Our Reviews
We visited Manchester Mazda on a whim, not knowing much about Mazda vehicles since this was our first experience with the brand. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Scott, one of the most down-to-earth and personable salespeople we’ve ever met.
Scott made the entire process feel relaxed and pressure-free. He gave us plenty of space to explore and test drive the CX-90, while still being available to answer all of our questions. As we went back and forth between choosing a used vehicle or going brand new, Scott remained patient, knowledgeable, and supportive—never pushy.

I bought my Mazda CX30 in May! Scott was knowledgeable, nonpushy and made it easy!
Manchester Mazda is a 1st class, well run and managed dealership. The facility is new, modern and welcoming. While you wait for service or shop they have a cute coffee & snack setup. Their sales folks now also do the financing so you don't have to go to the "corner office" to fight with the Finance Mgr over add-ons any longer! friendly, efficient and professional id how I'd describe the culture here. Lisa F. is an amazing sales manager and has been there for years. Kris was our sales rep and SUPER helpful!
Owen seemed to know exactly how to approach me, no pressure and well informed. To show you how long it’s been since I was in a new car dealership, I was pleasantly surprised that there was no “Let me go run this by my boss” lol not to mention the “ finance office xx, but no one liked that part of dealing with buying from a new car dealer. Nothing came up that Owen couldn’t handle. I’m very satisfied with Owen Wakelins ability to get the job done! The only issue if there had to be one was ... Read More DealerRater - Jun 6, 2025
My family and I have purchased several vehicles thru Manchester Mazda over the years. When the 2024 Mazda CX-90 first came out, my father and I were one of the 1st customers to purchase this new model and each purchased one. Unfortunately, the CX-90 I had bought was in and out of the shop for various repairs, recalls, and concerning build quality issues; and spent a better half of 120+ days out of service in their repair shop.
While the service department is 5 stars, my particular experience was not handled very well when I decided to Lemmon law the vehicle.

It’s a bait and switch tactic on this dealership website. They advertise low prices and when you go in the price is $7k higher. Beware
Scam extended warranty: I owned my 2023 Odyssey for 3 years and 1 month and when I cashed in the unused 7 year extended warranty policy, I got back 45%. I was told that the policy was prorated when I bought it but that match just doesn't add up.
Bought a certified pre-owned vehicle with 3,000 miles from them in December 2024 - essentially like new. "What a steal!" I thought to myself. 1 week later one of the tires was flat from "wear and tear damage". Strange, we've been living and driving in the same area for years, no flats. Bad luck I supposed. Have to wait a week for the tire to come into the dealership, because no dealership carries these tires for some reason. $350 later, we're back at it. Fewer than 2 months later. Another flat. Different tire. No nail, no nothing. Just another &... Read More DealerRater - Feb 7, 2025
Manchester Mazda is a great dealership. It has a family feel to it, and they treat you family as well.
I had a great experience a few months ago when I bought my first new car from Diana at Manchester Honda! She was very supportive in my decision in the car that I wanted, was very open in answering any questions that I had as a first time buyer, and helped my find the car that I know I’m going to have and love for next 20 years hopefully! I highly recommend going to Manchester Honda and talking with Diana about purchasing a Honda!!

Welcome to Clear Automotive Group
Thank you for making your way to Clear Automotive Group, your automotive dealer serving drivers throughout Manchester and the surrounding areas. At our dealership, you’ll find a solid selection of new vehicles for sale, as well as a carefully inspected lineup of pre-owned vehicles. We also have a well-connected finance center run by a qualified team of finance experts, who can help you get the right loan or lease in a quick, easy, and transparent manner.
The Clear Automotive Group was officially formed in 2021, marking the culmination of years of hard work and dedication to uniting two long-standing dealership groups in the Manchester, CT area.
Our story began in 2016 when the Larabee Family, owners and operators of Manchester Honda and Manchester Powersports, acquired Carter Chevrolet, a dealership proudly run by the Carter Family since 1936. The Larabees relocated the Chevrolet dealership to a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility on Route 83 in Vernon in 2017, rebranding it as Vernon Chevrolet in 2021.
That same year, the Larabee Family breathed new life into the former Buick dealership location at 81 Adams Street in Manchester, to relocate the Carter Body Shop team. The state-of-the art facility was rebranded as The Collision Shop, and continues to provide exceptional auto body repair services.
In 2019, the Larabee Family expanded again, acquiring Manchester Mazda from the Carter Family. A major renovation and expansion of the dealership followed, resulting in a beautifully upgraded facility by 2020.
The Clear Automotive Group introduced the Clear Advantage in 2021, a commitment to delivering an unmatched customer experience. In 2023, we pioneered the “One Person, One Process, One Promise” approach, emphasizing simplicity, transparency, and personalized service.
This October, the Larabee Family proudly celebrated 60 years of serving the Manchester community. Locally owned and operated, the Clear Automotive Group represents Manchester Honda, Manchester Powersports, Vernon Chevrolet, Manchester Mazda, and The Collision Shop.
Today, we are a team of over 150 dedicated employees, many of whom have been with us for decades. Together, we take immense pride in serving our customers and continuing the legacy of excellence that the Larabee Family has built.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to driving forward together!
