Worst Dealer Ever!
Dealer: REYNOLDS MAZDA in Norman Oklahoma
First time: I think my heater is broken so I go in to get it checked out and have an oil change. When I came back the manager told me that something is broken and need replacement. So I went to talk to the mechanic about it, he told me there is something that is having a bad connect and all I need is to turn it a little harder. So basically there was nothing wrong with it. I was charged for 3 hours of labor and the manager still tries to persuade me to buy the parts for 300$ I was like I will think about it, and drove off, and it works!
Second time: Dealer tries to charge me 1200 for tires because "I can only replace this tires with this specific tires at dealer because other wise the sensor wont work!" Same tires goes for 600 at other places
Third time: So i need the wheel key for the tires. And I cant find it. I go to the deal see if they can take it off for me. they can for 50$ or I can buy the key for 30$ after they match it for me for 50$ WOW....2 other options avaiable to me are:
1. Have the other place break lock for free
2. Take a picture of the lock and order it only for 12$....

Dealer did nothing wrong. You asked them to look for a problem, they found it.

You want to talk about bad dealerships. Why don't you go ask rotaryrasp and ask him what his dealership did to his car after replacing the engine under warranty. His story wins for worst dealer experience ever. They nearly killed him.
Your dealership sounds pretty normal. Not great, but not actively out to screw you over.
Sorry you had a bad experience.

Seriously though, go look at Rotaryrasps thread about what Mazda dealership has done to them and I swear you will regret making this thread at all. His car was pretty damn nice too and it was destroyed by the stupid tech not connecting the fuel line.
That dealership is basically an EPIC FAIL.

More of these antics show up when times are tough, unfortunately, but there's no excuse for this kind of bullshit no matter how bad things are. Attempted robbery is attempted robbery during boom times or bust.
