This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment.

Could your 1997 Mazda B4000 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your B4000 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mazda B4000 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your B4000 stranded. Your Mazda B4000 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
