The Ultimate Service Checklist at Your Mazda Dealership
Routine Oil Changes
Engine oil lubricates the moving parts of your engine, reduces friction and heat, and cleans the engine while protecting it from rust. Over time, oil gets contaminated with dirt and debris, so follow your Mazda’s recommended service schedule for this. It’s usually between 5,000 and 10,000 miles, depending on oil, model, age, and how you drive.

Examples of Mazda Maintenance Available at Your Mazda Dealer
Starter Repairs
The starter’s job is to crank your engine. This action starts the combustion process, and your engine should come to life in seconds. The starter is powered by a strong electrical charge sent to it by the battery when you push the start button. The starter will weaken as it ages, and this will delay starting as the engine slowly cranks.
A starter can also be affected by damaged wiring restricting its electricity supply or by a failed starter solenoid. The solenoid receives the electrical charge and passes it to the starter. If your battery is in good condition but you’re experiencing starting problems, our technicians will check the starter. We can repair damaged wiring or replace a damaged solenoid or the starter, depending on the problem.

Headlight Repair
We all depend on headlights to light up the road ahead. Bulbs will wear out in time and will need replacement. A bulb’s lifespan varies dramatically from 500 hours to 30,000 hours, depending on the bulb type. They can also wear out faster due to problems in the electrical system, worn wiring, or water leaking into the headlight recess.
Driving with a burnt-out bulb could get you a citation and restrict your ability to safely see at night. We can replace your bulbs and upgrade them to longer-life bulbs if you require them. We can also repair any issues like damaged wiring or electrical faults, and your headlights will work perfectly again.
