Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum so please be gentle! Here's my question... I took my 2018 Mazda3 GS w/manual 6 speed in for a $250 CAD annual service today and walked out paying $1,300 CAD for new rear brakes and rotors. But here's the thing: Last service: Feb 26 - 33,000km Front: Pads 7mm...

Hey everyone :) So today while doing some running around and loading some things into the back hatch I noticed a area just under both tail lights where two joints of sheet metal are joined with rust on it and the paint is starting the paint is starting to bubble so looks like it is from the...

Hello everyone, as the title says, I bought a brand new Mazda3 in soul red paint a week ago only to get hit by a freaking rock the very next day, resulting in a visible spot where the paint got chipped away. To make matters worse, the rock somehow managed to land on the C pillar, of all places...

Doing my leaky oil pan gasket.. Couldn't find a direct replacement online. So f*** it. Fixed up the cover myself 🤷 Gona por15 it a few times after grinding. Better than the jagged smiley face ready to slice your finger 😅

I just bought a mazda3 and I noticed that the read suspension components have surface rust. I live in the UK so the car has been exposed to some harsh winters and salt, but I wanted to check if this is a normal amount of rust for the age and if I should worry about it. This are the worst parts...

I ask myself if there where other 3 owners who have rust on the inside of the exhaust. My 2019 3 exhaust start rusting on both insides exhaust tips. The exhausts tips are still completely clean on the inside, not black deposit at all after 40k km/25k miles, but now they contain some rust spots...

Hi all, I searched the forums pretty carefully before posting this, but I apologize if it has already been covered and I missed it. There are several threads covering 2014-18 models but there don't seem to be any for the BL generation. I'm curious to hear from those of you who live up North...

I'm looking to purchase a used 2014 Mazda 3 sedan @80,000kms and found out the rust situation on the brakes look pretty bad. I'm not technical enough to understand how bad this is or whether some of it is just expected wear and tear from a 5 year old car. I'm in a city with harsh winters and...

My wife saw me drive into the driveway yesterday and said "you have something hanging down from the bottom of your car." Sure enough, there is some bracket that is holding some thing that looks like it might have only been held on by a single bolt. The joys of winter... looks like the bolt...

I noticed some rust spots on my roof after washing and waxing the car this past weekend. They are small and was wondering how do I fix these? Thanks.

I just purchased a 2017 Mazda3 Touring with 40,000 miles, through an online retailer. I am still in my 7-day return grace period. The CARFAX report says it was in a rental program for just over a year, in the Boston area. I had my mechanic (a Mazda-only shop that I have been using for 20...

Hey all..just looking at this rust collection on a 2015 that spent a winter or two in New England area...Is this excessive or I need of attention any time soon? It's similar in front and rear. Bolts here and there have it. Seems like surface rust to me but was a little surprised by it. Some...

Is there any need to get rust protection on new MZ3?

Got me a 2014 m3 a bit over a month ago with only 36,000 Miles. The car drives great, interior is great, paint is shiny, but then I started noticing rust. First just a tiny bit of surface rust on one of the rims. No problem. Then I found rust around some of the under hood bolts, these bolts are...

So I noticed on the top of my car right behind the windshield there are 2 small paintchips with rust in them. What would be the proper course of action for getting the rust off and then reapplying (I assume some kind of DR. Paintchip) paint?

I have a 2014 Mazda with severe rust on the cap behind the wheel rims on all 4 wheels. Is anyone else having this problem? I have owned alot of different cars/models and tend to keep them for over ten years. Never had this type of problem before.

Hey guys, I recently bought a 2014 Sedan. The car is great - runs well and saving money on gas is great! When I bought the car I knew that there was a bit of rust on the trunk welds (which other sedan owners seem to have as well). Wasn’t a huge issue, but after I thoroughly cleaned the car I’ve...

Hi everyone, Bought a Mazda3 GT with 43k titanium flash a week ago. This is my first car here in Ottawa, Canada. I have read the forums about rust problems. My previous car VW Polo (lived in the Mediterranean ) never had any rust issues in 8 years. I know rust is pretty normal up to a certain...
