Our son's 2012 Mazda needed a splash shield replaced and we took to a Mazda dealership. The service foks did a thorough check (and even provided a video walk around) and suggested the following:

1. Replace Belt Tensioner and Belt - looks like bearings in tensioner leaking.
2. Rear brakes measured low - suggested replacement. Front looked good.
3. Noticed leaking from the Timing Cover - suggested replacing gasket.
4. Noticed leaks at the Transmission Cover Pan - suggested replacing RTV and flush / fill of transmission.
5. Suggeted Anti Freeze flush / fill. Had this done about 2 years ago (about 30K miles ago).
6. Fuel induction service - I think this is a fuel rail / injector clean out.
7. Replace brake fluid / power sterring fluid.

We love the car and it's in great shape with about 80k on it. We want to keep it for years. My quesiton is if all the above looks ok? Should be get a Thermostat or any othr parts looked at? Should hoses be replace? We're going to do some of this ourselves /some at local mechanic. Dealership wanted $4,800 for all of the above.

Let me know your thoughts...

 

It’s not about what some members thoughts are it is about what was found by the shop that physically had the Mazda to inspect. If not is a keeper Mazda then I recommend find an independent service shop with an ASE sign so you know they will employ a current certified Automotive Mechanic or even better a certified Automotive Technician to do at least something close to what we call in our shop 100+ vehicle health inspection.

no one on a forum can make an assessment of the health of your Mazda or what may need done with put actually looking at it. Not even me. We can suggest things to do and you can post the results but this would take a long time of a Q&A and even then many things would only be guessing or members saying what they had done.

The list you provided I already see some questions recommended services without any explanation or reasons why? And a couple were not even confirmed?
