Hello, September! Kickstart Your Fall Service! | Frederick, MD

· 2 min read

Heyo! September is here and that means the fall/winter weather is right around the corner. That means it’s time to ask yourself if your vehicle is in need of a tune-up or any other repairs. You don’t want to find yourself stuck in a storm in the next couple of months and have a breakdown because you did service your Nissan. That’s why this week’s blog is here to help you get started on your end of summer service, aka getting your ride ready for the next couple of months! Take a peek below and get started with the DIY service below, or head over to our site to schedule an appointment with the certified professionals here at Younger Nissan of Frederick! Service To Complete…Inspection:
  • The place to start is with an inspection. This is the best way to narrow down the service/ maintenance your vehicle needs most. 
  • This will include important checks like battery check, fluids, belts, hoses, lights, and more 
  • These are important to catch now because as temperatures fall, components can worsen 
Tire Tread
  • Your tire tread is extremely important, especially during the upcoming winter months. If your tire tread is low or bald, you have no grip on slick and icy roads
  • The proper tread depth should be at least 2/32”
  • If you need a simple way to check your tire depth, utilize the penny test
  • Penny Test How To: With Lincoln’s head facing downwards, place the penny into several grooves of a tire. If you can see the top of his head, your tread depth is worn too low and it’s time to replace your tires
  • If you’re in heavy snow areas, you should invest in snow tires - which have proven to provide better traction than all-season tires.
  • Keep an eye out for more than just tread depth. Look for intense light exposure, puncture holes, or anything thing else
Windshield Wiper Maintenance
  • Often overlooked, but the real MVP of winter driving, windshield wipers are extremely important all year round, especially during the winter months
  • When snow, sleet, hail, etc. are falling at you, you need a good pair of wipers to keep your visibility clear 
  • Examine your blades for breaks, tears, streaking, etc. 
  • If you’ve had your wipers for more than 6 months, it’s a good idea to replace them 
  • If you get a lot of snow, looking into purchase wipers specifically for snow/winter weather

5 Repairs You Should Leave To Certified Technicians | Frederick, MD

Are you the type of driver who likes to take on new challenges? Maybe you’re the only one you trust to work on your precious ride! Well, regardless, we commend you on your independence and ingenuity if you DIY some of your vehicle's regular maintenance needs. But, there really are some jobs that you should leave up to certified trained technicians. Below we have our list of repairs that you should leave to the professionals! Check out our list, and know that if you need service done on your vehicle that the technicians at Younger Nissan are timely, experienced, and up to date on all the latest models and servicing equipment. Schedule your service today and let us get your ride back on the road good as new! 5 Repairs You Should Leave To Certified Technicians Timing-belt replacement: When it comes to many cars the timing-belt replacement is part of a major maintenance visited every 60,000-100,000 miles and is one of the biggest repair bills you’ll end up seeing for your car. Even though it might be tempting to save your money and DIY, DON’T. The potential for damaging your engine is huge! Transmission maintenance or repair: The automatic transmissions contain thousands of small parts and narrow passageways for hydraulic fluid and one grain of sand could wipe out your transmission, so leave this to the professionals. Overheating: With some level of training you could do some cooling-system maintenance but if the engine is already overheated, forget about it! Drivability problems and error codes: When your car doesn’t start, or you have drivability issues like stalling, hesitation, or surging, home mechanics simply don’t have the training to diagnose and troubleshoot. Leave this to the professionals and save yourself money on possible damages. Replacing suspension components: It's impractical and cost-prohibitive for a home mechanic to own some of the specialty equipment needed to get the job done right, while labor costs aren't all that high for typical suspension repairs, so you might as well leave them to the pros
