Where do you usually go for service, my 1k reaching soon. They help you change filter foc?
Air Filter change 20k km onlylah.. And if you got K&N Filter, they will give you the new filter. Good because they don't keep it and sell to others to earn.
But although Mazda comes with 3 years free service and labour, there are conspiracy in it..
We all see cars nowadays offer free service and labour for 3-5 years, meaning these period, you don't have to pay a cent for service. Noticed that SA always ask you to pay something that is not covered? Because they too wanna survive.
Companies keep pushing their cars with offer and rebates you can refuse. But the number of service centre is not growing same rate as selling the cars. Meaning 1 SC used to accommodate 20 cars, now have to accommodate 40 cars and growing. To maintain these, SC need more technician but due to first 3-5 years unable to earn money because of package, they will either simply service your car or not service at all.
I used to think why my Honda City got this jerking problem and keep sending to Honda service centre, they can't resolve it. Best part, it only happen after the warranty expires. Now, I know that these SC deliberately service "poorly" for your car and hope it can damage in 3-5 years after warranty expires so they can earn through you changing parts.
Honda knew the SC can earn money, that is why they recommend that user to change their engine oil every 5,000 km no matter using mineral or high performance fully synthetic.
