Best Dealership in Columbus?

I've been shopping around the area and was wondering if anyone here recommends a particular dealership. I'd like to find a place with a good service department so I can use them to install parts in the future (such as the MS flywheel). I've been leaning towards the Ti:Grey with a black interior but with the talk of the new mica blue possibly coming out for '05 I think I'll have to evaluate that option. Still think I'll want the Grey though. Just thought I'd ask for people's experience around here.

i bought mine from chad at byers. hes absolutly the man and id highly recommend buying from him. tell him brian sent you, he should know who i am. hes very knowledgeable and will be able to handle anything you throw at him. they gave me a great deal back in jan, so im sure theyre trying to get rid of the 04s and will be even better.

unfortunately i have not been so impressed w/their service department. not that theyve been bad, its just that they havent been good. i took it to mazda direct once and they were very nice but didnt really fix the problem (my trannys grinding.)

I ended up getting my car from MazdaDirect. I went to Buyers last week and they offered me MSRP and $4k less on my trade in than MazdaDirect. I got MazdaDirect to give me something like $300 below invoice. I delt with Dave Palsgrove. Nice guy and all (for a car dealer). He obviously tried to get more out of me and I probably could have payed less if I walked out a few times.

the ac isnt a recall, but there is a tsb about it. the breaks are just so annoying and apparently my rotors have warped as well, but theres nothing official on it
