Can Nissans get engine sludge?

Nissan Altima engine sludge happens when motor oil breaks down, thickens and gathers debris. The goop can damage your engine and lead to overheating. Work to prevent engine sludge by investing in routine oil changes, using Nissan-approved oil, and avoiding short trips.

How does Nissan's recommended maintenance help me?

Yes! Nissan has written a maintenance schedule for your Altima. Since they made your vehicle, they know it well! Your manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule gives you solid guidelines for the frequency of specific services, and it can help you know when to replace certain parts before they cause secondary issues in your car.

What should I tell the technician when I bring my Nissan to the shop?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty Nissan Altima, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.

Nissan Brake Repair Services

Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair. We offer a number of brake repair services for your 1996 Nissan Altima, including brake caliper and wheel cylinder installation, brake fluid bleeding and replacement, brake pad and shoe replacement, and resurfacing of brake rotors and drums. If you’ve noticed brake noises or increased stopping distance, don’t put off brake repairs. It’s simply not safe to be on the road with poorly functioning brakes. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement.

Battery, Starting & Charging Repair for Nissans

It doesn’t matter how your vehicle performs if you can’t start it. Can’t get your Nissan Altima engine to turn over? We can find the issue and take care of it. We’ll start with a thorough check of your battery, alternator, and starter to figure out where the root of your Altima’s electrical problem lies. If we discover an issue with one of those elements, a technician can discuss options for repair services with you, and answer any questions about replacing a bad starter or alternator in your 1996 Nissan Altima.

Nissan Engine Repair Services

One of our lead technicians, Alex, says, "The engine is the lifeblood of America. It’s what moves this country, what built this country.” He's right! Without your engine, your vehicle isn't going anywhere. Engine repairs are one of the most serious 1996 Nissan Altima repair services we perform. We can replace mass air flow sensors, ignition coils, spark plugs and wires, thermostats, and more. Schedule an appointment if you're experiencing problems that could require engine repair.

Nissan Altima Radiator Repair Service

What does a radiator do, anyway? It helps regulate engine temperature. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, your chances of an overheated (and broken down) engine go way up. Keeping the radiator in working order is vital to long-term engine performance. To properly maintain your radiator, you should replace the coolant/antifreeze in your 1996 Nissan Altima at the intervals recommended by Nissan. If you have coolant leaks under your car, an illuminated “low coolant” light, or a higher than usual engine temperature on your dashboard thermometer, these signs could indicate that your radiator needs service.
