Most of us spend a great deal of time inside of our vehicles. Going back and forth to work, taking the kids to their activities, traveling, and more. At time this can cause the inside of your vehicle to look like it was hit by a tornado. Cleaning your interior can get expensive if done professionally, so here are a few tips on how to do it yourself.
If you want to have a fun, safe road trip, with minimal worry, you have to properly plan. You should anticipate what could go wrong and plan accordingly. Work through the following checklist to make sure you have the safest road trip you possibly can:
There are many vital components in your vehicle, and the battery is one of them. Unlike so many of those parts that make your car go, maintenance can help, but after enough wear, the battery in your vehicle will eventually need to get replaced.
Subtle things will begin to happen when it's time to get your battery replaced. You will begin to notice your headlights becoming dimmer, your horn will sound quieter, and your engine crank may get weaker. If you start to experience these slight electrical mishaps or slow-downs, it may be time to replace the battery...
Driving in a lot of traffic can be dangerous, particularly if you are used to relying on public transportation to do so. Keep in mind the following matters when doing so in order to improve your safety while on the road.
- Scope out the route you will need to drive before you leave and be aware of the possibility of one-way roads and other obstructions. Be sure to have alternative routes laid out in the case of traffic, or other problems emerge while you are on the road, and the larger buildings block out your GPS signal...
That "Check Engine" light you see, with the little engine icon, is a warning. This light means that there is something in your engine's system that needs attention. There is no reason to panic, although it should get investigated at your earliest opportunity.
The problem could be something as simple as a loose gas cap. Or it could be more serious. The best strategy to go about doing would be to pull over and check your gas cap. If this reason does not solve the issue, go see an authorized service technician immediately...
One of the main things we have a tendency to ignore about our cars is the tires. Most people don't check tire tread or wear on a regular basis. They just get in their cars and go. It goes without saying that tires get neglected by many of us.
It is important to rotate your tires about every twelve thousand miles. A good way to recollect when to rotate your tires is to have it done when you get an oil change. A good way to check your tires is with a tire tread depth gauge, used by most…
The brakes on your new vehicle are going to be efficient for a certain amount of usage and wear and tear, provided the brakes are inspected and maintain by a trained technician, that you can find at our service center at Dolan Mazda!
Your new vehicle came with some scheduled maintenance advice that breaks down your vehicle’s maintenance for you. The maintenance on this schedule will help your vehicle with performance and to run longer sufficiently...
Getting a new card can be a big decision. After you have found the one that is right, you have to consider how to purchase it. The two most common options are leasing or buying. Both are great options depending on your needs.
If you like to trade in cars frequently leasing is a great choice. When you lease, you are only paying on the depreciation of the vehicle for the time that you have it. This is usually about a few years.
If you intend to keep the car for a long time then buying would be a great…
Here at Dolan Mazda, we don't like to toot our own horns. We already know that Mazda makes some the most exciting, dynamic cars on the road today, but we always feel it's best to stay humble. That said, when someone else, like the veteran automotive journalists at The Truth About Cars (TTAC), has something great to say about Mazda's vehicles, well, we're not above sharing it. That's why we're proud to announce today that Mazda has earned three spots on TTAC's Best Automobiles of Today list.
Yesterday, Mazda issued a press release announcing that its one-millionth MX-5 Miata recently rolled off the assembly line last Friday, 27 years after mass-production began at Ujina Plant No. 1 in Hiroshima.
In celebration of the major milestone, Mazda will be showing the millionth model around the world...
