3 Electrical Problems You Should Always Fix at Your INFINITI Dealer
Failing Alternator
The alternator is an essential part of your electrical system, as its purpose is to generate electricity for your car’s systems. Alternators have a relatively long life of approximately eight years before they need replacement. Their lifespan, however, can be reduced by other problems like a damaged battery. If your alternator starts to fail, it will gradually produce less and less electricity.
It can be difficult to identify the start of an alternator problem, as an alternator usually produces more power than your car’s systems require. Eventually, the alternator won’t be able to supply enough power for all your car’s systems. When this happens, random electrical issues will develop, and these issues will intensify as the alternator weakens. We can test your alternator and install a new one for you if it’s failing.

Your INFINITI rides on its tires, so ensuring their excellent condition is not just a matter of performance and driving pleasure but also of safety. Understanding the signs that your INFINITI might need new tires is vital for smooth and secure motoring, and at your INFINITY dealership, we want to tell you about the critical indicators of tire wear.
Does Your INFINITI Need New Tires From Your INFINITI Dealership?
Tread Wear
One of the first signs of trouble is tread wear. If the depth of the tread falls below 1/16th of an inch, it’s time to replace your tires. But how do you measure this? We have a straightforward method for you: the penny test. Insert a penny into your tire’s tread with Lincoln’s head upside down. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, your tire tread is dangerously low.
Vibration and Noise Levels
We’re familiar with the signature purr of our INFINITI’s engine, but what about those other noises? Increased noise or vibration while driving can signal an issue with your tires. Perhaps the tread wear is uneven, or there might be a problem with the tire’s internal structure. If you notice more vibration than usual, particularly on smooth roads, it’s wise to have your tires inspected.
