At Lunde Mazda of Fargo, we're always looking for ways to support and give back to our surrounding communities. One of the ways we do this is through our annual holiday toy drive. We invite you to learn more about this event and how you can get involved. Learn More About Our Toy Drive During the holiday season, we are proud to host an annual toy drive benefitting children fighting cancer from around Hillsboro and the surrounding neighborhoods. For us, this toy drive represents the meaning of Christmas. It's important to us to give back to our community and support those who need it during the holiday season. However, we can't do this alone. Our dealership would love to rally our Grand Forks neighbors to help us make this year's toy drive the best it can be. If you choose to participate, our dealership, and the children it benefits, will be incredibly grateful. To say thank you, you'll receive three dollars off your next oil change. How Can I Participate? We'd love you to contribute to our toy drive. We are collecting new, in-package gifts for local children. If you'd prefer, we are also accepting donations. These donations will go toward the Roger Maris Cancer Center. These toys and donations are collecting now through December 16, 2022. Please bring your toys or donations to Lunde Auto Center at 140th Avenue South or Kia of Fargo at 3901 2nd Avenue South during business hours. Stop By Lunde Mazda of Fargo for Toy or Donation Dropoffs Even though there are only ten days left of our toy drive, there's still time to get involved. Don't wait to drop your new toys or donations at one of our locations. While you're here, schedule your next routine oil change and take advantage of your coupon. This toy drive is an important way for us to support our community. Please consider donating this holiday season. Our dealership would love your help. We appreciate your time and assistance.

When winter comes around, the cold weather can cause serious issues to your vehicle. If you’re looking for a place to prepare for the coming cold properly, we here at Mazda of Fargo are here to help. Take a few moments to read about how you can winterize your vehicle. Inspect Your Battery In the winter months, the cold weather can affect your battery. The last thing anyone wants is to be caught out in the cold with a vehicle that won’t start. By having your battery inspected at our service center in Fargo, ND, we’ll ensure that their battery is in working order. We’ll even replace it should it not be running at peak performance. Change Your Oil Due to cold weather, the oil in your vehicle can begin to thicken and move slower in your engine. To make sure you're using the right oil for the season, bring your vehicle to our service center and will provide you with proper low-velocity grade oil so that it can operate all winter long. Replace Your Belts and Hoses Because the belts and hoses in your vehicle are made from rubber and plastic, they are more affected by cold weather. The cold can cause your belts to thin out and your hoses to crack. If you’re a Hillsboro resident and spot any of these issues, head to our service center right away. Take Advantage of Our Service Center When it comes to preparing your vehicle for the winter, there are many ways to do so. And we’ve only scratched the surface. If you’re a resident of Grand Fork and wish to learn more about how to get your vehicle ready for the cold, contact our service center and they’ll be glad to help you out.
