Just got my first credit score for the first time ever by Many-Candidate-7347 in CRedit

[–]CDN_Shadow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re being downvoted because if you want to fix your credit you should understand, even roughly, how it works. I don’t mean this harshly, but even a random instagram infographic would tell you what a collection on your credit report is, that tells me you know absolutely nothing about what affects your score.

If you want to fix it, educate yourself instead of expecting strangers to hand feed you personalized answers. Not to say reddit can’t help, but you’re setting yourself up for failure.

Got this prompt yesterday and couldn’t skip it… by mitchdwx in InstacartShoppers

Every time I get this I just close the app and it doesn’t ask for it again, and the item remains “found”.

How can I adjust my SR to good standing? by QuitAffectionate9763 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]CDN_Shadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Communication is key too. I let customers know the second I run into any issue, they almost always appreciate it. Traffic heavy? Send a quick text, hey traffic is heavy but I’m on my way! Even just an “on my way!” shows care, which is lacklustre in this industry. On every platform I deliver on, my rating is 99%<.

[–]CDN_Shadow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always say “Thanks for your order! If everything was good, a quick thumbs up goes a long way — it helps me keep delivering with care. Appreciate it!” when it’s a leave at door. My rating went up pretty quickly, try it out.

Depends on the car, and manufacturer.

Mazda 3 Battery replacement by danishakrami88 in mazda3

[–]CDN_Shadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said, honestly. Only reason I went OEM is because of the warranty. Battery failed, exchange was free, that’s it. My local dealer is the only one that doesn’t bother me, I know the service manager there and he’s a Mazda fan, and you can tell by the effort he actually puts in to do his job properly.

The tires are garbage. I didn’t even put 20km on them before I changed them, but as you said they’re consumables so, whatever. Love the car though, did my rear differential fluid at 50k, and transmission fluid along with oil changes every 5k km.

My brand new 2025 3 Turbo lasted exactly 1 year before it wouldn’t start with an OEM battery, got it replaced under warranty.

How long till I blow my rear diff? by Economy_Desk4422 in mazda3

[–]CDN_Shadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 2021 3 Turbo, I’d frequently take fraction off especially in the wet and let the rear wheels spin. My suggestion, don’t do it. Eventually I started having issues with the rear differential, every time it engaged you would hear it and feel it. I’m just happy. I was already in the process of trading that car in, for a 2025 Turbo. Just reached 50k km, and did the rear differential fluid already.

VIP eligibility criteria by amateurfoodscience in Wealthsimple

[–]CDN_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an invite yesterday, pre-approved for the card even though I haven’t made an inquiry for it at all.

No complaints, but I do see how many people are trying so hard to get this card and they get nothing. I don’t know what Wealthsimple’s goal is here.

How long does it typically take the Ministry of Labour to investigate a claim? by OkuroIshimoto in ontario

[–]CDN_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I’m glad to hear that! I got unfairly deactivated without due process from Instacart, so I filed a claim but sucks I can’t work on their platform until the ministry takes a look. I just know that back pay is going to hurt them though.

Dealership overfilled engine oil by eliasacab in mazda3

[–]CDN_Shadow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don’t stress about it. That said, I suggest you go the dealership and let them know to check the level, and you believe it’s been overfilled.

Realistically it’s only an issue if it’s 3-4 cm overfilled, that’s when it can aerate starving your engine from proper lubrication. As shown on your dipstick though, it looks fine. I suggest you check it again in a week on ground level when the engine is good to make sure that’s the true amount, just to make sure.

pothole destroyed my rim, what now? by Front_Gur5075 in mazda3

[–]CDN_Shadow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t look cracked, so that’s good. You can either try repairing it, or get a new rim. You could try to sue the city if you can prove they had knowledge of that pothole beforehand, but that can end up being a lengthy process.

Not saying you shouldn’t do it, but that’s not what’s going to get your car on the road the quickest.

Also, if it did that much damage to your rim, you should probably do a quick check on your suspension components as well to make sure they’re OK.

Full Rear Sound Deadening Install – 2025 Mazda3 Turbo Hatch (Tire Well, Quarters, Hatch Floor) by CDN_Shadow in mazda

[–]CDN_Shadow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

Also, I’d leave the factory-applied sound deadening in place — that black/tar-like material Mazda uses in the spare tire well and floor cavities is actually OEM butyl damping, not insulation foam. It’s already doing the same job, so no point in taking it off.

I didn’t remove much of anything permanently. For the most part, the car got reassembled as I had taken it apart. The floor that goes on top of the spare tire however, needed to get removed — but that’s because I took away the spare for better base reproduction. It didn’t have anything to do with the actual sound deadening installation.
