Do you know if you need a Nissan service? You might think you only need to get your service annually, but sometimes you need it sooner than expected. Your vehicle can experience faults at any time, and you need a service check when something goes wrong.
1. Your Check Engine Light Is On
Is your check engine light on? This light can indicate anything from needing an oil change to having a major fault. You should always head to the dealership when this light comes on. It’s better and safer for you to get the issue dealt with quickly.
You should never ignore the check engine light, because if you do, then you’re going to break down unexpectedly soon enough. It can be difficult to find time to get your vehicle in for a service check, but it’ll be worth it in the end. You’ll save time and money if the issues are detected and repaired early.
2. Loss of Power
Are you finding it difficult to drive as quickly as you used to? Can your vehicle no longer handle the heavy loads that it used to tow with ease? If either of these problems occur, then it’s time for your next service. Don’t assume that your vehicle’s performance is naturally declining as the vehicle ages. You should always assume that it’s a problem, as you can fix a problem. You can even fix the natural wear and tear that comes with an aging vehicle.
Get your service, get your repairs, and your vehicle will be back to towing and driving quickly in no time.
3. Strange Noises Occur
Are your brakes ticking? Is your engine knocking? These unnatural noises can only mean trouble. Any sound that’s unexpected or different is usually bad news for your vehicle. Even an increase in engine noise can indicate that you need an oil change, so don’t delay when you hear something new or unusual. Some sounds are signs of serious issues that should be diagnosed and addressed at once.
4. You’re Overheating
Is your temperature gauge constantly pointing to hot? That means your radiator isn’t working correctly. Do you frequently smell something burning? In that case, something in your vehicle is regularly overheating. A service check will figure out what’s happening in your vehicle, and you’ll be able to fix the issues in no time.
5. Your Brakes Are Faulty
Brake faults have lots of signs that are relatively easy to spot. These signs include:
- Shaky steering wheel when braking
- The brakes feel strange
- Decreased brake function
- Ticking when the brake pedal is used
- Metallic shrieking when driving
All of these signs are red flags, and you need to get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible. Having faulty brakes is one of the most dangerous situations that can arise as a driver.
