Guys...I've had my Miata since '01 and have had little work done on it, but it's now time for my 45,000 mi. maintenance, and I've not had a great deal of success dealing w/my dealership (El Dorado)...can you give me some suggestions on who would be a good place to have this done at? thanks so much!
Anybody but El Dorado.........
www.miatasolutions.com - Stevan Boyd - if he has time.
What do you want to get done? Host a tech day and people will come help.
Yep another vote for Stevan! :clap:Quote:

I've been a Miata owner since 1997. I've had 5 Miatas over the years.Quote:

2. Pay me to do it. I can do a 45k service pretty reasonable and I'm very comfortable doing Miata maintinace.
3. Contact Miata Solutions as mentioned above.
4. Go to Town North if you want a dealer to do the work. The're the best in the area IMHO.
+1 Those guys are crooks. Don't know about their service department, but thier used sales are full of crap.Quote:

Did someone say Tech Day? :D
Doing the upkeep on your own is an excellent way to learn your car, as already mentioned. Also a great way to save some $$ as well!
Oh, and when 60k rolls around, I highly recommend doing the timing belt and water pump only once. Yeah, don't ask me how I know (stupid ::Censor:: gasket).
Well, mad props to you for the Beasties reference in you signature....
+1... Great to buy a new car from cheaply... but their service dept sucks ::Bum::Quote:
