However, one thing we can’t afford to simply shrug off until tomorrow is our auto maintenance, and to call attention to this fact, April is National Car Care Month. Accordingly, the service department at Avondale Nissan in the Phoenix area has specials and coupons to help make your next auto maintenance as quick and easy as possible.
