Reasons To Buy This November Goodbye 2020’s Hello 2021’s As we approach the end of the year, new model year vehicles make their way onto dealerships lots This means dealerships must make room for the incoming inventory. This means finding unbeatable incentives, offers, and savings on remaining inventory shouldn’t be too hard! Thanksgiving/Black Friday Deals Thanksgiving/Black Friday is known for producing HUGE DEALS on just about anything you can purchase. This is no different for car dealerships. It’s not guaranteed, but most dealerships will do a Black Friday savings event to offer money off new vehicles, dropping lease offers, or even low financing. We suggest taking some time to do research on the vehicle you’re looking for, and seeing what kind of sales are being offered during these events! Compact & Mid-Sized Sedan Savings Because of the winter months, SUVs are in high demand, which means you won’t find huge incentives on these types of vehicles. However, if you’re looking for a compact/ mid-sized sedan or hatchback, you might get lucky with deals because fewer shoppers are looking for them this time of year. Sales Quotas Every dealership has a year-end goal, aka a number of vehicles they want to be sold. With the year coming to an end, they will really be pushing to hit their goal. This is good news for shoppers because the dealership might be offering bug deals to help move inventory to meet their quotas! Find Your Dream Nissan Here!

Fall is here and before we know it the temperature outside will be dropping low, and for those that don’t know. So will your tire’s PSI! Your tire’s PSI is really important when it comes to the handling of your drive and the safety of you and your passengers. To avoid an accident or damage to your Nissan, we suggest keeping an eye on your tire pressure. How do you do that? We’re so glad you asked! Below you’ll find everything you need to know about inflating your tires to the right PSI and some tips and tricks for keeping your tires in tip-top shape this fall. As always, if you need assistance with your service, be sure to schedule your service appointment with us today! Why it’s important to check your tire pressure… Your safety Longer lasting tires Improved handling and control Reduced risk of accidents and blowouts Better fuel economy Reduced carbon footprint Tips for Checking and Filling Your Tires When the temperature drops, we suggest checking your tire pressure. Outside temperatures can cause tire pressure to vary by as much as 1 psi per 10 degrees. What’s the right PSI level? The recommended PSI for your vehicle’s tires is determined by the vehicle’s manufacturer and the recommended tire size. You can find this information in your owner’s manual or on the placard inside of the door edge, glove box door, or fuel door. In most newer vehicles, your vehicle will alert you when your vehicle’s tires fall below the recommended PSI Do NOT use the max PSI that is printed on the tire sidewall. The pressure amount on the tire is normally the maximum allowed pressure. Over-inflation can lead to poor handling and comfort, overheating, and blowouts. How to properly inflate your tires. If you do not have air at home, most gas stations have an air pump for you to use. Remove dust caps from the tires’ valve stems. Insert your tire gauge into the tire valve and leave it in for a few seconds When you remove it, the gauge will provide a PSI reading If the tire gauge’s recorded reading is higher than the manufacturer-recommended rating, press the gauge tip on the valve stem until you hear air leak out. Check the tire pressure again. If the reading is lower than recommended, you will need to fill the tire with air. When filling the tire, firmly press the air-hose into the valve, as you did with the tire gauge When you think you’ve added or let out enough air, check the pressure a few times with the gauge. Return the valve dust caps. Schedule Your Nissan Fall Service Now
