I actually have a few good Firestone stories. I'll share one. Went to Tirerack, found some tires, put in cart. Then thought "Let me support a local business and see if they can come close to the price." Called Firestone. Guy says "Well you can pay tax and buy from me, or pay shipping and buy...

Firestone is my go to trusted 'chain mechanic' actually. Worked on both my Mazda and Volvos.

Gorgeous! Black is still king. Sorry red heads.

Like a freaking Volvo. If you replace the battery you need a dealer or someone with VIDA software connect to the car to TELL it it has a new battery. I wish I was joking. It will work if you don't but not as well.

Just want to say for the record replying to "I can't find a good indy that knows Mazda"...because Mazda's ain't all that complicated or special. Any decent mechanic can replace a head gasket in your Mazda. You don't need a specialist. That's one of the reason we DRIVE THESE CARS.

2016 GT. 75K. *Loose control arm. Car was making a noise when turning. Took to garage. Tightened control arm. Fine ever since. *Gas cap tether broke. That's it.

Was hoping this was a thread about "What is the worst one you bought?". :D Cargo cover for me. Hate that thing.

2019 Volvo S60 R-Design + Polestar tuned.

You don't need a dealer. Any garage can do ALL of that. You don't even need a 'national chain'. You can certainly buy the coolant yourself and take it to that mechanic. As for spark plugs, yea, risk of cross threading has been a thing forever. And it's always been a warning to be careful. It's...

I'd bet money it would work on any Mazda. They havent certified it for a 50 means they haven't tried yet.

OK so the newer Mazda's have this remote start app. For all intents and purposes it is currently free "for 3 years" as Mazda says. Some cars are apparently beyond this 3 year mark and Mazda still hasn't announced what this charge will eventually be. Am I right so far? I know at least part of...

It's a car with ground clearance... and it's not fragile. :D

I'll give you that. But I sincerely doubt OP needs an alignment.. Pet Peeve #255: People babying their SUV's or giant pickups. I have no qualms about driving OVER things...that's what I LIKE about an SUV. If you have to baby your SUV, you bought the wrong one. Buddy bought a big honking...

Yea, not a requirement. How often do you really change stuff? After 3-4 years, just about never. ;)

It's not THAT fragile. I don't baby mine over bumps and have gone 75K flawless miles.

I would hope our cars can go over a curb and not be destroyed so easy. Isn't that an ADVANTAGE to these vehicles? :D

OK That is cool as F! Nice job.

Surely you lose the ability to change car settings. Still pretty cool!

Most are not missing this. My Volvo does this, as do all modern Volvo.
