Four Tips for Extending the Life of Your Pre-Owned MAZDA Model
If you’ve purchased a quality pre-owned Mazda from Sansone Mazda, you’re virtually guaranteed a long, enjoyable ownership experience because of quality Mazda engineering. That said, if you really want to get as many miles as possible from your car, there are four things in particular that you can do.
1. Clean it Regularly
If you want your pre-owned Mazda car to look good and perform well, make sure you treat it to regular washing and waxing. These procedures are key for preventing dust, road salt, and other debris from accumulating on and inside the vehicle’s undercarriage. Moreover, waxing your pre-owned auto a few times a year helps protect the exterior and the paint from small dents and scratches.
2. Stay on Top of Routine Maintenance
One of the most effective ways to prolong your pre-owned car’s life is to follow its routine maintenance schedule. This can be found in the owner’s manual and through our state-of-the-art Mazda service center. Routine upkeep items include oil changes, air filter replacements, and brake pad replacements. These don’t cost a lot, but they go a long way towards maximizing your vehicle’s mileage.
3. Check the Fluids Often
One of the most underrated things that the Sansone Mazda team does is examine your vehicle’s fluids. This is something you can also do at home, just to make sure everything is clean and replenished in a timely fashion.
We can help you get comfortable monitoring things such as wiper fluid, motor oil, and antifreeze. Other fluids such as those for the brakes, power steering, and transmission are easily addressed by our technicians.
4. Promptly Address Unusual Noises and Vibrations
If your pre-owned Mazda car starts making a weird sound while you’re driving, schedule a service appointment right away. Unusual noises such as ticking, rattling, and sputtering could indicate a serious problem with one or more of the vehicle’s systems. Even if it turns out to be a small problem, for example a simple Mazda parts replacement, it’s best to fix it quickly – before it turns into a larger, more expensive headache.
