Mazda is one of the most underrated brands in the market!
LOL, people attempt to make a word plural by adding 's. It's Mazdas.
I personally don't like to go to the dealers unless it's covered under warranty or it's something that requires specialized equipment.

They should have never collaborated with Ford, that was a huge mistake.

80's and 90's 626 were one of the best cars for the money, our family had half a dozen of them over the years.
Models post Ford seem to be OK.
Now they are also in bed with Toyota, so...

I know, the car was only 3 years old so you'd they they would cover something as a simple heat shield clamp. But nope! Not even cut it off to stop the rattle.

That relationship ended a long time ago. Mazda works with Toyota

Hope we get reports back on how many things the Stealerships find "wrong" with the cars.

Learn to change your own oil and don't let anyone else with a wrench within 10 feet of it.
Make oil changes easy by buying a car with easy access to the oil filter (such as at the top of the engine) and make changes super easy by replacing the drain plug with a fumoto valve.
Avoid having to use a jack and stands by using Rhino Ramps.
Change your oil regularly, use good quality oil and filters, and dump used oil at your local auto store.
Even if this is the only regular maintenance you ever do for your car you'll be well ahead in the game.
Other maintenance can be done on a needs basis and if you have a good car (Japanese preferably) needs should not be great.

I had a Camry for 10 years and only ever changed the oil, tires, and battery.
I had some run-ins with bad garages in the early days but I caught the issues quickly and learned my lesson.
First hand I have seen drain plugs that were loose and fell out after the oil change.
I have seen drain plugs where the head was wrung off them because they were overtightened.
I've had splash shields hanging off and broken and I've had the air filter housing left open after an oil change.
During an oil change I had on guy try to convince me I needed a transmission flush on my Camry with 20K miles because he said he didn't like the smell of the fluid.
I could go on...
I'm sure there are good mechanics in this country but you generally won't find them just changing oil.

I got my oil changed, car washed, and tire rotation for free because of this.

Sad that the indoctrination daycare camps at the high school level don't really have vocational or auto mechanics anymore. Just another way to dumb down America's youth. Highest cost per capita with the lowest test results of all industrialized countries. They deserve nothing more than a little sand in the crankcase.

This states the offer is valid through 9/30, but you are able to schedule later.

Anybody have experience on whether we can schedule for after the current offer expiration and still receive it free?
