Top 5 reasons to service your Nissan at the dealership

Posted on December 14, 2021

Everyone who owns a vehicle will have to take it to be serviced once in a while. If your vehicle is due for its regular maintenance or your vehicle doesn't seem to be running properly,  it is important that you get your vehicle to a trusted service department as soon as possible. Many people wonder if they should take their vehicle to the dealership to be serviced or should they take it to a local mechanic. Is there a difference between the two choices? There is, in fact, a difference between a local mechanic and a dealership's service department. Here is a look at the top five reasons why it is recommended that you bring your Nissan to the dealership to be serviced.

1. Experienced Professionals

At Royal Oak Nissan, all of our technicians have been factory-trained. This means that each one of our technicians has gone through a rigorous training program to ensure that they understand all of the different components of a Nissan vehicle. No matter which Nissan model you have, our technicians will have extensive knowledge in how to diagnose and fix the problem.

2. Professional Equipment

When it comes to servicing your vehicle, our technicians only use top-of-the-line equipment. Some independent mechanic shops will use cheap diagnostic equipment and other tools, which could give them a wrong reading. We only use state-of-the-art tools, including our diagnostic equipment, to ensure that your vehicle gets the best treatment.

3. OEM Parts

At Royal Oak Nissan, we carry a large selection of genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. This means that every replacement part that we use is specifically designed to fit the make and model of your car.

4. Warranty Compliance

If you recently purchased a Nissan vehicle, your car probably came with a Basic Warranty that lasts for 60,000 km or 36 months - whichever comes first. There are a few ways that you can void your warranty before the expiration date. For example, some aftermarket performance parts that are put on the vehicle's engine may void the warranty.

At Royal Oak Nissan, we have extensive knowledge about Nissan's warranty plans. We know how to enhance your vehicle without voiding the warranty. If your vehicle needs to be serviced, we will also be able to determine if the work is covered under the warranty, which may mean that you don't have to pay for the repairs.

5. Convenience

We understand that your time is important. No one wants to spend all day getting their vehicle serviced. That is why we have extended hours during the week and on the weekend to make sure that we are here for you when it is convenient for you. We also work diligently to get your vehicle inspected and repaired as quickly as possible so that you can be back on the road in a timely manner.
