Atlanta RX-8 Drivers??
Dear all Atlanta RX-8 drivers, I've been wondering if any of you have had the recall done on your cars yet? I've been going to the dealership (Rick Case Mazda) and asking about it and the Supervisor is like: "How did you know about the recall? Its not released to the public yet, but anyway the parts arent in" and i've been getting that for the past few weeks (been down in Atlanta for 2 weeks) and its starting to get annoying, I want this recall done so I dont have to worry about it anymore. Any and all input would be appreciated.

Yeah, dealers are not moving fast on this one. Maybe because there arent an adequate number of parts available yet. Check this post out. Could help.

Jim Ellis off Cobb Parkway is by far the best guys, talk to Doug, he is the man and a fellow rotorhead. I need to meet up with you guys at the varsity one of these nights.

Roswell Mazda
The best service ever IMO. I have purchased 3 Mazda for them and they have done all of the service. Prices are hard to beat and Kathy Sutton is a doll to work with if you need service. Archie is the tech who worked on my car last.

What you have been told is accurate. The recall will not/cannot be done until you get the notice from Mazda. Ellis Marietta has been good to me and Doug is a good friend and will go to bat for you when he can and it doesn't hurt to mention that Mazcare referred you.
Performance Mazda in Stone Mountain was good but they are out of businness as of Friday.
Don't know anyone at Roswell but if wht05rx8 likes them I am sure they are good.

I have only had my 8 out to the hamilton mill area once, it was about a month ago. So, doubtful it was me. But It could be more, brother in law just bought a house near there.

Right now I just rolled over to 20,000, so there's alot of stuff I'm trying to get caught up on - like this carbon buildup thing (yah, I got an AT... sorry).
You are not the only AT, whenson417 has one too. It is still an 8, so you can stay. :D

We just purchased our RX8 on 8/17/2005 from Stone Mountain Mazda. I don't know if the recall work has been done on ours or not. Since they are not around I can't asked. I guess we will have to wait and see if Mazda sends us a letter. Do you think another dealer can check to see if the work has been done?

Yah, I just got mine back today from the dealership. Everything was fine but they did install the insulation pad and reflash my PCM. The work order was a little vague but I'm assuming it would almost have to be the R flash. The only time it was ever flashed was right before I bought it. The dealer installed the M flash (because it had flooded and wouldn't start). But I can definitely tell a small difference.
Although I did notice a small ding on the rear passenger side, AFTER I left the dealership while in the parking lot at Moe's. AAARRRRRRGGG!!!!!!!
