When it comes to taking care of your new Nissan SUV or car, there are a lot of factors to consider. Regular oil changes, battery maintenance, new brakes – the list goes on. Luckily, our Nissan service center is here to help! Our expert technicians are ready to handle whatever type of service your car needs, including tire maintenance and repair. We want to take a moment to talk about all the different types of tire maintenance you can receive at our Bedford Nissan service center. Proper tire maintenance can extend the life of your tires, make your driving experience more fun and improving your vehicle's fuel economy. One of the most important parts of taking care of your tires is paying attention to your tire pressure. Regularly checking your tire pressure not only allows you to detect potential problems before they happen, but it also helps you keep your tires at the optimal pressure level, which can improve your Nissan car or SUV's performance capabilities and fuel economy. You can always check your tire pressure yourself, but when you schedule a service appointment at our Nissan service center, not only will we inflate your tires for you, but we'll also perform other types of tire maintenance as well, like tire rotations and alignments. Rotating your tires switches tires around to help them wear more evenly, which saves you money when it comes time to replace them. Wheel alignments, which should be done annually, are also important for the life of your tires. Wheels that are out of alignment can cause pretty excessive wear and tear for specific tires, so if you notice your steering wheel pulling in one direction or your vehicle shaking at high speeds, consider scheduling an appointment with our service center. Car service and maintenance is key to keeping your Nissan car at peak performance, so visit our service center in Bedford, OH today for your all your car maintenance needs.

The new school year is here, and we’re celebrating a time of new beginnings by welcoming the 2020 Nissan Maxima to Bedford Nissan! The newest version of this popular sedan brings improvements in safety, drive experience, and driver assist features. Whether you want to liven up your commute or make sure your passengers are safe to and from school, the 2020 Nissan Maxima is the perfect choice. One of the most exciting things about this new Nissan model is its Nissan Safety Shield 360 package, which comes standard in every trim level. This suite of safety features was carefully designed to make driving easier and safer than ever before, and includes features like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, and rear automatic braking. If you want to go the extra mile, available safety features like intelligent cruise control and traffic sign recognition can make you feel even safer behind the wheel. But it’s not just the safety features that make the 2020 Nissan Maxima so special – it's also downright fun to drive. Its available dual panoramic moonroof can help give you open air excitement, while its powerful 300-horsepower engine pairs with an XTRONIC CVT to make you feel like you're driving a top-of-the-line roadster. There’s plenty to get excited about when it comes to the 2020 Nissan Maxima, and we've just scraped the tip of the iceberg. If you want to learn more, visit your local Nissan dealers at Bedford Nissan any time so we can tell you all about this new model. We're located at 18115 Rockside Road in Bedford, OH if you want to stop by.

When you're desperate for fuel at the pumps, it can be easy to default to the cheapest option available. But here at our Bedford, OH Nissan dealership, we want you to know that the cheapest fuel option may not always be the most efficient choice for your vehicle. That's why we want to educate you on all the different types of fuel available at your nearby gas station, so you can make an informed choice next time you fuel up. The four major fuel types you’ll see at a standard gas station are regular, plus, premium, and diesel. While diesel fuel can only be used in cars specifically made for it, the other three fuel types are all safe to use in most vehicles. Regular, plus, and premium refer to octane ratings (87, 89, and 91-93 are the most common), which signals how quickly and strongly that type of fuel can burn when pressurized. Lower octane fuel ratings will likely cause your car to burn fuel quickly, so many premium models, sports cars, and high-performance SUVs perform better with fuel containing a higher octane rating. If you’re unsure which type of fuel is right for you, consult the owner’s manual of your Nissan vehicle; it will tell you which type is most ideal for your model. Regardless which fuel you choose, you won't do serious damage to your car if you test out multiple fuel options. However, if your vehicle does not contain a diesel engine, do not opt for diesel fuel, as it can do significant damage to models with gas-powered engines. Still have questions about how different types of fuel can affect your Nissan car? Just search for “Nissan dealerships near me” and head on over to Bedford Nissan near Shaker Heights. We hope to see you soon!
