“Ivan is a knowledgeable and kind salesperson. He knew all about the CX-50 and always made us feel like his top priority. In the end, he found us the exact color and trim we wanted at another dealer and got it shipped over in just 2 days. We got the car we wanted at a price that we felt was fair. We drove it home today and couldn’t be more pleased.”

“Came here to say they have the nicest people all around. My CX5 battery died two blocks down the street and instead of calling a tow truck company or uber to buy a battery jump starter. I thought I would walk in the dealership and see if anyone can help. I didn’t have high hope (because the bodyshop at Shell station nearby told me he couldn’t help me and I should call a roadside assistance. I just thought it’s such a waste of resource for someone to come out all the way with a big truck to jump my car) so thought it would be dumb to not try the dealership because I was close by. To my surprise, our salesman from 5 years ago was there, Abaz, (he didn’t remember me but that’s totally okay) he greeted me while he was already with a couple who were actually looking to buy. I told him my situation and he walked around the office looking for a portable jump starter. 5 minutes later, he came and said we don’t have one here but let me go to the shop to see if one of the guys there can come out with a car to help you. 10 minutes later, an even nicer gentleman came and drove me two blocks to my car and helped me start my CX5. We exchanged some warm conversation and I told him, I was happy to get help especially from my salesman from 5 years ago. This gentleman told me he has been there almost 15 years and everyone is very good there and treats everyone good. I am so happy to hear and see Evanston has such a warm community and a humble car dealership exists in our community! If you need a new car, i am saving you time and trouble and highly recommend a Mazda especially this Autobarn Mazda.
Someone gives Abaz a high five when you see him!”

“My husband and I have been looking for a mid-sized SUV for 3 months. We did our research and had 3 models with our top choice being the Mazda CX-5 Turbo. We were very frustrated as we tried to buy several cars across a variety of dealers in the two states we reside in and a few other states we were willing to fly to pickup the car. We were struggling to have dealers respond to our inquiry and interest, including cash offers for an out the door price.
Jason, a Manager at Autobarn Mazda in Evanston, was our salesperson. He was terrific to work with, as was his team including his Manager and the Business Manager. They responded promptly to our initial email with a straightforward response. We were able to negotiate smoothly and swiftly to a very fair price. We then met in person, had a test drive, completed all the documents in person and online. The transaction was done in a day start to finish in a day. We love the car just picked it up!!
It was an efficient process, they were prompt, easy, fair and professional to deal with. I would highly recommend Jason and the team at Autobarn Mazda. I am looking forward to meeting the owner so I can compliment her on running such an outstanding auto dealer and business!!.”

“I recently purchased a 2017 Mazda3 from The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston, and I can honestly say this was the best car buying experience I’ve ever had!
I’ve always had a pretty negative view of car dealerships and expected the usual pressure and sales tactics. But this dealership completely changed my perspective. From start to finish, I felt safe, respected, and never pressured into anything.
As a woman, I’ve sometimes felt like car salesmen see you as an easy target, but that was absolutely NOT the case here. I never once felt taken advantage of. The entire experience felt transparent and genuine.
Ivan was incredible to work with the whole time and Jonathan was just as great. They were patient, kind, and answered all of my questions without any pressure. It truly felt like they wanted me to feel confident in my decision.
I drove 2.5 hours to purchase my car, and it was completely worth it. I would make that drive again without hesitation. I left with a sense of peace and confidence in my purchase.
I will absolutely be back when it’s time for my next vehicle. Highly recommend!
Thanks to Ivan and Jonathan for restoring my faith in the car buying business! Also, for those that would be interested to know, this dealership is female-owned, which I loved to hear!”
