Take Advantage Of Preventative Car Service At Cardinale Nissan

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.

Let Cardinale Nissan Help Make Your Service Schedule More Efficient

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.

Experience The Beauty That Lies Off-Road In Any Nissan Car

With all the nature and scenic sites around Monterey, being able to head off-road in your car opens up numerous opportunities. Going off-road lets you escape the busy city traffic and spend some quality time with friends and family while surrounded by beauty. Contrary to popular belief though, you don’t need a rugged ATV or heavy duty truck like the Nissan Pathfinder to tackle the rough roads, and at Cardinale Nissan we can help you transform your car into the ultimate off-road machine.

–

The tires on your Nissan make the biggest difference when traversing uneven terrain. They will be under much more stress on rocky ground, and four all-terrain tires will make the ride safer and smoother. Try to find a tire with a tread that is well suited for gripping loose surfaces and has a wide sidewall. If your car generally uses smaller tires, a wide sidewall will help maintain balance and grip the road better. Another major benefit of #all-terrain tires is their enhanced resistance to punctures from sharp rocks and surfaces you might encounter.

–

Because getting car service is much more difficult while off-road, it is important get your car inspected for any potential problems before heading out on a longer trip. Our service department at Cardinale Nissan can make sure your car is running at maximum efficiency, as well as see if any fluids need replacing. We will also check that your all-terrain tires are properly rotated and aligned to reduce any added strain.

Take Proper Care Of Your Brakes With These Simple Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

There are plenty of reasons that people brag about their Nissan, including its precise turning and invigorating engine. But just as important as accelerating to 60 mph is the power to bring the car to a stop from that speed. Your car’s brakes are vital to driving safely, so making sure they are working properly is important. As you drive to and from work or school every day, the brake pads on your car wear down and need to be replaced. Here are some easy tips from Cardinale Nissan about brake safety.

 

In any vehicle, the brake system is composed of the brake caliper, brake rotor and brake pads. These degrade with normal use and generally have to be replaced after 50,000 miles, but there are several extenuating factors which speed up this process. The biggest factor is your environment; if you drive more often in a stop-and-go city or heavy highway traffic than on long straightaways, the brakes are worn out faster.

 

Staying on top of brake maintenance is important, but also rather easy. The best opportunity to check your pads is during any other regularly scheduled Nissan service like an oil change or tire rotation. At Cardinale Nissan, our experts will be happy to examine thickness of the pad and determine its condition. Other noticeable signs of damage include rough or jittery braking, which signals that your rotors may be warped. You can also listen for a squealing or screeching sound while #braking, as manufacturers often put small strands of metal at the end of the pad.

 

When you buy a new or used car from a Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan, you can be confident that our #service team will be there to help you with any maintenance down the road. You can easily find our list of Nissan car services online at www.cardinalenissan.com.
