Thanks for all the replies so far in the thread, I really do appreciate it. :)

So you think OEM $100 x 2 (I may be able to get a better deal, forgot my good buddy's friend owns a Mazda Dealer and can get me the parts at cost I think) is better than Power Slot $140 x 2?
I'll...

Thanks. I'll be having Jimmy do the install, already spoke with him today. He recommends the Power Slot (actually told me NOT to get the magnum). Thanks for the info, I think I'll just go with the...

Hey all,

I'm a noob when it comes to brakes.

It's that time, 64,000km on my 07 MS3. Dealer says I need new front rotors + pads, only 5% left.

I was quoted $100 x2 for OEM rotors & $100 x 2...

That made me snicker, your wife says you now have a 'big boy' vehicle. I say soccer mom vehicle. ;p

Grat's on a new ride tho! ;)

I ended up trading it in to Ajax Mazda, I got $3k for it. I could have sold it privately for more (probably between $4500 - $5000k depending) but I just wanted it gone, didn't feel like doing the...

I had a big accident over 10 years ago with my '98 Civic Si, $14,500 damage done (In '99 about 1 year after I got the car), whole front end ripped off. Insurance Co wouldn't write it off cause it was...

I got a receipt from Jimmy outlining everything he did. Mazda can't say squat. I have every receipt for everything I've ever done to the vehicle.

Mazda also just did the Turbo fix for me in May....

The HTA is what police use, FDR's is what Insurance companies have to use. In theory, some situations you can be wrong/at fault in the HTA, but in the FDR's, you could be not at fault. i.e. You are...

I can't remember what it entails exactly, I went to Mazda, had them print off what was in the service, then brought that print off, my oil & new filter to Jimmy and had him do what was on it. I think...

I had Jimmy do my 48k service. But I still do oil changes at Mazda, I find them cheaper than other places. I buy my own oil (get it when it's on sale) and Mazda removes the cost for oil, so it only...

Ahh, cool. Thx.

Ok yes, in that case it is a 50/50. I just didn't want you to get screwed because an adjuster wasn't doing their job. :)

Do you live and are Insured in Ontario? Cause in Ontario anytime you are rear-ended it is NEVER your fault, even if you stopped dead at a green light for no reason. The person who hit you from behind...

Here's a great example of why Insurance is so high here in Ontario.....

Sorry for hijacking the thread. Completely my bad. =\

I'll stop now.

My car is still under warranty. When you are leasing for those 3/4 years you get nothing back at the end and you just paid to rent. I'll get my $8500 back (maybe more) which I can now use to get...

I've personally never understood why people lease vehicles unless they have their own business and can write off the payments. If not you are just renting a car and making dealerships huge money... ...

You may find it hard to believe but it's true. Insurance Co's are govened by FSCO and IBC. FSCO's website is here and you can get lots of useful info there. http://www.fsco.gov.on.ca/

Yes,...

I didn't assume anything about your age. Try again on what Allstate brings in on Premiums and what we pay? I'm sure you can find that info out, I think it may be on the FSCO website but I'm not 100%...

You should get some facts on Insurance before you rant.... All insurance companies ARE legislated by the governement... We just can't 'make up rates' and just raise people rates for no reason. It...

I just brought my vehicle to Ajax Mazda and they did the Turbo 'recall/fix' on Saturday. They also must have removed the battery connectors cause everything was reset in the car....

I'm not an Agent or an underwriter, so I can't comment on your rates and why they went up. As for Allstate being thiefs.... I'm not going to comment, we'll just agree to disagree.

Did you ever...

Ahh. You have the black TT with the colourful rims (like in your signature there?) I think I've seen it in in the parking garage.

ROFL, you work at Allstate? 404 & hwy 7?
