    2017~2024 3 Year Warranty ending this month: Any service suggestions?

    Here is link to a post that I mention what I asked them to look at based on a list of TSBs for the 2018. Link To Other Post They said my leather seats were fine, although I know that not to be true, but from I've read in the past, its not worth it to fix them as It just happens again and is a...

    NYC professional hand wash recommendations?

    @rakura I have not been able to find any hand wash place that is any good in the city. Perhaps your best bet is trying NJ or LI. Please post if you find anything.

    Should I fix a dent on Machine Grey colour?

    If it was me I would look into getting a PDR (paintless dent repair) on the dent and see if they could make the paint scratch less noticeable somehow without repainting.

    Paint Correction?

    $300 for a whole car paint correction was my impression, the marks are just in the clear coat (no white) but completely cover both front panels, some of the hood and the front of the vehicle.

    2017~2024 3 Year Warranty ending this month: Any service suggestions?

    Hello Everyone! Happy 2021! My 2018 Mazda GT's 3 year warranty ends this month. So far no problems. A few months ago I asked my Mazda dealer to look over the car and look for anything that's about to go and replace it if necessary, but they said that they don't do that. Oh well. I am going in...

    2017~2024 Best method for removing ice on windscreen on 2018 GT De-icer

    I haven't had to remove ice or frost that much but when I do its usually before I've had enough coffee to remember how to do it. The window de-icer and defogger mystify me do they work or should I just go at the ice/frost with an ice scraper and would this create scratches on glass? From what...

    2017~2024 Machine Gray Paint Bumper Repaint? Or Leave be?

    Taking my 2018 Machine Grey CX-5 GT in next week to fix a few things after a sideswipe. The damage is minor but Im worried about the auto body's skill in repainting the bumper to match the rest of the car as I've read its hard to get right with this "special effect" color. Is it best to just...
