Honoring Our Service Members

The Mazda Military Appreciation Program

To the active duty personnel, reserves, veterans, and military families stationed throughout the San Diego area: Team Mazda of El Cajon salutes your service.

$500 MILITARY BONUS CASH

Toward the purchase or lease of a new and unused Mazda vehicle

Serving Those Stationed Across San Diego County

San Diego proudly hosts one of the largest military footprints in the country. Whether you are serving aboard Naval Base San Diego (32nd Street), training out on Coronado, stationed at MCAS Miramar, or commuting down from Camp Pendleton, your commitment protects our community every day.

At Team Mazda of El Cajon, we strive to show our genuine gratitude by offering a straightforward, transparent vehicle buying experience. Mazda’s official $500 Military Appreciation Incentive can be seamlessly layered on top of current national lease or retail financing offers, helping you secure the absolute best value on your new vehicle.

Located just minutes off the Interstate 8 freeway, our showroom provides an alternative to coastal dealerships. We are well-versed in navigating unique military scenarios, including out-of-state registrations, flexible scheduling around deployments, and working alongside military auto loans and credit unions.
