In addition to all the
green initiatives that our dealerships and management company already
employ, we are now partnering with Ray's Trash Service in
developing a company-wide recycling program. We will begin to place various
recycling bins throughout the dealerships to collect paper, cans and plastics.
It is our goal to begin a process where we can accumulate all mixed recyclables
and reduce the number of trash pickups per week.

2011 Nissan Juke was awarded "Top Safety Pick" rating by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
To determine crashworthiness (or how well a vehicle protects its occupants in a crash), the Institute rates vehicles as good, acceptable, marginal, or poor, based on performance in high-speed front and side crash tests and a rollover test. In addition to that, the IIHS evaluates seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts.
