Experience Fine Arts And Fine Food Around San Luis Obispo This Month

If you are looking for some exciting weekend events or places to eat, there is no better area than San Luis Obispo. There are always new locations and performances to explore or enjoy, and you don’t even have to go on a long road trip in your Nissan to find them. The staff at Coast Nissan has called this area home for years, so let us show you some of the best entertainment spots and places to grab a nice bite to eat.

Any weekend is a good time to enjoy a concert, see a play or be amazed by a wonderful performance. That’s why the Cal Poly Arts foundation hosts at least one event on almost every weekend over at the Performing Arts Center on Grand Avenue. The February lineup consists of a showing of Rusalka from The Met: Live in HD series along with several concerts from popular bands like Paddy Moloney & The Chieftains. These events are great to see with friends, a date or even the whole family. Be sure not to miss the incredibly talented Golden Dragon Acrobats, who will be taking the stage on February 26. Ticket prices for all events are affordable and available online.

After one of these thrilling shows, you may want something to eat, so here are our picks of some of the best #burgers in the area. For a burger place that does all the classics extremely well, check out the Old Village Grill down in the Village of Arroyo Grande. The wood-lined walls and rich history of the place is the perfect backdrop for enjoying a bacon cheeseburger. Their Gardenburgers are perfect as a vegetarian option, and if you are feeling adventurous you can try a Pastrami Cheese Burger or the Cajun Blue Cheese Bacon Burger for a nice kick. What burger would be complete without fries and a milkshake? The Old Village Grill is a master of these, as well.

 

Not only should both dinner and the show be enjoyable, so should your drive around town. Whether you are cruising around in a new Nissan Altima or used Nissan Leaf, Coast Nissan is the best spot for deals on all cars and Nissan leases. Be sure to check us out online at www.coastnissan.com.

Charge Faster And Easier With Nissan’s New Stations

By
Posted in Uncategorized

The Best Nissan Cars Ever MadeElectric cars are slowly working their way into becoming more mainstream rather than just some experimental alternative. The technology has grown over the past five years, thanks to partnerships and research into this alternative way of driving that is more efficient and environmentally friendly. Electric cars now aren’t much more expensive than a gasoline powered vehicle, and their seating and trunk space has also been catching up. But one reason that deters many potential drivers is needing to charge the car, and that is why Nissan is making this process faster and more convenient.

We’re excited about this at #CoastNissan.

While the electricity needed to fully charge an electric car is much cheaper than buying gas, the time investment has always been much more. A trip to the gas station takes only about five minutes, but many electric cars have had charge times upwards of an hour. If you are at home this isn’t a big deal as you can just leave it overnight, but for road trips or vacations where a person might need to refuel along the way, it can delay you. Fortunately, Nissan has been installing new dual port DC fast chargers in locations all across the country that can provide an 80% charge in under 30 minutes.

 

These new 50-kW fast chargers will have your Nissan Leaf ready to go quickly, and are being built around the U.S. as part of Nissan’s No Charge To Charge Program. Best of all, anyone who buys or leases a 2013 or later Leaf will receive two whole years of free charging at these stations. That’s right, you won’t even have to pay for the electricity. Nissan has also partnered with BMW in order to bring this Combined Charging System to even more areas in 2017. Nissan estimates that over 90% of Leaf owners will have easy access to free and quick charging in the coming future.

To be a part of this amazing program, head on over to Coast Nissan to check out all our incredible deals on a Nissan Leaf or for a look at our Nissan leases. We also have plenty of new or used Nissan Leaf models in stock, so check us out online at www.coastnissan.com.

The Nissan Titan And Frontier Are Trucks Fit For All Drivers

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan titan 3Trucks used to be something that only a few people purchased, whether for working, transporting equipment or bringing around a trailer. But over the past few years, they have become far more accessible for all, so throw out any preconceived notions you may have about pickups being too bulky or fuel inefficient. Nissan’s lineup of brand new 2017 trucks have many features you would expect on sedans or crossovers, and are just as easy to drive. Come to Coast Nissan to see why the #NissanTitan and the Nissan Frontier are a great candidate for your next car.

 

Nissan Frontier:

As a member of the mid-size pickup class, the Frontier offers a surprising amount of maneuverability while still providing a sizable amount of towing power. This Frontier is easy to drive around town or to work, thanks to its 2.5-liter engine. The best part about this truck though is the versatility; you can take all the kids to soccer practice on Thursday and ready to go camping Friday night. The bed is incredibly spacious for a mid-size truck, with a fuel economy of 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway, one of the highest in the class.

 

Nissan Titan:

If you want a bit more towing power and bed space, then the Nissan Titan is the best fit for the job. The Titan sports a large V8 engine capable of outputting 390 horsepower with a maximum load of 9,390 lbs. This is easily enough to bring along large loads like a trailer home or even another car. The Titan also has improved suspension and advanced safety features like Vehicle Dynamic Control. The bed features Nissan’s unique rail system that has grooves that act as additional securing points for ropes or bungee cords.

Nissan Frontier 3

For a test drive of either of these versatile and easy to handle models, head down to your friendly San Luis Obispo car dealer Coast Nissan. You can also browse from all our latest Nissan models and Nissan leases, or you can find us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Add Years To Your Car’s Life With These Maintenance Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

shutterstock_191693912

Cars aren’t meant to last forever, but they should be able to handle the road for many years. Parts eventually deteriorate or the engine begins to fail, and slowly your car will need more and more repairs to keep going. With the right care, maintenance and attention to detail though, you can extend your car’s life to its fullest. Here are some easy ways from Coast Nissan to keep your new #Nissan operating at full capacity.  We want to make sure your Nissan lasts for many years.

Follow The Service Schedule: It may seem simple, but many car owners neglect the mileage suggestions laid out in the owner’s manual. Nissan engineers built the car and know when it needs to have an oil change or get the tires rotated, so pay close attention to their suggestions. Car longevity all depends on keeping up with maintenance.

Routinely Check Fluids and Tire Pressure: Making sure your vehicle has the proper amount of oil, radiator fluid and brake fluid is extremely important, and it only takes about 10 minutes. You can check the oil levels using the dipstick while the car is cool and off, and the other fluids are stored in plastic containers that are easy to examine.

 

Wait 30 Seconds at Start-Up: A cold engine has almost no oil left on its moving parts, as it has all fallen down into the oil pan. It takes a bit of time for the oil pump to properly lubricate the engine again, so if your car has been off for more than four hours, wait 30 seconds before you shift gears.

 

Drive Carefully: While a few full-throttle accelerations or screeching halts won’t do any significant damage to your car, constantly driving like you are in the Indianapolis 500 will cause more strain on important parts. This can lead to more frequent repairs and more money out of your pocket.

 

For all your Nissan service needs, or if you just can’t figure out what that rattling or squealing sound is coming from your car, head over to Coast Nissan. Our San Luis Obispo car dealer technicians are trained to work on Nissan cars, so let us take care of the hard work. You can find us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Reveals New Developments All Around The World

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan

One of the biggest struggles that any car company can face is managing sales and research projects from all around the globe. Every country has different laws and taxes on imports and exports, along with varying emission standards. Nissan has recently made big strides in development and manufacturing in several different countries, including Japan, the UK and the United States, which is a big reason why Nissan is the fastest growing car brands in the world.

Japan:

Over at the Tokyo Auto Salon, Nissan brought several new performance models and prototypes. They were expected to bring the new NISMO GT-R, but Nissan also showed off NISMO versions of the Juke, Fairlady Z and the March. #NISMO is Nissan’s performance car division, and they add more horsepower, better handling and more interior features to already successful cars. These cars not only look better, but also run more smoothly and efficiently.

 

United Kingdom:

Across the globe in London, Nissan is putting the final touches on its first test of a driverless car. This will be the first autonomous car to hit the streets in Europe, and will be a great look at Nissan’s new self-driving technology. This car is a modified Nissan Leaf that has added sensors and cameras in order to analyze how the traffic around the vehicle is changing and how best respond.

 

United States:

Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn recently announced that they and many other manufacturers will likely be expanding U.S. production in the near future. Toyota and Kia have already announced multibillion dollar investments, and in order to stay competitive Nissan will need to as well. Nissan already has four factories with over 22,000 employees, and further investment will create even more jobs. It should also lead to price reductions on most cars, like the popular Nissan Altima or Nissan Rogue.

 

You don’t have to go all around the globe though to experience the best of what Nissan has to offer though; simply head over to Coast Nissan. Our selection of new and pre-owned cars, Nissan leases and Nissan service is unrivaled, so check us out on the web at www.coastnissan.com.

Keep Your Car Secure With These Easy-To-Follow Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Car theft is one of the easiest ways to lose the investment that you have made in your vehicle. Any parking lot or side street is a potential threat to the security of your car, and in most cases #stolen vehicles are unable to be retrieved. In order to prevent this tragic crime, here are some simple steps to protect your vehicle from Coast Nissan:

 

  1. The easiest way to protect your car is simply to remember to lock the doors and make sure all windows are up. Get in the habit of checking if you pressed that button; it only takes a few seconds.

 

  1. Try to avoid leaving your car unattended, especially if it is still running. These cars are easy targets, even if you are only gone for a few minutes.

 

  1. When parking at night, choose a well-lit and occupied area. If that lot has security cameras or a security guard, even better. You also should avoid leaving any valuables in plain sight, as it only makes your car a more lucrative target. Try storing them under seats or bring them with you.

 

  1. Don’t leave the vehicle title or a spare key lying around the car. Thieves know where to look for these and it will only help them in avoiding being caught.

 

  1. There are many vehicle immobilizer systems that you can purchase, including fuel-cut off systems and smart keys. This will prevent the car from moving, even if the thief bypassed the ignition by hot wiring the car.

 

  1. In the event your car is stolen, having a GPS tracking system installed will help the police recover the car much faster, which is very important when it comes to vehicle thefts. The farther away the perp can get then the less likely you will see your car again. There are several affordable and effective GPS trackers you can buy, many of which will link directly to your smartphone.

 

At Coast Nissan, we want to keep you and your vehicle safe and secure. Our dealership offers premium Nissan service, including oil changes and tire rotations, so let our expert car technicians take care of your vehicle. Our San Luis Obispo car dealership also offers a wide selection of new and pre-owned Nissan models, which you can view at www.coastnissan.com.

Conquer Life On The Go With The Nissan Rogue Sport

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan Rogue 2017 5 One of the best aspects of the crossover SUV class is its versatility. Everyone needs a car that can get them to work safely and efficiently, but many sedans or hatchbacks don’t offer the option to head off road or be adventurous. These sporty and practical cars are ready to handle whatever life may offer, from driving in highway traffic to exploring national parks. If you want a good looking car that can do anything, then head over to Coast Nissan for a closer look at the 2017 Nissan Rogue.

 

Crossovers are all about combining performance with cargo and seating, and the Rogue handles both with ease. The clean lines and integrated V-motion grille give the car a powerful look, which is more then backed up by its 2.5 L engine that is perfectly capable of towing smaller loads. This year’s model even has an available #hybrid option that boosts both the city and highway fuel efficiency by about 6 mpg, with the added benefit of fewer emissions. The interior is also impressive, with a large trunk space that can be enlarged by folding down the second row of seating. With Nissan’s Divide-N-Hide setup that includes reversible trunk floor panels, you can make room for any larger outdoor gear or weekend getaway essentials.

 

Nissan Rogue 2017 8

 

Also new for 2017 is the Nissan Rogue Sport, which is designed perfectly for life on the go. It has premium interior accents and available heated seats, along with plenty of extra smart places to store cords, snacks, glasses or whatever you might need. It also features Nissan’s latest Advanced Drive-Assist Display, which shows directions, phone messages or calls and driving mode on an easy to read display near the speedometer. This way you don’t have to glance away from the road every few seconds trying to decipher your GPS or notifications.

 

For the best deals a San Luis Obispo car dealer can offer, come talk with one of our trained sales associates at Coast Nissan.

Let #CoastNissan help you find your next family outing destination with this look at the highlights of the county. You won’t want to miss any of these!

Farmer’s Market:

One of the most exciting events to attend no matter where you are is a Farmer’s Market, and San Luis Obispo does it better than anyone. If you are looking for an exciting Thursday evening, cruise your Versa over to the massive Farmer and County Markets down on Higuera Street. This tradition has been going strong for 30 years, and is a great opportunity to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables from local growers. You can also find plenty of handmade trinkets and charismatic entertainers to make your evening even more fun. If you want a particular selection of foods though, many markets have their own specialties. Avila Beach and Morro Bay will rock your world with seafood, while the Templeton market is perfect for aspiring or amateur chefs.

 

Hearst Castle:

If you are looking for a more historic and grandiose attraction, then you can’t go wrong with the Hearst Castle. William Randolph Hearst built this marvel as his dream home, and it is filled with extravagant pictures, sculptures and architecture. Located just a short drive north down Highway 1, this 250,000-acre estate has four unique homes with plenty of rooms, gardens and even a private zoo to explore. The best parts though are the golden swimming pools that gleam with beauty.

Nissan Pushes For Bolder And More Modern Sedan Look

By
Posted in Uncategorized

2017 is already looking to be a fantastic year for car companies and consumers, with a slew of new models and changes being revealed. So much has already happened, from the Consumer Electronics Show to the latest North American International Auto Show, and manufacturers like Nissan have already shown off some interesting prototypes. Nissan’s latest creation is a new concept car that is focused more on visual appearance rather than a high powered engine. Come take a closer look at the V-motion 2.0 model that looks to shake up the sedan class.

 

Over that last couple of design cycles, Nissan has been putting more emphasis on #personalization and visual beauty. One of the biggest reasons for this is the approach of autonomous cars, which when used will lessen the importance of the driving experience. That’s not to say Nissan models aren’t fun to drive; each car has an engine that is perfectly tuned to maximize performance while still maintaining a high fuel efficiency. The look of a car will always be important, no matter who is driving the car, and this V-motion 2.0 design is certainly eye catching.

Nissan V-Grille

This feature is an improvement on the already established V-motion grille, which can be found on most Nissan models today. This update will stretch the “V” grille further along the front of the car, creating sharp edges and powerful lines, which Nissan describes as, “emotional geometry.” The larger grille also has the added bonus of providing more airflow to the engine, which can naturally cool it down. New lights and glowing LEDs have also been added to indicate when the car is in autonomous mode.

 

At Coast Nissan, we’re excited about the new technology on the horizon. Coast Nissan is the number one San Luis Obispo car dealer for buying a new or pre-owned Nissan model thanks to our personalized customer car. We will do everything we can to make sure your new car or Nissan service is just how you like it, so check us out online at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Shares Its Vision Of The Future Of Cars

By
Posted in Uncategorized

nissan logo 1

The 2017 North American International Auto Show, or NAIAS for short, brought together numerous car manufacturers and designers for some engaging discussions in the future of transportation. CEOs and lead engineers presented in front of large crowds at the event, including Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. Ghosn is one of the most vocal leaders of the car industry, and in his talk he listed numerous areas that must be addressed in the coming future. Notably, he focused on four topics: electric cars, autonomy, self-driving cars and applications.

 

Electric Cars: These small but efficient vehicles have been around for a long time, and making sure they are more affordable and have a longer range in the future is critical. A battery powered car has no emissions and can be charged in as little as 30 minutes. The 2017 Nissan Leaf is a great example.

 

Autonomy and Self Driving Cars: These two are generally grouped together, as #autonomous cars only require minimal human input. Many automakers have pledged to make these commercial available by 2020, including Nissan, and Ghosn urged others to stick to that promise. They will definitely be the face of driving in the future.

 

Applications: As smartphones become better integrated with cars, we can begin to use them more efficiently than ever. Voice activated commands and the ability to add events to your calendar are just a few of features companies are researching. The possibilities are endless if every car can be connected to each other. It will also make self-driving cars safer if they can communicate with other vehicles.

 

Nissan has always been a proud innovator and leader, so stop by Coast Nissan today to see why our cars are the best you can buy. Our San Luis Obispo car dealership has all the newest 2017 models along with quick and effective Nissan service, so check us out online at www.coastnisssan.com.
