When you drive home in a new Mazda, you’ll quickly come to love your new sensation behind the wheel. That being said, if you notice your car delivering a subpar driving experience, you likely need to head to our Mazda repair shop.

Thankfully, our team here at Peruzzi Mazda is capable of getting your car back to driving like new in no time. Here are some signs that you might need to swing by our repair shop.

Your Battery Won’t Charge 

If you are having electrical problems in your Mazda car, like your car battery not keeping a charge, it might not actually be your battery that’s the problem.

If you jumpstart your engine and your car still won’t start, it could mean you need a new alternator. Either way, bring your car over to our repair shop so we can diagnose the problem and help you find the parts you need.  

Decreased MPG 

Other than to accurately budget, another reason to track your car’s MPG is to determine if your car might need repairs. Problems like old spark plugs, clogged air filters, and low oil can all reduce your car’s fuel efficiency. You’ll also probably notice your car struggling to get up to speed in this case.  

Unpleasant Sounds 

Generally, you should hear a subtle revving noise from your engine when you accelerate. However, there are several sounds you might hear if your car needs repairs.

For instance, if your brakes are making screeching or grinding noises, you may need new brake pads or calipers. If you hear knocking sounds from your engine, this could indicate that it needs new bearings.   

If you notice any of these issues or notice your check engine light come on, bring your car to our Fairless Hills Mazda dealership. Our team can diagnose the issue and get your car repaired in no time.
