I bought a 07 Mazda5 a couple of weeks ago at Sill-TerHar in Broomfield. It's my first Mazda and I'm digging it. It fits my family nicely, it has a little pep, and I'm enjoying the gas mileage.
Since I live on the east side of Denver and work in the DTC getting it serviced in Broomfield is out of the question. My options seem to be Burt Mazda on Arapahoe, McDonald Mazda on Broadway, or by an independent mechanic. I heard good things about Burt and not so good things about McDonald WRT their Volvo side of the house.
Anyone have any recommendations, experiences they want to share?
Thanks

Welcome to the club Rob! Post so pics of that 5 up! I'd say go to Burt if you had to choose out of those 3. I've heard bad things about the others.

Go to Burt. I went from taking my car to Gateway for 2 serices to Lakewood for about 3 years and the last 6 months I've been taking it tio Burt. Lakewood used to be great IMO but after the servie man there got replaced it sucked. McDonal just sucks. Recently they damaged a members car to.

Thanks for the welcome.
I'll add taking and posting pix to my todo list, tho, it won't happen for a while, probably till when I replace the stereo.
And any pix will probably have kids in them, as that's what the 5 is good at hauling.

Do your own service & maintenance. The only way it will get done properly IMHO.

I agree. If that isn't an option, I'd opt towards Burt. They've treated me well.

Definately avoid McD. You are closer to Burt anyway!
Is yours an Auto of Manual tranny? Sport, Touring??

It's a silver 07 Sport/AT. It came with the PEP (CD Changer, rear spoiler, etc) and we got the rack on our own. I'm not that happy with the stereo, so first mod on my list when we have some spare cash flow is to get a
Eclipse CD3200, so that I can listen to music/podcasts off of a USB stick. Other wishes for later include an auto-dimming mirror w/compass&temp.
As far as doing it myself, I lack time, space, and skillz.

Even though I bought my Speed3 at McDonald and have never had any issues... I'd suggest going to BURT Mazda. Great group of guys in the Sales and Service Dept.

Most defiantly Burt. McDonalds is a crap dealer. Congrats on the new car!
