Fall Maintenance Tips & Service

Fall Maintenance Tips From Russ Darrow Mazda of Madison

Fall maintenance is about vehicle readiness and reliability as seasons change, the weather gets cooler, and vital components losing integrity. Keeping a Mazda at its best in colder weather demands that its critical components are at their best. The ideal way to prepare your Mazda for fall is with fall maintenance that targets essential parts for inspection and replacement as needed when found to have lost integrity. We recommend beginning fall preparation maintenance with a multi-point inspection by a certified technician that knows Mazda models professionally.

Essential Components and Seasonal Weather Change

Our Mazda certified technicians understand that many essential automotive components are susceptible to extreme temperatures with significant temperature change between seasons and live a relatively short service life due to their job, design, and susceptibility. These are components like tires, batteries, filters, and windshield wiper blades to name a few.

Benefits of Fall Preparation Maintenance

We encourage Mazda drivers to get a fall preparation multi-point inspection due to the benefits of the service in light of the risks of not doing it. Here are the proven benefits of fall preparation maintenance:

• Improved reliability in sub-zero temperatures
• Improved traction in adverse or slippery conditions
• Reliable engine starting in cold weather
• Reliable heating and defrosting
• Peak visibility and safety
