As we head into 2017 and Mitsubishi begins their centennial celebration, the brand is looking to highlight much of what they have accomplished over the past 100 years. Of course, celebrating Mitsubishi's success is not just about the company but also about the loyal customers who have helped the brand to stay in business all these years. As a result, they are looking to include those customers in the celebration with a series of “Man on the Street” interviews that they will be conducting with the attendees at various automotive shows throughout the year. These interviews will allow the fans to share what the Mitsubishi brand has meant to them. In this first video in the series, Mitsubishi caught up with a few of attendees at the 2016 LA Auto Show where they asked them to guess how long Mitsubishi has been making cars and then asked them to explain what “Find Your Own Lane” means to them. Hear their responses below!

Winter driving is no joke, especially in Plattsburgh, NY; Burlington, VT; Potsdam, Lake Placid, and Malone, NY! One of your best defenses against icy winter roads is proper tires and tire maintenance. Check out the frequently asked questions below and if you want to know more, stop by DELLA Mitsubishi! When should I have my new tires installed? As soon as the temperature drops and stays consistently freezing bring your vehicle into our service center to have your new tires put on. How important is tire pressure? Extremely. The wrong tire pressure can cost you gas mileage and safety! Tires lose pressure as the temperature drops, so be sure to check them at least once a month. How should I store my tires when I’m not using them? Indoors, in a clean, cool and dark location. Direct sunlight and sources of heat can damage the tires making them useless the next time you need them. What should I do before a trip? Plan your route and check the road conditions before leaving the house. Be sure to have emergency phone numbers ready to go and your cell phone charged. And lastly, check all your fluid.
