Hi, I just purchased 2020 CX 5, and want to know is it worth to spend $1599 for Mazda Maintenance package?

 

Maintenance or extended warranty?

If maintenance; are you planning on keeping the car long enough to justify the outlay?

 

What are the terms of the package? I think they have variations. I got the 75K miles/5 Year Mazda Maintenance Package for $750.

 

Be sure it is a MAZDA package otherwise not all dealers will honor it. My dealer did not sell me a MAZDA package.

 

I am planning to keep it for atleast 5 years.

 

Wow, $1,600 for five years of ownership? That sounds way high. I don't think I've ever had a new car need that much scheduled maintenance in the first five years of ownership. Errr, unless new tires are included in that package.

 

I thought so too, went to dealership n he only suggested not to go for it 😂

 

Got a similar quote in the 1000's, when I said it is too much they gave me the 75K miles/5 Year Mazda Maintenance Package for $750. Seems to make sense, since it includes 10 service visits which means it is $75/visit and includes everything needed for the first 5 years. The disadvantage is you pay upfront, the advantage is that there will be no service fee increase for the next 5 years since the price is locked in.

 

crazy my dealer has life time free oil changes.. the other fluids according to the owners manual are life time (if you believe that or not) .. aside from that.. does it cover brakes? i cant even imagine what would cost $1600...

 

I was really excited that I wouldn't have to bring in my 2019 Mazda 3 until every 10,000 miles-ish for an oil change. I brought it in recently, and the service center, at first, tried to upsell me to a $499 maintenance package which included replacing the oil and filter, rotating tires, a "protex protection kit oil and top tier fuel additive," a throttle body service, fuel injector service, and wipers. I said "no thanks, I have only 20k on my car so far!" However, I (now think, foolishly) settled on a "20k mile service" which included an oil and oil filter change, tire rotation, cabin air filter and engine air filter replacement. It came to $250, which is a lot more than I'm used to spending for maintenance at only 20k. In fact, even the simple "5k mile" service (oil change and filter, tire rotation) came to $119.95! Is Mazda now charging a lot more (or pushing upsells) for each service because the cars have to come in less frequently? Thanks for your thoughts!
