How do I know when it's time to get auto
service?
There are two ways to know when it's time. The
first is when you begin to notice that something doesn't feel quite right.
Nobody knows your vehicle better than you, so if it's not performing the way it
should, it's time to bring it in. Pay attention to your vehicle warning lights,
as they will alert you when something is wrong.
The second is to keep to your regularly
scheduled service interval plan, which your technician can discuss with you in
detail. Service intervals begin at the 3,750-miles/three-month mark and run
through the entire lifespan of your Nissan. Each interval involves different
service work, which our technicians can walk you through.
Why is it important to stick to a regularly
scheduled maintenance plan?
There are two main reasons to do this. The first
is your personal safety. A safe vehicle is one that has been serviced by a
factory-certified technician, who can alert you to any current or potential
problem areas in your vehicle.
The second is the value of your vehicle. When it
comes time for your next upgrade, you'll get the most for your trade-in if you
have a Nissan that has kept to its maintenance schedule.

Service?

How do I know when I need an oil
change?
This largely depends on what kind of oil you
have in your vehicle. The breakdown is as follows:
- Conventional: 3,000 miles
- Synthetic Blend: 5,000 miles
- Full Synthetic: 7,500
miles
How often should I get my brakes
checked?
Your first brake inspection will happen at your
second service interval, at the 7,500-mile/six-month mark. From there, you'll
have an inspection about once every six months. However, if you detect that
something is wrong ahead of time, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment
with our service department.
When is a good time to replace my car
battery?
On average, your car battery will last between
three to five years, depending on the brand. We recommend getting your
batteries replaced either in the Fall or Spring seasons, as the harsh climates
created by Summer and Winter weather around Forest City have the potential to
cause major problems on old batteries.
How often should I get my tires
rotated?
Tire rotations on the Nissan maintenance
schedule occur every six months. It's strongly recommended to keep to this
schedule.
How do I know when my tires need to be
replaced?
Tires are an easy thing to keep track of on your
end. A quick visual inspection will usually tell you when it's time to change
it. If you take a penny and stick it into the tread of your tires and you can
see the top of Lincoln's head, it's time to change your tires. In terms of
numbers, tires are generally changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on
your brand.
