I just took my 2007 Mazda CX-7 to McDonald Mazda here in Littleton, CO. It was time for the 30,000 mile service. I asked them to do just what Mazda recommended, they ended up doing a transmission flush, a major engine lube flush, and replaced the differential oil. I asked for what Mazda recommended for this service interval, not anything extra.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT IS UPSETTING - OR THE POINT FOR THIS EMAIL. THAT'S JUST A SIDE NOTE.
When I picked up my car, the whole right side is scratched and dinged in some areas. It's hard to tell whether the OTHER scratches and chips were caused by them as well. I know my CX-7, I hand wash it every 2 weeks and wax it every 2 months. Apart from the major scratches on the right hand side, there are now scratches and chips all over front and sides of the car. The service agent said it was no problem and to bring it back on Tuesday. How are they going to be able to fix everything? What sort of job are they going to do? Is it going to look like it did? I don't know...
Can anyone provide advice? I LOVE my Mazda - they clearly don't care.
RANTING FROM HERE ON - BUT REALLY PISSED!!!
Apart from the right side, it is hard to tell whether they are responsible for most of the other chips (there were some (but few) there before from wear and tear) and scratches on the hood and the right side as well. But, I think they are. As I side before, I take really good care of the car, hand wash and wax it, and pretty much know the car back to front.
From what I can tell, it seems their car wash is what caused all the damage. Not sure though...
I have never had a bad experience with my Mazda or any other Mazda delearship (I used to take the car to Gateway Mazda in Colorado - but moved house so I decided to try McDonald Mazda).
Anyway, if anyone who reads this is thinking of taking or buying their car from McDonald Automative - Mazda - in Littleton, CO - think twice. Buy and service your Mazda at another Mazda dealer in town.
