Re: dealers web's. When I mentioned to my dealer about the brake fluid leak in
my car and that I wanted the paint repaired, the service writer said that
Mazda's part caused the damage and I would have to talk to Mazda about having
the damage fixed! OK, isn't the dealer a representative of the auto maker?
Does this mean that every time I want to have Mazda's car fixed I should call
Irvine and request that a rep be sent out just to fix my car? I'm still shaking
my head and trying to figure out that one! Aren't car dealers wonderful places
to find some good laughs!? ;-)

The Rx-7 Club I used to belong to made a trip out to the distribution
center south of Dallas. One of the dealers showed up also. This was
back when buying an RX-7 meant paying "EXTRA" for ADM. We were grilling
the dealer and the Mazda person on this point. Well, the dealer is
just a authorized distributor and repair facility for your Mazda.
The dealer can charge whatever he wants for a car despite any
wishes Mazda has on keeping the car at sug. retail. Any repair
outside the specific warranty is either paid by you, or at
Mazda's expense. The dealer doesn't have to be involved.
