Nissan Service Tips: Breakdowns

Sep 16, 2021

We’ve all driven by a car on the side of the road, perhaps with a white towel sticking out of one of the windows. Nobody wants to think about their car breaking down, but this is a pretty common occurrence. The good news is that most breakdowns can be avoided, and our Nissan Service Center offers these tips:

Stick to a Service Schedule

Your car should always be in great health, as this ensures that everything is running as it should. To keep your vehicle in fine shape, it needs to get regular service. Oil changes in particular are vital. Clean and fresh oil lets an engine perform optimally, and at the same time keeps out dirt and harmful particles.

Take Care of Any Problems

Have your brakes been squeaking? Perhaps the car pulls to one side or another when you’re driving? These are clear signs that your vehicle needs some attention. When you don’t pay attention to red flags, they will almost always get worse, which means you’re putting yourself in jeopardy every time you get behind the wheel. Getting minor things taken care of is a great way to be proactive and it will help you save money.

Stay Vigilant

Even if your car seems to be fine, it may subtly be telling you that not all is right. For example, if you find yourself needing to get gas more often, this is an issue that needs to be addressed. This may be related to bad fuel injectors or misfiring spark plugs, both of which, if ignored, could lead to trouble.
