My Leaf, Evie, and I made a return trip to the dealership here in Delaware on Wednesday of this week. Why are you already at the dealership when you've only owned the car for a month, you ask? Well, it wasn't anything bad. Infact it was a great trip. I merely had to pick up my registration and license plate. This will probably be the only trip to the dealership we make this entire year! How is that? Well, let me tell you about the maintenance schedule for the Nissan Leaf. It is amazing!
The maintenance schedule for the first five years is to rotate tires every 6,500-7,500 miles and get a battery check once a year. That is it. No more, no less.
Even though this recent trip was merely to pick up registration and have my new license plate installed, I was welcomed with smiles and helpful staff members at Sheridan Nissan. Our salesman, Chris, gladly went to his desk to get the screwdriver so that he could install the plate. He shared with me that he had gone from being the first salesman in Delaware to sell a Leaf (the one we own), to being the salesman in Delaware who has sold the most Leafs. He proudly shared that he currently had 3 on order.
He also told me that he had just returned from an intensive class where salespeople learned a lot more information about the Nissan Leaf. We'd had a question about driving through brackish water, since that can be a common occurrence here where we live in Delaware. We weren't sure how this would effect the batteries and other components on the car. He had remembered our question and got it answered at the class. He was told that we are able to go through the brackish water the same as we would in any other car. Proceed with caution, slowly, and through the lowest point possible. Common sense.
Chris and I shook hands and I hopped back in my leaf, most likely not to return for another 10 months. Are you jealous of my maintenance schedule yet?
