Over time, even a Nissan engine needs servicing. Combustion, heat, and time all combine to cause wear and tear on engine components.

Engine Diagnostic 

All important components in your Nissan have sensors connected to them. These sensors transmit and receive information from your car’s computer. This information is used by the computer to make numerous decisions. The sensors also identify any issue in their connected system and advise the computer. The computer then logs the issue with an error code and illuminates the relevant warning light.

An engine diagnostic allows us to read the error codes, which greatly reduces repair time. We connect a scanner to your car, and the scanner displays any error codes in the computer’s memory. Our technicians can identify these codes, which highlight the particular section of your vehicle that has a problem. We’ll repair the problem, and the warning light will go out.

Air Filter Replacement

Air is essential for combustion, and your engine requires vast quantities of it. The air in your engine enters through the radiator grille and then passes into the air filter. The air filter traps dirt and other debris and then lets the clean air enter your engine.

Over time, the filter will become blocked with dirt, and this reduces engine performance. The lack of air turns your engine fuel-rich. The air-fuel mixture in a fuel-rich engine can’t burn effectively, and much of the fuel in the mixture is wasted. In addition, a fuel-rich engine can result in misfiring and stalling. We can replace this filter in no time, and your engine will become fuel-efficient again.
