Easiest car buying experience Ive ever had. No smoke and mirrors, no fake promises. Bill treated us well even though he was extremely busy. Wife loves the new ride. Will do business again if I ever need another car. Well worth the 1.5 hour drive to save the headache!
My family and I have had the best experiences at Lester Raines Mazda over the past few years. My wife bought her new Mazda 30 the year they came out with the model and we have absolutely loved it. They gave her a great deal and great service. I just recently purchased a Mazda 5 and it was a great experience. I’m looking forward to experiencing the great service as I move forward.
Sam Johnson was excellent. He explained everything thoroughly and was extremely patient with a grumpy old man. Everybody else I met, including the service manager was first rate as well. I couldn’t be more pleased both either car and the experience.
This was easily the best car buying experience Ive had in the last 15 years. No pressure. No I need to go talk to my manager or hidden agenda and fees. Straight forward, honest, friendly. Go see Sam Johnson; you will be glad you did.
Lester Raines is easy to do business with. Willing to go the extra mile for the customer and Is very knowledgeable about their products and options. This is the 2nd vehicle I have purchased from Lester Raines and salesman Sam Johnson. He is always willing to reach out to the banks for a better deal. Will definitely recommend and purchase further vehicles with this business.
Very nice and knowledgeable people. Bought my first new car here and I recommend others to do the same. Bill is the man!
I purchased a CX-30 from here and Sam Johnson was really nice and quick about it. Took credit app over the phone to save time at dealership which was nice, also wasn’t dishonest they did not add any additional fees to drive up the price. Their price was their price and I appreciate that about them. I would recommend for anyone interested in Mazda.
Brought home our 3rd Mazda from Lester Raines last Friday. Sam Johnson is terrific to work with and very personable. Sales and service is second to none!
Sam went out of his way to get us into a new Mazda CX-9. This was the exact color and interior we had been looking for!Working with Sam was like working with a close family member.Thanks again Sam!
Sam Johnson was a great help at Lester Raines Mazda. He did everything he could in helping me get my new Mazda 3. Excellent service!!!
I had a great experience at Lester Raines Mazda! This was my first car purchase and the staff was very helpful and answered all my questions. I felt absolutely no pressure and they let me take my time to make a decision I knew I would be happy with.
Wonderful experience at Lester Raines Mazda! No hassle, very easy purchase. Highly recommend asking for Sam! He was great to work with!
Sam made purchasing a new vehicle so easy. I absolutely love my new CX-30. He was also available for any and all questions that I had about my purchase. I would highly recommend Lester Raines Mazda to anyone in the market for a new vehicle.
Sam Johnson was wonderful to deal with. He was easy going and honest.
Bill Rickert was wonderful to work with and made our buying experience super easy. He called within 24 hrs of our purchase to check in with us and offer tech support. I’m so happy we bought our first Mazda from Bill Rickert.
Fun experience, Bill was an absolute beaut to work with! Didn’t hesitate of going over the details with me as many times as I needed
My husband and I had a great buying experience! We really appreciated that Bill took the time to go over the vehicle with me. This was by far our easiest and most timely car purchase ever. We will definitely recommend our friends and family to Lester Raines Mazda!
I think this is my 8th car from Lester (but who is counting) Kurt Morganroth has always done his best to make it a win for both parties:I did promise him this was the last one but stay tuned.
A no bs car dealership. Friendly, knowledgeable accommodating salesperson. No pushing and no scamming at that last minute. Recommend highly
This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. Sam is very knowledgeable about what he sells.
We have bout a few vehicles from there and seem to always go back they have a great selection to choose from and the salesman Salman is a pleasure to work with . I recommend any looking for a great vehicle with great prices to go there
My wife and I were in the market for a new CUV and after much research we decided on the Mazda CX 30. We visited Lester Raines Mazda in Charleston on a couple of occasions and met with Sam Johnson, one of the sales reps. Sam was extremely helpful in explaining all the information regarding the different trim packages. We reviewed all the info that Sam had furnished and decided to purchase the CX 30 with the premium trim package. While going through the purchasing process, Sam was again extremely helpful in explaining everything involved. We now are the proud owners of a Mazda CX 30 and thank Sam Johnson of Lester Raines who provided professional service throughout the process.
Bill Rickert did an excellant job for us. we would buy there again
Excellent service and professional salesmanship!
They were really helpful and friendly after I had a really bad experience at a local car shop. They got me the part I needed quickly so I could get it fixed and we’re able to update the software in my Mazda. They are very professional and helpful. I highly recommend them.
This was the best car buying experience my husband and I have ever had. We didnt go into this expecting to purchase a Honda. Then I talked to Felix and he was very honest and helpful. We gave him our needs and he helped find a vehicle that was a perfect match for us.Everyone that we show it too is impressed with the warranty, the features and the service we received. I would encourage anyone who is going to purchase a car to go to Lester Raines and look before making a purchase. Even if you dont think you are a Honda person you may be surprised.
I recently purchased a new Mazda 6 from Lester Raines Imports and was pleased with the entire experience. The salesmen were courteous and professional, allowing me to drive the cars by myself without the usual passenger seat sales pitch. Their offers were reasonable and they didnt insult me with a low-ball offer right off the bat. I liked the way the same salesman handled every part of the transaction. He appraised my trade, approved the deal, arranged the financing, and handled all of the paperwork without having to consult the man behind the curtain or hand me off to anyone else. They made the whole process painless and convenient. I would recommend them to anyone in the market for a new car.
I have been here a couple of times. One of the best places to go for your next auto. Friendly but not overbearing salesman. Clean and easy to get to. On a main road.
I had a wonderful experience. They were so friendly. I had a very unexpected issue and they were able to fit it in between cars so I could make it home (I live 2 hrs away). I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
I always have excellent service at Lester Raines Mazda. Everyone is always very friendly, and they do a great job with my car. I highly recommend them, especially the service department.
My daughter and I purchased a CX5 from Tim Russell. Shopped a couple other places. Best price and by far the friendliest place we had dealings with. Love the vehicle. Would do business with them again.
Very helpful and upfront about any problems. Love my new car. We would definitely shop with them again. Thanks for your help Tim.
Tim R. Was amazing to work with. He is a no pressure salesman, that will take the time to work with you to find exactly what you’re looking for. Outstanding experience for a first time buyer!
Made an appointment to have vehicle inspected. On Thursday 1/11/18 dropped vehicle at service area and 30 to 40 minutes later it was complete. I arrived early an had two customers ahead of me. Happy to get it done, the old sticker expired November 2017. Didnt even notice it till the end of December.
Outstanding dealership! Tim Russell was really wonderful to get my gorgeous new CX-5. I am going to enjoy having Lester Raines service my new car.
$$$$$Mazda Service: Service after the sale is full-retail parts replacement rather than parts repair. For example, sometimes a drop of oil on (perhaps) a blower motor bearing would save the cost of replacing the entire unit for several hundred. Sometimes the work is satisfactory but sometimes not. Whatever, its always difficult for me to leave the place without feeling as if the people who dealt with me directly and the people who worked on my car dont personally profit on the pricey parts they sell. More than once they have suggested $1000+ repairs that were completed elsewhere for substantially less. Lasting repairs. Ive come to learn that after-market parts & repairs can be just fine.Nevertheless, Im [signed]The happy Miata owner
Tim and Sam in Mazda sales went above and beyond to help me out during my recent purchase of a brand new Mazda CX 5. They were extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and patient with me. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new vehicle. You will not be disappointed!
After looking for a year at several different cars, I finally committed to making my car purchase at Lester Raines Imports. The salesman (Dana) made what is normally a stressful decision for me (a single lady) easy. Dana was wonderful to work and went the extra mile to quickly answer my questions! I would highly recommend both this dealership and Dana for a vehicle purchase.
Great place. I bought my first and current car here. The staff made it as painless and streamlined as possible. They werent pushy, told me only the facts about each car, and Im very happy with my experience.
Tim was N amazing and patient salesman.I appreciate everything he did for me.
Yes, I was very satisfied with my oil change and wheel rotation for the first time, in your service department! I was so impressed with your very clean and beautiful service-waiting room and the wonderful snacks and drinks you had available for your customers. Thanks again, and I look forward to my next oil change!
Awesome service, great price, and the clerk actually knew what a Mazdaspeed 3 was, where other dealers Ive visited had no clue it existed. Will definitely come back when service is needed.
Best place around. No pressure. Just what you need.
We had recall work performed on our 2007 Mazda CX-7. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the work was performed in a timely manner. We were very impressed with this dealership and would recommend it to family and friends.
The service Manger addressed me by name, the waiting area was clean and comfortable. As always, I left assured I could be confident in knowing my car needs had been met with excellence. Just one of the reasons Im driving my 8th Honda, all bought from Raines Imports!
My salesman is Tim Russell. I really appreciate his sales approach. Very informed on the vehicles I was interested in. Took his time with explanations and no high pressure at all. Will definitely recommend Tim and the dealership to others.
Clean and convent..
I was impressed with all aspects of the experience. The selection was outstanding. Our salesman, Salman Azmat, was extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, and helpful. I have been pleased with the professionalism of the service department at Lester Raines, so I felt good about dealing with them in the future. I love my new CR-V. The side camera is an incredible feature. No more blind spots!
Had a recall on my car, hot me in fast and Andrew in service is the best
I appreciate knowing what is going on with my car, and some things that I will need to know due to wear and tear. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me and make me better informed of what I can do in the future for the long life of my car. :)
LeslieDo NOT go to Lester Raines Mazda. I took my car there for warranty work and mysteriously,less than 24 hours after I get it back, the engine light comes on and I now need $3000 worth of work. But, they will offer me a savings of $800 if I purchase a new car from them. They are HORRIBLE!!!!!!
Absolutely love my new Honda Civic. Love the performance, color and the new sleek design. I would rate Lester Raines Dealership at the top of the line. Bubby Combs went above and beyond his call of duty as a salesman. We choose the car and he even met us half way and delivered the brand new car. We will definitely be return customers. In fact this is the second car we have leased from this dealership. Would gladly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a great car and great service. Thanks again Bubby for all that you have done for us in making this purchase.
Dana was able to get me into the car I wanted for a very good price and the service has been excellent so far. I would recommend getting a vehicle from them as they are great to work with and have some great deals on amazing vehicles with great APR rates.
The new service area is terrific and registration moves very smoothly - it was also an added delight not to have to wait very long for the car to be serviced.We love both of our Hondas and the service we receive...
A very pleasant experience buying our Honda Accord Touring sedan. Bubby Combs took care of us from the moment we walked though the door. He answered all of our questions and provided technical advice about our new car. We would recommend Lester Raines to anyone looking for a good deal without any hassle or pressure. Ask for Bubby Combs when you visit.Chris and Becky
Great service. No hard sell. Ask for tim Russell. Love my new car
The Service Department at Lester Raines is the fastest, most organized I have used. It is one reason I am on my fourth Mazda.
Great dealership. Friendly staff. Easy to deal with.
I lost my honda accord 2005 key and Ive just got new key done today. Even their schedule is full they still help me to make the key. And the price is so much reasonable, its just 130$ for cutting and programming the key. With 3 other dealers that i asked, they charge around 250-300$.
I had a great experience ! I called due to problems with my Mazda, I was 2 hours away and he fit me in. They took care of the problem and a recall that I didnt know about and was very professional and helpful!! It was worth my 2 hour drive just to have such great service!!!!
Good work
These guys are awesome. I used them for a routine service and they treated me like I was buying a new car. Great service.
My husband took my car in and all issues were addressed. The service department was very competent and friendly. We will be back!
I really loved the way Tim has dealt with me. Appreciate that.
We were very happy with our experience buying a Mazda3 from Tim Russell at Lester Raines Mazda. He was so very helpful and courteous throughout the process.
The car was beautiful when completed, but it took 6 weeks to complete and I feel that it should have taken half that time.
Tim was very helpful!Very professional job!
The service was done quickly and correctly. I very much enjoy sitting in the remodeled and beautiful building!
I bought a Honda CR-V car with sales manager Kurt Morganroth. Even though, I was new for this place, he helped me a lot. I got all the colors of car in this dealership location. I love this car.
Treated well, not pressured, & dont feel like I got taken advantage of. Not sure what more a buyer could ask for. If youre looking for an import, ask for Bub. Treated me right.
We had s fantastic buying experience with Kurt Morganroth. He listened to what we wanted & found the perfect car for my family!
We had the freedom to look around at the cars in the showroom without any interruption or hassle by a salesman. When the time was appropriate, Bubby offered his assistance. There were NO high pressure sales pitches. Bubby listened to me and helped me choose the car that was PERFECT according to my wants and needs. I am on cloud nine!There were no hassles and no games to play. The price IS what it is. Nothing to negotiate. I like that.Wanda Dailey
Bubby was great to work with. We were very satisfied with your service and we are excited about our purchase.
Drove the car on Sunday and purchased on Thursday of the same week. Absolutely love the vehicle and Tim, the sales manager, was great in working with us and gave us a great deal!
Quick and fantastic service! The guys are nice and friendly.
It was a great buying experience, Tim Russell was very knowlegableabout the Miata, and made this buying experience the best one yet.Thank You
GREAT PLACE, WONT OVER CHARGE YOU.
Nice, helpful salesman-Bubby Combs. Very nice car, very satisfied with the whole deal!
Great sales and service staff however the owner was unfriendly and loud and if not for the sales and service staff I would not go back after encountering him this morning in the show room.
Outstanding Service! Thank you Joe Pauley for the excellent service!
Lester was great to talk to as well as Sam treated me like family. I would recommend them to any and everyone, Thank You Lester Rained Mazda
Got my inspection sticker and the fellas there are great.
Very friendly and speedy service. I will be continuing to use them!
Great experience! Would definitely recommend the dealership to anyone!
Quick. Good. No messing around. A+++
As always, the appointment at Lester Raines went well. They always treat myself and my daughter with the utmost respect.
The service staff at Raines is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable.
As usual, the routine service was handled promptly and efficiently.
Great bunch of guys good service very good !
They treat me like family every time Im there for car maintenance or even when purchasing a new car. They dont pressure you and their prices on car maintenance doesnt screw you out of a ton of money like some dealerships will do.
Very courteous and accommodating.
Service rep always professional.
Polite courteous and quick 🤗
Excellent and quick service!
Lots of great deals
Had a warranty extension issue with the suspension, they had them replaced both of the pieces within a few hours and had me back on the road!
Fast. Friendly and convenient.
No hassle shopping.
Quick, personable and very professional
