Ok I'm not a big car person, so I have very little (almost zero car knowledge) - I currently own a 2004 Mazda 3S, which I was driving last month when I ran over a snow/ice bank that was left in the middle of the lane I was in, and felt the front underside of my car "drag" over it. Later on, I found that there was a plastic piece underneath the front of my car that was cracked, and yesterday when I went to get an oil change they removed it and told me I needed to buy a new one. The guy called it a splash guard? I'm not sure if that is what it is actually called, but he said they (Jiffy Lube) would put the new one back on for free, so I'm assuming it's a relatively simple part to replace if you know what it is. Does anybody know what the part is I'm describing?

Also, I could go to the dealership but I'd like to avoid that route (b/c of the overinflated charges dealerships are notorious for) if possible.

not that i would recommend it, but i havent had mine on in several months. the part is completely simple to install, if you can turn a screwdriver, you can put it on
 
you can just get the dealer to order it and you can install it yourself. Just check out the prices. It's only a splash guard... i thnk if you're lucky just go with the ducky... (duct tape) muhahhahahha

and welcome to the forum....
