Jump-starting a car is a quick and easy way to give a weak battery enough juice to get back on the road. It's also not as difficult as it might look. Your Mazda has a battery warning light to warn you that your battery is in trouble, so you are unlikely to suffer a dead battery. As your Mazda dealer, we like to advise you on how to jump-start a car for a friend or family member who is in trouble. Advice From Your Mazda Dealer: 3 Steps To Jump-Start a Car Park Close When you jump start another car, you're transferring power from your battery to their battery. The further electricity has to travel through a cable, the more of it is lost through transmission. In addition, parking closer to the other vehicle prevents the jumper cables from being pulled taut and potentially slipping off the battery terminals. Most car batteries are under the hood, but some vehicles have the battery in the trunk. Before you position your car, check where the battery is in the other car. Once both vehicles are close to each other, open both hoods and switch off both engines. more Secure the Cables Jumper cables have a red cable and a black cable. The red cable is the positive, and the black cable is the negative. The cables must be connected in the correct order, as a mistaken connection can damage your battery or even start a fire. This is the correct order for attaching the cables. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Red First Jumper cables have spring-loaded clamps on both ends of each cable. The first step is to connect one end of the red cable to the positive terminal on the dead battery. Once this clamp is secure, connect the other clamp on the red cable to the positive terminal on your battery. Black Second Now the red cables are in place, connect one of the clamps on the black cable to the negative terminal on your battery. The final connection is very important. The second clamp on the black cable must not be connected to the negative terminal on the dead battery. This could cause the damage or potential fire mentioned above. The second clamp on the black cable must be connected to a piece of metal in the other car's engine; for example, an unpainted bolt. Idle Your Mazda Start your engine and allow it to idle for several minutes. Electricity will flow from your battery to the dead battery. Once this time has passed, try and start the car with the dead battery. If it doesn't start, idle your engine for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Once the other car is running, it is time to remove the cables. Now you know how to jump-start a dead battery. If you'd like to know more, contact us today at Mazda City of Orange Park.

Whether you're moving your son or daughter into a college dorm or towing recreation equipment for weekend fun, it helps to have a Mazda with hauling capacity. Fortunately, your Mazda dealer has a lineup of vehicles with great towing capacity. Which Vehicles at Your Mazda Dealer Have the Best Towing Capacity? CX-5 The Mazda CX-5, an SUV with a six-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive, offers a maximum hauling capacity of up to 2,000 pounds. That's enough capacity to tow a variety of smaller trailers and teardrop campers. You'll also find plenty of additional carrying capacity onboard. The CX-5, which seats five, has 30.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats up and 59.3 cubic feet when the seats are folded down. more CX-50 The CX-50, a slightly larger SUV, is another great option for drivers looking for hauling capacity. This compact, two-row SUV is capable of towing up to 2,000 pounds, but opting for the 2.5L turbocharged engine increases your hauling capacity to 3,500 pounds, which is enough to pull a pop-up camper, a pair of snowmobiles, or a utility trailer. In addition to its hauling capacity, this vehicle also has plenty of space for onboard cargo. When the rear seats are folded down, the CX-50 has a cargo capacity of 56.3 cubic feet. Installing roof racks opens up additional carrying capacity. CX-9 The family-oriented CX-9 is a mid-size SUV with three rows of seating and a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine. This vehicle can pull up to 3,500 pounds. The CX-9 can accommodate six passengers when equipped with second-row captain's seats, or seven passengers with second-row bench seating. This vehicle also offers a generous amount of cargo space. Just over 14 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats grows to 38.2 cubic feet when the third row of seating is folded down, and 71.2 cubic feet when both the second and third rows are down. CX-90 The CX-90 is a mid-size crossover vehicle that comes with three engine options, including a plug-in hybrid. The base combustion engine is a 3.3L inline six-cylinder turbo that offers 280 horsepower. On CX-90 Turbo S models, the inline six gets a boost that allows it to provide 319 horsepower. Hybrid versions of this vehicle can tow up to 3,500 pounds, while CX-90s with the inline six engine can pull up to 5,000 pounds, giving you plenty of versatility. The CX-90 also offers up to 75.2 cubic feet of cargo space when both the second and third rows of seating are folded down. The Mazda lineup includes four terrific options for drivers looking for hauling capacity. When you're in the market for your next Mazda, come see us at Mazda City of Orange Park.

When shopping for a new car at your Mazda dealership, there are two options: buy or lease. With buying, you secure financing from your dealer or another lender, and then the car is yours to keep during and after paying it off. Meanwhile, leasing is more like renting the car over a long period and giving it back when you're done. Let's take a look at the benefits of both. Should You Buy or Lease Your Next Car From Your Mazda Dealership? Benefits of Buying Lower Long-Term Costs Buying is more cost-effective in the long term. When you finance and buy your car, you'll eventually pay it off. Once you have your car paid off, it could potentially last you many more years. Then, when you're finished with it, you can sell it. more Upgrading Privileges Once you own your car, you can do whatever you want to it. You can alter it and upgrade it over time. If you can't afford the beefiest engine straight away, then you may be able to upgrade to a stronger one down the line. If you get tired of your car's color, then you can get a new paint job. There are very few limitations on what you can and can't do. No Mileage Fees When leasing, you're limited to driving a specific number of miles with that car. You may have to pay a fee for every additional mile you drive over the limit. You don't have that when you buy a car, so you can drive for 100,000 miles or more with no limits. Benefits of Leasing Cheaper Short-Term Monthly leasing payments are sometimes cheaper than car loan payments, making leasing better for tighter budgets. Some lease agreements also include free oil changes, which offers further cost advantages. Easy to Change If you get tired of your car, or you find that you don't like it, then you don't need to sell your car and finance a new one. You can just lease a different car once your current lease is up. That makes it simple to get a car in a different color, with a stronger engine, or with different features you desire. Sometimes leasing a car with these desirable features is more affordable than buying a very fancy car upfront, too. Always at the Top of Its Game When leasing a car, you're getting that car for the best years of its life. You can expect to drive a car that doesn't have too many miles on it and that won't give you a lot of age-related trouble. You'll very rarely have to deal with age-related issues with leasing. We offer car financing as well as leasing, so come to Mazda City of Orange Park for your next car. Our finance department can talk you through both options and further help you decide which one is best for you.

If you're about to purchase a new or used vehicle, you're going to need car insurance. Insurance is required by Florida and most other states, and it also covers you if you're involved in an accident. But what should you know about insuring a vehicle you've purchased from your Mazda dealer? 5 Things To Know About Car Insurance for a Vehicle Purchased From Your Mazda Dealer 1. Many Factors Affect Insurance Rates The amount you pay for insurance is determined by many factors, including your age, gender, zip code, and driving history. The make and model of the vehicle you're insuring also influences how much you'll pay. If you're concerned about insurance costs, you may want to check with your insurance agent while your car shopping and get an estimate of how much it will cost to cover the models you're test-driving. more 2. A Higher Deductible Lowers Your Premium Agreeing to an insurance policy with a higher deductible usually results in a lower premium. A higher deductible means that you'll pay a bigger portion of any damages you incur before your insurance coverage kicks in. Because you're sharing more of the risk by agreeing to pay a higher deductible, insurers will usually reward you with a lower premium. But you'll want to make sure the deductible is an amount you're able to pay in the event of an accident. 3. Discounts Can Bring Insurance Costs Down Insurance companies frequently offer discounts for things like the completion of a defensive driving course, car safety features like anti-theft devices, or electronic payments. Some of these discounts can result in considerable savings, so it's a good idea to explore the discount programs your insurer offers. 4. Letting Your Policy Lapse May Cost You in the Long Run Insurers sometimes view drivers who let their insurance lapse as risky. This puts you at risk of paying much higher premiums in the future. To avoid this, you'll want to stay on top of your insurance payments and policy renewals, so there is no lapse. And if you're planning to let a policy expire because you want to switch to a new insurer, line up new coverage first. 5. It Pays To Shop Around Even though most insurers consider the same criteria when determining your premium, companies weigh those pieces of information differently. So when you're shopping around for a policy, you may receive very different quotes from different insurers. It pays to shop around and get quotes from various insurance companies before deciding which one to go with. Having a basic understanding of insurance policies and how they're priced makes it easier to line up a policy for your next vehicle. When you're ready to purchase a new car or truck, head to Tom Bush Mazda of Jacksonville.

When you own a Mazda, you're not just driving a car. You're driving a piece of art! Mazda vehicles are known for their sleek designs and eye-catching appearance, and one of the features that contributes to their beauty is the paint job. To keep your Mazda looking its best and preserve the stunning finish of your car paint, you have to take proper care of it. Here are some tips from your Mazda dealer! Regularly Wash and Detail Your Car No matter what you do, dust, dirt, and grime will accumulate on your car's surface. Over time they can lead to small scratches or damage to the finish. By washing your Mazda regularly, you can remove these contaminants and prevent them from harming your car. Invest in a good quality car wash soap, microfiber mitts, and a soft brush to ensure a gentle but thorough clean. Don't forget to follow up with waxing and polishing. Wax provides an additional layer of protection by sealing the paint and creating a barrier against weather and the environment. It also adds a glossy shine that gives your cleaning the finishing touch. more Park in the Shade Harsh sun can take a toll on your car's paint. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause the paint to fade and lose its shine. Whenever possible, park your Mazda in the shade, whether it's under a carport, in a garage, or even under a tree. If shaded parking isn't an option, consider using a car cover. A good-quality cover can shield your vehicle from the sun's harmful rays and protect it from things like bird droppings and tree sap. Use Paint Protection Film For extra protection, you might want to consider applying paint protection film. This nearly invisible film is applied to the car's painted surfaces and acts as a shield against rocks, debris, and minor scratches. If you're determined to keep your paint job looking new, it can be an excellent investment, especially if you often drive on highways or roads with loose gravel. Touch Up Your Car Paint at Your Mazda Dealer Regular maintenance is the best way to keep your car in top shape, and that includes the paint! Periodic inspections and touch-ups can correct minor paint issues before they become major problems. If you notice your car has any chips or scratches, be sure to fix them quickly to prevent it from peeling or rust from developing. Taking care of your Mazda's paint is not only about keeping it looking beautiful but also about maintaining its long-term value. By following these simple tips, you can keep your Mazda looking new for years to come. Schedule a service appointment at Mazda City of Orange Park and see how we can help you!
