dont worry about the work, if youve been working at any dealership there all similar when it comes to work variety, though the good thing about mazda is you really dont have many full framed vehicles, one warranty item for toyota is on there old pickups the frame would rust out, so you would have to replace it....which means picking up the body, getting the frame, transfering over all the powertrain components, and puting the body on the new one...now thats crazy

Im @ Malloy as a Hyundai tech but I also do mazdas.. Just like every dealer, warrenty work is a main factor of every single day.. The shop doesnt turn any hours... so dont try and come down here please... dont make things any harder than they are now, ya know? lol

As for fairfax and arlington I work with a few guys who have came from up there.

As for rx-8 warrenty... not to much really... motor mounts is the only thing warrenty ive done on them, but most of the mazda work goes to the mazda techs..
