I noticed in a recent Costco advertisement that it looks like they're upping their tire game. What they offer, what they do... etc

Looking into a place called Coyote Motors in Boulder. This guy sounds like he really knows his stuff. Some of these other items that I had on my list I'm talking to this guy about doing. And it sounds like he knows what he's doing when it comes to the transmission and fluid, etc. He claimed he...

So the consensus seems to be that a drain/fill of transmission fluid is necessary as well a filter replacement. The lifetime transmission/transmission fluid doesn't seem to have a lot of faith behind it. I can understand this. Is it just due costs? So if something does go wrong they feel it...

Ya. I'm seeing higher prices. Maybe it's the Denver market. I need to call them back yet and ask them if that's simply a drain and fill or if they do a flush. I know the don't touch the filter.

Drain and fill. They don't do the filter. I'd have to check back with them on an ATF flush. She didn't mention it when I was talking to her about the drain/fill and filter replacement.

Another Mazda dealer has some better pricing. Some of the lower-cost items were a little higher. They do have a 10% off. This dealership will do the drain/fill of the transmission fluid = $475. Goodyear had the best prices. But they will not touch the transmission.

I couldn't agree more (having moved here from northern MN). They built a new service center not too long ago and more recently added a new sales area. Hmm. I'm starting to look, again, at another Mazda dealer. Oil service at this current dealer is $115. Happen to get $12/off via email the day...

Oh ya, I asked the service manager about the coolant change recommendation. His reply was: "We recommend 5 years or 100k on this fluid due to Colorado being a severe duty state with altitude, stop n go, short trips, etc. You can wait until the Mazda recommendation if needed. We just recommend a...

Given the things that need to be done yet on this car. Does anyone think it would matter taking a road trip of around 700-800 miles later this month before doing any of the work? All pavement and good roads.

Looking at my text updates about what to get done and the priority I see it says coolant every 5 years/100k. Past five years. I would think the software they use would pull up the correct details for model/year..etc. Not sure if something was changed. They have brake fluid down as immediate...

Ya, some prices they have are good and some are high. I asked the service manager if I were to buy OEM would they install them? He was good with that of course.

Got the plugs done today with this view. And the old plugs don't look too bad for a little over 74,000 mi.

Appreciate everybody's feedback. Helpful! I had my Celica for so many years I felt like it was an extension of my body so I could always tell when something was going on and that thing drove forever. Granted as it got older I had to replace some parts just due to wearing out. So I feel fairly...

I mentioned early on 74k miles. This service manager seemed like a stand up guy but this seems odd to me. I had a '94 Celica I put 282k on and saw little of this sort of thing. Certainly not until higher mileage. My driving is on the city on pretty smooth pavement. Maybe a handful of highway...
