Have An Arsenal Of Games Ready To Go No road trip is complete without family car games, so be sure to jot down a list of age-appropriate games before you get going. It’s a good idea to spread them out so that you don’t run out of games too quickly We suggest playing one at the beginning to get them excited for the trip, then once they start getting antsy, and then periodically Having small prizes for the winner is always a fun way to get them into a game Make Sure Your Ride Is Nice And Tidy Before Leaving It’s important that your vehicle is tidy and organized when hitting the road.

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!

September is finally here and for many of us this marks the start of a new school year, the end of summer, and the last part of the year, but for many of us, September means one thing ...and that’s that football is back! Whether you’re all about college ball or excited about cheering on your favorite pro team, it doesn’t matter, because we all love a good tailgate!

You’ll definitely get some brownie points for that! All Decked Out: What is a tailgate without some team pride?? Not a good one that's for sure! Get all decked out, apparel, magnet decor for your vehicle, balloons, foam fingers, and don’t forget to serve the opposing team fans a burger on a paper plate that has your team's decor...oh yeah I went there! Location: You can have everything for the perfect tailgate party, but it won’t be enough without the right spot! Weather is never perfect, especially in the months ahead, so get there early and ensure you get the perfect spot that shelters your vehicle from the sun, wind, and rain away are generally a wise choice.
