Fall Maintenance in Bloomington, IN
If you enjoy taking scenic routes throughout Bloomington, then you’re undoubtedly looking forward to the fall season. To make the most of your autumnal travels, you’ll want to make sure that your MAZDA is functioning the best it can for the impending cold weather. Schedule a service appointment with Royal South Mazda so we can give your vehicle the care it deserves!
HVAC and Cabin Air Filter
With gorgeous leaves and mild breezes often come seasonal allergies, especially for sensitive groups. To reduce sniffling during your I-69 travels, you might want to check up on your vehicle’s cabin air filter. This device captures airborne debris and allergens, preventing them from circulating throughout the interior and aggravating you or your guests. It gradually becomes less effective over time, so be on the lookout for poor airflow or any musty odors coming from your vents. To ensure you and your passengers will stay warm despite chilly weather, pay attention to the functionality of the HVAC system. If the temperature controls aren’t working or if airflow is weak or absent, one or more components of your heating or cooling system may be in need of repairs.
Tires and Brakes
As you make summer trips to Lower Cascades Park, your tires will endure a great deal of wear due to hot roadways. Because of this, it’s always a good idea to get them rotated regularly. Our Service Department recommends you schedule rotations every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, but you can also check your Owner’s Manual for a timeline specific to your MAZDA CX-5, MAZDA CX-30, or MAZDA3. If you’ve been using the same tires for a while, it may be time for replacements. You can determine if this is necessary by inserting a penny into a tire’s groove and examining how deep the tread is. As you keep tabs on your tires, you should also be vigilant about your brakes’ performance. If you need to use excessive force to bring your vehicle to a stop or hear screeching when the brakes are engaged, it's likely time to schedule maintenance.
Cleaning and Emergency Kit
To reduce the risk of stubborn stains or chips, take advantage of the transition period between summer and fall to give your vehicle a good cleaning. Washing your MAZDA at home using car-safe soap and microfiber cloth is a great way to identify any scratches or chips. In the cabin, you can vacuum cloth seats and apply stain remover if needed. Additionally, you can use special cleaner and conditioner to ensure leather upholstery maintains its smooth and durable finish. After this, check the condition of your spare tire and make sure you have an air pump, car jack, and torque wrench stored in the vehicle. Include some durable gloves in your emergency kit to keep your hands warm in cold weather, and fill out the Ask a Tech form on our website to request more information about fall maintenance!

Service was the best I have had since having a car in the last 35 years.
“ Service was the best I have had since having a car in the last 35 years. I did not have an appointment and they got me in for service. Everyone from the Service writer to the service tech was professional and nice to work with. Price for my oil change and inspection was very competitive and worth the 5-star service I recieved. They also sent me a Video of the service so I could see what was completed...Just top tier in my book. I will continue to go there with my MX-5 until it's dying day. ”
Everyone is very nice, helpful, and understanding from a phone call all the way to leaving the lot.
“ Everyone is very nice, helpful, and understanding from a phone call all the way to leaving the lot. I brought car in for an inspection, I LOVED the explanation video that was sent to me of the inspection. Not only did it make me feel a little more a part of the process, it gave me an excellent run down of everything that needed done and an accessible means of sharing with those who understand cars better than I do. Thank you very much! ”
