As you might be aware, driving becomes more difficult as we age. A great deal of auto accidents involve older drivers, and since we’re a popular destination for snowbirds and retirees, we often cater to older drivers at Avondale Nissan. So how can these valued customers drive more safely? Here are five safety tips for senior drivers, taken directly from the national DMV website.

How to Keep your Christmas Tree from Drying Out

With the Christmas holiday fast approaching — and with your tree now purchased, riiiiiight? — your work isn’t done. You’ve also got to reteach yourself the Twelve Days of Christmas and try to remember just what in the heck figgy pudding is, among other things. However, back to that tree for a minute; do you know how to keep your Christmas tree from drying out? It isn’t hard, but you’d be amazed how many people overlook the simple steps to do just that.

The Positive Charge: Important Car Battery Information

What do you know about your car battery? We mean, other than that it provides the electricity to run your vehicle and that, without one, your car isn’t going anywhere, what do you know? Despite our best efforts to know more about our batteries, they seem to be one automotive component that gets short shrift when it comes to user understanding. That’s why we at Avondale Nissan have put together a short rundown of important car battery information for your reading pleasure.

How to Prevent Rust on Your Car

Although we at Avondale NIssan reside in one of America’s most temperate areas, a large portion of our clients enjoy the respite of the great outdoors. Oftentimes, this requires a trip to the Arizona Snowbowl or Sunrise Ski Park, each of which requires traversing roads that have been salted to minimize the impact of ice and snow. But here’s an unfortunate newsflash: the salt can result in rust on your vehicle. However, it doesn’t have to. Here’s how to prevent rust on your car as the winter months approach.

Trivia Time: Ten Interesting Automotive Facts

Since we’re such trivia savants here at Avondale Nissan — and since we also are always trying to stockpile knowledge to keep things interesting during Thanksgiving dinner — we had a little competition at our Phoenix-area dealership. We thought we’d each search for some interesting automotive facts, and put together the ten best ones and share them with our friends on the dealership blog. So, without further ado, here are our picks for the best ten automotive facts we’ve come up with.

Introducing the Nissan Versa Note Color Studio

If you remember, there was a significant surge in interest last year when Nissan introduced the Juke Color Studio, which allowed buyers of our popular compact crossover SUV to customize their purchase to suit their tastes. If a buyer wanted to mix colors that were, well, a little unorthodox, they could now do so, meaning that no two Juke models would be the same. Nissan has now extended this offer to the popular 2016 Nissan Versa Note as well, a model that is already popular with students and younger drivers. Now, with the arrival of the Nissan Versa Note Color Studio, this popular model promises to be more popular than ever.

As you’re well aware, we certainly love sports here at Avondale Nissan. In fact the links you’ll find on this page (and the video at the bottom) certainly bear this out. What you might not be aware of, however, is just how much Nissan cares about athletics as well. Nissan USA has just announced the largest college athletic sponsorship in the history of collegiate sports, and to celebrate, we’re rolling out the Diehard Fan App.
