Frequently Asked Questions About Nissan Car Service

Your car, truck, SUV, or van requires routine maintenance and repairs in order to stay strong and ready for anything that may come its way. Whether you're driving a new Nissan around Powdersville or you're cruising around Simpsonville in an older model, you may have a few questions about your Nissan car service. Here at Benson Nissan, we've created a list of answers to some of the most frequently asked car service questions to help you keep your Nissan like new.

Why Is It Important To Use Genuine Oil?

Genuine oil is the motor oil that is the brand of your vehicle. We suggest genuine Nissan motor oil for our Nissan drivers, which will provide your Nissan vehicle with the best possible performance. Although you can use a high-quality oil of the same weight, Nissan brand oil will have the right blend of additives for your Nissan engine.

What Is The Cost Of A Conventional Vs. Synthetic Oil Change For Nissan Cars?

The cost of a conventional oil change ranges from $25 to $50, depending on the type of vehicle and engine you have. Synthetic oil changes are more expensive, ranging from $45 to $75, but also includes many benefits. Synthetic oil may improve your vehicle's performance and is known to last longer in between oil changes.

How Do I Know My Brakes Need To Be Replaced?

When your brakes need service, they'll issue certain red flags to warn you. Have you noticed a shrill squealing noise whenever you use the brakes? Does your car shudder, or does your brake pedal go down to the floor when you stop? Is the brake warning light lit on your dashboard? These are all signs that something isn't right with your brake system.

What Is A Nissan Certified Technician?

Here at Benson Nissan, our service center contains certified Nissan technicians to work on your car, truck, SUV, or van. A Nissan certified technician is a mechanic that has gone through the Nissan training and certification process. They know every part of your Nissan vehicle and understand exactly what your Nissan model needs.

Why Should I Service My Car At A Dealership?

While there are plenty of corner garages available to have your repairs and maintenance issues performed, a Nissan dealership is the only place that you know your Nissan will stay like-new. The service center at a Nissan dealership has certified Nissan technicians and contains genuine Nissan parts, tools, and accessories. If your Nissan is under warranty, it may only be covered if the service is performed at a Nissan dealership.

When Do I Need New Tires?

New tires are necessary when the old tires have worn to the point of needing a replacement. You'll want to inspect your tires frequently to determine whether or not your tires require replacement. What should you look for? Low tire pressure, low tire tread, damage to the tire wall, and uneven wear.

Which Nissan Models Have All Season Tires?

Depending on where you purchase your Nissan vehicle, you may find all-season tires on your Nissan car, truck, or SUV. You'll want to discuss the terms of your vehicle purchase with one of the team members available.
