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! Come on, you can’t go to the game without a good pre-game, am I right? That’s why we want to help you go from dominating the carpool to dominating the tailgate in your Nissan! So whether you’re a veteran tailgater or joining the party for the first time, we’ve got some tips you’re not going to want to pass up. Take a peek at our tips below and let’s get this party started! 

Basics: 

• Every tailgate has basics, these include chairs, tables, food (it’s a must), drinks, coolers, plates, utensils, and a grill (be the grill master of the tailgate party)!

Take It Up A Notch:

• Everybody can bring a grill and some food, but that doesn’t make them tailgate masters…take it to the next level with portable phone chargers, wireless speakers and a portable satellite TV so that you and your guests can watch the pre-game action at the same time. 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.

Now that you have the tips to take on the tailgate, you have to ask yourself if you have the right ride? If you’re looking to upgrade your tailgate ride, stop into Destination Nissan this month! When you shop our new specials you can save big on fan-favorite models!

The summer heat is hot, hot, hot! If you’re feeling the heat, know that your vehicle is also feeling it, and if you don’t give your vehicle the TLC it deserves you might find yourself broken down and paying so big bills to get it fixed! We sure you have some big summer plans still in motion and serious maintenance might not fit in the budget. To avoid that headache, getting your vehicle serviced could be a simple fix! The professionals here at Destination Nissan have the skill and expertise to get your vehicle back into tip-top shape in no time! Plus, when you shop using our service specials you can SAVE BIG on whatever your vehicle might need! Are you more of a DIY person? Lucky for you this week’s blog is for you then! We have a list of services that should be checked off for the summer and almost all of them can be done from the comfort of your home! Don’t know much about your vehicle’s insides? No problem!   your service and stop in today!

Coolant: keeping your vehicle cool is super important during the summer, not just for us but for your vehicle as well! Making sure the coolant level is correct is super important, this makes sure that your engine doesn’t overheat. Go the extra mile and check the state of the hoses and coolant reservoir, look for leaks or damage. If you find any make sure you get it fixed as soon as possible!

Engine Belts: There is usually a serpentine belt that runs between the alternator, the fan, and several other components. It can deteriorate, become loose, start to squeal, and sometimes just break for no apparent reason. It needs to be in good condition and at the right amount of tension. If you see cracks in the belt or small pieces missing, it’s time to replace the belt.

Wipers: With hot summer days, come those summer storms we love to watch…even if we don’t want to be stuck in the middle of them. Things happen though and when it does you want to make sure your wipers are working properly so you can stay safe through any type of weather.

Other Essential Fluids: Check oil, brake, power-steering and windshield-washer fluids regularly. These liquids never stop being used and consumed. Speaking of brake fluid, how do the brakes on your car feel in general? Are they lacking in a bit? Feeling a bit spongy? If so, new pads and a system bleed might be required.

Air-Conditioning System: A summer essential is your car’s AC! If the system isn’t working properly, check for leaks. If the AC is leaking when on that is not good, there are plenty of sealing products you can use to fix this issue. IF this doesn’t resolve the issue bring your car to a mechanic to be serviced.

Air Filter: The winter’s decomposing leaves may be clogging up drainage points, windshield-washer nozzles or your car’s air filter. Now might be a good time to buy a new one or take the current one out and give it a cleaning.

Tires: Tires really need to be checked all year long. Your tire pressure needs to be correct (check the owner’s manual) in order to work properly and not cause damage to your vehicle. And since summer is the time for road trips you want your tire to be in tip-top shape!

Dashboard Sunshade: For those times when you’re not driving, but the car is still out in the sun, a cover that goes in the windshield will protect the dashboard against ultraviolet rays and help the cabin stay a little cooler. Some even have solar panels to keep the battery charged.

Clean the Car: Now that the sun stays out longer you might catch yourself gazing at the orange orb hanging low in a pinky-blue sky, but if your windshield is dirty you could find this to very dangerous! Even from the inside, that haze will diffuse the light and make things hard to see. That grime has a tendency to build up over a long period, so we don’t really notice it. Things look much sharper after your car has had a good wash, though

Driver and Passengers: Prepare your car for road trips and adventures with passengers. If a scheduled service is coming up, think about getting it done before a long drive. It’s also wise to make sure your insurance and driving license are up to date. Have a great summer, enjoy the roads, and take care of yourself and your car. And in the case that you find yourself in an emergency make sure your car has an emergency flashlight and

It’s no secret that you’ll be hitting the road a lot this summer, and it’s important to emphasize that your tires need to be in tip-top shape. Why you might ask? Well, even if your vehicle is jam-packed with safety technologies, your vehicle will still not be safe if you’re driving without good tires. Your vehicle’s tires are what bring the vehicle to a stop, what keeps you from slipping and sliding, what grips you to the ground,   without good tire tread, you are putting you and your passengers in danger.

Before you hit the road this summer, it is important to check our tire tread to make sure it is a proper tread level. So what is good tread thickness? Great question! This week’s blog is dedicated to just that, helping you figure out if your tread level is on point or not! Luckily for you, you can figure that out in just one simple step from the comfort of your home! No really, you don’t need to know anything about cars to check your tires, thanks to the penny test! What’s the penny test? Well, we’re glad you asked! Check it out below!

The penny test: Insert a penny right into the tread groove with Lincoln’s head facing upside down in the tread facing toward you. Once the penny is inserted, if you can see the entire head, your tread depth is less than 2/32” and that means you need to replace your tires ASAP.

The quarter test: As we did before, place the quarter upside down into the tread groove with Washington’s head facing toward you. If the tread reaches Washington’s head, you have at least 4/32” of tread remaining, AKA you’re tires are still in good shape and there’s nothing to worry about!

No coins? No problem! Take a look at your tread wear indicator bar that is molded onto the tread of your tires. These bars are found at the bottom of the tread grooves in multiple spots. When these bars are visibly flush with the adjacent ribs, your tire has no more than 2/32” of tread left. This is a visible indication that you need new tires for your vehicle!

You should monitor your tread depth closely once it reaches 4/32 inch deep. If you want to check it yourself, here’s how to assess your tread depth:

• 4/32” or deeper = good
• 3/32” = replace tire soon
• 2/32” or fewer = replace tires now
