It’s time to schedule a Mazda service appointment with the autumn season approaching. Routine maintenance is essential to make sure your Mazda car continues to run smoothly. Here’s what you should know about autumn car maintenance.

1. Replace Car Fluids

There are various car fluids that are crucial to your car’s performance. Be sure to get the following fluids checked out the next time you’re at our Mazda service center:

  • Engine oil
  • Coolant
  • Radiator fluid
  • Transmission fluid
  • Power steering fluid
  • Windshield wiper fluid

2. Inspect Tires

Tires in poor condition are considered a significant safety risk on the road. Bring in your car for tire maintenance and we’ll check out the pressure, depth, and see if they need to be rotated. If they’ve been worn down to the point where a rotation wouldn’t make much of difference, then it’s time for a new set.

3. Examine Brakes

Brake service is an essential part of vehicle maintenance, no matter the season. A brake inspection includes the following services:

  • Inspecting the brake pedals for wear and damage
  • Changing your brake fluid
  • Replacing compromised brake lines and hoses

4. Check Exterior Lights and Signals

The nighttime comes earlier during the fall season, resulting in more driving when it’s dark out. The UV coating on plastic headlights degrades, making the lenses cloudy over time. To make sure you drive safely at night, get the exterior lights checked, including headlights, brake lights, and reverse lights.

5. Inspect the Heater

The best time to get the heating system inspected is right before the chilly fall weather blows in. The heater is also an essential component of the car’s motor as cold weather can make it harder for gas to evaporate.
