I would have sat there till hell froze over before they actually would have done anything with my name at the top of the list for the specialist. McGee did a great job on my behalf and my car is like a completely different car. I love it now!!! Our tech guy at work is a Mazda enthusiast & he drove it probably the way it was meant to be driven using the gears and all and came back smiling!!! Of course, he told me the reason I don't get good gas mileage is because I'm a lead foot, but how could I be anything other than that driving a CX-7?!?!?!
