warranty info?

Hey all, im at about 31k miles and had some questions about my warranty that maybe someone has had some experience with?

Just some background info:
2008
31,xxx miles
extended aftermarket warranty

Ive heard all of the horror stories about being rejected for a reman and i dont want that to happen to me. Anyway, my question is that i do not want to pay the stealerships exorbitant price for my 30k service for replacing coils and plugs etc etc etc and wondering if i did the service myself would that void my warranty since it was not done through mazda?

I also have a aftermarket warranty through zurich and also have the same question, though i think even less of you would know about that unfortunately.

Thanks.

Routine maintenance doesn't void warrantees.

Be sure to keep oil and filter receipts, along with the plugs and coils records.

Just make sure you keep all the receipts on everything you've done maintenance wise.

So I do all my own maintenance at the shop I work at. I have the receipts saved from the oil filters I bough from local Mazda dealer parts counter. Also I use the "My Mazda" section on the Mazda USA website to fill out all my service intervals and miles. In the spot for "service facility" I put the name of the shop I work at.

Will this be enough proof for proper maintenance procedure if I should need any warranty replacement in the future?

^You should be fine. Under federal law, you are allowed to perform your own maintenance. Just keep doing what you're doing

Yeah I agree with everyone. Just keep good records of everything you do. I have an accordion coupon book for all my receipts as well as a three ring binder for the larger invoices from the Mazda parts counter. Should there ever be a need for proof to my extended service warranty company I'll have everything in order.
