Anyone in the DFW area done this?

What did it run you?

Don't know, but mine is approaching... 2k more miles (or about 2 weeks). Where did you take it? Let us know what it costs.

 

It's at town north right now. I know the price and that's what surprised me.. $475. I've seen some people say it cost them about 175 less than that. So I was a bit shocked.

 

actually...they tried to charge me $588.00 here in shreveport...tell them to print the list of things and you can do most of them yourself

 

Indeed - half their 'services' are 'checks'..

Blah - waste of money, if you ask me.

 

It's the same with the 15k service: oil change, air filter change, check brakes and tires.

 

I'm embarrassed to say that mine cost me $0.00 (I have the freebie plan )

 

cost me about 60 bucks. i did everything myself except change the trans and diff oil. i did supply the royal purple, best mod i have done.

and they also changed the brake fluid.

I wouldnt have been able to do everything, but yea.. i wanted to do royal purple and red line.. so it's a big waste of money.
I'll probably talk to them about it when they give me the bill in about 25 minutes. Fact of the matter is, most of that stuff isnt worth going to a dealership for, but don't you have to to maintain your warranty?

 

Not true. I'm sure they want you to THINK that...ask them straight out, when you get the bill....I'm curious what they'd say.

 

nope,
you have to change the trans, diff and brake fluid.

Yeahh.....me. Like 5 months ago. Total cost: zilch!

 

AJAX... dont let them see the PIE mod... VOIDED WARRANTY!!!

jk

 

It ended up costing like 400..
Yay..

 

No, I meant that I was agreeing with you when you said half "services" were "checks". The 15k maint was the same in that manner...

 

oops,

sorry

beers

 

$265 here at Mazda of El Paso... if you're willing to make the drive.

 

That's what they charged me just for labor. Parts were another 130.

 

It's worth it. The RX8 is like a fine piece of furniture - if you want it, it really does not matter what it costs - you buy it.

 

what parts were involed at the 30k????

1 AJ04-14-302B Cartridge, Oil Filter 6.25
1 TNMDP Drain washer 1.00

1 TNM400 Brake Fluid 7.95

were in the 30k service. and it is good to see they did the 90wt grease. all the fluid prices are silly, but it is a dealer.

would love to see the labor charges...

the stuff below, o well.... not on the 30k list. i would ask that ??????

Hey Swoope, wanna fly over for my 30k service? I'd love to see you talk to the dealership when they whipped out the list of "services."

 

i like to tell them what i want done at the when i leave it. it cuts out on the drama when i pick it up. i dont understand the issue it is all in the owners manual.

btw i might be in tx later in the month, i miss texas.
