My Bumper to Bumper is up in 30 days

What should I do, if anything, in terms of taking my car in for it's final service that would be covered under warranty?

By "service" I mean complaining about coils misfiring, etc.

Cheers.

Covered under factory bumper to bumper warranty. I'm on my 2nd driver's visor. My passenger visor seems to be in good shape as it rarely gets used. Get them replaced if they are remotely not working well - I think I read they are over $100 each new after warranty ends.

QUICK! Grab a 10lb bag of sand, pour it down your intake while your car is on, and then bring it into Mazda and tell them something's wrong. You'll get a new engine.

you should be fine since the important part (engine) is covered till 100k othern than that do a thorough walk around and make them fix ANYTHING you feel is wrong ... wise men always said if it aint broke break it so you can get a new one

Go through the TSBs and make sure you don't have any of them. I had some and i didn't even know it. They aren't likely to fix TSBs for free after your warranty has expired

if your bumper to bumper is anything like the 3k i spent on my bumper to bumper... they won't cover anything under warranty, even if it says on the warranty paper "THIS PART IS COVERED"... it's actually not for some reason.
