It’s beginning to look a lot like winter right here at Destination Nissan! And we want to help our customers have a successful winter season. Whether you’re staying here in Albany or you’re planning to travel this winter, these tips will help you conquer the cold. Check them out below and warm up behind the wheel of a brand new Nissan this January. Hurry in to see our team and take advantage of great new incentives happening all month long! Emergency Kit: It’s always a good idea to be prepared in the event of an emergency, especially in the winter months. We encourage you to keep an extra coat, warm hat, gloves, and extra socks in your vehicle. It’s a good idea to keep a blanket, phone charger, flashlight, bottle of water, and a small non-perishable snack. Stop Foggy Windows: Foggy windows are no stranger in the winter season. And they can lead to potentially dangerous situations. Roll down your windows to quickly defog those windows or keep a clean chalkboard eraser in your vehicle to wipe away the fog. Keep Yourself From Getting Stuck: If your vehicle is a little on the lighter side, we encourage you to place a few bags of kitty litter in the back of your vehicle or trunk. This will aid in traction in the rear of your vehicle. And also keep a small shovel in the event you get stuck. Keep The Underside Of Your Vehicle Clean: It’s important to keep your vehicle clean all year long, but it’s especially important to keep the underside of your vehicle clean during the winter. Dirt, salt, and ice can accumulate underneath and cause erosion. Get a car wash on a warmer day and park your vehicle in the garage. Avoid Frozen Wiper Blades: Whether it’s a little snow or ice, no one likes frozen over wiper blades. We recommend leaving your wiper blades propped up when your vehicle is in park or placing a pair of socks over the blades to keep them from freezing.

Are things getting smelly this holiday season? If so, this week’s blog has 5 smells you don’t want to ignore and what it means if you’re smelling these nasty smells. Check it out below and be sure to schedule your next service appointment online today and take advantage of our service specials! Let’s get started! The Smell: Rotten eggs The Diagnosis: Your catalytic converter may be having issues and is putting hydrogen sulfide into your exhaust. This could be either a fuel injection issue, or your cat is failing. This is, unfortunately, a pretty expensive repair. But if you smell the rotten eggs when your car is not running, you should check for something inside of your vehicle. The Smell: Burning Rubber The Diagnosis: Oftentimes, the smell of burning rubber means that your drive belts are slipping or your hoses are loose and rubbing on other engine components. This is what creates that hot, burning smell. Once your engine is completely cooled off, take a look and if you need assistance, give our team a call! The Smell: Sulfur The Diagnosis: When you smell sulfur in your car all the time, you can assume that it’s gear lubricant leaking from the manual transmission, transfer case, or differential housing. There are sulfur compounds in the oil that serve as extreme-pressure lubricants for the gears in these parts, and after being in use for a few years this substance can get kind of gross. Look for those oily puddles under your car. If you see this, you should bring your vehicle to our service department for a check-up. The Smell: Burning carpet The Diagnosis: The smell of burning carpet tends to mean that your brakes are overheating. And it is most common if you have spent a lot of time behind the wheel for a road trip. But if you haven’t just completed a long road trip, it’s possible that you have seized your calipers or parking brake. So if this is what you’re smelling, stop in to see our team for a check-up! The Smell: Hot oil The Diagnosis: The easiest to diagnose is hot oil. And if you’re smelling oil, that means it is getting hot because it’s leaking onto the exhaust manifold, which becomes hot when your engine is running. It’s not a pleasant smell by any means, take a look around your engine and keep an eye out for any smoke. If you can find the leak, try to stem it, then bring your car to the shop, fast.

It’s the season of dropping temperatures and snowy conditions. This means you need to treat your vehicle to some TLC to ensure you’re getting the most out of your vehicle. This week we have some important tips that will help you have a successful winter season. And if your vehicle is ready to be serviced, hurry on in to see our team. Or if you’re ready to upgrade into a brand new Nissan, hurry in because our Year-End Sales Event is happening now and you can upgrade into a brand new Nissan for less right here at Destination Nissan! Swap out regular tires for winter tires. Snow or not, when temperatures fall below 45 degrees, winter tires are recommended. They're made to give you better traction while turning or stopping on cold pavement. Check your tire pressure weekly. Driving on underinflated tires can cause them to wear down prematurely and lose traction on icy or slippery surfaces. Your tires lose a pound of pressure with every 10-degree drop in temperature. Always keep your fuel tank half full. During winter weather, it's important to keep at least half a tank of fuel in the vehicle in the event of an emergency or if you get stuck in the snow and wait for assistance. Pack an emergency to-go kit. We encourage you to keep an extra coat, blanket, boots, gloves, and a hat inside your vehicle when the temperatures drop. We also recommend keeping a flashlight, first aid kit, and emergency contact information or AAA handy. Protect your windshield wipers. If you park outdoors, leave the wipers in the raised position to prevent them from freezing to the windshield. Never use your wiper blades to remove ice, snow, or frost from the windshield; use an ice scraper instead. Find Your New Nissan Here: https://www.destinationnissan.com/searchnew.aspx
