About the salon

Lineup

The wide variety of cars reported on the site encourages potential buyers to visit the Mas Motors dealership at Varshavka, 132 as soon as possible. The lineup, as indicated on the dealer's corporate website, includes 20 car brands, including: Audi, Chevrolet, Changan, Hyundai, Mazda, Lada, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Honda, Ford, Toyota, Skoda, Kia, Mitsubishi. In the Mas Motors catalog you can find almost any car of these and many other brands. It is reported that all cars are inavailable, you can buy them immediately, no matter what color or configuration you choose.

Is the assortment offered by the Mas Motors car dealership really wide? Customer reviews indicate that by phone and e-mail, the company's managers always answer in the affirmative to the question of the availability of a particular machine. Thus, they encourage a potential client to come to the salon. In fact, the desired model is often not available. Car dealership employees report that the car you came for was recently purchased. Managers insistently offer to purchase another model, usually from those presented in the showroom. A very modest range of cars is available to the Mas Motors car dealership on Varshavka, 132. Customer reviews contain information that it includes only about 30-40 models.

It is not uncommon for showroom managers to report that the vehicle you wish to purchase is in stock. However, they will bring and show the car only if you make an advance payment in the amount of 100-150 thousand rubles. It is better not to agree to this offer, because if you do not like the car, it will be very difficult to get money back. From now on, the Mas Motors car dealership will be disposing of this amount with a high degree of probability. Testimonials from buyers who failed to get their money back, i. In this situation, some visitors to the salon in the presence of managers made a call to the police or the prosecutor's office. In this case, employees generally preferred not toconflict and agreed to return the money.

However, there are also positive reviews from the clients of the salon online. Some buyers claim that only Mas Motors was able to purchase exactly the car that they had long dreamed of.

Is the car dealership an official dealer of the brands sold?

Director Sergei Volokhov and other employees assure that the Mas Motors dealership is an official dealer. Customer reviews, however, make you think: “Are the salon managers being cunning?”. As you know, information about official dealers (names, addresses, contact phone numbers) is mandatory indicated on the websites of car manufacturers.

Checking the lists of partners of Audi, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Mazda, Lada, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Honda, Ford, Toyota, Skoda, Kia, Mitsubishi and most other brands sold by the car dealership, we will see that Mac Motors ' is not listed. How do employees of the dealer company comment on this fact? Managers refer to the fact that multi-brand salons allegedly are not subject to mandatory inclusion in the lists. However, this provision is not spelled out in the conditions for dealers of brands sold by Mas Motors. In addition, almost every car manufacturer whose products are sold by a car dealership has rather strict conditions for official partners. Dealers are required to comply with a variety of requirements regarding:

• showroom space,
• staff training programs,
• technical equipment,
• service,
• test drive opportunities.

A multi-brand showroom is unlikely to meet the requirements of more than 20 automakers at the same time.

Thus, there is no confirmation that the Mas Motors salon is the official dealer of most of the brands it represents.

However, the company is indeed a partner of the Chinese plant - the manufacturer of the Changan brand. Nice-looking, compact cars can be purchased in the salon inexpensively and without problems. The quality of the CS35 model is proposed to be tested on a test drive.

Many visitors to the showroom are alarmed by the fact that there are no labels on the machines containing information about the cost and configuration of the models. And not in vain. After all, when making a purchase, the price of a car, as a rule, turns out to be much higher than that named by phone or indicated in correspondence. The difference is 100-150 thousand rubles. Salon managers motivate price changes for various reasons, for example:

- “The car you were talking about on the phone has already been sold. There is another model left, but it is only available in a more expensive configuration.”

- “You were on the phone with another employee who is currently away. Most likely, he mistakenly named the cost of a similar model of the last year of release. We have already sold out these cars.”

- "The price has increased in accordance with the requirements of the lending bank."

Some sites also have positive reviews about the Mas Motors dealership in Varshavka. Numerous buyers report that they bought a car from this dealer with pleasure: the car was exactly what they wanted, the purchase was very inexpensive.
