    Default Concerns over a modded MPS' service at a dealership??

    Hey guys, perhaps some others may have had experience with this situation:

    I live close to the Wanneroo Mazda dealership, so naturally it's a good idea to get my general service there, right? Well, since my last service I've modded my vehicle, air intake included. They got in contact with me recently to arrange my next service a couple of days and I told the receptionist that my 3 MPS was modded a little bit but nothing too serious I.E. engine internals not touched (yet...) etc. She went and talked to the technicians there and she informed that apparently it would be OK to get my next service with them.

    So I've arranged a date and am taking it in early this Thursday, but I'm still concerned about it, maybe it was the fact that this receptionist seemed and sounded like she was a new employee; I was instantly skeptical, but still kept the appointment.

    My question is, should I expect any hassle or surcharges from the technicians, anything like that? Would they charge extra just because of the fact that they have to negotiate around an SRI, shifter plate, etc? I change my own oil/filter myself so that's a no-brainer. But I gathered that Wanneroo would know about the MPS modding stuff considering that those suburbs are rife with tuners looking after Skylines and Wrexes on a daily.

    Cheers guys,
    KZ

    I've gone to dealers with dp/Sri/tmic before.
    They just won't change your air filter
    As long as the mods don't cause the issue, you should be fine!

    It'll be fine. Just remind them that you have an SRI and things, just so they don't automatically charge you for a new filter and stuff.
