A crack in your windshield may seem like a small issue, but even a tiny crack can create big problems in the future. Depending on the location of the crack, the size of the damage, and the time of the year, damage to your windshield can rapidly spread and make it unsafe to drive on the road. It's best to schedule service at your Mazda dealer as soon as possible to ask about windshield repair. more Technicians have a few ways of repairing windshields. Sometimes, small cracks and scratches on the glass can easily be repaired with a small kit. Other times, the damage is extensive enough to require total windshield replacement. Only an expert will be able to tell you the extent of your damage. The problem with chips and cracks in your windshield is how quickly these small spots of damage can spread. In cold weather, water can freeze into cracks and cause the cracks to expand. Water on a chipped windshield can also damage the protective layer on the glass and make the damage worse. Turbulence on the road can also make chips spread more quickly. What Should You Do Until Your Repair Appointment? Until your repair appointment, your goal should be to prevent the crack in your windshield from spreading any further. One of the easiest ways to temporarily seal a crack is to apply clear packing tape to the inside and outside of the windshield. The tape will act as a water seal and hold the crack together until you can get to a repair specialist. How Soon Should You Visit Your Mazda Dealer? If you have any damage to your Mazda, you should schedule a repair appointment as soon as possible. Your dealership is fully stocked with genuine parts to ensure a perfect repair every time. For example, after your windshield is repaired, you may need to replace your windshield wipers or top up windshield wiper fluid. Sometimes, if your windshield is damaged from a small impact, the hood or side of your car may have been dented, too. In this case, it's a good idea to schedule an appointment at your dealership's collision center. A Mazda collision repair center can remove dents, correct paint scratches, or even apply a glossy, protective coat over your Mazda for a perfect finish. A crack or chip in your windshield can make it hard to see the road clearly. To optimize your safety on the road, you should schedule a repair service for your windshield as soon as possible. It's also a good idea to visit your dealership to fix other small areas of damage if your windshield was cracked in an accident.

This pedal feels much more ergonomic than suspended pedals, as it allows your foot to move more naturally when you press on it. Easy Storage Throughout the cabin, you'll find lots of cubbies where you can store smaller items. This includes a deep tray in the car's center console.

Along with other upgrades for last year's models, Mazda is finally unveiling new hybrid options as the automaker gradually shifts away from combustion-only engine models. Learn more about what Mazda hybrids you can expect to find at your Mazda dealership next year. more As far as Mazda hybrid models go, Mazda has revealed the CX-90 as the main hybrid model of choice. This PHEV engine pairs nicely with all the features available on the base CX-90 model. You can anticipate seeing this eight-seat SUV model at your local dealership early next year. Powertrain The CX-90 will be equipped with a 2.5L e-SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder engine and a 68kW electric motor, which will generate 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with premium unleaded fuel. The towing capacity for this SUV is 3,500 lbs and the drivetrain is rear-biased with i-ACTIVE AWD. The electric-only range is 26 miles, while the hybrid driving range is 490 miles.

Standard exterior color options will include Deep Crystal Blue Mica, Jet Black Mica, and Platinum Quartz Metallic for the base model. Should You Pre-Order Your CX-90?

For many of us, a car is an extension of our personality, and personalizing it can make the experience of buying a car all the more rewarding. The Mazda brand is celebrated for its stylish designs and innovative technologies, and there's a myriad of customizations at your fingertips. Here's a guide on how to customize features with a Mazda dealership. more Do Your Research Your customization journey should begin online. Your dealer's website offers detailed insights into available models, features, and accessories. Dive deep into these resources, and perhaps visit Mazda forums to gauge what other enthusiasts are raving about. Armed with this knowledge, you can create a wish-list of your desired customizations. Look at Trim Levels and Packages Mazda has more than one trim level for its models, so take the time to really look at what's available. By understanding these levels, you might discover that a specific trim already has several of the features you're seeking, offering better value for money than adding those features one by one to a lower trim. Packages are important, too. They're built around the sorts of features many people want for that model, so they're always worth checking out. Start a Relationship With a Salesperson Your salesperson wants to make you happy, and they know Mazda and what's available. Establishing a clear line of communication from the outset ensures that they can guide you towards the best custom options available for your selected model. Being direct about your preferences will also allow them to potentially introduce you to features you hadn't considered, and they'll also be able to keep your budget in mind as you go along. Break Down the Financials Modifications will change the cost of your vehicle, so it's important to understand your budget and what each modification will cost. Some modifications can change your insurance rates – up or down – so ask your insurance provider about that. Experience Before You Commit The dealership should have a model equipped with the features you're contemplating, so you can take it for a test drive. This hands-on experience can help you decide if you're making the right choice. If you're mulling over a heads-up display, for instance, or thinking about a specific interior finish, firsthand experience can help you make the final decision. Be Patient Bear in mind that a uniquely tailored vehicle might require additional time to build and ship. If your chosen Mazda model with the desired features isn't in stock, the dealership might need to request it from the manufacturer. This can also help you make the final decision if you're already on the fence about whether a certain customization is necessary. Customizing your new Mazda lets you own a Mazda that's distinctively yours. When you're ready to check things out, come see us at Flood Mazda to get started. Image via Pixabay

It's time to start looking for another vehicle, but your budget asks you to consider a used one to save some cash. You can get an amazing family-friendly vehicle in a used Mazda CX-5. This top-rated small SUV is stylish, comfortable, and functional. Whether you're looking for a daily commuter, a vehicle for a new teen driver, or just another addition to your garage, look no further. Here are three tips when buying a used CX-5. more 1. Check Out the First Generation CX-5 The Mazda CX-5 is a relatively new addition to the automobile world. The first generation of the CX-5 was produced from 2013 to 2016 and offered spacious rear seating, easy access, excellent handling, and an impressive level of standard features. From the moment the CX-5 rolled onto the road, it proved itself as one of the best drives of any vehicle in the small SUV lineup. Powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic, the first generation CX-5 produces 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. In 2014, a 2.5-liter engine was introduced, upping the horsepower to 184 and offering 185 pound-feet of torque. The 2.5-liter only came paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. If you opted for all-wheel drive in any first-generation model, you also had to stick with the automatic transmission. 2. Consider a Second Generation CX-5 Mazda is currently producing the second generation of the CX-5, which started in 2017. While it may not seem like a lot changed with this second generation, the tweaks to the interior and exterior made a huge difference, making the CX-5 a standout in the small SUV lineup. Squinty headlights and a new front grille gave the second generation a distinctive, cutting-edge look. Interior upgrades made the CX-5 downright luxurious. The standard engine for the second generation is a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder that produces 187 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. A few months after the initial launch of the second-generation CX-5 in 2017, a second engine was added. That option is a 2.2-liter turbodiesel offering 147 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. In 2019, Mazda added a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that puts out 227 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Mazda abandoned the manual transmission in 2017, with a six-speed automatic standard on all second-generation models. 3. Know That the CX-5 Holds Value A used Mazda CX-5 still holds a lot of its original value because it's such a standout vehicle in its field. Depending on the condition, trim level, and mileage, you can expect to get a 2013 model between $7,695 to $16,995. A 2017 second-generation CX-5 costs between $14,989 and $26,999, while a 2019 can be available for $14,990 to $35,998. You can also expect to save money at the pump with a used CX-5 averaging 27 to 29 mpg combined. Overall, the CX-5 is an excellent value for a used vehicle. When you're ready to get into a used CX-5, contact your local Mazda dealer. A team member will be available to answer any questions and get you set up for a test drive. Image via Pixabay

Every single one of Mazda's 2023 model year vehicles that was tested by the IIHS earned its Top Safety Pick+ award. With so many standard and available safety features on each model, it's easy to see how Mazda vehicles did so well in the competition for the safest vehicles of the year. Here are just a few of those safety features that you can use to protect your family, yourself, and your Mazda while you explore the road. more 1. Pre-Collision Safety System New Mazda models feature technologies from the i-Activsense suite of safety features. One of the most impressive of these is the pre-collision safety system. Using forward-mounted radars and cameras, Mazda's pre-collision safety technology helps you recognize and react to potential forward collisions. The advanced smart city brake support with day and night-time pedestrian detection constantly looks ahead for vehicles and people in front of your Mazda. When it detects one, it will first alert you through visual cues and then audible cues. If you don't move to avoid the collision, this system applies your Mazda's brakes for you. 2. Blind Spot Monitoring Blind-spot monitoring systems are another great safety features Mazda models use to help boost your awareness of hidden vehicles around yours. This safety feature uses rear-mounted detection technology to scan your blind spots for lurking vehicles. When another vehicle is in your blind spot, a visual alert lets you know. If you engage your turn signal when another vehicle is in the way, the blind spot monitor issues audible warnings to bring your attention to the potential danger. This technology comes in handy when you're changing lanes on multi-lane roads and merging onto highways. 3. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert Reversing out of parking spaces can be a stressful situation, especially if you're doing so with low visibility. This system uses the same sensors as the blind-spot monitor to look for oncoming vehicles when you shift your Mazda into reverse. If it detects a vehicle approaching, the system lets the Mazda driver know through visual and audible warnings. Couple with the rearview camera view through the touch screen, you can keep a better eye on the world behind your Mazda. 4. Passive Safety Features Not only do Mazdas utilize some of the greatest and latest safety technologies, but they also make tried-and-true safety features more reliable than they've ever been. The SKYACTIV-designed body uses a ring structure to better protect it in the event of a collision. The SRS air bag system is strategically placed around the cabin to protect you when a collision seems unavoidable. Modern Mazdas utilize the best of the old and new safety features to give you a modern sense of security on the road. As we mentioned above, these are but a few of the safety features that you can look forward to when you shop for a Mazda vehicle. Whether you're a longtime Mazda driver or you're thinking of making the switch, this high level of safety is just of one the reasons to get behind the wheel of a new Mazda model. Image via Pixabay

If your Mazda is in need of repairs, you may be wondering whether to hit the local repair shop or visit an official dealership. However, auto repairs shouldn't be just about the cost. There are other important factors that should inform your decision. Let's look at the benefits of getting your Mazda fixed at a Mazda dealership. more 1. Genuine Mazda Parts When you take your Mazda to a dealership for repairs, you can expect your dealer to only use original OEM parts for the job. OEM parts are made by Mazda for your specific model. They are designed and tested following the same standards as the original components to ensure perfect compatibility with your car. Unlike the aftermarket parts that local repair shops use, OEM parts function in harmony with your vehicle's intricate systems. This ensures optimal performance and safety. Original parts are also available at your local dealership, so you don't have to go through the hustle of sourcing them. 2. Access to Expert Technicians Mazda vehicles are intricate machines with complex systems that should only be handled by a professional. Repair shops don't have specialized knowledge of Mazdas, especially the newer models with complex systems. The lack of expertise in the brand can lead to inaccurate diagnostics and poor-quality repairs. Official dealerships have certified, expert technicians who possess specialized knowledge of Mazda cars. They have worked on numerous cars like yours before, so they understand every nuance of your car. This specialized understanding translates into accurate diagnostics and quality repairs. 3. Advanced Diagnostic Equipment Modern Mazdas have advanced technologies that require high-tech diagnostic tools. Dealerships use advanced diagnostic tools tailored specifically for Mazda vehicles. These tools can pinpoint issues with precision, which eliminates guesswork and leads to faster and more accurate repairs. 4. Compliance With Your Mazda Warranty You should be careful not to void your Mazda warranty when getting repairs. If your vehicle suffers damage due to the use of third-party parts or accessories, your warranty will be voided. Getting repairs at your local dealership promotes compliance with your Mazda warranty. Dealers use OEM parts and employ strict guidelines to avoid jeopardizing your warranty coverage. What's more, OEM Mazda components come with a warranty. If the part fails after repairs, the warranty will cover the cost of replacing it. 5. Amenities and Excellent Customer Service The Mazda experience extends to every interaction you have with the official dealers. Think of the comfortable lounges to relax in as you wait to be served, the excellent customer service, and even the courtesy car you get as you wait for your vehicle to be repaired. These perks make the repair process pleasant and less disruptive to your schedule. Navigating the world of car repairs can be difficult, but with Mazda, the choice is clear. Official dealerships offer so many benefits that local repair shops can't match. If your Mazda needs repairs, visit us at Flood Mazda for expert services. Image via Pixabay
