so far my windscreen have install it but no issue on my auto wiper sensor.
Guys, jz wan to check with you all. For M3 2.0, the spare Tyre is come wif same size 17" or those temporary 1 ? Careless last time didnt ask and check it probably. assume is either 17" or 16" but when i clean up my car tat time only found that mine is temporary used 1, which is vry small in size. i think lik 14 or 15" 1, can it been use ?

the electronic sound when rotating the steering wheel is normal...nothing wrong about that
other knocking sound from here and there is not always the same for each cars

is it to the company account or personal account ? if company account should be safe. because i was doing the same thing before

last time i bring cash and pay direct to my dealer cashier 

not much talk about servicing.

Anyone has experience with other service centers in PJ/KL besides the one at Lot 219 (besides Fed Hgway)?

My past 2 experiences (for my 1st and 2nd service) with them is not too fantastic. The super slowness and the tidak-apaness of their customers is one of the major concerns. Besides my own experience, from my observation while waiting, most of the time, if you enquire whether the car is ready, they will have to 'hunt' for it in the service area.

As for my own experience, I was told that my car was at the wash area and it will be ready soon (as told by the SA). After waiting for almost 20 minutes, then only I realised (when I overheard another SA telling another customer) that the SA that had attended to me earlier had gone on break and didnt bother to hand over my case to another SA. So I had to harass another SA to find out where my car was. A good 20 mins later, he told me my car was ready. FYI, I went to collect my car at 1245 and left the service center at 215. I saw that on the job sheet that my car was done at 1pm.

Perhaps I would try another center next time. Someone who may be looking at this and working or have links with the said center, please bring this up to the service manager (I will also send off an email to Mazda). Keep your team effective and efficient! Perhaps make a trip to other service centers of other makes to find out how they handle their customers instead of giving me an impression of headless chickens trying to locate where our cars are.

If anybody wants to provide feedback to me, please PM me so that I can compile a list of negative or positive feedback to Mazda.

Ya, BERMAZ totally spoil the Mazda brand. Their staff training is not professional enough, service still have room to improve.

Is 1 of the reason that make Mazda not selling hot in Malaysia. They should take note about that.

Anyhow, i still like Mazda ^^ zoom zoom

so far, no major complaints for me on the car la. just the noise issue only, side mirror folding sound is abit loud and the car sound proof is not so good. will abit noisy when u go for high speed, especially the sound from tayar. but anyhow it still acceptable by me because normally i will turn on the music loud.

Beside, another thing that i m not very like is my car don hv the central lock. everytime i need to lock n unlock the door myself. my spec is CBU not sure the CKD have the same prob anot. but this thing u can fix it later on also if u really need the central lock. extra RM 500++ for the fixing.

N also the GPS navigator, it's response is too slow. the cpu processor is slow, i not sure is my device like tis or is normal.

Beside all these, this car is great. I like the feeling of driving, handling is super nice, n i dont feel it is underpower. mayb because I m drivng 2.0.

Btw jz have a drive to genting last week, is superb !!!! Zoom...... Zoom.....  kill a lot of car the day !!! hoho....

Well, i have finally reached my 1K mark and sent my M3 for its first service and also to have the SA look at that annoying knocking noise. The service part only took around 1/2 hr to complete. I sat in the car with the SA during the test drive and he confirmed the sound. I also played a recording of the irritating noise and he looked very surprised. They checked and tightened the under carriage bolts linkages but the sound was still there when we went for the second test drive. About 3 hrs later, the SA told me that they will not take apart the parts because it is a new car. Instead, they will email/log a case with BERMAZ and have their team (a two man team who visits Mazda service centre nationwide) come over to check the problem.
I was told to take my car back first and wait for their call once they confirm the appointment with the Bermaz guys. I will be required to leave my car with them for 2 days then. I wonder when will that be?  He told me usually in within 1 to 2 months. I was like.... !
Somehow, I have a feeling that this is going to drag on for ages and I hope they can prove me wrong. They even remarked that I might need to drive down to KL directly to visit BERMAZ service centre to have the issue solved. I am a bit disappointed that they were not able to rectify the problem.
Is this how all Mazda service centres do service? Wait for the guys at BERMAZ to come?

CKD. Yours CBU?

I guess I am the lucky one  The demo unit which I drove before I got mine did not have this problem. So, its a random but I read from other forums that it's a known issue. Haih....maybe really got to do with CKD. That's what the SA told me also.
Besides the issue I am facing, the car drives gr8. I will be calling them again if they did not get back to me with an appointment date by nxt Monday.

Wow, its amazing, how much feedback we have here! Good that more and more people are coming out to highlight their problems. To the rest who plan to buy or have just gotten their cars, take these comments positively and collectively (hopefully), we can assert some pressure on them! Cannot just keep pushing their cars but their service experience is lousy.

Having said that, I love driving my Mazda 3. Just feel that Bermaz have to buck up as I see more and more Mazdas on the road nowadays.

Central locking -  I got mine fixed at GS (authorised accessory shop by Mazda, located along Jln 222 in PJ) for around 300+, if i remember correctly but definitely not 500+

GPS - a bit slow but bearable, locking to the satellite is better than I expected. Yours is Papago which version?

there was a 'pinging' sound initially from the boot area. I managed to locate that sound to the jack, wrap it with cloth and the sound is gone. Now there is a soft knocking from the back left area that occasionally can be heard when driving slow over uneven roads. The SC said they tighten the sparetire lug but the sound it still there, will probably look into it again soon when I have the time at another SC. Anyone out there has the same problem and managed to resolve it?

btw, I am driving the Hatchback CKD.
