Service in Atlanta

Any recommended dealers to service the 8 in Atlanta area? In another post, Rick Case and Stone Mtn were not recommended...

If you can get there, use Jim Ellis off cobb parkway and see Doug Aldridge. Best service department around, I've never had a problem and all nice guys.

Try MazCare in Marietta (NorthWest Atlanta) for general 8 service. 770.859.9643. The owner drives an 8 and has been around long enough to have a pretty good handle on most Rotary engined vehicles. I'm not sure if you need warranty work (Dealer) done, but anything else, as well as performance, Mazcare is the place to go in Atlanta.

Unfortunatly, I need to get my gas pedal replaced and go in for the heat recall.

i've heard good things about jim ellis marietta (cobb parkway) and i had a good experience with mazda of roswell the one time i took my car in. when i do my recalls, i'll be going with mazda of roswell because i had a good initial experience with the service department there, and its about 2 miles from home.

It makes creaking and popping noises. I took it into the dealer back at home (Huntsville) and was told that they'll just order a new one and replace the whole unit.

Jim Ellis and Mazcare

For service work talk to Doug at Jim Ellis. For non warranty work talk to Charlie at Mazcare!

Jim Ellis of Atlanta, On Peachtree Industrial BLVD is a good place to go to. THye just did my recall, and replaced my center console lid.

And yes, stay away from Rick Case. That is how you will feel when you leave there.

Sale auto mall hasn't given me too many problems even with the mods, but that's in the dalton area which is alittle out of the way.

Roswell is amazing. Great friendly service. I even got to drive around a Mazdaspeed Miata with my g/f while I waited.
