Remain Safe On The Road With Some Easy Brake Pad Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

There are many important parts to your car, including the engine, steering wheel, tires and many others. All these parts eventually need replacing or fixing depending on the wear and tear that they experience. Flat tires need to be swapped out for new ones, and an engine needs new oil and gas to keep it running smoothly. One of the most forgotten about components is the brakes, which people often just assume will always be there, but still need the same sort of care and attention.

 

Most car braking systems, including those found in cars like the Nissan Altima, have either 4 or eight brake pads depending on their size and towing capabilities. The braking mechanism itself isn’t too complicated, and involves the release of pressurized braking fluid when you press down on the pedal. The fluid then pushes against the brake pad, which pushes down the brake rotor and creates the friction necessary to stop. Because you are constantly using your brakes, the pads eventually get worn down thinner and thinner, so they need to be replaced around every 1 to 1.5 years. The fluid also needs to be changed out.

 

There are a couple of signs that your Nissan’s pads need to be changed. The most noticeable and attention grabbing is a grinding, squealing or screeching that is emitted when the pedal is depressed. The steering wheel could also be vibrating and the brake pedal itself may be lower than usual. Many Nissan’s also come equipped with a sensor that activate a light when the pads are getting thin.

 

It is important for your safety and others’ to ensure your brake pads will work, so let us give you a hand with all your Nissan service needs at Coast Nissan. Our San Luis Obispo car dealer will help get your car in pristine driving condition, so visit us in store or online at www.coastnissan.com.

The 2017 Altima Holds On To Its Best Selling Status

It takes a lot to claim the title of best seller for any car manufacturer, but the Nissan Altima makes it look easy. It simply is one of the most economic car purchases you can make, thanks to the plethora of features that are packed into its surprisingly low price. Nissan is adding even more to this already incredible vehicle in 2017, so here is a quick rundown of what you need to know about the new Nissan Altima.

 

As with most cars, it’s a good idea to start at the heart of the vehicle: the engine. The Altima has two available engines this year, a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder one capable of delivering 182 horsepower, and a larger V6 that outputs 270 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A quick test drive in both of these cars will let you see for yourself how they differ in areas like acceleration and responsiveness. That way you can choose the option you enjoy the most. These engines also have a Continuously Variable Transmission, which allows them to finely adjust rpm levels in order to maintain a high fuel efficiency.

One of the best parts about buying a Nissan Altima is that you don’t have to purchase a super deluxe mega package in order to get some of the best features. While various trim levels like the SV and SL do add some fun-to-play-with features, the important ones are all found on the base model. A nice touchscreen console, smartphone connectivity through USB outlets and well-crafted interior seating are just a few of the many items that comes standard in the Nissan #Altima.

 

At Coast Nissan, the best rated San Luis Obispo car dealer, you can always find a great deal on a 2016 or 2017 Nissan Altima, so come visit our sales team. They can walk you through every step of buying a new car or one of our Nissan leases, or you can visit us on the web at www.coastnissan.com.

The Nissan Titan XD Platinum Reserve is Nissan’s largest and most powerful towing machine. It has a comfortable and spacious cabin, sturdy bed and the torque to haul even the biggest loads. Tim Stevens from Road Show has been reviewing this car for several months now, and has been loving its versatility. One of this most notable changes made to the Titan XD was the switch to a Cummins diesel engine, one of the most well-known and respected models. Stevens says multiple people have already asked him, “How do you like your Cummins?”

 

The answer of course is, “A hell of a lot” as the truck has been able to haul everything from new workout equipment to bales of hay and tools. Even Steven’s wife appreciated the stability and confidence the truck gave her when towing on slick roads. The truck will even appeal to your dogs, with a convenient rear bench that just so happens to have seat heaters.

Three Big Reasons To Consider The New Nissan Rogue

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan Rogue 1

 

With all the new and exciting features that companies are installing on their vehicles, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish which ones are really important. Having all these features isn’t a bad thing, but it makes sifting through to make sure a car meets all your needs a challenging task. It can be especially hard to find out what features are new or changed from last year, so here is a quick guide to the Nissan Rogue and its three new updates.

 

Hybrid Engine: The most exciting change for most drivers is the available #hybrid engine. It may not put out the same horsepower or torque, but the added fuel economy more than makes up for it in economic savings. This engine still packs a punch though, and is just as responsive as the traditional motor.

 

All-Wheel Drive: The Nissan Rogue is a crossover SUV, not a big truck or full-size SUV. These two classes are the usual recipients of an all-wheel drive setup, but the Rogue is no ordinary car. It makes great use of this feature in order to help navigate difficult terrain, as well as make driving in hazardous conditions more manageable. This car is meant to be versatile, and including all-wheel drive is important as it helps make any adventure a tad easier.

Remodeled Interior: While the exterior did receive a few changes to its grille and overall design, the true beauty lies in its new interior. New sound-absorbing materials and thickened window glass minimize the amount of noise from highways and rough roads, so your drive is smooth and quiet. The optional dark camel leather and extra stitching really helps make the car feel more luxurious.

 

We invite you to visit Coast Nissan, where you can test drive the 2017 Rogue for yourself. We are the number one San Luis Obispo car dealer, so be sure to check out our extensive inventory and Nissan leases online at www.coastnissan.com.  We want to be your dealership!

The Nissan Titan Is Perfect For New And Veteran Truck Drivers

By
Posted in Uncategorized

NIssan titan 2

Multipurpose vehicles have been gaining traction in markets over the past couple of years thanks to their versatility. Car makers have been rapidly trying to incorporate as many technological and safety features into their cars, as well as expand the cabin to comfortably fit a family. This has made classes like the crossover SUV popular. In a surprising reveal though for this year, Nissan has managed to bring this adaptability to their trucks like the Nissan Titan.

 

The #NissanTitan has always been a dependable and powerful truck meant for hauling trailers and tackling any other odd jobs. For 2017 though, Nissan decided to broaden the appeal of this pickup to all drivers, including people who have never driven a truck before. While they may seem bulky or difficult to maneuver, trucks like the Titan are designed to be incredibly user and family friendly. Wide mirrors and a 360 degree camera mean that backing up and changing lanes is easy and quick, while the conservative sizing of the Crew Cab and base Titan model makes the car handle more like an SUV. We encourage you to stop by for a test drive and see for yourself how practical and simple driving the Titan is.

While the Titan may have a larger cabin and more luxury interior features, it hasn’t forgotten its roots. The 5.6-liter Endurance V8 engine with Adaptive Shift Control and Downshift Rev Matching handles the road and towing with ease, putting out enough horsepower to handle any load. It also features Zero Gravity seats so any long rides or vacations are comfortable and cozy.

 

The 2017 Titan is designed to give any truck driver, new or experienced, the best value from their hard earned money. Come test drive one at your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan, where we offer fantastic Nissan service, and look for our latest deals online at www.coastnissan.com.

The Nissan Juke Sets A new J-Turn Record

By

Nissan Juke 3

 

There are a number of specialty turns and maneuvers you can use to get out of or into some sticky situations. The most popular is the U-Turn, which is always handy for when you accidentally pass your location and need to turn around. Parallel parking allows for numerous cars to fit onto the sides of roads or busy streets. Also popular is the J-turn, where a car goes from forward to reverse while only moving in a confined space. Recently, the Nissan Juke, with the help of its Intelligent Around View Monitor (AVM), performed a J-turn “blind” and set a new world record.

 

It may come as a surprise, but there are official records for performing each of these maneuvers, and they even have a “sighted” and “blind” category. The sighted category allows for the use of both cameras and regular vision, but the blind category requires all the windows to be completely blacked out so the driver must rely on the car’s cameras. Fortunately, the #NissanJuke is one of the only cars to feature an Intelligent AVM, which gives a crystal clear image of the surroundings along with a 360-degree bird’s eye view.

The turn was completed by stunt driver Paul Swift, who had to turn the car 180-degrees around in a space only 18 cm longer than the car itself. Suffice to say, that is no easy task, even when having full vision. Swift was able to make the turn in record time, setting a new blind record and even tying the record for a sighted turn. He commented, “I can really see how using the AVM technology in everyday driving situations would be a real benefit to Nissan customers.”

 

You too can try out the AVM system by test driving the 2017 Juke at Coast Nissan, the number one San Luis Obispo car dealer. We have great deals on new Nissans or even Nissan leases, and you can check us out online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Leads Discussion On The Future Of The Car Industry

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissasn leaf

Through the advancement of technology, car companies are looking to push their vehicles into a new era of programmability and safety. Electric and hybrid cars have incredible energy efficiency, and when operating on battery power have zero emissions. New autonomous or self-driving cars can help make long drives on highways more bearable. All these advancements help make the world a safer and cleaner place, and Nissan has recently held a talk about its new, “technological breakthrough in the realization of a zero-emission, zero-fatality world for everyone.”

 

All electric cars like the #NissanLeaf and hybrid cars like new Nissan Rogue are helping reduce the amount of pollutants and greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere. In places like China and sometimes even London, smog and pollution has become so bad that wearing a surgical mask to go outside can be a necessity. These foul contaminants can cause lung damage and exacerbate current conditions like asthma. Those governments have already imposed emission regulations on new cars, and Nissan is leading the fight against pollution with its combination of electric, hybrid, and fuel efficient cars. The company recognizes that changes need to be made in order to prevent such conditions in America, and is already taking action.

The other major talking point covered the inherent safety of having a society that drives mostly autonomous vehicles. With a common technology or connection, these cars could easily share information with nearby autonomous cars, including intended path and when they will speed up or slow down. This could even make accidents and collisions a thing of the past. Look for these cars to hit the market as early as 2020.

 

You too can reduce your emissions by getting a new or used Nissan Leaf or hybrid at Coast Nissan, your local San Luis Obispo car dealer. We have a great sales team that can answer any questions you may have, or you can visit our website at www.coastnissan.com.

NIssan titan 2

It has certainly been an exciting and crazy 2016, even in the auto industry. With talks of new hybrids, electric vehicles and self-driving cars, some interesting makes and models are sure to find their way to dealerships in the coming future. But surprisingly, 2016 has been a standout year for trucks, with sales reaching record highs and blowing away expectations. Perhaps this is due to their versatility and overall usefulness for everyday tasks. Whatever the reason, the Nissan Frontier and Titan have been incredibly popular, and their new 2017 changes have only added to the excitement.

 

The mid-size Frontier and full-size Titan are two of the most awarded trucks in their class, and have had great sales over the past year. The 2017 Frontier has some heavy competition in the Toyota Tacoma and the Chevy Colorado, but its’ dependable engine and spacious cabin have made it a big hit with families. It has shown an impressive 41.5 percent increase in sales, and Nissan is already working on implementing its NissanConnect technology and mobile apps into the upcoming 2018 model. If you need a family ride that is in it for the long haul, consider the Frontier an excellent candidate.

The 2017 Titan and #TitanXD have already been released, and the Crew Cab is not far behind. So far the updates to its exterior and interior design have paid off, with the car sporting a huge 363 percent increase in its third month of sales. This full-size pickup is great for those who want a little more luxury in their cab while still maintaining a powerful towing capacity.
