My wife and I bought a slightly used Mazda3 almost exactly one year ago. It was a 2012 and had low mileage (26,000 km). We have an extended 7-year warranty on it. The car runs well and we really like it.
My question is -- should I get all of its servicing done at our Mazda dealer? If we got it done elsewhere (i.e. at my local garage which charges lower fees), would it invalidate our warranty? As far as I can tell, it wouldn't, but I thought I'd ask what other Big Blue members do in these situations, as I've received good car advice in the past!
I took our Mazda3 in today for its 48,000 km servicing -- check/lubricate brakes, rotate & align tires, etc. -- and I'm quite sure that I'm paying much more to have the work done there as opposed our small garage. I'm seriously considering the latter.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
