Your service was good as usual, however, this time I decided not to take your advice for car service repairs. I brought my 2008 Mazda 3 in for some 5K service and a safety inspection and then was given an estimate of about $2,500 in repairs that were needed. We are close to trading in this nearly 10 year old car for a new or low-mileage hybrid car, so we decide just to have the safety-related items done, which ran about $500, and pass on the other items. Thanks for bringing these items to our attention, it was a good nudge to get on with our plans to buy a new car. John
