Hey guys, I had my rear brakes serviced back in February, calipers, rotors and flex-lines all replaced, at a local Mazda dealership.

Few months later, the Friday of the Victoria Day long weekend, I notice my brakes were very soft on my way to work and the brake light came on. I knew then something was probably wrong with my brakes, but I didn't think it was from the work that was in back in February.

Since it was a brake problem, I couldn't drive back to the dealership but instead, I took it to another Mazda dealership in the city that I work at. They took my car in and told me that they'll try to fix it that day.

I had to take a rental vehicle because I had planned to work half day so I can drive up north for a trip I had planned for that I couldn't cancel.

As I was arrive at my destination up north (about a 4 hour drive), I get a call from the dealership indicating that the rear brake calipers were leaked and they could have it repaired by end of day. Since I won't be back until Sunday night and they're closed Monday, the earliest I can pick up my car was Tuesday morning. This also meant that I would need to keep my rental for 4 days.

I picked up my car on Tuesday and on Wednesday went to speak with the dealership that I originally had the work done. They credited me back partially for the work done (some difference in labour hours, they originally charged me for 1 hour labor, but the other dealership charged 1.5 hours to put in the calipers and they could only refund 1 hour labour, blal blah, I said ok fine). They had to submit a claim to Mazda Canada about the rental and they're not sure if it will be covered or not.

I think I'm fairly reasonable asking for the rental to be covered, I had plans that I couldn't miss and I didn't pick that weekend for my car to brake down, especially if the issue is due to work previously done by the dealership.

TL;DR:Has anyone experienced similar warranty claims/issues and had their rental car covered? Thanks in advance!
