Your Nissan is a great vehicle, and you’ll want to keep it in perfect condition. The best way to protect your Nissan and reduce wear and damage is to perform regular maintenance. There are many different types of car maintenance, and as your Nissan dealer, we want to give you a few tips on ways you can keep your Nissan in top shape.
Ensure Your Nissan’s Longevity with These Essential Maintenance Tips
Test Your Battery
A dead battery will always seem to happen at the worst possible time. A battery has a lifespan of approximately three to five years. The chemical reactions inside the battery that allow it to store and supply electricity slowly break down, and this causes the battery to fail. Some problems in an engine can shorten battery life, for example, a defective alternator.
We advise you to get a battery test when your battery is three years old and then test it again yearly. Regular testing gives you the peace of mind of knowing that your battery is unlikely to let you down when you need it most. If our battery tester reveals a problem with your battery, we can quickly install a replacement for you while you wait.
Protect Your Paint
Your car’s paint has multiple layers and has a clear coat to protect the color from fading and allow it to shine. Car paint is affected by many environmental factors, including cold, heat, rain, and even sunshine. As time passes, paint can become damaged and need to be repaired. Fortunately, it’s possible to reduce the effect of the problems.
If you wash your car regularly, you can easily remove dust and grit that can scratch the paint. It’s also advisable to polish your car at least twice a year, just before summer and at the end of fall. Summer and winter conditions have the most impact on your paint, and a good wax helps to protect it. Despite the best car, paint can get damaged. If this happens, we can repair the damage for you.
Rotate Your Tires
Tire rotation is a quick and easy way to reduce tire damage and improve your tire’s lifespan. Each tire position on your car generates a different wear pattern on a tire. If your tires aren’t rotated, the increased wear can lead to leaks or a blowout.
During a tire rotation, we shift your tires to different positions. The exact positions the tires move to are determined by the type of drivetrain in your Nissan. Shifting your tires helps equalize wear and tear and allows the tires to wear down at a uniform rate. Reducing wear will give you extra time to plan for their eventual replacement.
