Customer Assistance (Canada)
Satisfaction Review Process
Your complete and permanent satisfaction is of primary concern to Mazda. All
Authorized
Mazda Dealers have both the knowledge and tools to keep your Mazda in top
condition. In
our experience, any questions, problems, or complaints regarding the operation
of your
Mazda or any other general service transactions are most effectively resolved by
your
dealer. If the cause of your dissatisfaction cannot adequately be addressed by
normal
dealership procedures, we recommend that you take the following steps:
STEP 1: Contact the Mazda Dealer
Discuss the matter with a member of dealership management. If the Service
Manager has
already reviewed your concerns, contact the owner of the dealership or its
General
Manager.
STEP 2: Contact the Mazda Regional Office
If you feel that you still require assistance, ask the dealer Service Manager
to arrange for
you to meet the local Mazda Service Representative. If more expedient, contact
Mazda
Canada Inc.Regional Office nearest you for such arrangements. Regional Office
address
and phone numbers are shown.
STEP 3: Contact the Mazda Customer Relations Department
If still not substantially satisfied, contact the Customer Relations
Department, Mazda
Canada Inc., 55 Vogell Road, Richmond Hill, Ontario, L4B 3K5 Canada TEL: 1 (800)
263-4680.
Provide the Department with the following information: 1. Your name, address and telephone number.
2. Year and model of vehicle.
3. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Refer to the “Vehicle Identification Labels” of this manual for the location of the VIN.
4. Purchase date.
5. Present odometer reading.
6. Your dealer's name and location.
7. The nature of your problem and/or cause of dissatisfaction.
The Department, in cooperation with the local Mazda Service Representative, will
review
the case to determine if everything possible has been done to ensure your
satisfaction.
Please recognize that the resolution of service problems in most cases
requires the use of
your Mazda dealer's service facilities, personnel and equipment. We urge you to
follow the
above three steps in sequence for most effective results.
Mediation/Arbitration Program
Occasionally a customer concern cannot be resolved through Mazda's Customer
Satisfaction Program. If after exhausting the procedures in this manual your
concern is still
not resolved, you have another option.
Mazda Canada Inc. participates in an arbitration program administered by the
Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP). CAMVAP will advise you about
how your concern may be reviewed and resolved by an independent third party
through
binding arbitration.
Your complete satisfaction is the goal of Mazda Canada Inc. and our dealers.
Mazda's participation in CAMVAP makes a valuable contribution to our achieving
that
goal. There is no charge for using CAMVAP. CAMVAP results are fast, fair and
final as the
award is binding on both you and Mazda Canada Inc.
Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP)
If a specific item of concern arises, where a solution cannot be reached
between an owner,
Mazda, and/or one of it's dealers (that all parties cannot agree upon), the
owner may wish
to use the services offered by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan
(CAMVAP).
CAMVAP uses the services of Provincial Administrators to assist consumers in
scheduling
and preparing for their arbitration hearings. However, before you can proceed
with
CAMVAP you must follow your Mazda dispute resolution process as outlined
previously.
CAMVAP is fully implemented in all provinces and territories.
Consumers wishing to obtain further information about the Program should contact
the
Provincial Administrator at 1 (800) 207-0685, or by contacting the
Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan Office at:
Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan
235 Yorkland Boulevard, suite 300
North York, Ontario
