How far to your nearest Mazda dealer?
I'm just curious how far some of you have to drive to get your 8 serviced. The closest Mazda dealer to me is 130 miles away. After that it's over 700! How about the rest of you?

Three dealers, all about a 45-minute drive away. None closer.

closest is about 5 mins. Then there's about 3 more in an hour's radius

About 5 miles, I'd guess. No clue where the next nearest would be.

Never paid attention to the miles, but I am one and a half hours drive to my dealership.

130 miles? I don't think I would have bought mine under that condition, given the unique powerplant and all. Anyway, to answer the question -- 5 or 6 miles. Used to be 5 or 6 blocks till they moved to the other side of town.

There's one about 7 miles and then there's another branch of the same company about 18 miles. Wouldn't go to either one if they paid me. I go to the the one about 35 miles away.

It can be tough, believe me! I schedule an oil change and a reflash, then they don't want to flash it because "they couldn't re-simulate the flooding in the shop". It's hard sometimes, because they know they're the only show in town.
