    Any mods? Do you usually get the service done @ Mazda? Budds, Westowne, Avante are pretty well regarded.

    @mickey_g I do my oil changes elsewhere usually. Just a custom cat back exhaust. I think my catalytic converter is on its way out(metal flakes in exhaust) , but I believe it's covered under warranty as the cat is stock. Just want to make sure I go to a good dealership. Westowne is near me and I would go to them unless someone has other ideas.

    A catback exhaust will not be an issue what so ever. All it does is make sound, it doesn't effect any of the emissions control at all. If they give you trouble because of that, that's a pretty good indication that you should stay away.

    Thank you for your reply. It's good to know that before going in to figure it all out

    Hit and miss. They lost my business years ago but my most recent dealings with them were positive.

    @Jsquared - I know they did maintenance for you, but did they have to replace anything under a warranty claim ?

    Two new headlights when they fogged up. They actually told me about the issue and asked if they could complete the work while in for general service.

    Scarboro Mazda refused to replace my fogged headlights instead replace the lens they did it TWICE and failed. Then had the stupidity to blame my CS bulb. I seen 4 techs and the service manager standing at my car CLUELESS on what to do but blame my bulb. I bitched and said im never coming here again if they don't just replace the dam light. they did after the 3rd time no issues now. Just a bunch of retards there.
