MAINTENANCE INTERVAL GUIDELINES

Your Nissan is designed to run for many years to come, when correctly maintained. The way you drive your vehicle and the conditions in which it operates can affect how frequently its components need to be inspected, adjusted or replaced

Maintenance

Find Professional Service at Affordable Prices in Hamilton, ON

Let’s face the facts – no matter how reliable your vehicle is, it will still need at least basic maintenance to keep it running smoothly. And while refilling the gas tank and inflating the tires are simple enough, more complicated jobs like oil changes or changing suspension bushings are best left to the professionals. That’s where Plaza Nissan comes in.

Our full-service Service Department has everything you need to keep your vehicle running long after the odometer has entered six digits. Our team of service technicians are all factory-trained and have years of experience working with a wide variety of manufacturers – not just Nissan.

So regardless where you live in Ontario, or what you drive, if you’re searching for the most affordable way to keep your vehicle on the road – then come to Plaza Nissan in Hamilton, ON.

Keep It Affordable

At Plaza Nissan we want you to keep your money where it belongs – in your wallet. That’s why we offer Service Specials to keep things as affordable as possible. From reduced rates of labour to money off specific services, check back here regularly to save yourself a bundle!

High-Quality OEM Parts

Half of a vehicle reliability is how well its parts are installed, the other half is the quality of the parts themselves. That’s why our Parts Department offers nothing but the highest quality OEM parts and accessories to ensure that your vehicle is as reliable as the day it left the factory.

Maintenance Schedule

Not sure when your Rogue, Altima, Pathfinder, Murano, or Sentra is due for its next maintenance service? Find out with our simple online Maintenance Schedule!

FACTORS THAT AFFECT MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS:

  • SHORTER TRIPS: Repeated short trips of less than 8 kilometers increase your vehicle’s maintenance needs
  • FREEZING CONDITIONS: Canadian driving conditions are classified as ‘Severe Operating Conditions’ and therefore it is critical to ensure you follow the recommendations found in your owner’s manual for all maintenance-related items. In cold weather, your vehicle will need maintenance more often if your average trip length is less than 16 kms.
  • HOT WEATHER: Stop-and-go traffic or long-distances at low speeds can place additional stress on a vehicle’s cooling systems, requiring more frequent checks.
  • SALT, DUST & MUD: Driving on salt-spread roads or in dusty, rough or muddy conditions can accelerate wear on various vehicle components.
  • VEHICLE LOADS: Towing a trailer, using a camper or car-top carrier and frequently hauling heavy loads make your vehicle work harder, so it will require attention more often.
