February 28, 2024 · review of Tom Roush Mazda

A little background: I lost my car in a freak accident with a racoon somehow caused my hybrid to catch on fire and I was out of a car for over 2 months. I spent a few weeks shopping for a new vehicle, and I decided to get a used Honda. I saw a few Accords but the one I saw at Tom Roush Westfield's used car lot was not only pretty clean looking, but it was convenient (I was working up the street at the time). I went to buy the vehicle and the staff was actually very accommodating and friendly. I was over not having a vehicle at this point, so I didn't do what I needed to do. Test the brakes, ask about the tires and features, etc. I drove it around the block and said, "okay this is great!" I got the car and drove off. What I didn't realize at this point was the brakes and tires had not been changed. The rear-view camera was damaged. The shroud over the front driver's side tire was torn which made the shroud break. The shroud breaking made the bumper loose as they're all clipped together. My wife drove the car once and very slightly scraped over a concrete barrier and the entire bumper tore off. Since then, even minor inclines or bumps that wouldn't be an issue now are, as the bumper sags even after being reattached. So why review this business two years later? I work from home and I decided to look for work outside of the house and guess who has to drive this $23,000 headache? I never even received my 2nd key I was promised they'd look for. At this point, it's moot but I feel like every experience should be catalogued.

Response from owner

Demetrius, We always appreciate feedback regarding our customers experience here at Tom Roush but looking back at the notes with your purchase of this car back in March of 2022 there was never a phone call, text, email or any communication from you about these concerns and 2 years later you come to google to explain your concerns to everyone but who could have helped you 2 years ago. I want to address the concern you have one by one. This car had a complete inspection by a long time employee and certified tech here at Tom Roush. I pulled the inspection report and the brakes pads were well within spec and in fact checked out above spec. The tires were also above spec and they were rotated and balanced during the inspection process. The rear view camera was operating at the time you purchased the car. There is no indication in the inspection report either of a torn fender shroud which would have been noticed and if it posed a safety concern would have been addressed. We have been in business for over 52 years and have a 4.8 star google rating and we don't offer vehicles for sale that have not gone through a complete vehicle inspection by a certified tech to ensure they are safe and reliable. If you had communicated any of these concerns to us after you bought the car we would have asked you to bring the vehicle into our service department and allowed us to address them but there is no record you ever did that. We appreciate you taking time to leave a review but we cannot do anything 2 years after you bought the car and decide to leave a negative review and never brought any of this to our attention until now. We always work to resolve concerns with any vehicle purchase and you needed to contact us with those concerns back in March of 2022 when you bought the vehicle. We wish you the best.
