If you notice your car needs a Mazda auto repair, it may be tempting to delay bringing your car into our service center. However, doing so may cost you more in the long run. Let’s review why it’s important to get repairs as soon as possible, and how keeping a regular maintenance schedule can help you avoid frequent repairs.

The Consequences of Delaying Repairs

There are many signs you may need a repair, such as strange noises/smells, reduced vehicle performance, and dashboard warning lights. You know your car best, and if something seems off, we recommend bringing it into our service center to get things checked out.

Putting off repairs often makes the issue worse, since one broken part can affect and damage other components. The longer you wait, the more extensive the repairs will likely need to be, meaning you may end up spending more on repairs than you would have if you’d brought in your vehicle right away.

Regular Maintenance Service Checklist

Skipping regular maintenance appointments can cause damage to your vehicle’s engine, transmission, suspension, and more. Repairing your Mazda car will be more costly than regular service. Here’s a list of routine maintenance checks to keep your car running smoothly and efficiently:

  • Oil Change: Your car’s oil should be changed every six months or between 5,000-10,000 miles.
  • Engine Air Filter: Regularly changing the air filter regulates the airflow to the car’s engine, improves fuel efficiency, and decreases emissions.
  • Tires: Tire pressure should be checked monthly to ensure a safe and fuel-efficient drive.  Our mechanics will also check the tire tread and rotate your tires if needed.
