Whether you own one of our new Mazda vehicles or one of our pre-owned cars or SUVs, Champion Mazda is the Mazda dealership serving Evansville, IN that you can count on to find a vehicle you’re sure to love and the service and care that will keep it running right for years to come.
There are lots of great services and checks designed to maintain your Mazda3 properly, but one of the most important on the list is brake care and service. While it’s a good idea to get your brakes checked regularly, there are signs and symptoms to look out for that will indicate your Mazda3’s brakes need immediate attention.
To start, keep an eye on your brake light. It can be frustrating when the dashboard lights up, but these indicators help you and your maintenance team address vehicle issues as soon as they arise. But that’s not all. If you notice that your Mazda3 makes a squeaking, grinding, or squealing noise, that’s an indication that your brake pads have worn down and you’re now hearing the metal of the rotors grinding, which can lead to damage when not addressed right away.
You’ll also want to pay attention to how the vehicle feels when you brake. Don’t ignore any signs of wobbling, vibrating, or scraping, pay close attention if your vehicle veers to one side while braking, and make a note if you bounce up and down when you come to a quick stop. Notice a burning smell? Pull over right away and allow your brakes to cool down, then bring your Mazda3 in for an inspection and any necessary repairs.
From brake fluid to brake pads, routine inspections to major repairs, our expert team of technicians here at Champion Mazda has you covered. Visit us in Owensboro today.
