As you’ve likely noticed at the Avondale Nissan blog, our expertise isn’t limited to matters related to automotive buying. We do our best to stay on top of all the issues related to car ownership, and that even applies to items that don’t benefit us directly. For example, did you know that there are ways that you can fix dents and scratches by yourself? You can, and it isn’t even very hard. Here, we’ll show how to address three of the most common vehicular blemishes: dents, scratches and paint chips.

Driving Habits that Waste Fuel
As any visitor to the Avondale Nissan blog can attest, we certainly do our part to try to save money for area drivers. Whether it’s by identifying service issues before they become expensive or just by alerting them to sales events at our dealership, we are on it, generally speaking. One way we try to save our friends in the area money is by alerting them to ways to conserve fuel, but this information obviously has a dark underbelly as well: driving habits that waste fuel. Are you driving in a manner that just burns your hard-earned money more than you realize? If you drive using any of the following habits, well, you might be doing just that.
Do You Need to Change your Brake Fluid?
Just when you thought there was an automotive issue that we hadn’t covered here at Avondale Nissan, a person came to our service department with a question. “Do I need to change my brake fluid?” Wow, good question.

What Should You Know when your Car is Recalled?
If there has been a pretty obvious through-line for the automotive industry in the last decade or so, it’s been that recalls are more common than ever. This doesn’t necessarily mean that cars aren’t being built with less quality than before; rather, it simply means that there is more oversight than there has ever been. This added oversight has made it more common for there to be fixes after the point of purchase, and we do many of these fixes right here at Avondale Nissan. So, what should you know when your car is recalled?

When is it Time to Get Rid of an Old Car?
Saying goodbye to anything you care about is hard. Among our staff at Avondale Nissan, we’ve had to bury pets, parents and crappy marriages.

So when is it time to get rid of an old car? Here are a few signs that your best years are behind you, and that you should check out our inventory at Avondale Nissan.

As we say again and again, the process of owning a vehicle is something that is a continual work in progress. You buy a vehicle, and as it ages, certain parts need a little attention here and there. It’s as annoying as it is common, isn’t it?
