Enjoy A Hearty Brunch At One Of These Hot Spots Near Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Hybrid cars like the Nissan Rogue combine the raw power of the internal combustion engine with the efficiency and eco-friendliness of an electric motor to create a fun to drive vehicle. In a similar manner, brunch takes many of your favorite breakfast foods like pancakes and fresh fruit and combines them with heartier options such as sandwiches or pasta. Going out with family or friends on a weekend brunch is the perfect way to unwind and forget about the pressures of work or school. Here are a few of Cardinale Nissan’s favorite spots to enjoy a delicious brunch around Monterey.

–

Crepes of Brittany

Whether you are seeking sweet or savory food for brunch, Crepes of Brittany on Alvarado St has a wide selection of crepes and sandwiches to choose from. You can start simple with the Lemon Sugar or Homemade Caramel, or try one of their loaded crepes such as Strawberry Cream Cheese or Apple Cinnamon Caramel. The crepes are cooked as you order, and the fruit is always fresh and tasty. For a heartier dish, try one of their stuffed galettes, which are similar to a pancake and can be topped with a variety of ingredients.

–

First Awakenings

Brunch is best served with eggs and a piping hot mug of coffee, both of which are made fresh daily at First Awakenings. Their extensive menu means that even the pickiest of eaters will find something to enjoy, and their eggs can be served up scrambled, as an omelet or just about any way you like. Kids will love the French toast or the cartoon character pancakes, and you will always be greeted with a smile and great service, much like at your local Monterey car dealership.

Right after brunch is the best time to head down to Cardinale Nissan and test drive one of our new or used cars. It also won’t be long before the 2018 models such as the Nissan Maxima arrive, along with spectacular saving that only Cardinale Nissan can offer.

Let Cardinale Nissan Help Make Your Service Schedule More Efficient

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Keeping up with all the time and mileage service recommendations can be difficult, especially if you attempt to tackle each one at a time. While setting reminders on your phone or calendar can be helpful, ultimately all the trips to your local service station will end up costing you more time and money. Cardinale Nissan is here to help you manage your Nissan’s service deadlines, and by combining mileage deadlines under two categories, your car will continue running smoothly and efficiently. Come down to your local Monterey car dealership to learn more about bundling your service stops.

–

Oil and Fluids

Your Nissan Altima relies on several fluids to maintain temperature and lubrication, and the oil needs to be serviced most often. Without properly changing your oil, it will be far less effective and can cause expensive damage to the engine. Your other fluids are almost as important, so have our service technicians check their levels and refill them as necessary at each oil change. This is also the perfect opportunity to have your air filter replaced if too much dirt has accumulated.

–

Brakes And Tires

Every vehicle relies on the tires and brake pads to move the car and eventually bring it to a stop, and a malfunction in either can impact your driving experience. Just by driving to and from work or school each day, the pads and tire wear down and become less effective. If you notice any issues with your brakes or a reduced fuel efficiency, bring your Nissan in to have these two components examined.

With the help of our service experts at Cardinale Nissan, you can extend the life of your car and ensure it is ready to tackle any challenge. You can even schedule an appointment ahead of time on our website to beat the wait.

Stay Safer On The Road With The Upcoming 2018 Pathfinder At Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Distracted driving is one of the most common causes of accidents on the road, whether it is simply the mind wandering or looking a phone while driving. On average, 8 people die and over 1,000 are injured each day as a result of human error or forgetfulness, so Nissan is implementing several new features on upcoming models to combat distracted driving. There are even features to help prevent parents from leaving their kid inside a hot car. Look for these features on 2018 vehicles at Cardinale Nissan, your number one source for new and used cars in Monterey.

–

Rear Door Alert

Leaving kids or pets in the car during warm months can be extremely dangerous, and the Rear Door Alert system will help remind parents with a sound or car horn. By checking and remembering if a rear car door was opened before a trip started, this feature will alert drivers if the rear door hasn’t been opened again once the trip ends. The feature will first be available on the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, a safe and family friendly car that combines luxury and practicality.

–

Highway Safety Features

Anytime you travel at high speeds, the consequences of distracted driving will be more severe and more likely to happen as traffic can change in an instant. Many drivers often consult their phone for directions, but Nissan’s advanced navigation display can both find the fastest route and be displayed between your speedometer and tachometer. This allows you to get directions and return your eyes to the road faster than ever. Other features such as Lane Keep Assist and Blind Spot Warning keep you wary of your car’s position relative to other vehicles.

Cars like the Nissan Maxima and Nissan Pathfinder help keep families and drivers safer, so visit Cardinale Nissan today to find a vehicle that fits your budget and lifestyle.

Both high school and college students are getting ready to head back to school this August, and many will need a car. Many college students live off campus in university housing or apartments and a new vehicle from Cardinale Nissan can have a positive impact during their stay. With great gas mileage, trunk space for all their school supplies and enough seats for a night out with friends, cars like the Nissan Altima and Nissan Leaf are ideal students. Come into our Monterey car dealership today to test drive one for your scholar.

–

Nissan Leaf

Because students usually live near their school, the electric Nissan Leaf can save you time and money on gas. Simply charge up the car at night or in the morning before class and you are all set for the day.  Nissan is also making it easier for college athletes at participating schools to get a new car with the College LEAF Vehicle Purchase Program, which provides a $1,000 discount on this already affordable car.

–

Nissan Altima

Safety is always a priority for student drivers, and the Nissan Altima combines several safety features with a high fuel economy and precise handling. The 39 mpg highway rating means you will rarely have to stop for gas, and the trunk space is plenty for school supplies and grocery store food runs. A variety of trims can improve the engine or add even more luxury features, and if you are interested in a similar but smaller car, the Versa and Versa Note are right up your alley.

At Cardinale Nissan, you and your student will enjoy exceptional service and a one-of-a-kind car buying experience. Come test drive one of these models today to get your kid ready to head back to school.

Experience The All New ProPilot Assist Feature Coming Soon To Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan is always looking for ways to make driving easier and safer for all, and the new Nissan ProPilot Assist technology does just that. It can help you maintain a safe distance behind other cars, stay within the lanes, navigate more efficiently and automatically park in any suitable space around Monterey. Cars like the Nissan Altima and Nissan Leaf will become far more enjoyable to drive, so be sure to stop by Cardinale Nissan once the 2018 models arrive.

–

Simplifying Tasks

There are many everyday tasks that drivers must accomplish, and one of the most difficult jobs is parking, especially on busy road. With the new ProPilot Park feature, your Nissan Maxima will quickly be able to automatically pull into in any space that is large enough, even if it requires parallel parking. By using various sensors and cameras, the car and accelerate, turn the wheel and brake to bring you into the desired spot.

–

Assisted Driving

The ProPilot system can’t take over all the functions of a car though, and it still requires the driver to have a steady grip on the wheel when using it on roads. When activated on a highway or while cruise control is enabled, the car will automatically keep the car a safe distance away from other vehicles at a speed set by the driver, as long as they keep at least one hand on the steering wheel. This is especially useful on long road trips or in highway traffic, and will help keep drivers safely in their lane and moving at the proper speed.

Cardinale Nissan will be happy to assist you with any questions about our cars or car buying process, just like the ProPilot Assist helps drivers. For more information and specifications about each of our models, visit www.cardinalenissan.com.

Get Your Hybrid Service At Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Not only do cars in Nissan’s hybrid lineup benefit from increased fuel efficiency, they also need less service overall than most traditional cars. By making the choice to buy a hybrid from Cardinale Nissan, your car service trips will be less expensive and frequent, much like your trips to the gas station. Hybrid cars offer you the peace of mind in knowing that your investment will last longer and is more durable. Cardinale Nissan is also proud to offer the best car service around for the care your hybrid does need, so visit our Monterey car dealership today.

–

Engine And Battery Life

By alternating between two different engine types depending on speed, hybrid cars reduce the load on the combustion engine and shift it to the battery. Fortunately, the batteries in hybrid cars are extremely powerful and long lasting, and most drivers won’t need their battery replaced during the car’s lifetime. With an estimated lifespan of over 150,000 miles, Nissan batteries are built to last and will keep you powered for years. Fortunately, if you do need a replacement, the price of these batteries is dropping lower and lower each year and they are also recyclable.

–

Brake Pads

Where the hybrid engine truly shines in savings is with the brake pads. Thanks to regenerative braking, the car can take much of the kinetic energy that would be applied to the brakes and instead store it for later use. This relieves an incredible amount of stress from the pads as they receive less pressure. The regenerative process can save your thousands of dollars over the life of the car and increase your fuel efficiency if done properly.

Cardinale Nissan has the answers to any questions you may have about your hybrid or traditional Nissan. From the Nissan Rogue Hybrid to the award-winning Nissan Altima, our service department can get your car back on the road in no time, so book an appointment today at www.cardinalenissan.com.
