DealerFire Multi Site Blogs

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.

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.

We spend a lot of time here at Avondale Nissan discussing the many ways that our lineup of Chevys, Fords and Lincolns can help make your vacation unforgettable. However, there are sometimes vacations where you won’t be taking a car of your own — you know, like if you fly somewhere and then have to rent a car. If this is the case, what should you know about renting a car? We at Avondale Nissan have a few helpful tips for you!

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?

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? One of the things that can sneak up on a driver (especially in the Arizona heat) is cracking or dried-out leather, a problem that might be an issue if you drive one of the many Nissan models with leather upholstery. So, how do you keep your leather seats from cracking in the heat? Here’s what to know.
