Exactly what my all too outspoken soon to be a teen daughter just said.

What about seats that seems to be "pilling" or is it piling?

[New2Mazda]

Any updated extended warranty pricing?

Can people post what they had to pay to repair out of warranty and how old the car was at that point?

Does the extended warranty cover the sunroof and its mechanisms?

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Any updated extended warranty pricing?

No change since July 2007.

Which is actually bad news... it is due for a jump as soon as the 2010s land I expect it all to change.

That would be scary...

Wonder how much the PJC cost Marco?


Does the extended warranty cover the sunroof and its mechanisms?

Yes, it cover the OEM Moonroof and it's motor, but not an aftermarket install.

Jeff, I hope you or someone can answer this as it wasn't answered in the other thread.

Recommended service schedule.
It was discussed that if you don't follow this schedule, you may be denied warranty.

is this true?

To my understanding, the word recommended does not mean mandatory. also, the service people never said that to me when i didn't do some of these items.

[El Cheapo]

Did the prices change? I remember years ago when I bought my MAP, the price for the comprehensive was significantly MORE than the Major Component warranty. Accordingly, I only bought the Major Component Warranty. :(

I do expect an increase very soon, but no idea when or how much.

[New2Mazda]

can you buy a warranty on a Mazda 3 with less then 3 years and 80,000km if you purchased used from a non-mazda dealer?

And if so other then the $5/1000 fee how much is it... I know the MSRP but waht is the real price people paid for the 7 year / 160,000km?

[New2Mazda]

or for that matter the real price not MSRP on a 6 year / 160,000km

Best to PM or call Jeff-TheBiz. I am sure he will help you out.

[wikdslo]

So I have a question for some folks in the business?

I found out my car (114k currently) has MAP purchased by the previous owner which is good up until 2011 or 160k.

The person at Mazda told me they will transfer it over to my name, however, I don't have service records from any work that was previously done to it.
I was told the car WAS serviced at Avante Mazda, but not sure for how long or what service was done there.

Is there anyone who can educate me on A) how I can get my hands on some service records.
B) what kind of warranty work would require me to show what types of documentation?

I do have a Lubrico warranty I purchased with the car as I didn't know anything about the available MAP warranty, so I have that one too. Just figure it never hurts!

[kevcol74]

You need to get into a Mazda dealer and pay the $35 to transfer the warranty into your name, Mazda will then send you info on your warranty coverage.
As far as finding out what services have been done, you are sol, privacy act comes into effect there.

[Bean]

What EXACTLY does the MAP warranty cover? I have one up to 4 years, 100,000 km

[Milton Smiths]

I too would like to know what this covers exactly. I just signed paperwork lastnight for a 2009 Mazda3 GX and am thinking of taking the 6yr/160,000 extended coverage.

I was told that the power train also gets extended to the same coverage, but is rust covered for that term also?

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Easier to just check out what it does not cover.. If it isn't there... it is covered.

The "What is covered" would be a small encyclopedia.

As for the rust.. the car comes with a 5yr perforation warranty, just get a rust protection package on it and make sure you do the inspections to up hold the warranty on it.

[Thrizzl3]

when i bought my car it had 97k on it..would it have been worth the money to get added warranty or is it too late?

[Jeff-TheBiz]

it depends on km and time left.. You can only add Comprehensive while you still have Comprehensive.. so at 97k... you wouldn't qualify for MAP.

Sorry Phil.

[Bean]

I called Mazda head office today and asked them for a list of what is/not covered and they will be sending it to us. We never got it when we got the original form. It will take up to 45 days for me to receive it.

Thank you Sir :)

Nice to see Wheel bearings are covered. I dont understand why it will take 45 days for them send it though?

[DrXenon]

If I change my own oil and keep the receipts, will my warranty be preserved?

[chzplz]

I just bought a used 06 Sport GT with 31,000km - it wasn't advertised as having any extended warranty. BUT - lucky me - when going through the glove box, I found paperwork that shows the previous owner bought the 60/100,000km extended warranty (NC5100). At least that's what I think it says - it's all in French (quebec car).

How sweet is that?!?!

Wow - just called Mazda Canada and they make it EXTREMELY hard to transfer these. You need to have the original purchaser sign a transfer form, and you need to supply all maintenance records.

Jeff-TheBiz - any way around this if you don't have the transfer form and the maintenance records?

What a waste of the original buyer's money...

Can somebody out there talk about any major repairs that had to be done to the car when the mileage started to roll way up ?

I had three Mazdas in the last ten years. Just purchased the 2010 3GT few weeks ago. I was offered these kind of extended waranties which for what they supposedely cover I find too expensive. Not to mention that the dealer pressures you to go through and pay for all regular maintance check ups.
You can do your own visual check ups and change spark plugs yourself.

I returned my 2000 leased Protege with 145km. All I ever let the Dealer do on it was oil changes, (apart from the timing belt and brakes).
My 2003 I traded in with 169kms. Same deal !

So as far as I'm concerned I will not pay for those extras.
Let's not even talk about the extra rust proofing, Perma shine, Scotchguard, lif insurance etc....etc...

If I was buying a Ford or a Chevy, Yes, probably.

Just from what i read on here alot of the 2010 ones have been in for alot of repairs already.. so maybe it may be worth getting the extra then

[m_bisson]

is the comprehensive worth buying? Seems like everything that MAY go wrong isn't even covered...

Here's an example: the parking brake cable on my 06 is rusted to the point that it will not release the brakes when i put the elver back down. Not covered by warranty..

[Bean]

Is anything ever covered under these Warranties? Makes one wonder. I have less than a year left with this car and was wondering if the Roadside assistance is included in the Extended Warranty?

[S.F.W.]

[Bean]

Good. So I dont have to go out and get CAA for this year then :)

[m_bisson]

i think i may just forget about the warranty on my new car... seems like a waste of $1500 to me

Edit: i did some research, as suggested below, and have decided it's not worth it. The car comes with the warranty for 3 years, so to extend it to 6 i'd have to pay about $500 a year plus taxes. I doubt i'll have to spend $1500 on repairs between years 3-6 of the cars life, and even if I do, there's no guarantee those repairs would be covered by warranty. Sure I may have to pay $500 a year when the car gets older, but the warranty wouldn't extend pass the 6 year mark anyways. I'd rather have the cash in my pocket.

[S.F.W.]

there are may discussions on this subject. Some say it's great, some say it's a waste. Use our search feature and do a bit of reading before you make up your mind.

I have a question. Once the original MAP runs out, and say we buy the car after the lease is up, can we get another MAP on the car?

I *think* as long as the car is within MAP you can extend. However, once it is out of warranty, you would be looking at a third party warranty.

[Bean]

Okay. :)

[Jeff-TheBiz]

and the third party stuff is more expensive, covers less, and has a deductible.

[slgta]

Ordered a 2010 GS. The dealer talked me into getting a extended warranty (84mths 100000KMs) for $1516 plus taxes.
They said it is a new program of which I will be able to get back all the money if I didn't make any claim on the extended warranty during the 84mths.
Anyone heard of that ? The financial manager told me that it is a comprehensive warranty but they didn't give me a list of what is included and what is not included. I wonder if it is really the MAP Warranty? or maybe it is some kind of third party Warranty?
I am going to pickup the car on Thursday and wonder if I should take the extended warranty off the final paperwork.

I am in the 4th year of ownership and the AC doesnt seem good,. Is it covered under the warranty?

It is confirmed to be the 3rd party Warranty with 'First Canadian". Don't want to deal with 3rd party warranty program. I have decided to remove it from my deal.

[Bean]

How about a Passenger side Engine mount? I am too tired and lazy to read all the posts in this thread.

[Google]

yeah, the engine mount is covered. just had mine replaced. it wouldnt have costed much any ways. not worth the extended warranty price imo. but i got it anyways.

[Bean]

I ended up getting it fixed under the Powertrain warranty

:)

[SKYMP3]

Just 1 thing I want to point out about MAP exclusion. You wont get an alternative vehicule (loaner car) if you bring your car for a rust repair. Alternative vehicle is just if your car is in service/reapir for mechanical issue.

What a upset.... :P

Yes, that's what I think. Ontario Mazda is full of S. That's why I'm contacting QEW Mazda to see if they do anything better.

[DWMmotorsport]

That used to be true. No rental under MAP for paint and rust repair. I think they were getting a few angry calls at customer relations. They now will allow a rental for rust repairs if you purchased MAPas goodwill. Hope this helps.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

I have a question. Once the original MAP runs out, and say we buy the car after the lease is up, can we get another MAP on the car

original MAP being "Mazda Added Protection" you are asking can you extend the extended warranty? Not really, every warranty company will accept a little bit of risk but nothing along the lines of a 10yr warranty.

That being said, if you have the NC4810 on your car (4yr/100K) you can always upgrade it before it runs out to a NC7160 (7yr/160)

[1nmhbacky]

Any updated extended warranty pricing?

Can people post what they had to pay to repair out of warranty and how old the car was at that point?

Does the extended warranty cover the sunroof and its mechanisms?


I had my rear windows sills, the thin frames that splits he rear passenger windows repairs because they had been rusted. Repairs were covered.

I had the 100,000km /60 months warranty, got it for 500 bucks (negotiated) when i got the car in 2006.
I guess it was used slightly and made back some $ for the warranty purchased.

They would not repair my windshield wiper arms, they said the rust is not on the body of the car. It is considered an extremedity. Lol.

Anyway, my rear center light on the trunk, has a bit of rust on it, but im at 132,000km now. Warranty is done. Too bad i can ask them to fix that for free!!

[1nmhbacky]

How about a Passenger side Engine mount? I am too tired and lazy to read all the posts in this thread.

Dont know if that is covered, but its $ 106 for the part, u can do it urself if u have an engine lift/jack. Just a couple of bolts. 17mm

Sorry... what is your question?

[Caesu]

Hey everyone. I have a bit of confusion if anyone can please, please assist me? I went into Prima Mazda for service and was told that they "rec. rear trailing arm bushings" as to be replaced. I checked online and saw that the MAP brochure mentions suspension bushings as covered, http://www.mazda.ca/MciWeb/pdf/parts/en/Mazda_Brochure_en_2011.pdf. When I called the dealer back the individual who did my service said it is not covered since that brochure is a 'newer' version of the plan and the one I bought for my 2009 Mazda 3 in Sept 30, 2008 was not covered. I didnt know what to say except thinking that royally sucks....Then I remembered this thread which was made way back in 2006 and the MAP mentioned here by Jeff as the OP again shows that bushings are not part of the omissions. Can someone please let me know if it is indeed covered by my car or not? It is withing the MAP period of 72/160,000km of course....

Thanks so much!

Yes that is correct. Brand new 2013 Mazda 6 GT I-4 with 409 kms right from a Mazda dealer in Quebec. It was never registered and I am the first owner with the full 3yr/80000 kms. warranty. This is why I am looking at the MAP extended warranty. I have been quoted 3 prices already for the same thing.

[ffjaydee]

What are the prices for the MAP Extended warranty?

I must have missed the quotes or prices for Mazda's Extended Warranty for my 2013 Mazda 6 which I bought in April/2015 from the dealer and I now have 9100 kms on it.

Is it worth it to get this? YousafBilal - $64 per month ? $3,072 over the term. No, I would not say that is good value.

I would look at keeping wear and tear but dropping MAP.

[YousafBilal]

Now they are offering for $50 every month tax included +500 cash. Worth it? That also includes life time rust warranty

Worth it is up to you.
New offer values it at $2,900. What is retail on the packages ? Are they discounting these at all ? do you want the packages ?

The retail price for Rust module is 1695+495 life time warranty, Wear and tear $1705 and MAP $925. All prices are before taxes

your decision. Do you plan to keep the car beyond the 4 years ? Why buy a rust module for $1695, for it not to come with a lifetime warranty ? The $495 is paying for a warranty on a warranty ?
What type of rust does it cover ? Surface rust ? Perforation ? Do you have to go for annual inspections ? Who guarantees the warranty ? How does it differ from Mazda's rust warranty ? How does it compare to a third party annual rust proofing spray ?

I can not make the decision for you, you need to give it some thought.

Appearance protection you are looking at includes tires and rims, MAP includes the tires as well. As for the module.. that is grossly over priced.

I would recommend you take the Platinum without the Tire and Rim addon, and grab the MAP.... Pass on the Module... and bring the car back at lease end........ and then come and see me :D

I'd recommend not buying an electronic anti-rust device. They were designed to protect ships and there is no evidence at all that they work on cars, unless they're immersed in salt water.

If I have this wrong and you mean standard oil or tar rustproofing, $2200 is crazy expensive.

You're looking at 1900 with your 500 back. Depends on how much you plan to hurt the car in 4 years I guess. What is included in Mazda Added Protection?

Maybe I read it wrong? you have to pay $500? i thought it was an incentive to get it.

I can't confirm if those modules work. The 2012 I have doesn't have body rust at 152xxxKM, but it does have rusting on the suspension parts (Rather have those rust cause you can always bolt on new ones)

Unless this module is something fancy, I don't understand how they can charge 1700 on it, when it only bolts into 3 or 4 spots in the engine bay. That's RIDICULOUS.

My 2c; Your leasing for 48 months!! These cars are well built, chances are slight anything serious will happen in that time frame, plus you are protected by the Mazda warranty. Unless you plan on keeping it passed 48 mths, I'd suggest purchasing no additional coverage whatsoever...

If there is a chance you may want to keep it passed the 48 mths, I'd suggest getting it Krowned yearly and immediately.

His lease is 4yr and the standard warranty is 3yrs.. If something serious happens in the last 12 monthes of the lease the repair costs will be the owners responsibility.

As for the Appearance Protection, please tell us what you think it is...

Powertrain warranty is 5 years is it not? As I stated, chances or probabilities of any SERIOUS issue occurring is low for these cars in that short a period, and chances are most serious issues will occur during the standard warranty period.. Any smaller issues would not incur such costs as to cover the cost of the warranty(s). ...That is my opinion.

As for the appearance protection, I could care less what it entails as anyone who leases a vehicle should have the sense to realize they are required to keep the vehicle as pristine as possible. Any negligence on their part is their own demise. ...That is my opinion.

My concern would be on all the tech that is in the car that not part of the powertrain.. the touch screen for one is not cheap and not sure how it will stand up to Ontarios climate.

To each his own. I have MAP on both of my cars and have used it to its fullest.

keeping the vehicle pristine has nothing to do with replacing a windshield due to debris hitting it. (yes insurance covers it but you still have a deductible to pay.)

Lose a key, scratch a bumper, curb a rim... all covered...

Answering someones question about coverage based on how "you" take care of "your" things is irresponsible. If you don't know what the coverage is, or what it covers, you might be better to just say you aren't sure.

Lease end template is very small and has changed signifiacantly in the past 5-6 yrs..

[YousafBilal]

I may keep the car after end of my lease. Finally got that deal for $3200 (this includes Rust warranty, MAP & Wear and tear) over 48 months. My wife if a new driver and also I park my car in the building basement so already recieved one door ding and paint problem due to dropping of cealing rust.

I said nothing about how I take care of my things, just gave my opinion. You have to weigh the cost of the coverage against the possibility of damage occurring, loosing keys, or things breaking down right? Even if all things occurred in the given period, would the cost of fixing such things equal the cost of the coverage? From my experience and many people I've known, they had few issues in 48 months of car ownership. But hey if someone wants to fork out an extra 3 grand, all the power too them if it makes them feel comfortable, its their money. We've had this difference of opinion several times before, and it is obvious we are both bias in our opinions. So lets leave it at that.

Hi Guys,

Could someone kindly explain me the process for getting MAP transferred from the prev. owner to myself. I bought a gently used car last year and I knew and was also told at the time that the existing 160k MAP warranty could be easily transfered to me upon purchase. However, it appears this wasn't done and now that I am trying to navigate the dealership/ Mazda Canada nexus, it seems that they keep on passing the buck. Someone even told me that I'd have to contact the previous owner, which is completely absurd. Even MAzda's own documentation says that it's fully transferrable to the new owner, what they don't tell you is how difficult they purposely make it to do so.

Anyway, I noticed someone mentioned that JEff was able to help them navigate the process to make the transfer happen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
