Tire rotation....

[MSP#735]

are you supposed to get a FREE first time tire rotaion from the dealership that you purchased your vehicle from?? Ive already had ONE rotation and its time for my second. For the first one, i went to a local dealership, NOT the one i baught my car, should it be FREE seeing as how it is my FIRST tire rotation there!?!?!

No idea about free stuff, but make sure they torque lug nuts to spec.
Most shops just use air guns and never check. You end up with about 200 foot pounds of torque on each lug nut, when 80 is all it takes.
That can kill your wheels AND your rotors.

MazdaUSA does not offer a national free tire rotation program. As such, any free tire rotation program was some sort of deal given to you by your particular dealer. This is why no-one here can help you, because it's specific to your dealer and maybe even specific to your Mazda purchase (so you're going to have to look up the details of the free-tire rotation program from your documents).

Yep, it's dealer-specific.

Rotate them yourself. As light as our cars/wheels are, it only takes 20 minutes max.

Also, Sears will rotate/balance every 6k miles for the life of the tires for $40.

i just rotated my tires today and to be honest i prefer to do that stuff myself. at least then i know what poundage has been used on the lugs. if you do do it yourself get a nice torque wrench and just some basic jack stands(15 bucks from sears)..makes life lots easier. just retorque the lugs after a few miles up to like 20 or so.
