Before you drive your vehicle, you must always ensure that everything functions properly, and that starts with the parts you use. Do you want to use more affordable aftermarket alternatives or OEM parts from your Nissan dealer? There are good reasons to stick with the real thing, even though the aftermarket replacements might seem like a good deal.
1. Guaranteed Quality
Any part that goes into your Nissan is thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure it meets recognized quality standards and applicable regulations. What’s more, these parts are made from high-quality materials that meet the design specifications and standards required for reliable performance. Aftermarket parts, in contrast, may not always adhere to the same stringent quality control, leading to decreased performance or no guarantee of success.

Don’t let its amazingly low price tag fool you. The 2024 Nissan Kicks comes packed with a host of compelling features that promises a genuinely enjoyable drive. The subcompact SUV has sleek, head-turning style to boot. Let’s take an in-depth look at each of the three trims offered by the Kicks.
Kicks S
The base S model is motivated by the naturally aspirated 1.6L inline-4 that comes standard across the lineup. Through Nissan’s engaging Xtronic continuously variable transmission, the engine delivers 122 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque to the drive wheels. This performance combines with the vehicle’s low curb weight of just over 2,600 pounds to provide brisk acceleration. An independent front suspension and stabilizer bars promote solid handling.
Stylish 16-inch steel wheels are standard, plus buyers may add a rear spoiler for an extra touch of sportiness. Standard driver assist technologies, such as hill start assist, lane departure monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts mean that you can rest easy while navigating through town. The Kicks S has an inviting, spacious cabin that comfortably seats five adults and features a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen system with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay integration.

Most models of the Pathfinder feature a 284-horsepower V6 that delivers 259 pound-feet of torque, with a nine-speed automatic and your choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Navigating the Financing Options at Nissan of Bowie
There are lots of different ways to finance a new car. If you’re seeking car financing in the form of a loan, then you could seek that loan through banks, credit unions, online lenders, or your Nissan dealer. Because of the huge number of benefits that come with it, dealership financing is often the best choice.
Buying a Car
If you’re looking to buy a car, then you can seek financing right through your local dealer. The process is simple. You fill out a form, it gets sent off to multiple lenders, and then the dealer tells you about the offers. It’s pretty much the same as seeking financing through a bank or credit union, but there are many more benefits that come with it, which we’ll explore later.
Buying a car lets you own that car and do whatever you want with it. You can customize it, and one day, you’ll finish paying it off and have no monthly car payments for several years until it’s time to buy a new car again.
The 2024 Nissan Murano is a uniquely stylish mid-sized crossover, with a cabin roomy enough that both front and rear-row occupants will find it comfortable. Even the base model of this line has so many technology and safety features that you may find it unnecessary to look at the higher-level trims. However, it would be a shame to miss out on seeing just how luxurious the Murano can be.

Keeping your Nissan in good condition is easy if it receives regular Nissan maintenance. This allows our technicians to identify and fix minor issues before they develop and cause component failure or other damage. As your Nissan dealer, we want to tell you about some of the maintenance tasks we offer.
Tire Alignment
Tire alignment is the angle of your wheels in relation to the axle. Your tires might point inward or outward from the front and might angle slightly inward or outward when viewed from above. It’s also possible that your tires are perpendicular to the ground and face directly forward. The designers choose the angles that provide the best stability and traction for your model.
Tire alignment can change over time due to driving conditions or accidents, and incorrectly angled tires develop a characteristic wear pattern. Poor alignment can also damage the axles, shocks, and struts. We can correct any alignment problem by connecting your Nissan to our alignment machine. This machine uses a computer to correctly angle each of your tires.
