Preparing for Autumn in Your Mazda with Our Service Center
The temperatures around mid-Michigan will soon get colder as we get deeper into autumn and slowly approach winter. If you haven’t had your Mazda serviced to prepare for the colder temperatures, let the Service Center at Thelen Mazda in Bay City, MI, help you out. We will be happy to help get your family cruiser ready for the changing conditions that the changing months bring. If you are curious about any of the services we suggest doing during this time of the year, contact our Service Center at 877-492-5486 to speak with one of our technicians.
Services That Are Suggested for Autumn in Michigan
- Air Filter Replacement – Keeping your cabin free of airborne irritants such as dust and allergens is important for the best enjoyment of the season. A clogged cabin air filter will make it more difficult for your Mazda’s climate control system to adjust, along with reducing the overall air quality inside the vehicle. Similarly, a dirty engine air filter forces your vehicle to work harder to maintain performance as clean air isn’t flowing through the engine as readily. Therefore, we advise having these changed out as soon as possible to keep your vehicle at peak efficiency when it comes to performance and maintaining a positive experience inside the cabin.
- Battery Check / Replacement – Colder weather can be difficult for your battery, especially if it’s older and showing some signs of damage or age. Our team will be happy to do a test of your battery to determine if it will perform well in the colder temperatures. If you need a replacement battery, we will provide a suitable option that works best for your Mazda.
- Tires – This is a broad category that details several options. Ranging from tire rotation and balancing to helping you find a set of winter tires when the season approaches, we want you to be confident with the tires you are driving on. A tire rotation and balance will increase longevity and ride smoothness, while having a set of winter tires ready for snowy driving conditions later this year is advised for peak safety and handling.
