With Winter coming to an end, it’s time to prepare your Mazda vehicle for the upcoming Spring weather. Taking the time to properly care for your vehicle will ensure its optimal performance and appearance for many years to come. Scheduling routine maintenance here at Cavalier Mazda is a great way to ensure that your vehicle is ready for Spring.
Checking Your Tires
Now’s the perfect time to change your vehicle’s snow tires back to your standard all-season tires. Since temperature fluctuations can drastically alter tire pressure, your tires should be checked for proper inflation once you’ve made the switch. To avoid other tire damages, including rust and wear, head over to Cavalier Mazda’s service department where they can inspect, balance, and rotate your tires, as well as perform a pressure check. Located at 1552 S. Military Blvd, Chesapeake, VA 23320, Cavalier Mazda offers Mazda owners routine services with convenient department hours available Monday-Saturday.
Replacing Engine Fluids
The condition of your engine’s fluids can be affected by a harsh Winter. It’s important to have your engine’s fluid levels, and condition, checked to determine whether they need to be topped off or replaced.
Checking Your Engine Coolant:
One of the most important fluids to be aware of is your engine’s coolant as it prevents the engine from freezing in the Winter and overheating in the warmer months. It also plays an important role in your vehicle’s air conditioning since the engine’s temperature affects its performance. As a rule of thumb, a vehicle’s coolant should be flushed and replaced at least once every two years.
Scheduling an Oil Change:
Now’s also a good time to have your oil and its filter changed. Oil changes are crucial when it comes to extending the life of your Mazda vehicle. In the Winter months, motor oil can be affected by acid buildup which can in turn negatively affect your engine’s components. Changing your oil will enhance your engine’s performance and helps to prevent engine trouble from occurring in the future. Oil changes should be completed about four times a year and can be scheduled here at Cavalier Mazda in Chesapeake, VA. After Winter is a great time to schedule your appointment so your Mazda vehicle is ready to go when Spring arrives.
Cleaning Your Mazda Vehicle’s Interior & Exterior
Keeping your vehicle’s interior and exterior clean, by removing dirt and grime, will greatly improve its overall appearance. With a little extra TLC after the Winter months you can be sure that your vehicle is ready for Spring.
Your Vehicle’s Interior:
During the Winter months you’ll likely track snow and salt into your car’s interior, leaving the floor looking dirty and worn. Now’s a great time to have your Mazda vehicle detailed before spring arrives to keep it looking its very best.
Your Mazda’s Exterior:
The exterior of a vehicle can also take a beating during the Winter especially due to the salt on the roads. To gain back its sleek, shiny appearance a trip to the car wash should be a top priority. With Spring on its way, rainy weather can also be expected making it the ideal time to have your vehicle waxed. A professional wax job will prevent rain spots from developing on your vehicle’s finish and helps to extend the life of its paint.
By following these tips your Mazda vehicle will be in great shape by the time Spring arrives. A little maintenance can go a long way and when it comes to your Mazda’s performance it’s well worth the effort.
