so i had this car stalling problem as described here (http://torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?p=159197)
decided to bring in to MoT as i really didn't have much of a choice.. if it was to be covered under warranty then it would get taken care of and if not, well i guess might as well pay them than other dealer..
I called on Saturday and Vince was able to book me in for monday.. not bad.. but when i dropped the car off at 7:30AM i was scared :P b/c Joe wasn't in and Jeff, well he was sleeping :D
I was the first person in the service area.. then a guy walked in and this older woman.. this was all at 7:20 or so, so service folks were just getting their coffee.. i ren back to the car to pick up my bag for the day and as i came back in Vince and the older white guy were settling in.. "who's next?" .. the guy walks over to the counter and the lady says "he was here first then me".. lol WTF!? it was a bit early to put up a fight so i didn't but gave her 'the look' and she let me go ahead.. lol..
anyway, i left the car keys with the silver haired white guy and said 'pleeease call me if there's work to be done that is gonna make me bend over'
i got dropped off at finch and took teh subway to work.. man.. i LOVE THE w810i!!!!!! i was listening to mp3s AND playing games on it at the same time!!! :bana2
anyway.. i called jeff at 2:05PM (he barely settled in) as i haven't heard from the service dept.. and was worried i'd be footing a huge bill w/o being mentally and physically (lube) prepared.. after 2 rounds of phone tag i was 'it' and Jeff announced the great news..
"it was all warranty work.." after that i tuned out ;) "it was the purge valve which was not holding pressure and it was replace and the ECU was flashed with some updates" They were swamped at service but i was on their 'to call list' so no biggie there..
:bana :werd good shit.. i was happy.. i got picked up at finch again.. spent a good chunk of time talking to the dude behind the glass in the corner office (aka Jeff) and bought some 50/50 tickets..

the car isn't stalling anymore.. w00t.. the shifts are MUCH SMOOTHER.. from stand-still to 1st and 1st to 2nd.. and fuel economy seems to be improved too (maybe MK's car WAS flashed and that's how she's boasting those numbers)
anyway.. props to MoT for figuring out wtf was up with my car and fixing it promptly.. i will report back on my fuel economy after another tank or 2.. :hawt
