Across the nation over the next month, many Americans will embark on a longer-than-average journey to spend time with their loved ones while enjoying food and fellowship around the dinner table. It's a time of year when those who were gone at school come home to catch up and visit while spreading out in front of football games on TV and basking in the warmth of the company sorely missed during the long months away from home.

Many others will be hitting the road along with you as well, and practicing safe Thanksgiving driving is essential to assure that you and your loved ones avoid any collisions or other mishaps before this holiday's festivity. Here are a few tips for driving on Thanksgiving to see you through a special time where turkey and trimmings are the norm, and pumpkin pie rounds off the perfect meal with loved ones!

•  Thorough Vehicle Inspection:
  

  Long trips are not a time where you want to neglect any detail while looking over your car beforehand. The transmission, brakes, coolant, and oil fluids all should be topped off, and defrosting before you leave is important after any evening with low temps.  Make sure you are turkey ready either using our complimentary pick up and delivery, Home by INFINITI OF DENVER or come visit us in our Service Department.

• Schedule your Pre-thanksgiving service at https://www.infinitiofdenver.com/schedule-service-appt.html.  

• Have Ample Supplies:
  

  Making sure that you have enough snacking material and entertainment such as DVDs for the journey is important and can help to cut down on stops during the trip. Many travelers who have unexpectedly become stuck wished they had blankets with them, as they can be a life-saving asset during an emergency.

• GPS: A Handy Game-Changer:
  

  Most new INFINITI models come equipped with Navigation. No longer do travelers have to just throw up a wild guess when it comes to nearby restaurants or filling stations, or any inclement weather that may unexpectedly move in.  You can also see traffic real time.

• Seeing After the Safety of Pets:
  

  During an interstate drive with heavy traffic, the presence of pets can be a distraction for drivers and passengers alike. A cage or harness may be the best option to assure that your furry loved ones make the trip in a way that is most comfortable for everyone.

• The Urgency of Buckling Up:
  

  Aside from being the law in most states, this Is the easiest way to assure a top level of safety if there is a form of collision. Your younger passengers will be best protected by using child restraint seats and their respective seat belts, assuring that everyone on board gets to enjoy the warmth and memory-making of this special holiday.

• Imminent Dangers Of Distraction:
  

  Daydreaming of cranberries and stuffing sure to be present at the table is quite a distraction itself, but texting and talking on the phone can be as dangerous as intoxication! To assure a safe arrival and refrain from any traffic element taking you by surprise, it's best to pull over and handle anything on the smartphone with your hands off the wheel.

• Ideal INFINITI Choices for the Journey:
  

  As you are getting ready for one of the most important and rewarding times of the year, the ideal vehicle is going to render the trip comfortable as well as memorable. The 2023 INFINITI QX60 has been designed to live up to long-trip potential, boasting ProPILOT Assist technology and safety features such as Lane Departure Warning to take over if anything dangerous occurs. With seating for up to 8, the 2023 QX80 offers ideal space, a smooth ride, and keeps you safe for Turkey Day travels with Forward Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Detection.

When buying a car you have two options: pay cash upfront or finance it with a loan and pay monthly. Financing is the more common route and more than 61% of new car financing is done through the manufacturer or dealership. There are several benefits of financing a car – including helping you to establish credit, budget your payment monthly, and even increase your yearly returns with tax deductions – and dealer financing is even more beneficial.

With dealer financing, you’re offered a wide range of incentives like 1.9% financing or dealership-specific rebates that can’t be found elsewhere. 1.9% financing essentially means you pay interest on your car loan, and while it isn’t free money as some people call it, it’s about as close as you can get. Low financing can save you thousands in interest charges, which ultimately lowers the cost of your vehicle, highlighting one of the many benefits of financing a car through an auto dealer. The term “rebates” refers to a variety of financial incentives a dealership may offer. A rebate could be a cash discount, usually applied to your down payment. You could look at this as lowering the price of your vehicle upfront or putting cash in your pocket. Rebates are not at banks or credit unions.

Additionally, dealer financing allows you to get the benefit of a one-stop shopping experience, getting your car and financing it in the same place. You won’t have to worry about searching all over to get your car financed– you can arrive at the dealership and drive away with your new car. Financing your car at INFINITI OF DENVER is not only accessible and convenient, but our friendly finance managers will ensure you are offered the best finance rate you qualify for.

These are just some of the many benefits of financing a car through a dealership and INFINITI OF DENVER would love to see what we can do for. We offer a payment calculator so you can estimate your buying power and potential monthly payments, and we’ll work with you to ensure your complete satisfaction so you can experience the great benefits of dealer financing.

All drivers are likely aware of the phrase “share the road” but few know the rules of the road for vehicles and cyclists and how to effectively do so. INFINITI OF DENVER wants our drivers to coexist with cyclists to prevent accidents and injury and to help you avoid being ticketed for not following certain vehicle/cyclist road rules.

1. First, Stay in Your Lane!

The simplest tip to effectively coexist with cyclists is also the most obvious: don’t drive in the bike lane! Bike lanes are designed to give cyclists and drivers their own separate areas for each other’s safety, but drivers will often cut into the bike line, intentionally or unintentionally, to pass another vehicle, momentarily park, or give themselves more space. While it may seem trivial to just cut into the bike lane on occasion, it’s not a good habit to develop. Depending on the design of the road there could be a cyclist just over the hill or just around a bend that you’d have to swerve to avoid, risking your safety, their safety, and the safety of the other drivers on the road. Most accidents are caused when a driver doesn’t notice a cyclist and simply avoiding the bike lane in the first place can help you avoid an accident. This holds true especially at night considering over half of all bicycle accidents happen when it’s dark outside.

2. Passing Cyclists While Ensuring Safety

Passing cyclists while ensuring yours and their safety requires you to always pass on the left when traffic in the next lane over is clear. This requires patience so some drivers may need to adjust their attitude and remember the cyclist is also a person with their own right to the road. When passing cyclists, aggressive or impatient drivers will need to find a way to motivate themselves to give cyclists the room they need to stay safe on the road. Cyclists should be using hand signals to alert those around them when they are turning – a left arm extended straight out signals a left turn and either a partially raised left arm or a right arm extended straight out signals a right turn – so pay attention to these as well. Cyclists should also signal when they’re stopping or slowing down by extending an arm towards the ground. For a visual reference, consult page 10 of the Colorado Bicycling Manual.

3. Stay Alert

You should especially be aware and alert in urban areas, as there are already a number of distractions and oftentimes no bicycle lanes. Denver, Colorado is quite the bike friendly city and that won’t be changing anytime soon, so it’s good to familiarize yourself with the rules of the road for both cyclists and vehicles to ensure your safety and cyclist safety.

INFINITI Safety Features

Obviously, the rules above will improve your summer cyclist awareness, but to sweeten the deal even more, INFINITI also boasts a range of safety features that ensure an even safer commute for those in and outside the vehicle.

• With Forward Emergency Breaking, you can rely on your INFINITI to detect potential frontal collisions and brake in emergency situations.
• With Steering Assist features and the innovative Lane Departure Warning, your INFINITI will correct itself by centering the vehicle in its lane to avoid drifting.
• Your INFINITI may even include the Around View® Monitor which provides a 360 degree view of the car and its surroundings so you can stay aware of objects all around you.

We invite you to come experience the difference at INFINITI OF DENVER and shop our selection of new 2022 INFINITI models. Contact our sales experts or shop our safe, luxury vehicles online and experience the difference!

Summer is nearly here in Denver, and that means driving season is upon us. But before you go tearing through the Rockies or set out on your next long road trip, make sure you consider these summer driving tips from INFINITI OF DENVER.

1. Plan Ahead for Severe Weather

Check the forecast. Colorado can have severe summer weather like heavy rain, hail, and the occasional snow shower. Remain vigilant about road conditions and visibility, and plan ahead when possible.

2. Keep Your Speed Under Control

A lead foot is bad news. You could get a ticket, and speeding increases the risk of an accident. So stay under the speed limit, and consider using cruise control to “set and forget” your speed during long highway trips.

3. Always Use a Designated Driver if Drinking!

Never get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking. Use a designated driver to keep the fun rolling all summer long!

4. Buckle Up to Stay Safe & Avoid Tickets

If you don’t buckle your seatbelt in Colorado, you could get a ticket – and you have a much higher risk of dying in an accident. Make sure you and all your passengers are properly secured and buckled at all times.

5. Keep Your Eyes on The Road & Avoid Distractions

Yes, the Rockies are gorgeous – but don’t spend too much time drinking in the great view of Colorado. Stay focused on the road and the drivers around you, particularly when you’re in winding, mountainous areas.

6. Limit Cell Phone Use

Similar to the point above, it is important to stay off your phone while driving. Texting, tweeting, and talking are all hazardous to your focus behind the wheel, and it only takes a second to make a driving error that could hinder your passengers’ and your safety.

7. Maintain Your Car Before Your Next Road Trip

Make sure your tires are in good shape, change your oil, repair your brakes – long summer drives mean that you need to be more diligent about your car’s maintenance. Take it into the shop for a little TLC.

8. Check Your Fluid Levels

The summer heat makes overheating a real possibility. It’s a good idea to check your fluid levels, particularly your coolant, before heading out on a long drive. In fact, it’s an even better idea to service your vehicle before your next trip to prevent any unwanted surprises.

But with the advanced, modern features of the INFINITI lineup, you can stay safe in winter weather conditions. Learn more below or contact INFINITI OF DENVER now to explore our advanced luxury vehicles online or in person.

INFINITI Snow Mode

Many of our INFINITI models, like the 2021 INFINITI Q50 and the 2020 INFINITI QX60, are equipped with drive mode personalization options that allow you to optimize your drive according to the environmental conditions and driving preferences. The customizable selections elevate vehicle performance with adjustments to engine and transmission outputs, efficiency ratios, and steering ratios and force settings.

Among these selections is INFINITI’s unparalleled Snow Mode. When you utilize this option in snowy conditions, the assistive technology modifies your engine output to reduce wheel spin on slippery roads, modifying the throttle to cater to the wintery conditions for smoother performance and enhanced safety. In this mode, your INFINITI will be more responsive in the snow, and will have a less aggressive throttle profile.

In addition, INFINITI’s Snow Mode contributes to the AWD on your vehicle by closely monitoring wheel spin sensors and adjusting power delivery to improve handling.

All-Wheel Drive

Even without the Snow Mode, INFINITI AWD uses adaptive sensors and algorithms to optimize power delivery to the wheels, sending up to 50% of the front wheels when conditions are less-than-optimal. This is done automatically, and when conditions are optimal, 100% of power is automatically sent to the rear wheels to enhance on-road performance.

Pair the efficient All Wheel Drive settings with winter tires from INFINITI OF DENVER and our aggressive braking profile, and your vehicle will offer better overall snow handling with enhance traction and on-road performance.

INFINITI Vehicle Safety Standards

INFINITI’s Predictive Forward Collision Warning system monitors the velocity of your car, as well as the distance of the vehicles that are directly ahead of you. Predictive Forward Collision Warning technology sends both audio and visual alerts to the driver when a sudden movement or change is detected, ensuring you can respond quickly to any on-road dangers in inclement weather.

Not only that, but Forward Emergency Braking works in concert with Predictive Forward Collision Warning from INFINITI to automatically brake if you do not respond to alerts quickly.

Plus, winter weather won’t impede your visibility as your INFINITI navigates easily in the snow with High Beam Assist headlight technology and an INFINITI World's First Technology, the available Around View® Monitor system.

Let’s face it, staying indoors for months on end can make even the best of us become a little stir-crazy. As many regions push to get back to normal after the lengthy span of the COVID-19 pandemic, road trips have become a popular choice for those seeking a safer adventure than traditional travel options such as airplanes or public transit.

But before you decide who’s in charge of snacks and music, there are a few road trip tips you’ll want to consider. When preparing your car for a road trip, you should ensure that certain things are taken care of before you head out so you, your family, and your car stay safe as you trek across the country.

Things You Can Do to Prepare Your Car for a Road Trip

There are many small services and checks that you can perform right at home or in your driveway. They may be small but can save you a lot of hassle once you are on your way.

• Check your tire pressure and tread. The last thing you want is to blow a tire on the highway. If you have sufficient tire tread, make sure that the pressure levels are set to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
• Check your oil level. Low oil can create problems within your engine as moving parts won’t have the proper lubrication. You can top it off if it’s a little low, but you may need to consider having a technician complete an oil and filter change instead.
• Top off your washer fluid. As the warmer weather comes, so do the bugs. Make sure your washer fluid reservoir is full and carry extra fluid in case you need to top off while on the road.
• Check your lights. Blown bulbs make it difficult for you to see, and more importantly, they make it difficult for others to see you. Check all lights and signals to make sure you’ll remain visible.

Road Trip Preparation That You Should Leave to Your Local Service Technician

While some of the obvious checks can be completed at home, there are a number of services that you’ll want to have a certified technician perform to ensure that your vehicle is in roadworthy condition and all components are working properly.

• Oil change. A certified technician can ensure that your engine oil and oil filter are changed properly and that the right type and correct amount of oil is used. At INFINITI OF DENVER, we also conduct a complementary 27-point inspection with every oil change.  This way you know for certain that your car is ready for your road trip.
• Check engine light. If you have error codes that are causing lights to illuminate on your instrument panel, a technician can scan your vehicle’s computer to diagnose the codes and prevent further problems.
• Brake pad replacement. You might have the urge to hit the road without stopping, but you’ll need to physically stop at some point! If your pads are worn, a technician should replace them to provide you with adequate stopping power.
• Scheduled maintenance. Be sure to have your technician complete any maintenance items that are due, or that will become due before you return. This helps you save on future repair costs.

INFINITI OF DENVER Can Get You Ready for the Road

Selling on Your Own vs. Trading in with a Dealer

One of the considerations many face when purchasing or leasing a new or pre-owned vehicle is what to do with their current car. Many believe they can sell their current vehicle on their own and achieve a higher price than they could when trading in the vehicle with a dealer. While this can be the case, there are several factors to keep in mind. First, selling cars is hard. You must first make the vehicle available for sale, then attract “prospective buyers” to your home or business, and then trust that their money is good or that they are who they say they are.

These factors do not come into play when trading at a reputable dealership. While you may be able to make the DIY system work for you, the best way to trade in a car is working with a trusted source.

How to Ensure a Safe Trade

Here are some tips for trading in your vehicle safely and effectively:

1. There is a sales tax savings on the value of your trade-in. For instance, if your trade in is worth $10,000 and you live in an 8% sales tax area, your net realized value is $10,800, as you do not pay the 8% on the value of the trade. You would need to sell it for at least $10,800 to a private party to realize the same value.
2. There are several “authorities” on used car values. Blue Book, Black Book, NADA, Edmunds, and Carfax are just a few of the many resources on used car values. However, these guides can differ by thousands of dollars on the same vehicle. The reason? They are all just guides, and opinions based on regional data and demand. While it is valuable to educate yourself on an approximate value, don’t focus too much on what one of these guides says. At the end of the day, a car’s value is based on condition, service history, and supply and demand.
3. If you have decided you would like to trade in your vehicle, use some common sense when taking it to a dealership. First, clean it. There is only one chance to make a first impression. Sticky steering wheels, food under the seat, and a filthy exterior lead an appraiser to think the car has been neglected mechanically as well. Be prepared to show all the service history and maintenance of the vehicle. Also, if the car has had an accident or repair work, an invoice showing the amount will take the guesswork out of the severity and cost. Finally, any documents showing an extended service contract/warranty is a clear sign that the vehicle has been properly maintained and cared for and reduces the chance of costly repairs.
4. Finally, if you have a pay off on a loan, know that amount and who the lender is. Nothing delays negotiation and paperwork like an incorrect payoff or being unable to locate the current loan.

Used vehicles are in high demand! If yours is properly cared for and you follow these tips for trading in your vehicle, you will be able to maximize the value through a dealership exchange. Contact the team at INFINITI OF DENVER to see if our options are the best way for you to trade in your car.

Colorado's springtime in the Rockies means skiing in the mountains while smelling the start of the world-famous wildflowers. It's a fresh start after a snowy winter, for you, your home, and your car!

Note that spring begins a day earlier this year, starting March 19^th and ending June 20^th. It's the perfect time for outdoor play and an even more perfect time for spring cleaning. After a season of white snow blankets the state for three months, springtime brings out the “color” in Colorado. It's time to clean out your closets, freshen up your interior design with a splash of new color, organize your garage, aerate your lawns, and prep your gardens – but don’t forget about spring car maintenance!

Spring Car Detailing in Denver

Before you decide to stretch out your spring wheels, think about these tips to get your vehicle mechanically and aesthetically road-worthy:

1. Check your car's vitals. That means all the tires, the brakes, and the elements under the hood. Winter's notoriously hard on the underbelly of your vehicle, so make sure that you also get it checked for salt damage.
2. Get your vehicle detailed. It's no fun pilfering through old water bottles and sandwich wraps from last fall. Treat car maintenance like you spring clean your home. First you pick up the mess. Then INFINITI OF DENVER comes in for top-tier car detailing in Denver.

Spring Car Maintenance Checklist

When we say check your car's vitals, we mean the mechanicals, the brakes and the fluids that make your car hum. After a long winter, you need to address these maintenance items before heading out into the spring thaw.

• Check tire pressure.
• Check the battery.
• Check or change the oil.
• Check the belts and windshield wiper fluid.
• Top off any other fluids or change them.
• Get your brakes checked.

You can bring your car to INFINITI OF DENVER where our service team will make sure that it's running safe and sound. That's important whether your road trip is across town or up the mountain pass for a weekend of skiing.

INFINITI OF DENVER Car Detailing

For the most comprehensive car detailing in town, INFINITI OF DENVER addresses the whole vehicle from the inside to the outside. We will take care of your upholstery to remove out the winter stains and dirt with comprehensive vacuuming and shampooing. We clean the dash, the steering wheel, the center console, the interior windows and mirrors.

For the exterior, we do far more than your local drive-through car wash. We'll get rid of the winter salt, dirt and grime. Detailing the wheels includes scrubbing around the lug nuts and brake calipers. Then your car's paintwork gets polished and waxed. The exterior windows and mirrors are cleaned, and the entire car dried so that it looks like new. We address the undercarriage, the wheels, and the complete exterior so your vehicle looks like it’s ready for spring.

Contact us if we can help you get on your road trip sooner than later this season. We wish everyone a safe and happy spring.

You’re driving your vehicle and realize that it’s been about three months since your last oil change. You love your car and you know that quality maintenance means a safer and better performing vehicle. But out of the corner of your eye, you see the sign for drive-thru oil changes.

Don’t fall for a hasty service with subpar quality that will ultimately cost you as much if not more than oil change at a dealership.

INFINITI OF DENVER cares about our customers. That’s why we have compiled a list of the top reasons why you should get an oil change at a dealership instead.

1. Quality Oil Filters Designed for your Make and Model. Your vehicle is a performance machine, and it requires performance parts. INFINITI makes factory OEM parts with perfectly tailored components to ensure your vehicle continually performs at the upper end of the spectrum. Specifically tuned for factory performance, you can drive comfortably knowing your filters have the correct pressure release valve and filtering agent to keep your engine running to expectations.
2. High Standard Synthetic Oil. INFINITI OF DENVER uses only synthetic oil. Your engine will last longer with synthetic oil than the conventional style that is derived directly from crude oil sources.
