Mazda produces many truly incredible vehicles. At Dolan Mazda, our team works hard to match customers with the best available model. The Mazda CX-3, MX-5 Miata, and Mazda6 all represent top cars on the company's line. They look great and, if the owners take proper care of them, the vehicles should run well. Our dealership wants to assist Mazda owners in keeping their cars running great and also safe. Sticking with the recommended routine maintenance schedule helps such a cause.
Mazda Maintenance Schedules
Like all other makes and models around Reno, Mazda vehicles come with an owner's manual that provides routine maintenance recommendations. At a specific mileage point or after so many months or years pass, the vehicle becomes due for work. Getting the work done on time helps cut down on unnecessary costs and maintenance woes.
Oil Changes
While the most basic of routine service, an oil change also ranks as one of the most essential. Old motor oil doesn't provide the right level of lubrication and viscosity. A ripple effect of troubles can occur when the oil becomes too old, ranging from poor fuel economy to sludge buildups. Make sure the oil and oil filter receive care and attention at the right time.
Tire and Wheel Service
Rotating the tires on schedule helps ensure that the wear remains even on the front and the back tires. Additionally, tire service allows our technicians near Carson City to determine if the tires are in good shape or require replacing. Air pressure gets checked, too.
The vehicle may also require a wheel alignment. Let a technician measure the wheel angles. If necessary, the wheel alignment could be properly adjusted to reduce wear and improve handling.
Brake Inspections and Replacements
Brake pads and rotors wear out from friction sooner or later. Routine inspections, usually performed every six months, and when problems seem obvious, allow a technician to see if the brake system needs work. A technician may inspect lines, hoses, fluid levels, and various parts, such as the calipers, master cylinder, and more.
Windshield Wiper Replacement
Never overlook the importance of replacing worn windshield wipers. Poor-performing windshield wipers could hamper visibility, which is dangerous. A periodic examination of the wipers allows worn and cracked ones to get replaced.
Fluid Checks
Motor oil and brake fluid aren't the only essential liquids in a Mazda. Coolant, differential, transmission, and power steering fluid also require checking. Flushing out the old fluid and adding new fluid could prevent avoidable problems. Old, dirty transmission fluid, for example, could lead to expensive repairs that might not occur with new fluid.
Belts and Hoses
Belts and hoses won't last forever. Age and use lead to cracks and other signs of wearing out. You don't want belts to snap, hoses to develop leaks and other such problems. Changing belts at the suggested interval could avoid problems on your drives around Reno. Getting hoses and belts inspected even before the due date makes sense, since wear or other problems may occur earlier.
Battery Service
Even though a battery can last three years, getting it cleaned and tested at our dealership near Carson City proves wise. Make sure the battery's in good shape, or as a weak battery could fail.
Genuine Parts and Experienced Service
When a Mazda requires repair work or warranty service, taking the vehicle to an authorized Mazda dealership like Dolan Mazda makes sense. Our Mazda dealership's service professionals work on various models and know the manufacturer's vehicles well. Also, our dealership uses genuine Mazda parts, which is a plus.
