Few things will age a car like rust. Not only does it make your car look like it belongs in the junkyard, but enough rust in the wrong areas can make parts fail and compromise your cabin. We offer Tumminia Mazda service that can help keep your car looking and performing well, and we’re also offering these tips to help prevent your ride from rusting.
Tumminia MAZDA Service to Help Prevent Rust
We all know that maintenance, like oil changes, matters for keeping your new Mazda car running well. However, inspections also matter. We know where to look and what to watch out for so that a minor issue — like a rust spot — doesn’t become a significant problem.
Remember, your Mazda car or SUV comes with a Mazda Corrosion Warranty that covers your vehicle for five years — with unlimited mileage — from its initial in-service date, so in the rare event that we discover rust during that time, the repairs are covered. Outside the warranty period, those repairs still matter because rust can cause severe damage to the body, frame, suspension, and other components, eventually rendering the vehicle unsafe.
Rust Prevention Tips for Car Owners
One of the most important things you can do to prevent rust is also one of the easiest: keep your car clean. Regular cleanings and wax applications keep your vehicle looking great, but more importantly, they remove contaminants that could damage the finish and, eventually, the underlying metal. This is especially important in the Northeast, given winter conditions and regular road salting.
