Ask Smithy Xtra Mazda 2 expensive service

It’s quite normal to have a major service at around 40,000 km, so I wouldn’t be complaining about that. Servicing costs are worth checking and comparing when you’re buying a new car, as they can vary widely between makes and models, and they’re costs you will have to wear for the life of the vehicle. You could, of course, have it serviced by a Mazda specialist if you want to save some money. The dealer’s advice on tyres is not correct, 175/65/14 is a common size and there is quite a wide choice of brands and various prices. Our tyre experts recommend the Michelin or Dunlop brands.
