I went to Mazda for a new key because the 2022 CX5 fob just crumbled when it slipped out of my butter fingers onto concrete floor and they cost $500 to replace. It does not really function any better than the old fobs.
It now has a LED Headlight malfunction and the dealer is charging $2000 to replace it.
“Recommended service Bulb - Headlight Assembly: REPLACE DRIVER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY The entire casing that includes the bulb and the lens that mounts into the front of the car. $2,004.17”
Has it always cost this much for everyone else? I owned Chevy Silverado’s before and my 2016 Mazda 6 never gave me any issues. Chevrolet gave me bumper to bumper so any issues it gave was just repaired.
I love Mazda but… this is getting ridiculous for simple issues. Can’t imagine what the next minor inconvenience is going to cost me now. I remember mechanics charged less for removing the entire dash to get to the AC compressor.
Genuinely curious about these costs.
Agreed. And while I would normally prefer going to a Mazda dealer for routine maintenance, the new one we are closest to is 2x as expensive as the old one, and quite defensive about their high prices (also 2x higher than Subaru or Honda that we go to). So I went to the local garage that I used to take my '88 to 25 years ago and had my 10k service done for half the price. Really, Mazdas 2013-present are all about the same under the hood, so I have no idea how some dealerships try to differentiate their prices.
I’d your bulb burns out, they’ll tell you they need to replace the entire housing vs just swapping out the bulk fir a new one that costs 15 dollars.
Brake jobs when brakes aren’t anywhere close to needing it, etc. Times are tough for people right now so they’re screwing people extra hard
