Regarding the general well-being of your vehicle, regular Nissan service is essential. We understand it can be challenging to remember every moving part, but checking certain aspects can save you time and a decent amount of money. Let’s look at three fluids you should be routinely checking to maintain the health of your car. more Motor Oil If you can't remember the last time, you changed your oil, scheduling an appointment at our dealership is not a bad idea. Changing your oil is crucial to protect your engine against corrosion and maintain the proper oil production on the cylinder walls. In addition, we recommend synthetic motor oil to ensure your vehicle operates at peak performance. Brake Fluid Inspecting or servicing your brakes is essential, as is changing the brake fluid. Your car's brake fluid helps maintain the brake system since debris accumulates over time, causing your brakes to lose effectiveness. We recommend scheduling a brake fluid flush at least every two years or according to your manufacturer. Coolant Coolant helps regulate your engine's temperature, ensuring it operates smoothly every time you drive your car. Like brake fluid, over time, debris can accumulate, and neglecting to flush it out with new fluid could cause your engine to overheat. When you bring your vehicle to our service center, our technicians will recognize when it's time for a replacement to ensure your engine runs smoothly.

If your Nissan Rogue has a hitch, the bike rack conveniently can attach to it, or it can attach to your roof racks. 3.    Splash Guards Springtime is known for its rainy weather, and with rain often comes mud.

Although there are many aspects to pay attention to when it comes to maintenance, your Nissan brakes are a vital component of your vehicle, and you should prioritize them to ensure peak performance. At Sansone Nissan, our dealership strives to provide an exceptional service experience for our customers. So, let’s look at three tips that will protect your Nissan brakes. more 1.    Don’t Slam Down on the Brakes Sometimes an abrupt stop is necessary to prevent an accident, but doing this too often can add excessive wear to your brake system over time. Slowing your speed before coming to a complete stop protects your brake pads from future damage or premature wear. In addition, having a professional check your brakes can help you identify issues before they become a bigger problem. 2.    Brake Fluid Flushes Although specific intervals can vary by model, you should regularly get the brake fluid replaced in your vehicle, as this liquid helps them work effectively. Over time, frequent emergency braking and heavy use will decrease the lifespan of the components of your brake system. Our service technicians will use manufacturer-recommended fluid during service. 3.    Don’t Place Both Feet on The Pedals If you tend to place one foot on the brake while the other is on the accelerator, you're more likely to overuse the brake, causing premature wear on your brake system. Avoiding this bad habit can extend the life of your brake pedal and prevent future repairs.

Dealing with a scratch on your car can be frustrating, and it can be challenging to determine whether your vehicle requires Nissan repairs. Whether you need an oil change or urgent maintenance, our dealership proudly provides quality service beyond our customer's expectations. Let's look at the three types of car scratches and how our dealership fixes them. more Clear Coat This type of scratch affects the outer surface of your car, but not the paint, making it the easiest to fix. A clear coat scratch can occur for many reasons, but flying debris is the most popular cause. To repair the problem, we apply another layer of clear coat to cover the scratch. Paint A paint scratch can cause the paint on your vehicle to peel off, but it doesn't break the paint's surface. Unfortunately, some clear coat scratches turn into paint scratches if you don't address the problem or if the area experiences repeated impact. Our dealership can assess the problem and ensure you receive a perfect color match for the repair. Primer/Deep Primer/deep scratches break through your vehicle's paint, exposing the metal. These types of scratches are serious and can lead to other issues if not addressed promptly. The cause of these scratches can range from age to an accident. The repair process is necessary and should be done by a professional if you want to achieve the best results. We will apply a new primer, then apply paint and a clear coat.

Scheduled service is vital to maintaining the health of your car. If you’re looking for the best place to get an oil change in Woodbridge, NJ, our Nissan-trained technicians provide the quality service your vehicle deserves. Let’s look at some things you should consider when changing your oil filter to help you determine when to visit our service center. more The Role of Your Oil and Oil Filter Changing your oil protects your engine from corrosion and promotes the proper application of oil on the cylinder walls. Your oil filter removes contaminants from the engine oil such as debris, dirt, and metal fragments. The oil filter also keeps the oil where it should be at all times. Over time, your oil and oil filter get dirty and work less effectively. Failure to change them can cause engine damage and reduce fuel efficiency. Therefore, we recommend adhering to your manufacturer’s maintenance schedule to prevent damage to your car. Factory-Recommended Maintenance Intervals Specific intervals can vary depending on your model but following the factory or manufacturer’s maintenance schedule is a great way to keep your vehicle running smoothly and upkeep its overall value. Generally, changing your oil filter every 5,000 miles or around twice yearly is an excellent place to start. Our technicians can quickly service your vehicle and identify any other issues simultaneously.

Did you know that you can receive tax benefits and other advantages when trading in your vehicle? At Sansone Nissan, we’re pleased to offer flexible Nissan financing alongside some helpful tips. more Trade-In vs. Selling Privately Selling a car alone can require a lot of work. You’ll have to factor in advertisements, DMV trips, and directly communicating with customers, which could be a hassle. However, if you trade in at our dealership, you can quickly receive an appraisal for your car on our website.

Every car's battery can deteriorate over time, and although frequent repairs may offer a temporary fix, investing in a dependable battery will keep your vehicle running smoothly. At Sansone Nissan, we're proud to provide quality Nissan service to drivers looking for car batteries for sale in the Woodbridge, NJ, area. Here are three things you should know before shopping for a car battery. more 1.      What Battery do I Need? Several battery options are available, and the best way to find out which one suits your car is to follow your manufacturer's instructions. Whether you have an SUV or compact car, note which battery your model requires before making any decisions. To ensure your battery delivers peak performance, we recommend only using genuine OEM parts designed for your vehicle, which you can find at our service center. 2.      How Fresh is The Battery? Something else to consider is how old the battery is at the time of purchase. Choosing a battery that is a year old may be less effective than a newly manufactured one. You can check each battery's "freshness" date by looking at its alphanumeric code. 3.      How Long will it Last? A battery with cold cranking amps is ideal for driving in colder climates, while drivers in humid climates often may have to replace their battery every one to two years. Of course, many factors can influence how often you need to replace your battery, so it's a good idea to factor in driving conditions, such as climate, before you start shopping for a new battery.

There is nothing worse than a dead battery that leaves you stranded on the side of the road. Although regular service can prevent situations like this, knowing how to jump-start your car could help you in an emergency. Here’s a quick how-to from the experts at our Nissan service center. more 1. Find An Available Vehicle If you’ve tried to turn the key in your engine but your car still won’t start, you’ll want to find a volunteer vehicle to help you restart your battery. Ensure both cars are parked and facing each other, with the engines off and emergency brakes on. If you don’t have jumper cables, call someone who has them, since you will need them in the next step. 2. Attach Jumper Cables Once both cars are situated, you’ll want to connect one end of the red jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end of the red cable to the volunteer car’s positive battery terminal. Next, you’ll want to attach one end of the black cable to the volunteer battery’s negative terminal and the other end to an unpainted metal section in the dead car, such as a bolt. 3. Start the Engine After you connect the cables correctly, start the donor vehicle’s engine and let it run for at least one to two minutes. Next, try to turn on your engine. If your car isn’t starting, wait a couple of minutes to let the battery charge and try again. Never exceed more than three or four tries in a row, as this could damage your vehicle. 4. Disconnect The Cables Once your car runs properly, you’ll want to disconnect all the cables. Don’t let the clamps touch during this process. Taking the car for a short drive afterward will help the battery charge and ensure it starts appropriately next time. Your battery may need service if your car breaks down often or it doesn’t start after multiple attempts. In that case, we invite you to contact Sansone Nissan to schedule a service appointment!
