alan around here state farm is the only one that I've heard does it for free. did Blue Ridge not get it taken care of?
I got mine done last week for $220 with taxes, no deduct or insurance up at a place in downtown (but they also have an OP place)...
apparently its a stress crack from the design of the body/chassis but Mazda isn't covering the majority of it (this is what a Mazda serv rep I know told me after I explained what had happened; mine was in a parking lot on new year's eve and I was in the car when it popped)
