How to Prepare Your MAZDA for Summer
Summer is right around the corner, which means warmer weather and better opportunities to take your Mazda vehicle out for daily drives around Troy. To get your Mazda vehicle ready for the summer roads, there are some important services you’ll want to have performed on your Mazda vehicle. The service center at Cooley Mazda breaks down how to prepare your Mazda for summer in detail. Take a look at our guide before summer comes around, so you can be ready to take your Mazda anywhere when it starts to get warmer.
Brake Inspection
You might not realize it, but driving your Mazda vehicle around Albany during the colder season can take a toll on your vehicle’s components. Rain, snow, ice, and sleet can negatively impact your vehicle’s brake systems if they’re not properly inspected and serviced. So, when you bring your vehicle to our service center, we’ll check your brake calipers, brake pads, master cylinder, and all the other components of your Mazda vehicle’s brake system.
Underbody Cleaning
Salt, dirt, snow, grease, and other kinds of debris can splash up on the underbody of your Mazda vehicle, causing rust and corrosion. Our service center will power wash your vehicle’s underbody to clean up any potential damage. After we clean the underbody, we’ll have a better idea of what parts have been damaged and what needs to be serviced.
Windshield Wiper Blade Inspection/Replacement
Just like it’s important to see during heavy snowfall, it’s important to maintain visibility during heavy rainfall that comes with spring and summer. That’s why our service center inspects your vehicle’s windshield wiper blades as well as the windshield wiper fluid to make sure everything is working properly. If the blades and/or the windshield wiper fluid need to be replaced, we’ll be able to do so promptly.
Tire Inspection
Extremely cold weather can mess with the air pressure levels of your tires. Additionally, extremely warm temperatures can affect the air pressure levels in your tires. That’s why it’s important for us to check your tires to make sure they’re properly inflated. On top of that, we also inspect your tires for any wear and tear or damage to see if they need to be replaced or rotated. If your Mazda vehicle has winter tires, we’ll recommend taking them off and replacing them with summer-season or all-season tires.
Wheel Alignment
Running into potholes or other kinds of road obstacles around Latham can cause your wheels to become unaligned. This is only worse in the winter, which is why it’s important to have your wheel alignment inspected as the warmer seasons approach. We’ll make sure that your Mazda vehicle’s tires aren’t going too far left or right and that your vehicle can drive in a straight line. If any of your wheels are turning too far one way, we’ll get them aligned!
Oil Change
This probably won’t come as a surprise, but your vehicle’s engine oil is one of its most important components. It lubricates all the moving parts of your engine and helps keep your engine clean of dirt and debris that can travel through it. For this reason, it’s important to have your oil changed, especially after the cold winter months.
Fluid Check
Driving around in winter can cause some of your vehicle’s essential fluids to deplete faster than usual. That’s why it’s important to not only check your oil but also check your windshield wiper fluid, your transmission fluid, and your coolant. These fluids all help keep everything in your vehicle regulated and improve your vehicle’s performance as you drive. We’ll check your vehicle’s necessary fluid levels and replace them if any fluid levels are low.
