Dear Patrick,

I just bought a used Nissan Maxima and I plan on caring for this baby for life. Iâ€™m wondering what takes priority for service: the dealerâ€™s schedule, the car companyâ€™s recommended maintenance, or the instrument panel?

Hi Andy,

Congratulations! You have stumbled onto one of the oldest questions known to man. But donâ€™t worry, we know the answer. Thatâ€™s because there are only a few simple things to keep in mind.

First of all: always follow your warning gauges. If it lights up by saying something is wrong, get it looked at. A carâ€™s various sensors are in touch with the current operation of the engine and other components. In addition, they are often programmed to alert owners upon a manufacturerâ€™s recommendations, too.

However, it is valuable to compare and contrast the Nissan repair plans with the sellerâ€™s. Often the two overlap. But sometimes not. We recommend taking the dealerâ€™s advice very seriously, especially on pre-owned vehicles. The mechanics are trained to see what strains it has been through, and they are geniuses at predicting future needs. Nobody can play fortune teller as well as the people who inspected your automobile before purchase.

Hope that clarifies this understandably confusing issue. Let me know if you have more questions.
