Team Nissan

Summer is tough on brakes. Bring in your Nissan and at no cost we will inspect your brake pads, discs and brake fluid for the front and real axles. If you need brakes, we will supply a loaner car at no additional cost.

WARNING SIGNS:

• DRAG - Sticking brakes, hot wheels or engine which seems to have lost power.  Brakes may be failing to release; the condition can reverse itself, leaving you with no brakes at all.
• PULL - Vehicle pulls to one side when brakes are applied.  May be under-inflated tire, maladjusted brakes or brakes are in need of repair.
• HARD PEDAL - Requires extreme pressure to make brakes function.  Can indicate power brake trouble, restricted hydraulic lines, frozen calipers or wheel cylinders, or damaged brake linings
• BRAKE LIGHTS - Red indicates a problem as simple as the parking brake on, or low fluid, to something as serious as a hydraulic system failure.  Yellow indicates deactivation of your ABS system.  While your brakes should work, it does require inspection at the first opportunity.
• VIBRATION - Brake pedal, steering wheel or entire vehicle shakes, vibrates or pulsates when brake is applied.  May indicate need to resurface disc brake rotors - or signal a serious problem of a loose component or faulty steering mechanism.
• SQUEAL - Brakes should operate with a minimal amount of noise.  Some noise is normal but excessive squeal, screech, grinding, groaning, chatter, clatter or bang means your brakes need attention.
• LOW PEDAL - Pedal nearly touches floorboard before brakes function.  May activate your brake warning light.  Problem may require a simple adjustment - or indicate something much more serious.
• GRAB - "Touchy" brakes that grab with the least pressure.  May indicate a problem as simple as grease or oil contaminated linings - or as serious as loose or broken component ready to fail in an emergency.

What could be worse then being on vacation and having the car not start. Bring in your vehicle and we will check the battery at no charge. If you need a battery, we will give you a $20.00 discount when purchased and installed at Team Nissan.
