Living in a place that gets a lot of snow, it's imperative to service your Nissan before the busy holiday season. The demands on your vehicle will be higher than usual because of the bad weather and unpredictable driving conditions. If you're not sure how often to get your car serviced, one of the most regular services is the oil change. We recommend coming down to Marc Motors Nissan for an oil change every 7,500 miles, which is usually about twice per year.
In addition to getting your oil changed, there are a few other important services that you should have performed before winter hits. One of these is a tire rotation. As the weather gets colder, the rubber in your tires will start to harden and lose elasticity. This can cause them to wear down more quickly, so it's important to have them rotated at least every six months.
Another service that's important to have done in preparation for the winter is a brake inspection. Your brakes are put under a lot of stress when you're driving in cold and slippery conditions, so it's important to make sure they're in good condition before the weather gets bad. You should especially bring your Nissan in for service if you're going to be using it to tow anything. The added weight can put a lot of strain on your engine and transmission, so it's important to have them inspected and serviced before you hit the road.
If you're not sure whether or not your Nissan needs servicing, feel free to give us a call. We'll be happy to help you establish a maintenance schedule and inspect your car for any problems that might have arisen. Our service center at Marc Motors Nissan is well-equipped to help you get through this winter season around Sanford, ME.
