Cardinale Mazda Salinas Recommends Following Your Vehicle’s Maintenance Plan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

The first thing you should do after your drive home in your new vehicle, is to dig out the Owner’s Manual.  Cardinale Mazda Salinas suggests that you take time to read your Owner’s Manual to get familiar with your vehicle.  More importantly, Cardinale Mazda in Salinas recommends you follow your vehicle’s maintenance schedule set forth in the Owner’s Manual.

–

Why You Should Follow Your Vehicle’s Maintenance Plan

The most obvious reason for following your vehicle’s maintenance schedule is to keep your car in top running condition.  Your Owner’s Manual has prescribed a maintenance plan specifically for your vehicle.  Use this guide to make service appointments with your dealership when it’s time for a checkup.  Typically, it includes common checkups like changing the oil filter and rotating tires, along with the occasional tune-up such as a radiator flush or transmission flush.  It’s a good idea to post a copy of this maintenance schedule where you can regularly glance at it.  Not following your vehicle’s maintenance schedule can possibly lead to your vehicle malfunctioning and may even void your vehicle warranty.

–

Mazda Celebrates 50 Years Since The Groundbreaking Rotary Engine

By
Posted in Uncategorized

According to Inside Mazda, it was 50 years ago that the Mazda legacy began, with the most challenging project ever put to the engineering think tank.  Then known as Toyo Kogyo Corporation, the company partnered with German companies NSU Motorenwerke AG and Wankel GmbH to develop a rotary engine.  Cardinale Mazda Salinas offers a hearty congratulations to the Mazda Corporation!

–

Mazda Assembled The Best Minds To Perfect Rotary Technology

No one ever said it was going to be easy.  From the start, the prototype rotary engine failed.  Mazda responded by assembling a team of its best engineers to bring the rotary engine to fruition.  They were well aware that other competitors were also racing to be the first to introduce rotary technology.  It was a gamble that Mazda was willing to take and the rest, as they say, is history.

–

Mazda Cosmo Sport 110S First To Debut With Rotary Engine

Fifty years ago, the first Mazda sports car to debut and go on sale in Japan was the Mazda Cosmo Sport 110S and it featured a rotary engine.  The development of the rotary engine was the start of Mazda’s sports car legacy that endures to the present day.

Cardinale Mazda Salinas Shares Tips For Keeping Your Vehicle Shiny

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Vehicle detailing

We all lead busy lives, and sometimes it’s hard to squeeze in automotive care into our schedules.  However, Cardinale Mazda in Salinas urges car owners to make it a priority to keep their vehicles looking shiny. Take a look and compare a shiny vehicle next to a dull-looking vehicle.  If you were a prospective buyer, which would you choose?  Visit us at Cardinale Mazda Salinas, located in the Salinas Auto Mall, and take a look at our great selection of the latest Mazda models or our #CertifiedPreownedMazdas.  Gain an appreciation for shiny!

–

Wax Your Vehicle At Least Quarterly

You should wax your car at least quarterly.  Even three times a year is better than once or only occasionally.  The exception to the rule is if your vehicle has been treated with synthetic wax, which can typically last for up to a year.

–

Why You Should Wax Your Vehicle

For starters, if you live in an area where there are extreme weather conditions such as hot sun, desert sand, ice or snow, know that your car’s exterior is taking a beating.  The paint job alone cannot withstand the daily onslaught of harsh conditions.  A coating of wax can go a long ways toward protecting your vehicle’s paint job and making it look like new.

–

The Best Way To Wax Your Vehicle

Always start with a clean vehicle.  Make sure that all the dirt and grime is removed.  Run a dry, soft cloth over your newly washed car and check for any rough spots.  If you find any residue, remove it before applying wax.  There are a variety of waxes available, and the best way to see if the wax you choose will get the job done is to test a small area on your vehicle.  Apply the wax, wait the prescribed time and then buff the test area.  If it looks shiny, then proceed with waxing the rest of your vehicle.  When buffing your wax job, always have plenty of clean, soft cloths available.  Be careful not to apply the wax too thickly, and also avoid waxing your vehicle in direct sunlight.

Cardinale Mazda in Salinas has a dealership lot full of shiny vehicles.  If you’re in the market for the latest Mazda model or Mazda used car, we’ve got a great selection for you to choose from.  See our user-friendly website at www.CardinaleMazda.com for a complete listing of our inventory.  You might be surprised to discover that your next vehicle is only a click away!
