Spring is here and we’re all looking to spend more time out in the sun! That means the roads are going to be a bit busier, and not just with other cars! Motorcyclists will be out and about as well! As a driver, it’s essential to take precautions to keep yourself and other road users safe, including motorcyclists. Motorcycles are smaller and less visible than cars, making them more vulnerable to accidents. Here is Loughead Nissan’s list of tips to keep motorcyclists safe on the roads:
- Check your mirrors frequently: Make it a habit to check your mirrors frequently, especially when changing lanes or turning. This can help you spot motorcycles that may be in your blind spots.
- Keep a safe distance: Motorcycles can stop much faster than cars, so keep a safe following distance of at least three to four seconds to avoid rear-ending them.
- Use your turn signals: Always use your turn signals when changing lanes or turning to alert other drivers, including motorcyclists, of your intentions.
- Avoid distractions: Distracted driving is dangerous for all road users, including motorcyclists. Avoid texting, eating, or anything else that takes your attention away from the road.

Spring is finally here and boy are we glad it is! Flowers will begin to bloom, birds will begin to sing, and we’ll all have to get started on our spring cleaning checklist! To help you get going on yours, Loughead Nissan has put together our top 5 spring cleaning tips! Check those tips out below and if you want your vehicle to be spring fresh inside and out, don’t hesitate to schedule your service appointment at our Nissan Service Center today!
Loughead Nissan’s Top 5 Spring Cleaning Tips:
Change out your winter tires.
- Leaving your winter tires on during all four seasons can actually cause a lot of damage and even be dangerous. Once it looks like the coast is clear and we won’t be getting any more snow, set a day aside to change out your tire.
Wash your car’s exterior.
- Wash and wax your vehicle’s exterior to get rid of dust, dirt, and salt that has built up during the winter. If left unprotected from the elements your car could be susceptible to fading paint, scratches, and rust!
Clean out your trunk.
- Our truck is basically our closet on the go. We tend to throw a lot of useless stuff in there. Well, it’s time to rip off the bandaid and take everything out. Keep only the most important items, make some space for new things, and don’t forget to shake out the trunk carpet liner.
Clean the interior.
- It’s dangerous to have your floors covered in clutter! Roll up your sleeves and take out any items that don’t belong! You should also check under the seats and vacuum all the dirt and dried salt. Don’t ignore your vehicle’s seats! Vacuum the cracks and whip down the seats as best you can!
Take a look under the hood.
- Under the hood is where the heart of your vehicle lives. Make sure that it is clear of debris and dead leaves! A clean engine prolongs the life of your vehicle as well as prevents any further mechanical issues.
We all love spring right?! Fresh starts and blooming buds chase away the dreary winter! But, one thing about spring that may not be as much fun is the pollen that’s in the air. Irritating your eyes, nose, throat, and more, people who are sensitive to allergens may really have a hard time in the months ahead! Well, fear not! Loughead Nissan has put together a guide on how to allergy-proof your vehicle this Spring! Check that out below, and if you don’t have the time or tools to take on this job alone, schedule a service appointment at our Nissan Service Center and let our team get your ride sparkling clean!
Loughead Nissan’s Guide For Allergy-Proofing Your Ride:
Scrub It Down (Inside & Out)
- Starting by wiping down your dashboard, seating, and vents as often as possible with a damp microfiber cloth. This’ll help contain the pollen on the cloth instead of just spreading it around or reintroducing it to the air. Next, vacuum your carpeting and be sure to clean and let your floor mats dry completely in a covered space. Finally, be sure to stop by the car wash to hose down your car’s exterior so as to clear it of any pollen that may accumulate.
Be Conscious Of What You Bring In
- Oftentimes your clothing and shoes are the way allergens get carried into your ride. While we can’t avoid this completely, removing the top layer of clothing you may have had on– like a jacket, scarf, or hat– could help keep allergens out of your ride. Try storing them in a separate area like a plastic bin in your trunk or a bag in the back seat. And while we know it’s tempting to roll them down to feel the spring breeze, be sure to keep your windows closed during peak pollen times to keep allergens out.
Replace Your Filters And Floor Mats
- If you can’t remember the last time you changed your air filters, then now is the perfect time to get some new ones. All-weather floor mats are a great way to cut back on the number of allergens that make your carpeting their home. In fact it’d probably be a good idea to wrap all of the cloth surfaces in your car with washable covers as it makes it easier to clean them.

When you think about the safety features of your vehicle, you probably think airbags, emergency brakes, and blind spot monitoring technology. But what if we told you that you’re overlooking an important piece of equipment? Windshield wipers are often an underrated and forgotten part of your everyday drive! That’s why you need to make sure that your wipers are in tip-top shape and routinely check them for wear and tear. Do you know the warning signs that indicate your wipers are worn out? Do you know what factors to try and avoid to extend the longevity of your wipers? Take a look below, and if your vehicle is in need of some serious maintenance, schedule your service appointment with the Loughead Nissan team today!
When you’re checking out your wiper blades, look for these indicators of wear:
- Broken frame: detachment of frame arms at joints or connection points.
- Metal Corrosion: especially at joints and claws.
- Visible cracks, tears, and missing pieces in the rubber squeegee’s edge.
- Flex rubber squeegee back and forth to see if it is still flexible. Aged squeegees will have difficulty conforming to the shape of your windshield and create streaks.
- Check squeegee wiping edge for rounded edges which can prevent the wiper blade from making strong contact with the windshield and reduces wipe quality.
- Tug to ensure the wiper blade has been securely installed on the wiper arm.
- Check that squeegee is secure in the wiper frame.
Your wipers can break down due to several factors:
- Sun: Ultraviolet light and ozone deterioration
- Oil: Car waxes and exhaust hold rubber-deteriorating oil
- Airborne debris: Sand, mud and dust carried in the wind
- Moisture: Acid rain and salt water (in moist air both near the shore and inland)
