All drivers should have some knowledge about their vehicles, especially where maintenance is concerned. If you’re looking to be a more conscientious car owner, these are the questions you will want to ask your Nissan mechanic:
What Services Does My Car Need?
You need to make sure your vehicle gets certain maintenance, and this should include:
- Oil changes
- Tire rotations
- Fluid top-offs
- Brake and battery checks
How Often Do I Need to Get Service?
It’s good to know what your car needs, but it may be even more important knowing when these things should be done.
- Oil Changes: Every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or twice per year.
- Tire Rotations: Generally, the same timeframe as oil changes.
- Fluid Top-Offs: Power steering, transmission, and other fluids should be checked every few months.
- Brake and Battery Checks: Both of these should be thoroughly looked at once per year.
What Happens if I Skip Service?
Going a little past when service is due isn’t the end of the world. However, if you completely forget these things or just ignore them, your car’s performance will suffer. Eventually, you will be looking at an expense repair or even a complete breakdown.
Can You Put My Car on a Service Schedule?
Once you have gotten the necessary service done, it can be easy to forget about the next time you need it. This is why it’s a good idea to ask about having your car put on a service schedule, as you will be able to get reminders when something important is due.
