With buying a new car, you get a certain amount of maintenance and support from your dealer in Singapore and with an EV, you shouldn’t need to deal with this! Yes, it is true. The rumors are true and having an EV really saves a lot of maintenance and headaches related to maintenance issues. An electric battery will be the biggest part of the vehicle you would need to worry about.
I have a Nissan Leaf and with my current dealer, I’ve finished all the free maintenance with them and this is the biggest headache I had. Going back to them cost a bomb and they don’t seem to do much with the car. Some contact cleaning, topping up my wiper fluid, changing the brake fluid, and checking parts of the vehicle I could do on my own is basically it. I’ve changed my vehicle tires once and they are working great for me even with third-party tires. You do need to check that the tires are able to withstand the weight of the car which is the biggest difference with going to get your own tires. I also didn’t find that the range has been affected by the new set of tires. What affected me the most was the degradation of the battery. Every year it seems to decrease by 10km of range, use this guide to purchase your next vehicle if you are planning to keep the vehicle for 10 years or the life of your vehicle.
My experience with Autolution was mediocre at best and I would say that I’ll only go back if I need to get parts unique to the Nissan Leaf, it is good to have a dealer in town that can make sure you get your car parts and that was the biggest reason why I bought this car. The stability of a dealer that will be able to buy the parts for you if you need them.
I’ll attempt to put the list of servicing information below for you to reference if you are looking to do servicing for your Nissan Leaf or your Nissan Leaf purchase.
