Sales Department FAQ
When Is the Best Time to Buy a New Nissan?
Some of the best times to purchase a new Nissan vehicle are around major holidays, especially Memorial Day and Labor Day. Labor Day in particular is often an opportune time, as dealerships are typically discounting the outgoing model year to make room for incoming inventory.
Why Should I Consider a Certified Pre-Owned Nissan?
Certified Pre-Owned vehicles offer several meaningful advantages over standard pre-owned options. Each one undergoes a thorough inspection and reconditioning process, comes with warranty coverage, and includes added benefits like 24/7 roadside assistance and a trial subscription to SiriusXM® satellite radio.

Service Department FAQ
How Often Should I Change My Oil and Rotate My Tires?
For oil changes, a general guideline is every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on the type of oil your vehicle uses. For tire rotations, we also recommend every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to help promote even wear and extend the life of your tires. Our team can confirm the right intervals for your specific Nissan model when you schedule Nissan service.
Parts Department FAQ
What Is the Difference Between OEM Parts and Aftermarket Parts?
OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts are built to the exact specifications of your vehicle, meaning they are designed to fit and perform the way your Nissan was engineered to from the factory. Aftermarket parts are produced by third-party manufacturers and may vary in quality, fit, and warranty coverage, and are not genuine Nissan parts.
