I went to Mazda for a new key because the 2022 CX5 fob just crumbled when it slipped out of my butter fingers onto concrete floor and they cost $500 to replace. It does not really function any better than the old fobs.

It now has a LED Headlight malfunction and the dealer is charging $2000 to replace it.

“Recommended service Bulb - Headlight Assembly: REPLACE DRIVER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY The entire casing that includes the bulb and the lens that mounts into the front of the car. $2,004.17”

Has it always cost this much for everyone else? I owned Chevy Silverado’s before and my 2016 Mazda 6 never gave me any issues. Chevrolet gave me bumper to bumper so any issues it gave was just repaired.

I love Mazda but… this is getting ridiculous for simple issues. Can’t imagine what the next minor inconvenience is going to cost me now. I remember mechanics charged less for removing the entire dash to get to the AC compressor.

Genuinely curious about these costs.

    You went to the dealership. There’s your problem. Prices are sky high at every dealership.

    I had an oil change, transmission fluid change, Ac repair ($100 I’m parts), and 4 wheel alignment done for $800 at an independent shop. Some job would have been about $2000 at the dealership ($450 for a transmission fluid change alone lol)
