Your Nissan, in good hands.
A Rogue came in shuddering on acceleration with a whine that had the owner worried about her CVT, and rightly so, since that is the classic Nissan worry. We diagnosed it, checked the fluid and the cooler, and laid out exactly where it stood and what her options were, honestly, instead of pushing the most expensive route. She left knowing what she was dealing with and what it would take. That is the kind of straight talk Nissan owners come to us for.
Twin City Automotive services and repairs the full Nissan lineup for Winston-Salem drivers, cars, trucks, and SUVs alike. Diagnostics, oil changes, brakes, engine work, AC, electrical, and yes, the CVT, we do it all, on everything from a daily-driver Sentra to a Rogue to a Frontier. Same training and scan tools as the dealer, friendlier prices.
Nissans are dependable, comfortable cars with a few known quirks, and we know them, the CVT automatic that needs the right fluid and care, the timing chain rattle on some older engines, and the oil consumption that shows up with miles. Servicing with an independent shop like ours keeps your factory warranty intact, and you can check your Nissan for open safety recalls anytime with the free NHTSA recall lookup. Start with our vehicle diagnostics for a warning light, our transmission service for CVT trouble, or a routine oil change to keep things healthy.

What We Handle
Nissan Service and Repair in Winston-Salem
Everything your Nissan needs under one roof, from a quick oil change to CVT and engine work.
CVT Transmission Service
Nissan's CVT needs the right fluid and the right care. We service it, diagnose shudder, whine, and slipping, and give you honest options instead of defaulting to the most expensive fix.
Engine Repair and Timing Chain
From misfires and oil consumption to the timing chain rattle on some older Nissan engines, we diagnose the cause and fix what actually failed.
Brakes, Suspension and Steering
We handle pads, rotors, struts, and steering on every Nissan, so your car stops straight, rides smooth, and tracks the way it should.
Frontier and Titan Truck Service
Nissan trucks earn their keep. We handle the maintenance and repairs that keep a Frontier or Titan working, from routine service to bigger jobs.
Oil Changes and Scheduled Maintenance
We follow Nissan's factory maintenance schedule with the right oil and parts, so your warranty stays intact and your Nissan keeps running its best.
Common Nissan Issues
Nissan problems we see all the time
Every make has its known issues. Here are the Nissan ones we diagnose and fix most often.
CVT shudder or whine
Shuddering on acceleration, a whining noise, or slipping is the classic Nissan CVT concern. We diagnose it early and lay out your real options before it gets worse.
Check engine light and misfires
A rough idle or stumble with a check engine light usually traces to ignition or fuel parts. We scan it and trace the misfire to the actual cylinder and component.
Timing chain rattle
A rattle on startup from some older Nissan engines can point to a worn timing chain or guides. We check it before it leads to bigger engine trouble.
Burning oil
Some Nissan engines start using oil with miles. We find whether it is a leak or internal wear, and keep you from running low and doing real damage.
Transmission running hot
A CVT that overheats can drop into a protect mode and lose power. We check the fluid and cooling so it stays in a safe operating range.
Brake wear
Worn pads and rotors are routine but easy to ignore until they squeal or grind. We catch them before they damage anything more expensive.

Do you work on all Nissan models?
Yes. We service the full Nissan lineup, cars, trucks, and SUVs, including Altima, Sentra, Maxima, Versa, Rogue, Murano, Pathfinder, Kicks, Frontier, and Titan.
Can you service my Nissan's CVT transmission?
Yes. The CVT is one of the most common reasons Nissan owners come to us. We service it with the correct fluid, diagnose shudder, whine, and slipping, and give you honest options rather than defaulting to the priciest fix. Our transmission service covers it.
Can you service my Nissan without voiding the factory warranty?
Yes. Federal law protects your right to have routine maintenance and repairs done at an independent shop without losing your factory warranty. We keep clear records of all the work we do so your coverage stays protected.
Can you diagnose a Nissan check engine light?
Yes. We use proper scan tools to read the codes and then confirm the real cause with testing, so you fix the actual problem the first time. Our diagnostics service covers it.
Is your Nissan service cheaper than the dealer?
Often, yes. We do the same factory-scheduled work with quality parts and the right tools, usually for less than the dealer, and you get a local shop that knows you by name.
