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...

I can see doing the other work but these two items caught me off guard. Especially with only 74k miles and how and where I drive. Wondering if I need to find another shop.

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it! What are your thoughts on the control arms and tire rods? So the coolant change is too soon then.hmm

So today I'm just getting the oil service/inspection and then car wash. I'll do the plugs myself. They don't even touch transmissions here since they consider them sealed and lifetime. Not worth the risk the service manager says. I've come to know this guy over time. So that would have to be...

No, I have not. Plus I don't have any decent setup around home to do this. Leaks? Is this on a belt or tensioner itself? Where to look exactly? Thanks!
