Get Ahead Of Car Troubles With Service From Coast Nissan

Having your car break down on a busy highway or in the middle of nowhere is a major inconvenience. From having to stop and fix the problem or calling a repair truck to help get you back on the road, it can take hours before your car is ready to drive again. Fortunately, many of these breakdowns are preventable with a little foresight and Nissan service from Coast Nissan. Much like you go to the doctor or dentist to detect problems ahead of time, come into our San Luis Obispo car dealership and have your Nissan checked for these preventable problems.

Dead Battery

Car batteries are often forgotten about, as they generally last for about four to five years. Having to call someone to jump start the car can be difficult for everyone, especially on a busy road or highway, so have your battery periodically checked to ensure it is holding a good charge. During an oil change is the perfect time to have our experts check.

Tire Troubles

An improperly inflated tire is more prone to punctures and blowout that can take your car out of commission. By regularly monitoring the tire pressure, you can avoid putting your tires at greater risk as well as keep your gas mileage from dropping.

Leaks

Your car relies on a number of fluids in order to run at maximum efficiency, and it is easy to not notice an internal leak in your car. Have Coast Nissan examine your car for any potential leaks or low levels of fluids in your car during your next service appointment.

These conditions are easily detectable and preventable if they are caught ahead of time, so schedule a regular checkup for your car at Coast Nissan. Our expert technicians will get your car patched up and on the road in no time, and you can even schedule an appointment on your time on our website.

Organize And Plan Your Nissan Car Service With Coast Nissan

If you take a look at your Nissan’s car manual, you will find  many service dates and mileage points which can be difficult to keep up with. There are several methods you can use to keep up with this schedule, including setting reminders on your phone or documenting your mileage each day. Fortunately, Coast Nissan can bundle many of your service appointment together and get you on a more efficient schedule, and this way you only need to remember these two main service areas. Stop by our Nissan San Luis Obispo service center to see how our experts can keep your car running smoothly.

Oil Change

Oil acts as the lifeblood of your car, so it’s critical to stay true to your recommended oil change dates. It keeps your engine components lubricated and operating efficiently, and dirty oil can cause permanent engine damage and loss of fuel efficiency. While the oil is changed, you can have other fluid levels, such as the coolant, checked and refilled if needed, along with other smaller components such as the air filter.

Brake Pads And Tires

If oil is the lifeblood of the vehicle, then the tires are the arms and legs that the car relies upon to keep moving. Both your tires and brakes pads wear down over time, as the pads erode closer to the metal strip and the tire treads become thinner. Both are critical to driving safely and efficiently, so have our service experts examine your wheels during each oil change or no later than every 20,000 miles.

With our Nissan service, you can extend the life of your vehicle and get more out of your investment. The car will feel better to drive and you can be confident in your safety, so head over to Coast Nissan today.

Get Your Nissan Sedan Or Crossover Off-Road Ready

Nissan Pathfinder

Traveling off-road is some of the most fun you can have in a car, and it also has many practical uses. There are plenty of camp sites and scenic destinations in San Luis Obispo that can be found just by heading down a dirt or gravel road. Going off-road gives you the chance to get away from the busy city traffic and spend some time surrounded by nature. The best part is that you don’t need a rugged jeep or truck like the Nissan Pathfinder to enjoy the rougher roads; with these few service tips from Coast Nissan you can transform your sedan or crossover into an off-road machine.

The most important car component to change for off-road exploration is your tires. They will be under the most stress from the uneven and rocky ground, and a set of all-terrain tires will make travel safer and smoother. Specialized tires have treads that are better suited for gripping loose surfaces, and are often wider than other tire models. A general guideline is that a smaller wheel should have more sidewall, which will greatly improve ride quality. All-terrain tires also are more resistant to punctures from sharp objects and rocks that you may come across while driving off-road.

Before you embark on any camping trip or other adventure, it is also important to make sure your car is running smoothly. At a coastal Nissan dealership, we can inspect your car for any leaks or fluids that need replacing, as well as give advice on what tire would be best for your model. We can also make sure your tires have been rotated and properly aligned, which will remove any added strain on your car.

Whether you need a simple oil change or a full inspection, our #Nissan service experts are there to keep your car running smoothly. You can find all our latest cars and save some time by making a service appointment online at www.coastnissan.com.

Stay On Top Of Brake Maintenance With These Simple Tips

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.
