Our Car Maintenance Services

  1. Oil Change: Regular oil changes are often the most overlooked car maintenance task. Unfortunately, skipping out on oil changes can have a seriously negative impact on your car. Plus, you will notice decreased fuel efficiency. Check oil changes off your car maintenance checklist by having our team take care of them every 5,000 to 7,000 miles.
  2. Brake Pads and Brake Fluid: Having brakes and a braking system that functions correctly is vital to the safety of your Mazda sedan. The brake pads accumulate quite a bit of wear and tear over the years. Therefore, you should have your brake pads replaced every 50,000 miles. Likewise, your braking system needs clean fluid to brake efficiently. You should have your brake fluid replaced every two years.
  3. Car Battery: You won’t get too far without a car battery that is in good working condition. Avoid getting stranded alongside the road by having your car battery tested twice per year. Car batteries typically need to be replaced every three or four years.
  4. Tire Rotations: Keeping up with your car’s tire rotations should be part of your car maintenance checklist. Tire rotations ensure your tires have even treadwear and that your tires last for as long as possible. We recommend that drivers bring their car in for a tire rotation every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
