sounds about right if it was a dealer oil change with OEM Mazda Moly oil. I pay about $50 to $55 just for the oil and filter alone when I do it myself.You paid $100 for an oil change?

Moonshyne is in Canada based on the other thread. $100 CAD = $78.61 USD.You paid $100 for an oil change?
That dealership does not have service coupons?
Very sharp looking! bought the exact same vehicle with the External Blue Mica colour in June. I find that this colour shows really well on sunny days.It reached 50 degrees today. So I did what any normal person would do, washed and waxed her.

Just thought I would follow up on this sordid tale. The other party accepted liability. The damage is a small dent and deep scratches that broke the paint at the leading edge of the front passenger door, about 12 inches high and 6-8 inches in length. Maybe small damage to the trailing edge of the front fender. No other apparent damage.WHAT WAS DONE TO MY CX-5
Technically my wife’s 21 Signature with 94 miles on it...sideswiped by someone who said they did not see me. 40 mph on a suburban road. I think the snowflake pearl white mica is going to be a b**** to paint...
Sorry to hear the incident. Nothing can be compared to the factory paint.Just thought I would follow up on this sordid tale. The other party accepted liability. The damage is a small dent and deep scratches that broke the paint at the leading edge of the front passenger door, about 12 inches high and 6-8 inches in length. Maybe small damage to the trailing edge of the front fender. No other apparent damage.
The body shop said this is a very hard paint to match, 3 stage he called it. Snowflake white pearl mica cost an extra $400, less than soul red or machine gray, but still...
The job is running over $3000 so far. In order to match the paint, the door gets repaired, which includes removing the trim, and lots of one use only parts including the chrome waist molding. The fender has to be removed to be repainted because it is next to the door. There are a number of one use parts on this piece also. The hood has to be blended to match the fender.
The headlight has to be removed to get to the fender, the grill has to be removed to get to the fender. All sensors have to be recalibrated to the steering angle sensor by the dealer. I worry about that.
The PPF on the fender and hood have been stripped and have to be reapplied.
The rear door and rear quarter panel also have to be blended...
My wife started getting all these alerts from My Mazda. AFS malfunction MRCC malfunction parking sensor malfunction BSM malfunction, as the car started coming apart.
This new paint is pretty, but it is expensive. I might have the car back in another two weeks. In the meantime, my wife has said she really likes driving my WRX now....
The shop is a high quality repair shop that has the reputation for doing things the right way, and repairs exotic cars like Ferrari, Maseratti and Lambo, in addition to Porsches. Most of the cars are more pedestrian like the Japanese brands, the Korean brands, and domestics. They do really good work, but it comes at a price.

I believe Chris now enjoys more on flying than driving his CX-5 ⋯Hey, Chris is back, happy new year!! What happened to you?
I'm getting my car ready for sale. I'm thinking Alfa Stelvio, second choice is CX5 GTR. I haven't checked them out yet.
