I don't know why they would tell you that...sounds goofy to me.

So do you think that I should go ahead and install the intake with no worries???

Welllllllllllllll

Two concerns. Do you have a good relationship with your dealership?
Would you be willing to remove it if you had to kae it in for repairs?

Okie so after all this talk about the warranty...the Mazda dealership people maybe you can answer this question...Would you or any Mazda dealership void my warranty for adding fog lights to my MSP 03.5? I just bought the bombtastic kit from zmzm and my dad i on my ass about voiding my warranty...just want to assure him I should be fine.

When I asked my dealership about mods, the said "just bring it in stock and we won't have problems" atleast something to that extent (it was 6 months ago).

The lines my dealer carries: Chrysler, VW, Mazda, Suzuki and Toyota. Never herd of any such problems getting something covered with VW. They should be very easy or they always have been with me.
I can't tell you how many times I have covered items because of obvious signs of abuse. I don't always consider the customer the problem. Sometimes it's just because they didn't know better. I would do the repairs then inform the customer as to the proper way to perform or maintain. If it happens again, s*** out of luck.
I think it's about the attitude that is presented when going to you're dealer. If someone came in with a chip on their should and demanding that I repair their vehicle they would not get my support to the manufacturer. Come to my shop and ask for my help NICELY, and I will fight to get it covered. Please remember that is all a service department hears all day long is complaints. So just treat them with respect and you should have no problems. If you do that then they don't help call the manufacturer and look for another dealer.
I'm a service advisor not the enemy. I just lowered my MSP. Looks sweeeeeeeeet. Already ordered MBC, Down pipe and cold air. I will assure you my MSP will not have a voided warranty.

Of course your car will not be voided, you're the MSA!!! I think you have a bit of an edge on every other one of use that don't work for Mazda. Wouldn't you agree? Not a flame, just stating the obvious here!

Even Mazda has a performance section their web site that includes a link to Injen, but they will deny warranty work if someone shows up with an Injen CAI?

Where on the website does it have an Injen link? Curious(scratch)

Yeah never saw that...but still now answer on my question Mazda guys, do you or other dealerships frown upon installing fog lights or tail lights or stuff like that?

I do work all the time on cars with aftermarket lights, lenses, bulbs, etc. I have never voided a warranty because of that.

What about rust proofing

Hi everyone,

I just bought a 2007 Mazda6 GS Sedan, and I would like to get it rust proofed (living in Montreal, Canada and it's cold and salty here!). I've heard that it would likely void the warranty because holes are drilled in key locations to apply the rust proofing oil. Now, if it does void the warranty, I assume it only voids the rust portion of the warranty? I mean, if you have an engine component die on you, they can't void it for rust proofing your car?! Anyways, the anti-rust warranty is not much with Mazda anyways as I believe it's 5 years/unlimited mileage (whichever comes first) for rust perforation (a hole I assume). Holes due to rust, rarely happen within 5 years, even with an untreated vehicle. By the time you get a perforation, the warranty for anti-rust has expired.

I am looking at a rust proofing place that if you do it every year, and the initial treatment was when your car was < 60,000 kms (37,500 miles), then they give you a lifetime warranty on rust.

This is my first new car, and I really don't want to screw myself..

thanks in advance

I remember being told by my dealership, that a BoV/CAI/Cat back will NOT void the warranty because they are bolt on's. We were specificly talking about genuine MAZDASPEED parts though. (except for the BoV)

I always understood that if you cut or weld something it WILL void the warranty.
