    Thank you for the replies everyone! I decided to do my own oil change though, just wondering what kind of engine oil do you guys use?

    Edward was very informative and very patient with me, thank you for suggesting advance power house, I will probably go back for my maintenance with the 3. My fuel economy did decrease a little though but he told me ahead of time, since they only had 5w-30 as opposed to the suggested 5w-20, it does feel like the engine has a lot more power though after the oil change

    Edward, Brian and the APH team is really helpful. They don't require a week notice is because they have 4 people working in the shop. Things get done really quickly and smoothly. They also have lots and lots of knowledge of maintaining and tuning a vehicle. Their facility is really advance since Brian doesn't believe in old technology and low end products. Because to him, time is money. I'm glad you're already liking their service. =)

    Ah Yorkdale Dufferin Mazda, not too happy with them either. Is APH mazda certified? Can I do my regular Mazda maintenance there? My friend has a MZ6 and she needs her lighting and door lock wiring traced, would they be able to do that too?
