    Transmission Service Needed?

    It seems like a few, well maybe a lot of quickie lube places are just rip-off joints. I started changing my own oil years ago and never have to worry if it's done right.

    New Mazda 3 owner checking in!

    Hey ya'll, I (the wife and I) just bought a 2010 3 GT 2.5 - celestial blue, 4 door for our soon to be 16 year old daughter. I drive a 2008 GTI and I would trade cars with her any day, but I don't think she would unless it needed maintenance! We got a great deal at Capital Mazda in Cary NC, I...
