Consumer Comments for Safford Brown Mazda Fairfax

Consumer from Burke, VA
Apr 09, 2020

We have used Brown's for automobiles we've purchased there. Unfortunately, services have lived down to the low expectations of a dealer service department. Services have often not been completed when they said and there has been upselling and price surprises. This is a shame because we've been pleased with the car's we've purchased from the dealership.

Consumer from Annandale, VA

They always do a job satisfactorily, quickly, and moderately priced compared to other car care places I’ve used.

Consumer from Fort Belvoir, VA

Long waits for service and when they do come it will be full retail price. 30% markup on any part you will need. Look around for another shop
