The Mazda Mistake That's Costing Owners $10,000 And It's So Easy To Avoid

There's a mistake Mazda owners are making that's costing them $10,000. Not $100, not $1,000, ten thousand dollars and the crazy part? It's completely avoidable. This isn't a manufacturing defect. It's not a recall issue. It's not bad luck. This is a decision that Mazda owners are making, or more accurately, NOT making, that's destroying their transmissions. I see it every single week in my shop. A customer comes in with a Mazda, 80,000 miles, well-maintained, clean, looks great and the transmission is completely toast. Slipping gears, rough shifting, won't engage properly. Sometimes it won't move at all. The diagnosis? Complete transmission failure. The repair cost? $8,000 to $10,000 for a rebuild or replacement and when I ask the owner about their maintenance history, I hear the same thing every time: "I've done every oil change on time. I rotate my tires. I do everything the manual says." but there's one thing they didn't do. One service they skipped because they thought it wasn't necessary. One maintenance item that Mazda barely emphasizes in the owner's manual and that one skipped service just cost them ten grand. ► SUBSCRIBE:    / @everythingmazda   #MazdaMaintenance #MazdaMechanic #MazdaCare #MazdaOwners Ready to get the most out of your Mazda?
