Extreme cold can affect your battery, even if it is a new battery. Cold slows the chemical process that builds voltage in your battery. If the temperature is low enough, the chemical process is slowed enough to deny the amperage necessary to start your engine.

Your battery is the sole source of the current needed to start your vehicle. The amount of amperage needed to crank your vehicle increases considerably during cold temperatures due to the thickening of your oil through which the crank moves. 

In Reno, practicality, reliability and safety are the most important factors when we choose a new vehicle. This of course presents a problem, because most cars designed with practicality in mind tend to forgo a lot of elegant, modern features.

Did you know that two separate agencies gave out safety ratings on vehicles? When you know this, it can be difficult to know which one is right. To give you a bit of background, you should know that the NHTSA is the government-sponsored organization. The IIHS is a nonprofit that is funded by insurance companies.

Here at Dolan Mazda, we really do mean it when we invite you to join the family! 

Last month our team welcomed many of our Mazda and Miata owners back for a family reunion to catch up and talk cars.

We rely on our vehicles to handle all manner of conditions such as weather, roads of various states of repair, and of course different types of terrain. We rely on them to handle this, and we rely on them to do it safely: For the sake of ourselves, our families and the functioning of society as a whole.

Mazda, in an effort to marry their trademark elegance with practicality and a new definition of safety, has designed a new, revolutionary adaptive and predictive four-wheel-drive system.
