I purchased a vehicle and it went in for 1st service. There were a few issues. I thought that they were trying to take advantage of me. But to my surprise, the service manager Bobby Dodd was incredible. He is a rare person in today's world .He went above and beyond all expectations. They came directly to check the vehicle and fix all issues, I would definitely recommend dealing with garlyn Shelton and Bobby. Great people.

Was very pleased with the customer service, Specifically Jonathan Sawyer, over at Garlyn Shelton Mazda here in Temple. Despite my hard lines, these guys were able to make a great deal go through. I had a great experience from sales, to deal, to conclusion. John in finance and the GSM Marshall were both great as well. Looking forward to the new car!

I have worked in the past with Marshall at the Mazda dealership. At this time, he referred me to Sal and I worked with him with my recent purchase. I have always experienced respectful professional treatement from Marshall and Sal. They both worked very hard to get me into my car and I appreciated them very much. I always recommend Garlyn Shelton to anyone looking to purchase or trade.

Marshall and Salahin have great customer service skills and are great business men. They made getting my new car easy and as painless as they could. I’ll always stick with Mazda and it’s mostly because of the excellent customer service that I always receive when I am there especially from the service section as well

I recently purchased a Mazda CX 70 from Garland Shelton, Mazda, and the experience was fantastic! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of, thanks to my sales person Sal McClain. He was extremely knowledgeable about the CX 70, walking me through every detail and answering all of my questions with patience and clarity. What stood out the most was how friendly and genuine he was, never once did I feel pressured. I left feeling like I got a great deal on a car I absolutely love.

Marshall the sales manager at the Mazda dealership must be a magician. He is good. He is short of a medicine man. Not a healer. Not holy,but close. I've purchased 3 vehicles from Garlyn the past 5 years,2 in 6 months and Marshall,John and Sal are my go to people. Garlyn has top notch service department. You bet I will keep referring business your way. Thank you.

This is my 3rd Mazda, the first time from Garlyn Shelton. The service was friendly and the staff was knowledgeable. I was always a Mazda 3 girl before but now that I'm old as dirt, SUVs are so much more my speed. You can't beat the warranty. I do wish they had something more like Onstar on the Mazda line but the ride of the CX5 is soooo smooth and quiet that I am still an extremely happy fat girl.

I went in this dealership just to “shop around” since I know I have a lot of options where I’m at in central texas. My husband and I were greeted by our lovely salesman Mr. Eric Pope who was incredibly helpful. He was pleasant, professional, and very transparent.

One of the best Mazda dealerships I've been to thus far. I took my CX-50 in for routine maintenance and the service department was very thorough on the video provided but most importantly, very honest. I feel confident in their work ethic.
