Avoid Car Theft
We might not want to talk about it, but cars get stolen all the time. Most of the time, they aren’t recovered and that is sad.

We definitely don’t want to have to replace it, so what can we do to avoid car theft? (more…)

What do the parts of a VIN number mean?
Would you like to know a little bit more about how to read your Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN? We can help you with that by telling you what the different numbers mean so you can better understand what information is being provided by this series of digits.
What do the parts of a VIN number mean?

Alright, let’s get to decoding that number, section by section:Â (more…)

Mazda and the question of long-term value

Do Mazda cars hold their value?
A car purchase is a big deal, but it’s not a marriage. Many of us go into it knowing we’ll want to trade it in before “death do us part” — And in the auto game, that’s really okay. Normal, even. Don’t even feel bad about it! If you’re thinking about delving into a type of car you haven’t owned or had much personal experience with, you’re probably concerned about the long term worth of it, and whether it’ll end up being a decent deal for you down the line when it comes time to sell. Do Mazda cars hold their value? Today we’ll talk about some of the factors that affect a vehicle’s resale value and determine how the Mazda cars we have here at Holiday Mazda perform in those areas. (more…)

Mazda CX-3 Release Date
UPDATE: We now have additional information about the Mazda CX-3 Release — Click here to see our latest post.
Whether you’ve been a fan of crossovers for a while now or you’re still on the fence, there seems to be little doubt these days about their staying power. Families across the country turn to these spacious and capable models for an alternative to the large SUV and truck options that might be a little more hefty than what these folks are looking for in a vehicle. For many, crossovers hit that just-right note between a comfortable and efficient sedan and a larger vehicle with more space and advanced capability options. Mazda is no stranger to the crossover game, with the popular CX-5 and CX-9 models offering drivers both a smaller and larger option, but it may be about time to offer a few more options. If the CX-5 is a little bigger than what you want, you’ll want to pay attention to the very real possibility of a Mazda CX-3 release date, and if you wanted something between the CX-5 and CX-9, here’s hoping that rumor of an impending CX-7 is true!
