Football season is officially here, and it’s safe to say that we’re thrilled, just like you! There’s nothing quite like loading up the car and heading out to a game with friends and family. While the main event is, of course, the game itself, there’s another aspect we can’t overlook – the tailgate party! Fans, whether cheering for their college or pro teams, converge on game venues to unite with fellow enthusiasts for food, games, and to show unwavering support for their teams. If you’re at the stadium in person, skipping the tailgate is out of the question! The right food and music are must-haves, but arguably, the most crucial ingredient for a fantastic tailgating party is your vehicle. So, how can you transform your ride into the ultimate tailgate hub? Fortunately, we’ve got you covered in this week’s blog! Take a look below, and let’s kick off this party!

Prepare For Tailgate Season With These Tips:
Basics:
- Every tailgate has basics, these include chairs, tables, food (it’s a must), drinks, coolers, plates, utensils, and a grill (be the grill master of the tailgate party)!
Take It Up A Notch:
- Everybody can bring a grill and some food, but that doesn’t make them tailgate masters…take it to the next level with portable phone chargers, wireless speakers and a portable satellite TV so that you and your guests can watch the pre-game action at the same time. You’ll definitely get some brownie points for that!
All Decked Out:
- What is a tailgate without some team pride?? Not a good one that’s for sure! Get all decked out, apparel, magnet decor for your vehicle, balloons, foam fingers, and don’t forget to serve the opposing team fans a burger on a paper plate that has your team’s decor…oh yeah I went there!
Location:
- You can have everything for the perfect tailgate party, but it won’t be enough without the right spot! Weather is never perfect, especially in the months ahead, so get there early and ensuring you get the perfect spot that shelters your vehicle from the sun, wind, and rain are generally a wise choice.

It’s Not Too Early To Learn How To Store Your Summer Tires Using This Guide From Bennington Nissan | Bennington, VT
As you enjoy splashing in the pool and beach outings this summer, don’t forget that the season will eventually wind down, and it’ll be time to think about storing those summer tires. At Zappone Subaru, we understand the importance of proper tire care and storage, and we’re here to help you get the most out of your tires with our easy-to-follow guide.

Bennington Nissan’s Guide To Storing Your Summer Tires:
Keep Them Clean:
- The golden rule of tire storage is cleanliness. Brake dust, road grime, and other residues can damage your tires if not cleaned off before storage. Use soap, a tire brush, and water to scrub your tires thoroughly. Opt for an approved wheel cleaner and steer clear of tire gloss or dressings. Ensure they are completely dry before moving to the next step.

Airtight is Right:
- After cleaning, place your tires in large, dark, airtight plastic bags—garden bags or specialized tire storing bags are ideal. Expel as much air as possible and seal the bag with a zip tie or tape to prevent oil compounds from escaping.
Upright is Important:
- Store your tires upright to avoid deformation; this is crucial if they’re still mounted on wheels. If unmounted, you can store them white to white and black to black to keep them pristine.
Store Your Tires Like a Pro:
- Keep your tires in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ozone, like electric motors and furnaces. Basements, climate-controlled garages, or workshops are ideal. Avoid places with extreme temperature fluctuations or moisture.

If you’re in need of a tune-up, now is the time to take advantage of our special service offer at Bennington Nissan!

Inflation has been raising the prices of just about everything in the last couple of months and fuel is no exception. With commutes to work, school drop-off lines, and late summer travel plans, we know that gas is a necessity! So take a good look at our tips below, and if you’re looking to get behind the wheel of a more fuel-efficient Nissan model, explore Bennington Nissan’s available inventory today using our convenient online portal today!
Bennington Nissan’s Fuel Saving Tips:
Keep Track Of Your Mileage
- Knowing what mileage you’re getting in real-time compared to what you got last time you were out and about. Most newer vehicles have this function and allow you to view it in your virtual cockpit and you can compare your driving performance to the EPA-estimated MPG.

Try And Avoid Unnecessary Braking
- Be aware of your surroundings and diligently obey speed limits. This will help keep you from having to brake quickly to avoid obstacles and will hopefully keep you in rhythm with the rest of traffic so you won’t have to speed up or slow down too often.
Drive Using Momentum
- When you’re headed uphill, it takes a lot more effort to maintain speed than it does going down, so give the car a break and let yourself lose a few mph on the way up. Your car burns the most gas when it’s forced into high-load situations, so give it a break if you can.
Map Out Your Route Beforehand
- Take the path with fewer stoplights, not as much traffic and, yes, lower speed limits. Even if you save 0.1 gallons of gas each day, you’ll save more than over a hundred dollars per year!
Drive “Around” Rush Hour
- Most office buildings let out around the same hours on weekdays and we know you can’t just sit there till the roads are clear. Well, try alternate routes. It might add a few minutes to your commute but will save you more gas than having to deal with stop-and-go traffic!

This May, ensure your vehicle is ready for the road with our exclusive service special at Bennington Nissan. Enjoy 10% off on tire rotation and balance, a crucial maintenance step to keep your tires wearing evenly and your ride smooth.

Bennington Nissan wants to make things as easy as possible for you, so today we thought we’d share a guide to your ride post! What is brake fluid and why is it important? Well, brake fluid, also called hydraulic fluid, is a liquid chemical solution that pumps through your hydraulic braking system when you press down on the break. The fluid amplifies the force you use to press down and uses it to apply pressure onto your car’s brakes, allowing you to come to a complete stop with minimal exertion on your part. Braking fluid has to have a high boiling point because friction from the brake pads can create a lot of heat and threaten to evaporate surrounding liquids into gas, decreasing hydraulic pressure and your ability to effectively brake. You also have to be wary of your brake fluid’s viscosity as it needs to remain constant across wide ranges of temperature to properly relay the right amount of pressure to your brakes. Thankfully, Bennington Nissan offers a comprehensive brake service where our dedicated service professionals not only check your brake fluid but diligently go over the entirety of your braking system to be sure there are no issues. So, stay safe and schedule your next service appointment with a Bennington Nissan service team member.

3 Signs You Need to Get Your Brake Fluid Checked:
- “Soft”/“squishy” feeling brake pedal.
- This means there is less fluid in your lines to compress and create that pressure needed to fully brake
- Oily puddles forming under your car.
- This could be brake fluid leaking from any number of place within your hydraulic system
- The ABS warning light on your dashboard has come on.
- Those lights aren’t just there for decoration. They turn on to indicate your vehicle is in need or service in one way or the other.
