It’s a new year, and for many Palm Springs and Cathedral City drivers, it’s a good reminder to perform an annual Nissan maintenance checkup on your vehicle. From the electrical system to your tires and brakes, let the new year be your cue to give your Nissan a check-up.
Here we explore some of the maintenance items that will keep your Nissan running at its best as we kick off the new year.
Multi-Point Inspection
One obvious place to begin your new year of car maintenance is with a multi-point inspection. As your local certified Nissan service center in Cathedral City, Palm Springs Nissan knows your Nissan best. Our team of specially trained technicians can assess your Nissan and provide a report on (among other things) the state of its:
- Brakes
- Electrical System
- Fluids
- Suspension
- Tires
We’ll also check out a variety of smaller maintenance items that can often be overlooked. For example, Nissan wiper maintenance can improve your vision by making sure your windshield is always clean. A multi-point inspection gives you peace of mind that your car, truck, or SUV is in its best possible shape.
Fluids Check
You may already get a regular oil and filter change for your Nissan, but there are other fluids that can benefit from an annual flush and replacement too. These include coolant, automatic transmission fluid, and power steering fluid.
Tire and Suspension Check
Your set of tires is one of the most important safety components of your car. They provide all the road holding and braking grip you need to drive safely. You may already check your tire pressures once a month, but the new year is a good time to check the tread depth. Tires that are worn offer less grip, especially in wet conditions.
Also, check the sidewall of the tire for any signs of damage, and look for bubbles or blisters. These bulges are signs of impact damage from potholes or curbs and are a sign your tire’s integrity is compromised.
Look for even wear, too, as uneven wear across the surface of the tire could indicate suspension issues, and you might benefit from a wheel alignment.
Battery Check
Palm Springs Nissan has the equipment to test and diagnose your vehicle’s electrical components, including the battery and charging system. We supply genuine, OEM Nissan batteries for your vehicle.
Wash and Wax
The dust and sand that blows through Palm Springs causes small amounts of damage to your bodywork and to your hinges and handles. Your undercarriage also gets contaminated with road grime, sand, and other debris.
A thorough wash and wax not only keeps your paint looking its best but protects your vehicle from the effects of weather and grime.
You can also use this time to lubricate your door locks and hinges to keep them working their best. The other benefit of washing and waxing is that it gives you a chance to really look over your vehicle for any signs of trouble.
