Servicing is important for your Mazda, as these procedures will help to maintain your car’s health and longevity. Our technicians are also able to examine your car for signs of potential future problems. At your Mazda dealership, we provide a comprehensive range of services for your car. These are some of the examples of maintenance we can perform.
3 Essential Services You’ll Find at Your St. Louis Mazda Dealership
Battery Testing
A healthy battery is essential for your Mazda, as it provides the power that starts your engine. A battery will last for three to five years before it needs replacement. As the battery ages, it will become more difficult to charge, and its charging threshold will also reduce. These changes are due to the breakdown of the chemicals in the battery.
Your battery will always show signs that it’s weakening. We recommend that you have a battery test when your battery is three years old, and follow up with annual inspections. This will ensure that your battery is always in good condition. When we test your battery, we connect it to our battery tester to determine the battery’s capabilities. If your battery fails any of the tests, we can replace it for you.
Headlight Replacement
Headlights are vital when you need to drive at night or in other low-visibility conditions. Headlight bulbs have a varied lifespan, depending on the type of bulbs installed in your Mazda. A bulb can last anything from 500 hours to 30,000 hours before replacement. Bulbs can also be damaged due to electrical shorts, a worn alternator, or other electrical issues.
Bulbs that are close to failure will usually appear dim or will flicker. If you notice either of these issues, it’s time to visit us for a bulb check. We advise replacing both bulbs, even if only one appears to be failing. The reason for this is bulbs are installed in pairs, and the second bulb will fail within a few days of the first. Replacing both bulbs saves you time and money.
Tire Rotation
Tires are the only part of your car in contact with the surface. As your car drives, the tires will gradually wear down. The tread becomes smoother and the rubber becomes less elastic and prone to cracking. A tire rotation is a process where we shift your tires from positions of greater wear to positions of lesser wear.
A tire rotation allows all four tires to wear down at an equivalent rate. This enables you to keep your tires in good condition for as long as possible so you can plan for your tire’s eventual replacement.
