The air filter prevents dirt and debris from entering your engine.
Why perform service?

The paper pleats provide a large surface area and are coated with a light layer of oil to more effectively filter the air. INFINITI air filters are competitively priced when compared to filters of similar quality.
ALIGNMENT
Purpose - safety and performance
During a wheel alignment we adjust the wheels so they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. This helps the vehicle track straight and true, and also increases tire life.
Why perform service?
Alignment issues can be caused by worn suspension parts or impact with road hazards such as potholes or curbs. Improper alignment can cause excessive tire wear and steering or tracking issues. By aligning and inspecting your suspension components today we can improve handling, extend the life of your tires and reduce overall vehicle repair costs.
BATTERY TESTING
Purpose - reliability and safety
Your battery supplies electricity to the starter motor and other essential components such as brake lights and accessories. You want your battery to be ready to go whenever you are and not leave you unexpectedly stranded. Batteries never fail at a convenient time.
Why perform service?
As batteries age, chemical changes occur inside. It is difficult to determine if the battery is close to the point of failure unless a battery test is performed. Testing the battery now gives you a snapshot of its condition, so you know if it's close to failure and needs to be replaced.

BRAKE PADS
Purpose - safety
Your brakes are an essential part of your vehicle's safety systems; the pressure of the brake pads against the rotor stops your vehicle. You'll want those brakes to provide maximum stopping power for you and your family.
Why perform service?
If worn pads aren't replaced, the metal backing on the pad could damage the rotor, and that can easily multiply the cost of the repair. Replacing your brake pads today could prevent a more expensive and unnecessary repair.
Genuine INFINITI Parts

IN-CABIN MICRO FILTER
Purpose: comfort
Your In-cabin Microfilter helps prevent road dust, pollen and other allergens or pollutants from entering your vehicle and contaminating the air you breathe. It also filters re-circulated air to help keep it clean. If your vehicle is not already equipped with an In-cabin Microfilter you should consider having one installed.
Why perform service?
Eventually your In-cabin Microfilter will fill up with dust, pollen and other pollutants. INFINITI recommends replacing your In-cabin Microfilter every 12 months or 15,000 miles.
Genuine INFINITI parts
Genuine INFINITI In-cabin Microfilters can give you peace of mind - knowing that you are using quality parts specifically designed to increase the air quality in your vehicle. And they are competitively priced.
TIRE REPLACEMENT
Purpose - safety and handling
Properly inflated tires with good tread depth improve traction, handling and fuel economy.
Why perform service?
The wear on your tires has exceeded the manufacturer's specifications and may cause poor handling. Replacing your tires today will increase your vehicle's safety and reliability and also reduce your overall operating costs.
TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACEMENT
Purpose: reliability
Transmission fluid lubricates the internal parts of your transmission. It also cleans, inhibits corrosion and cools the transmission.
Why perform service?
INFINITI recommends replacing your transmission fluid at regular intervals to maintain the performance and increase the life of your transmission. It also helps reduce the chance of transmission failure. Ignoring recommended transmission fluid replacement intervals may cause improper shifting or shorten the transmission's life.
A/C SERVICE
Purpose - Comfort
Your A/C System cools the vehicle, and also improves the defrost cycle because it removes moisture from the air.
Why perform service?
The A/C uses refrigerant to cool the incoming air. The refrigerant also contains oil that lubricates the system's moving parts. Over time refrigerant loses its effectiveness. By inspecting and recharging the system we can help ensure that your A/C provides cool comfortable air and defrost when you need it. Servicing your A/C system now can also help prevent major component failure and costly repairs in the future.
ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
Purpose: Engine Oil:
- Lubricates and decreases wear
- Cleans
- Inhibits corrosion
- Improves sealing
- Helps cool the engine
Filter:
Screens out small metallic particles that are normal byproducts of engine wear.
Why perform service?
The oil filter eventually gets dirty and the oil can become contaminated. Changing both the oil and filter at the recommended mileage helps reduce the chance of engine failure and vehicle operational costs.
Genuine INFINITI parts
INFINITI oil filters have:
- More paper pleats - More paper pleats provide a larger surface area to filter out contaminants.
- Rubber seals - Rubber seals are more effective than the paper seals used on some aftermarket filters and help prevent oil from bypassing the filter element.
- An anti-drain-back valve - The anti drain-back valve helps prevent engine wear when starting, by holding oil in the filter when the engine is off.
- A pressure overflow valve - The pressure overflow valve will activate, should the filter become clogged, and will allow continuous oil flow to the engine.
- Longer threads - Even with all these features, our oil filters are competitively priced compared to other filters of similar quality.
BRAKE FLUID
Purpose - safety
Brake fluid is part of a system that transfers pressure from the brake pedal to the brake calipers at each wheel.
Why perform service?
Brake fluid attracts moisture. Over time moisture in the system can corrode brake components. Moisture can decrease braking efficiency. Replacing your fluid today will help keep your brake system operating efficiently and provide you with peace of mind knowing your brakes will be there when you need them.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Purpose: Reliability
Your engine's cooling system circulates coolant throughout the engine and radiator to keep the engine cool.
Why perform service?
Over time your engine's coolant becomes contaminated and cooling system components wear. Replacing your coolant and any worn components will help prevent overheating and maximize the life of your engine.
SHOCKS & STRUTS REPLACEMENT
Purpose: Safety and handling
Shocks and struts allow your vehicle to ride smoothly over bumps and increase stability on rough roads.
Why perform service?
When shocks and struts wear, they lose their ability to absorb irregularities in the road. The tie rods, control arms and bushings that hold them in place can also become damaged. Replacing your shocks and struts when necessary will improve ride quality and protect your other suspension components.
TIRE ROTATION
Purpose: safety and handling
Drive tires typically wear faster than non-drive tires because they are doing more work. This causes uneven wear between your front and rear tires.
Why perform service?
Rotating your tires regularly evens out the wear between the front and the rear tires so you can get the most mileage possible from the set. Uneven tire wear also puts strain on your shock, struts and other suspension components. Your front tires are worn at least 2 mm more than the rear, so rotating your tires now will help your tires last longer, improve handling and ride quality and reduce the overall repair and operating costs for your vehicle.
WIPER BLADES
Purpose: safety
Wiper blades are the rubber strips that wipe off water and debris from your windshield so you have a clear view of the road.
Why perform service?
Over time the rubber blades can split, tear or get hard and brittle. Worn wiper blades can chatter, streak or just do a poor job cleaning the windshield. Replacing your wiper blades at regular intervals, such as every six months, helps ensure that you have a clear view of the road at all times. Having your wiper blades replaced today is convenient and you won't have to worry about their effectiveness next time you need them.
