I've seen Sky's red 8 all the time at the ABC cafe plaza, just never seen the guy! BTW, any recommendations for dealerships with cool service departments to go to around here? I hope I don't offend anyone, but the one on Main Street (Alhambra Mazda I think) is horrible.

^^+1. i know a few sales there. but they do suck *****...in a pair! don't talk to...pete? the young short asian guy. filipino maybe... that was my advisor for my first voluntary inspection. he didn't do much for me and pretty much wasted my time...and told me PAINT on my exhaust can void my warranty, wtf? they come wit paint from the factory you idiot (end rant).

anyway, just brought the car in for a funny smell. but many on the forum verified it was normal for new car/exhaust to smell that way. (my first rx8/new car in my life)

anyway...may already have prior promises for this sat meet guys... see you next meet boa, and others. have fun and be save...tell me how it turns out k?

peace my chiggas

My dad used to work there at alhambra mazda, everything is cool with me.But he ended up work at honda dealership right now. But if you would like to have an oil change or check up sth like that. Go to Sammy at JRX , they did a good job on those.

lol i know alhambra isnt the best place to go, but i don't feel like driving further to another place. they overcharge, have dumb technicians, and i think they've dinged my car before but refused to fix it. lol and i still go there

The guys over at Puente Hills Mazda are cool. They don't sweat you if you have after market mods. I'm down off Walnut Grove myself and didn't catch this post till today. I'll be there for sure on Friday at the next meet. Someone PM me or email to remind me haha!
