A fresh year deserves a strategic approach to vehicle care. Setting up a Mazda service schedule for the new year turns scattered appointments into purposeful planning, creating a proactive approach to vehicle care. Drive with confidence this year with these tips from Goodwin Mazda.
Understanding Your Key Service Intervals
Your owner’s manual outlines specific maintenance points, but most Mazda vehicles follow a similar service schedule. The first major service occurs at 7,500 miles with an oil change, tire rotation, and brake inspection. At 15,000 miles, technicians will also replace cabin air filters and conduct brake checks. The 30,000-mile milestone brings comprehensive attention, including spark plug inspection and cooling system evaluation that prevents issues before they emerge.
Create a Personalized Maintenance Calendar
Start by noting your current mileage and calculating when you’ll reach the next service interval. Building your Mazda service schedule around these milestones ensures nothing gets overlooked. Set digital reminders three weeks before each appointment, allowing flexibility to schedule around your routine. Include seasonal considerations, too—for example, winters demand battery checks and undercarriage inspections that protect against salt exposure.
Track Service History for Long-Term Value
Documentation of your certified service history is invaluable when maintaining warranty coverage or preparing to sell your vehicle. Keep records of every service visit, noting the date, mileage, and work completed. Many Mazda vehicles feature Mazda Connect™ systems that display maintenance reminders, but paper or digital logs provide backup verification.
