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.

Drive Smart, Stop Safe: Brakes Designed With You In Mind

Wet icy roads or a last minute merge in front of you causes you to slam your foot on the brakes. Are your brakes going to stop you in time? Knowing the quality of your brake pads and shoes should be near the top of your list when it comes to the safety factor of your vehicle. Using aftermarket brakes may not be the best option for your vehicle as is the case with Mazda.

Genuine Mazda brake pads and shoes are designed with Mazda vehicles in mind ensuring that they are the highest quality brakes available for your Mazda. Aftermarket brakes carry a few varying risks, one of them being stopping distance.

Mazda Genuine brake pads are the benchmark at 100%. Aftermarket "B" takes 55%
longer distance to stop than Mazda Genuine pads at 60 MPH. Information based on an independent study performed for Mazda Motor Corporation in February 2004.
