Now that the weather in the Philadelphia area is finally spring-like, it’s time to shake off the winter doldrums. If you intend to do more driving now that the weather has improved, you need to know that your Mazda vehicle is up for it. These are the Mazda service tasks to get done sooner rather than later. more 1. Brake Check Stop-and-go driving is pretty much par for the course in our area, which means your daily drive may put a lot of strain on your brakes. This is why it’s a smart idea to have the system checked, and especially if you have noticed any issues, like a squeaking sound. 2. Battery Test It’s possible that the cold and icy winter did a number on your battery. And because they generally only last about five years or so, you should have yours tested to see how much charge it has left. 3. Oil Change Have you had to stop to get gas a lot lately? It could be because you’re overdue for an oil change. With old oil, your engine has to work harder, which means gas is used up faster. Changing the oil is something you’ll definitely want to do if a spring road trip is in your future. 4. Wiper Replacement If you’re lucky, you will get a couple of years out of your wipers. Things like ice and harsh rays from the sun cause them to wear down pretty quickly. To make sure you have the best visibility at all times, it may be time for a new pair. If you need any of these tasks or something else, the service center at Peruzzi Mazda will take care of it. Contact us to make an appointment.

Once you’ve decided to buy a new Mazda sedan or SUV, you will have a very important question to answer: How should I purchase it? You can either finance it or pay for it all right away. Here we go over the pros and cons of each. more Financing Pros The biggest benefit of financing is that you don’t need a lot of money on hand to buy your car. All you will have to supply is a down payment. And, if you’re trading in an older vehicle, it may be able to cover that. Cons Really the only downside to financing is that the money you borrow will come with interest. By choosing a shorter loan term, you can mitigate the amount of interest you’ll pay. This does mean, however, that your monthly payments will be higher. Buying a Car Outright Pros Clearly, the best reason to fully pay for a vehicle immediately is that it’s yours right away. You won’t have to worry about a lender holding onto the title until you pay it off. Cons When you buy a car outright, this involves spending a lot of money. Even used cars can be pricey, so you have to be prepared to potentially take a large chunk out of your savings account. Make the Right Buying Choice at Peruzzi MAZDA If you’re not sure whether you should finance a vehicle or buy it outright, Peruzzi Mazda can help. Let us know what you’re looking for and how much money you have to work with, and we will guide you in the right direction. Get in touch with us or come down to our dealership near Morrisville, PA.

Basic Mazda car care is easy and anybody can do it. This shouldn’t, however, be confused for Mazda service. Car care consists of keeping a vehicle clean and tidy, ensuring that the air in the tires is at the right pressure, and that the fluids are at the correct levels. Service involves much more intricate tasks that, unless you have the know-how, should only be left to the pros. more 1. Oil Changes An oil change is a dirty job that requires that you get under your car to drain out the old stuff. You not only have to collect it, but you have to dispose of it properly. You also need to have the right type of new oil on hand and an adequate amount. 2. Tire Rotations Many people think that a tire rotation just means taking off the tires and putting them in new places. And while that’s the basic idea, they can’t just be put anywhere. The tread wear has to be analyzed in order to determine where they need to go. 3. Multi-Point Inspections A regular multi-point inspection is important to gauge the health of your vehicle. This involves taking a close look at a number of things, including the belts, hoses, and battery. And while you can certain look at these parts, would you be able to tell if something is amiss? Only a trained eye can tell if something is wrong or if there’s a minor issue that could turn into something major if left unattended. If your car is due for service, a DIY approach is probably not the best idea. Instead, put it in the hands of the pros at Peruzzi Mazda in Fairless Hills, PA.

When looking for a non-new car, you of course want one that’s reliable. If you go with a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, you’ll have great peace of mind. more Newer Models In order to get the Certified Pre-Owned designation, these vehicles can’t be older than eight years old or have more than 80,000 miles on their odometers. Have to Pass a Thorough Inspection All Mazda Certified Pre-Owned cars have to pass a rigorous 160-point inspection conducted by a factory-trained Mazda technician. This includes taking a close look at the engine, transmission, and braking system. These vehicles are also taken out for a road test. Benefits of a MAZDA Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Warranty Coverage One of the biggest benefits of a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is that it comes with warranty coverage. All new Mazda models have a three-year/36,000-mile Limited warranty, and all Mazda Certified Pre-Owned cars get the remainder of that. When it ends, a 12-month/12,000 Limited Vehicle warranty begins. These cars are also covered by a seven-year/100,000-mile CPO Limited Powertrain warranty. An AutoCheck® Vehicle History Report Every Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle comes with a history report so you can see exactly how it was cared for and the maintenance it received.

If something is wrong with your car, you will probably know about it pretty early. This is especially true with your brakes. If you have been noticing any of these issues, it’s time to schedule MAZDA service to have your braking system examined: more Vibrations Does the steering wheel shake when you step on the brakes? Or maybe the brake pedal seems to sort of pulsating? This could be related to a bad rotor, which may have to be resurfaced or completely replaced. Strange Sounds If you hear a squeaking sound when braking, this isn’t anything to get alarmed about – yet. This is a built-in warning letting you know that a brake pad is wearing out over time.

Soft Pedal If your brake pedal feels soft and goes down too easily, this is concerning. And if you have to push it to the floor in order to get the brakes engaged, this is a serious issue. Burning Smell A burning odor is never good when driving, and if you smell this when braking, the brakes are probably overheating. Worn-out discs are often the culprit in this scenario.

To have your brakes examined by experts, make an appointment with the service center at Peruzzi Mazda in Fairless Hills.

Even if Punxsutawney Phil doesn’t his shadow, it doesn’t mean that we’re completely out of the woods when it comes to winter. You just never know when another storm will hit, which is why our Mazda service center offers these tips for getting your car out of the snow. more Carry the Right Tools If your car gets buried at your home, you can probably get what you need from your house. But, what happens if a snowplow buries it when you’re at work? This is why you should always have in your car a small shovel and things like salt, dirt, or even cat litter to supply traction. Carve a Path The first step in removing your car is to create a path around the tires. Use your shovel to get rid of as much snow as possible. Rock the Car Back and Forth Now, get in the car and drive up and back repeatedly to create more of a path. Don’t gun the engine; just go slowly to build some momentum. Get Out Your Traction Material If you’re still stuck, now you know why you’ve been driving around with cat litter in your car. Put that around the tires both in front and in back. Hopefully, this will give you the traction you need to finally get out. And speaking of traction, be sure to turn your traction control off. This prevents the spinning of wheels on slippery surfaces, but that’s what you need your wheels to do in this situation. Maybe it’s time for some snow tires so you don’t need to have such a hard time in the snow? For a new set, make an appointment with the service center at Peruzzi Mazda near Philadelphia.
