Bright Bay Mazda is pleased to announce that the Mazda Total Advantage program is available through the Long Island dealership.  The new program allows customers that purchase a Mazda from the dealership to prepay for future service on the car.

The new system is great for drivers that are worried about taking their car to a mechanic and not knowing what service needs to be done or if the mechanic is trustworthy.  The new Mazda Total Advantage Program helps to eliminate all doubts and performs scheduled maintenance with genuine Mazda parts.

Mazda unrolled the program back in the summer and has seen great response from customers with the program.  Total Advantage allows Mazda drivers to purchase the service in one-to-five-year increments on Schedule I and Schedule II maintenance plans.

All new, used, and certified Mazda cars from 2007 model years and newer are eligible to participate.  The system allows drivers to know they are getting the best maintenance available, done by certified Mazda mechanics and done at the correct time of the life of the vehicle.  Customers also will benefit from the full-circle service inspection upon each visit to make sure everything is running smoothly outside of the appointment that day.

Best of all, drivers can roll the Mazda Total Advantage costs right into their financing for the vehicle so they won’t have to pay an additional bill each time they bring their car in for the scheduled service.
