Just for some comparison to your dealer,
After my tire busting pothole incident, i had bought a couple tires and put them on the car myself (paid some1 to mount tire on wheel). The very next week teh check engine light comes on, it doesnt start so well in cold mornings and idles sporadic sometimes, but im on such a tight schedule with work (m-f 8-5) and college (m,w, 6-11) that i dont have much time for service, so I call my mazda dealer and tell him whats going on and ask if I can get a complimentary rental, he is like "sure". Yesterday i go there with my list of every rattle and concern, he gives me the keys to a rental 04 4door i model and im out the door no cares in the world! I call today its already fixed (reprogrammed computer to new updates) and added some items on front and rear brakes, fixed the airbag sensor recall and only charged me 40 bucks for inspecting the suspension that i had thought for sure i fuxord up in the pothole, then they washed for me free which they always do, no hassles, no worries. They also took out the extra psi in the new tires (the idiot i paid to mount them filled them to 50psi) Pretty good experience, plus i got to drive the 4 door i model before i go buy 1 for my wife (who doesnt like the hb but loves the sedan, wierd) Hope your dealer experiences are as good.
