Your Nissan's engine is an advanced piece of engineering, and it requires regular care and attention so it can work to its full potential. Worn or damaged components can result in engine problems, and these problems will grow worse if they're not repaired. These are a few problems that your friendly Nissan dealer can fix for you. more Blocked Catalytic Converter Your engine generates large quantities of toxic gases during the combustion process. These chemicals would increase airborne pollution, so they need to be rendered safe before they're expelled from your car. The catalytic converter's job is to convert these chemicals into water and harmless gases, which can then safely flow into the exhaust pipe. The converter uses chemical reactions, extreme temperatures, and high pressure to break down harmful chemicals. Carbon is released as a byproduct of the conversion process, and it can build up in the converter. The carbon buildup can block the converter, forcing the gases back into your engine. The excess gases will decrease fuel economy and can prevent your engine from starting. We can easily clear the blockage to fix this problem. Clogged Radiator The radiator's function is to remove the heat generated by your engine and replace it with cooler outside air. Liquid coolant in the engine absorbs heat from the moving parts and transfers the heat to the radiator. The coolant enters the radiator and flows into rows of thin aluminum tubes. Air flows in through the radiator grille and across the tubes. This air movement removes the heat from the coolant, and the coolant recirculates through your engine. Coolant also absorbs rust particles, dirt, and other minute debris inside the engine. This debris is deposited at the bottom of the radiator when the coolant flows out. Over time, this debris will build up and block the radiator tubes, hoses, and other components. These blockages prevent the radiator from removing heat and your engine can overheat. We can flush your radiator to fix this problem and remove any blockage. Damaged Sensors Your Nissan has a computer that controls your car's functions. The computer makes driving safer and easier, allowing you to focus on the road ahead and enjoy the benefits of your car. The computer is connected to a multitude of sensors that monitor all your car's essential components. These sensors continuously relay information to the computer. Sensors can fail like any other component. A failed sensor won't transmit information to the computer, which forces your computer to make decisions with insufficient information. This can lead to a variety of problems including engine timing problems, increased fuel usage, and even permanent engine damage. We will test the sensors and replace any damaged ones. If you experience any problems with your engine, contact us right away at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers.

Car batteries usually last from three to five years, which means you'll have to replace your battery quite a few times over the lifespan of your Nissan. If you learn to identify the warning signs of a dying battery early on, you'll avoid awkward problems that a bad battery can cause, such as being stranded somewhere and unable to start your car. The following issues should prompt a quick visit to your nearest Nissan dealership for a new car battery. more Your Engine Won't Start When your engine is slow to start or refuses to start in the morning, it usually means one of three things: you drained the battery by leaving your headlights on overnight, your battery has died of old age, or your alternator has stopped recharging the battery properly. Jumpstarting your car will shed light on the cause. If the engine starts working well and the headlights also come on, then you probably left the headlights on overnight. If the engine's working well and keeps on running, your alternator is fine and your battery might need replacing. If your engine dies quickly after being jumpstarted, the alternator is most likely malfunctioning. Your Electronics Fail When the Engine's Off When charging properly and transmitting voltage well, your battery should keep the electronics in your car powered for several hours with the engine turned off. So if you find that your headlights and other electrical components are losing significant power as soon as you turn off the engine, something's wrong with your battery. Your Dashboard Battery Light Comes On Most battery problems or other electrical issues will cause the battery light to light up on your dashboard. This light may point to a variety of electrical problems. A technician can diagnose and repair the underlying problem for you. Your Battery's Warped or Corroded Age, heat, cold, and vibrations can all cause a battery to break down over time. Sometimes a worn-out battery's casing will begin to warp out of shape and the connectors may show signs of corrosion. If your battery looks damaged in these ways, it's time for a new one. You Smell Rotten Eggs When seriously warped, a battery's casing can sometimes crack open, allowing battery acid to leak out. This creates a strong sulfury smell, similar to that of rotten eggs, which you might smell in the cabin. A cracked and leaking battery most definitely needs to be replaced. How a Nissan Dealer Can Test Your Battery When your battery reaches three years of age, it's a good idea to start having it tested at your local dealership whenever you go in for an oil change. The technician can carry out various tests such as multimeter testing, conductance testing, and refractometer testing to see whether your battery's working well or it's on its last legs. Visit Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers today to have your battery replaced. We have over 600 new Nissan vehicles in our inventory and a nationally ranked-service department to fix battery issues and any other problems your car might have.

If you love your Nissan, then you should think about proper care and maintenance. At Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers, IN, we want to ensure that our customers have all the information they need to care for their vehicles. Here are five Nissan maintenance tips from your friendly Nissan dealer. 1. Change Your Oil Frequently You may be wondering how often you should change your oil. The truth is, there isn't really a straight answer. How frequently you will need an oil change depends on how you drive, your car, and various other factors. However, one thing you should know is that changing your oil too soon won't impact your vehicle, but waiting too long can damage your engine. Furthermore, you can void your warranty if you do not follow your service plan. more 2. Check Your Tire Treading and Pressure Tire care is an important part of maintaining a reliable vehicle. Fortunately, you can easily check the tread of your tires using the penny method, and checking the pressure isn't hard either. Do this regularly to ensure that your tires stay in good condition, and when it's time for a change, contact your local dealership for quality tires and great service. 3. Keep Your Nissan Clean You want your car to run well, but we know that you also want to keep it looking nice, too. You can keep the paint, finish, and interior in good condition by regularly cleaning and waxing. Many things that find their way onto your vehicle can be corrosive, and waxing helps to provide a protective barrier. Also, nothing feels better than driving a clean and freshly waxed Nissan. 4. Use Quality Products Before you get around to cleaning your Nissan, make sure that you are using quality products that are designed for the materials you are detailing. If you take your Nissan in for detailing, ensure that the service you use does this too. Products that aren't made for your vehicle can damage the materials, and the last thing you want is a rough-looking car. 5. See Your Nissan Dealer for Inspections and Tune-Ups The best way that you can care for your Nissan is by taking it to someone you trust for inspection and tune-ups. Regular maintenance will keep your Nissan running smoothly so that you have a reliable vehicle for years to come. However, you want to ensure that the work is done by a technician who knows what they are doing. Otherwise, the quality of your service may suffer. At your local dealership, you will have access to technicians who are specially trained to work with your vehicle. If you are looking for a quality car, or if you need to bring your Nissan in for service, we would be happy to help. Contact us today at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers, and we can help you with any of your automotive needs.

So, you've just driven off the lot in your new Nissan. You're all ready to go on your first adventure out on the open road, right? Well, not quite. You want to be prepared for anything that might happen while you're out driving, and one of the best ways to ensure you're ready is to have a car first aid kit prepared. But what should you have in your kit? Take a look at our list for some essentials. more 1. Antiseptic Wash You aren't going to have access to soap or running water when you're out driving. That's why it's important to have something in your first aid kit to clean wounds with, like a bottle of antiseptic wash. Properly cleaning a wound as soon as possible will leave you less likely to contract an infection and can stop an injury from turning into an even more serious concern later on down the line. 2. Antibiotic Ointment Just like the antiseptic wash, having some antibiotic ointment on hand can help you treat wounds properly. Look for antibiotics such as bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin, which are sometimes sold under brand names rather than their generic names. You might also see a triple ointment that contains all three of these antibiotics. Apply these topical ointments to a bandage before treating a wound to reduce the chance of any infection. 3. Adhesive Bandages Just as important as being able to properly clean a wound is to be able to cover one with the right bandages. These can help stop the flow of blood, protect a wound from the elements, and be used to apply products used to clean wounds. Look for bandages with wings that help to bind the two sides of a wound together. You may also want to look for waterproof bandages or bandages with antibiotic creams pre-applied. 4. Instant Cold Packs Many different kinds of injuries can benefit from being put on ice. The cold can decrease soreness and swelling from a bruise or other impact injury and can also reduce irritation from a rash or bite. Since carrying around actual ice packs in your car isn't feasible, instant ice packs are the next best thing. Make sure to have a few extras since each pack is only good for one use. 5. Tourniquet While bandages are enough to deal with small cuts and scrapes, a more serious laceration is going to need more serious treatment. A tourniquet can be used to help staunch blood flow from a serious cut until more lasting treatment can be applied by a first aid professional. The extra time a tourniquet gives to find treatment for a wound can be a real lifesaver. With these tips, you're well on your way to being all stocked up for your next trip, no matter what happens. To make sure your car is running smoothly before you hit the road, come see our service team. Visit us at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers today! Image courtesy of Roger Brown via Pexels

Can you hear a rattling sound from under your car? Have you noticed a rotten-egg smell in the cabin? These are just two of the signs that your catalytic converter is having trouble. If you notice a problem with your cat, visit your local Nissan dealer for repairs as soon as possible. more How a Faulty Cat Affects Your Car Your converter's job is to clean the toxic emissions of your engine, turning them into less harmful gases. When a cat malfunctions, it often becomes clogged up. This clogging immediately restricts the airflow into the front of the car, causing the engine performance to drop. When the outflow of a vehicle's exhaust is blocked for any length of time, it creates a massive buildup of heat and pressure. Eventually, a clogged cat will cause serious damage to the exhaust manifold, the vehicle's underbody, and even the engine itself. Five Signs of a Malfunctioning Cat It's unwise to drive for long with a faulty cat. Any of the following five indicators of trouble should prompt you to visit your local technician. You Smell Rotten Eggs The infamous rotten-egg smell that a broken cat creates is due to a toxic emission called hydrogen sulfide. When a converter stops doing its job, this gas escapes from the exhaust, and you'll often smell it in your cabin. You Hear Rattling Under Your Car Converters are filled with a meshwork of complex materials and precious metals. When dented or jolted too hard, these innards can break up and come loose. You'll then hear them rattling quietly around when you drive. You're Idling Roughly As a broken cat blocks the vehicle's essential airflow, the engine can no longer draw in as much oxygen. This starves the combustion chambers of air, unbalancing the delicate fuel-air mixture. You'll probably first notice this when your car's engine starts sputtering and juddering while you're sitting idle. You're Accelerating Too Slowly As your engine's performance drops, you'll also notice less powerful acceleration. This becomes worryingly apparent when you're trying to overtake another vehicle or cross an intersection quickly. Your Gas Mileage Is Dropping When starved of oxygen, an engine burns fuel less efficiently. As a result, you'll find the dial on your dashboard's fuel gauge dropping surprisingly quickly. And you'll need to refill your tank more often. How a Nissan Dealer Inspects Your Cat As it can be tricky to diagnose a malfunctioning cat, it's often best to have a technician do it for you. An experienced technician can use special techniques and tools, such as a pyrometer, to check the heat and pressure unwind of the converter. They can also remove the brackets, sensors, covers, heat shield, and the cat itself, to examine everything inside and out. Have your cat repaired or replaced today at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers.

Part of being a responsible car owner is keeping up with your vehicle's maintenance. There are a few important things that your local Nissan dealer wants you to know about fall car maintenance. Here's everything you need to know to keep your car in good shape. more Check Your Tires You should be checking your tires year-round—about once a month, ideally. You need to be even more diligent about checking them when transitional seasons like spring and fall come around. As the seasons change, the air pressure outside changes as well, and this will affect your tires. You'll need to check their pressure a little more regularly during the fall for this reason. Don't forget to also take a look at their treads and have them rotated or replaced as needed. Check Your Battery As the air cools down with the approach of winter, your battery could be affected. Most car batteries last around 3 to 5 years before needing to be replaced, so you should be checking it at least annually.   The fall is a great time to do this. If it turns out that your battery needs to be replaced because it's old or showing signs of damage, you'll be able to get this done before the cold really kicks in which could cause further issues for an old or defective battery. Test Your Wiper Blades The wiper blades on your car will generally last a few years. If it's been a while since you last replaced them, then it's time to take a look at them.   If your wiper blades do need to be replaced, then make sure you do that right away. You'll want them functioning fully when the snow hits so you don't lose visibility on the road. Get Your Oil Changed You should get your vehicle's engine oil changed around every 3,000 to 6,000 miles to keep your car running smoothly. This usually works out to about twice a year. When you're doing your fall maintenance, this is a great opportunity for you to get your oil changed.   You should always visit your dealership to have this done. They'll make sure that your oil change is done correctly, and they can inspect other parts of your car at the same time if you bring it in for servicing. This will ensure that your car is safe to drive and in good condition.   Your car's fall maintenance is an important part of its maintenance schedule. As the seasons change, keep the above tips in mind to ensure you're taking good care of your car. If it's time for service, visit us at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers.

A car air filter prevents dirt, debris, and other harmful contaminants from reaching the engine, allowing the clean air to flow through. Over time, the filter gets blocked, reduces airflow, affects your car's performance, and even damages your engine. Below are ways to tell if your vehicle needs a new air filter from your Nissan dealer. Does Your Nissan Need a New Car Air Filter From Your Nissan Dealer? more The Check Engine Light Is On A clogged and dirty air filter will prevent an adequate amount of clean air from flowing through to the engine, disrupting the air and fuel mix. Deposits will accumulate on the engine, and your vehicle will have performance issues, causing the check engine light to go on. Never ignore dashboard warning lights, especially the check engine light, to avoid further damage and hefty repair costs. When you notice illuminated dashboard warning lights, ask your Nissan technician to perform a thorough vehicle inspection as soon as possible. Your Car Guzzles Gas If you notice that your car uses a lot of gas, the air filter might be the cause. Poor gas mileage is one of the most common symptoms of a clogged air filter. Your car is guzzling gas because a dirty air filter prevents airflow, decreasing the amount of oxygen to the engine. When your Nissan technician replaces the air filter, it will quickly sort out your car's poor gas mileage. It's Hard To Start Your Car, and It Idles Roughly When the airflow to the engine is reduced, it causes an increase in unburned fuel, which turns into a soot residue. The soot will foul the spark plugs and prevent a proper spark. You will find it hard to start your car, and it will idle roughly. If hard starts and rough idling is not enough of a concern, the clogged air filter will cause your vehicle to shake and vibrate. In some instances, your engine will misfire. It's best to ask your Nissan technician to fix the problem fast before it causes more damage and high repair costs. Your Car Is Slow and Sluggish When the air filter is dirty and blocked, your engine doesn't get an adequate amount of clean air. The reduction in airflow will affect your car's engine performance, and you will experience a loss of power. When you step on the gas pedal, your vehicle will be slow to respond and feel sluggish. When your Nissan technician replaces the clogged air filter with a new one, it will immediately increase your car's performance. You Hear Noises From Under the Hood A clogged air filter might be the culprit when strange coughing, popping, and sputtering sounds come from under the hood. When your car's air filter is clogged, it reduces the airflow to the combustion chamber, and you will start to hear strange noises. You See Black Smoke Coming Out of the Tailpipe A dirty air filter causes an improper air-fuel mixture. Black smoke will come out of your car's tailpipe when the fuel is not burned properly. Ask your Nissan technician to replace the air filter to sort out the problem. An air filter replacement is recommended every 10,000 to 15,000 miles or once a year. If you drive your car in heavy traffic or on dusty roads, replace the air filter more often to ensure optimal engine performance. Contact Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers today to schedule a filter replacement. Our qualified Nissan technicians will perform a thorough vehicle inspection to ensure that your Nissan is in tip-top shape. image courtesy of pexels.com

Your alternator is a relatively simple component with only a few parts, but it plays a vital role in your car's operations. From the time your engine starts to the time you switch it off, your alternator produces and supplies all of the electrical power your car's systems demand. Alternators are fairly rugged, but they can wear out or components connected to them can fail. When you need an alternator repair, as your Nissan dealer, we can help you. 4 Signs Your Nissan Could Use an Alternator Repair at Your Nissan Dealer more Blown Fuse Your alternator, like all the electrical components in your car, has a fuse. Just like a fuse in your house can fail, a car fuse can too. If the fuse blows, the alternator will immediately switch off. Your alternator is responsible for supplying all the electrical power to your car, and without it, that task falls to your battery. A battery isn't capable of supplying all the power your car demands, and this will cause the battery to die. Damaged Wires Your alternator may be working perfectly, but the power it produces has to be transferred to the components that need it. A system of wires and cables snake through your car as conduits for this electricity. The wires and cables are protected by rubber coatings, but one of them can suffer damage. A damaged wire can cut off power to one or more of your car's components. Your alternator will continue to try and supply electricity through the damaged wire, and this will cause the wire to heat up and give off a burning smell. If you smell burning wiring, call our service department and we'll find the damaged wiring and replace it. Damaged Belts The alternator or serpentine belt connects your crankshaft to several pulleys. As the crankshaft turns when you drive, the alternator belt runs through the pulleys at high speed and this causes each pulley to spin. As the pullies spin, they provide power to the engine parts connected to them. The alternator belt is made from tough reinforced rubber, but if the belt is not regularly serviced it can develop problems. The belt runs at a high speed, and over time this movement can cause the belt to loosen slightly. A loose belt will suffer extra friction, and this can cause it to heat up. If you smell burning rubber from your engine, you may have a damaged alternator belt. Dim Headlights When an alternator gets weaker, it cant produce as much electricity as your car requires. To compensate for the reduced power supply, the alternator will shift power between components. Dim headlights are a sign that your alternator is struggling to supply power, and can only provide the minimum for the headlights to work. Alternators never just fail, there are always numerous signs that something isn't working right. If you experience any problem with your alternator, call our service department at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers, and our technicians will fix it. image courtesy of pexels.com

Nissan vehicles will keep you and your family safe and in motion for many years to come. However, you will need to keep your eyes and ears open for signs that tell you to take your vehicle to your Nissan dealer for maintenance. Here are the signs you may need a transmission repair. 8 Signs Your Nissan Needs a Transmission Repair more 1. You Have Trouble Switching Gears If you notice your transmission seems to grind or if it struggles to change gears, get this checked as soon as possible. This can mean your transmission fluid is old or low. 2. You Hear Strange Noises If you hear strange noises when your vehicle is sitting in neutral, you need to get this looked at immediately. These noises can mean that you have dirty transmission fluid, which is easily fixed with a transmission flush. However, noises could also indicate your transmission has further damage that would require more work. 3. You Smell Burning If you smell a burning odor, see your mechanic right away. This burning smell can mean that your transmission fluid is old and no longer being used properly. It could also mean your transmission is overheating from use, which could lead to further repairs. 4. You Notice Leaking Fluid Look at the area underneath where you commonly park occasionally. If you notice red or sweet-smelling fluid, consult your mechanic as soon as possible. You likely have a leak that needs to be fixed. 5. You Notice Your Gears Slipping If you notice your engine revving up for a gear change when it's not time to switch gears, or you can feel the gears slipping, you need to get this checked out immediately. It can be very dangerous to drive with slipping gears! Plus, the longer you leave the repair, the more extensive and costly it will be. 6. Your Check Engine Light Comes On If your check engine light comes on, it means something is malfunctioning in your vehicle, which needs attention as soon as possible. Usually, there will only be a minor issue with your vehicle, such as low fluid. But occasionally it can mean your transmission is failing or something else serious. 7. Your Gears Won't Change at All If you're attempting to change gears but your vehicle remains unresponsive, this is a sign there's something wrong with your transmission. This mostly occurs when you try to change from park to drive. Don't force your vehicle into another gear and get it checked soon. 8. Your Nissan Dealer Says You Need It They will probably check your transmission and fluid levels during your general maintenance appointments at your dealership. Your mechanic will flush and replace fluid as needed and let you know if you need repairs done on your transmission.

The radiator in your Nissan keeps the components cool and prevents overheating to ensure that your engine runs at ideal temperatures. A faulty radiator could cause severe damage to the engine and other essential vehicle components. If your Nissan is overheating, leaking coolant, your radiator is rusty, or you see smoke, schedule an appointment for a radiator repair at your Anderson, IN, Nissan dealer asap. Does Your Nissan Need a Radiator Repair From Your Anderson, IN, Nissan Dealer? more Overheating Your vehicle's cooling system consists of a radiator, a water pump, and a thermostat, and when any of these parts malfunctions or breaks, your car will overheat. A faulty radiator could cause a consistently high temperature, and a defective radiator fan will cause your Nissan to overheat while idling. When you drive the same distances and your car suddenly starts to overheat, it could be a  faulty thermostat or low coolant levels. If you notice your Nissan is overheating, pull over immediately and wait for your car to cool down. Whatever the cause of the problem, you need to get your vehicle to your Nissan technician fast before the issue escalates and causes severe damage to the engine. Leaking Coolant Your car will overheat if there is not enough coolant to keep the engine at the correct temperature. If you have to top off the coolant more often or if you see bright green, orange, pink, or yellow puddles on the ground under your car, you've got a coolant leak. It could be a hose or the radiator itself leaking coolant. Ask your Nissan technician to inspect your vehicle and fix the leak to avoid further damage. Dirty Coolant Coolant doesn't last forever and must be replaced at the recommended intervals. When coolant gets old, it becomes discolored and thick. If you notice that the coolant is not a bright color but discolored and brownish and of a thicker consistency, it's contaminated with debris. The dirty coolant will not flow freely through the system, clog up the radiator, and eventually cause your car to overheat. Rusty Radiator If you wonder why your coolant is contaminated and a brownish color, rust could be the culprit. Rust plays havoc with your vehicle's cooling system. When the coolant is dirty, it can't perform the task of cooling, and your car will overheat. Rust will also create holes that cause leaks, resulting in low coolant levels that also cause overheating. Clogged Radiator Fins The radiator fins carry hot coolant, and airflow cools it down. When your radiator fins are clogged with road dirt and debris or damaged by bugs and stones, it prevents the air from flowing freely through the system. When the air is prevented from flowing through to cool down the temperature, your car will overheat. Smoke From Under the Hood Your vehicle's radiator cools down vital components and ensures that the engine operates at ideal temperatures. When the radiator is faulty, it can't cool down the fluid and lower the temperature, causing heat and even burning. Smoke billowing out from under the hood is never a good sign. It means the radiator is too hot and not cooling down the engine and other vital parts. Stop in a safe place and wait for your car to cool down. Call your Nissan technician immediately. Act fast if you notice your car is overheating and get the problem fixed by a qualified Nissan technician to avoid further damage and costly repairs and replacements. Contact Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers today for a radiator service appointment. Our skilled Nissan technicians will ensure that your vehicle's radiator is in perfect working condition. image courtesy of pexels.com

An oil change is one of the most important auto services you need to get on a regular basis. If you leave old oil in the engine for too long, it can become gritty and sludgy, causing all sorts of issues with the engine and reducing your fuel economy, too. Fresh oil helps to revitalize the system and keeps the engine running smoothly, and the best place to get a Nissan oil change is at your local Nissan dealer in Anderson, IN. Here are a few reasons why. 3 Reasons to Get Your Nissan Oil Change at the Nissan Dealership in Anderson, IN more 1. True Nissan Experts When you need an oil change or any other kind of auto service, you have the choice between visiting the dealership or seeking the services of independent mechanics and auto shops. One of the big advantages of the dealership is that dealer mechanics spend all of their time working exclusively on Nissan vehicles, so they're true experts when it comes to the Nissan brand. These mechanics know their way around every single model of Nissan car, so they'll be able to provide you with the most accurate information and reliable advice regarding oil changes for your specific vehicle. Independent mechanics work on lots of different makes and models, so they won't necessarily be able to answer your questions with the same level of authority and expertise. 2. Extra Services Another big benefit of heading to the dealer for oil changes is that dealership mechanics will often provide you with a range of bonus services or offer you various extra options, such as tire rotations, multi-point inspections, headlight checks, air filter replacements, battery diagnostics, and so on. You can basically get a full check-up of your vehicle, right there and then. Often, if you head to an independent auto shop, they'll simply provide you with the bare minimum level of service, changing your oil and sending you on your way. At the dealer, you can enjoy all of those extra services that will help to keep your car in perfect condition and provide you with additional peace of mind before you drive away. 3. Faster and More Convenient Getting an oil change for your car isn't exactly the most exciting process, and many people naturally want to get it done as quickly and conveniently as possible. Well, if you go to the dealer, you'll be sure of a rapid, convenient service at a time and date that works for you. Dealership mechanics can usually complete an oil change in less than an hour, getting you back on the road without any delay. Independent mechanics and auto shops often have busier schedules and can sometimes take on more work than they can handle, leading to delays and inconveniences for their customers. So, if you choose an oil change with a local auto shop, you might find that the process takes much longer than you expected, and you could have to cope without your car for several hours or even a couple of days. As you can see, there are several big benefits to choosing the dealership for your next oil change.
