With the support of the Mazda service team here at Scott Mazda, you’ll be able to protect and maintain your car or SUV for a long time to come. Because comprehensive warranties cover our vehicles, you can also get the care and service you need without breaking the bank. That said, it’s useful to know what practices to avoid, so you don’t accidentally negate your warranty coverage, including the ones that follow.
Driving in Tough Terrain
Our vehicles are designed to handle snow, ice, and gravel, but it’s best to avoid heading into the wilderness in your new Mazda. True off-roading can put a severe strain on your suspension, alignment, tires, and more, and evidence of extreme off-road driving can void a warranty.
Overloading the Tow
If you’re on the search for tow-ready rides, you’re sure to love our powerful Mazda SUVs. However, checking the manual before loading up is important to ensure you’re not trailering too much weight for the vehicle. Improper towing or towing overweight loads can both void your warranty coverage.
Natural Disasters
Disasters happen. Unfortunately, the effects of natural disasters, such as flooding or fire, will not be protected under warranty coverage. In many cases, these conditions can total the vehicle, meaning the cost of repairs is higher than the car’s value, so try to get your vehicle to a safe location, if possible.
Substandard Parts
Here at Scott Mazda, we pride ourselves on using high-quality Mazda parts for repairs and replacements. While third-party aftermarket parts may be more affordable at the onset, some suffer from improper fit and finish that can actually damage your vehicle. Damage stemming from third-party parts or accessories will void your warranty.
No matter what stage of the car ownership process you’re on, Scott Mazda is here to help. Learn more about coverage, service, and support at our dealership today.
