Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2011 Mazda 2 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check.

We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

  • When should I have Mazda 2 alignment checked? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Mazda 2 to high mileage oil? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your Mazda 2? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  •  Why are my Mazda dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Mazda 2 in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
