The wiper blades are often one of those things that most people overlook until there is a noticeable change in the way they are working. But, like most parts on your vehicle, the wiper blades will wear out, so one of the most important summer maintenance tips for vehicles in Philadelphia is to check and replace worn wiper blades. One of the first signs of wiper blades that are wearing out is they will make a squeaking noise or chatter as they move across the windshield; you can avoid this by simply changing them out every six months or between seasons.

Tire pressure is especially important when driving on the Philadelphia, PA roads during the summer. As the winter temperatures drop, so does the pressure in the tires, which means you probably filled them up to avoid the risk of a flat. Unfortunately, as the weather warms up, the tire pressure can increase as the road heats up, which means the tires may have too much air in them and it can affect your fuel economy as well as the vehicle's drivability. If you aren't comfortable checking the tire pressure or putting in and taking out air, stop by Chapman Nissan of Philadelphia and we'll have a certified technician perform a tire inspection and inflation adjustment at our Tire Center.

The best way to make a Nissan look its best is with a professional car wash and detailing service including the interior and exterior.
