Take Advantage Of Preventative Car Service At Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

There is nothing worse than having to deal with car breakdown while you are on your way to work or to pick up the kids. Towing or roadside assistance trucks can often be expensive, and can easily eat through hours of your busy day. Luckily, with preventative maintenance from Cardinale Nissan, you can deal with these issues before they become a major problem. Head over to our Monterey car dealership and see how you can avoid these common car troubles with just a quick inspection.

–

Tire Pressure

A blowout or puncture in your tire is tedious to deal with, from having to put on a spare to buying a new and possible expensive tire at a shop. An improperly inflated tire makes the wheel more vulnerable to these issues, and by checking that your tires are at the right pressure, you can avoid disaster and ensure your fuel efficiency remains high.

–

Leaks

Between your oil, radiator fluid, transmission fluid and coolant, your car relies on having appropriate levels of these fluids. Having your car checked for loose hoses or other potential sources of a leak will keep your car running smoothly.

–

Dead Battery

While most batteries last for four to five years on average, having your battery die while trying to start it can leave you stranded for some time. As the battery ages, it can often lose its ability to retain an effective charge, so have our trained service technicians test your battery during your next visit.

Just like you go to the doctor and dentist for regular checkups, your car also needs regular service and inspections in order to remain healthy. Whether your own a used Nissan Sentra or a 2017 Nissan Leaf, our Cardinale Nissan team will get your car running as good as new.

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.

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.

Take Care Of Your Tires With Regular Service From Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Just as important as getting your oil changed in extending the life of your vehicle is taking care of your tires. The roads are hot during the summer and with vacations and weekend activities, your car is likely driven much more than during other seasons. Due to the added wear and tear, a tire rotation, brake pad inspection or vehicle alignment could be needed sooner than expected. At our Monterey car dealership, our dedicated Cardinale Nissan service team can help make sure your tires are ready to tackle a summer adventure.

–

Why Is Tire Rotation Important?

By rotating each tire from one wheel to another, you can account for any extra wear and tear that a specific wheel experiences. For most cars, the outer edges of the front tires lean over more when turning and have more surface area exposed. Without a regular tire rotations, the increased strain will make it so that the front tires need replacing earlier than the back ones. Most tire stores offer discounts when you buy a full set of four, and ultimately rotating your tires will save you money and time.

–

Wheel Alignment

An improper wheel alignment occurs when the wheels become angled from their normal perpendicular position. The irregular movements caused by driving along bumps, holes or rough roads, the irregular movements can throw the tires out of alignment. Along with the added wear, your car can suffer from reduced handling and a lower gas mileage.

At Cardinale Nissan we will happily answer any service questions you may have about your new or used Nissan. Go online today to www.cardinalenissan.com to schedule an appointment in advance for your Nissan Altima.
