I'm in Daytona and have an '04 RX-8...

Steer clear of the Mazda Service at the Daytona Auto Mall...they'll treat you like dirt, overcharge you and screw up your car.

I know it's a bit far for you, but I take my car to Classic. Been taking it there for years.

A Daytona meet would be awesome!

I called Daytona Mazda (at the Auto Mall) and they were giving me such an attitude I figured I'd bring my car to another mechanic to take a look at it first so Mazda couldn't bs me and low and behold they never tightened my radiator hose clamp (?) so it has been leaking coolant ever since they replaced the radiator. This mechanic was awesome and didn't charge me a dime to tighten it and refill to proper levels. I don't ever want to bring my car back to the Auto Mall not even to fix things they screwed up! So that brings me to yesterday...I was driving to Orlando and my oil light came on. I went to the Wal-Mart for a mechanic to check out for me (only place I could find in an unfamiliar area) and he said that Mazda didn't replace a gasket around the plug so my car has been leaking oil as well since they had done an oil change.
So yeah, I'm pissed and have decided that I am going to take an auto repair class if I can find one maybe at the local community college so I don't get screwed ever again for being ignorant about my car!!!
I have actually had great experiences with Gainesville Mazda, so if you're ever in the area and need to have anything done, I would check in there! Ask for Tyson he has always been extremely helpful and I have never had any problems with their work and at great prices!!
