Taking my 8 in for the recall tommorow, air bag and transmission shield or whatever. Have you guys been getting a rental car when you bring in your cars? More importantly have you had to foot the bill?

For me, I got a rental car with no questions asked but I did have to schedule an appointment in advance. In my recall notice, it says "As a reminder, your Mazda Driver's Assurance Plan provides alternate transportation ... for warranty repair". This doesn't guarantee a rental car but in most cases you'll probably get one. It also says "Ask your dealer ... Mazda Rental Car Reimbursement Program".

Oh yea I almost forgot. No you don't foot the bill if it's the recall stuff or TSB related. I think the dealer charges Mazda so that's how they get paid.

I got a Mazda 6 loaner from the dealer when I took my car in for the dealer installed accessories.

All depends on your dealership.

Some dealerships offering loaners to customers who bought/leased cars through them if they have loaners available. Some don't.

Most dealers, however, will not offer a loaner to a customer who did not buy/lease through them.

To be sure, call ahead, ask and, if necessary or possible, reserve a loaner.
