Explore The Beauty Of Nature Around Monterey

By
Posted in Uncategorized

While National Parks month may not be till July, that doesn’t mean our hardworking staff at Cardinale Nissan can’t enjoy the beautiful areas around Monterey county. We love spending time in the great outdoors, whether it be hiking in the hills or spelunking deep into an enchanting cave. Two of our favorite locations to visit are Pinnacles National Park and Fort Ord Dunes State Park. Both of these are a great way to spend a day, either by yourself or with friends and family. Here are a couple highlights of these destinations:

 

Pinnacles National Park

This gorgeous landscape was formed many years ago after volcanoes erupted and flowed across North America, creating places full of caves and rock spires.  This area is one of the most unique places to visit in the state, with plenty of great trails and locations to hike through oak woodlands and canyon bottoms. Along the way you are sure to find wildlife amongst the trees and rocks, including peregrine falcons, golden eagles and the majestic California condor. Whether you are simply looking for a nice spot for a family picnic or a serious and strenuous hike, Pinnacles has it all.

 

Fort Ord Dunes State Park

For more coastal fun be sure to check out this exciting park by the sea. There are trails that bring you past over 20 miles of beaches, where the waves crest and you can smell the seafoam. #FortOrdDunesStatePark features five main types of sand dunes based on their age, from older stabilized dunes to unstabilized and active dunes. Along the rocky coastline you are sure to find one of the cutest sea mammals lying in the sun: the sea otter. Nearby you can also visit the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary for a closer look at a myriad of marine species.

 

You can also find a myriad of great deals on brand new or pre-owned Nissans at the one and only Monterey car dealership, Cardinale Nissan. From our exceptional Nissan car service to our high customer satisfaction rating, www.cardinalenissan.com is the place to go for all your Nissan needs.

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.

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.
