Gullo Mazda Blog: News & Information

Convertible roadsters are fun to drive. Putting the top down and feeling the air run through your hair is a feeling unlike any other. That is why we here at Gullo Mazda are so excited for the new 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata. Its Skyactive technology affords an incredibly fuel efficient engine. It achieves up to 35 miles per gallon thanks to the incredible engineering and technology. This means less time spent filling up at the pump and more money left in your pocket at the end of every month. 

All 2018 model year Mazda CX-5 vehicles come with fresh design features that completely alter the driving experience. They're so well integrated into the vehicle that you might not even notice that they've been installed. This was exactly what Mazda's engineering teams intended.

If you ever get the opportunity to drive a CX-5 equipped with the new i-ACTIV AWD module, then you might not even realize that an onboard computer is applying all-wheel drive traction at various times when the road gets slippery. 

In a tech-driven world, Conroe drivers want a car that can keep up. The Mazda6, a popular midsize sedan, has all the technology you need when you're on the road.

With the Mazda6, you can stay connected while on the road. To ensure safety, these sedans come with the MAZDA CONNECT infotainment display. The touch screen is more accessible than ever, thanks to improved contrast and minimal reflections. In the Mazda6, it's placed on the dashboard for easy viewing. With this interface, drivers can call friends, access entertainment, and more. 

Getting the most from your tires requires attention inside and out. Proper inflation and tread are the two keys to tire performance. Rotating tires regularly will help tires wear evenly, and the tire replacement and repair team at Gullo Mazda of Conroe can help.

Inflation can affect both performance and tread. Too much air (over inflation) will cause the tires to bulge and ride on the center of the tread, limiting contact with the road. Too little air (under inflation) puts more pressure on the outside edges of the tire and can add friction that makes your car less efficient…

Four-wheel drive vehicles can furnish drivers like you with stability and power in tough weather and road conditions. Some kinds of 4WD trucks and SUVs have the ability to engage 2-wheel drive service at will. Such cars and trucks often include parts known as transfer cases.

Transfer cases are special gearboxes that attach to regular transmissions or their casings. Transfer cases can use energy from the main transmissions to engage 4-wheel or 2-wheel drive service whenever necessary. 

As a car owner, you may have at one point in time found yourself with a car battery that has lost its charge. Below are the steps on how to charge a car battery using jumper cables:

• You will need another car to with a charged car battery to park in front of your car.
• Make sure both cars are turned off and connect the red (positive +) cable to the battery that needs to be charged and the red (positive +) cable to the charged battery.
• Connect the black (negative -) cable to the charged battery and the black (negative -) cable to…

Are you interested in breathing only the cleanest air that the area that you live in can afford you? Most people are, but not everyone is aware that the cleanliness of the air in the cabin of your vehicle is dependent on how well their exhaust system is functioning. An exhaust system that has a leak is potentially sending dangerous fumes into the cabin of your vehicle. These fumes are so toxic that they could even be fatal if you breathe too much.

There are a couple of signs that your vehicle is having exhaust system problems. 

Knowing the basics of what your vehicle and its parts require can be of great benefit to you. The series of letters and numbers on the side of the tire looks daunting at first. With a little explanation, you will soon be very comfortable with the abbreviations.

The series often begins with a letter, such as "P," which represents passenger car. From there, you’ll see a three-digit number, perhaps 225. That tells you the tire’s width in millimeters. That’s followed by a slash and then a two-digit number. 

Motorists who are not keeping their fuel tank filled with gas this winter are running the risk of their vehicle breaking down. As your fuel level gets lower, there is an increased chance that the fuel system will introduce sediment that has accumulated in the bottom of the tank into the fuel system. This can lead to the fuel filter and fuel injectors becoming clogged.

Restricted fuel filters and injectors could prevent the vehicle from operating correctly or even at all. 

Trying to fit getting your vehicle in for an oil change when you have a busy life can be a pain. You may have work, family obligations, school, and other errands that need to be completed here in the Conroe, TX area that take up your time. Well, we here at Gullo Mazda are happy to announce that the old 3,000-mile myth that you may have been following to get your oil changed does not necessarily have to be taken into consideration anymore.

You may not be able to go one, two, even more than five thousand more miles…
