Enjoy Some Of The Best Places Around Monterey In A Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Driving takes up a lot of our time, but who says you can’t have fun while doing it? All around the Monterey area, there is no shortage of entertainment and activities to enjoy from the comfort of your own Nissan Altima. At Cardinale Nissan, we love finding new places to explore, so here are a couple of our favorite places that you can experience from your car and on foot.

Way back when indoor movie theaters hadn’t really taken off yet, drive-in movie theaters were the place to be on a weekend night. They were easy to access and you could enjoy the view from the comfort of your own vehicle. Just a short drive towards San Jose is the #WestWindCapitol6Drive-in, which is keeping this fun tradition alive even in the age of IMAX and huge indoor theaters. You and your family can relax the plush and warm seats of your Nissan Maxima, or take your special someone in the stylish and sporty 370Z. They also have plenty of tents with local vendors providing specialty goods and foods, along with your favorite movie theater snacks.

 

For a look at all the nature and history that lives in this spectacular county, consider of taking a scenic drive through Carmel-by-the-Sea. This lovely town has a staggering number of vistas and shops packed into only one square mile. This route passes by the Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, where you can experience the wildlife and nature of the coast, along with many famous buildings. The Tor house and Hawk Tower was constructed by poet Robinson Jeffers and the Walker Residence was founded by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1948. You may even get to see Clint Eastwood, who owns the Mission Ranch.

 

Making any of these drives in a comfortable and stylish Nissan makes the experience even better, so head on over to Cardinale Nissan. We offer the best deals on all our new and pre owned Nissan models, and you can easily look at our inventory online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Enjoy A Breath Of Fresh Air With A New Air Filter

By
Posted in Uncategorized

All aspects of your life contribute somehow to your overall health and wellbeing. You have to take into consideration everything from food you eat and all of your workouts to the quality of the air you breathe. Each small detail impacts your life. In busy cities and industrial regions, the air you breathe will greatly affect how you feel, and polluted air can even cause headaches or nausea. This air can get to you while driving in your car if your air filter is dirty or malfunctioning, so here are a few tips from #CardinaleNissan making sure your air is pure.

 

Air is always circulating throughout the car in order to prevent the cabin from becoming stale, and using air conditioning will add to this. The quality of the air you breathe while driving is affected by the quality of the air outside. This means living in a city or polluted region will cause the filter to have to work harder and need to be replaced much sooner. This means it is critical to regularly care for your air filter, much like your oil and tires.

 

The first place you should always go for info about your car parts is the Owner’s Manual, which will give a mileage or time estimation of when to change the filter. Typical time frames are around one to two years, but traveling in smog-filled areas will greatly shorten this window. If you notice a foul odor that arises when you use your air conditioning, a loud fan noise, or a significant drop in gas mileage, these are all signs of a bad filter. In this case, be sure to schedule car service at Cardinale Nissan so we can get you safely back on the road.

 

With years of service under our belts, our service technicians are trained to diagnose and fix any problems your Nissan may have. At our Monterey car dealership or online at www.cardinalenissan.com, you can find new and preowned Nissan models, like a Nissan Maxima, so let us help you find the car of your dreams.

The Tokyo Auto Show Brings Previews Of New Models At Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

One of the biggest moments for car companies comes in October at the Tokyo Auto Show. It’s currently a long way off, but Nissan is already offering looks at its brand new cars that will be in attendance. Two radically different designs have been shown off, including an updated version of the popular Juke, as well as the next generation of the Z concept car.

The Nissan Z Redesign:

Originally a powerful performance car when it was debuted almost eight years ago, the Z car will be back with even more power. It will likely be equipped with a V6 engine capable of producing over 400 horsepower and plenty of torque. Also be on the lookout for an optional hybrid engine like the one already found on the Nissan Rogue, which trades a small amount of horsepower for a hefty boost in fuel efficiency.

 

Nissan Juke and e-Power:

If you are looking for a car that certainly breaks the mold, the Nissan Juke is the perfect balance between style and performance. The powerful engine provides just the right amount of acceleration and power, while not compromising the control. You can also heavily customize your model by using the Juke Color Studio. This one-of-a-kind tool puts the paint brush in your hand so you make each part exactly the right color. Nissan has noted that the latest #Juke will run on e-Power, a hybrid setup that charges an electric drivetrain with a small put powerful three-cylinder combustion engine. E-Power results in very few emissions and is highly fuel efficient thanks to the electric motor. It also sports a greater range and more horsepower than just a pure electric car.

 

For a look at all the newest and most powerful vehicles that Nissan offers, there is no better Monterey car dealership than Cardinale Nissan. We have the biggest selection of new and used cars Monterey can offer, so find us on the web at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Combat Engine Buildup With These Easy Precautions

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Every car slowly gets dirty just from everyday driving to work or traveling on the highway. While a quick car wash is great for removing any nasty buildup that could cause rust, it won’t reach important components the inside of the engine. The filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors work to remove some of the dirt and grime that accumulates, but they still need some help with flushing everything away. Our experts at Cardinale Nissan have some tips to help keep your engine healthy.

 

Regardless of how clean you keep your car, the dust and dirt that is found on all roads will make its way into your engine system. These contaminants mix with fluids like oil and form a sludge inside the engine. It will also cause costly damage to the pistons or other critical components, as well as make accelerating more sluggish. Eventually, this can lead to stuttering or even total shutdown.

 

This is why it is important to know the warning signs and tackle problems before they become worse. If you notice strange behavior with your engine, including stuttering when starting, sluggish performance or poor acceleration, bring your car to the Cardinale Nissan service department. Our experts are trained to quickly diagnose and solve these problems so you can get back on the road.

 

If you want to get out ahead of the buildup yourself, there is one easy way. Many gas stations or auto stores sell fuel injector additives that when used regularly will cleanse the pipes of any tough dirt and grime. This will extend your engine’s lifetime and increase performance.

 

If your engine or any other part of your Nissan is experiencing complications, head to your local Monterey car dealership, Cardinale Nissan. Our store is the best place to find unparalleled Nissan #service along with deals on your favorite cars like the Nissan Altima, so visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Develops New Quick Charging Ports For Electric Cars

By
Posted in Uncategorized

nissan-logo While they may have been seen as some experimental type of car in the past, electric cars are gradually becoming more mainstream. The last couple of years have brought major growths in this energy sector, thanks to partnerships and research regarding efficiency and environmentally friendliness. Electric cars now aren’t much more expensive than an internal combustion engine powered car, and their number of other features is also growing. #Nissan has also been working on new ways to make charging faster, more efficient and more accessible.

Heading to the pump and getting a full tank of gas is more expensive than the electricity to power a car, but the time investment has always been much greater. You can spend only five minutes at a gas station, but many electric cars in the past had charge times upwards of an hour. At home or during work this isn’t a big deal as you can just leave it overnight or during the day, but for road trips or vacations it can slow you down. Fortunately, Nissan has designed and installed dual port DC fast chargers that are capable of bringing an electric car to 80% power in under half an hour.

 

Nissan’s No Charge to Charge program is responsible for installing these high tech stations in order to bring clean energy to Nissan Leaf owners. Each person who buys or leases a new or pre-owned Leaf will receive two years of charging at the stations, at no cost to them. Nissan and BMW have partnered together in order to bring even more Combined Charging Systems to additional areas this coming year, and Nissan estimates that soon 90% of Leaf owners will be able to enjoy this feature.

At your local Monterey car dealership, Cardinale Nissan, we can help you get your own set of keys to a new or used Nissan Leaf and make use of the No Charge to Charge program. You can also find deals on car like the new Nissan Altima, so check us out online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Find A Truck That Fits Your Lifestyle At Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Trucks are one of the most dependable and hardest working types of cars you can buy, but only really catered to specific groups of people. The modern age of pickups has arrived though, and they have become far more accessible for all. Features from classes like the sedan and crossover have made their way to trucks, along with their maneuverability. The Nissan Titan and Nissan Frontier both are excellent choices for any driver, so come take a closer look.

Nissan Titan

Nissan Titan:

For the maximum amount of towing and horsepower, the Nissan Titan is the best fit. Its large V-8 engine outputs 390 horsepower and has a maximum load of 9,390 lbs. Bringing along the jet ski, camping equipment or even another car is easy to do thanks to Nissan’s optimized trailer hitch technology. You will also find advanced suspension systems and safety features like Vehicle Dynamic Control. Storing equipment in the bed is even easier with Nissan’s rail system that provides additional securing points for your ropes.

 

Nissan Frontier:

If you need something a bit smaller and more maneuverable, the Frontier is easy to pilot while still providing a sizable amount of towing power. It feels good driving this truck around town or to work, thanks to its 2.5-liter engine. The #Frontier excels in versatility; it can carry around the whole family to any destination, from a sports game to an off road trip. There is plenty of room in the bed even though it is a mid-size truck, and the car has an EPA estimated 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway.

Increase The Lifetime Of Your Nissan With These Simple Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan Rogue 2017 1

Every car you purchase is a significant investment, and as such they should be able to last for many years. Wear and tear is a part of driving though. Parts will eventually deteriorate, the engine can fail, and slowly your car will need more and more repairs to keep going. By treating your vehicle with the right care, maintenance and attention to detail, you can increase its lifespan. Use these easy-to-follow tips to keep your new Nissan in pristine condition:

Drive Calmly: Accelerating your car with the pedal to the metal or slamming the brakes at every light will lead to increased damage on important parts of your car. It puts added strain on the brakes and engine, which will need frequent repairs.

Monitor Fluid Levels and Tire Pressures: Liquids like oil, radiator fluid and brake fluid are critical to keeping your car running effectively and safely. Every few weeks you should check the oil levels with the dipstick while the car is cool and off, check tire pressures and look in the plastic fluid containers to see if they are full enough.

 

Remember the Service Schedule: Many car owners forget to bring their cars in for service after so many miles, but it is the easiest way to keep your car running smoothly. Check your owner’s manual for the recommendations that come straight from Nissan engineers, as car longevity is dependent on keeping up with maintenance.

 

Wait 30 Seconds Before Driving: Any engine that has been off for more than four hours will have almost no oil left in its valves. It will only take thirty seconds for the oil pump to properly lubricate the engine again, so give it the short time it needs.

 

Our trained #service technicians at Cardinale Nissan can help you solve any problems your car may be experiencing. Our Monterey car dealership has all the latest Nissan models, like the Nissan Maxima, as well as unrivaled customer service, so look us up online at www.cardinalenissan.com.
