Nissan Gives $1 Million To Habitat For Humanity—Again.

“Nissan has a heroic history with Habitat for Humanity.”

 

More than a decade ago, Nissan donated 50 trucks and their employees’ time in order to help and support home building efforts in the Gulf Coast region after it was hit by major hurricanes Katrina and Rita, causing severe damage to the area. That was the beginning of a partnership with Habitat for Humanity that has grown over the years, resulting in donations from Nissan totaling around $14 million.

 

This past August, Nissan North America announced a $1 million grant to help build more homes for families in need. Decent, affordable housing is simply out of reach for many, and it is part of the mission of Nissan North America to enrich the lives of people.

 

Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International said,

“We thank Nissan for continuing to give back to communities across the country… we are grateful for their long-term support and commitment to help families build strength, stability and self-reliance.”

 

The largest portion of the $1 million grant will be used to build more homes for those who are in need of decent, affordable housing. A smaller portion will be used to add more vehicles to Habitat’s current fleet in order to support disaster recovery efforts. Nissan employees will again volunteer their time and participate in community revitalization projects and home construction. Projects this year will happen in 12 Habitat communities across the country and in Canada.

 

“Our employees look forward to working alongside future homeowners, and their experiences affirm our corporate mission to enrich people’s lives” said Nissan Vice President Rebecca Vest. “Nissan values its partnership with Habitat for Humanity because it delivers strong results each year in building sustainable communities in the areas where our employees live and work.”

2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER AVAILABLE THIS MONTH

nissan pathfinder

“The 2017 Nissan Pathfinder is a great buy—get it early.”

The anticipation has been building and we are finally here in September, the month of the SUV. One model that we are very excited about is the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder, which was officially released this month for purchase. There is no doubt this one is going to be popular so if you are in the market to buy, hurry in to Cardinal Nissan Seaside and see what we’ve got.

What we love about the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder is that it finally has brought its styling up to its performance level. In 2013 the Pathfinder went from body-on-frame construction to a unibody platform, making it more of a crossover classification than a true SUV. This is all good because the crossover category is where the growth is. However, it took a few more years for the Pathfinder to find itself: just because it’s officially a crossover, doesn’t mean it has to forego its outdoorsy, truck-like appeal.

Pathfinder lovers missed the “boxy” shape. It made Pathfinder distinctive in its category. Drivers identified the profile with being more credible off-road and didn’t want to have the crossover that looks like every other.

Enter the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder from our favorite Japanese manufacturer. Just in time to celebrate SUV September (Maybe we should call this month “Suv-tember”) The 2017 Nissan Pathfinder brings back its truck-ish design so it looks more like what it used to look like: Rugged, tough and ready to go off-road. (Even if you’re really just shuttling the kids to school, at least you look like you could take on rougher terrain.)

It only makes sense that a vehicle called the Pathfinder would be able to find itself once again.

Prevent the Preventable – Replace Your Wiper Blades

Your windshield wiper blades are a small component of your vehicle, but maintaining and replacing the blades are necessary as your vehicle ages. Windshield wiper blades play an important role, though you may not think about them often. They give you the ability to view the road ahead, clearing your windshield of rain, snow and debris.

Having adequate windshield wiper blades keeps you safe on the road. Think back to when you were surprised by a sudden storm or ran out of windshield wiper fluid. If neither of these things have happened to you, count yourself lucky and prepare yourself for the inevitable. Because the windshield wiper blades are located on the outside of your vehicle, they are exposed to the elements all year long. They endure heat and direct sunlight in the summer and last through the sleet, snow and cold in the winter. These guys keep you safe every season, so they’re bound to wear out.

Knowing when to change your windshield wiper blades is important so you aren’t stuck in an unsafe circumstance. Most manufacturers and service technicians advise drivers to change their wiper blades twice a year. This guarantees they will be in top shape year round, and it helps you avoid having worn out wiper blades when you need them the most. Driving your vehicle in areas that has more rain or driving long distances that causes you to use your windshield wipers more frequently can also cause the wiper blades to wear more quickly.

Service departments at most dealerships, like Cardinale Nissan, can check your windshield wiper blades and give you more information about the best options for you. For more information, contact the service department and schedule an appointment to find out more. Visit http://www.cardinalenissan.com/car-service-seaside-ca
