Dealers employ factory-trained technicians who receive ongoing training as new car models are released. Because of this, there are certain engine problems you should always have repaired at the Mazda dealer, as the dealership’s technicians have more expertise when it comes to your specific model’s engine.

5 Engine Problems You Should Always Fix At Your Mazda Dealer

1. The Check Engine Light Is On

The check engine light can come on for a variety of reasons, and the problem isn’t always obvious. You’ll need to head to a dealer, as dealers have the most up-to-date diagnostic equipment for your model. The technicians at the dealership can easily figure out what’s wrong with the engine and perform a repair as needed.

2. The Car Is Having Trouble Accelerating

There are many different engine issues that can cause sluggish acceleration. It could be an issue with the battery, spark plugs, or alternator, or it could be an issue with a totally different part of the vehicle, such as the fuel filter. You need a mechanic who knows Mazda vehicles inside and out and who has all the tools to diagnose what the problem is. Going to the dealer is always the best choice if your engine can’t perform as powerfully as it used to.

3. The Car Is Using More Fuel Than Usual

If you’re stopping for gas a lot more frequently than you used to, then there’s definitely something wrong. There could be a leak in the fuel tank, or there could be something wrong with the way your vehicle is running, leading it to guzzle gas like there’s no tomorrow. Whatever the problem is, you can rest assured that your dealer will be able to diagnose and fix it efficiently.

4. The Engine Is Surging

Your engine’s RPMs should never start to increase and decrease at a rapid pace. Any unexpected change in the way your engine behaves tells you there’s some kind of problem. When the engine starts surging, there’s usually a problem with the emissions system, though it could also be a vacuum leak. No matter what the problem is, this surging can cause serious damage to vital parts of your engine, so you’ll need to visit a dealer ASAP.

5. The Car Is Misfiring

Your car misfiring tells you there may be an issue with the fuel injection system. Alternatively, you might need new coils and spark plugs if the misfiring isn’t accompanied by any other car problems. You need expert hands on the car if you have a fuel injection system issue. You’ll want to go to the dealer if you need new spark plugs and coils, too. Dealerships always use OEM parts when replacing components, and that’s what’s best for your vehicle.
