Thank you sir. I love the builders work and the house over all.
My problem with the "empire hates your stick figures family" decal, is that you've just chosen a different side. It is still a stick figure decal that everyone on the road will come across. Not that I hate or prefer either one, to me they are still the same thing.
"Fuel induction service" is a just a fancy name the dealership uses for throttle body and valve cleaning. Though since they only charge $150, I'm almost positive they do not walnut blast the intake valves (because the labor would be expensive for this). Last time I asked about it, the service advisor said they use a machine to pump some fuel cleaner or chemicals into the intake values to clean it.
I will have to do some reading into those rear brake issues you mentioned.
I have brand new headlights that they replaced under warranty last year, so that's as good as it gets as far headlights and warranty goes. I do hope they don't fail on me later. I just came across a 2016 CX-5 with the left DRL not working a few days ago.
The salesman who sold us our CX-5 said the same thing. That no matter what the service advisors say, our car has a sealed transmission and I can pretty much ignore recommendations for transmission flushes. The guy is fairly new compared to other service advisors at the dealership, but he was also the one who was pushing for some early services before. So I'm not surprised he was recommending a transmission flush. I just much pretty much ignore any recommendations like that.

Friend just told me that MNAO is only willing to pay the maximum of $1,500 for 2 LED headlights. So much for those getting free replacement with warranty ran out. I checked with my dealer (the same dealer for him) and found out MNAO's cost is $1,898 for the job. Not sure if the dealer would charge more to my friend for the markup. In any event I thought even $398 is excessive, as his 2016 CX-5 with 19,500 miles was purchased on April 5th, 2015. And the failure of these LED headlights definitely is a design defect. The last 2 cars he bought new were a Mazda6 and a CX-5, now is getting another new vehicle. He said he'll never get another Mazda after this experience!
Today, my first service maintenance at 8k KM exactly 5 months since I got this car. Dealer wanted to do free car wash as complimentary but said no since I just did a full detail clean yesterday. No thanks for the swirly mark ok Mr. Dealership... Also added a decal sticker on the back after car wash. What do you guys think?
Stick figures still popular their (uhm)
They used to be here but not so much for the last year or so

Not really popular but I say a lot of the big vans and SUV still has them and since my wife is expecting our first child, why not go with the fad =) ...

The problem with the stick figure decals is that the ones where theres a dinosaur eating the stick figures and other miscellaneous ones like that are just as prevalent. That said, it's your car, do what you want! (thumb)

Just finished getting my rear differential and transfer case oil changed.
Also got some information from the dealer regarding a transmission fluid change. They gave me a pamphlet that explained what they did. They specifically said they even disagreed with Mazda and definitely recommend replacing the fluid.

My Mazda dealer also recommends ATF change, but only drain-and-fill with ATF filter change on CX-5 with SkyActiv-Drive auto tranny.
SkyActiv-Drive auto tranny has no ATF lines coming out and feed into an AFT cooler normally sits inside of radiator. Instead Mazda feeds engine coolant into the transmission to cool down the ATF. Transmission flushing machine needs ATF in/out ports to hook up and circulate old AFT replacing with fresh ATF. This means there’s no way to hook up such machine and “flush” the transmission, unless the torque converter is removed for major service.
Was it due for tyre rotation (uhm)

Hmm...so is he just lying to me then? He made it sound like they had the special equipment needed to do it.
