Tire Service & Maintenance Tips from Midway Nissan

200044

Have you been thinking about your tires lately? Maybe wondering if they need to be serviced or if you need to schedule a tire alignment check on Bell Road? Not to worry! Midway Nissan has compiled a few tips and facts about Nissan tire care so that you can make the best decisions when it comes to the health of your car. Keep reading below!

Is Low Tire Tread Dangerous?

This a commonly asked question, as many folks don’t know that the tread on your tires is one of the most pivotal safety features on your car. Tire tread is necessary to the overall function of your vehicle, as it provides the proper level of grip that a vehicle needs to drive suitably on roadways.

Without that grip, a driver will find it harder to handle the car, especially at high speeds. Braking also becomes much more difficult, as the car lacks the grip necessary to come to full and complete stop.

How Can I Tell If My Tread Is Too Low?

If you’ve had your car for more than three years, experts recommend keeping an eye on your tread, since the three-year mark is around the time that many automakers suggest replacing your tires.

If you’re not sure, you can do a very simple “penny test,” which can tell you if your tread has worn too thin. Basically, all you need to do is place a penny upside down in your tire’s tread. If you can’t see Lincoln’s hair, then your tires are fine. If you can, then you should bring your car in for a tire replacement.

What Other Tire-Related Problems Should I Look out For?

On top of appropriate tread levels, drivers should also keep an eye on things like bubbles or bulges in the tire’s sidewall, which could be a big indicator of internal tire damage. You should also be aware of how your car is driving, as vibrations in your steering wheel or the vehicle pulling to one side or the other indicate poor alignment or other serious issues.

The Nissan Leaf Plus

P1260532.jpg

 

Nissan has just announced pricing for their upcoming 62kWh Leaf Plus model, which will be available in the US starting later this month.

The starting price comes in just around the expected level, at $36,550.  The Leaf SV Plus will be $38,510, and the top trim, the Leaf SL Plus, is priced at $42,550.

Nissan’s price announcement is not unexpected, as stated in our first drive review we expected it to be very close to the starting price of the Chevy Bolt.  Nissan came in even closer than we expected, though – the Leaf starts at just $70 less than the Bolt does.

Comparing to other trims, the Bolt “Premier” is $41,895, so the Leaf SL Plus is a little more expensive than that, though the available options aren’t exactly the same.  Essentially, these two cars are about the same price through the various option levels.

All Leaf Plus models will cost an additional $895 for destination and handling – comparable to the destination charges for other competing vehicles.

2019 Nissan Pathfinder Model Review

What’s New for the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder?

In the latest model year, there are plenty of exciting changes to look forward to in the ever-popular Nissan Pathfinder. The company’s best-selling SUV is back and better than ever this year with a variety of new standard and available safety features and plenty of user-friendly technology that pumps out the tunes and keeps everyone connected on the road.

From standard USB charging ports and an infotainment center to available heated and leather seats, you have many options for creating a custom ride in the latest Pathfinder. A slight modification to the exterior has made the Pathfinder more attractive than ever. But don’t let its good looks fool you – this SUV’s 6,000-pound towing capacity will handle all your work and outdoor adventure needs.

Trims and Features Lineup for the 2019 Pathfinder

In 2019, you have four trim levels to choose from in the Nissan Pathfinder. The base model is simply called the “S.” This trim level features a wide range of standard amenities. If you get this trim level, you can choose from a two-wheel drive or front-wheel drive, as you can with the other trim levels too. On the inside, you’ll get the Pathfinder signature eight-inch infotainment display screen featuring an infotainment center, audio controls, and device connectivity.

New for this year, all trim levels get USB-C charging ports. Two come standard on the base model. Moving up to the SV, you’ll get even more standard features, such as intelligent cruise control, highly visible fog lights, and a remote engine start.

This trim level also comes with more standard safety features. A tri-zone climate control and cabin microfilter, which purifies air on the go, are other highlights of the 2019 SV. Next up is the SL. This trim level builds on its predecessors’ amenities with LED headlights, which increase your visibility and help the SL be more visible to other drivers. For convenience, you’ll find a motion-activated liftgate in this trim level. It also has an intelligent all-around monitor that keeps track of movement to the sides and rear of the vehicle to help you avoid hitting objects.

Luxury is accommodated for in the SL, which features standard heated leather front seats. Moving up to the top-level Platinum, you’ll get a premier Bose sound system with 13 speakers. This trim level also gets bigger, bolder 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels. Climate controlled front seats, which are both heated and cooled, and a panoramic sunroof are other notable standard features in this trim level.

What are the Benefits of OEM Parts vs Aftermarket Parts?

Ensured Quality Standards

OEM parts might look similar to aftermarket parts, but they have several differences. The manufacturer builds OEM parts, so the parts are made to fit your vehicle. OEM parts are designed to increase your car’s longevity. An aftermarket part can reduce your vehicle’s performance if it does not fit properly. The replacement automotive parts are mass-produced. They are not designed to meet the manufacturer’s quality standards.

Benefits of Leasing

10-Things-Parents-Should-Know-for-New-Teen-Drivers.jpg

To buy or to lease, that is the question! While we can’t answer that for you, we can provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision.

Buying a car is a big step, one that you may not be completely financially or otherwise prepared for. Whatever the case may be, leasing is a beneficial alternative to buying that will help get you into an amazing new Nissan.

More Freedom to Choose and Change Your Mind

Leasing gives you the opportunity to drive new cars frequently and easily, and to see what you like and don’t like. While average lease terms span two to three years, there is often room for negotiation, although it may affect your monthly payments. When your lease ends, you return it to the dealership with no hassle, given that it is in great shape with no mileage overage.

Leasing also gives you more freedom to meet your needs as they change. While you may need a truck right now, in a couple years you might want an SUV instead. With a Nissan lease, you have power to make the best decisions for right now without worrying about accommodating lifestyle changes.

No Need to Clear Out Your Savings

Whether you are saving for a house or that next new piece of tech, you won’t need to empty your accounts in order to drive a new Nissan in Phoenix. Although it is best to have some expendable money saved up for a down payment, lease agreements often require less upfront. This means that you can have your cake and eat it too!

Drive Better for Less

Perhaps the most convincing benefit of leasing is the lower monthly cost. When leasing, your payments are based on the value of the vehicle you are using as opposed to its entire value. Lower monthly payments also mean you may qualify for a nicer car or an upgraded model that would normally be out of your budget.

Maintenance Made Easy

When leasing, you get a vehicle during the best years of its life. Aside from normal upkeep like oil changes, tire rotations and other manufacturer-recommended services, a new car generally doesn’t see the inside of a mechanic’s garage all too much. However, new vehicles are usually covered with at least a 36-month warranty. This means that should any problems arise, most repairs would be covered at little cost to you.

These are only a few of the amazing benefits that come with leasing a new Nissan. To learn more about our leasing offers, visit us today at Midway Nissan in Phoenix!

Keeping Your Car Safe: Tips for Preventing Auto Theft

Car thief, car theft

According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports, over 773,000 motor vehicles were reported stolen in 2017. While auto theft has decreased over the last few decades, the Insurance Information Institute (III) notes that a vehicle is stolen every 40.9 seconds in the United States.

Thieves have gotten increasingly savvy, using smart keys to steal cars and switching vehicle identification numbers to avoid detection, says the III. So, how do you help protect yourself from becoming a victim of car theft? Be vigilant about securing your car, and take preventive measures to keep your car safe. Here are 10 things you can do to help protect your car from theft.

1. Lock Your Doors

Keeping your doors locked is the first step in deterring a thief. It’s good to get into the habit of checking your car doors.

2. Remove Your Keys from the Vehicle

Never leave your keys in the ignition, says the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). If your key is in the car, a thief can simply break a window and drive off. Firestone also cautions against leaving your car running, even if you’re just going into a store for a quick errand. A running vehicle may be an easy mark for a thief, especially if it is unattended or unlocked.

3. Do Not Leave a Spare Key Near Your Vehicle

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends taking your keys with you when you leave your car. Some people keep a spare key under the car or in the glove box, just in case they get locked out — but thieves know where to check for an extra key. While getting locked out of your car is a pain, think about the potential hassle of your car getting stolen.

4. Close the Windows

Keep your windows closed completely, says the NICB. A thief can simply reach into your car through an open window — taking what they can reach or unlocking the door to gain full access to your vehicle and everything in it.

5. Park in Well-Lit Areas

Avoid parking in areas that are poorly lit or places that are not immediately seen by passers-by. Firestone Complete Auto Care recommends parking under a light and in a well-trafficked area, as thieves may be deterred if they know they can easily be seen.

6. Install an Audible Alarm System and Anti-Theft Device

The NHTSA recommends installing an audible alarm system, if your car did not come with one, and using a visible anti-theft device. An audible alarm is designed to emit a loud noise, often the car’s horn, if someone attempts to enter the vehicle while the alarm is on. The unwanted attention attracted by the noise may chase off a potential thief, says the NHTSA. There are quite a variety of car alarms available, says Angie’s List, but keep in mind that you may need to have a mechanic or alarm technician install it for you — especially if the installation requires working with the vehicle’s wiring system.

Visible devices, such as a steering wheel lock, window etching or an alarm system’s flashing light, may also be enough to deter a car thief, according to the NHTSA. If they are not sure they can get away with the car quietly or fear they may get caught, Firestone says they may just avoid your vehicle altogether.

7. Install a Vehicle Immobilizer System

Thieves can bypass your ignition by “hotwiring” your car, but you can help prevent this by using a vehicle immobilizer system, says the NHTSA. According to the NICB, immobilizer systems may incorporate smart keys, kill switches and wireless ignition authentication. They’ll essentially disable the vehicle so that a thief cannot make off with it. You may need to have a mechanic or technician who is familiar with the vehicle’s wiring and computer systems install the immobilizer in your vehicle, says Angie’s List.

8. Install a Tracking System

You may want to consider installing a tracking system, which can also be called a vehicle recovery system. (As with the other alarms, you may need to have a professional install the device.) When your car is stolen, this tracking system will use wireless and/or GPS technology to emit a signal to the police or a monitoring service of your vehicle’s location, says the NICB. This may help the police recover your vehicle faster.

9. Don’t Leave Valuables in Your Car

One way to attract a thief is to leave a purse, cell phone or another high-value item in a highly visible area of your car. It’s best to leave anything of value at home, but, if you must have something important with you, keep it out of sight. Firestone also recommends putting valuables in the trunk before you get where you need to be, as some thieves scope parking lots — looking for people who are moving items to their trunk. Once you’ve left the vehicle, they’ll break into the trunk to grab whatever you stashed away.

10. Be Alert

Be aware of your surroundings when you park your car, says PropertyCasualty360.com. If you are wary of the safety of your car or see someone loitering around the parking lot, it’s best to park somewhere else. Firestone also recommends double-checking that your vehicle’s windows and doors are closed before leaving your car unattended.

What To Do If Your Car Is Stolen

If your car is stolen, contact the police immediately. The NHTSA says you may need to provide the following information to the police:

  • The year, make, model and color of the car
  • License plate number
  • Vehicle Identification Number (also called the “VIN”)

You’ll also want to let your insurance company know within 24 hours if your vehicle has been stolen, says the NHTSA.

While auto theft is not as common as it once was, it is unfortunately still something you need to protect yourself against. Thankfully, taking a few simple precautions may help you reduce the chances of your car being stolen.
