No one looks forward to it, but car maintenance is an important part of owning a car.  Seattle Nissan owners who keep up with scheduled maintenance can be preventing future breakdowns or accidents.

The service center at Nissan of Auburn is proud to serve Seattle Nissan drivers with quality car maintenance and repairs and will help car owners keep up with routine maintenance.

General car maintenance, such as routine oil changes, tire rotations, fluid flushes and filter replacements, are all affordable procedures that will keep all vehicles in their best shape and in ideal driving conditions.

Some of these procedures can be done by car owners, such as filter replacements.  Car owners can find the correct filter for their vehicle at the part’s department at the leading Kent Nissan dealer or have them replaced at the dealership during their next car service.  Filters that should be checked at a future visit include air filters, fuel filters and cabin filters.

Routine oil changes are among the easiest and most important things to keep up with.  Be sure to make an appointment at the Kent Nissan dealer or stop by for an oil change.  Oil changes are recommended every 3,000 miles.  Routine oil changes ensure that the car and engine are running efficiently.

Car owners who do not keep up with oil changes will run into problems when their vehicle has old oil or not enough oil.  Problems such as an engine overheating or other major problems can occur and result in high repair bills.

Fluid flushes should also be kept up with.  Coolant/antifreeze flushes, brake system flushes and transmission fluid services also help to keep all vehicles in top shape.  The technicians at the Seattle Nissan service center will let drivers know when their vehicle is in need of one.

Tire rotations are also important to lengthen the lifespan of tires.  Tires should be rotated about every 5,000 miles or about every other oil change.  Tire rotations are important because they prevent tires from wearing unevenly, which can cause a car to lean and lead to safety problems.  Tire pressure should also be monitored, especially in the winter.  Car owners should make sure that they have the correct about of pressure in their tires for safety and optimum fuel efficiency.  Too low pressure wears down tires and tire treat and overfilling tires can cause tire blowouts.

Important inspections, such as checks on brakes, front end, under-carriage, belts, hoses and battery, should be done routinely to ensure that everything is in best shape.

Seattle Nissan owners can keep up with routine maintenance by having regular tune ups and checkups at Nissan of Auburn.  Car owners will find that their vehicle will perform better and be in a much better driving condition.

Winter weather has arrived and if Nissan owners haven’t already done so, it’s time to make sure their vehicles are ready for winter.  The Nissan service center in Kent would like to share some winter weather advice and tips from the Car Care Council, a leading source for information on vehicle care.

While vehicle maintenance is always vital, it is especially important as winter approaches.  During these months, vehicles have to fend off bitter cold temperatures, ice, snow, slush and salt.  With these tips, Kent Nissan drivers can be prepared for any upcoming weather.

Customers can make sure their vehicle is in top shape for the season by visiting the leading center for Nissan service in Kent WA at Nissan of Auburn for vehicle service.  Mechanics at the service center can easily perform all the following steps to ensure that all vehicles are ready for winter driving.

A car not starting isn’t fun at any time, but it’s even less fun in the freezing cold.  Have the battery and charging system checked by a local mechanic, who can ensure its connections are clean, tight and corrosion free or replace the battery if it is more than three years old.

Brakes, of course, should be checked given how important they become on icy or snow-covered roads.

Also with control in mind, drivers should take the time to check tire tread depth and tire pressure.  Tire pressure should actually be checked weekly during the winter as it can fall as much as a pound per square inch with every 10-degree drop in temperature.  Owners should also consider special tires to grip slick roads in especially snowy areas.

As always, changing the oil at recommended intervals is important, but dirty oil can be even more of a problem in winter.  A switch to low viscosity oil is often a smart choice, as it can easily flow, even at cold temperatures.

Finally, to maintain the best possible visibility, antifreeze and wiper blades need to be replaced.  Antifreeze should be flushed out and refilled every two years in most vehicles.  Wiper blades, which can have their lifespans cut down by cold weather, should be changed if they are cracked, torn or don’t properly clean the windshield.  These parts can be picked up at the parts department at the Nissan service center in Kent.
