“My wife and I were looking for a reliable second vehicle. Capitol One was running a promotion connected with Sport Mazda so we set up an appointment with Beth Alvarez to look at some used vehicles. After researching online we decided that the 2011 Chevy HHR was what we wanted. After a test drive we were sold. Beth was very informative and friendly and made the whole process very easy.

Insuring The Shine: Protecting Your Car’s Coat of Paint

Florida drivers can testify to that annoying time of the year on all major highways in the sunshine state where flying specks with a death wish fly into oncoming traffic. Love bug season is that time of year where Florida drivers find themselves scrapping the remnants of these paint dissolving pests off the front of their cars but these are just one of the many threats to your cars coat of paint that you may not be ready to combat. Dealerships like Don Mealey’s Sport Mazda in Orlando, FL offer ways to make sure your car’s paint is protected and insured so you will maintain a sharp looking vehicle for many years.

GlassCoat by Simoniz are one of the best ways Mazda owners are able to protect their car’s exterior from various hazards.

Not only does it help protect your car from things like acid rain, tree sap, bird waste, hard water, UV damage, decaying insects, and ice melting agents, it will cover the repair and replacement of paint if it gets damaged unlike manufacturer warranties.

Alternative Maintenance: Other Options For Service Plans

When purchasing a new vehicle it is important to bear in mind that eventually you will need maintenance performed on your vehicle and those are future costs that are out of your control in determining how much you will have to spend. Most dealerships offer multiple ways to pay for your service upfront to cover several routine maintenance appointments. On Monday, we talked about how Mazda has a solution for customers called the Mazda Total Advantage which is a customizable service plan that helps lock customers in at a low price. Today, we are going to look at a non-manufacturer service plan offered by Zurich.

With Zurich, you are able to choose your plan by service intervals (3,000 miles, 3,750 miles, 5,000 miles, 7,500 miles, and 10,000 miles) or an annual contract ranging from one to five years. This service contract covers tire rotations, chassis lubrication, engine oil and filter change, fluid check and change, routine inspections, and more. Not only does it cover your service visit, but it comes with emergency roadside assistance including towing service, flat tire changes, gas and fluid delivery, and more. Companies like Zurich offer a great alternative service plan when customers pass on the manufacturers plan.

GAP Coverage Closes The Gap Between Debt and Equity

The first time driving your brand new Mazda off the dealership lot will be one of the gentlest times you will drive your car, and who can blame you? You just took out a loan to finance your dream car, so you will be determined to get the best bang for your buck! If you unfortunately experience the dramatic event of a total loss of your car by either theft or damage beyond repair, depending on how far into your loan you are, you may be losing out on value after paying a deductible to your insurance. GAP coverage takes care of that.

If your insurance company rules that your car is a total loss, GAP coverage will take care of the remainder of your loan after your insurance makes their payment. Your deductible may even be included in the balance! Coverage applies to loans up to $50,000. GAP coverage offers many excellent benefits including: maintaining your good credit, covering negative equity, one-time low cost, and if auto insurance isn’t in effect for the vehicle, GAP is still provided!

For more information about GAP coverage, visit SportMazdaOrlando.com. Contact Don Mealey’s Sport Mazda in Orlando, FL to learn more about GAP coverage and many other finance, maintenance, and coverage questions.

Knowing Your Mazda's Condition In Simple Terms

Getting your vehicle serviced at a Mazda dealership allows Mazda owners to have peace of mind knowing that their Mazda will be receiving the Mazda Full Circle Service inspection. After a routine service visit at your local Mazda dealership, your Mazda Service Specialist will give you a copy of the Mazda Full Circle Service Report Card. This form will indicate the condition of key components on your Mazda including fluid levels, tire pressure, brake pad condition.

This easy to use form will offer technical condition reports by grading it green, yellow or red. Anything marked green is in working order and will not wear out or need attention before the next scheduled service interval. Items marked yellow are showing signs of wear and will need attention during the next service interval but are not expected to fail between then. Finally, items marked red are in need of repair or replacement immediately to continue safe operation.
