Frequently Asked Service Questions

Our service department covers many different routines, preventive and repair services. It’s important that you have routine work done to your vehicle. This will protect its integrity and keep it running reliably. We complete oil changes, tire rotations, alignments, brake service, and recall work, among many other jobs. If you need routine maintenance completed on your vehicle or suspect that there is a problem with your vehicle, visit Crest Nissan to schedule an appointment.

Tires should be replaced on your vehicle when you notice that your current set is starting to break down or wear down. You’ll also want to watch out for cracks in the rubber or uneven tread wear. For example, you can use the tread test to determine if your tread is getting too low. Place a penny upside-down inside the tread. If you can see any of Lincoln’s head, then you’re getting close to needing new tires.

Ideally, we always recommend getting an oil change approximately every 5,000 to 10,000 miles driven or once every 6 months. The frequency of an oil change really depends on the make and model of vehicle you are driving, the type of oil that you are currently using in your vehicle, how often you drive your vehicle and the type of conditions or terrain you’re driving in. You should check your owner’s manual first, to find the oil change frequency for your specific vehicle. Our technicians can make sure you get started on the right service schedule when it comes to oil changes.

When a manufacturer issues a recall for a specific make and model of vehicle, you are not liable to pay for anything relating to the service appointment. Any parts that are needed for the recall will be provided by the manufacturer of your vehicle. The labor at our service department is also taken care of by the manufacturer.

It’s a good idea to contact our service center to schedule routine maintenance or a repair job. Please refer to our website for our service hours. You can stop in during those hours to see what type of maintenance your vehicle needs. If you're unsure about our hours, feel free to call us to confirm.

Depends on your warranty type. Eg, warranty for a brand-new car vs certified-preowned may vary. A warranty is designed to cover the majority of your repairs and service, but there will be work that isn’t covered. Generally, this includes normal wear and tear. Check with our service team to find out if your needed repair is going to cost you anything.
