Southern California Dealers

[Boostin McFly]

Anybody have any experience with any of the Los Angeles and Inland Empire Mazda dealers? I know there are a bunch around so were there any that are cool about mods and ones to steer clear of? I got my MS3 about a month and half ago and when I get service done I wanted to know if who would be cool with the mods I have. I just don't feel like changing my mods out and back in everytime I have to go and get somthing done.

I bought my MS3 from the Mazda dealer in Duarte, just of the 210 on Mountain. They were nice enough, (for a dealer), and they seemed to be open to mods and modding. After I bought it, they asked if I wanted them to install a CAI. They also showed me a couple cars they had for sale that they had installed springs, intakes, etc on.

I figure that's a good sign.

Thats where i got mine, they ended up moving in with chevy, hopefully i can go there to get service done. I just need them to fix my trunk light switch, i shouldn't have to remove my mods should i?

I bought mime from Long Beach Mazda. I'm not too sure if they are mod friendly. Is cerritos ok with certain mods or do they just not care what you have??

Hey I just took mine into to get that same thing repaired at Puente Hills Mazda and they just ordered the part...they didn't need to look under my hood or anything...I wouldn't imagine I would have to take my mods off...but who knows

Hi,

This is Luis from Bakersfield. I bought mine in Cerritos Browning.

For those people living in Southern California. Would you be interested in having a meeting in April to meet each other and do some racing? (drive)

IM Fresno to L.A. and I like that idea.

And again with regards to Galpin....... the worst dealership I have ever been to and I shopped around!! So bump to how horrible galpin is!!!!!!!!!!(bird)

 

[turbos3]

I agree, good idea. Has anyone had any experience with browning mazda in cerritos? Are there any mods they ARE NOT ok with??

 

[Jimmy Mac!]

Im from Rosamond (Home of Willow Springs raceway), but travelled the almost 2 hrs to Browning in Cerritos. Got my new 2008.5 Speed3 for 18K plus tax/title/license. I can NOT tell you if they are down with MODS. Sorry. The Galpin Gonads were rude, liers, and simply would not budge from the price. "Ass Clowns" would be the best description.

ok i reallly dont think ill ever take a chance with galpin now that i read all the complaints about them. i think ill take my chances at browning if i ever need to see the dealer. thanks

my car is at Browning right now with a Cobb intake, its been there 3 times with the intake and no one has said a thing. i believe one of the Service Writers has a MS6.

I will be participating for the first time in a Pro Solo event in LA next weekend.

I had to pay the SCCA membership ($90) plus the event registration ($135).

I think it would be a great opportunity to meet other speed3 owners form SoCA on that day.

here is the link to event:

I bought my MS3 from Browning but I get it serviced at Long Beach Mazda (closer drive). Ive had my Cobb intake on at all oil changes and they have never said anything.

Had great experience with salespeople at Bob Baker Mazda in Carlsbad. Service is ok.
