MAZDA
Based on recent customer reviews, Mazda is facing significant customer experience challenges across multiple dealerships in South Africa. Customers consistently mention extended waiting periods for parts, often citing delays of several weeks to many months for components sourced from Japan. A recurring theme is poor after-sales service, unresponsive warranty departments, and inadequate follow-up on complaints. While some patrons appreciate the vehicles themselves and isolated friendly staff interactions, the overwhelming sentiment reflects frustration with communication breakdowns, dismissive management, and a perceived lack of accountability from both dealerships and Mazda Southern Africa.

My wife's Mazda 3 has a problem and does not want to start. I organize with Mazda Hatfield Group Midrand to have the Mazda delivered to them. They investigated and found that a fuse needs to be replaced but the fuse is not viable in South Africa. Not at Mazda Southern Africa or any other dealer and that it might be available in 3 to 5 weeks. That is where Mazda Southern Africa's customer service and After Sale Service comes to an end. Bad luck that you need your car to drive to work or that you make your living with your Mazda. Mazda SA attitude is we sold you the Mazda you bought it believing there is After Sales Service, as promised, but bad luck Mazda SA don't care and don't give a dam. I tried all the different Mazda dealership other than Hatfield Group and confirmed that the fuse is no available at any dealership. That means, the way I see it, that all Mazda owners are at the mercy of don't care Mazda Southern Africa. The fact that you can go online right now and book a test drive for the Mazda 3 means it is a current model. Mazda Southern Africa on their website states: "Mazda Southern Africa recently partnered with five local influencers to bring the magic of everyday moments to life through a unique content-led campaign, Wonderrrr Rides. This series set out to prove one thing: that every drive, whether to a school pick-up, a gallery, or the hospital, has the potential to be unforgettable" how must I get to the hospital if Mazda South Africa does not have the part that I need for my Wonderrrr Rides, IT'S ALL A LEI. MAZDA SOUTH AFRICA DON'T GIVE A DAM. Once they sold you your Mazda be prepared to not drive every drive, pick-up or drop off as your Mazda stands without assistance to be fixed when and where Mazda SA feels like if it is 3 weeks 5 weeks 6 months who knows. If they where serious about customer service they would have made a plan that I could drive to the hospital, school, work and Wonderrrr Rides! Then the icing on the cake is I organize to collect the car from Hatfield Group Mazda Midrand. The reason the car will be until who knows when standing at the mercy of the weather and other unsavoury possibilities. When I get into the car it is clear that it has been used as a slumber and snack hangout. The driver seat has been reclined to a nice sleeping position and folded up and pushed into the steering wheel is a packet of finished crisps. I'm afraid to think what the car would have looked like if it stayed there for 3 to 5 weeks or longer and what ells the staff of Mazda Hatfield Midrand would have done in the car. It is disgusting that customer service has come to this. It is clear that trusting companies to do the right thing is not an option anymore. It is clear that customer service is not important to Mazda SA or Mazda Hatfield Group Midrand. I will never buy a Mazda in the future and taking the Mazda to a Mazda dealership, also does not seem the right choice.

Good morning, I bought my first ever Mazda last year - June 2025 - a CX-5 Carbon Edition. I took it for its first service - 15 000km - to Mazda Menlyn on 29 December and mentioned that my air-con is not working. I was informed that I need to wait for permission from the warranty claims department. A week later I contacted them to find out that the part that is needed (only R 100) is on back-order untill 29 April 2026. The DP of Mazda Menlyn "escalated" it, but when I contacted him after a week, his answer was that I must wait until April. I have sent an e-mail to customercare@mazda.co.za on 7 January, without and form of feedback/answer. I also contacted them through their website on mazda.co.za, without any feedback/answer. In the meantime, I must drive around, with a "new car" in this heat!!! It is the year 2026! How is it possible that it takes 4 months to get hold of a part??? This is the last time that I will buy a Mazda and I will go out of my way to tell EVERYONE I know about this type of service!!

Good day, I'm writing this email with a big disappointment with Mazda, I own a Mazda cx30 2L 2021 model my car had a EPS malfunction, then I took it Mazda Vaal for full diagnostics and they discovered that the electric power steering failed and they won't be able to fix it this year as it will take a minimum of 9-12 weeks for them to get the parts and I pleaded with them to give me an alternative since they are the experts in this regard, they said unfortunately they will need an amount of R49000 in order for them to order the part from Japan,but meanwhile I should drive the car as they don't know when the part will be shipped to SA. It took me a week to get a registered workshop to assist me. Early this morning, the Workshop Technician took the car to Mazda Vaal to get assistance with the calibration on the steering wheel. They don't want to assist and the car was brought to them early this morning and what makes it even worse, they have the nerve to be rude while I am trying to understand what was taking them the whole day to calibrate the steering wheel, since the car was taken to them in the morning. I am disappointed with this unprofessional behaviour from this Dealership. I am going to send this massage across the whole social media platforms and news if this issue is not resolved. I truly love Mazda but I hate type of treatment from their dealership because I used to service both my Mazda's at Mazda Vaal and now today they treat me like trash. I want to see if this is how Mazda South Africa deals with their Loyal clients across the whole nation then I will never buy Mazda again in my entire life nor recommend it to anyone. They do not care how inconveniencing they are, perhaps out of "spite" that the EPS was not fixed by them. Very disappointed ‼️ I will really look forward to hearing from you soon. Regards TI Masiloane

De*****ing clients service warranty. I bought my Mazda CX5 in June 2022 which included the premium for a 3 year service warranty. I was not yearly reaching the service interval of 15 000km but taking in the car yearly for service for the past 2 years. 2025 July the car displayed the service light which I took it in and they cleared the light on the spot without taking it inside the workshop. For the past 2 service intervals I did them in August as it will sure me the warning sign for service but this time it did not show any until now in October. I booked it in at Mazda Polokwane for service which was supposed to be the last 1 for my service warranty and I was surprised to be told that I have forfeited it since I did not bring in the car in August, I then have to pay cash R4 200 to be assisted! How can i forfeit the money I have already paid? This branch is the 1 which tempered with the service light as obviously when they were clearing the light in July it extended the months of service period! If ever I have to pay for this last service, they have to refund me every cent I paid within my car instalment for the past 3 years to date. My car goes for yearly service intervals as it is not driving a lot or long distances, it is currently at +-30 000km in 3 years period. Please assist as I even asked from the service manager(Rikus) at the branch for assistance but he told me that's how they work, which is a robbing business since that service is not free but payment already done! Mazda Polokwane 015 0010200.

Hi there, just bought a new Mazda CX-5. No Mazda maps. Was told it would be R6000 to install. Weird. Was advised to use Apple Car Play instead. I got half a tank of fuel. I asked why it wasn't full. They said they don't do fuel tanks. I asked for parking sensors which I would pay for. They said no need. You have a reversing camera. Ag, shame. Poor Mazda. The red wine was nice but a full tank of fuel would have been nicer. The passenger headliner was soiled. Do better guys.

Based on recent customer reviews, Mazda is facing significant customer experience challenges across multiple dealerships in South Africa. Customers consistently mention extended waiting periods for parts, often citing delays of several weeks to many months for components sourced from Japan. A recurring theme is poor after-sales service, unresponsive warranty departments, and inadequate follow-up on complaints. While some patrons appreciate the vehicles themselves and isolated friendly staff interactions, the overwhelming sentiment reflects frustration with communication breakdowns, dismissive management, and a perceived lack of accountability from both dealerships and Mazda Southern Africa.
MAZDA has a TrustIndex of 2 out of 10 on Hellopeter, based on 15 reviews in the last 12 months. Hellopeter has tracked MAZDA across 319 total reviews. How is the TrustIndex calculated? →
