2020 CX-5 Touring
Hello all. I have been scouring the internet trying to figure out where I can get my hands on a factory service manual for my 2020 CX-5 (note: not the owner's manual).
After little-to-no luck on the internet side, I decided to give a local Mazda dealership a call to see if I could get one from them. They told me that, starting with the 2020 CX-5 models, there is no longer a printed manual for repair techs to use; it's all digital. They gave me two options:
The "mazdaserviceinfo" site above appears to only charge$30/month for a subscription *EDIT: appears to be $30 for just a 24 hour subscription. That sure sounds better than dropping a grand on a manual that's for a different model year. I suppose I could try waiting 2 years until my car is out of warranty, and then seeing if that 2019 repair manual has dropped in price by then.
My question is, am I going about this the right way, or can you Mazda gurus can lead me to a better approach? Is there a standard way to obtain these service manuals?
Any advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

- Get a subscription to a website called mazdaserviceinfo.com, which supposedly gives me access to the digital service manual for the 2020 CX-5; or
- Purchase a physical copy of a 2019 CX-5 factory service manual (one model year before my 2020) for $1,000
