It’s official – winter is in full swing. With colder days and nights, it’s important to book your Nissan for some pre-winter care and attention.
We’ve put together a guide to some common winter problems that can be easily avoided by booking your car in for Nissan maintenance.
Equip Nissan Winter Tires
Have you had your tires checked recently? It’s essential to ensure your tire tread is deep enough to drive in snowy on and off-road conditions.
You could also think about replacing your regular tires with Nissan winter tires for the colder months for better grip and handling when you’re on the road. Whatever your decision, if your treads are too low, you’ll need to change them as soon as possible.
If your tire treads are good as they are, then we’d advise you to get them rotated and balanced to keep them healthy for longer. Also, test the tire pressure simultaneously to ensure there are no air leaks.
Check Your Brakes
This one’s a no-brainer. You need to get your brakes checked to ensure your vehicle stops in time every time. This is even more important when driving in winter conditions, with wet and slippery roads.
When you come to Glendale Nissan for Nissan maintenance, we’ll check your brake pads and ensure you have enough brake fluid to keep you and your family safe when driving around during the holiday season. We’ll also examine your rotors and other parts to ensure they work together.
Test the Battery
Cold temperatures can impact your Nissan’s battery life. It has to work extra hard when powering not only your vehicle but also lights, heaters, and so on. The last thing you need is to be stuck out in the cold trying to jump-start your car. It’s important that you check your battery terminals and cables to make sure they’re properly connected and corrosion-free.
When you come in for Nissan maintenance, our trained technicians can test your battery life and its charging systems to ensure they’re in full working order.
Nissan Maintenance for Winter
Aside from the big three above, other aspects of your Nissan need to be taken care of when you prepare it for the winter months:
- Front end alignment to adjust the front wheels to run parallel to your Nissan’s center.
- Filter replacement with genuine Nissan oil filters.
- Muffler/exhaust repair.
- Transmission flush (if your transmission fluid is dark and not bright in color).
- Overall vehicle checkup and inspection
