Auto Service Phoenix AZ

Living in the Arizona sunshine can often make it seem like there isn’t a care in the world, and we admit, this is often the case. Unlike people in other areas (read: the midwest), we don’t have to worry ourselves much with storms or snow or cold weather. 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. And what do we want to pay attention to with our National Car Care Month Auto Service in the Phoenix AZ area? Let’s take a look.

Is This the Year for the Arizona Wildcats?

Is This the Year for the Arizona Wildcats?

We are through one week of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, and we’ve already seen our share of shockers. (Sorry, Witchita State. We had to.) An assortment of the so-called “blue-bloods” have already fallen on their faces, with the likes of Duke, Kansas and Syracuse–all ranked #2 or higher at some point this season–watching from the miserable confines of their respective dorm rooms. Meanwhile, some fresh faces have shown some grit as well, with North Dakota State, Mercer and Dayton all turning heads during the first weekend. Of course, in these parts, all of these issues pale in comparison to what we’re really wondering at Avondale Nissan in the Phoenix area: Is this the year for the Arizona Wildcats?

Calling All Students! The Versa Note is Perfect for You!

Versa Note Perfect Student Car

Even though it’s sometimes hard to believe, I was once a college student. These were the heady days of gas-guzzlers and loud engines, when–and I’m dating myself, of course–a gallon of gas cost the same as a bottle of soda. Needless to say, the overwhelming dedication to efficiency that is central to many of Nissan’s vehicles wasn’t yet even a consideration, but the intervening years have taught us quite a bit about the importance of responsible manufacturing, and the result of all these advances is the 2014 Nissan Versa Note, the perfect student car and the hatchback companion to Nissan’s popular Versa sedan.

Nissan Rogue Receives Best Possible Safety Rating for 2014

2014 Nissan Rogue Top Safety Pick

When you spend a lot of time around Nissan vehicles, you kind of get used to stacking up accolades. At Avondale Nissan, which serves the greater Phoenix area, we don’t keep a trophy case or anything similarly gaudy to keep a visual record of all our prizes–Probably a good thing, because where would we put our service department?–but we aren’t above a little self-congratulation. Which is nice, because we just received that the 2014 Nissan Rogue has been recognized at a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The 2014 Nissan Rogue was fully redesigned for the new model year, and it’s clear that Nissan didn’t sleep on safety when they were sitting at the draft table. The designation of “Top Safety Pick+” is the highest-available ranking, a result of the Rogue earning a best-possible “Good” score in all five categories.
