As long as you prepare your vehicle and brush up on safe driving habits with expert service from Avondale Nissan, monsoon season doesn’t have to be stressful. Call or visit our dealership today to learn how we can get you and your Nissan model ready for the harsh weather.

Prepare Your Vehicle With Specialized Service at Avondale Nissan

First and foremost, you’ll need to make sure your vehicle is healthy so it can perform at its best during a monsoon. Some of the maintenance tasks we can perform when you schedule an appointment at Avondale Nissan include:

• Oil change
• Tire check and rotation
• Wheel alignment
• Battery test
• Brake inspection

These services help maximize traction, braking performance, and overall reliability when road conditions suddenly change. We’ll also inspect your windshield wipers, washer fluid, and windshield defogger to help maximize visibility during heavy rain and sudden dust storms. Also, assemble an emergency kit with some water, first aid supplies, and an extra phone charger that you can keep inside your vehicle throughout the stormy season.

Safe Driving Advice

If you’re caught on the road when a monsoon strikes, your first step is to stay calm. If possible, pull off the road and seek shelter in a safe place until the storm passes. If that’s not an option and you need to keep driving, turn on your headlights and drive slowly to enhance your control and avoid hydroplaning. Never attempt to drive through a flooded roadway. Even shallow moving water can be dangerous, and Arizona’s “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” guidance applies throughout monsoon season.
