Hi - I am a first time Mazda owner I purchased a 2016 Mazda6 two years ago and it now has $75,000 miles. I have always had regular oil changes at a local Mazda dealership, and added a new pair of tires. After my last oil change however the list of recommended maintenance has all of the sudden gotten pretty long. Dealer recommended I have a transmission service/flush which I did and paid $270 for, while the car was in for that service the dealer went on to recommend the items below.
- Break flush ($115) they mentioned that the fluid was dark
- Fuel System Cleaner ($198)- mentioned carbon build up in throttle body
- Replace all 4 Spark Plugs ($252) - mentioned wear and tare and showed me a small white speck on the top of the spark pulg
- Replace Cabin Air Filer ($40)
- Replace Engine Air Filter ($35)
I commute 40ish miles round trip in the car daily and it goes on several road trips a year but nothing out of the ordinary, its been an awesome car and I plan on keeping it a long time but I am not sure if these services are actually needed or just extra cash for the dealership. Additionally do the prices listed above seem reasonable?
Any recommendations on what to do first or if the work could be done better by a service center not at a dealership? Any help at all is appreciated. Thanks!
