I live in Laurel. Not my first choice, but parts of Laurel are nice. Laurel actually spreads throughout 3 different counties, I believe. Anne Arundel, Prince Georges, and Howard. I live in the Howard County portion and it's very nice. I would stay far, far away from PG county from what I hear. I live in north Laurel, but I don't go anywhere south of where I live because the area's gotten pretty ghetto-fied. I head to Columbia for anything I need to do.

As for dealerships... I bought mine from MileOne Heritage in Owings Mills. Buying the car was great. Bringing it in for service (which I did for the first time yesterday) SUCKED so I would not recommend them at this point. I haven't been to any other places yet so I can't help out there.

Welcome to the area!

I'll be there mid-September. Going through a complex in Odenton called Archstone Seven Oaks I spotted a(nother) blue RX-8. Don't know if that was someone here.

are you stationed at Meade?? Laurel isnt so bad, but you should try looking in Columbia little more expensive but much nicer and safer. A great dealership to go to is Darcars Mazda in College Park, their customer service sets a true standards as to how other dealerships should operate!!

AVOID Russell Mazda close to Ellicott city (Baltimore Pike I believe), anyhow, Russel mazda is a shitty place to get your services done, they did a horrible job when I took my car to get my oil changed and services, it took all day! I almost had to make a seen and yell for the manager to get anything done over there.

Can we go to any Mazda Dealer to get warranty work done on our car? If so I'll be moving away from Darcars Silver Spring and on to a new location. THEY SUCK BAD!

You dont have to ever go back to the dealer from which you bought the car...as long as you go to a Mazda dealer. I dont think VOB BMW or 355 nissan would work on your car for free

I think when it comes time to putting money towards a mortgage that I'll look a little ways away from Laurel. The Anne Arundel part of it is ok though. Sounds like Russell Mazda is a lot like Bill Andrews Mazda of Lafayette, Indiana.

It's nice to hear that not all dealers in Maryland are terrible.
