    Question about 2018 CX-9 2.5L "Turbo" Skyactiv engine reliability

    Well that estimate is for the non dealer who works on the car. If you go to the dealer trust me it will be a lot more. They call all of their services skyactiv service. So even if you have a first or second gen cx-9 you will be billed according to their new skyactiv prices. Example a skyactiv...

    Question about 2018 CX-9 2.5L "Turbo" Skyactiv engine reliability

    I Agree with Jal142. People don't want to accept the fact that it was a mazda designed engine. It's like when they build a house. The architect designs it and the builder constructs it based on the architects design. The builder doesn't know if it is a good design that will last or a piece of...

    Transfer Case - 4WD Issues

    Can you let us know if that is all that they replace or if they find something else? I really would like to know. I don't want to take it to them and later they will tell me that it will need something else and make it more expensive.

    Confused between Cx9 and GX460

    If I can get a gx470 for about the same price or even 1 thousand more than a cx-9 I would jump on it right away. I love my cx-9 but with the water pump and transfer case issues you have to think twice. I also went to repair pal to get a price on the water pump for a 2016 2nd gen cx-9 and it is...

    Transfer Case - 4WD Issues

    That is what the dealer charges. See if you can find someone other than the dealer that can do the work. If you price all of the parts and the transfer case it comes out to about 700. If you can get the labor done for about 3 to 4 hundred it would be a lot better than 1700 hundred. Mazda has the...

    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. I think that the only other thing you need is the install kit which is 30 dollars which would bring up the total to 700 in parts. The dealers...

    Power steering fluid

    I have a 2007 and the stealer says I need a power steering service which really means flush. I can do that myself, but I need to know which fluid should I use. They want 110 dollars to do this, way too much. They also said a brake fluid flush and they want for that almost 200 dollars. What a...

    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...

I really don't like to put GM stuff...

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

    They are marking it up above what it would cost me to get them myself. I know that they don't pay the prices that i pay for these parts. 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...
