Anyone Wanna Do Me A Favor?

Hey guys. So I went to my local Mazda today and got a paper printed out of all the past work done to my car. Turns out I'm actually on my second engine, haha. Didn't even know. But I don't know, a lot of this is confusing to me. I was wondering if anyone that's done this before and is familiar with these print outs and how vague the descriptions are on the repairs that have been done to the car would be willing to look at mine and tell me what exactly has been done to my car and what recalls have been preformed. If you'd be willing to do this favor for me, please PM me your Fax number and i'll send it over.

Also, my dealer seemed to not know about the 8year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty that comes on RX8's. None of the dealers around here (Orange County) seem to. So I don't know what to do if this engine goes. :/

Thanks!

You need to find a different dealer. Any dealer that is claiming not to know about the 8yr/100k warranty is not a dealer that I want touching my car.

I'll just post a few pictures of the print out and you guys can take a look. This dealer is like a privately owned Mazda dealership, and apparently they don't offer that warranty, however they were able to get me this printout. haha. Thanks for all the help guys

All Mazda dealerships are privately owned.

Thanks!
If you asked them about a 100k mile powertrain warranty, they may have said they didn't know about it because it doesn't exist. The 8 year 100k mile warranty is for the engine core only, the powertrain has a separate warranty.

But in any case, the warranty should be honored at any Mazda dealership, any dealership at all. It doesn't matter who owns the dealership, they have to honor the warranty. Mazda pays them for the work.
