quick service question...

[firstmazda]

When you go for regular maintenance, they top up fluids for you right?
what about light bulbs? Do they replace them for you then bill you for the bulb?
one of my headlights are out.

Thanks,
Ray

My experience with dealerships has always been that they never check the lights unless you tell them and/or they\'re part of the scheduled maintenance. Mazda may be different but I doubt it.

Are light bulbs covered under warranty? Some how I don\'t think so. A fellow worker had his burnt out headlight replaced on his Chrylser under warranty, but that was many years back.

AFAIK bulbs are not covered under warranty, and you have to pay to have them replaced.

The sales person in Markham Mazda told me when I bought my car, it\'s under a COMPREHENSIVE warranty for 1 full year on everything bumper to bumper, as long as ur car did not exceed the milage limit for warranty purpose (80,000KMS) WITHIN the 1st year. So the light bulbs should fall into this catagory if u have it less than a year.

cool, thanks guys. I figured they wouldn\'t replace them.
but they do top up fluids right? like coolant, etc.?

they will not check or top off coolant unless thats party of the list of work they gota perform on your car, i experianced this myself lol.

I think they do when you go in for an oil change.. my sheet said something about checking fluids but I\'m not sure which fluids they check.. I\'ll check my receipt when I get home..

It varies from dealer to dealer. But it never hurts to ask :)

I went into Avante RH for oil change and asked if they could top up the coolant. They did it for free :D

I know that the first service is at 8000km. But has anyone gone in for an oil change at 4000km or 6000km?

[rene]

it\'s every 8000 km or 4 months which ever come first. mine was done after 4 mos. and was below 4000 km.

When one of my \'super white\' headlights burned out after a month I had an oil change done at the same time.
They called me while the car was getting serviced that one of my lights was out but because it was not OEM they wouldnt be able to replace free for me.

So when you go for an oil change, do they put in a generic brand? Can I request to use say, Mobil 1 synthetic and pay more for it? Suppose the answer is yes, must I bring the oil myself to the shop or do they have it there?

i\'m pretty sure it has been mentioned before ... oh well, my search speed is not up to as majoogle yet :hoho

If you want Mobil 1 syn or any other brand, you better bring your own oil since not every dealer has the grade & brand you want. Also, some dealers might b/s that 0w20 will void your warranty while some don\'t (e.g. Avante, MoT)
