While there are likely a few things on your “must-have” list when shopping for a new or used vehicle, it is important to focus on the dealership you choose as well as the car you are interested in. After all, there is more to the car-buying and owning process than simply signing on the dotted line and driving away.
In order to find the perfect vehicle and keep it in the best condition for years to come, you will need support along the way. This is where our team here at Manchester Mazda comes in, offering a unique take on the dealership experience.
We are proud to be part of the Clear Automotive Group, which was officially formed in 2021 and marked the culmination of years of hard work and dedication to uniting two long-standing dealership groups in the Manchester area.
Our story began in 1964, when John Larabee opened a Honda motorcycle dealership. He soon expanded his business with the introduction of Honda’s first cars in the late 1960s, and Manchester Honda became a pillar of the local community.
In 2016, the Larabee Family acquired Carter Chevrolet, a dealership proudly run by the Carter Family since 1936. This marked the beginning of the merger between these two family-run dealership groups.
In 2019, the Larabee Family acquired Manchester Mazda from the Carter Family, completing the merger of the two groups. After the acquisition, our dealership underwent a major renovation and expansion, with our beautiful new facility opening in 2020.
To celebrate the official launch of the new Clear Automotive Group, we introduced the Clear Advantage in 2021, demonstrating our commitment to delivering an unmatched customer experience. In 2023, we pioneered our unique “One Person, One Process, One Promise” approach, emphasizing simplicity, transparency, and personalized service.
Our “One Person, One Process, One Promise” approach focuses on creating a stress-free and hassle-free experience that provides the answers, transparency, and exceptional customer service you need to find the perfect vehicle. Unlike other dealerships, we won’t shuffle you around between different salespeople and departments—you’ll get one friendly assistant who will help you through the entire process from start to finish, including financing.
As part of the Clear Automotive Group, we take pride in the chance to help our neighbors, friends, and families find the right vehicles for their driving needs. This connection also ensures that we are able to provide you with an outstanding selection of vehicles, competitive pricing, financing solutions, and dependable service after the sale.
As a Mazda dealership, we carry the entire lineup of new Mazda models, as well as pre-owned options from both Mazda and many other leading brands. You can explore our selection online or in person, whichever works best for your needs. Either way, you can expect the same great customer service.
As mentioned, there is more to buying a vehicle than choosing the one you want and signing the paperwork. To keep it in the best condition, you need support along the way, which you will find here at our Mazda service center. Our technicians have access to a state-of-the-art facility with the latest tools, along with high-quality, genuine parts.
With all this in mind, why should you put your trust in our team? First and foremost, we have earned a reputation for being honest and trustworthy. Second, we love what we do, and that shows in how we do it. Finally, we offer continued support in multiple ways, from preventative maintenance services to our exclusive Lifetime Powertrain Warranty.
Our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty covers the exact same components as the factory powertrain warranty, including the engine, transmission, transfer case, and drive axle assembly. Even better? Not only does this warranty apply to new vehicles, but it also covers many of our pre-owned models. The warranty lasts for as long as you own the vehicle, regardless of how many miles are on it. All you need to do is follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.
We strive to provide our customers with a well-rounded experience that ensures all your needs are met within one team, and our customer testimonials indicate we are meeting that goal every day.
If you’re looking for a new or used vehicle and want to shop with a team known for its selection, customer service, and support long after the sale, we invite you to reach out to us today. We think you will quickly see that we strive to be different from the rest, all in an effort to ensure you get the care and one-on-one attention you deserve.
Located just off I-84, we proudly serve the Greater Hartford area including Manchester, South Windsor, Vernon and Rockville. We strive to make buying and servicing your vehicle as pleasant and convenient as possible. If you want to take a test drive but have a busy schedule, we’ll gladly bring the vehicle to your home or place of work. All you have to do is schedule a test drive and let us know where to meet you!
