June 2018: A Banner Month for the Mazda Brand
Thinking of setting your smartphone’s navigation to “Mazda showroom near me” and visiting Sansone Mazda in Avenel, NJ? There’s no better time than now, because the Mazda family is hotter than ever.
June 2018 was a banner month for the Mazda brand, headlined by the Mazda CX-3, which posted its best-ever sales. The debut of the all-new 2019 Mazda CX-3 was a huge contributor, helping boost this sporty compact crossover SUV’s year-over-year (YOY) sales by over 92 percent compared to June 2017. In total, more than 2,300 Mazda CX-3 models were sold in last month, which works out to almost 100 per day, including more than a few at our local Mazda dealership.
The award-winning Mazda CX-5 also made headlines. You wouldn’t think this top-performing crossover SUV could get any more popular, but then it goes out and has its best June ever. Close to 13,000 models sold, a 33 percent increase over last June. Even more impressively, Mazda CX-5 sales are up almost 42 percent year-to-date (YTD).

Expert Brake Service at Sansone Mazda
The brakes on your 2018 Mazda CX-3 or 2018 Mazda6 near Union, NJ are your first line of defense against a host of tricky on-road situations, and Sansone Mazda in Avenel, NJ knows this as well as anyone. Our local Mazda service technicians possess the know-how to maintain, repair, and replace your brakes, professionally and cost-effectively.
Expert brake service starts with frequent checkups. When you adhere to a regular maintenance schedule, including oil changes and tire rotations, you can be assured that your brakes will always be inspected.
One core practice is to measure the thickness of your Mazda brake pads. These measurements will help us gauge wear and tear and confirm that the pads and shoes are wearing evenly. Another important check involves a full review of all brake system components that conduct/contain brake fluid: namely, your Mazda car’s brake lines, wheel cylinders, and brake master cylinder. If we find a leak, we’ll patch it up immediately, because low/leaking brake fluid makes it harder to stop your car.
Of course, we’ll also check with you to see if your vehicle is making any abnormal sounds or vibrations. For instance, if you hear a metallic squealing/squeaking every time you brake, it could be a case of a worn-out brake pad making metal-on-metal contact with the brake rotor. This is a situation to avoid, since repairing a damaged brake rotor is an expensive proposition. Instead, navigate to “NJ Mazda service center near me” and we will get you squared away with new brake pads and shoes.
Speaking of brake rotors, these could also be the cause of any odd wobbling and/or vibrations you experience. For this brake issue and many others, trust our local Mazda dealer to make things right!
Right now, we have an offer for front or rear brake service that includes $30 off per axle when we replace brake pads and resurface or replace rotors. This deal is eligible until September 30th, so be sure to come by our Mazda dealership prior to reap incredible savings.
In the market for a new roadster? You won’t want to miss the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata, arriving this fall at Sansone Mazda. It seems like yesterday that this world-class two-door convertible was honored as the 2016 World Car of the Year and 2016 World Car Design of the Year at the New York International Auto Show, and the 2019 model promises to be just as rewarding, if not more so.
Come this autumn, our customers can test drive the revamped Mazda MX-5 Miata near Edison, NJ and indulge its numerous enhancements. Many of these are found under the hood, where the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata model’s retooled powertrain cranks out 17 percent more power while simultaneously delivering better fuel economy. 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque are the numbers the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata outputs, along with a redline increase from 6,800rpm to 7,500rpm.
In order to achieve these excellent power numbers and equally commendable mileage increase, the Mazda brand’s engineers introduced several innovations.

In fact, a new exhaust is featured on this new Mazda car near Staten Island, NY, one which not only minimizes loss, but also boasts fantastic sound quality.
Regarding safety, the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata comes with a new standard rearview camera and some great new optional technologies, including smart city brake support and traffic sign recognition.

What Is a Tire Rotation?
While it’s true that tires rotate every time you’re behind the wheel of your Mazda6 or Mazda CX-3 near Staten Island, NY, there’s another type of tire rotation we have in mind for this blog. Specifically, the tire rotation that involves you visiting our nearby Mazda service center every 6,000 – 8,000 miles so that we can switch your tires’ position.
Depending on the wear exhibited by each of your Mazda vehicle’s tires, we might rotate your tires from back to front, left to right, or diagonally. Why do we do this? It all has to do with tire wear. Most tires tend to wear unevenly, especially the front tires, whose outside edges wear faster due to the fact that these tires “lean” when you turn a corner. The rear tires, which follow the path of the front tires, typically wear more evenly. Nevertheless, ignoring the benefit of a tire rotation could lead to your front tires wearing out far sooner than the rear ones. The end-result is that you’ll need to replace your tires thousands of miles sooner than usual.
The good news is, if you visit our Mazda dealership serving Union, NJ and have your tires rotated regularly, you’ll benefit from a smoother ride and safer handling, along with an increased lifespan for your tires. No doubt about it: in the long run, tire rotations will save you plenty of time and money.
Other contributors to uneven tire wear include poor alignment and incorrect tire pressure. When we rotate your tires, we can remedy a misalignment and adjust your tires’ pressure to the proper level. It’s a simple procedure, and you’ll reap important benefits like better fuel economy, stronger acceleration, and optimum safety.
The 2018 Mazda3: Well-Rounded Excellence
Interested in owning one of the auto world’s most well-rounded vehicles? Set your navigation for “Mazda dealership near me” and visit Sansone Mazda, where you’ll find a generous selection of top-performing, safety-focused, feature-packed 2018 Mazda3 models.
Available as a four-door compact sedan or five-door hatchback, the 2018 Mazda3 never fails to impress. Many awards have been bestowed upon this model, including an IIHS Top Safety Pick. This is one of the industry’s toughest recognitions to earn, but the 2018 Mazda3 ran the gauntlet with ease. Another big feather in the Mazda3 model’s cap is its inclusion on the Car and Driver “10Best list” – not just once, but four years in a row.
Along with a full trophy case, SKYACTIV®-Vehicle Dynamics with G-Vectoring Control is another of the 2018 Mazda3 model’s trump cards. Talk about a smooth drive: this proprietary Mazda technology influences one of the most important assets possessed by this exceptional sedan/hatchback: its handling.
For example, when you take a corner in this car, it redistributes power to where it’s needed. This results in the car’s weight shifting not just at the beginning of your turn, but throughout the entire corner. Test driving a 2018 Mazda3 near Woodbridge, NJ at our local Mazda dealership is the best way to experience this system, which is subtle but oh so satisfying.
If you find yourself deciding between the sedan and hatchback body styles, know that the only differentiator is storage space. Otherwise, both cars are equally outstanding. The hatchback happens to possess one of its class’s largest cargo areas: 20.2 cubic feet behind the back seat, which increases to 47.1 cubic feet when the seats are folded down.

Why Regular Oil Changes Are Important
Few automotive services provide as much value as a regular oil change. For a reasonable price every 3,000 – 5,000 miles, an oil change done at Sansone Mazda ensures that your Mazda car’s most important part – the engine – is always in prime condition.
A Mazda engine is a sophisticated machine comprised of numerous parts. Just like your car’s battery is integral to the electrical system, oil is the lifeblood that the engine in your 2018 Mazda3 near Union, NJ requires to run properly. One of oil’s primary function is as a lubricant, ensuring that friction is minimized when all the engine’s parts are rubbing against each other. Another essential role played by oil is that of a “heat collector.” Without oil, an engine will overheat and could, theoretically, completely break down.
This heat-collecting role comes with a price, however. As time passes, the carbon, dirt, dust, and varnish that intermingle with the heat emitted by the engine will gradually solidify your car’s oil, converting it from a viscous liquid to something more like sludge. Left unattended, this sludge will clog the engine, causing it to work harder to accomplish tasks that were much easier with fresh oil. Pistons begin wearing out, gas mileage decreases, harmful emissions increase, and the engine starts overheating. Avoiding these issues is simple: visit our local Mazda dealership and get your oil changed every 3,000 – 5,000 miles.
Several factors influence exactly when an oil change is needed. How much you drive, what kind of oil you use, and your driving style all play a role. Our team will give you some useful pointers on these subjects – just set your smartphone navigation to “Mazda service center near me” and stop in today for a consultation!
