Fun Is Just A Chip And A Putt Away In Monterey

By
Posted in Uncategorized

One of the greatest feelings as a kid was driving a golf cart down the fairway of a nice course at high speeds. It gave a small taste of what an enjoyable driving experience should be like, and with many of Nissan’s cars you can reignite that spark of fun. The Nissan Maxima or a used Nissan Sentra are both amazing sedans that are loaded with the latest safety and entertainment technologies. You can drive either of these cars in Monterey at Cardinale Nissan, and if you want to play a couple of rounds of golf this summer, be sure to check out these courses.

Monterey Pines Golf Course

For an affordable weekend of morning or afternoon fun, Monterey Pines gives the most bang for your buck. It is the perfect course for beginning golfers looking to step away from par-three courses and onto the real deal. Monterey Pines was originally built back in 1963 as a 9-hole course, but was expanded to 18-holes in 1972 and then completely redesigned by golf architect Marc Messier in 2009. It is kept green all year round and the trees provide ample shade during the summer months, so any avid golfer should have this spot on their list.

–

Pebble Beach

You can’t mention golf in Monterey without talking about one of the most well-known courses in the world: Pebble Beach. It has been the location of several PGA Tour and Champions Tour events, and is regarded by many pros as the most beautiful course to play. While the green fees are expensive, it is well worth it to play this famous course at least once in a lifetime.

Once you finish at these course, take a short detour over to Cardinale Nissan  in Seaside to learn about the revolutionary 2017 lineup and see how much you can save on a new or pre-owned vehicle. From sedans to crossovers to large trucks, you can find the car of your dreams online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Let Cardinale Nissan Keep Your Car’s Air Conditioning Running Smoothly

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Staying cool in the summer can always be a challenge if you don’t want to run the electricity bill up. Living in Monterey is nice because a beach is always close by, but what when you are driving to the beach? Your car has an air conditioning system that works well to keep you cool, but there are several ways it can break down. If your A/C is having problems, look no further than a Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan for fast and easy repairs.

–

Common Air Conditioning Problems

When breaking down, air conditioning systems generally show two signs: warmer airflow or a weaker airflow. A warmer airflow often indicates the car just needs more coolant, but it can also be caused by a leak. Leaks are more expensive to replace as the source needs to be found and filled in. Weak airflow on the other hand is a simple problem to fix, and is most commonly caused by a bad connection or a failing ventilation fan. A quick inspection at #CardinaleNissan can pinpoint your problem in no time.

–

Air Filter

The summer also brings higher ozone and pollution levels, so it is important that your air filter is working properly. The air filter purges any pollutants from the outside air before it is cycled into the system, as they can be detrimental to your health and to people with asthma. It also keeps many unwanted smells away, leaving your air pure and clean.

Our Nissan service experts are trained to diagnose and cure any problems your Nissan may be experiencing, as well as ensure your car is operating at maximum efficiency. To schedule an appointment online or to view our latest Nissan models at Cardinale Nissan, like the Nissan Maxima, head over to www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Sedans

Sedans often look very similar to one another, but each model in Nissan’s lineup is specialized for different drivers. The 2017 Nissan Altima, Maxima and Sentra each have their own driving profiles, feel on the road and area of focus, which allows you to find the sedan which best fits your needs. Fortunately, all feel great to drive and get exceptional gas mileage, so you can’t go wrong with any of the three. Let Cardinale Nissan show you what makes each of these stellar sedans unique.

Sedans are one of the most popular family vehicles, and the Sentra is fitted with plenty of features to keep everyone safe. The latest Sentra has been fitted with an advanced set of cameras and sensors which let the car react to its surroundings automatically. The Sentra SV is equipped with the Driver’s Assist Package, which features Rear Cross Traffic Notifications and Blind Spot Warnings. These provide alerts when cars move into dangerous areas around the car, so you always know if it is safe to change lanes or make a turn.

 

Nissan Altima:

Sporty #sedans are quickly becoming a popular choice for many drivers who want the performance and fuel economy. The Altima is both powerful and efficient, sporting 39 mpg highway with its upgradable 4-cylinder engine. The Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission makes accelerating smooth, and the car’s “wind-cheating aerodynamics” makes the it glide through rough conditions.

 

Nissan Maxima:

Driving around town is more enjoyable than ever in a luxury sedan like the Nissan Maxima. The V6 engine provides exceptional performance and the seats will make long drives easy. Nissan has even released a special Midnight Edition that adds even more stylish accessories.

Try Out The Nissan Pathfinder, A Kelley Blue Book Best Family Car

By
Posted in Uncategorized

 One of the biggest tests of any vehicle’s performance is how it stands up to competitors in head to head tests. Kelley Blue Book compares cars each year to find the ones that stand out in different categories, and the category that matters to us the most at Cardinale Nissan is the Best Family Car. The Nissan Pathfinder has been on this award winning list for several years running, so come experience what makes this SUV a great family vehicle.

Of all the important traits a car can have, Kelley Blue Book notes that, “one of the most critical factors when considering a family-focused vehicle is its ability to please the people it carries.” The Pathfinder has high marks in that area, thanks to the big cabin and seating space that are easy to maneuver in and out of. A new development for this model year is the EZ Flex and Glide System, which makes attaching and securing a child seat simple and it allows improved access to the third row of seats. The base 16 cubic feet or storage can be expanded into a whopping 80 cubic feet by arranging the seats so you can hold all your picnic supplies or sporting equipment.

 

Other notable features that Kelley Blue Book particular enjoyed were the advanced safety features and “dynamic driving experience” that can only be created by the #Pathfinder. Under the hood you can find a 3.5-liter V6 that uses an Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission that makes accelerating smooth and quick. To keep your family safe, the Pathfinder features Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alerts to track any dangerous movement around your vehicle. The car also earned acclaim from the NHTSA and IIHS for the Forward Emergency Brake that monitors the road and prevents head on collisions.

Cardinale Nissan is the best local dealership to find a great deal on the Nissan Pathfinder or other 2017 models like the Nissan Maxima or a used Nissan Sentra. Along with great deals, we offer the highest rated customer service, so find us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Embrace A Bolder Look With A Midnight Edition model from Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

The color black looks good on almost every car model, so it’s no surprise that the sleek and powerful Nissan Maxima “Midnight Edition” found so much success last year. This combined package includes a new paint job, additional performance features and a black-trim on parts of the interior. This year, even more Midnight Editions have been announced for the rest of your favorite Nissan models: the Nissan Altima, Sentra, Rogue, Murano and Pathfinder.

At auto shows like the Chicago one that was held a few weeks ago, car makers get to show off their latest updates and offerings for Spring and Summer. Nissan fitting didn’t reveal the Midnight Editions when the show started Thursday morning, but instead drew a crowd late Wednesday night. The Midnight Maxima currently makes up 85 percent of all Maxima SR sales as consumers love the black-on-black look. Eric Ledieu, Nissan’s consumer marketing director, asked dealers like Cardinale Nissan if they wanted more Midnight Editions and they, “…responded by asking us to please make it happen very quickly.”

The #MidnightEdition comes with several exclusive features, and all at half the cost of the upgrades by themselves. A quick look at the car will reveal all the intricate black styling that is part of the wheels, mirrors, floor mats and the spoiler. Crossovers like the Rogue and Pathfinder also will get black roof racks and splash guards. Nissan also happens to offer the package in body colors of white, red or gunmetal grey, in case you just want a little extra black trim. Look for the Midnight Edition to appear on even more vehicles if this second round is a success, and Ledieu commented, “You see this level of personalization becoming popular, creating a sporty look with dark wheels, dark accents.”

 

Cardinale Nissan currently has all Midnight Editions models but the Rogue in stock, which doesn’t actually release for a few more weeks. If you are interested in other popular models like the Nissan Maxima, our sales associates would be happy to help you, or you can visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

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.

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.

Some Easy Tips To Keep Your Car Safe From Theft

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Cardinale Nissan 4 shutterstock_231630193A car is one of the most significant purchases you can make, and protecting that investment is important. A dark parking area or an unobserved side street is a potential threat to the security of your car, and in most cases stolen vehicles aren’t recovered. Here are a couple of precautions from Cardinale Nissan, so you can take to keep your car safe:

 

  1. It may sound simple, but making sure your car is locked and the windows are rolled up is the best way to prevent theft. It’s very easy and takes almost no time to take a quick look.

 

  1. Many thieves are smart and know where spare keys are hidden, so be wary of keeping an extra lying around your car.

 

  1. Unattended or running cars are easy targets for most thieves. Try to avoid leaving your vehicle running by itself, even if just for a few minutes.

 

  1. Parking lot selection is very important. Choose a well-lit or officially monitored lot or garage to park in. Also try to avoid leaving any valuables in plain sight. It only makes your car a more lucrative target.

 

  1. There are many cheap and effective GPS systems you can install on your car. This way, police will be able to track it, and you can often link it to your personal smartphone. Narrowing down areas to look is critical to recovering your vehicle.

 

  1. In the event a thief bypasses your ignition system by hot-wiring the car, a vehicle immobilizer is the best defense. These devices can bring the car to a halt by cutting off the car’s access to fuel.
