Mazda owner pls advice

[SupperTime]

Macpherson service center isn't bad actually. The mechanics there are okay. They seem to know their stuff. Whenever the car got a problem, they could identify the problem and fix it.

 

On the otherhand, Alexandra staff are cocky and service is rude/horrible. Kampong Ampat Ftw.

Alexander got one slightly plumb lady who organizes the handover of the car to the mechanics. I remember seeing her at Kampong Ampat when I first bought my M3. I remember cus she's got a pretty face

What about the Air Conditioner? Is it part of the Mazda service?

Yes, it is.

 

The aircon parts like dryer and filter are changed at service intervals.

If needed the other parts like cooling coil and compressor can also be done there.

Alexandra showroom wasn't local AD idea...it was forced upon them by their Jap principle....

[Andrewtyr]

actually no need 2 showrooms, how many cars does mazda sell a year? high overheads transfer to car ownerrs

[Songcheong]

so, in conclusion, maintenance fee is high?

[C-K]

If you service your ride with agent, the maintenance fee will be on the high side for any car makes.

 

If you service your ride with outside workshop, the maintenance fee for Mazda isn't considered high as the spare parts from stockists aren't so expensive.

 

From my experience,

- Honda and Mitsubishi parts are more expensive than Mazda's.

- Toyota sure is cheaper.

- Nissan & Suzuki - no idea as I or my family members never owned one before.

Depends on ypur budget, where you go. and how you intend to get the spare parts. But for me not really that high.

[Andrewtyr]

Mazda 2 of course, the one on manual transmission. The Mazda 2 auto actually robs the fun of driving such a nippy car.

Yep. Even auto Mazda-2 (hatchback) is much more responsive than Mazda-3. Just that boot space is very small.
