At the last holiday party, I won a free oil/filter change from my local Mazda dealership. Since I change my own oil, I went in to see if they would just 'trade' me the certificate for a couple of filters. The day I went in, the 'service manager' was on vacation, and he was the only one that could make such a decision. I went back today, and he was at lunch. I waited for a few minutes and the guy I had been talking to (service writer) said he had talked to 'Ron', and they couldn't do it. They'd give me the free oil change, or $20 off 'some service', but they couldn't/wouldn't just give me a couple of filters. Interestingly, not even the ONE they would have used for the oil change. Maybe there's a reason, but no one offered one. I guess I'll order some off the internet. I'm pretty sure I won't be buying them from that dealership. __________________
