2008 Nissan Xterra Tires, Repair & Service

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Nissan Xterra tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Nissan Xterra tires online.

Firestone Complete Auto Care installs more tires on more cars than most other companies. We're your tire shop and a complete service center for tire installation, maintenance, repair, rotation, and alignment! Shop 2008 Nissan Xterra tires online and schedule an installation appointment.

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2008 Nissan Xterra drivetrain components Your Xterra might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Nissan Xterra’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Nissan intended. Bring your 2008 Nissan Xterra in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Nissan’s recommended measurements.

If your 2008 Nissan Xterra needs engine repair, our technicians will make sure you understand what’s going on before they start working on your engine.

We want to provide you with the information you need to make an informed engine repair decision. Choose Firestone Complete Auto Care for Nissan Xterra engine repairs and you can feel good knowing that we only use Nissan-compliant replacement parts such as the timing chain or belt, valve guide seal, ignition coil, or other parts.

If your 2008 Nissan Xterra is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back. There’s a chance your tire could be plugged and patched (rather than replaced). Our technicians can inspect your tire and let you know if it is safe to repair. We’ll begin by taking a look at where the damage is, the type and extent of the tire damage, and how all of your tires are wearing.

If your 2008 Nissan Xterra tire puncture can be repaired, the repair process is actually fairly simple: (1) Separate the tire from the vehicle wheel, (2) fill in the area that’s been punctured to prevent damage from moisture, and (3) secure and seal the inner tire liner to ensure the tire is airtight.

It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Xterra maintenance.

Your 2008 Xterra’s oil should be changed according to Nissan’s recommended oil change intervals. Your Xterra may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Nissan recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

When you first bought your 2008 Nissan Xterra, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough.

We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Xterra suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance.

Our technicians know how to service your 2008 Xterra up to Nissan-recommended standards. If you think there’s something wrong with your Xterra’s transmission, schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we perform a multi-point Courtesy Check during any vehicle service. The technician will begin by testing your Nissan Xterra's battery to see how much charge it has left – and determine if it may fail in the near future. We’ll follow the battery inspection with a visual check of your Nissan Xterra’s windshield wiper blades, lights, filters, alignment, tires, hoses, belts and fluid levels.

Every service performed at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care will include a Courtesy Check, but you can also request a Complete Vehicle Inspection for your 2008 Nissan Xterra if you suspect there may be a bigger problem. A Complete Vehicle Inspection includes everything in a Courtesy Check, plus a hands-on examination of your steering and suspension system, brakes, and exhaust components. The goal of this type of inspection is to unearth significant issues that might require preventative maintenance.

Depending on where you live, you may be able to complete your vehicle’s safety tests or state inspection at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care. Inspections are performed on a state-by-state basis and requirements vary.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2008 Nissan Xterra is essential for long-term engine health. Nissan recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light.

If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Nissan Xterra’s cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks. When it comes to radiator service and repair, we’re here to give your 2008 Nissan Xterra the top-notch service it needs.
