The short answer
At Autobedrijf Willemsbrug in Rotterdam-IJsselmonde, your Nissan gets a minor or major service according to the manufacturer’s service schedule. If your Nissan is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, the warranty stays valid as long as the servicing follows the manufacturer’s schedule, even if you do not go to the dealer.
The price depends on the model, the engine and the mileage. Call +31 10 479 00 00 with your registration number and mileage, and we will tell you in advance what the service costs. You can also visit our workshop.
If you combine a major service with the APK (MOT), the inspection is free. You drop off your Nissan Monday to Friday between 8.00 and 8.30 am, or on Saturday at 9.00 am. If extra work is needed, we call you first.

Why have your Nissan serviced at Autobedrijf Willemsbrug?
We are an independent garage for all makes and an RDW-approved APK station. We service your Nissan to the manufacturer’s specifications, with parts and oil that suit your car.
The Qashqai is by far the most common Nissan in the Netherlands. We know its weak points: the CVT automatic and, on the 1.2 DIG-T, oil consumption. You are also welcome with an e-Power drivetrain or an electric Leaf or Ariya.
What servicing does the manufacturer specify for your Nissan?
Nissan sets a service schedule for each model and engine. A service is usually due after a year or after a set number of kilometres, whichever comes first. We use your registration number to look up the schedule for your Nissan. That way you know in advance whether it will be a minor or a major service.
Many Nissans with an automatic have a CVT. This is a continuously variable automatic that works with a steel belt. The fluid in this gearbox is special. We use the CVT fluid that Nissan specifies for your gearbox. With the wrong fluid, the gearbox can start to slip or jerk.
We use your registration number to look up which service your Nissan needs and, where possible, we read the service indicator. After the service, we reset the service reminder, if our equipment can do this.
Minor or major service for your Nissan?
Which service your car needs depends on the model, the engine, the age and the mileage. A minor and a major service usually include the following:
| Part | Minor service | Major service |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil and oil filter | Change and replace | Change and replace |
| Fluids | Check and top up if needed | Check, change the brake fluid if the schedule requires it |
| Brakes and tyres | Check for wear | Thorough check, including brake discs and brake pads |
| Filters | Check | Replace the air filter and cabin filter according to the schedule |
| Spark plugs (petrol) | Not standard | Replace at the manufacturer’s interval |
| Battery | Check | Test with a battery tester |
| Timing belt (if the engine has one) | Not standard | Check whether the belt is due for replacement at the set interval |
| APK | Book separately | Free if you combine it with a major service |

Common Nissan models and what we check during a service
These Nissan models are the most common in the Netherlands, according to RDW open data. We can service all of these models.
| Model | Number in the Netherlands | What we check during a service |

| Micra | 47,216 | Oil, brakes and tyres. On older cars, also rust and brake lines. |
| Note | 24,321 | Oil, brakes and tyres. On a CVT automatic, we check for jerking when you pull away. |
| Juke | 22,894 | On a CVT automatic: jerking when you pull away. On the turbo engine, the oil level too. |
| Leaf | 12,385 | Electric: no engine oil. Brakes, brake fluid, tyres and cabin filter still need servicing. The brake discs can rust. |
| Pixo | 11,612 | Small city car, technically the same as the Suzuki Alto: oil, brakes and tyres. |
| X-Trail | 8,841 | Oil, brakes and tyres. On a diesel, the DPF (diesel particulate filter). On e-Power, the oil for the petrol engine. |
| Almera | 5,644 | Older car: oil, brakes, suspension and rust on load-bearing parts. |

What do we check when servicing your Nissan?
At every service we follow the manufacturer’s schedule. For your Nissan, we also pay extra attention to these points:

Servicing a Nissan e-Power, Leaf or Ariya
The electric Leaf and Ariya have no engine oil, spark plugs or timing chain. They still need servicing: brakes, brake fluid, tyres, suspension and cabin filter, according to the Nissan schedule. On the Ariya, that includes the battery cooling. On the Qashqai and X-Trail e-Power, the petrol engine gets oil and filters according to the schedule.
Our mechanics hold a GMTO certificate (the Dutch qualification for working on high-voltage systems). This means they are trained to work safely on the high-voltage systems of hybrid and electric cars. Read more about servicing hybrid and electric cars (in Dutch).
How much does a service for your Nissan cost?
The price of a service differs from car to car. The model, the engine, the specified oil and the mileage determine what needs to be done and which parts are needed. That is why we do not give an amount on this page.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty on your Nissan stay valid?
Yes. Having your car serviced at an independent garage does not void your manufacturer’s warranty, as long as the servicing follows the manufacturer’s schedule and uses suitable parts and oil. This follows from the European rules for the motor industry. Extra warranties or mobility services from the brand may be linked to servicing at a dealer. We record the service in our system and, if you have a service book, in that too. You receive an invoice listing all the work. Keep it in a safe place.
