This guide will help you prepare for your visit and take advantage of everything our dealership has to offer.
Getting to Galpin Mazda in Los Angeles
Galpin Mazda is conveniently located at 8425 Sepulveda Boulevard in North Hills, California, making us easily accessible from throughout Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. We are just minutes from major freeways including the 405, 118, and 5, which means customers from Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale, Santa Clarita, and beyond can reach us quickly.
If you are coming from downtown Los Angeles, take the 101 Freeway north to the 405 Freeway north, then exit at Nordhoff Street. From Pasadena, take the 210 Freeway west to the 118 Freeway west, then exit at Sepulveda Boulevard. Our hours and directions page provides detailed driving directions from various locations, and you can also find directions from Los Angeles and directions from Arleta on our website.
We offer ample free parking for customers, so you will never have to worry about finding a spot. Our showroom is open Monday through Friday from eight thirty in the morning until eight in the evening, Saturdays from eight thirty in the morning until eight in the evening, and Sundays from nine in the morning until seven in the evening.
Preparing for Your Sales Visit
If you are planning to shop for a vehicle, a little preparation can make your visit more productive. Start by browsing our new vehicle inventory and used vehicle inventory online to identify models that interest you. You can filter by price, features, color, and other criteria to narrow your options. Save your favorite vehicles to compare features and pricing.
Consider getting pre approved for financing through our online finance application. This streamlines the purchase process and gives you a clear understanding of your budget before you arrive. You can also use our payment calculator to estimate monthly payments based on different down payment amounts and loan terms.
If you have a vehicle to trade in, use our trade-in valuation tool to get an instant estimate of its value. Bring your vehicle with you so our appraisal team can provide a firm offer. Having your vehicle title, registration, and any loan payoff information will help expedite the process.
Making the Most of Your Service Appointment
For service visits, scheduling an appointment in advance ensures minimal wait time. Use our online service scheduling tool to select your preferred date and time, describe the services needed, and provide your contact information. Our service advisors will confirm your appointment and may contact you if they need additional information.
Arrive a few minutes early to check in with your service advisor. They will review the services you requested and perform a multi point inspection to identify any additional maintenance needs. Be sure to mention any concerns you have noticed with your vehicle’s performance, unusual noises, or warning lights. The more information you provide, the better our technicians can diagnose and address issues.
While your vehicle is being serviced, take advantage of our customer amenities. Enjoy complimentary WiFi in our comfortable waiting area, grab a beverage from our Starbucks, or have a meal at the Horseless Carriage Restaurant. If you prefer not to wait, we offer shuttle service to nearby locations or can arrange a loaner vehicle for longer repairs.
Exploring Additional Services and Amenities
Galpin Mazda offers services beyond traditional sales and maintenance. Our custom order program allows you to build and order a Mazda configured exactly to your specifications. If you cannot find the perfect vehicle in our inventory, we can order it for you with your preferred color, trim level, and options.
