Happy New Year! If you want to get on the resolution train, but not sure where you should start? Then you’ve stumbled on to the right blog! This week, your friends here at Destination Nissan want to help you start a resolution to be a better car owner. We know you love your beloved vehicle, but we are all guilty of pushing off maintenance or even keeping our vehicles clean. But since it’s a new year, it’s time to be a new you! See a handful of resolutions you can keep in mind this year and help yourself become a better car owner! Don’t Neglect Car Maintenance If you didn’t keep up with your regular car maintenance in 2019, your first new year’s resolution should be to call your mechanic! Yes, I know keeping up with car maintenance can be a pain, but when you don’t keep up with it bigger problems can arise. And it isn’t cheap. Schedule a service appointment today or stop into Destination Nissan today for your service needs! Learn To Do Basic Maintenance Yourself 2020 is the year of DIY and if you’re tired scheduling maintenance and spending money on service, there is no better time than now to make it a new year’s resolution to learn how to do it yourself! Start with something small, like learning to replace your windshield wipers. It usually needs to be done twice a year and is important for road safety. It’s an easy goal for the new year to accomplish quickly. End Distracted Driving According to the DMV, on average 9 people are killed by distracted driving every day. Most people think that distracted driving means texting and driving but it actually refers to anything that can take your full attention away from the road. This includes reaching for something, changing the music, using an app, checking your GPS or map, taking a photo, checking email or posting to social media, eating and drinking, and even putting on makeup/grooming Make this resolution to drive less distracted to keep you and others on the road safer. Keep Your Car Clean For some of you keeping your car clean comes naturally, but for the rest of us, it is a daily challenge. If your car is a mess going into the new year learn how to declutter your car and prevent future clutter. First, remove everything from your car that you do not need. Second, organize those important papers in your car and rid of the papers you don’t need. Throw out old receipts, coupons, and other miscellaneous papers. Then find the important documents like your registration, insurance, and owner’s manual and put them in a safe spot. Third, give your car a deep clean after you’ve decluttered it. Vacuum the seats and floor, wipe down windows, and take it through a car wash. New Year Means A New Nissan For You!

Did you know that the end of the year is the best time to score HUGE SAVINGS at a car dealership? That means there is no better time than right now to stop into Destination to find your dream Nissan for less! Stop in and shop the Nissan Year End Sales Event and score limited-time savings that you can only get now! Oh, and did we mention that isn’t the only perk of shopping with us right now? Check out the 5 reasons it is best to shop NOW for a new Nissan. Then stop into Destination Nissan and score huge offers, it’s that easy! New models: We have new models coming in every week and limited space which means we need to sell 2019 models for the new year models coming in. September, October, November, and December are the months that manufacturers are typically trying to make room for new models on dealer lots. Come December, prices will hit a low for the year. For a buyer, these factors work in your favor to save money. Holiday Shopping: Yeah we know, thinking of buying a car during the most expensive holiday season might sound crazy, but during the holiday season cars continuously lower in price. This is where Black Friday sales have kicked in, as well as low prices in December. Holiday Bonuses: More than half of Americans will receive a monetary end-of-year bonus. With a little extra cash coming in, it might be time to say goodbye to your old ride and hello to a new reliable one. Smooth Commuting: There might be a sense of worry about whether your older vehicle can make it through another tough winter. If you worry about commuting in the winter weather, year after year, it might be time to stop in and get yourself a reliable vehicle that can get you through the weather. Having the upper hand: When traffic is down at a dealership, salespeople can usually take more time to explain in-depth about a car you are interested in, show you similar models, review features, safety concerns and more. You might also have the upper hand due to a lack of customers and win an unbeatable deal! Shop The Nissan Year End Sales Event NOW!

We are only one week away from Halloween and before we know it the jingle bells will be ringing and the snow will be falling. If you haven’t taken the time to service your vehicle for the winter months ahead, then it’s time to get started! As we know the winter weather won’t wait for anyone, so the sooner you service the better! If your vehicle is in need of some well deserved TLC, be sure to schedule a service appointment with us so you can skip the line later! This week we want to inform you about some tips and tricks on how to keep up with your tire maintenance. Your tires are extremely important to the way your vehicle drives during the winter months. If your tire’s PSI is low, if your tire’s tread is low, or the condition/age of your tires is bad/older, you could have issues on the road when the snowy and icy weather hit. Making sure that your tires are in tip-top shape for the winter is not only important for your performance, but also for the safety of you and your passengers. So please take a few minutes to look over the checklist below and be sure to give your tires an inspection. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for or how to check you can find that information below or our team could do it for you. Give yourself peace of mind this winter and service your tires today! Checking Your Tire Pressure: Use a tire pressure gauge to make sure your tires are properly inflated and then fill your tires with air as needed Your owners manual will have the proper PSI for your tires To check your pressure, remove the valve stem cap, press the gauge head evenly onto the valve stem, use firm pressure so that the hissing sound stops Remove the gauge and read the pressure adjust as needed Checking Your Tire’s Condition & Age: Look at the tread and sidewalls for any cuts, scrapes, punctures, bulges, bumps or cracks. If you see anything suspicious, have a tire service professional take a closer look. You also want to keep an eye on your tire’s age. Depending on how much you drive, your tire’s tread may last for years but just because the tread is not worn out does not mean that your tires don’t need to be replaced To determine your tire’s age just look at the DOT stamping on the sidewall At the end of the DOT stamp, there is a four-digit code that will tell you when the tire was manufactured. Example: A code that looks like 4719 means the tire was manufactured in the 47th week of 2019. Checking Your Tire Depth: Evaluate the tread depth of your tires to make sure you have enough traction to grip the road An easy way to check you tire depth is with the Penny Test Just place a penny upside down in your tread. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it may be time for new tires. Get Your Nissan New Tires and Service Here!
