Calm down your questions have been answered already no need double post the same question
I would not let them do the repairs. When my car flooded the dealership only replaced the battery and spark plugs since they were fouled.
The battery go to your local auto parts store or upgrade and get a optima red top battery. You can find them for 150 shipped on the net
For the spark plugs go to
www.autopartswarehouse.com has them for 85 dollars shipped.
Go to www.finishlineperformance.com for the:
Coils are 26.95 so 107.80 for all four
Spark plug wires are 59.95
Mazda Engine cleaner is 20 bucks and find a DIY on the rx8 club
All these repairs are simple to do. You can find all the DIY's on the rx8 club

WOW, $25 for the engine cleaner and $380 for labor.. jesus.
as invasion said ALL of them can be done yourself... except maybe the motor mounts as they are a bit more involved and you have to get under the car.
those prices are UNBELIEVABLE
spark plugs $80
couls $130
mazda cleaner $20
optima yellowtop battery $165
that is just under $400..
then you might as well let your extended warranty take care of the rest with that low deductible..
