Calling all Volkswagen drivers! We have some pretty exciting news for you guys – February is coming to end, which means March will be here soon! What does that mean for Nissan drivers? Well, that means spring is right around the corner and warmer days are ahead of…aka road trip season is almost here! After a very long 2020 and equally as long winter (at least it feels that way), I’m sure you’re just itching to get out and adventure and in some warmer weather…we are too! However, before you hit the road this spring, be sure to give your Nissan the TLC it deserves. Regular maintenance helps keep your Nissan running in tip-top shape, and helps you avoid running into costly repairs down the road. After a long snowy winter, your Nissan is probably in need of some service. So where to start? Great question – As always, we’re here to help! Below you will find five spring maintenances that are DIY friendly and a must for all drivers. If you find you need assistance with any or all of your spring maintenance, leave it to our professionals! Just schedule a service appointment online now, and check out our service specials page to see how you can save big!
Give Your Vehicle A Good Wash
- Winter can be tough on your vehicle’s exterior. Freezing temperatures and salt from the road can do real damage to your paint job, so make sure to start the season with a car wash.
- If you choose to go to a car wash, go for the premium wash to get all the nooks and crannies and a deep clean after months of harsh road conditions.
- If you do it yourself, make sure to add baking soda to the wash water if your car has a strong salt buildup. This will help neutralize the salt and save your paint job.
Tire Check
- When it looks like the snow is finally done falling, be sure to switch from your snow tires to your all-season tires.
- Once you have your tires back on, be sure to grab your owners manual to find the Manufacturer recommended air pressure. Not only is this important for alignment, but also can give you better gas mileage and save your money at the tank!
- Make sure your tires are rotated regularly and don’t wait until you have a visible flat to fill them up.
- Check your tires for worn tread and make sure to replace your tires when the treading becomes too worn. If you’re not sure if you need new tires, use the penny test to determine!
Battery Check
- After a long brutal winter, you’re going to want to check your battery’s life.
- Stop by the dealership for a battery test to see the life of your car’s battery. If your battery is getting weak, you can prevent future problems by replacing it before it stops working.
- If you find you’re in need of a new battery, be sure to check out our service offers page to see if you can take advantage of any battery offers!
Replace Wiper Blades and Fluids
- Snow, sleet, and ice can cause wear on your windshield wipers – and it’s no secret how dirty your windows get with slush getting kicked up at you on the road. This means spring is the perfect time to get new wiper blades and top off your windshield wiper fluid levels for all the spring rain coming your way very soon.
- New wiper blades are inexpensive and simple to replace, so you won’t even need to pay someone to do it for you. However, our team of experts is always here to help you if needed!
Oil Change
- Your vehicle works hard to get you where you need to go, especially during the winter months. That’s why spring is the perfect time to give your care the TLC/pick-me-up your vehicle needs.
- Regular oil changes can make all the difference in making sure your car has a long, healthy life.
- Whether your vehicle needs a regular oil change or synthetic oil change, our team is here to assist you!
- Be sure to check out our service offers page to see what offers are available to you!
- If you will be performing the oil change on your own, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s suggestions for oil change intervals and oil viscosity, and make sure to change the oil filter as well.

Must Have Winter Driving Tips | Gaithersburg, MD
Snow is falling and it’s starting to look like a winter wonderland outside, so we thought it was the perfect time to refresh you all on some winter driving tips! Driving in the snow can be stressful, scary, and overall not a good time. We do want to urge all readers to avoid travel if they can during snowstorms, however, we understand this isn’t always possible. So, if you have to hit the road during a winter storm, we’ve got you covered! Below you can find winter driving tips for snowy drives, long drives, and everyday drives! I know what you’re thinking, you are no stranger to the snow, but it never hurts to refresh your memory on the best practices for winter driving! And if you’re looking to start your search for a new Nissan, simply head over to our website to view our entire inventory and schedule a test drive today!
Tips For Driving In The Snow:
- Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Applying the gas slowly to accelerate is the best method for gaining traction and avoiding skids.
- Drive slowly. Everything takes longer on snow-covered roads. Accelerating, stopping, turning – nothing happens as quickly as on dry pavement. Give yourself time to maneuver by driving slowly.
- The normal dry pavement following distance of three to four seconds should be increased to eight to ten seconds
- Know your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes or not, the best way to stop is threshold braking.
- Don’t stop if you can avoid it.
- Don’t stop going up a hill. There’s nothing worse than trying to get moving up a hill on an icy road.
- Make it know what kind of driving assistance you have (AAA, Roadside Assistance, etc.)
Everyday Driving Tips:
- Avoid driving while you’re fatigued.
- Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, such as a garage.
- Make certain your tires are properly inflated.
- Keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid gas line freeze-up.
- If possible, avoid using your parking brake in cold, rainy, and snowy weather.
- Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery surface (wet, ice, sand).
- Always look and steer where you want to go.
- Use your seat belt every time you get into your vehicle.
Long-Distance Driving Tips:
- Watch Weather Reports
- Service your vehicle before hitting the road
- Keep at least half a tank at all times
- If you become snow-bound, stay with your vehicle. It provides temporary shelter and makes it easier for rescuers to locate you.
- Tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna or place a cloth at the top of a rolled-up window to signal distress, if needed.
- Make sure the exhaust pipe isn’t clogged with snow, ice, or mud if you slide off the road

It’s a new year, which means we are trying to do better than the year before. And a great way to keep your resolutions to start with small things. One simple resolution you can start with is taking better care of your vehicle! We’ve talked many times about servicing your vehicle regularly, but this week we are going to talk about something a little different! We know life gets crazy and even though it feels like you just cleaned out your car last week, it’s actually been months and it’s a mess! It’s okay, it happens to the best of us. That’s why this week we are here to help you get your car sparkly clean and organized in only four simple steps! So take a peek at our helpful hints below, and if you’re just not feeling like you want to maintain your vehicle, we totally understand and want to help! Just check out our maintenance packages for your Volkswagen and schedule an appointment today!
Step 1: Sort and clean
- Take everything out of the car, including car seats, music, and miscellaneous items stored in the glove box and door pockets.
- Don’t forget the trunk and cargo area!
- Organize the rest of the items into three piles: stuff you use all the time, things you use occasionally, and items you might need in an emergency. Whatever doesn’t fall into these categories should be stored in your home or garage.
Step 2: Analyze
- Ask yourself, “How do I use my car?”
- Are you the taxi driver? Maybe you’re a parent with two toddlers in car seats or a salesman who travels with a trunkload of samples. Whatever it is, figure it out.
Step 3: Prioritize
- Depending upon your needs, go through your three piles and prioritize the most important items in each group
- And just like seasonal clothes in a closet, many items such as ice scrapers and emergency kits should be stored back in your vehicle
Step 4: Contain your needs
- Loose objects in the car lead to disorganization and mess. In the event of a sudden stop or a crash, they can also damage your car or, worse, injure your occupants. Get yourself a good organizer to keep all of your items concise and easy to access.
It’s almost time to conquer 2021, and the best way to do that is to set your intentions with New Year’s resolutions!
