Every car owner should know the importance of routine maintenance, but it's not always easy to remember to keep up with what needs to be done. If you're trying to make the most of your investment in a new vehicle, a maintenance plan can help. There are several prepaid maintenance plans available for your new INFINITI, and you can learn more about your options available at Redwood City INFINITI to help you make the best decision. more What's Does a Prepaid Maintenance Plan Include? When you buy a new INFINITI that's a 2023 model or later, you automatically get INFINITI Premium Care. It's a new incentive created by INFINITI to give back to our customers that includes: Oil Changes Tire Rotation Inspections Brake Fluid Changes In-Cabin Air Filter Changes Tire Road Hazard Car Rental Assistance INFINITI Premium Care lasts for three years after the purchase date and covers all of the above maintenance needs. Included services can vary by model, so be sure to ask at the time of purchasing your new INFINITI to see what's included.

Available Maintenance Plans What if you're looking at a new 2022 INFINITI that doesn't include Premium Care? In that case, you can purchase a similar plan or one with even more perks. For example, our general Maintenance Plan includes everything that Premium Care does, but there are other options if you want more coverage. Select Care is great for services that aren't included in the warranty or maintenance plan, like wiper blades and fuses. Plus, it includes emergency roadside service and rental reimbursement in case any serious repairs are needed. Then there's Road Hazard Tire & Wheel, which protects you against potholes, road debris, and other hazards.

With so much to consider when you’re purchasing a new vehicle, it’s understandable that the options can get overwhelming. One of the options that we get asked about often is extended warranties and whether they’re actually worth it. To help you decide, keep reading to learn more about what an extended warranty is, their benefits, and how to choose one for your new car. What is an Extended Warranty? When you purchase a new INFINITI, your vehicle automatically comes with a limited warranty that covers you for a certain number of miles or set amount of time. For INFINITI vehicles, that covers your powertrain and other basic needs, along with emissions performance and defects. For some, that amount of coverage may be enough. However, extended warranties offer protection beyond what the limited warranty can cover. There are a few types you can get, such as a prepaid maintenance plan or total loss protection. Benefits of Extended Warranties Depending on the type of warranty you’re looking for, there can be several benefits of the additional coverage. For instance, if your vehicle needs a repair covered by the warranty, you can bring it right back to Redwood City INFINITI for service. That means that your repairs are completed by technicians who are factory-trained and know your vehicle inside and out, in addition to using genuine INFINITI parts. If you ended up purchasing a prepaid maintenance plan, you no longer need to worry about paying for routine maintenance like oil changes or fluid flushes for the duration of the plan, which can save you stress and money. Simply bring your vehicle in, and we’ll take care of it. Available Packages At Redwood City INFINITI, we offer a variety of warranty and protection plans to extend the life of your INFINITI. Since the level of coverage varies by driver, there’s a lot to choose from to help you protect your vehicle. Some of our plans include: Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP) Environmental Protection Vehicle Service Contracts Maintenance Plans Roadside Assistance [gallery link="none" columns="2" size="full" ids="3876,3877"] Find Your Extended Warranty at Redwood City INFINITI Want to know more about how you can protect your vehicle?

Many times, an unexpected breakdown or necessary repair for your vehicle can leave you with a case of sticker shock. We've all been there, wondering if it's even worth the cost of repair. So what should you do? If you're trying to decide between repairing or selling your vehicle, it can help to know your options. You can follow Redwood City INFINITI's guide to weigh the pros and cons of selling vs. repairing to help you make your final decision. more Repair Some of the most important things to take into consideration are the age and condition of your vehicle. If this is your vehicle's first repair, it's probably worth the investment, even if it's a pricey one. When you're faced with costly repairs, it can be helpful to make a budget to see where the repair fits in for you. Auto repair financing can be an option if the upfront cost is too much, and can go a long way to help you get your vehicle back sooner. If your vehicle is still on the low end for milage, you could have years left on it, making repairing a wise choice. Your vehicle could have a lot of life left in it, and paying for a repair could help it last even longer. Since some modern vehicles can go well past 200,000 and even up to 300,000 miles, the mileage is one more thing to consider. Sell How old is your vehicle? Has it already had several big repairs? If you're already stressed at the thought of the the next repair, then selling your vehicle might be your best bet. When you're in the market for a new vehicle, the easiest option is to sell directly to a dealership. They'll take care of all the repairs so you don't have to, and you can even find your vehicle's value before you decide to sell. At Redwood City INFINITI, our Buy-Back Program is designed to make selling easier, so you can get that vehicle off your hands and into a new one with more longevity.

Choosing your next vehicle is an exciting but daunting experience. Whether you're looking for a car that's brand new or just new to you, there's a lot to think about before signing the papers to make a car, truck, or van yours. That's why we've created this handy guide with some quick tips to help you know what to look for when deciding how to choose a new or used vehicle. more Finding the Right Car for You If you've never bought a new vehicle, it's tough to know where to start. How are you supposed to know what you want? Which features are better than others? Instead of getting overwhelmed, you can ask yourself the following questions to narrow down your search. Then, follow the steps to pinpointing your next vehicle. What are your needs? This question can cover a broad range, but with so many options out there, it can really help you pinpoint the type of vehicle you're searching for. If you have a short daily commute, you might consider a hybrid or electric vehicle to save on fuel and get you where you need to go with low or zero emissions. Maybe you take frequent road trips; in that case, a roomy cargo area and convenience features are key. Write down details such as how many passengers you'll be hauling, which features are a must-have, and whether you're planning to use the vehicle for towing. What's your budget? Budget alone will help you answer several questions, such as new vs. used or lease vs. purchase. Determine how much you have for a down payment and the cost of your monthly payments, than narrow your search based on those factors. There's no use in finding your dream car that's way out of your budget, but with the right financing or budgeting, you can certainly come close. Remember, too, that trading in a current vehicle should factor into your budget and can greatly reduce the cost. Should you lease or buy?
