SLO Wine Festival

Anytime that people can come together and enjoy an afternoon of music, food and drinks is a great time. As summer starts to arrive in San Luis Obispo, there are plenty of festivals getting ready to kick off their event filled weekends. At Coast Nissan, we love to meet new friends at these summer festivals, so here are some to be on the lookout for.

Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival

Every good festival needs a strong theme to work with, so having a wine festival in the heart of wine country is a no brainer. From larger wineries to smaller local establishments, there is a seemingly endless supply of new brands to try and specialty batches to taste. Local artists and craft brewers will also have their creations out for purchase, and live music will play the whole weekend. There is even a zoo nearby for kids to enjoy. On Friday, you can attend the #Mayor’sWinemakerDinner, which will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of North County. There is also a golf tournament on Saturday and many wine tastings on Sunday. The cost is $60 if you purchase tickets now or $75 at the gate on June 24.

Central Coast Cider Festival

Restaurants will be jam packed with people on Mother’s Day weekends, so why not enjoy a fun afternoon with a fully catered meal at the Central Coast Cider Festival? Located at a gorgeous lakeside pavilion, this classy event features over 13 different cider producers offering up their latest and best-tasting creations. Music will be provided live by Erin and the Earthquakes, and Chef Jeffery Scott of Vineyard Events will be serving up a one-of-a-kind English Pig Roast dinner that you won’t want to miss.

A big part of these festivals is coming together as a community, and at Coast Nissan we are proud to support these traditions. If you have any Nissan service needs or are in the market for new or used cars in San Luis Obispo, be sure to visit us in store or online at www.coastnissan.com.

Deal With A Damaged Windshield With These Simple Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Cracked Windshield

One of the most dreaded sounds you can hear while driving on the highway is the sharp ping of a rock or a piece of debris hitting your windshield. While most windshields can stand up to the occasional attack, if the rock strikes it at a bad angle or is simply large enough it can cause a dent or crack in the glass. Small chips or breaks may not seem like an urgent problem, but these fractures can lead to more serious problems if not handled in a timely manner. If you notice any damage to your windshield be sure to head to a San Luis Obispo car dealer like Coast Nissan for an examination.

–

A small crack in your #windshield can quickly become a large problem if it goes untreated, and is a big safety hazard to you and your passengers. If a fracture is ignored, it can grow into a bigger and more expensive crack on its own due to expansion and contraction in changing temperatures. It also makes the windshield much more vulnerable to future rocks striking the car, and the entire structure could shatter with a severe enough impact. Dirt and debris from the road can also get into the pit, which makes repairs more difficult.

–

Most cracks or chips can be repaired relatively cheaply if they are less than the size of a dollar bill, and it is often covered by your auto insurance. You can also take precautions to avoid getting a crack while driving. If you are traveling on a rocky or dirt road, try to give the car in front of you more space, especially at higher speeds. Also, try to avoid driving behind large trucks that are hauling gravel or other rocks, as they can fly out of the carrying trailer and hit your windshield.

–

At Coast Nissan, we can repair any windshield or glass damage your car has suffered, including headlight or mirror replacements. You can also save time by making a Nissan service appointment online at www.coastnissan.com.

Learn How To Monitor Important Fluid Levels In Your Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Oil Change in SLO

The human body runs on water. It is essential to life and serves a vital purpose of hydrating us and flushing out any dangerous toxins. A car like a Nissan Altima also needs fluids to run, though cars need many more than humans to work properly. Everyone knows to get their oil changed after so many miles, but your other liquids also need monitoring so your car can operate a peak performance levels. At Coast Nissan, the number one San Luis Obispo car dealer, we can show which ones are most important to check, and help you replace them.

 

Oil:

Your engine needs proper lubrication so its internal parts can freely move. Without a regular oil replacement, your oil becomes dirty and less efficient, and could cause severe damage. To check your oil levels, simply pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, then insert and remove it. There should be clear markings of safe oil levels.

 

Radiator Fluid:

A big problem with engines in the summer months is overheating, and radiator fluid helps prevent that by cooling your car down. Checking the fluid levels is easy, but before you start, make sure the car has been off for a while and the engine is cold. Use a rag to unscrew the cap and look inside for the level of the fluid.

 

Power Steering Fluid:

Today, cars have a power steering system that makes turning and using your steering wheel much less demanding, while also increasing the handling of the car. The reservoir for this fluid is usually found under the hood on the passenger side of the car, and is often labeled “steering.” Most cars have an opaque container so you can easily see the level of fluid, but if not, simply clean the area around the cap before unscrewing it.

Car maintenance can be complicated, so if you have any concerns about your car be sure to talk to our Nissan service experts at #CoastNissan. They will be glad to repair your vehicle and get you back on the road, so schedule an appointment today at www.coastnissan.com.

See The Sites That Played A Major Role In SLO’s History – Mission San Luis Obispo

Mission San Luis Obispo

The Nissan name was first introduced back in the 1930s, but the company itself has been producing cars since 1914. Nissan started over in Japan, but it quickly expanded to other countries as the demand for cars grew. Thanks to a tradition of hard work and dedication, Nissan has become one of the largest manufacturers in the world, and at Coast Nissan, we are proud to offer new and used cars to San Luis Obispo. The history of San Luis Obispo is also rich with culture, and there are several spots around town to experience it for yourself.

 

Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa

The best place to begin any history journey is at the beginning, and San Luis Obispo was founded in 1772 by the Spanish. They loved the rich-soil and the beautiful coast, with a perfect climate for growing food. A settlement was built and at its heart the #MissionSanLuisObispodeTolosa was constructed, serving as both a church and meeting place. Today, this iconic mission is a historic landmark that hosts several festivals and fairs throughout the year. Visitors can explore the historic architecture and learn more about the building that acted as the root of SLO’s history.

 

History Center of San Luis Obispo

Nissan Is Still The King Of The Electric Car Market

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan Electric

When it comes to electric car sales, the Nissan Leaf has been the reigning champ for many years. It was one of the first commercial electric vehicles introduced, and through its affordable price and extended range it has consistently outsold the competition. Moving into 2017, several companies released brand new electric cars that looked to be contenders for the title, but none have been able to beat the reliability and affordability that the Leaf offers. Come see why a Nissan Leaf from Coast Nissan remains the top electric car on the market.

 

Since 2008, people like Jose Pontes have been measuring the global market impact of electric cars. He is the primary data source for several technological journals and articles, and his recent EV Sales blog looked at trends from January and February of this year. During this period the Nissan Leaf was by far the world’s best selling #electric vehicle, beating out big names like Tesla and Chevy. In fact, the Nissan Leaf outsold its competitors by about 8,000 units in these two months. This margin is expected to grow even more for the March and April data, as the remodeled 2017 Nissan Leaf was released during this period. The 2017 Leaf has substantially more range and a new cabin makeover.

 

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why the Leaf has performed so well, but there are several factors that have contributed. Its biggest appeal is affordability, which is a big factor for people to consider when making the switch to an electric car. Nissan also provides several incentives with a Leaf purchase, including two years of free charging at the thousands of stations that have recently been installed in major areas.

 

To learn more about all the benefits of driving a 2017 Nissan Leaf, come have a chat with our sales team at your San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan. From exceptional Nissan service to expert advice on a new car purchase, www.coastnissan.com is the place to go for all your car needs.

Learn How To Spot Problems With Your Car’s Exhaust System

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Car Exhaust Problems

In any car with an internal combustion engine, including diesel engines, exhaust is produced from the reactions that occur while driving. As gasoline or diesel fuel enter your car’s engine, power is created by combusting them at high temperatures. This moves your car forward, but it also creates exhaust, which is composed mostly of nitrogen gas, water vapor and carbon dioxide. Your car’s exhaust system ensures that this gas is safely pumped out of your vehicle’s engine, and problems can occur if this system malfunctions. At Coast Nissan, we can help you recognize these problems and get them fixed as soon as possible.

 

The muffler and #exhaust system both play an integral role in keeping your engine clean. One of the most common car problem occurs when the system stops diverting exhaust fumes out of the engine. Instead, they slowly build up and cause the engine to deteriorate faster, so make sure your regular inspections check for these problems.

 

Another major symptom of a damaged muffler is a strong vibration or a sudden loss of power in your car. This could be due to a hole or leak in the exhaust system, and the magnitude of the vibration depends on the size of the damaged area. A hole or leak will cause your motor to operate at suboptimal levels, and could lead to lowered fuel economy and permanent damage.

 

One of the most important problems to catch before it becomes too serious is a failing catalytic converter. If you notice a sound while the engine is idling that is similar to a box of coins being shaken, the catalytic converter is most likely damaged. If this problem is not fixed quickly, it could end up costing a significant amount of money.

 

If you ever have any questions about your vehicle or just need your car inspected by trained professionals, head over to a coastal Nissan dealership. We offer fast and affordable Nissan service that works with your schedule, so come to www.coastnissan.com today.

Nissan Saves Lives With The Nissan Leaf

By
Posted in Uncategorized

One of the most commonly talked about benefits of electric cars is their reduced emissions due to not relying on gasoline. This translates into lowered greenhouse gases, fewer pollutants and it even saves you some money at the pump. Electric cars are also quieter and generally safer due to the better integration of the computer with the engine. What you may not know is that electric cars are also making the world a much safer place, and through Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility Initiative, cars like the Leaf are much more practical for everyday drivers. Come see how a Nissan Leaf from Coast Nissan can have a positive impact on the world.

 

Whenever a disaster strikes, people in the affected area often lose access to important utilities and resources. In this case, they are often stranded and are cut off from essential services due to disasters like floods. While you may think a Nissan Leaf would be just as useless as other cars in this scenario, the #Leaf can actually act as a large battery or generator, giving power back just like how it was charged. Thanks to Nissan’s latest technological innovations, the Leaf can be used to power phones or small heating devices, as well as many cooking appliances.

 

Because of the Leaf’s adaptability, people stranded by disasters will be able to cook a decent meal while they wait for the figurative or literal storm to pass. This also consumes very little of the Leaf’s battery thanks to Nissan’s remarkable design, so once the roads are clear you and your family can travel safely to a more secure area. Nissan summarized that the Leaf, “can be recharged to work as mobile power sources, avoiding gridlock at gas stations and extending an essential lifeline to isolated areas.”

 

The 2017 Nissan Leaf will be there for you in both the good and the bad times, much like your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan. From friendly Nissan service to the best deals on the latest Nissan models, www.coastnissan.com has everything you need to take a Leaf home today.

Stay On Top Of Brake Maintenance With These Simple Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

When people talk about how excited they are about driving their Nissan, the most common reasons are the smooth and precise turning, as well as the dynamic and powerful acceleration. But just as important as starting and accelerating is the ability to properly bring the car to a stop. Your car’s brakes are extremely important to take care of and monitoring their condition is critical to ensuring your safety. With regular use, the brake pads on your car slowly wear down and need to be replaced, so here are a few tips from our Coast Nissan service team on when you should bring them in for maintenance.

 

The #brakes on your car consist of three major components of the overall car disc brake system: the brake caliper, brake rotor and brake pads. The rate at which they degrade is based on several factors, which all can lower the recommended 50,000 miles before replacement. The biggest factor is your environment; if you drive more often in stop-and-go city or highway traffic than on longer country stretches, the brakes are used more and degrade faster.

 

The best way to make sure you are on top of brake pad replacements is to get them checked when you bring your car in to Coast Nissan for any number of our Nissan services. Our experts will be happy to check the thickness of the pad during a quick oil change or tire rotation. While you are driving if you notice that braking is rougher or more jittery than normal, your rotors may be warped and need replacing. Also, brake pad manufacturers often put small metal hairs at the end to alert drivers that they are worn out, as it will make a squealing or scraping sound.

 

For brake pad replacements or any other problems with your new or used Nissan, head down to your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan. We offer exceptional deals on your favorite models, and you can browse our inventory online at www.coastnissan.com.
