I called two dealers and they DO NOT know about the "L" reflash.

I want to reflash it... Did anyone from Montreal region reflashed their ECU with the new version "L"?

Thanks!

GO! HABS! GO! ;-)

dealers around here are either real bad or are just playing dumb with us because they are still stating there's no recall , (besides the air bag) and basically they had no service notes...

HABS RULE !!!

 

I have my 8 for last 2 months, almost completed 1000 km breakin period.
I noticed when I push it hard on 2-3-4 fast up shift (<> 4-5k rpm), the engine starting to
drag a bit on the 5 gear, I have to back off to 4th or shift into 6th. It happened a few
occasions but mostly it is smooooooth. I am not sure it is engine misfire. I wanted to
wait for the recall notices and have the car checked out including the "L" reflash. Yet,
I do not see or hear anyone in Canada actually receive the recall notice by mail.

Mileage is about 18mpg and 15mpg if I having a bit of fun.

I live in the west island and my dealer is far away (Ste-Constantin). Anyone have
experience of Service from 2-20 on Sources Blvd. Their client parking is very small
and I afraid there will be door ding if I leave my car for serivce.

There is 2-20 in Ile Perrot. Any Comment?

Option is going to the same dealer as a group. Show the service manager all the service
bulletins and show that we will not take any BS. Hopefully, he will take good care
of all of us as a group.

Yeah! Go HABS Go!

 

Hi TY_888

I bough my 8 at St-Constant Mazda (friend know owner).

But took my 8 for oil change to 2-20 at Ile Perrot (where I leave).
Very good service and the parking is huge.

See you on the HWY 40.

Hi Simon,

Ha ..Ha, I got it from St-Contant Mazda with same story that my friend knows someone (owner) and what I've got is a stupid deal!!!

I think both 2-20 is by own same family (brothers).

Hi TY_888,

I actually got a excellent deal since my friend long time friend is the owner of St-Constant and Brossard Mazda.

Yes, both 2-20's are owned by brothers and the St-Constant one too.

Take care.

Simon.

 

I went to 2-20 for a test drive (called first), but they couldn't get it started. They blamed it on the immobilizer being deprogrammed because the battery died. I wasted my time.

I bought my RX8 somewhere else.

I don't think I did much better there. (see my KM poll in this Forum).

Does anybody know of a Montreal dealership that you would consider trustworthy? I just hate incompetence and untrustworthiness. Maybe I'm just dreaming of an ideal world where the customer is happy with service.
