Automotive Maintenance Milestones

Once you’ve purchased a vehicle from one of our Boston car dealerships, you’re going to want to ensure you’re doing everything possible to protect your investment. For many, a vehicle is the second largest purchase in their life. The key to ensuring its longevity is routine maintenance.

Most Boston car dealerships can sell you the car, but Coastal Nissan, your Boston Nissan dealer, is dedicated to you and your vehicle well beyond the day you drive off the lot. Our factory-trained and certified technicians know the entire line of Nissan automobiles inside and out. They are equipped to provide a plethora of services from routine maintenance like oil changes all the way to outfitting your vehicle with the latest automotive accessories.

To ensure you keep your vehicle in top shape, follow these maintenance guidelines and visit your Boston car dealership for an automotive check-up:

Wash your car monthly to ensure your paint job’s long life.
Check your tire pressure every other time you fill up the car with gas.
Once a month, check all of your car’s exterior lights to make sure they’re in proper working order.
Every 3,000 miles check your battery, air filter, oil and oil filter, engine belts, fluids, and hoses.
Every 6,000 miles check your chassis lubrication, wiper blades, and polish.
Every 12,000 miles check your air filter, antifreeze, steering, suspension, and spark plugs.

By adhering to an automotive maintenance calendar, you can rest assured that your car will put the Energizer Bunny to shame.
