Which dealer are you going for your RX-8 recall testing?
Just curious to see where other RX-8 owners are going to take their cars for the August 2006 recall testing and to see if any dealers are more highly recommended than others.

Most likely either Seaside or Salinas Mazda. Unfortunately, I haven't heard much about either dealership, good or bad.
If you're in the SF Bay Area, I have heard that Menlo Mazda is the pits.

menlo mazda is actually pretty good! i brought my car in the other day and they didnt say anything about the aftermarket parts that i have on my car. i even asked them if my revi intake and exhaust would void warranty and they said no. so im definitely going back there to do my recalls.

That's where I bought my car and so far the service folks were good to me. No complaints - hopefully it'll stay that way
