new motor

I was having issues with the car stalling alot and they were doing the stupid "fixes" but nothing was helping. Finally took it last time and by the time I got home from the dealer I couldnt keep it running at all, I had to have it towed back in and they ended up replacing the motor. The mazda of wesley chappel down here in tampa,fl is a kick *** nice dealership. Great service by far. I took it to them after Ferman mazda down here kept wanting to charge me for warrenty things and not fixing the issue. The motor is in and everything seems to be grewat so far, its an 04 auto

I wont go to anyone ele but WC Mazda. Mario has given me everything I wanted and always helps me out. First class service at that place. I knew Mario when he was Ferman. When I found out he left I made the switch too.

WC Mazda

It may be the best dealership, but it has the worst name for sure

if you were responding to me I didn't mean it that way..

what I meant to put across was the fact that the 04 auto's have an abnormally high rate of engine failures... which is why I said "the trend goes on.. an 04 auto [again]"

Not just in China - most of Europe too, for instance.
