Anthony was amazing to deal with! I was in and out of there in 2 hours. The first hour was to inspect my car and price out my options and the second hour was him showing me all the cool things that my CX-9 had in it (plus a few minutes of signing :)). A real no haggle experience and I highly recommend the team at Scherer. Their service team are who keeps me coming back!

Anthony was the perfect gentleman as I walked into the mazda dealership after dealing with other dealers. Anthony was patient, kind,and very knowledgeable about his product that he was selling. He put my mind at ease by answering all my questions and allowed myself to make the purchase decision of my mazda. I truly love my vehicle and very grateful to have encountered Anthony on such a journey. Thanks Anthony for everything and hope to work with you again.

Great experience! Ryan took the time to go over all the great features on my new CX-5. Scott, the sales manager, came out and showed off the turbo engine to my husband. Great price and excellent service!!

What a fun morning I had with the 2020 Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring edition. Thanks Lyle Arnold for your hospitality and time. Two things stood out to me during my visit, Lyle shared about Mazdas philosophy on cars, how they should fit you like a hand in glove, and how it was not like the hard sells and high pressure tactics everywhere else Ive visited are like. I also loved how it felt like I was walking into my own living room, public edition.

I wanted to take a moment to personally thank sales associate Anthony Chaney for his assistance in finding a safe reliable vehicle for my child. Not only was he friendly and knowledgeable, I feel he went above and beyond to work a deal that as a single father I could afford! If your in the market I would stop by and ask for him! Thanks brother!

Go see Scot the sales manager for a great deal and customer experience. Their whole team goes above and beyond to help their customers. They have a Great selection of Mazda’s too.

Typical car dealer with friendly staff, but doesnt stand out against the crowd per say. I took my car in for a recall (which is obviously a free repair) and them being a business immediately started lying about different things that supposedly werent working on my car (all blatant lies) in an attempt to not let me leave without giving them some money. Obviously, businesses dont like doing free work, they like making money; and I dont blame them for this, thats business. Its how they go about making that money that bothers me. Little do they know, I do ALL my own work, and the only reason I was there was for the free recall service. I bought the car brand new with no miles, and this was the first time in 5 years of ownership that I had EVER brought it to a dealer...and it will also be the LAST. They claimed my car wouldnt start (another blatant lie) trying to sell me a battery. They DID test the battery (which was getting towards the end of its life to be fair) and I would have needed a battery in the near future regardless; but that is not my point.What angers me beyond belief is when someone lies straight to my face and takes me as a fool just to make a few dollars. I understand that a car dealership is a business, and they need to make money, but there are more honest ways to do so. My point is this: they (and probably all dealerships) WILL take advantage of you at any and every possible opportunity. They were very friendly, and kind, I will admit, and Im not trying to be rude. Im just frustrated with being lied to, and wanted to give a heads up to all. Lets see if they leave this honest review up.

Our family went in to purchase a new Mazda CX-5 on cash, given some of the cars raving reviews and popularity. Anthony Chaney, their certified sales consultant was sitting at the very first desk as soon as we entered. He did not bother to look up to greet us. A mug of tea had spilled over on his desk and computer, which he was not bothered by.I caught his attention and asked him if we could check out the CX-5. Despite the fact that there were 3 chairs in front of his desk (and we were 3 people), he did not bother to offer us a seat and simply started searching his computer, all in his own comfy, reclinable chair. He spoke in 2-3 word phrases, giving us little to no attention. He then took 10-15 minutes to get a CX-5 ready for us to test drive (we wanted to test drive it), although there was not a single other customer in the dealership at the time. After the test drive, I handed him back the key and he did not have ONE (yes ONE) word to say in response. I literally walked out of the dealership after handing him the key.Let me just say, I have been to many dealerships, have purchased & leased cars from dealerships, and this was the most rude and inconsiderate salesman I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I am purchasing a car from you brother - please, show some consideration! While I am still interested in a Mazda, due to this experience, I will not be purchasing as much as a tire from Mazda Scherer in Peoria.

Everyone was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied - especially our sales person - thank you Jason!

So glad I drove from Springfield!.Excellent Service.Friendly Atmosphere.Didnt Rip Me OffThank you guys!

Best car buying experience I have ever had. We purchased two vehicles from Scherer Mazda at the same time and it was by far the best buying experience ever. Keri is the best. No haggling needed. We knew exactly what we wanted and with the Scherer cut to the chase price you know exactly what they need out of it to stay in business. If you are in the market to buy new or used, go here. Shop local buy from a local family that is more than willing to do whatever it takes to get and keep your business.

Best dealership experience yet. They immediately called back with info on the car I had specifically asked for, not just a similar one to try to push a deal.Never felt pressured into making any decisions here.They work with you to get you what you came for, not for something kinda closeThe staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.One small cosmetic issue was found, and pointed out to me by the salesman, Jason. This was before I even sat down or agreed to anything. They also worked with me to get it fixed at a place closer to home.Im sure I will be back for another Mazda when the time comes!

Very friendly and professional staff including sales and service staff. I love my car and look forward to working with Scherer Mazda for years to come.

My wife and I just purchased a new vehicle from Scherer and primarily dealt with Jason Haskett. Jason is a professional. He was genuinely concerned about the delivery process and helping us understand the vehicle. He was a vehicle expert and cares about his profession and his customers. We will recommend Jason and Scherer and Mazda.

Have been coming here for several years. Their service is fast, and their prices are fair.

I really enjoyed working with Keri. She is absolutely kind, honest, and not pushy. Work with her & I guarantee she takes care of you! Best experience with a dealership....100%!

Every helpful & kind. The best car buying experience I have ever had!

Top notch Customer service on All levels! Highly recomend Scherer Mazda to anyone needing assistance.

I was initially introduced to Scherer Mazda when they offered free oil changes for all healthcare workers during the pandemic. The ease of scheduling this appointment was fantastic. I made the appointment online and was not spammed with emails and phone calls following. I received one confirmation email and then showed up for my appointment, without ever having to talk to anyone. Once I arrived, I was blown away by how friendly everyone that I had contact with was. During your oil change, you receive a video of the auto mechanic performing his inspection. Admittedly, I have questioned whether other dealerships actually inspect all that they claim to. After my appointment, the maintenance performed and results of my inspection were thoroughly reviewed with me.Additionally, I took my vehicle in for the check engine light being on and they were able to check the code and reset it without charging me a dime. While this may sound like a no-brainer, there are a lot of dealerships where I come from that would take full advantage of a young girl with no automotive knowledge and would charge me for their time. This proved that they are good, honest people.They have a nice waiting area as well with several leather chairs and a TV.I decided to make this my new home for automotive care (even though I own a Jeep). Honest, friendly, knowledgeable people who will take great care of you and your vehicle!

Thanks to Keri at Scherer I purchased my very first car. I came in having a car in mind, something simple not too fancy & more importantly; reliable. We discussed my price range and priorities, and not once did I get the “pushy car sales vibe”. I was quoted an hearty APR from another company & Scott, was able to get me a deal 15% less. They were all terrific throughout the entire process & I look forward to recommending anyone to this location. I am so happy with my choice, thanks again!

I am currently on my fourth Mazda ranging from a 99 protege to a 2012 Mazda 6. These guys have been absolutely stellar. Even with my old car they were once able to give me a loaner for an entire month while they worked on one of my vehicles.Fannin service is who you want to talk to. He is a straight shooter and he will treat you incredibly fairly he will not charge you for things you do not need. I am a Mazda owner for life because of sheer Mazda and DAN specifiy.Thank you Dan

Absolutely love this place & the people that work here. Always welcoming & helpful. The only dealership I trust.

Best dealership in town! Employees really care about satisfying customers!Jack Patterson

There is no better resource for the blind and visually impaired on what to do and where to go and what they provide and then this place.

Clean helpful staff took goog care of me

No nonsense dealership,nice,straight forward people. Pleasant experience....i did buy!...zoomzoom

Great place

Keri is a great salesperson.!!! The Scherer team as a whole is incredible.Go above and beyond to be sure you get what you need at a price you can afford!!

Friendly, quick, accurate service.

Jody and Anthony at Scherer Mazda helped me find the PERFECT car for me. They were extremely helpful and personable during the process. And not to mention I’m in love with my car! I would highly recommend this dealer when looking to purchase a new vehicle.

Had turbo go out 13 months ago had them put a new one in, thank god we got the extended power train warranty with a cost of 4grand for the new turbo. Now new turbo goes out 13 months latet and find out the last turbo ate up all the warranty amount... Never was told there was a spending limit when we purchased the warranty when we bought the car. Find out also that there was only a 12 month warranty on the last NEW turbo. And now they want another 4grand for another new turbo!!!! Seriously.. 13 months and the NEW turbo is dead......

Dishonest dealership. There are so many better Mazda dealerships in the area that are professional, dont waste your time here.

My husband and I purchased a CX5 from Scherer last December, and after that great experience we returned last weekend to grow our family by 1 more car! Anthony Chaney helped us out and got us a great deal on a used car. He gave us an experience that was just as great, if not better, than our first one! I highly recommend Anthony if you want a friendly, approachable guy to get you through the buying experience.

Id give them six stars if I could, but for some reason we stop at 5. Dan and Randy in service are excellent and always able to make me feel like my schedule actually matters - a refreshing change from many dealership service departments. The sales side is delightful and always willing to help go the extra quarter mile. I have leased several Mazdas over the last couple of years and they make the process as pain free as possible. Id recommend them to friends and enemies alike.

Jimmy the owner was always honest.

Jenni Ryan is an amazing car sales woman! Not only is she honest, credible, knows her stuff, and extremely efficient... she also is always working! I met her on a weekend off at the Ivy Club, and she was encouraging me to come in and see what she could do for me. She is 100% honest and is not your shady car salesman. She will do whatever it takes to make her customer happy!Best car dealer in Peoria!

I had a great experience with the Mazda dealership in Peoria! Jenny, Kerri and Dan all treated me like family and made a such a big purchase so easy. Ive never felt better about a purchase of a car! Its such a great feeling knowing that not only do I have a reliable vehicle but that theyve already shown that they back up what they say, its not a sale to them, its a lot more!! Thanks to the team but especially these three who really stood out! You definitely stand above and beyond in your line of work!

I was just sent a text from Brandon Houseworth with this threat. I have since, blocked him from my phone. It is 10:30 at night, I live in Charlotte, NC. You do the math!!!Jenni,¿I read your post. Fyi I own real estate and other ventures. When I took the job I did so wanting to add an income stream. If how Jim Scherer spoke to you that day was professional and not abusive I dont know what to say. However my wife, another individual and past coworkers all heard him speak in an abusive tone. I will ask them all to post a comment each if your post is not removed or edited. ¿In this situation where I am innocent and was disrespected I will not be attacked.I wanted to comment about the last post from Brandon Houseworth. I am the prior sales manager at Scherer Mazda that he was referencing. I worked side by side with Jimmy Scherer for almost 7 years. I grew up in a family owned business myself and know what it takes to succeed. In all of the time at Scherer Mazda, I never once felt disrespected. Jimmy leads his team with passion and enthusiasm and always has kept it real. Jimmy and I understood one another and had mutual respect. He would literally give you the shirt off of his back, as would I. We were highly successful in Peoria selling Mazdas and winning Presidents club several times. I would ask that people take a good look in the mirror when publicly bashing others. From a guy who had no job then was given an amazing opportunity, and then lasted only 2 months.....ZOOM-ZOOM

Ive bought a Mazda from Scherer before and have always had good service. Im a loyal customer and even though I wasnt looking for a Mazda this time around Anthony Chaney hooked me up with a great deal on a 2018 Toyota Corolla. A+ customer service!

If you want to spend 4 hours at a car dealership and haggle with the 4 square sheets, this is not the dealership for you. This place represents the Mazda racing team in that they are streamlined, efficient and upfront. I spent 1/4 of the time here and still had all my questions answered. Jenni Bennett has great customer service and the people seem trustworthy.

Thank you for the amazing service and free oil change for healthcare workers!

Nothing but good things to say. Sales representative Anthony Chaney was polite and professional, and answered all my questions. Good people, great service and I am thrilled with the car.

Ive ordered a few things over the years through their online parts catalog and Ive never had a bad experience. Prices are always competitive, even with shipping to MD! If they dont have a part I need theyll go out of their way to look up other dealerships that may have it and theyll give me their contact information as well as the part number Im looking for. I just bought a 2005 Mazda6 from a private seller and I was looking for an OE cargo mat which apparently is harder than it sounds... While Scherer didnt have it in stock, they gave me the contact info of 3 other dealerships that did. Thats awesome customer service. Ill continue to do business with them as long as I can.

Everyone is so friendly and enjoyable to be around. From the minute I walked in the door for my oil change until the minute I walked out I was shown gratitude for my business, something you don’t see or feel a lot these days.

My family members and I have purchased four excellent vehicles from them, and been very satisfied with their services and products. On top of that, I recently used their service technicians for a significant problem with a VW GTI. They got my vehicle in the next day, diagnosed and remedied the problem quickly, and got me back in the drivers seat at a VERY reasonable cost. I highly recommend!

Very nice people

I went there for a key. Excellent place. Jim Scherer is a great guy. Had a nice talk with him and he put people (customers) above the money. I really like his philosophy and personality. Great place.

Best Sales and Service around. Pat Scherer and Jenni Bennett are the best people to work with. Going above and beyond is their specialty. You are never a number but a person (and friend). Buying a car for some is like having a tooth pulled. But with the Scherer Mazda family buy a car or having service done is painless.

Just bought a Mazda 3 i Touring from Greg Abbott at Scherer Mazda and I couldnt be more pleased! I had done my homework online and knew what I wanted, just needed to take a test drive to make sure I fit in the car (Im 64) and see how it handled. Loved it! Was even more impressed with their extremely competitive offer on both the car and my 14 year-old trade in! Greg was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and a joy to work with. Everything you would want in a salesman. The store in general seems very laid-back and family oriented, and youre treated like an friend, not a number. Thanks Scherer Mazda and I will be sure to recommend you to any family and friends that are in the market for a new car.

WONDERFUL experience buying from Keri Thierer at Scherer Mazda!! I live over 2.5 hours away in Chicago, so I never thought I would buy a car from Peoria, IL. It all started with a simple inquiry regarding my MX-5, and Keri (and manager Jenni) made it easy by communicating effectively via emails, calls, and texts. I felt secure making the trip there, and everything was all ready to sign by the time I got there. Even the car was ready out front with the keys! What a sight. I have never had a more pleasant experience, and I can see the ratings on here are well deserved!

Was in for my first oil change for my Mazda3. While in the waiting area Jenni Bennett came over and greeted me, asked how the car was performing, etc. There was another customer of hers waiting for Jenni to locate a particular color of a Mazda3 and I shared how much I love my Titanium Flash Mica so when Jenni returned her customer said, Ill take the Titanium. Jenni jokingly asked if I could stay the rest of the afternoon. Great environment - feel like part of the Scherer family when I visit the dealership.

I purchased a 2015 Mazda 6 from Scherer Mazda a few months ago, and by far this was the best car buying experience I ever had. As we all know, car buying can be completely nerve wrecking, but Jim Scherer and Jenni Bennett made it stress free, and actually very fun. In addition, research shows that Mazdas are extremely reliable and rated extremely well, and a reasonably priced vehicle. This is my second Mazda and will return for my next. I would heavily recommend stopping into Scherer Mazda anytime you are looking for that next car, and ask for Jenni Bennett.

Appalling customer service! Order a part from them online which required returning. I emailed the return request to which I didnt get a response. When calling the dealer to discuss the person on the phone was patronizing and had no desire to help. Happy to respond quickly if they are taking your money but no desire to assist after the sale. They are trying charge a 15% restocking fee which is ridiculous in this age of online ordering.

My husband and I bought a new Mazda 6 from Jenni Bennett a couple of months ago and could not be more pleased! The level of service we received was exceptional! She was an absolute joy to work with and made our car buying experience great.

Provided a discount coupon at checkout saving me money. Friendly and helpful Service Advisors.

A fantastic buying experience at Scherer Mazda. Our sales rep, Jenni Bennett, was top notch all the way. She listened to our needs and found the perfect fit and value for what we were looking for in a car. We will be going back for all our future vehicle purchases.

Great place to buy a car, they were quick and painless. Jenni helped us and was great! Probably the fastest paperwork process Ive ever seen when buying a car!

If you are looking for a great car buying experience, Scherer Mazda is the place to go. The minute you pull into the lot, get out of your car, your treated like family. NO high pressure. They are there to help you buy the right vehicle for you. Theyll answer questions and give helpful advice to help you make the best decision. Their customer service is like no other dealer I have been too. A big shout out to Jason, Keith, and Scott. Thank you!!

Another pleasant visit. Got me out quick after fixing a recall issue.

Their shop is the best. Always friendly and honest about what needs to happen and what can wait on my vehicle. Ive used their shuttle service a couple of times and always had a pleasant experience. Scheduling works well with my schedule. Coupons too! Who doesnt love coupons?

I went to go look at a car they had, and to my surprise. They have a lot of cars to choose from, I spoke to Tony about the car I was looking at, and some others too. Really chill people, played back place. Definitely getting my first car here!

Great experience! Jenni Bennett was very knowledgeable and professional. There was no pressure. The staff and environment were warm and friendly. We enjoyed our experience. Thanks Jenni and thanks to all at Scherer Mazda!

I live over two hours away but they had a car I wanted. I contacted Jenni and she put a great deal together for me remotely. When I arrived, everything was exactly as promised and I was in and out quickly.

We had our car serviced there; Very friendly and thorough.

One of the worst experiences Ive ever had at a car dealership. Extremely pushy to the end, and the finance manager was very angry when I chose my bank over their Chase Bank. He was also irate from me turning down the extended warranty. He got so angry (his name was Scott I think) that he crumpled up all the papers and threw them at the garbage. There was no eye contact and no hand shake. No one walked out to the car with me, or congratulated me on my purchase. The original salesperson I worked with was ok, she was very patient while waiting for me to make a decision. Would not recommend this dealership.

Great dealership! Kind and considerate staff. Great deals.

While I havent bought a car from here I have been restoring an older RX7. The parts department here is amazing, Ryan is the man! They have reasonable pricing and can track down hard to find parts.

Pretty good experience, cant say I have any complaints. Gabby was a very friendly sales person and wouldnt hesitate working with her again.

We live in Des Moines, IA and our son is a freshman at Bradley. He was having issues with his truck and Scherer Mazda was recommended by the parents of a fellow student. Kyle, in the service department, was great to work with and they diagnosed the problem and had the truck fixed in the same day. We appreciated his honesty and the fact that we were not taken advantage of because we were out of state. Kyle called our son and explained the work that needed to be done beforehand and made sure everyone was in agreement. Thank you for the great experience and well be back for oil changes and any other work that needs to be done over the next 3 years!

Keri was amazing. One of the best if not THE best sales person I have worked with. She was very responsive and went out of her way to help me with my car buying experience. I didnt however buy a car through Scherer but when I am in the market again, I will be reaching back out. The sales manager was great too. I dont write reviews very often but do feel the need to give kudos to Scherer Mazda. I would recommend this dealership and I am typically anti-dealership due to negative experiences in the past. Only reason I did not buy was because another MX5 with 4k miles came up vs buying new. Honestly, if there was a 6th star I would rate my experience that well. Keri really cared about getting you in the right car...for you! Great job. Keep up the good work and keep putting customers first.

This was the best car buying experience I’ve had in 40 years of buying cars! Jason and Keith were excellent to work with and would recommend anyone looking to buy a vehicle to stop by and check them out. Love my 2015 Mazda 6, great gas mileage, very roomy car, and looks like a much more expensive car then it really is. Recently drove it 2250 miles to and around Denver and back and averaged 36.1 mpg over the entire trip.

The best car dealership you can find. Service and parts department are stellar, they go above and beyond to help you, even fixing problems caused by other shops. Sales team is great as well, no hassle.

My experience was a good one. I worked with Jenni Bennett - she was fun, expedient, and easy to work with. Overall, I was happy with the companys willingness to order a car that fit my needs and the ease with which the process fell into place. I look forward to working with Scherer as an owner.

Definitely best place to go, Keri Thierer at scherer Mazda provided a great experience!! Shes the best. I highly recommend this dealership where I purchased a truck!

Jenni Bennett is the best sales-person I have ever dealt with. She knows her stuff, and communicates her knowledge without using high-pressure sales techniques. I always felt comfortable, yet completely informed.

Jenni Bennett met us in the parking lot as soon as we arrived at the dealership. She found us exactly what we wanted out of Scherer Mazdas large inventory. We were very impressed by her knowledge and enthusiasm. She was very patient with us as older customers who were not were not used to the newer features. We have been long term customers of this dealership going back to when they sold Saturns. This is our first Mazda. Thank you Jenni.

My wife and I bought a 2016 Mazda 6 from Scherer Mazda back in June. Unfortunately it was totaled in an accident less than a month after we purchased it. The car did its job in the accident and protected my family. 2 thumbs up on safety!!! We were happy with the car and with Scherer Mazda so we called our salesman (Jason Haskett) up and ordered another Mazda 6. Exact same car except the color. They went above and beyond. Customer service was excellent.

Very helpful, quick and explained everything very well.

These folks are the best! Sam Leman doesnt even try. I highly reccomend Scherer.

Curtis Durm was a pleasure to work with. He was easy to talk to and answered all of our questions with clarity and honesty. His sales manager couldnt close the deal, we were only $300 off! Wasnt Curtis fault. Thanks for working with us Curtis!

Great experience with this dealership. Jenni Bennett was very prompt in returning my emails at all hours of the day and answered all of my questions. She is very easy to deal with and takes care of the customer. Dealership was up front with all of their prices, service records, etc. on the car. Didnt feel like I was being pressured or manipulated like I have experienced at other dealerships. Couldnt be happier with my CX-5...fantastic vehicle at a competitive price.

The staff here are very knowledgeable and friendly. They have a comfortable area to wait, and they are flexible with my schedule.

They were very nice. Went out of their way to figure out how to use my egift card.

Decent service but they overcharge on labor. I got my bill and saw they charged 10 dollars just to put in new tail lights bulbs. If I had known that they charged for something so trivial I would have just bought the tail light bulbs and put them in myself. When I said this the guy said well I could go take them out for you. Probably wont go back.

Salesperson not very friendly (visited 3/9/20) will never go back or suggest anyone purchase a vehicle there ..

Today I came to the dealership to possibly purchase a vehicle but my experience with the salesman was very deplorable and frustrating to the point that I did not even want to purchase a vehicle. I knew when I was coming to do but by the time I left the dealer I felt as though I was saying as a second-class citizen nor was I treated with the respect that I deserve if I was making a major purchase. My experience with other car dealerships have been remarkable but unfortunately my expectations of good customer service ended with a spirit of unsatisfaction. I strongly suggest that if anyone is attempting to go to the dealership to purchase a car, I strongly recommend that you dont.

Everyone in the service department is so friendly and helpful!!!

Kerilynn Thierer and the people at Scherer Mazda were hugely helpful to get the perfect car I wanted. I drove out in a new CX-5 and I love it! Would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone.

Are salesperson Jenni was the greatest! Very nice dealership one of the best in Peoria. Great service department with people that know what they are doing!!

Best service department around. These guys frequently go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied.

I love coming to get my vehicle serviced its a nice and friendly environment and all the staff here is amazing to me and my family

Great sales and service! Pat Scherer, Jody Maske, Jenni Bennett, and everyone in the service department are wonderful! We are a 3 Mazda family. Love them all! If you need a vehicle, go to Scherer Mazda!

GREAT experience and NO hassle.

They are very unprofessional and have horrible communication skills among each other, and I will never go back to them. They like to switch up their story and play with your money.

Great company great car, and service department is excellent and wont overcharge you or do any work thats not needed.

First class all the way. Purchased 3 cars from them and will buy more. Service top notch and always helpful.

Terrible experience. Go some where else. Will never return.

Go see Jenni Bennett at this 1st class dealership. Jimmy and the rest of the crew will take great care of you!

Jenni made the car buying process efficient, enjoyable, and easy! And, my car rocks! Go there--buy a car from Jenni--and youll be happy you did. ;-)

I worked with Jenni, while searching for cars. She was outgoing, friendly, and personable. I have bought cars from other dealerships in the past, but the team at Scherer Mazda made the search and working with them a positive experience. If that is what you are looking for in your search, look no further than Jenni and the Scherer Mazda team.
