    Transfer Case - 4WD Issues

    The dealer wanted to replace my t case at 1700. I took the invoice that he gave me and checked at tasca and the parts come out to around 650 delivered.

    Dealer mark up on parts when servicing your vehicle with them.

    I will give an example. A certain part if i was to order it from a mazda dealer would cost me 638 dollars delivered to my door. While the dealer would list it in their estimate at 950. That is almost a 50 percent markup of what i would pay and i can safely say that it is more like 60 percent due...

    Dealer mark up on parts when servicing your vehicle with them.

They get at least 10 percent off of what i pay, which is why i ask what would be a fair percentage markup above the 10 percent that they get from the discount...

    Passenger side airbag recall

    Did you have this done already. 1 Hour is pretty quick. When I made the appointment I was told they would keep it for a day. So I told the lady in the service dept. on the phone that I would pick it up the next morning since I am at work and cannot get to them before 6.

    CMP Timing Over Retard

    Do you know if anyone worked on the car before? like maybe changed out the water pump and didn't align the marks correctly for the timing. You shouldn't be having that problem unless someone opened up the engine and may have worked on it and didn't properly put it back together.
