From the little things to the small stuff, the service team at Younger Nissan of Frederick can assist you with all of your vehicle needs. This week we are focusing on treating your vehicle to fall service before the season officially changes! Take a look at our guide below, schedule your service appointment online today, and be sure to grab a service offer before stopping in to see us! We look forward to working with you and your Nissan this season - see you soon! Car Battery With the changes of seasons coming quickly, it’s a great time to stop in to see our team for diagnostic testing to ensure that your battery is healthy and ready to take on the winter temperatures. Plus, ask to have your cables and terminals checked for corrosion and properly tightened. Winter is known for killing batteries, stop in, and let’s have your battery properly maintenanced before the change of seasons! Headlights As our cars age, our headlights tend to become cloudy or even hazy, especially on vehicles that are continuously parked outside in the elements. While the days get shorter, we will be using our headlights much more these days which means it’s very important to ensure that your headlights are the brightest they could possibly be. Whether it’s headlight conditioning, replacement of the bulbs, or replacing your headlights altogether, our team can assist you with all of your needs. Tires Responsible driving all starts at the tires. Monthly tread inspections can help you stay on top of when it’s time to replace your tires. If you have noticed that your tires are less than ⅛-inch of tread, then it’s time to upgrade. While all-season tires might be a cheaper option upfront, choosing a set for both summer and winter, offers a more well-rounded performance. Stop in to see our team and let us help you choose the right tires for your vehicle! Wipers Did you know that it’s a great option to replace your wipers every six months? Typically, your wipers should be replaced twice a year to ensure top performance. Before the fall season, it’s a great option to upgrade those wipers and choose a pair that are specifically designed for winter weather as we are quickly heading that way. Also, if you’re looking to extend the lifespan of your wipers, we encourage you to clean them with a paper towel and glass cleaner each time you stop to get gas.

Summer is about to go down and gas prices are going up! It’s normal to see prices rise at this time of the year - with many people traveling for adventures in the sun, gas is in high demand. If you’re worried about breaking the bank on gas this summer, don’t stress, we’re here to help! Many of us don’t realize that by just changing a few things to our driving techniques, you could actually save some big money at the gas pump! That’s right, saving money at the pump starts with you! So how do you do it? Great question! Check out all of our tips below, if you have any questions feel free to reach out or stop in! If you’re looking to slip behind the wheel of a more fuel-efficient vehicle, browse our available inventory and schedule a test drive now! Track Your Mileage In Real-Time Knowing what mileage you're getting in real-time compared to what you got yesterday or even 10 minutes ago is the new way to drive Most newer vehicles have this function and allow you to view it on your virtual cockpit For older cars, you may need to get your knuckles dirty by installing a vacuum gauge, which measures how hard the engine is working, or explore the growing world of DIY fuel-economy electronics Only Brake When Needed You might find that in traffic, not even stop-and-go traffic, that the pack was constantly speeding up and abruptly slowing down Do something different, when everyone starts going give yourself a 10-15 seconds buffer before hitting the gas and accelerating. If timed right you could coast right up to the vehicle in front of you as they are starting again without ever hitting the brakes. Drive Like You're On a Bike When you're headed uphill, it takes a lot more effort to maintain speed than it does going down, so give the car a break and let yourself lose a few mph on the way up.  Your car burns the most gas when it's forced into high-load situations, so try to remember what makes biking difficult and make those situations as painless as possible by laying off the gas. Plan Your Route Ahead Of Time Take the path with fewer stoplights, not as much traffic, and, yes, lower speed limits. Even if you save 0.1 gallons of gas each day, you'll save more than a hundred dollars per year. Avoid Rush Hour I get it, avoiding rush hour is a lot harder said than done. Most office buildings let out around the same hours and you can’t just sit there till the roads are clear. Well, try alternate routes. It might add a few minutes to your commute but will save you more gas than having to deal with stop-and-go traffic! Find Your New VW Here!

Combat boredom by making your own “travel binder.” Fill it with coloring pages, word searches, bingo games, etc, that way the kids will be entertained with a handful of different activities. Another way to fight boredom is technology, whether it be a learning toy, an iPad to watch movies or play games, an iPod to listen to music, or even an audible book! Bring lots of snacks! Kids get hungry when they get bored which can easily turn into them becoming hangry/cranky. That’s the last thing you want to deal with on a long trip, so pack a good mix of healthy snacks and a couple of their favorite treats for when they get really antsy! Another fun activity is having a countdown. Kids love countdowns of any kind, so turn it into a game! Give them a time limit and an activity, remind them of how much time they have left, and watched them focus on finishing in time! This is perfect because it keeps them entertained, it lets them know how much longer till we are there, and it keeps your drive easy! For when all else fails to prepare a “Are we there yet bag? When you’re coming up on a near breakdown pull out the bag and tell them if they behave they get to pick a prize out of it! This will easily buy you another half hour and keep your children excited and entertained with what they might get next Find Your Dream Nissan Here!

Ready to sell your car? We know that selling your vehicle can be a stressful experience. At Younger Nissan of Frederick, we have a dedicated team to walk you through the process and put money in your pocket the same day! However, we understand that sometimes sellers want to sell their vehicles privately. This week we wanted to share the benefits of selling your car to dealerships like Younger Nissan of Frederick. Did you know that currently, the market is experiencing a shortage of vehicles? This means pre-owned vehicles are in high demand and your current vehicle could be worth even more than you expect, even if you don’t buy from us. If you’re interested in valuing your trade-in, you can do that right on our website, now. Or, since Younger Nissan of Frederick is a premier Kelley Blue Book Buying Center, you can get an Instant Cash Offer right now! So start your trade-in process now or stop into Younger Nissan to sell your car to us! We hope to see you soon! Save Time/ Get Cash Fast Selling your car to a dealer is the fastest way to get paid. When you take your pre-owned car to a dealership, you can be in and out of the door within a few hours. However, when you sell privately, it could take weeks or even months. Dealerships love buying and adding pre-owned vehicles to their lots because, according to Cox Automotive 2018 Used Car Market Report, about 70% of annual vehicle sales are used cars. Convenience Selling your vehicle privately can be a hassle. It involves advertising the car, detailing it, arranging times for potential buyers to test-drive the car. You must also do all the bargaining, and there’s always the risk that the buyer will back out at any time. When you sell to a dealership you’ll drive into your dealership, make the sale, and go home—how much easier can it get? It’s Simple Paperwork is a headache - so leave it to the dealership! Dealers will handle all the paperwork for you and the DMV, so you won’t have to worry about anything other than the price and signing your name. With a third party or private buyer, you’ll have to deal with all title transfers and bill of sales. Save Money With Potential Tax Breaks In most cases*, when you sell your vehicle to the dealership and buy from them at the same time (trade-in), you’ll save money on the sales tax of your new car. For instance, if you trade in a car for $5,000 and purchase a new vehicle for $20,000, you may only have to pay taxes on $15,000. Tax credits may also be available for select new vehicles, including hybrids and electric cars. *See dealer for more details Get Your KBB Instant Cash Offer Now!

Getting ready to hit the road this spring? Then you’ve come to the right place! In this week’s blog, you’ll find some helpful tips for planning your next getaway. I know what you’re thinking, ‘why do I have to plan out my next getaway?’ Well, taking time to prepare for a trip is important for making sure you don’t hit any bumps in the road. Plus, you don’t want to have to worry about getting lost or experiencing mechanical issues, right? So check out our helpful tips below and start planning your next getaway because summer is right around the corner and there is nothing like hitting the road with the windows down and peace of mind in your hands. Take some time to decide on a destination. Decide if you want to go far or stay closer to home, do you want to get the mountain tops or city streets? Once you’ve decided on where to go, decide if you’ll be able to make it back in one day and if so what time should you go, arrive, and head back home. If you have to stay the night be sure to start looking for a hotel or place to stay sooner rather than later (prices go up). Choose a route. Many people who take road trips like to take the scenic route to their destination. If this is you, check out your GPS and see the different ways you can go to get to your destination. However, if you’re only planning a day trip, it might be better to find the quickest way to get there because of the time restriction. Consider the right vehicle. Some vehicles are simply not made for long drives. Depending on the number of people taking the trip with you, the right car might be different. If you’re packing in the whole family it is no surprise that an SUV or crossover is the best way for you to go. You’ll need space to get everyone in and be comfortable. If you’re looking to save a buck on gas opt for a sedan that has great fuel economy! If you’re looking for a new ride before hitting the road, we have a wide variety of vehicles for you to choose from, whether it be an SUV, sedan, or even truck, we can match you with the best option for your needs! Get a tune-up. The best thing you can do before hitting the road, regardless of how far you’re traveling, is to get a tune-up. You want to make sure there is no chance of breaking down or mechanical issues. Make sure to get your fluid levels topped off, check for engine problems, and make sure all of your lights are working. Bring entertainment. Of course, the drive has to be focused on the road. However, passengers might want some entertainment to make the trip more bearable, especially if you’re taking a big trip. We suggest planning some car games for younger passengers and bring electric entertainment like phones, tablets, headphones, and even magazines, books, journals, etc. Thinking it’s time to upgrade to a new Nissan this spring? We think that is a great idea, and there is no better place to start your search than at Younger Nissan of Frederick! We invite you to start your search online to find the perfect ride for you!

Simply head over to our website to schedule your service appointment now, or give us a call to schedule now! Step 1: Fill a clean bucket with water and soap, choose a car shampoo that won’t strip your vehicle’s wax, and provide lubrication for grimy particles. *If you notice swirl marks when you wash your car, try filling two buckets, one with soap and one without. Before you dunk your sponge for more soap, dunk it into the bucket of clean, non-soapy water. This is cleaning your sponge of the dirt and grime that you just took off your car and will help prevent swirl marks.* Step 2: Rinse your car, make sure you get those pesky, hard-to-reach spots too. This will get rid of loose dirt and grime and ultimately make washing your car a little less of a hassle. When rinsing your vehicle, wash top to bottom opposed to front to back. Suds up your car, rinse, and repeat. Instead of a sponge, wash mitts are a great option. For pesky spots, like grime or bugs, try a spot cleaner that will help remove the stuck-on mess. Step 3: Drying your vehicle after washing is extremely important, it makes all your hard work worth it. Using a clean microfiber cloth, dry windows and mirrors first, then move to bigger surfaces like your hood, doors, and trunk. Don’t forget door jams or any hard-to-reach spots. Lastly, dry your wheels and tires. Step 4: A spray wax or sealant can help rejuvenate the shine on your vehicle. Schedule Your Spring Maintenance Here

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 Adirondack Chevrolet today for your service needs! Learn To Do Basic Maintenance Yourself 2021 is the year of DIY and if you’re tired of 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 photos, checking emails 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. Looking to upgrade to a new Nissan this new year? Well, your friends here at Younger Nissan want to help!
