Searching for Nissan GT-R repair in Phoenix? EZ Swap LLC is a Phoenix auto shop at 9050 N 9th St that repairs and maintains the Nissan GT-R for model years 2009 to 2013. We diagnose the problem first, explain it in plain English, and quote the repair before we start.
Phoenix is demanding on a Nissan GT-R. Extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic and long highway miles on the I-17, the 51 and the Loop 101 all show up as wear. Below are the Nissan GT-R problems owners report most often, what each one looks like from the driver's seat, and how we fix it.

Nissan GT-R Maintenance in Phoenix Heat
- Test the GT-R battery before every summer, and replace it proactively around the 3-year mark
- Follow the severe-service schedule for oil and fluids, since Phoenix heat and traffic count as severe use
- Inspect GT-R brakes and tires twice a year; heat and stop-and-go driving wear both quickly
- Check coolant level and condition, and inspect belts and hoses for cracking
- Service the A/C early; a weak system rarely fixes itself
- Replace wiper blades and check lights, since sun destroys rubber and plastics
