Prepare For Your Next Big Trip With These Simple Steps

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Spring break or any extended vacation is a great time to relax and enjoy life for yourself. From having a “staycation” with some extra time to sleep in or planning a spectacular road trip across the country or state, you are free to mix and match adventure and recuperation time. Before you set out on a long journey however, it’s important to ensure that your car is road ready.  A quick inspection from #CoastNissan is one of the easiest ways to keep your car in prime condition, and here are a couple of car maintenance steps to take before your next adventure.

 

Fluid Levels:

Your car needs a perfect balance of several car fluids, including oil, coolant and brake fluid to operate correctly, so spend a couple of minutes browsing your owner’s manual and identifying the various fluid levels. If you find any are low, our engineers can replace it in no time.

 

Tire Maintenance:

The car may be carrying you, but the tires are what keep the car on the road and moving forward. Too low or high tire pressure can lead to permanent damage and a vulnerability to being punctured, which would definitely put a halt to the road trip fun. Check to make sure the air pressure and the treads are up to factory recommendations, and don’t forget the spare!

 

Air Quality:

Your car’s air filter is easy to replace, but it’s often one of the most ignored maintenance recommendations. To make sure you and your passengers are enjoying clean air during the whole trip, check the air filter and make sure it isn’t too dirty.

 

Car Wash:

It may seem simple, but a quick car wash will remove all the built-up dirt and grime that has slowly been accumulating on your Nissan. If the buildup remains too long, it can erode your paint and cause damage.

 

Our Coast Nissan service department can do all Nissan services for you and much more, so don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment at the best San Luis Obispo car dealer. Along with exceptional deals on all models, we also offer friendly customer service, so call or give us a click at www.coastnissan.com.

Be Ready For The Upcoming 2018 Nissan Leaf

By
Posted in Uncategorized

With Nissan’s recent public tests of their new autonomous vehicle program with a Nissan Leaf, it’s hard not to get excited for the possibility of a self-driving car in the company’s 2018 lineup. Currently the most likely candidate for the technology is the already tested Leaf, but Nissan has also hinted at the release of a Rogue Sport model that will have some of these features. In addition, Nissan is already giving some sneak peek information about the 2018 Leaf, as well as some extra incentives to switching over right now at dealerships like Coast Nissan.

 

Since its initial release, the Nissan Leaf has constantly been upgraded and improved each year in order to stay competitive in the electric car category. Because there have been breakthroughs in the technology almost every year, the #Leaf has seen a steady gain in both power and range since its inception. The 2018 model will take the car even further than before, boosting the range over the benchmark of 200 miles. The exterior trim will also become more modern, while still maintaining the hatchback design that allows for more passenger and storage space. It will also feature some, if not all, of the autonomous features debuted in the car’s recent London tests.

 

Nissan is also offering a limited time promotion for customers with leases that expire in 2017. During the time leading up to the full reveal of the 2018 Leaf, Nissan is offering special easy lease extensions of anywhere up to a year if owners hold onto their Leaf until the premiere. Those that do can get up to three month’s payments for free, and any existing Leaf owner or leaser will be able to upgrade to the 2018 model at a lowered price.

 

At San Luis Obispo car dealers like Coast Nissan, there are always plenty of incentives and benefits to switching to an electric vehicle like the award-winning Nissan Leaf. You can learn more about our offers and Nissan services online at www.coastnissan.com.

Get The Best Crash Test Safety Ratings With Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

No one plans to get in an accident, but it’s always better to be prepared for one with effective safety measures. Each year, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, or IIHS, performs extensive testing on cars from every brand in order to test how well they are prepared for and can deal with a crash. The guidelines for 2017 were even stricter due to the new headlight evaluation process that was launched, as the IIHS is stressing the importance of not only being crash ready, but avoiding a crash all together. For 2017, several Nissan models received superior front end crash safety ratings from the IIHS, and you can check out each one at Coast Nissan.

 

Nissan Rogue:

It should come as no surprise that Nissan’s most popular model also comes with state of the art crash prevention systems. It’s powerful hybrid engine makes use of #ForwardEmergencyBraking to detect impending collisions even when you can’t, and brings the car to a full stop.

 

Nissan Altima:

When you want a town car that can also adapt to any situation, the Nissan Altima provides an exciting and dynamic driving experience. With the space to bring along the whole family and a sizeable amount of trunk space for a compact car, the Altima is a great and safe choice for any driver.

 

Nissan Leaf:

The Leaf has always been at the forefront of technology, and its fully electric engine couples perfectly with safety technology much like the hybrid Rogue. This incredible car recently had a substantial increase to its range, and with a new Leaf purchase at Coast Nissan you receive two years of free charging as part of Nissan’s No Charge to Charge program.

 

At Coast Nissan, you will find great savings on new and used Nissans, including all of our IIHS superior crash rated models. We also have the best selection of Nissan services of any San Luis Obispo car dealer, so set up a meeting with our sales or service teams today at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Makes First Big Public Self-Driving Test

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Throughout 2016, car companies were hard at work developing the technology to make self-driving cars in order to meet the expected due date of 2020. Any technology that will make such a big impact on driving needs to be carefully developed and tested to ensure safety and reliability. Thanks to its hard work, Nissan is already in the testing phase for a self-driving Nissan Leaf, which recently made its debut on the streets of London. It looks like autonomous cars will arrive at Coast Nissan much sooner than expected!

 

The Nissan Leaf has always been a forerunner in utilizing emerging technology, as its electric motor has been improved every year to maximize range and efficiency. So, it’s no surprise that Nissan chose this affordable and agile car as its first candidate for the transition to #self-driving. The on-board computer that regulates the output of power to the engine pairs perfectly with the autonomous system as it makes braking and accelerating the car quick and easy. The compact build of the Leaf also allows the car to need less room when changing lanes, parking and coming to a stop. Combine this with current safety features like Forward Emergency Braking and Blind Spot Monitoring and the Leaf will be one of the safest cars on the market.

 

The London debut was a great moment for both Nissan to test the autonomous Leaf as well as let the public get its first taste of the technology. Nissan gave several demonstrations throughout the week that gave willing participants a close look at the car and a short ride with a qualified driver behind the wheel. The car is fitted with numerous additional laser scanners, radar and high quality cameras to ensure the self-driving system operates as planned.

 

Look for the autonomous Leaf at your local San Luis Obispo car dealer Coast Nissan in the near future, along with the autonomous Nissan Rogue Sport, which will arrive this year. You can also find exceptional financing options and quality Nissan services from our experienced technicians, so call or visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Explore The Landmarks That Make SLO Unique

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Every place and person has some aspect that is unique to them. The experiences and life events that we witness growing up and throughout our lives shape who we are and how we see the world. In the car industry, each vehicle has a long history or remodels and redesigns that have slowly shaped them into the cars you see on the road today. Even dealerships have their own personalities and histories with the places they are located. Coast Nissan has grown into one of the best San Luis Obispo car dealers, thanks to its time in this wonderful town, so here are some of our favorite unique spots around the city to enjoy.

 

Bubblegum Alley:

You may be familiar with the famous Paris lock bridge where couples symbolize their unbreaking love for each other by securing a lock on the bridge fence and throwing away the key. While it may not be as romantic, the Bubblegum Alley on Higuera Street is a great place to see how hundreds of thousands of random strangers and passersby have shaped the look on an entire road. All along the 20 meter long stretch of this backstreet alley, people have placed used chewing gum of all sorts of colors, flavors and smells. This incredibly colorful and sticky wall has been featured in many magazines and new stories, much like the new hybrid 2017 Nissan Leaf.

 

The Dorn Pyramid:

The Atlas Obscura is an online collection of some of the strangest and most interesting locations around the world, and in San Luis Obispo their pick is the Dorn Pyramid. It sits alone and isolated in the wilderness, and the only clue as its nature are the words “Disturb Not The Sleep Of Death” on the front. Historians discovered that it was a tomb meant for the wife and daughter of a wealthy lawyer and was constructed around 1905.

 

At Coast Nissan, we provide a #unique selection of services and deals on new or preowned Nissans that are perfectly suited for living in San Luis Obispo. Whether you are looking for a Nissan Altima or stellar Nissan services, your first stop should be www.coastnissan.com.

There’s That Pesky Check Engine Light Again—Now What?

By
Posted in Uncategorized

How can such a small light cause so much worry? If you have ever driven an aging car, one of the most dreaded notifications is having your Check Engine light turn on, especially if it happens while you are actually driving. It would be so easy if the car could pinpoint the problem for you, but unfortunately that isn’t the case. Luckily, at #CoastNissan our service department is trained to run an intricate analysis of your car in order to determine the exact cause and get it fixed. Here is a brief overview of the major reasons your Check Engine light is on:

 

Failing Oxygen Sensor

A bad oxygen sensor is the leading cause of common car repairs, and needs to be dealt with before it leads to more severe damage. The catalytic converter in your car is extremely expensive to fit, and a bad sensor could lead to it malfunctioning. This sensor is also important for balancing the car’s fuel-to-air ratio, which if incorrect can cause a 40% drop in fuel economy.

 

Failing Catalytic Converter

Unfortunately, your catalytic converter can fail for multiple reasons, all of which are problems themselves. Whether it starts from a faulty spark plug or warped engine components, the catalytic converter is prone to damage due to the failure of other parts. You can avoid this by getting regular inspections and Nissan services from our professionals, otherwise, it could end up costing over $1,000.

 

Loose Fuel Cap

A loose fuel cap is an easy fix, and even replacing a damaged one will only run you around $20. This is the first thing you should check if the Check Engine light comes on, as it could save you a trip to the mechanic. Turn the vehicle off, open and then tighten the fuel cap, and see if the Check Engine Light goes off.

 

Bad Thermostat

A car’s engine must be kept at a precise temperature to burn fuel, and the thermostat regulates the flow of coolant. This can be caused by lack of regular coolant changes or by driving in extreme temperatures.

At Coast Nissan, our technicians will use the code output by the Check Engine light to swiftly and accurately diagnose the problem, so you can get back on the road. Our San Luis Obispo car dealer is unmatched in customer service and satisfaction, so give a call or a click at www.coastnissan.com.

Bring Your Car To Coast Nissan’s Service Center For A Superior Inspection

By
Posted in Uncategorized

In order to make sure our health and wellbeing is up to date, we head over to doctor’s office for a quick checkup. Similarly, for a vehicle, the best way to make sure it is working properly is to head down to Coast Nissan for a multi-point inspection. Our trained service professionals have years of experience working with Nissan models, so let us do the dirty work and check to see if your car is running safely.

Getting an inspection is one of the best things you can do whenever you are planning a long trip, haven’t taken the car to a mechanic in a while or are buying a used car. When you buy a certified pre-owned car at Coast Nissan though, we do all that hard work for you so you are confident in driving any certified pre-owned Nissan. Our thorough 167-point inspection covers all the critical components like the engine, electrical system, brakes and body, and we provide CARFAX Vehicle History Reports with every car. Your safety and satisfaction is important to us, and we want to make sure that you feel comfortable with your pre-owned purchase. It also comes with a 7-year or 100,000-mile warranty that covers over 600 parts, along with complimentary Emergency Roadside Assistance and Car Rental Reimbursement if anything goes wrong.

Any good #carinspection will cover all the major components of your car, so be sure to pay attention to what all is included in any multi-point inspection. Most cars should get an inspection at least every 15,000 miles, and many states require you to have an inspection periodically.  These routine procedures can catch developing problems before they become too severe, and in the end can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars on fixing your car.

 

Whether you just need a thorough inspection or are interested in a certified pre-owned car like a used Nissan Leaf, schedule an appointment with our experts at Coast Nissan. You can find all the information about our Nissan services and models online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Announces Further Plans For GT-R Racing

By
Posted in Uncategorized

The Nissan GT-R is one of the most versatile and customizable sports cars on the market right now. Very few competitors can actually be found racing on worldwide tracks like the GT-R can, as drivers use this model as the basis for their own racing machines. This year, Nissan has announced that they are hosting and supporting many new racing programs, including a few special customer racing programs like the GT Academy. Be sure to stop by Coast Nissan to get your Nissan GT-R before the circuit begins!

 

Auto racing is growing larger by the year, not only in the U.S. but all around the globe. More and more companies are looking to try their hands at sponsoring events and creating models that are good for racing and sports car enthusiasts. For this year, four new cars based on the original #GTR performance vehicle will be designed by Nissan as part of their Super GT GT500 campaign. Nissan is always interested in training new drivers to continue growing the sport, and will be dedicating more resources to the one-of-a-kind Nissan GT Academy.

 

If you have a passion for driving and some video game racing experience, the #NissanGTAcademy offers something no other carmaker can: a chance at racing in the big leagues. Every kid who had the dream of being a professional racer now has the chance to qualify for this program online in the Gran Turismo qualifiers. Only 20 make it, but those that do get special training and skill testing from Nissan racing veterans in order to prepare them for a special event at England’s famous Silverstone raceway. Those winners then advance to the grueling Dubai 24 Hours race for the final challenge. Nissan has already sponsored several winners of this program so they can live out their dreams on the track.

 

All this starts with the Nissan GT-R, which you can test drive at your local San Luis Obispo car dealer Coast Nissan. We offer professional advice so you can find the best car that fits your needs, along with several Nissan services, so visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.

For A Sedan That Goes The Extra Mile, Check Out The New Nissan Maxima

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan Maxima

Every car class is designed for a different group of people. For example, a sedan is a fantastic car for small families or single drivers who want a bit of extra space for when friends want to join in. They make great first cars as well, thanks to their affordable cost, good size to power ratio and solid fuel efficiency. Nissan sells a number of sedans that each cater to a different driver, with the Altima being the most popular. However, the all-new 2017 Nissan Maxima is a heavy contender to fight for that title, thanks to its attractive style and bold design.

 

While it may appear to be a regular sedan at first glance, the #Maxima fuses hints of sportiness into its design.. The engine is the first area where this car is strikingly different from a traditional model. The 300 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque that this 3.5-liter V6 engine provides is enough to rival that of many full blown sports cars. When building this machine, the engineers took some inspiration from the GT-R, Nissan’s powerful supercar, such as sodium-filled valves and the fuel-injection process. Nissan has also developed a continuously variable transmission that fits this car perfectly, as it switches between gears much faster than a regular transmission. This allows the car to accelerate faster and feel more responsive.

Along with the engine, the exterior look and interior finishings bolster the sporty feel. The car’s sweeping aerodynamic curves were crafted to look like a jet fighter, in order to stand out from traditional sedans. The aero design carries over into the interior, which as you might be able to guess, looks similar to a cockpit. The cabin is a gorgeous cream color, with Ascot leather and a diamond-quilted pattern that looks and feels like luxury. The push-to-start button also flashes red as you climb into to the car, as if it is eager to be driven.

 

For a unique driving experience with a unique car, come visit Coast Nissan, where you can become the pilot of this sporty sedan. We also have great deals on Nissan leases and offer a host of affordable Nissan services, so find us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Seeks Goal Of Developing Connected Cars

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissasn leaf

As creating self-driving cars has become the goal that most automakers have set themselves, it’s important to consider all the potential benefits that a computer operated car can provide. These machines not only let you relax a bit more on your tedious drive to work each morning, they provide important information that can save you time and money. This is a concept termed “connected cars,” and it allows for better navigation, predictability and safety.

 

Much like the transition that phones made from a simple calling device to a computer in your pocket, vehicles are slowly becoming autonomous and also will be able to connect to the internet. This change means that cars will be able to communicate with one another and relay information back to a central system. It can then use this data to improve the efficiency of apps such as navigation. Each car will know if there is an accident on the highway or if some new road work is slowing down traffic in a certain area, thanks to other cars that have already encountered the incident. This allows for immediate, real-time updating of your navigation app.

 

There are many other exciting applications of this connectivity. Want to know if there is a free charging station or a spot open in a parking garage? Thanks to environmental sensors, an already parked self-driving car could tell if there is room open next to it, allowing entire parking lots to be mapped out in less than a second. These dynamic apps will change the way people drive, and adapt to the constantly changing world by simply being connected to other vehicles.

 

Nissan expects to have these cars on the road by 2020, but for now you can check out the award winning #Altima or a used Nissan Leaf at Coast Nissan. We have a wide selection of all the new 2017 models and provide many Nissan services, so check out our whole inventory online at www.coastnissan.com.
