I left my Mazda 3 with the service dept. - Lily3
I left my Mazda 3 with the service dept. as the engine check light came on, with no other issues. I was told that I required a new Engine Control Temperature sensor and that the cost would be $450 plus tax! Seemed high for a sensor so I checked with my husband. The sensor could be purchased for $35 and was reasonably easy to replace. I cancelled the service stating the quote wasn't reasonable. They still charged me $146 for the diagnosis, a full hour labor for a 5 minute reading. After I picked up my car my husband checked the coolant level and it was very low so we topped it up and the engine light came off. I was quoted $450 +tax for a $20 fix. The service department cannot be trusted or don't have a clue what they are doing. Don't waste your time and money going here, they will rip you off.
