I bought a car right out of college at Velocity Mazda (almost 7 years ago). It was an awesome experience; they say everything flows from the top down, and Camden (the owner) is a fantastic leader: simultaneously professional and personal. Anyway, almost 7 years later I have zero regrets about it.As a side note, this place has the fastest guest wifi in Tyler. I like getting my car service done here because of it.
We recently purchased our first Mazda, so this was our first experience with Velocity. We were highly impressed with the dealership, its staff, the selection (even with the current new car shortages), the buying (and trading-in) process...as well as a fair deal, especially while others are selling well over MSRP.We were in the market for a new SUV for my wife. It was a bad time to be looking, but we did it...and made it through! I had my wife test drive nearly every make and model available in East Texas and after our extensive research, we landed with Mazda...and thankfully, at Velocity in Tyler. Previously, she had mostly driven Fords.Now, to stay on topic of reviewing a place...our salesman, Jonathan Villa Montelongo (Product Specialist)-(when we first met him, he was only a few weeks into being a car salesman) was great! He was patient (as we took our time to test drive other makes); he was extremely knowledgeable...both with Mazda and engines/mechanics as well; and he stayed in touch with us...always there to answer any questions we had (or find someone that could help us, if he didnt know) without ever being pushy. We also dealt with John Musoga (F&I Manager) both at the level of sales (he assisted Johnathan very well, we appreciated that) and in financing. Neither of them ever tried to up-sell...anything, it was great! In the end: the purchase, financing and the amount of time Johnathan took to walk my wife through every option and tech included on her vehicle...was painless, smooth and well appreciated.Combined, my wife and I have purchased around a dozen vehicles over the years...both new and used, and this was the first time that I had no regrets...due to the whole process with these guys and Velocity. In fact, I always felt comfortable and held a smile on my face...not always the case for me, when buying any car!In closing, I highly recommend YOU:- Give Mazda a fair look!- Only deal with Velocity!- Ask for Jonathan!- Zoom-Zoom!
I used to be employed at Velocity. I can tell you that, this company was an honor to be apart of. Camden, Jose, John, Sales staff and Service all treated me like family. They were very compassionate to their guests and their needs. I recommend Velocity Mazda still to this day to anyone that’s needs a new or used vehicle. I promise you that you will have an amazing experience and will never want to go anywhere else.
A week to do something as simple as an oil change and you need to book an appointment. Thanks, I wont be back to your dealership.
Wonder people who will help you with your needs and are down to earth. Woody was great to work with and got me in a CX-5 that I love.They are fast, flexible, and continue to work well with me in the service department.
Jose delivered some of the best customer service I have seen in a long time. He went above and beyond to help me! My credit wasnt the best but he took 2 days talking to different banks to get me into a car my family needed. He gave OUSTANDING one of a kind service. From start to finish he was determined to help me get into a car that I could afford. I will definitely be a repeat customer in the future! Thanks Jose and Velocity team yall did Outstanding service!
Just bought a new car here, can’t beat Mazda quality, whichever model you choose. This dealership is more than fair and kudos to Megan, so friendly, helpful and no pressure the whole way through. I definitely recommend!
Sails lady took care of us and John in finance was very nice. There wasnt high pressure, it was a nice environment. They helped get us a good deal on a used vehicle that was like new.
This is the absolute best dealership in Tyler. John in finance was so personable and made the process easy.
Jose Garcia worked with me to find the right vehicle for my needs and within my budget. He made the process easy, and fast. Professional service and nice people at Velocity!
Great experience! I bought my first Mazda from them, few days back - overall good experience. Special thanks to Megan, John and José - they made my process really easy and efficient. Highly recommended!
The customer service Velocity Mazda in Tyler is incredible. From the time you open the door until someone walks you out the door after you business is complete with a smile. They are quick to take care of you and to do what they say they will. They are always ready to help and go beyond and always with a smile.
Call and ask for V (Viridiana). She provides top notch and incredibly friendly customer service. No matter what youre shopping for, give her a call and see what she can find for you. I happened to be on the market for a specific GMC Yukon XL (notably not a Mazda). I live 4+ hours from this dealership and found the GMC online at Velocity Mazda on a Thursday afternoon. That same afternoon, V and I exchanged additional photos and videos of both the Yukon and my trade in. By that evening, we had consensus as to a purchase price and trade in value (subject to in-person inspections). By that next morning, I had arrived in Tyler for a test drive with V and to exchange the vehicles without any fuss. The finance processes could not have been easier (also an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable team member who made the financing part easy to navigate and understand). This could not have been a better experience. Next time I need a car, no matter what vehicle it may be, and despite the fact that Im miles away, Ill start by giving V a shout. Well done.
Buy from Katie! Best honest salesperson to come across in 2021! Has your best interest at heart & very understanding of what a driver is looking for & matching them with that! ❤
I met with Viridiana Garcia, a delightful young woman who showed me a new CX-3. This is a beautiful facility and located right on the 323 loop in Tyler.
They ran my credit without my awareness. I asked for photos to be sent to my phone, not a credit check or loan. I will be pursuing legal action.
Once again we would like to thank Velocity Mazda for taking care of my company vehicle needs and making the purchasing process so easy.
Over all my experience was very pleasant. The staff were professional and personable..The time from start to finish was faster than I thought..I never felt pressured during the process, and my questions were answered in a way that engendered a sense of integrity, trust and professionalism..Overall Velocity Mazda has earned my trust, loyalty and business.
Johnny was great at his job!
Absolutely love my experience they make you feel so comfortable and dont push you. This is my second Mazda from them and would recommend them to everyone. I love my new Mazda 6
Good luck getting ahold of anyone willing to help, consistently terrible.
I recently went over some of my documents that I had signed before purchasing my car. I was offered a PTO coverage on car for additional 2000 dollars. I acknowledge it was my fault for not reading everything on the form, but I just assumed since Mr Garcia was explaining every form by detail, that he would do the same for the PTO vehicle coverage. Mr Garcia explained all the benefits except the coverage details or obligations. Mr. Garcia knew I was a first time buyer and toke advantage of that. I’m not much a talker so they kept asking me all sorts of questions . Mr Garcia knew that I commute everyday for work. Per documents after 60,000 miles driven on the vehicle the coverage expires. I purchased my vehicle almost 2 years ago and I have 3 more years to go. In my case this coverage was pointless to purchase. Of course he didn’t mention that so he could make an extra 2000 dollars. I definitely won’t be returning for any car services or future purchases.
Had to get airbags replaced due to recall. Was told it would take 1 hour and it took 2 1/2 hours.
Traveling in from Indiana to visit relatives and the car breaks down a few miles from the destination and goes into “limp mode.” After almost being run over by trucks on the “loop” I had it towed the three miles to velocity. I had called and explained the situation and even though it was a Saturday morning and the shop was full the service manager Steve said they would take a look at the problem. The care from Steve and his team and the manager was beyond a family experience. This place, and Steve in particular, rocks! Amazing people, diagnosed a throttle body issue and fedexed the parts in and worked it as a priority. Notices another issue and fixed it as well at a amazing price 1/2 of what Indiana would have charged. Friendly, beautiful shop and waiting area, and the best people. 12/10 performance. Thanks Steve and the Velocity Mazda team!!!
I have been purchasing Mazdas for the past 3 years and I have purchased at least 8-9 vehicles in that time frame from Velocity. Why do I go back? I love the friendly service and the service department does a great job taking care of our fleet of cars.
Loving the new car, Megan Hall helped me and my wife and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Thanks to the staff as well! Defintely recommend.
We had such a great experience buying our Mazda here. We started the process from Austin, and Katie helped us to do a lot of the paperwork online; that way, the day we went to Tyler to buy the car, everything was much faster. Everyone was super welcoming and super helpful. Thank you!
Darby my sales rep was amazing! She helped me find the right color and explained everything to me really well. She communicated excellent especially being a long distance customer (did most of deal from home in dallas)...Jose was extremely helpful in getting me the financing I needed and also getting me a warranty that fit my needs. They didnt sell me stuff that wouldnt benefit me like ive experienced in other dealers. The car is immaculate. Darby took me through all the bells and whistles and explained how it all worked. Camden the GM also introduced himself and got us some hats (which we love)! All in all for buying my first NEW car It truly was a great experience and I dont know how it could have been better. I am sending anyone I know there especially if they need/want a Mazda!!!
I just bought my new car mx-5 from Velocity Mazda, Tyler, although I live in Frisco. They provided best price and high quality service. Megan Hall assisted me during my buying process. She was great and changed my decision to buy a Mazda mx-5. I am totally satisfied and highly recommend it. I will visit Velocity Mazda again for my car maintenance too.
If you are looking for a new or used car, Velocity Mazda is the place to go! Dana was the best sales person I could ask for! Dana quickly answered all my emails and questions and I never felt pressured into buying my car. Dana was all about making sure I was getting a great car that fit into my budget! Jose and John were all awesome with the financing and paperwork process! Jose went the extra mile to help me resolve for unforeseen problems and make sure I was able to drive away in my new (to me car)! John made the paperwork quick and easy and explained everything. Dana even went the extra mile to take me and my rental car to enterprise to return it so I could take my car home that day! I would definitely recommend Velocity Mazda to anyone looking for a great new or used car! Ask for Dana! Thanks again so much y’all!
Very nice, unfortunatelythey were unable to help me with what I wanted. Additionally they failed to tell me this until after I had made the trip to the dealership.
Bought a 2015 Ford F-150 from Velocity recently. Had been looking online for specific trucks and happened to spot this one just driving around one night. First looked at the truck about 8:30pm. The owner, Camden, was still at the dealership and met with my wife and I that night and provided great detail on the history of the truck. Took the truck and checked it out and bought it the next day.Had a first rate experience with Camden and the team. Very professional job, non-confrontational, no hard sales job, just facts and straight answers to all questions asked. Would recommend Velocity Mazda.
Very friendly staff and fast service.
Nice place and friendly staff. Not a huge selection of vehicles though.
Katie is awesome with her knowledge and helpfulness and friendly.
I recently purchased a vehicle from Velocity .. John Musoga was absolutely amazing and very helpful ..If you are In search of a vehicle please go by Velocity you won’t be disappointed-Margaret B
Great service from some of the customer service associates, good prices for all Mazda owners, better than repair shops. Why 4 stars then? Because here its almost impossible to reach automotive service by phone.
I had been looking for the perfect used Toyota Tacoma for some time. Checked Velocity Website on 08/16/2018 to find they had exactly what I wanted. I called Jose after finding it and told him I was on the way to buy the Toyota Tacoma. Got to Velocity and Jose had already started the paperwork. Jose already had my info due to buying two brand new Mazda 3s back in 2015 for my children. It was a very quick and easy purchase as usual due to Joses professionalism and knowledge. Mr. Shine also test drove and gave me a great appraisal for my trade-in. I recommend Velocity Mazda to anyone for your next used or new vehicle purchase. Ronny T.
Awesome sales staff. No pressure sales. They work hard finding the right vehicle to fit our needs at an affordable price. We got a fair price for our trade ins and with the help of their finance manager we got a payment that more than fits our budget. Highly recommended. Ask for Dillon Hunt very satisfied with his service.
Velocity Mazda is a small dealership and unlike their competitors, you dont have many layers between you and getting the best deal they can offer. I actually enjoyed the car buying experience and felt they did an excellent balance; not too pushy and making sure I got informed enough to make a decision. Most dealerships drag you through a long drawn out routine and because of this, I try and avoid them as much as I can. These people are friendly, knowledgeable, and are willing to be fair in the transaction. Even the financing guy was easy to do business with! Didnt push unneeded warranties, etc on me. Overall, I love what I got, and would buy another car from them in the future. Ask for Dillon Hunt...hes young and loves what he does. Great salesman...
So far my experiences with the service department have been excellent. Our local Mazda dealer closed which caused my to have to start going to Tyler. Everyone was nice and courteous. They had a loaner car for me to use while my repairs were being made as well. Will definitely be using them should the need arises again.
I recently bought a Mazda CX 5 from Velocity and want to comment on the outstanding customer service provided at this dealership. Camden went above and beyond, to sort out every issue we had to ensure we were able to get the perfect car. When an advertisement says a dealer is honest and reputable, this is one you can believe. He obviously sets an example for every employee at Velocity. This was by far the best hands-on customized tutorial regarding the vehicle Ive ever received. Marcus and Dillon were outstanding and took an amazing amount of time to show me how to safely operate all the systems in the car. I had read that the navigation system was a bit of a challenge. I actually went back a second time and they patiently took the time to walk me through in-putting various addresses until I felt comfortable doing this on my own. I have no doubt that if I feel challenged in the future I can rely on them to help me out again. Jose is the finance specialist and was both patient and flexible, again a great representative of customer service. I highly recommend buying any vehicle from Velocity - Ive dealt with enough dealerships to know.
This place is awesome. Took our car here for a warranty/recall. It is 1 1/2 hours from our house. They were very friendly, accommodating and showed us lots of care. Does not feel like a dealership. Its comfortable. Will come back for sure.
What a DAY! I found this sweet deal of a 2016 Camry. It was super clean! I made the deposit and drove 150+ miles to check it out (over the phone I spoke to Katie, she was AWSOME!) When I got there I was very impressed. This place is no dump! All the cars were immaculate even used ones! Guys! My experience was painless. I was able to test drive and purchase my 2016 Camry in basically less than an hour, all while Katie (Ill say again. Awsome Awsome sales associate) walked me through the features of this amazing vehicle. I strongly suggest shopping what they have. Katie was top of her game and so was the dealership.
I was very impressed with the service department going above and beyond to address my concerns about our 2013 Mazda3. My daughter drives it, and we have around 55,000 miles on it. Its running great and the team went the extra mile to help us address concerns with the window tinting. Many thanks!Also thanks to John Musoga June 2020, helped us locate the ideal vehicle for my other daughter :-)
Purchasing a car was good, however don’t come back and use their service department for anything. Took 2 hours for an oil change, and I made an appointment, and the guy in that department was rude. Not going back.
We bought a used Subaru Forester from Velocity Mazda even though we live southeast of Houston - over 200 miles away. They gave us a fair deal and made it painless. The car has proven to be exactly as advertised and they even delivered it to our doorstep! Their service, flexibility, and professionalism was exceptional. Wed especially like to thank Dillon Hunt for delivering the car and taking care of all the paperwork in the convenience of our home.
Clean dealership, nice waiting area for service department. Staff was very informative. Been here a few times now and each time they did a fantastic job. Timely and informative. Scheduled appointment online and got in and out in little over an hour.
I love driving a Mazda! One is THE SAFEST cars on the road and so fun and luxurious to drive. Velocity is an incredible staff for service and I love doing business with them!
We loved our experience at Velocity Mazda! There was never any pressure to purchase a vehicle we werent sure about. Dillon listened to what I was looking for and found me the perfect car. I love my new Mazda 6! I have been telling everyone I know to go to Velocity for their next car! Jose is amazing and does his best to get you a great deal. We will defiantly be back when we are ready for our next car!
So far the people in charge have been profesional.Will see how they will react in few month.Today ( march 16) I went to pick up the new plates. I asked if they will wash the vehicle, and it was done.Well! Again will see how many times they will be willing wash the car.I will be buying another vehicle later this yearMaybe another Mazda, all depends in the way how (Mazda Velocity)handles the new customer.
I have to say that my experience with velocity has been one for the books! I cant say enough about how professional and courteous everyone I came into contact with has been. I live out of state and as such could not get to the dealer until almost closing time but despite this my salesman Joshua and the finance manager happily stayed past closing to assist with the paperwork and test drive. Joshua especially was very helpful in getting much of the needed work out of the way prior to me getting there. He did his very best to answer my questions and tell me his honest opinions as well. Overall the dealership seems like an exceptionally honest and professional place to purchase a vehicle. Thanks for making my first vehicle purchase in at least 8 years a very positive and painless experience
My husband and I are very disappointed in the dealership!! Purchased a used Tahoe thinking everything was good and not even made the Second payment and found out that the multipoint inspection was “done” and the AC stopped working after we purchased it “so they say” and we have to fix it, because we didn’t buy and extended warranty but was not offered one to even buy.... worst customer service ever!
Very difficult to get touching with someone that is willing to help you
Craig and Jerry are so very helpful and honest. I have been coming to this service dept for years. I bring my Tacoma truck here for services.They even check my car out before I go on a long trip at no cost. I will not go to any other place.
Great car buying experience. Highly recommend.
The whole experience with Velocity Mazda was wonderful. Because I wanted multiple options to choose from, I looked at multiple dealerships. Even knowing how desperate I was to find a car, they didnt pressure or bully me. The service and honesty was so friendly, refreshing, and UNstressful that, after visiting lots of other dealerships, I came back to this one. Everyone was great and I love my car! Its a win/win all the way around!!
Love it. Everyone is very courteous and very helpful
Had a great experience with John! He really listens to what my wife and I needed to have in vehicles. They made the buying experience really easy and no pressure. Thank you!!!
The service department at velocity Mazda in Tyler, Tx is a wonderful place to get your car serviced. The service employees are courteous, kind and helpful. Got new brakes in record time.. They even wash your car after servicing! Thank you for your amazing service!!!
Very good dealership. Brian was amazing. Very good customer service. Best buying experience in tyler!!!
We buy and service all of our vehicles at Velocity Mazda. Wouldnt go anywhere else. Top-notch dealership!
They are very polite they will get to the problem fast and take care of it as quick as they can Ive been with Mazda since 06 and they have the same mechanic that started with me and hes still there so he has some of the best reliable service so I highly recommended and Mazda you cant hardly beat anyways they keep on going cant get much better for car or service and the sales people are very polite yall have a good day bye bye
Shawn Parrish is wonderful! He is so knowledgeable and helpful. I love my new Mazda CX-9. It is so comfortable and drives great!
We were car shopping and we really enjoyed the level of service that we received there from Marcus and Mr. Jones who happens to be the owner. Compared to all the other dealers we visited that day we really enjoyed the knowledgeable staff at Velocity Mazda
Got to say such a very friendly staff that works hard to get you what you want for an excellent price. My experience was so smooth that I already been telling my friends to go check them out.
Quick warranty repair and they washed my car, all is good.
I had hoped to buy in my local city, but that did not work out-long story, so I researched Tyler Mazda dealerships, after reading the reviews on google I opted to check out Velocity Mazda. After owning only GM products and tired of all the recalls I decided to check out what Mazda had to offer. I called and talked with James he was very helpful and located the auto I saw from Auto trader and secured a test drive the next day.I corresponded by text messages and he answered me promptly each time.My salesman was Marcus. He was very knowledgeable and patient showing all the cars features, which there are MANY, and how each one works. I got a great deal and all the features I wanted, except for the remote start which I can add at any time. It was also my birthday when I purchased the auto. Camden the owner gave me a loaner car so they could detail my car and have it ready the next day. I walked in the dealership the next day and I commented how the car of the showroom floor looked great all shiny with a huge shiny bow (I am worse than a crow about shiny things, lol), it was my car! It really looked sharp and I got to keep the bow, because it was my birthday! Thanks Camden it made my special day even more special seeing my car on the showroom floor all dressed up!I couldnt arrive till 5:00 PM to get my car and Marcus stayed way after dark after everyone else had already left showing each and every feature and to make sure I knew how to work through the menus, he set up my XM radio for me and was a joy to deal with. I would shop here again and I will when that time comes. I purchased the 2016 Mazda 6 Grand touring loaded. It drives like a dream!
Very nice dealership. The salesman I spoke to was very knowledgeable and didnt try to pressure me into buying a car when I said I was shopping around.
Best customer service at any dealer Ive gone to
Great experience. Wonderful customer service. I would definitely recommend Velocity the place to purchase a new vehicle in Tyler, or in East Texas!
John and Jose are great! They were patient and helpful and made my car buying process pain-free.
This dealership was recommended by a friend, who is a long-time Mazda driver! I traded in a new-er Lincoln MKX to finalize the deal. Let me just say here that as soon as I got behind the wheel, I lost about 15 years off my age...never to return. My CX9 is so much fun to drive - the handling is great, gas mileage better than the Lincoln (of course), but the driving force was the pure enjoyment I get from this vehicle. Dealership staff always professional, polite, and pressure-free!
Good quick service. They are the only place that I will take my car for service.
I was in the market for a 2016 Mazda and ended up buying a CX-5. I was able to negotiate a fair deal and felt Velocity Mazda went above and beyond. For example, the color my wife was interested in wasnt in stock; however, owner Camden Jones secured what she wanted and it was ready 24 hours later!Mr. Jones stayed personally in touch with me throughout the entire buying process and was hands on to ensure my questions were answered timely and thoroughly, even going so far as to give me his personal cell # - what dealership owner does that?Finance Mgr. Jose Garcia found me the very best lowest rate and was so nice to speak with. He handled the closing paperwork in a very expeditious and timely manner in under fifteen minutes.Sales Assoc. Joshua Lybrand kick started my buying experience to a whole new level. He was patient, friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and went the extra mile to make my wife and I feel like VIPs.Ive been a car shopper for over 35 years, with many dealership experiences throughout the state of Texas. I can unequivocally say Velocity Mazda was hands down my favorite of all time, and would highly recommend them as the go to place to earn your business.
Great customer service. Very nice and knowledgeable
Wonderful place. Courteous staff. Good service. Nice experience.
Great place to buy a car from and great service department.
I highly recommend this dealership! Ask for John Musoga he will make you, the customer, the priority! He goes above and beyond, even after your purchase! Thank you John!Btw, I LOVE my Mazda CX-5 ❤️
Great Employees that are willing to assist you, be it repairs, parts, or sales for new or used vehicles.
I bought a new 2017 Mazda 6 from Velocity Mazda this past week. My experience was fantastic! They had to acquire the car I wanted from another dealership, so they went the extra mile to retrieve it and the deal was awesome, very smooth and with no pressure. Mr. Jones, the dealership owner, has created a close-knit, family-like culture of which you truly become a member with the V on the back of your car. I cant say enough about John Musoga, my product specialist, and Jose Garcia, the finance manager. They were very knowledgeable, helpful and really present the best options for the consumer, then the consumer decides what is best for him/her. And, finally, I have to mention the service department. Craig, Jerry and the crew have provided service work on my previous Mazdas for years, and have treated me extremely well with top-notch work. With the quality of people, service and prices, there is no reason to go elsewhere for service! All in all, Velocity Mazda has treated me as a VIP and I am so happy to have this high quality, stand alone Mazda dealership in our community! (To give perspective, this is the 8th Mazda we have purchased since 1982.)
This was not our first new car purchase and I will say that this purchase could not have gone any better. From a knowledgeable sales rep to the owner of the dealership that spent time with us made this a dealership that I would recommend and go back to in the future.Pete & Judy SukiennikTyler, Tx
Purchased my 1st Brand New Vehicle here in 2015.Good people! Owner and staff were friendly, helpful, and was very patient with me.Over all, Great experienced shopping @ Velocity Mazda! One if the best car dealership I have been to.Only problem Im facing. not sure if its manufacturers error when build this vehicle or what...ITS MANUFACTURER IN MEXICO...but Im already having to come in for checkup because of MULTIPLE ISSUES my car having, one after another..And its only 14 months old with just 10k millage.I mean, if I want to get my car fix every couple of months, why would I spent 28,000 on a new car?Dont give me wrong. I really appreciate the warranty cover all the services expenses. Just wonder if this worth the money. Is it the reliable car I always wanted.ISSUES:1. Horn 📯 stop working2. HVAC not working properly3. Back windows defrost not working properly.To be continues Im sure....(I pray everyday, hope Im wrong)
Top notch people and services! I take all my vehicles there, regardless of make.
The service department did a good job fixing my car.
Velocity Mazda has outstanding customer service and gave us a quick and easy car buying experience! Definitely a head above the rest!!!
My steering was making noise. I took my car to their service department to see what was wrong with it. Was there for about ten minutes when they said they were done. They said it was my tires. Several weeks later my steering locks up just as my kids and I are going around a sharp curve in the road. Yeah, that was my tires. I will never do business with them again!
Excellent friendly staff! Willing to work with you. Walked away in a new car!
Not high pressure, which made our buying decision much easier. Service after the sale is exemplary.
Very helpful and informative car shopping experience.
A lot of people change. Wasnt pleased on how long it took me to make an appointment
Great Folks and really good vehicles.
Best new & returning customer service.
Great service, nice employees, reasonable prices
No pressure dealership! Owner was very pleasant!
Beautiful facility and knowledgeable service department.
I received my free oil change
Friendly, helpful repair check in.
