so my car is still at Tustin Mazda..i am getting a new cat, coolant tank, air pump, and motor mounts..they did a compression test and my engine is good. i never authorized a compression test though and they are charging me 100.00$..is this right?

joe that probably something to bring up later in the year when the meets pick up and more ppl are active

I wouldn't be surprised if they're charging you $100 for that compression test because it yielded nothing wrong. Like I said before, I wouldn't have gone to Tustin. Then again, if you think about it, $100 isn't bad for all that stuff lol.

Yeah but can they just do a compression test without walter's approval?

If you take your car in with engine problems it's not a clean bill for them to start testing and replacing **** ***** nilly

mike[piston eater]

iTrader: (3)

true, but that said tustin mazda is the only one i would take it to every mazda dealer i have benn too is full of ****, except for norco mazda, but due to the economy they dissapeared :[

No, but I doubt it was clarified beforehand; when I was leaving my car, I got to the point of it being in the service bay. I was speaking with the tech admin in the building clarifying a few things and he told me that if the CEL was not due to the cat or another warranty piece, I would need to pay a $125 service fee. I felt as though they were trying to almost sneak it by so I simply said nevermind and had them bring my car back out. I think Walter may have hinted/questioned about a bad motor.

Good dealer, definitely - they replaced my tail-lights with condensation when I just meant to drop by inquiring about it. Seems you have to be clear about everything there though. My guess is they may have mentioned something like a potential fee but most likely not etc etc.

as far as i know, i only mentioned the knocking sound which might have led to a compression test? everything is being covered under warranty except for the air pump..they are still unsure..shouldn't the air pump be the first thing covered?

10% off of sticker price :P

by the way, Tustin Mazda was my last resort..lol

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

you mentioned knocking, that's why they tested the compression.
Tustin Mazda is THE only dealership I recommend, I have taken my last two Mazdas there, they have always been fair, taken good car of my vehicles, and have always corrected any issues.

$100 is a small price to pay and it is a just price since you did mention that something could be wrong with the engine. I'm sure they mentioned something about a probable diagnostic fee.
Besides, didn't all the dealerships just tell you that nothing was wrong?

yep, Tustin Mazda has been fair. shouldn't the air pump be the first thing covered under warranty though?
