They did that for free to my 8 when I got the alignment.

some of you are blessed that you have had little to no pain at the dealer but mine has been hell and heartache.first three times for oil change it was overfilled and then they forgot to put the engine cover back on.since then i have done the oil changes and all mantinace.gear oil,trans,radiator,brakes,and all fluids.since i bought this car in 04 new w/38 miles on it.(2004 6sp.G.T.)i have had one transmission,oil pan recall,clutch pressure plate blow up,two glove box doors(sliders)four headlights(condensation)two taillamps,water pump,front bumper .battery,starter and at lease three sets of plugs in 55,000 miles,one time and a rear bumper from ahole who hit my car when it was parked,all the while it has been in the body shop for 32 days for a four day repair(guess they for got i work in a body shop and know how long it takes for repairs after you have the parts).each time for a wro repair i was out of my car for a min of two days!this last time they did a recall and a week later i needed a engine(thank god allmighty the ext warrenty kicked in after having to prove and show i did all the right stuff.it was down for three weeks of back and forth from mazda and the dealer.there are a few things i forgot to put in but i love my car and it would be hard to let it go for anything less.since i got it back from the dealer friday it broke down at a gas station and being lucky i found a vac hose off and had been cut by the alt.pulley and the battery termanal was lose as hell.now even tho they put this engine in it started to run rough with a spudder.next day (sat)i checked the plugs and loed and behold the looked at least three years old(wtf!@!) i going back for the new plugs in my old engine and hope they pay for them if i can't get mine.it's time for me to do something to make this feel right to go on with this car.i have done all the right things and i am sick of this dealer who has made it very hard to choose a mazda again after driving my old *** hoda wagon with 235,000 and not any of these stupid problems.it's sad that after four years of the car being down so many times i hope this is all.

Only once in 40k miles and that was because I toasted the catalytic converter after spending 4 days at the track in less than 2 weeks.

Didn't pay a single dollar either.
