MAZDA Service 101: Are My Tires Still Good?
All parts of your car require maintenance and proper care, but a few components are more important than your tires. They offer the traction you need to stay safe behind the wheel, whether you’re dealing with inclement weather or dusty, off-road conditions. That’s why our Mazda service center wants drivers to know when they might be in need of new tires.
If you notice the following issues, it’s time to schedule a service appointment at Hubler Mazda.
Shallow Tread Depth
The tread on your tires allows them to deliver the traction you need to stay safe on the road. This tread wears down over time, and if the tread gets too shallow a tire is no longer able to do its important job.
If your tires have been around a while, it’s smart to occasionally check up on them and evaluate the depth of their tread. Don’t worry, you don’t need any expensive or advanced tools. All you need is a penny.
Take that penny and place it upside-down in the tread of your tire. Take a close look and you should see that at least part of Abraham Lincoln’s head is covered up. If you can see Honest Abe’s entire head, you have a problem. The tread on that tire is far too shallow and it’s time for some replacements.
Uneven Wear and Tear
You should also keep an eye out for uneven wear and tear. Your tires should all be wearing down at roughly the same rate, and wear should be even across the surface of each tire. If you notice that one or more tires seem more worn than the others, or that a tire is wearing down in an uneven way, you’ll want to talk to our mechanics.
If you’re in need of new tires or any other Mazda parts, make our Mazda service center in Greenwood, IN your first stop. We’ll help you keep your car running smoothly for years to come!
Getting locked out of your car can be a major pain, but with a bit of preparation and a clear head you can deal with this problem and quickly get on your way. Here’s what the Mazda service experts here at Hubler Mazda have to say about this sticky situation.
Some Preparation Can Help
No one plans to lock themselves out of their new Mazda vehicle, but maybe you should. First, make sure you have a spare key for your vehicle. If you don’t have one, talk to the dealer who sold you the car. They should be able to get you a spare.
Then keep that spare in a safe place. Know exactly where it is in your house or apartment, and make sure that it’s not misplaced. Keep it with your partner, a roommate, or someone else who can be relied on. This can help you reduce your odds of getting locked out for an extended period of time.
What to Do When You Get Locked Out
First of all, don’t panic. If you have that spare, having someone bring it to you is going to be the easiest way out of this situation. If you don’t have a spare, things might get a bit tricky.
If you’re enrolled in a roadside assistance program, giving your provider a call should be your first move if you don’t have a spare key. Many of these programs offer help with lock outs. Some cars also come equipped with systems that allow for remote unlocking, so use these options if you have them.
If you don’t have access to such programs, your next best options may be your dealer or a tow truck. A dealer might be able to get your an extra key that just unlocks your doors, and a tow truck can often help with lock outs.
What Are my Options for the End of my MAZDA Lease
If the end of your MAZDA lease is approaching, you may be wondering about your next steps. What lease-end options do you have? At Hubler Mazda, you have a few of them, and we can help you figure out which works best for you.
Extending Your Lease
Extending your lease for a few months is sometimes an option. If you have your eye on a new car that’s not out yet or there’s some other reason that you want to wait a short amount of time before committing to something else, we can usually help you with this.
Leasing a New Vehicle
Leasing is often the choice of drivers who love upgrading to a new car every few years. You can keep experiencing the latest that the Mazda brand has to offer without worrying about trade-ins or selling a vehicle. So, turn in your leased car and lease a brand new 2022 Mazda model with all the newest tech and updates!
Buy Your Vehicle
You can also decide to buy your vehicle if you’ve really liked leasing it all these years. We’ll calculate how much you owe, and you can make your leased vehicle truly yours, with no more worries about mileage limitations or any of the other common lease restrictions!
Turn in Your Vehicle
You can also simply turn in your vehicle and not take advantage of any other lease-end option. Maybe you just don’t need a car for daily driving anymore or you’ve inherited a vehicle from someone else. Whatever your reasons are, you can just turn in your car and be done with your lease agreement.

How to Preserve the Life of Used MAZDA Cars
If you just bought a used MAZDA car here at Hubler Mazda, you probably want to make sure that it will last as long as possible. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps that you can take to preserve the life of your Mazda vehicle and keep it on the road for years and years to come.
Focus on Routine Maintenance
Neglecting routine maintenance and service is one of the worst things that you could do to a used vehicle, or any car for that matter. Routine maintenance tasks like oil changes, wheel alignments, and tire rotations all keep your car running smoothly and can help prevent more expensive and serious mechanical issues down the line.
The Hubler Mazda service center is here, ready to help you with all of your maintenance needs! So feel free to make an appointment through our website whenever you have the need.
Don’t Ignore Lights or Alerts
If you notice a light blinking on the instrument cluster, take it seriously. Check your owner’s manual to see what a warning light means and schedule an appointment with our mechanics as soon as you can. If you keep driving around with some kind of mechanical problem, you could end up drastically shortening the life of your vehicle.
Drive Safely
Safe driving habits can also help extend the life of your used Mazda car. It’s not just that safe driving can help you avoid an accident that could total or damage your vehicle, although that is a nice bonus. Safe driving habits also put less stress on your vehicle. Aggressive or unsafe driving habits, like speeding and stopping short, can easily wear down parts and cause mechanical issues.
So, if you’re looking for a used car and a service center that you can rely on, visit our Mazda dealership near Indianapolis. We’ll help you find a pre-owned vehicle that has many more miles left to travel!

MAZDA CX-5 Safety Features
Hubler Mazda knows that when you’re looking for a crossover SUV, you have so many different factors to consider. For your family’s sake, questions around safety might be the most crucial ones to ask. Today we’ll look at the safety features on the Mazda CX-5.
Features of the MAZDA CX-5
The Mazda CX-5 is a head-turning SUV with a sleek and sporty design. Drawing from the “Kodo” philosophy, the Mazda CX-5’s flowing single lines imply dynamic movement through the “soul of motion” approach.
The Mazda CX-5’s Mazda Connect™ infotainment system via the big 10.5-inch touchscreen allows you to safely interface with your digital devices. You can remotely start the engine, lock and unlock the doors, and access your vehicle’s health status, all from your smartphone.
Dynamic Safety Systems
Boasting i-Activsense® Safety Technology, the powerful safety features on the Mazda CX-5 are constantly evolving to better serve and protect you and your passengers.
Blind Spot Monitoring detects vehicles moving into you blind spots on either side, alerting you with a chime, a warning light on your side mirror, and a notification will appear on your driver display.
Rear Cross Traffic, Lane Assists, & Smart Braking
Rear Cross Traffic alerting lets you know if a vehicle is coming at you from the side and will provide a visual and audible warning. The dynamic Lane Departure system ping you if you’re about to drift out of your lane. Lane-Keep Assist will gently correct your steering to put you back on the right track.
The standard smart braking systems include technology which works at high or low speeds, with an available system that works while you’re reversing. If it senses a collision, it will alert you and brake accordingly.

MAZDA CX-5 Vs. Acura MDX
There are plenty of choices when you’re considering a crossover SUV, and Hubler Mazda has you covered. Let’s take a look at two standouts in a crowded field: the Mazda CX-5 and the Acura MDX.
Exterior Style: Soul of Motion
The first and most noticeable difference between the Mazda CX-5 and the Acura MDX is their design. Sleek, sporty and stylish, the Mazda CX-5 is a head-turning SUV with a design that draws from Mazda’s “Kodo” philosophy: the “soul of motion” approach uses single, flowing lines to imply dynamic movement.
The Acura MDX is attractive (if boxy), but not a standout like the Mazda CX-5. You’ll also find more legroom and flexible cargo options in the Mazda CX-5.
Smart Driving Tech
While both the Mazda CX-5 and the Acura MDX offer the kind of driver technology you’ve come to expect from a modern SUV, only the Mazda CX-5 comes with the Mazda Connect™ infotainment system with a big 10.5-inch touchscreen.
Mazda’s Connected Services let you remotely start the engine, lock and unlock the doors, and access your vehicle’s health status, all from your smartphone. These features do not come standard with the Acura MDX.
Pricing: A Clear Choice
By now, you should be asking: what do these SUVs cost? Here is where the Mazda CX-5 pulls way ahead of the Acura MDX. The starting price of the 2021 Mazda CX-5 Sport trim starts at $25,370. The top-tier Signature trim starts at $37,505. This comes in far below the starting price of the Acura MDX, which is $47,200.
When you start to add in options and features, the more modestly-priced Mazda CX-5 trims are clearly where you get the more bang for your bucks.

Tech Spotlight: 2021 MAZDA CX-3
The 2021 Mazda CX-3 is a subcompact SUV perfect for drivers who love the responsive and fun driving experience of a car. Equipped with the latest driving and safety technology, this is one SUV you should check out. Read on to learn more about the tech features of the Mazda CX-3.
i-Activ® AWD
With sensors continuously monitoring driver input, road conditions, and the state of the vehicle, i-Activ® makes adjustments that result in better performance and a more responsive driving experience. If the system detects a chance of slippage, it will automatically adjust the amount of torque sent to your wheels to compensate.
i-Activsense®
The 2021 Mazda CX-3 is equipped with the latest suite of safety technologies known collectively as i-Activsense®. Some safety features include the following:
Blindspot Monitoring System
Radar sensors in the rear of your SUV monitor the adjacent lanes behind your vehicle, a common blind spot for most drivers. An icon will pop up in the appropriate side mirror, warning you whenever a vehicle is approaching you from behind. If you activate your turn signal to change lanes with a vehicle in your blind spot, an alert will be sent via your side mirror and through a series of beeps to warn you.
Lane Departure Warning System and Lane Keep Assist
The Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) and Lane Keep Assist (LAS) use a camera mounted on the windshield of your SUV to keep track of lane markings on the road. If you unintentionally stray into an adjacent lane, the LDWS will alert you and sound an alarm. The LAS then kicks in by providing steering assistance as you maneuver your vehicle back into your original lane.

Can I End My MAZDA CX-9 Lease Early?
When you secure a Mazda CX-9 lease at Hubler Mazda, you agree to drive a vehicle for a predetermined period of time. However, we understand that life happens, and some drivers may decide that their leases no longer work for them.
No matter what, we’re willing to work with you, and today, we’re outlining the options you have if you decide to end your lease early.
Ending Your Lease Early
Typically, a lease for a Mazda CX-9 lasts two to three years, although that timeframe can vary. Keep in mind that these are parameters that a dealership has in place for a purpose. If you decide to turn your vehicle in early, some dealerships may not be able to turn around and lease the vehicle again, since it is no longer new.
Typically, you can not return a lease early without having to pay the remainder of your payments and additional fees.
Your Early Termination Options
If you truly need to opt-out of your lease, you still have options at our dealership. You can:
- Trade in your lease for a more affordable one and, if necessary, add the additional fees and costs to your new lease
- Buy your vehicle, which may be more affordable than paying off your early termination fees.
- Transfer the remainder of your lease to another potential lessee
It’s incredibly important to consider your reasons for ending your Mazda CX-9 lease early so you can determine the best financial decision for you. Our Mazda lease experts at our Mazda dealership in Greenwood, IN are happy to help you figure out the best course of action. Reach out to our team today!
