As much as you’d probably love your Mazda to stay in perfect condition forever, parts will start wearing down. This is why regular inspections are a key part of Mazda service.
A multi-point inspection will examine many components of your car to make sure things are working as they should. This includes checking:
Fluids
Many systems in your car need fluid to operate, including the:
- Power steering
- Transmission
- Master cylinder
- Engine
- Brakes
- Heating/Cooling
- Windshield wipers
In addition to seeing if any of these fluids needs to be flushed and replaced with new stuff, they will also be topped off if necessary.
Battery
During the inspection, a technician will test your battery to gauge how much charge it has left. Other things will also be looked for, including corrosion on the terminals or cables, a swollen or leaking case, or loose battery posts.
Tires
Several things will be checked regarding your tires. Technicians will ensure that the pressure is at the right level. The tread depth will be examined to make sure they are deep enough.
Warning signs like uneven wear, cuts, and cupping will also be looked for. Your alignment can also be inspected to see if it needs to be tweaked.
Brakes
All components of your braking system will be looked at closely, including the pads, calipers, and rotors. If any of these are showing signs of wearing out, this will give you the opportunity to replace them.
