Customer Testimonials
Very professional and easy to work with. Ashley knew everything about my car which made the experience that much more enjoyable.
I found a dime size ding in my new car over the Holidays. Purchased late (after dark) on 23 Dec 2026. I reported ding several day later. The sales team reported to the manager. I was told I waited too long, Paintless Dent Repair fixed it for about one hundred dollars. You lose my future business, including maintenance, over that?
Happy with our car and how everything worked out. Thanks to your sales team who answered all of our concerns
Very courteous and very professional! Ask for JEWEL BALABAGNO. I love my 2025 CX-30!!!
Great experience with a great salesmen Demarcus Horne was awesome so helpful next level service! He makes it personal and totally on point with every single detail
Service department is efficient, and they don’t try to sell you any unnecessary services.
I’m glad Jewel was the one we met at Sandy Sansing Mazda. She was very professional and was every bit the person we were hoping for as our car salesperson. It was a pressure-free and we had a great experience with her. I highly recommend seek her out if you come to Sandy Sansing Mazda. Thanks Jewel!
I recently purchased a vehicle from Sandy Sansing Mazda and had the best car-buying experience I’ve had in 25 years. From start to finish, everything was smooth, efficient, and stress-free.
Keith Lanier was my salesman, and he provided excellent service throughout the entire process. He was prompt in his responses, listened to what I was looking for, and worked with me to get the deal I was asking for. I truly appreciated his professionalism and dedication to making the experience easy and enjoyable.
Demarcus was also incredibly helpful in finalizing the deal and ensuring everything went off without a hitch. ... Read More

Jewel and the dealership has been very professional and it has been a pleasant experience.
Worst New Car Experience Ever – Do Not Buy From Sandy Sansing Mazda!
As a military member, I’ve purchased several cars privately without issue, but my experience with Sandy Sansing Mazda was by far the worst new car experience ever. After trading in my vehicle, we were told we couldn’t take our new car until we provided unnecessary paperwork, even though we knew better. The manager, Demarcus, was rude, unhelpful, and completely unprofessional.
They made us run around to the DMV for hours, only to be told the dealership should have handled the paperwork. We had to go back ... Read More

Service is efficient and reliable. Staff is extremely friendly. We spend the winter near Pensacola and have our Mazda serviced before returning home. Highly recommend.
We were very happy with our experience with Sandy Sansing Mazda and their staff! From the salesman to the closer. Everyone was very helpful and listened to our needs. I would highly recommend Sandy Sansing Mazda and their staff for you all you car needs.
Sandy Sansing Mazda in Pensacola is the best! I recently had service done on my CX-70 and as usual, I received the best customer service and the best service on my car. Annie in the service department was wonderful and really took care of me. She kept me up to speed on everything going on with my car, and made sure everything was completed, even recall fixes. I believe I’ll be a customer for a long time, they never disappoint!
They are very courteous and professional ,expedient in service and do great work ; a top notch service department
Just terrible customer service and everything that you expect when it comes to an untrustworthy car dealer. Contacted the dealership about a vehicle on their website, their sales team reached out multiple times to let me know the car was in stock and did I want to make an appointment to come in and see it so that it was ready when I arrived. Made an appointment for Friday afternoon, took the time off work, arrived at the dealership to discover that the car wasn't even at the lot yet. They tried selling me a completely different car, told ... Read More

My salesman Alex Floyd was very kind and extremely professional. Alex made the buying process very easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Alex and Sandy Sansing Mazda to everyone.
We had problems with a vehicle we bought the week before. Brought our concerns to Mr. Sansings assistant and they made everything right. We went back a month later and bought another car. We went back to Alex Floyd at the Mazda dealership. If we need a vehicle in th e future we will be going back.
Mr. Alex Floyd was extremely helpful with the car buying process. The team at Sandy Sansing Mazda were very professional. 10/10 recommend!
The whole process was enjoyable and the salesman was very explanatory in regard to deal details and the different options.
I bought a new cx90 PHEV and worked with Brody. He is a new salesman and did a 10/10 job. Seemed very honest and not playing games. If he didn’t know an answer, he found out!
Service dept horrendous! Unacceptable! Car there a month not necessary! Kept get'n the runaround.
Shane was very helpful and made everything easy. Everything was ready when we were told it would be.
Great dealership been going there for years. Tracy and the Service department has always been awesome and Kaleb from the sales team has always been great.
Shane Miller is absolutely wonderful to work with. We felt no pressure and got us a great deal. Fast, efficient, and very nice.
I walked out of Publix today with groceries. My fob would not open the door of my car. I called Mazda service and Logan worked with me explaining how to unlock a key in my fob to get the car started. He was kind and patient and stayed on the phone until we got the car going. I went directly to the Mazda service and met with Logan to see if we could determine the problem. If the fob battery starts to go bad, I would have gotten a message on the dashboard to alert me. The car started up ... Read More

Paul Turner was our salesman and he was awesome!! We got a great deal and was in and out in no time!! Best experience ever! Charla (Finance) was great too. She explained everything very well and was very efficient!!
Bait and switch, that is how explain what this dealer does. I found 2024 Mazda 3 advertised on their website. I went to the dealership, told the salesman about the car I saw and he found they had the actual car (VIN verified) that was advertised. After looking at the car I decided to buy the car. I told the car would cost several thousand dollars more than advertised. I then, again, showed them the ad on their website. The site showed, and still does show, the car price listed as follows: "MSRP $31,925," "Sand Sansing Mazda Discount -$3926," &... Read More

Always ready, you can be early, they are fast, courteous and friendly. They keep you informed with detailed videos, realist price estimates, texting, online tools, flexible schedules and comfortable waiting area. They don’t try to upsell you and just allow you to get the work needed done quickly.
I am with all of the 100s of reviews that say STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could give them a 0, i would! I am still trying to get a tag for a purchases from October! Our "e- signatures" & title paperwork was forged. Left the dealership in a Diesel that a "joke" (supposedly a joke anyways) was made about them filling it with gas. 20 mins later, we have a $12k repair for a fuel system. The idiots even listed it as Gas on the paperwork. I was mailed a check for half the parts, that was supposedly ... Read More

Jim and all the service team are always courteous and friendly. The services are done right and I feel confident that my car is road ready.,
They were Pleasant and Professinal but forgot to give me the key remote. Still waiting.
Worked with Jim Krossman. Extremely pleased. Courteous and professional. Took me into shop, showed me damaged area, explained what needed to be done and why. Quoted very reasonable cost. Work done quickly and correctly. And, VERY IMPORTANT, no one hammered me to purchase additional products and services. Thank you Jim. I will gladly recommend you and your service department.
DeMarcus was awesome in helping me purchase my first car! Let me drive multiple cars and did not pressure me into a purchase.
this is about the service department. I had an issue with my newer car (3 weeks old bought elsewhere) not starting and doing other weird things after it was jump started. The people in there were all friendly and helpful, especially Trent who handled everything. They let me use a loaner, kept me updated and repaired my car in a timely fashion. Car problems are frustrating and I was a bit upset but they made everything easy and I left my car there with a smile on my face. I certainly recommend them and I can't say I have ever ... Read More

Very helpful team of professionals who show interest in their customers and who work together really well
The dealership itself was very clean and everyone was extremely friendly just walking around. Jewel was absolutely phenomenal when it came to getting me into a vehicle. Extremely patient and truly went above and beyond.
The staff was very friendly and the environment was very comfortable. I will recommend to anyone. I work with DeMarcus and he was amazing. DeMarcus was very patient, knowledgeable, and he went above and beyond to make sure I explore all of my options. I would recommend Sandy Sansing Mazda and definitely ask for DeMarcus, you won’t be disappointed.
My service on a Saturday morning was very fast. Their new method of contacting customers by video and text is very efficient. Trent at check in was courteous and Tracy, as usual was helpful and also very courteous.
This is a great dealership. The employees give their all in assisting you and are willing to work with you. Sales person DeMarcus Horne was awesome to work with.
We needed to replace 2 vehicles at the same time, not an easy task and Keith, James, Jake and the team at Sansing Mazda were able to get both done with same day delivery. Everyone was very helpful and cordial. These are our third and fourth Sansing purchase.
DeMarcus was amazing. He provided knowledge, insight, & OUTSTANDING service with a smile! He is HIGHLY recommended.
Second time buy from DeMarcus in less than a year. Unbelievable service! Will continue to do business in the future.
Demarcus at Sandy Sansing Mazda went above and beyond to help me with buying my first car. He is so knowledgeable and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Demarcus made me feel like a person instead of a paycheck!
Thanks to DeMarcus Horne!! Job well done and I’m very well pleased.. Thanks again
Process was smooth and easy. Demarcus was very nice to work with and was very knowledgeable of the vehicle and features.
My sales agent Demarcus was excellent!! He explained everything and provided me with VIP service. He made the process simple, trouble free, pressure less and casual. We converse as if we had known each other for years. Which made the two hours I was there seem like thirty minutes. I was blessed to purchase a 2023 Mazda CX5. I hope everyone at Sandy Sansing knows that Demarcus and Mr. Lett are special guys and a blessing to their customers. I have purchased several vehicles throughout the years but this by far has been the best experience. I have been telling everyone ... Read More

Everyone was helpful and very personable, from the moment we first arrived until the time we drove away in our new vehicle!!
Mr. Horne provided an outstanding buying experience for us. We looked at other comparative vehicles but in the end “Marcus” was the most knowledgeable and professional person we met with. I explained our expectations and comfort zones. He exceeded our expectations and we now own a new Mazda CX5. I look forward to referring my friends and family to your dealership. God bless, J Lathan
Thank you SandSansing Mazda for helping my wife (Valarie) and I find vehicles that we are truly happy with. Great customer service! Marcus Horne with your sales team provided us with a hassle-free experience that we both would highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase or lease a new vehicle. Thank you again Marcus!! It was a pleasure to do business with your team.
Prompt and consistent follow up with the purchase process which was all done by messaging and phone. Delivery was great
All salespersons should be like DeMarcus Horne. Demarcus was knowledgeable, helpful, and very professional. Demarcus has a passion for the car industry and it shows. Demarcus provided me with many purchase options and allowed me to make my choice without being aggressive. It was a pleasure to shop with him. Demarcus was patient with me and went out of his way to make sure that I was satisfied and that all of my needs were met. He even delivered my car to my home. Thanks to Demarcus, I now own the perfect car - the Mazda MX-5 Miata!
Demarcus is absolutely the man!!!! He made sure we was able to get in the vehicle we wanted. He really cared about what we wanted and needed, and went the extra mile for us. And they were extremely fair with our trade in.... They treated us like family...
Sandy Sansing Mazda was a pleasant and enjoyable experience. DeMarcus Horne was our sales representative and Paul Turner took care of the finance and warranty extras. Both of these gentlemen were, professional, friendly and made our car buying experience a very enjoyable one from the test drive to finishing up the paperwork and a good tour through the dealership to include the service department and early bird drop off process. Great job to all, yes the receptionist complimented my shirt with a nice smile and friendly attitude and the sales manager stopped by for a good short conversation and a ... Read More

DeMarcus Horne was an excellent salesperson. He made the transaction comfortable and not scary. He was a true professional. I would highly recommend him.
DeMarcus Horne came through again for us. The used vehicle we purchased a few months ago through him needed a part at the time of the sale, and he took care of getting it ordered and installed. Very pleased and impressed with the whole experience, from the initial sale to the follow-up. Thank you, DeMarcus!
Tyrone was fantastic! Buying experience was great and they were able to work a great deal given the market.
This dealership has the best customer service I’ve ever witnessed honestly! Our salesman Robert Martotelli went above and beyond what I’ve seen any other salesman do. (Not only was he great at what you’d exoect of a salesman, he sent an already “clean” car back to be detailed again before we left with it. He also helped to transfer the biggest portion of my daughters stuff from the old car to the new one. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone!
Damarcus was AWESOME his knowledge and experience was impressive! He worked with me and got me into a beautiful vehicle! Thank you ❤️
I have used Demarcus twice now to buy vehicles. Both times have been amazing. He listened to what I wanted and I’ve been VERY happy with my vehicle selections both times. I highly recommend him.
BEST BUYING EXPERIENCE! Demarcus Horne went above and beyond for myself and my family. He helped my husband pull off the BEST Christmas surprise. He went and got my new suv and made sure if was perfect for our test drive then made the whole buying process smooth and easy. Kenny and Jake were just as nice and helpful. The whole dealership made us feel like family! Thank you Sandy Sansing Mazda for being so AMAZING. Demarcus Horne not only cares about his customers but goes above and beyond for his community.
If there was a Service Excellence Award at Sandy Sansing, it should go to Demarcus Horne without a doubt. He made the car buying process extremely easy. As a woman, going into the dealership alone is scary on its own because of the fear of being taken advantage of simply because I am a woman. That is not the case here. Demarcus not only listened to what I wanted, but he took in the fact to understand what I needed. After presenting him with my situation, within a days time he was able to deliver a vehicle of my dreams. ... Read More

Best Buying experience! This purchase was our second purchase at Sandy Sansing Mazda. I spoke with DeMarcus Horne and he was able to locate the vehicle I wanted the same day. He arranged our trade-in, had all the paperwork ready, with both trade and sale completed in less than an hour. He reviewed all of the new features of my new CX-9 (I traded in a 2018 CX-9), he even found all the pre-sets from my 2018 and put set them up in the new one. DeMarcus has sent 3 personal video's with information about the new vehicle, helped set up my ... Read More

Absolutely amazing! Demarcus was very helpful and he’s the best dealer I’ve had!! He was very patient and really wanted to make sure I got into the car that I wanted and he made sure that I really like it, and that I did! He was very kind and didn’t rush me, superb customer service! I would definitely recommend someone to him! Thank you so much Demarcus!!
Demarcus was absolutely exceptional. He went above and beyond what was expected. We spent two days there just because we weren’t sure if the kind of car we wanted to get and he was the most patient person I have met. And I’ve got a lot of cars in my day. He is absolutely exceptional. His customer service is top notch. What an asset to your dealership.
Everyone I have dealt with at this dealership has been very helpful and has been a pleasure to work with. The facilities are very clean and orderly.
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP! YOU WILL BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF! THEY WILL NEVER RETURN YOUR MESSAGES OR ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR LETTERS! THEY HAVE THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SALES DEPARTMENT! I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF IT WERE AN OPTION!
I never heard a single word from this dealer. All I wanted was detailed information about the car.
Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive to us. I felt as though my business was a priority for them. I never had to wait on anyone to help us, we had the pleasure of being helped by three extremely attentive staff members. Tyrone Murphy was very honest with us, never felt as though he was pushing us in one direction or another, only trying to fit us with the best option for us. The Monday after our visit I called Kenny Yates, who was very quick to answer all questions and to work with us on getting the vehicle we ... Read More

Very professional service advisor Jim Krossman very knowledgeable. Kept me informed on progress of the repairs on my car. He is a great asset to the dealership.
We've been doing business at Sandy Sansing Mazda for many years, with respect both to purchasing and servicing our vehicles. We have always found this dealership to be honest, reliable, and fair. Our purchase of a vehicle this week, and trade-in of a car we purchased there several years ago, was another very positive experience with them.
DeMarcus Horne really went above and beyond to assure we purchased the right vehicle for us at the right price. He listened carefully when we described our needs, zeroed in on vehicles that fit the bill, and then worked very hard to ... Read More

Rose took care of me when looking for a car. She was very nice and helpful when it came to looking at the type of vehicle I was interested in. She is honest about the car I was interested in which made the process tremendously easy. I bought the first car we looked at together. I would always recommend Rose.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful. It is a pleasant experience and I would recommend to my friends.
David Dye would not answer any questions, instead dodging with generic commetime.nts. A waste of
Rose was a genuine joy to deal with. She treated my husband and I with respect and kindness. We are 100% satisfied with our new CX-30! Great service, great deal, quality product. What more could we ask for?!
Fantastic job done by Aaegiean!!! He will be my go-to guy for all my car purchases from here on out. He was super polite, very engaging and knowledgeable in the variety of vehicles I considered before my purchase with him. He went out of his way to ensure I got to test drive anything I might be interested in and worked very hard to ensure I was fully satisfied with my purchase. Sean worked diligently on the numbers side of the house and gave me an extremely fair trade in value. The loan application and financing process was super smooth ... Read More

Rose Parnell was so friendly and attentive. My car buying experience with Sandy Sansing was the smoothest I’ve ever experienced. They did not have the car I wanted on the lot, so James Lett found one and had it brought in just for me! Everyone we dealt with was awesome. I love my CX-5.
Paul and Kenny are awesome to work with! Very professional and fun people. Mazda owner for life!
Devin Arnold was the man. Best dealership experience I've had. He worked with me over three days. We test drove a ton of cars. He wasn't pushy at all and I could tell he really wanted me to find the car I wanted. I felt really happy with the deal I got and had a fun time during the whole process.
Rose was amazing and everyone we worked with was great as well. They made the process super easy and quick!
Rose Parnell was awesome!!! Rose was knowledgeable and patient with me and all of my questions. This was the first time that I went into a Dealership and did not feel handled. Rose was genuine and down to earth. I recommend Rose to anyone who wants to talk to her best friend about buying a new car, or a car, period (not only Mazda). Everyone there was professional, clear and up front with everything. At no time were there any surprises. When I got my new car it was clean and smelled awesome! There’s nothing like that feeling of ... Read More

Vehicle was not detailed well at all. Used face mask left in vehicle, floor not vacuumed well. Dashboard was dusty. Just not detailed well and they had it in back for at least 45 minutes.
DeMarcus was amazing!!! Very patient, kind and he made me feel very comfortable! Definitely recommend!
I had a great experience at Sandy Sansing Mazda. Although, I did not even buy a car from there I was treated with respect and as a priority. DeMarcus was very helpful and only made the process smoother. He was an honest up front car dealer that you rarely hear of. I went to three dealerships that’s fat and he was by far the best salesman.
Great Communication with my sales agent. The sales agent also had Excellent support from management.
DeMarcus Horne was awesome. I told him what I needed and he searched and found me the perfect car for me and my family. He was quick with his responses and made this process really quick and smooth. He also made sure everything was set up properly prior to me leaving.
This dealership and especially the salesman, Paul, were absolutely phenomenal to work with. I bought a car from out of state and Paul did a virtual walk around for me and absolutely managed all the details to make the sale happen. I would highly recommend this dealership and I would give an extraordinary kudos to Paul the salesman. I have bought dozens of cars from all over the United States and this was the easiest and most efficient transaction I’ve had. Paul made this a wonderful experience and you should definitely ask for him if you go to this ... Read More

Dr. Marcus was very professional and friendly on our first meeting. He showed interest in what I was looking for in a car. He was very knowledgeable in the process of purchasing a car and answered questions without hesitation. I was very comfortable in asking and answering questions without feeling as though I was asking unnecessary questions. I would readily recommend Dr. Marcus to family and friends.
Great services, provided suggestions regarding preventing maintenance, and if you are a veteran or active duty military you get 10% discount.
Rose Parnell and the whole staff at SSM we’re amazing. They treated me like family and took good care of all my needs and I’m so happy and excited I chose them. I would recommend to anyone to give them a try! 10/10
Angela Rose Parnell was amazing She worked with us for a couple days trying to find the car on our price range . I would recommend her for sure !
Demarcus was an absolute professional and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide through this decision process. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable which only helped the process along. My first time having a new car in over 20 Years!! Truly a blessing and I cannot thank you enough!
This dealer ship is always on point they let me know when my inspection is due they are very courteous and helpful I would recommend all of my friends to go with sandy Sansing
I have been in 3 différents dealership for my 3 previous cars ,never had a professional and honest seller as DeMarcus Horne .
