R Exotic 8

Sorry if i'm new but, what card do you have?

mikeb

I have not been paying

the card is for owners that bought the rx8 back in 03
we got 500 bucks and free service for 50k miles due to the horsepower issue

mikeb

I love tustin mazda

the relay in the window broke and they fixed that
they also rotated the tires, changed the oil, changed spark plugs per manual instruction for 37k miles and completed the 30k service

the bill was 470.00 but all covered under warranty

the car is running great and the gas mileage seems a tad better for some reason

I'm getting the 30k done next monday! We're all hitting 30k at the same time it seems! haha

I had my 30K last week - I've been really racking up the miles as of late.

30K Service + Replace the plastic fasteners for the wheel well (thanks to a truck retread) = $525 Unfortunately I don't have the card

Here is what was on the receipt:
Rotate tires, Complete Tune Up, Replace Cabin & Air Filters, Flush all Fluids, Check Belts & Hoses, charge system.

Update:

451.11 for 30K service
33.57 to fix Mud Guard "Clips"
13.77 Enviro charges
30 tax

My bill was 475.00 .... but it's not being covered under warranty. Talk about painful.. then again.. the same dealership has given me free brakes, a free windshield and a free tire.. I guess I should pay for this one..

It's pretty funny reading this post almost 9 months later. If only I had known then where I'd be today. I blew that cash on that 30k service for nothing.

Mine will hit 30K soon. If you really think about it, $300+ for adding & replacing some oil on a Mazda ...that's just not right. I guess they have to make money somehow.

mrkinn

ive had my plugs replaced 3 times now ( flooded it a few times ) im only at 23000 right now so all they really do is change the plugs and check some stuff???? i think down here it was like 369.00 in that range... but then again.. my mazda place down here dosent exist anymore if i had a card where would it be.. im not the original owner and i have no idea when the orig. bought Just cuz im not the orig. owner does that mean i couldnt use the card if i had it.. is it somehow in the computer system that i might have this???

mrkinn

jerky how many miles have u put on ur car since this thread started????

deam

Wait.....so just oil change...sparkplugs...and filter...is that all? No other fluids?

The only other fluid i can think of is you get to take a **** in their latrine for free.

youpey

i was told 500, but that was including the plugs change etc. i have to go in a couple of weeks

Sportura_Collection

You get what you pey for.

youpey

i know, i wasnt complaining, just replying

Raptor2k

thread hijack: anyone know if the 15k service is worth it?

JeRKy 8 Owner

If you combined the mileage from both RX-8s I've owned then I'd be at almost 43,000 miles right now.

Still got a long ways to go before I hit 30,000 on the new one.

youpey

i called again today to make the schedule, they told me 647 for the service...that is a lot higher then the original quote. i am going to have to call again tomorrow to find out why this is so much higher then what everyone else is quoting

Javafuel

The question now is where else can i go to. Any recommendation for Los Angeles area?

SikRedRX-8

Damn I am getting my 30k here in about a month.

Galpin Mazda mailed me a coupon for $290.00 + tax, about $314. Still is a lot for an oil change plus a list of inspections. On the other hand, they gave me a 05 mazdaspeed miata as free rental for 4 days the last time I went there, it was a blast. One thing about Galpin is that they have good services and provide nice free rental cars. It depends on your luck. I've gotten Mustang GT, Mazdaspeed Miata and few Focus all for free while the car is in their shop. Maybe I'll go back.

I just did my 30K service. They billed me $616 (includes tax). Actually they combined 30K and 37.5K services together. They changed oil everywhere, replaced brake fluid, spark plugs and both air filters (intake and air conditioner).

Brice-RX8

rx8-rus, hate to tell you but you could have done all that for $200 on your own, but hey now it is all done, so might have been worth it.

rx8-rus

I know, I know. I used to do oil change myself, but ceased it ten years ago. When I can afford to not get dirty I prefer to outsource the job. Moreover it is a major pain to do something under the car if you don't have a lift.

I'm resurrecting this thread because my 30K service is quickly approaching. I have heard a lot about this free service card that was given to early buyers of the car. I bought this car used last year, but I'm not sure if the guy had this card. (It's a 2004) I will check the folder with all the info he gave me next week when I get back home from school. Does the build date on my car have anything to do with this free service. If he got this card, but forgot to give it to me, will Mazda have it in their computer? Somehow I doubt they will tell me if I'm eligible even if they know I am. Thanks for the help!
