Prepare my Mazda for the ultimate summer road trip 

Road trips take many forms, from a CX-9 full of family and friends driving across the country to just you and your MX-5 Miata making a top-down blast to a faraway beach or curvy country road. The right vehicle, like your Mazda, will make any trip that much better. When you are in the market for a new Mazda vehicle, our Pfaff Mazda dealership is the place where you need to be!

To make a plan or to not make a plan?

Everyone has different approaches about how to plan a summer adventure, but without wishing to inhibit spontaneity, we suggest some research. There’s nothing at all wrong with just following any road you choose on a moment’s notice, but the benefit of planning will help make sure you don’t miss something wonderful. Some people are “map and guidebook” types, who plan every minute and turn of their trip down to the last detail, but even if you arm yourself with every map and guidebook ever printed, we can’t understate the value of a good navigation tool, including your Mazda Connect system.

Pre-road trip maintenance 

Nothing ruins a road trip more quickly than unanticipated breakdowns, most of which can be avoided with some planning and advance care. Pre-trip inspections and vehicle preparation will reduce stress and help avoid wasting time and money while on the road. Pfaff Mazda is ready to assist you with a pre-travel service plan to get you on the road with confidence, no matter if it’s an engine oil and filter change, full fluids check and service, tire rotation, or inflation check. Even though your vehicle will certainly earn its share of dirt, water spots, and bug splatter as the kilometers roll by, we suggest a thorough washing and detailing before you hit the road. It’ll look that much better in all those road photos and selfies.

Some great Mazda accessories to consider for your road trip 

You don’t want your car looking like everyone else’s on your road trip. Accessories offer various levels of customization or personalization that are bound to make your Mazda stand out. Genuine Mazda Accessories are convenient and readily available at Pfaff Mazda. The following list includes some popular Mazda accessories for road trips: 

Mazda mobile start:

Why suffer through waiting for a warm vehicle to cool off in the summer heat? Just open the Mazda Mobile Start app on your smartphone and turn your vehicle ahead of time. The vehicle will cool off (or warm up in the winter) ahead of your arrival. 

Mazda roadside assistance kit:

You’re busy planning for your trip, we get it. Instead of curating your own roadside assistance kit, Mazda has created one for you. This kit includes a folding reflective triangle, flashlight with batteries, dial tire pressure gauge, emergency blanket, rain poncho, cotton gloves, shop towel, and a multi-function tool. Often one of the most overlooked items for a road trip, it’s one of the most important.

Mazda windshield sunscreens:

For the most part, one-size-fits-all things don’t really fit all things. Everyone who has tried to set up a generic Windshield Sunscreen knows exactly how difficult it is to keep one up. Mazda creates sunscreens that are designers specifically for your vehicle. Keep your car cooler, easier.

Mazda roof rack:

Did you know Mazda creates brackets and carries for your favorite gear? Whether it be a bike, surfboard, skis, or a snowboard, genuine Mazda accessories keep your gear safely and securely fastened to the roof of your vehicle.
