Can share the mazda service staff who quoted you this?

I was provided the quote below (before the 50% discount if you buy a package of 5 servicing)

60k - $1045

70k - $374

80k - $582

90k - $374

100k - $835

A bit strange that Mazda is quoting different prices to different owners. See below for someone who brought the package recently

 

After the free service package, you can send the car for servicing at outside workshop, definitely cheaper and the warranty will stand under the law

Hi, my car battery state of charge was 40% when tested at a workshop, and I was advised by the mechanic to replace the battery, even though no battery weakness warning sign has appeared yet. My existing Amaron Q85 battery is just over a year old, and I disable the i-stop function whenever I drive, although I've mostly been making relatively short journeys (< 30 minutes per trip) in the past year due to WFH. I've been using TEK's stock dash camera whose power is cut off when the engine is shut off. Is one year about time for car battery replacement in Mazda 6? What is the recommended threshold SOC for battery replacement? Thanks!

You better get it replaced unless you don't mind stuck.

The tyre and battery workshop that I always go told me the Amaron EFB doesn’t last. He changed 10 of those  batteries, 4 of them don’t last a year.

Now he used another brand Hoppecke I think.

So change it soon.

Anyone ever changed side mirror before? Either the entire assembly or just the upper casing (the half above the turn signal light)? How much would it cost to replace at the workshop? Many thanks.

What is the FC everyone has been getting ? I am getting 8.4 /100km which I think is below the advertised 6.8/100km . Did anyone achieve the advertised FC?

I am getting about 7.4/100

Driven for about 1000km

Hi, everyone. I’m getting a used Mazda 6 2.0 Executive FL (Aug 2018) soon. Have spent the past few days reading this whole thread. Would like to be added to the group chat as well for advice and guidance. Thanks!

Guys, which workshop to go for checking and servicing? No more free servicing for the used unit (39k mileage) but warranty expires in Aug. I live in west coast area.

Just received a call from Mazda to do a preventive inspection. The SA mentioned that there is a promo for 5 servicing at 50% and also 2 extended years of warranty. Did anyone here signed up for this and is this value for money?

I go to this workshop called Gold Autoworks at Toh Guan, Enterprise Hub but there is another workshop 2 shops down called TT motorsports which is quite highly rated.

I've been to gold autoworks and they have excellent customer service but do take note that the pricing they quote are before 7% GST. They aren't the cheapest, but I did my full servicing there and I feel that they're ok, really do the xx number of point checks people usually advertise.
