Your Nissan will give you many years of driving pleasure, but it needs regular maintenance to perform at its best. As your Nissan dealership in Redwood City, CA, we’d like to tell you about some of the many services we can provide for you.

Brake Servicing

Your brakes are capable of stopping your Nissan almost instantly. This is invaluable, as potential accidents can occur with minimal warning. The braking system depends on pressure and force to operate effectively. When you hit the brakes, pressurized brake fluid forces the calipers against the rotors. This action generates friction, which quickly slows and stops your car.

During a brake service, we evaluate the condition of your brake fluid and then replace it. Our highly skilled technicians will examine all your braking system’s components, from the brake master cylinder, which controls the system, to the calipers and wheel rotors. You’ll feel the improvement in your braking system as soon as you drive away.

Oil Changes

Oil is the essential fluid that allows your engine to work. Your Nissan uses synthetic oil, which is scientifically designed to keep your engine running perfectly. As oil is pumped through the engine, it lubricates moving parts as it flows. This lubrication prevents friction and damage. Modern oils prevent rust in the engine and break down potential blockages.

An oil change consists of checking and replacing the oil and replacing the oil filter. We test your oil to check its condition, and this check can provide vital clues to any other problem in your engine. Once the oil has been assessed, we drain it and replace it with fresh oil. The oil filter needs to be replaced as it can become partially blocked with minute debris from the engine. An oil change can make your engine feel just like new again.

Battery Testing

A healthy battery will bring your engine to life in seconds. It’s a vital part of your engine, but unfortunately, it has a relatively short lifespan. An average battery will last three to five years. The genuine Nissan batteries we install are guaranteed for six years. Battery life can be reduced by extreme heat or cold or due to damage by other engine components, like a worn alternator or damaged wiring.

A battery test involves connecting your battery to our battery tester. The tester subjects your battery to a series of tests to determine any potential weaknesses. If your battery is healthy and passes the test, we advise scheduling another test a year later. If your battery is failing, we can replace it with a new one while you wait.
