Owning a Mazda CX‑5 is about more than just driving—it’s about confidence that your vehicle will perform reliably year after year. But one question always comes up: What maintenance costs should I expect at 30,000, 60,000, and 100,000 miles?
At Marin Mazda, the Bay Area’s trusted Mazda dealership, we break it all down—so you can plan with clarity and drive with peace of mind.
Why Maintenance Matters
Regular service keeps your CX‑5 running efficiently and retains its warranty and resale value. Skipping scheduled checks can lead to early wear, reduced fuel economy, and even surprise repairs.
By sticking to Mazda’s manufacturer-recommended maintenance, you preserve that signature Mazda reliability and driving enjoyment.

Bonus: Checking & Replacing These Wear Items

- Coolant & transmission fluid condition
- Inspect spark plugs—replace every 60K unless rated longer
These preventative checks can avoid expensive repairs down the road.
