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.
