Taking my car into the dealer today
Okay its finally time for me to take my car to the dealership to fix many many things...
-Engine has a burning smell after its turned off
-Clicking on top of the horn cover
-Need new brake lines
-Transmission sounds kinda off, very loud shifting into gears, and 4th gear has problems going into gear
-AC goes from hot to cold and vice versa
Thats all i can think of off the top of my head. I know there's atleast one more thing but i'm sure i'll remember on the way up there. Anywayz still love this car and i cant wait till its back to full running order
Oh ya i'm taking this to Jim Ellis Mazda on Peach Tree Industrial cuz i've heard that they're better then Rick Case and Sutherlin Mazda. But I could be wrong any thoughts?

I usually take mine to Roswell Mazda and have always been treated nicely over there. Also let me know how things go with Jim Ellis since they are closer to my place but I like driving the 8 so much so I take em to Roswell, also I did buy it from them as well so it makes me feel special :D

jim ellis is pretty good to me so far. I dropped it off and i actually got a call from them in like 3 hours and told me all my problems, i forgot to tell them about my brakes but they gave me the inspection for free and i found i need new pads and they're releveling my rotars ($257+tax is that a little much? i dont think so but iono) and they got everything done except the ac which they're getting shipped tommorow and it'll be ready by tommorow =) so far mad propz to jim ellis, but their salesmen are kinda weird...i dont think they knew that there was a mazdaspeed miata(mx-5) i was asking them if i could drive one and i was like: do you have the speed miata? and they're like ya the mx-5's are over here (shows me regular miatas) so i'm like what about the speed ones? oh the speed3's are coming in tommorow so i'm like no the mx-5 and they're like right here once again pointing to the regular ones so i just gave up and went to have lunch.

Okay so i got my car back.
I LOVE JIM ELLIS MAZDA mad propz to them =) seriously they got stuff done in a very timely manner, the ac was not fixed because the part came late but thats okay cuz i need the car for tommorow (my bday party after all ^^) so i'm gonna have to drop it off again but its okay. I got a free car wash and it was very clean =). the actual salesmen dont really know much cuz they never heard of the mazdaspeed miata or were very confused that day but unlike rick case mazda i got everything done in a reasonable amount of time, it would have taken rick case like 3 days to get all this stuff changed i swear -.- i hated their service but Jim Ellis gets propz from me
