After purchasing a new car, you will follow a maintenance schedule that outlines which maintenance tasks your car will receive and when. However, you may need repairs in between these intervals. Here are three signs you need to book a Mazda service appointment.
1. Abnormal Driving Behaviors
You may notice some changes to your car’s performance while driving. Examples include cabin vibrations while accelerating or climbing up hills, or stalling while driving under normal conditions. Your car may also markedly decrease in power or fuel efficiency, or braking may seem more difficult.
These issues can indicate numerous service needs, such as requiring an engine air filter replacement or an oil change, and our technicians can properly identify and complete them.
2. Engine Ignition Issues
If your engine cuts off while driving or your car does not start immediately, book a service appointment as soon as possible. Even if your car eventually starts after multiple tries, this difficulty demonstrates that your car needs serious, immediate repairs. This is even more applicable if smoke is emitting from under the hood.
3. Strange Scents or Liquids
You may also notice new smells or leaks emitting from your vehicle. The color and location of the liquid can help technicians narrow down the source and the severity of the problem. If you notice any sulfuric, burning, or otherwise strange smells, schedule a service appointment before the affected components deteriorate further.
