and specifically Duchih.

I purchased my first car ever here after comparing prices at different Mazda dealers. This place offered the cheapest price. Nestor gave us a good quote for the Mazda cx30 and we purchased it right away. I would strongly recommend Nestor because he didn’t just sell the car, he also showed me all the Special Features of the car and took the time to demonstrate them. Great experience.

I had a wonderful experience at Putnam Mazda. Dominic Paifu Chang was a consummate sales representative. Informative, available, but no at all pushy. He allowed me to take my time and make a decision without rushing me during the 2 weeks it took to make up my mind. The lease / finance representative, Kyle, was also very helpful when it was time to sign my lease and make some final decisions regarding different packages available to me. All in all, I had a great experience and would definitely refer friends and family to work with Putnam Mazda. Thank you.

I had a great experience with Dominic Chang. Buying a car is not an easy thing to me, after comparing so many dealers I chose Putnam Mazda. Dominic is very knowledgeable and patient. He took me for a detailed test drive, explained every feature of the car. He also helped me figure out the best buying option and finally I got my ideal price and soul red crystal. Thanks, Dominic!

Had the easiest and convenient experience with Putnam Mazda. Had been getting information from other Mazda dealerships this past weeks, but Konstantin from Putnam Mazda was the one who helped me finalized a decision. He was upfront with the deal, he was able address all my concerns and responded quickly. Even after the sale, he would still follow up if I was satisfied with the vehicle or if I have any concerns. Would definitely recommend. Make sure to give Konstantin a ring for your future vehicle needs.

I had a good purchasing experience at Putnam Mazda.The Good:- Randy R. in sales was excellent to work with. No pressure, prompt communication, and very trustworthy. Would absolutely work with him again.-The dealership itself is very nice and clean and all staff follow social distancing protocols.- Kyle in finance was very quick and efficient. He wrapped up all our paperwork and had us in and out faster than any other dealer Ive purchased from. He offered clear, concise explanations for every document we signed. Really a painless process.The bad:- The trade-in they offered for my vehicle was very low compared to what other dealerships were willing to give. We got nearly double their appraisal from Carmax.

I had a great purchasing experience with Duchih Yu, who fought hard to get me the best deal in the market for the 2021 CX5 carbon edition. He was extremely patient and thoughtful throughout the entire time I interact with Putnam Mazda. Also, as he speaks mandarin, the communication process was easy and smooth. I really appreciate his honest feedbacks and timely follow ups.Id recommend Duchih to anyone whos interested in buying a Mazda.

He is very patient and knowledgable about cars, and he spent almost 3 hours with me test driving, talking about Mazda cars and answering all my questions with full transparency.

I had an amazing experience with Konstantin for my very first car in my life. He has been super responsive and friendly ever since I sent an inquiry at first. He answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He showed me cool features that I would have not known otherwise. I met other dealers but Konstantin is by far the best in many ways and loved that I got a chance to work with him for my car shopping. At the end of the day, car shopping is a very emotional experience and he is the kind of person you want to have in the journey. Not to mention, I am loving the car. Highly recommend!

2019 Mazda 3We had a wonderful experience with Dominic Chang at Putnum Mazda. We were leasing the car for our sons 21st birthday to replace an old Saturn he had been driving. Dominic took me for a test drive to fully feel the Zoom-Zoom handling and the comfort that was maintained in this small car. I wanted all wheel drive safety for my son and the ability for him to drive it to Tahoe. Dominic has been more than just a sales rep, hes been reaching out to us to make sure satisfaction has continued even after the Honeymoon. Putnam goes out of their way to make sure you are satisfied, and Dominic is a shining star.

We bought Mazda CX5 from Putnam Mazda. The whole process of understanding the lease agreement, test driving & closing the deal was stress free. Dominic Chang was very helpful. He will help you with all the important & minute details that you must know while buying a new car. We couldnt thank enough to Dominic for his support & guidance throughout our visit.No second thoughts while recommending this dealership.5 stars to their service.

Just leased my third Mazda in a row from Putnam Mazda, and the process could not have been easier or more comfortable. Dominic Chang is an exceptional salesperson, and I consider myself lucky to have been able to work with him. Dominic was immediately attentive, honest, and super helpful. He managed to get me a great deal on a new CX-30, and he worked hard to make sure I was completely happy with all aspects of the deal. Importantly, Dominic provided me not only with the usual information on the car and its features but also useful additional written information that he himself typed up for his customers. This information pertained to how to set up the My Mazda App and also how to set up the voice recognition system in the car. Things like these extra instructions which saved me the abundant time it would have taken me to dig through the cars user guide to find showed just what decent and caring person Dominic is and how much he values his customers. This was the best experience that I have ever had leasing a car.

Its a stressful time right now to be buying a car. Covid-19 and the chip shortage are conspiring against you.First things first: this dealership (and all the Putnam dealerships next to it) take Covid-19 seriously. Everyone wears masks, indoor or outdoor, and they ask you to test drive vehicles by yourself instead of sitting in the passenger seat with you. This really limits their ability to show you the features of the car, so keep in mind that itll take a little longer to understand the car than in normal times.My husband and I wanted a crossover, and had narrowed our search down to a few cars which we test drove. Our CX-30 ended up being the favorite which we test drove, but the easy, non-pushy sales here were a big plus for us. We worked with Dominic Chang. He was patient and informative, and encouraged us to sleep on multiple decisions about what would really be best for us. I also appreciated his frankness -- he wasnt afraid to tell us he thought we were making a bit of a rash choice buying an all-black car! You get the feeling he really cares about helping customers find a car their lifestyle and preferences fit with. We also ended up only finishing our paperwork for sale past when the dealership closes at 7pm, and he stayed an extra hour on a Sunday night to explain all the car features.Larry, our finance manager, was sharp and efficient. Both he and Dominic were transparent as they filled out our paperwork -- no surprise fees, and they negotiated the car price with me up front, willingly talking the whole number instead of only the monthly payment. We were offered the usual upsells without much pushiness -- make sure to figure out if those things works for you before you go in so youre not making decisions in a rushed away at the end.Best of luck to anyone reading this on their car search in summer 2021, and hope this helps a little!

My wife and I decided to purchase our first ever new car after the birth of our first born this past year. We looked at a number of makes and stopped by plenty of dealerships. Once we decided on a Mazda we dropped by Putnam Mazda and we could not be happier.Dominic went above and beyond to make sure that we were paired with the car that suited our needs (and budget). He is extremely knowledgeable on many makes of car as well as down to earth in his approach to selling cars.We never felt rushed or as if he was trying to point us in any direction other than that of the perfect car for us.We cannot thank or endorse Dominic enough. Hopefully you have the chance to work with him.

Ion and Konstantin helped me to buy a car. I enjoyed process since it’s very different from other Mazda dealerships in Bay Area, where dealers are pushy and you may feel uncomfortable during buying process...All I can say - check reviews about dealership before buying a car. If you buying a new car expect to spend around 4 hours there.Also, call you bank to change cash out limit on your debit card on the day of purchase or bring checkbook.

What can I say... Putnam Mazda is the most fantastic well-managed car dealership on the planet. BAR NONE! I had the most pleasant car buying experience Ive ever had in my life. In fact it was so much fun I was almost sad when it was over. Any business is only as good as the people that work there and that is what makes Putnam Mazda so amazing, its people.My experience started with the most honest, no nonsense, and best sales person in the world. When Sheng Cheng walked up to greet us and asked what he could do to help us, I told him we were interested in purchasing a car but needed to make sure that the payments would be affordable he assured me that he would do everything in his power to make sure I would be happy. He went above and beyond and totally worked with us to make it happen.And to Mathew Putnum the sales manager, you totally rocked man. Thank you, Thank you to you and your entire staff for the most incredible deal and for making the whole thing happen. You realy are the Best dealership ever.

We had shortlisted 2 models online, and went to the nearest Mazda showroom. It was a really great and smooth experience going through the car, all its features and test driving the CX-5 with Duchic. He then got us a great offer on the car, especially during this price hike due to chip shortage (Its a scary real thing!). Honestly, I was scared to visit any dealership, but Mazda is professional and Duchic was the icing and cherry on the cake. We were all done with the paperwork and registration, and out with the car driving, just within a couple hours in that same 1 visit. Now thats called efficiency!!! Thank you Duchic! Wishing you a million more car sales!

Walked into the dealership, was lucky to run into Dominic Chang who is amazingly knowledgeable and patiently answered endless questions, going into a lot of technical details around the engine as well as the smart engineering that went into the CX-5. I really appreciated him making my kids feel like a part of the process, responding patiently to their queries. He insisted we drive several models so I can make an informed decision, I didnt feel pressured or rushed the entire time. I felt genuinely heard and really appreciated Dominic working with me to get the right car that fit my needs. Excellent service from from start to finish!

Its been about 2 weeks since I bought my car from Putnam and Im loving it. The car drives very well and it looks fantastic. Dominic is one of the most patient and helpful sales persons Ive met so far. He not only helped me find a color that I have wanted (the last one on the lot), but also worked hard to get me a great deal on it. After the sale is completed, he took a step further to make sure I understand all the features of the car, and did extra cleaning of the car as well. I highly recommend Dominic for anyone who is interested in buying a new Mazda.

I was searching all over the Bay Area and beyond (75 mile radius) for a new Mazda before purchasing one through Dominic Chang and the Putnam group.

Ask for Dominic Chang!We were in the market for a cross over SUV and inquired about a test drive. Dominic contacted us promptly and we set up an appointment soon after.He was very knowledgeable about the car’s mechanics, was polite, and patient.He welcomed questions, took time to educate us, and encouraged us to test drive the different trims so we could experience the difference for ourselves. Dominic wanted us to feel confident about a potential purchase. At no time did we feel any sales pressure, which was refreshing.When we finally decided to purchase, negotiations were fairly straight forward. We used Costco Pricing as our basis and went from there. We found Dominic to be reasonable and honest. Note: The sales associates don’t have final say on price, it has to go above them for approval.Overall, we had a great sales experience. Dominic Chang is a true professional.

This review is to the service experience. I received a mail and email reminder for the upcoming service appointment. I called and try to reschedule, but they said they dont have the appointment in the system which I have to reschedule. The same issue happened twice before where I scheduled the appointment, no calls, no emails, and when I called back to confirm, they said its not in the system. All the staff are kind and nice but I do not know what computer system they are using to schedule the appointment, but its overall not a very pleasant experience.

I hate going to car dealerships, and actually this feeling was even exacerbated by another Mazda dealership. For once, though, we had a very good experience, and it was mainly due to Dominic Chang, but everyone was very welcoming and it seemed to us sincere in discussions. We arrived at a mutually agreeable deal. We didnt have regrets that one often feels when leaving the lot. It was just pleasant and we love the car, which helps a lot. Thanks, Dominic!

After visiting other Mazda dealerships, I decided to visit Putnam Mazda based on the positive reviews. Before my first visit, I sent an inquiry email for a new CX-5 and Konstantin at Putnam Mazda replied on my email. My first impression from his first email was that he is really gentle and professional.So I made an appointment with Konstantin to check out the CX-5. Konstantin was very helpful and professional throughout the entire process, and I bought the new CX-5 on the spot!It was my first car purchase, and it wasnt a stressful process at all! Overall, I recommend Mazda Putnam and STRONGLY, STRONGLY recommend to look for Konstantin as your consultant!

Afterwards he walked me through all the car features, plus getting Bluetooth set up before I left the dealership.Thank you Duchih for making the car purchase go smoothly!The new car only went through a quick wash while financing was taken care of. Their cars are stored out in the weather, so expect needing a good detail and wax.

Incredibly valued service and I would recommend him to my friends and family. We loved that he is also bilingual in mandarin. Test drive was smooth. We walked out with our new Mazda and were very happy to have a new addition to our Mazda Family.

Where did the great reviews come from? So coming in for a test drive was pleasant and easy. Car buying is ultimately up to the consumer. I decided a Mazda was not for me. After Ion helped me, he was upset I didnt want to purchase a car. He was rude via text. I attached a screenshot of our convo. I sent a comment to the dealership regarding Ions severe lack of customer service. Garys reply was equally unprofessional. Pass. Avoid. Deal with genuinely nice sales people elsewhere.

The Parts Department is terrible, rude, unfriendly, not knowledgeable employees..I bough my CX-9 brand new here at this Putnam Mazda dealership in 2010 in Burlingame. I was and I still am very happy with the car.Years later, when time came to buy parts they ( this Putnam Mazda dealership in Burlingame ) dont even want to make an effort to help, conversations with them are always very unfriendly, it is close to impossible to find any part and if you do, prepare to pay the steepest price around.. I tried to call them a number of times for parts over the years but they are rude and know nothing almost every single time.. Mazda vehicles are great, I love them, but this dealership is full of snobs and they are only interested in selling you the car, after that you mean nothing to them.. This Mazda dealership is definitely one of the examples of why people might prefer to buy parts online..I do not recommend going to Putnam Mazda of Burlingame, take your money somewhere else!

Purchasing a car here was an easy and smooth process. We worked with Sheng, who showed us many makes, was easy to reach, friendly, wearing a mask. No pushy sales tactics, would recommend! We’re very happy with our new wheels!

Dominic Chang helped in selecting the car. He is thorough and excellent in explaining the features of my new car. Mazda has excellent customer service that if I could rate more than 5 the service, it would have been an 11. You should try Mazda as it is a very good car and service. Highly recommended!

John Odell was my salesperson at Putnam Mazda in Burlingame, where I bought a 2018 Mazda 3 Hatchback Touring. John was absolutely great, went out of his way to help me even coming in on his day off, also dealt with my multiple visits and test drives. I got the price that I wanted and also the color which is white. It was hard for me to give up my baby, my red 2007 Mazda 3, but I needed to buy an automatic. I started my search at the RWC dealership (so, so customer service), then went to the Stevens Creek dealership (did not at all like the customer service) then went to Putnam in Burlingame and am now very, very happy! Thank you, John!

Konstantin and Ion were great! We had our heart set on a CX-5 and called every single Mazda dealership in the Bay Area, and these guys gave us the best deal. There was no pressure, no games, no sales gimmicks, no song and dance. Just the best price and an easy experience. Theres closer Mazda service places to our home, but Ill probably bring our car back for its routine maintenance here just because of how pleasant our experience was.

We worked with Domenic to purchase a Mazda CX-5, great car, easy process and such a nice guy! Worked with us to make sure we could take it home same day and when we swung by to pick it up, it was fully detailed and he walked us through every setting to ensure we could use them to our needs! He was very polite and efficient and made sure we were able to test drive the model/style we were interested in (instead of simply what was available with gas)... all very standard things for a good car place, but the service is all in paying attention to the minutiae details and experience, which is what he did. Very happy with our purchase as it is a new family car for our expecting family (our temp license plate even looked like it said baby, hahaha) Thanks!

Online shopping at this dealership has been disappointment. Overall Mazda as brand is behind other brands such as Toyota for example when it comes to online shopping.I contacted them over e-mail to get a quote. They collected information, but refused to quote me without me coming in. I favor buying Toyota Highlander over CX-9. Toyota dealerships were far ahead of Putnam. They put together competitive offers right away.

My husband and I recently purchased Mazda3 GT Hatchback from Putnam Mazda. We had been looking for the right car for about 6 months, which means we had been to many dealerships around the bay area.While I was browsing for cars and then dealerships that had them I had never seen dealership to have a 4.8-star rating before. That was exciting!Firstly I chose a car I was interested in online and got a quote back from Gary. The quote as simply amazing! Then due to unexpected circumstances, I rescheduled it for 2 times before finding time to go to the dealership. Every time I sent an email, Gary was fast and polite in his replies.When we walked into Putnam Mazda, it was clear that the atmosphere was very friendly. Gary explained that he was a with a customer and referred us to Nelson May. Nelson was relaxed, welcoming and friendly. While Nelson brought over the car we were interested in, my husband and I tried sitting in all of their showroom cars (which is about 4 :)). Thats something I never felt welcomed to do in other dealerships.From there we test drove the car and knew it was the right one, so we started the paperwork, which we finalized with Jason. Jason was relaxed and friendly, but attentive to details, which I appreciate a lot. He explained us everything about the car related to pricing, payments, extra options etc.After that Gary walked through all the options in the car and suggested some settings that he prefers, which was helpful.Everything took between 3-4 hours from walking into the dealership to driving out with our new car.There is no doubt in my mind that if someone is looking to buy a new car in Mazdas price range that I will suggest Putnam Mazda.

We recently bought our Mazda CX5 at Putnam Mazda and we really appreciate working with Sheng throughout the whole process. He was diligent in providing us increasing amounts of information and staying in touch with us. We also very much appreciate Sheng’s flexibility and staying late to accommodate our busy schedule. We also would like to make special mention of Gary who delivered our car. It was obvious that he knew the car inside and out and he gave us the full spiel even though we were the last customers on a late afternoon. We can highly recommend Putnam Mazda and look forward to doing business there again.

I had an awesome experience purchasing my 2021 Mazda 3 at Putnam Mazda with Duchih Yu recently. I gotta say This man is really the BEST. First of all, he is clearly very knowledgeable about Mazda products and patient enough to go through every detail to introduce me my new vehicle. He would check everything is working as well as it is advertised. Then, I have to comment on his amazing personality. I was at a time we have some misunderstanding of the price during email correspondence with other salesman. When negotiating, he would always put himself in my shoe and try to work with me not against me. I mean what else better I can look for. He really made the process as smooth as possible and I drove my mazda 3 home with a price I am happy for. Thank you so much!

My son and I arrived at Putnam Mazda on New Years Eve about 10:30am. We had just finished coming from Towne Mazda which was bout 8 miles south of Putnam. The experience at Towne Mazda was extremely unpleasant with both the salesman and finance manager. When we arrived at Putnam, we were immediately met by a salesman. I asked if I could speak to Gary Gottloeb since the day before I had emailed several inquires to various Mazda dealers, Gary included, looking for the best prices.I had been in the market for a Mazda3 Hatchback for the last 6 months. My son who was recently in an accident earlier in the month was also in the market for a car and he too was interested in the Mazda3 Hatchback. Gary took us both to look at the vehicles, a sport model for my son and the GT model for myself.After my son agreed on a purchase price, Gary helped assist him. He was very attentive to us, even when he had additional customers that needed assistance. Never once did we feel neglected or forgotten. He constantly asked if we were okay or needed anything. The process took about 3 hours from start to finish to complete my sons deal. This included sitting with the finance department and Gary sitting with my son in the car showing him all the options. Shortly after that, after agreeing on a purchase price we began processing my sale. Again, Gary was going between myself and another customer but was very courteous and attentive. He offered us water frequently and also gave us some snacks to munch on during our wait. After a couple hours my deal was complete as well. The entire process included, viewing the vehicle, negotiating the price, getting financed, going through the material of the car, appraising my 2002 Suburban that had 316k miles on it, sitting with the fiance department to sign papers and then having Gary sit with me in the vehicle to go over all the components. Never once did we feel like he was rushing us or not a priority customer. He does well working with multiple customers.My son and I both walked away very happy customers. Gary was awesome.When it came to my deal we did have a small hiccup with the final purchase price that I caught after I got home that evening. I emailed Gary with my concerns and he looked into it. After speaking to him on the phone the following day, he assured me the price I was quoted was correct. After we hung up, I again looked at the documentation of our correspondence and emailed him again, letting him know that I still disagreed the final price on the document. The next day he got back to me and shared that indeed I was correct and I could go back in and sign a new contract. Gary was responsive and very helpful to getting things worked out. This is something I appreciate about his style of work and believe he is a great asset to the dealership. I would recommend Putnam Mazda to anyone and would recommend Gary as the point person to help you with your needs. Thanks Gary! 10+++ Rating! Zoom Zoom!

Putnam is the worst, at least their Mazda location and its 100% because of their sales manager. I was trying to lease my fourth Mazda in a row, the last one which I leased from Putna. Despite having a bad experience last time, I thought as a returning customer I would be treated better- I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG!Although my sales person was really nice and helpful, I was treated so rudely, lied to, and then pressured by the sales manager Cartier that I left. So glad I did, was able to find the same exact car (Mazda CX-5, Grand Touring Reserve) at Mazda is San Francisco with a payment that was $50 less per month.

This was our first time buying a car in the Bay Area, and Mazda Putnam was the only dealer that made us feel welcomed. Our sales agent, Aiden Guzman, was really supportive and followed up with us a few times and made sure that we would get a good deal on our car of choice.

Car dealership visits are almost always stressful and leave you wanting for just a little more courtesy from the salesperson. But Dominic at Putnam went above and beyond, and singlehandedly transformed our buying experience. Especially because he was so well versed with Mazdas design philosophy. He is also a well rounded, well traveled human being and it showed in the respectful manner in which he treated us. His insistence on ensuring we were comfortable, and taken care of throughout the process before driving off (well past business hours after we closed the deal) is rare to see in car dealerships.

Worked with Gary Internet Sales Manager. He was great, worked out the deal before we went in. When we got to the dealership there was no tricks, no bait and switch. The deal we negotiated was the deal we got. He had the car we discussed ready for inspection and test drive. Got through the paperwork blazing fast. Gary then gave a very informative run down of all the functions of the car and even help sync up my iphone with the car. We got an amazing deal for a 2018 CX5 GT with premium pkg, could not be happier. This was the best car buying experience ever, in and out in 2 hours. Contact Gary if you are looking for a great deal and a stress free experience.

This is my first car, after compared all the available brands, I chose Mazda in the end. I went to the Putnam Mazda, therere many customers and the int. salesman was not there, so, I was sit there for a long period of time... However, the salesman called Duchih gives me a really nice impression of this purchase experience! He was very patient to answer all the questions that I had, and its really helpful for me to choose my CX-5. Although I did not get the color I most wanted, the whole experience was excellent... the time I came to the store, Duchih was not on duty, but he still came earlier and pick me up in the bank, while after I purchased my car, he leaded to Cartier, and Lee recommended different insurances very patiently, which I was also very really appreciated. Im a new driver, so he helped me to drive my car back with me after he finished his works. Finally, really glad to met him, and the good qualities he had as a salesman is really impressive!!!

Dominic was great and we worked out all the details over the phone/email. Low pressure and not salesman-y at all. Happy I didnt have to play the game of 4 squares and scribble on a piece of scratch paper. Onsite it took a little longer than anticipated but that was due to my own indecisiveness on an extended warranty and considering my financing options.

We had a remarkably easy and worry-free experience purchasing a new Mazda at Putnam very recently. Dominic was very thorough even under current circumstances of social distancing. We called in a day before inquiring about a particular spec’ed model, it was prepped for us the following morning. I was able to test drive alone (in gloves and a mask, that’s a first) to evaluate the vehicle. Following that we had a fairly accelerated process for closing the deal. Service is top notch at Putnam, having bought 3 or 4 cars previously from various different dealers. Looking forward to using Putnam’s service center because they’re highly rated and beautiful downtown Burlingame is a short walk away. The car itself is a great ride packed with modern tech features and wrapped in beautiful Mazda candy red. Gets a lot of compliments! Thank you Dominic and Putnam Mazda!

My wife and I just bought a CX-5 from Duchih. Duchih was amazingly helpful through the entire process. It was clear that he was on our side, helping us get the best deal possible on the car we wanted. He was also very responsive for questions before we bought and in helping us get some extra options installed after the purchase. I’d highly recommend Duchih to anyone looking for a Mazda; he went above and beyond for us and I expect he will for you too.
