Nissan maintenance schedule FAQs

Whether you own a Nissan car or you’re planning to buy one, the following information helps answer some common questions about Nissan maintenance needs.

  • Why is factory-scheduled maintenance important?

    Keeping up with factory-scheduled Nissan maintenance can help you maximize your vehicle’s performance and safety over time. It can also minimize costly repairs down the road and improve your vehicle’s value if you eventually trade it in or sell it.

  • Is it worth it to take your Nissan to the dealership for service?

    If you have a newer model with a factory warranty, a Nissan dealership is your only choice for covered repairs. The same is true if you need service for a recall. For other needs, taking your car to the dealership for maintenance or service needs ensures that the people working on your vehicle have specialized training and parts for your Nissan vehicle.

    That said, dealerships typically charge more than independent auto shops. If you need maintenance or service that doesn’t require a visit to the dealership, you may save money with an independent shop.

  • Why would the dealership offer additional services, and do you need them?

    Dealers offer maintenance and repair services to increase their revenues, improve the customer experience, and boost loyalty among customers.

    Taking your car to the dealership you bought it at may be more convenient than searching for a reputable independent auto shop in your area. But it may not be necessary unless you have a warranty or recall notice or you need specialized expertise or parts for your vehicle.

  • What is the preventive maintenance schedule for a Nissan?

    This article outlines a maintenance schedule for the Nissan Rogue, but drivers of other Nissan models should check their owner’s manual or contact their dealer for a schedule. The preventive maintenance schedule can vary depending on your specific model, driving habits and conditions, and other factors. Nissan recommends maintenance on different schedules depending on the vehicle make and model, so checking with your dealer is a good idea.
