Conquer Nighttime Driving With These Cardinale Nissan Service Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Driving at night requires far more concentration and practice than driving during the day. When it is bright outside, it’s easier to see the whole length of cars running alongside you, and shifting lanes is much safer. A large survey by SYLVANIA Automotive posed a question about night driving to motorists and found that over 60% of drivers try to avoid driving after the sun goes down. Cardinale Nissan wants to make your driving experience safer and more enjoyable, and we offer several upgrades and Nissan car service options that can help you prepare better for nighttime driving in Monterey.

Headlight Repairs

Having a reliable source of bright light is crucial for driving safely at night. Without proper illumination, any rural or poorly lit road will be extremely treacherous to drive on as you may not be able to see upcoming turns or objects in the road. Faulty tail lights won’t be able to relay your turn signals to other drivers, and they won’t be able to know your intentions. The glass that covers your headlights can also become grimy and opaque over time, reducing the amount of light that passes through it. Our trained mechanics at your local Monterey auto dealer can get these problems fixed for you in no time.

Part Upgrades At Cardinale Nissan

With only a few upgrades, you can make your car better suited for night time travel. High-performance headlights enhance the quality of the lighting and the distance that is revealed, giving you more time to react. At #CardinaleNissan we can also help replace any worn-out brake pads or tires and help you find the best replacement for your budget.

Summer Savings Begin At Cardinale Nissan With The Nissan Leaf

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Summer is a great time to buy a new or used car at Monterey car dealerships. Not only does Cardinale Nissan have some of the best sales of the year going on, our fuel efficient cars will also help you avoid the rising summer gas prices. The electric Nissan Leaf will let you avoid the crowded and hot gas stations all together, and with all the incentives available on this car it will cost a lot less than you may think.

–

A Better Nissan Leaf

Each year Nissan works hard to make sure the newest Leaf is faster, more efficient and offers a better driving experience than ever before. The Leaf can now drive for over 100 miles before needing more power, which is a 30% increase over last year. Safety was also a major focus for Nissan this year, and they added a whole suite of Safety Shield technologies such as Blind Spot Warnings and Cross Traffic Alerts. This allows drivers to be more aware of nearby moving cars and makes changing lanes much safer in traffic.

Affordability is extremely important for electric cars, and the #NissanLeaf provides the most bang for your buck of any car on market right now. There are several incentives already, like a $7,500 federal income tax credit. Nissan is also teaming up with many gas and electric providers around the country to offer an additional $10,000 off a 2017 Leaf lease.

Nissan’s Latest Campaign Helps Drivers To “Kick Gas”

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Having to get gas while on the way to work or an important event can be a pain. You need to locate a gas station, find out how to get into the parking lot and hope there is an empty spot. Hopefully the gas isn’t too expensive, and the whole detour can delay you by 5 or 10 minutes. It would be great to not have to go through this process, so what would your answer be if a stranger paid for your gas, then told you to go buy an electric car from a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan?

–

Kick Gas With Nissan

“Kick Gas” is Nissan’s latest campaign to encourage drivers to make the switch to electric cars, and it’s doing so by paying for gas all around the country. Throughout the summer, Nissan will be handing out free gas in select cities, helping drivers understand how it feels to not have to pay for their car’s fuel.

The all electric #NissanLeaf can be charged at your house every night so you never need to worry about running out of energy. Electricity is not only cheaper than gas, but it also eliminates the need to visit a gas station entirely, saving you time on your journey.

Along with free gas, customers will also get the chance to talk with Nissan representatives and get answers to any concerns or questions they may have regarding electric cars.

Experience The Best Lineup Of Fuel Efficient Cars In America At Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Summer leads to generally higher gas prices, so people are always looking for ways to be more fuel efficient and lower their carbon footprint. One of the most significant sources of pollution is transportation, and there are many older vehicles that have a low EPA fuel rating. This leads to greater emissions and more severe ozone warnings. Thanks to Nissan’s award winning hybrid and electric car lineup though, it’s easy to save gas and the environment at the same time, so head over to Cardinale Nissan today.

–

Nissan Leaf

Electric cars are predicted to be the way of the future thanks to their incredible efficiency, compatibility with self-driving systems and very little need for Nissan car service. Nissan’s engineers have work hard to design a battery that will keep the car going for over 100 miles without recharging. And, thanks to Nissan’s new No Charge To Charge program, there are thousands of free charging stations all around the country that will have your car ready to go again in about 20 minutes.

–

Nissan Rogue

For people who don’t want to make the full switch to an electric car, a hybrid model like the #Rogue is a great middle ground. The crossover design is more aerodynamic and spacious than ever before, and you now have the option to choose between another row of seating or added cargo space. The hybrid component makes driving on city road less taxing and emission free, which gives the car an EPA estimated 34 mpg combined.

The best Monterey car dealership to see if either of these 2017 models are right for your life is Cardinale Nissan. Whether you are looking for reliable service or a great offer on any new or used car, visit us in store or online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Capture Any Off-Road Adventure With Nissan’s Latest Duo – 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

By
Posted in Uncategorized

People love to share what is happening to them nowadays more than ever. You don’t need a sophisticated camera to capture stunning photos or videos anymore, and being able to look back on and share our experiences with others is always a treat. Taking a selfie is easy, but capturing the off-road capabilities and outdoor escapades in a car is difficult with a standard camera. Nissan wants people to be able to easily capture their automotive adventures, and has combined one of their advanced crossovers with the versatility and power of a remote-control drone. To see how you can get your hands on this incredible package, head over to a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan.

–

Europe has already had access to the #drone and car combination, and it will soon become available at Monterey car dealerships. The Nissan Pathfinder was specifically chosen for this package, thanks to its design that is fit to handle the atypical terrain found on trails. The crossover design allows the car to hold many passengers, heavy amounts of cargo or a good mix of both. The 284-horsepower engine is strong enough to accelerate the car over any bumps or larger rocks, and the tires are designed and reinforced to avoid puncture. The included NissanConnect package also features satellite navigation so you will never get lost.

–

The biggest benefit of the Pathfinder’s infotainment system is its connection to the Parrot Bebop 2 drone that is included. The display can show exactly what the drone’s camera is displaying, so you can make sure your video or pictures are amazing. Using the “follow me” GPS command, the drone can stay above the car as it moves, recording the story of your outdoor travels.

–

Monterey county and California in general are full of beautiful locations to explore in the Nissan Pathfinder. Come down to Cardinale Nissan today and let us show you a better car buying experience, or you can visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Drive Greener And Stay Safe Around Cyclists With These Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Drive Greener

Biking is a great workout that you also can use in order to save gas and lower emissions. If you only live a short distance from your work, biking there and back each day is an easy way to burn calories and save money. If your work is farther away and you still want to lower your gas bill, your local Monterey auto dealer, Cardinale Nissan, has a diverse lineup of hybrid and electric cars. We also have some great tips on how to share the road better with cyclists.

–

Driver Tips

Sharing the road with #cyclists is easier than you might think, and only takes a few adjustments to your normal routine. As you drive along, scan the right side of the road or the dedicated bike lane for any cyclists who may be up ahead. For areas without these specialized lanes, be extremely cautious when going around a cyclist. Remain a safe distance away, don’t honk and patiently wait for the ideal moment to pass. If there are complicating conditions like low visibility or a blind spot up ahead, consider holding off until a better opportunity arises.

–

Cyclist Tips

Both drivers and cyclists can contribute to making encounters safer for both parties. Anytime that you cycle in traffic, make your movements predictable by moving straight ahead on the right side of the road. This allows the drivers behind you to better judge your movements and determine when they will be able to safely pass. Any reflective clothing and other accessories that you wear also help drivers to recognize you at night time when visibility is low.

To keep your car from making any unexpected moves while out on the open road, begin a regular Nissan car service schedule with our experts at Cardinale Nissan. We will keep your car operating at peak performance levels, and you can even schedule service online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan’s Concept Car Gives Insight On Latest Altima

Nissan’s Concept Car

Auto Shows exist to give the public a preview of features to come in new cars that will be released soon at all dealerships, including Monterey auto dealers. The most direct way to preview a car is with a full working prototype, but this happens so late in the design process that other methods are preferred. The best method is with a concept car, which has all the design and technology features, but isn’t totally refined. Nissan’s latest Vmotion 3.0 concept car offers a look at upcoming sedan changes, and you will soon be able to test drive them for yourself at Cardinale Nissan.

–

The Detroit Auto Show was held earlier this year, and Nissan proudly displayed their Vmotion 2.0 concept car. It had a stylish design that featured more prominent edges, along with several upgrades to existing technology. This model was the first to incorporate Nissan’s ProPilot system, which allows for easy and autonomous travel on both highways and country roads. Look for this feature to roll out soon on the 2018 Nissan Leaf.

–

The #Vmotion 3.0 model that was recently unveiled builds upon the successes of the 2.0 design. This version has been modified to be fully electric to reduce emissions, and has several other efficiency changes. A flat battery was installed and replaced the large engine, allowing for a flat floor to be implemented. Some of the rougher edges of the 2.0 model have also been rounded out for a sleeker look, which will likely appear on the 2018 Nissan Altima.

–

Vehicles are constantly evolving, and these concept cars offer a first look at the future of driving. To test drive any of these models or see all the latest features they offer visit Cardinale Nissan in store or online at www.cardinalenissan.com.
