Cardinale Mazda Salinas Recommends Always Buying New Tires

By
Posted in Uncategorized

New Tires

Although it may be tempting to cut corners, when buying tires for your vehicle, Cardinale Mazda in Salinas strongly encourages you to always buy new tires.  Good tires are paramount to keeping your family safe while traveling in your vehicle.  Avoid secondhand or used tire stores at all cost, as they may not be a bargain after all.

–

Why You Shouldn’t Shop For Used Tires

Many used tire outfitters obtain their stock from larger chain tire retailers who are willing to part with older tires they’ve replaced with new tires for their customers. That’s because there is a fee to remove and safely dispose of rubber tires.  If those tires were being replaced, that should be a red flag right there.  For starters, the tread is likely to already be showing signs of wear and tear.  Even if the tire tread looks “good” on a tire right now, it simply won’t last as long as a brand new tire.  You also need to beware of dry rot.  These are tires that have been sitting in one spot for an extended period of time, exposed to extreme weather.  You can recognize a tire with dry rot by inspecting a tire closely.  If you notice tiny cracks on the sidewalls and the tread and the color of the tire rubber is grayish, that’s dry rot.  It’s extremely dangerous to drive on tires with dry rot because they can split and blow out at any given moment.

–

Why Age Of A Tire Matters

The typical consumer doesn’t realize that the age of a tire matters.  Not only the age of the four tires that are on your vehicle, but also the spare tire.  The older a tire is, the more the rubber compounds break down and deteriorate, making it dangerous for driving.  To determine the age of a tire, look at the tire identification number located on a tire.  The last four digits you see will indicate the week and year a tire was made. Any tire older than five years should definitely warrant a tire inspection.

Mazda Announces Ambitious Goal For Diesel-Powered 2018 Mazda CX-5

By
Posted in Uncategorized

2018 Mazda CX-5

At a time when other automakers are pulling back on their plans for diesel-powered vehicles, Mazda is surging ahead with their diesel engine for the 2018 Mazda CX-5.  According to Automotive News, Masahiro Moro, the President and CEO for Mazda North American Operations, Mazda’s intent is to sell diesel models of the 2018 Mazda CX-5 comprising 10% of all U.S. CX-5 sales.

 –

Diesel Engine Only Available In Grand Touring Trim

Initially, the diesel version of the 2018 Mazda CX-5 crossover SUV will only be available in the Grand Touring Trim.  Depending on how well sales are trending after the launch of the diesel-powered model of the CX-5, Mazda may elect to expand the diesel engine into other trims of the CX-5, as well as other models in its lineup.  It’s interesting to note that the diesel version of the Mazda CX-5 has already been made available in foreign markets with positive results.

–

Why A Diesel-Powered Mazda CX-5?

Mazda is likely hedging their bets on a diesel-powered Mazda CX-5 due to the popularity of the sporty crossover SUV.  Currently, it is the most popular selling Mazda vehicle.  The 2017 second generation has just been released and demand is high. The 2018 Mazda CX-5 will be outfitted with a 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine, currently undergoing emissions testing by the EPA.  Diesel is an alternative option for consumers who appreciate improved fuel economy.

  1. Tires. We’ll inspect your tires to make sure the treads aren’t uneven or balding.  You may just need a tire rotation or if your vehicle does need new tires, we have a great selection for you to choose from.

 

  1. Radiator Flush. If your vehicle hasn’t had a radiator flush recently, we highly recommend you consider getting it done in preparation for the Summer season.  We’ll make sure that your vehicle is equipped with fresh coolant to prevent your vehicle from overheating.

Cardinale Mazda Salinas Has A Tip For Saving Your Vehicle’s Fuel Pump

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Cardinale Mazda Salinas wants to help you keep your vehicle running smoothly.  Our Service department is here to service your vehicle and recommends following a regular maintenance schedule.  There are some things we can do to avoid costly automotive repairs.  Some of them are fairly simple to do.  Today’s tip from Cardinale Mazda Salinas is to avoid running your vehicle on empty – never let your gas tank fall below one-quarter full.

–

Why It’s Never A Good Idea To Let Your Vehicle Run On Empty

Probably all of us have experienced that moment while driving when the gas indicator light comes on, often accompanied by an audible warning.  This is our cue to begin looking for the nearest gas station to refuel.  However, the fact of the matter is that we shouldn’t even be running on empty in the first place.  Running on empty is a bad habit that can have negative consequences for your vehicle. For starters, it can wear out your fuel pump which means replacing it.  That’s because the emptier your tank is, the more air can enter the fuel pump and expose it to premature wear. It’s not just the fuel pump you need to worry about either.  The other consequence of allowing fuel to dip below the one-quarter mark is that the dirt that settles at the bottom of your vehicle’s tank is more likely to be transferred to the fuel line and through the engine. Dirty gas is never kind and it can wreak havoc on the fuel line and even your vehicle’s engine, necessitating repairs.  Save yourself money in the long run by not running on empty.

–

Why Run The Risk Of Running Out Of Gas And Being Stranded?

Another reason to keep your gas tank filled up is that extreme weather conditions can present potentially life-threatening situations. You don’t want to chance running out of gas in the hot desert or late at night in a bad part of town.  It can easily be avoided by ensuring that you have more than enough fuel to take you from Point A to Point B.  Be safe and don’t let the gas gauge fall below one-quarter of a tank.
