2011 Nissan Leaf Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Nissan Leaf, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Leaf has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Leaf, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2011 Nissan Leaf!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Nissan themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Leaf running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2011 Nissan Leaf problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 Nissan Leaf for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Leaf’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2011 Nissan Leaf. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Leaf may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Nissan Leaf battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Leaf) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Nissan Leaf could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Maintaining your Nissan Leaf steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Nissan Leaf suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Nissan Leaf's steering system with regular maintenance.
