Explore San Luis Obispo As A Family In The Nissan Quest

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Summer is a time for family activities such as playing on the beach and going on vacation. But in order to get to your destination, you need a reliable and safe family car. This is where minivans like the Nissan Quest shine. With its top of the line safety technology, award winning crash test safety rating and flexible seating, the Quest goes above and beyond the standards for a family van. Come bring the whole family down to a Nissan San Luis Obispo dealership like Coast Nissan to begin making memories.

–

Seating And Entertainment

The Nissan Quest is not simply a minivan; with all its luxury features it functions more like a family limo. It features ample seating for seven, with plenty of leg and head room for taller passengers to stretch out in. For trips with fewer passengers, both the second and third row of seats easily fold down to expand the storage area to around 175 cubic feet. This also makes it a great alternative to a truck for moving larger loads such as furniture or college dorm room supplies. It also features an optional DVD entertainment system to keep the kids happy on any journey, long or short.

–

Safety

Safety is a major focal point for the Nissan Quest. Features like Stability Control can detect when the handling limits of the car have been surpassed, and automatically reduce the engine power and apply the brakes to prevent the driver from losing control. An optional rear-view camera helps prevent accidents when in reverse, and the car is equipped with front, side and overhead airbags to protect occupants in the case of a collision.

At Coast Nissan, your safety is our greatest concern, which is why we offer high quality Nissan service to keep your Quest running at maximum effectiveness. Visit us today to take advantage of our incredible summer savings offers, or browse our other models at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Reveals Autonomous Parking Feature

By
Posted in Uncategorized

The Nissan Leaf has always been on the forefront of technology since its release. It was one of the first electric cars on the market, and has always been offered at an affordable price. This way all consumers can benefit from zero emission driving and not need to fill up every week at the gas station. Nissan has slowly been teasing the features on the upcoming Nissan Leaf, and recently revealed a new technology that will make parking a quick and automated process: the ProPilot Park. Here is a quick look at this feature that will be implemented on new models in the coming future at Coast Nissan, the best dealership in San Luis Obispo, CA.

–

ProPilot

The ProPilot Park will be a new addition to the suite of ProPilot features that you can already find on many Nissan cars. The ProPilot system makes the car function much like an autonomous car on the highway, and is designed for use in single-lane highway conditions. Using various cameras and sensors, this system can monitor the car’s position in the lane as well as the speed and proximity to other vehicles. This allows it to compensate for changes in speed of nearby cars and adjust the brake and accelerator accordingly, functioning like an advanced cruise control system.

–

Autonomous Parking

Having to parallel park on a busy street or crowded parking lot can often be difficult, but the ProPilot Parking system ensures a smooth and precise park in even the smallest spaces. Once activated, it guides the car using both cameras and sonar and automatically controls the accelerator and steering inputs. Nissan is also working to expand this system in the future to navigate city intersections.

To see why Nissan cars offer the best in luxury and practical features, come test drive any model at Coast Nissan. We also offer fast and affordable Nissan service and great summer savings options, so visit us in store or online at www.coastnissan.com.

Are Fuel Additives Worth The Money?

By
Posted in Uncategorized

With the rising fuel prices in the summer, many people begin to scramble for ways to get the most out of every gallon and raise their fuel efficiency. With electric cars like the Nissan Leaf this is no worry, but the combustion engines that most cars run on nowadays can have their fuel economy lowered by everyday use that causes buildup in the engine. At most gas stations, you probably have seen fuel additive offers that claim to boost your mpg rating and clean out the engine, but do they really work? At Coast Nissan, your friendly San Luis Obispo car dealer, we can answer questions like that and many more about your car.

–

What Is A Fuel Additive?

There are several different categories of fuel additives, but you only need to know about a couple of them. The most common are already added to your gasoline at the pump, and you don’t need to pay extra for them. These additives generally increase the octane rating or act as a lubricant for the engine, making the fuel itself more effective. Additives you have to purchase, however, claim to scrub the engine of dirt and grime and increase the mpg that your car gets.

–

Do They Work?

Ultimately, you should be wary of any product that claims to improve gas mileage, as tests found these additives offer little to no benefit. However, that does not mean they are necessarily worthless. Though they may not directly raise your fuel efficiency, they do clean the injector, reduce carbon buildup and prevent injector corrosion. This can save you money in the long run by not having to replace the fuel injector, especially in older cars.

The best way to keep your fuel efficiency at its max though is with regular Nissan service from Coast Nissan and proper car care. Fixing incorrectly inflated tires or a faulty alignment will have a greater impact on your gas use than an additive, so schedule an appointment today at www.coastnissan.com.

Enjoy The Best BBQ in SLO Town At These Restaurants

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Barbecue is one of the best summer foods for both kids and adults. Restaurants around San Luis Obispo are serving up all kinds of smoked meats, including sauce covered ribs and moist chicken. With a variety of sauces and meats to choose from you can create your own combination of tastes, just remember to grab plenty of napkins. It’s the perfect fun and messy food to enjoy after a day at the beach, so here are a couple of Coast Nissan’s top spots to visit around San Luis Obispo, CA.

–

Old San Luis Obispo BBQ Co.

It takes years of experience in order to season and cook the barbecue meats perfectly, and these folks have been perfecting their authentic Santa Maria style barbecue since 2001. The chicken and pulled pork are house favorites, which pair magnificently with their tangy barbecue sauce. The tri-tip beef sandwich and the chicken sandwich are popular for people who order to go, and for dessert they have several interesting milkshake flavors like chocolate-bacon. On most days they stay open past midnight, so you can fill that barbecue crave at any time of the day. They also have a delivery option so you can get great food brought right to your door.

–

Firestone Grill

Firestone became famous for one major reason: their irresistible tri-tip sandwich. With beef that has been cooked to perfection, piled high on a crunchy French roll and smothered in heavenly barbecue sauce, this sandwich should be the first one you try at Firestone. They also offer several salads and lighter options if you aren’t as hungry, and their large menu means even picky eaters will be satisfied.

After eating your heart out at these great local restaurants, head over to a coastal Nissan dealership to check out our summer savings on all 2017 models. To see why Nissan is one of the fastest growing brands in America, have a chat with one of our sales team members or visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Venture Far This Summer With The Nissan Altima

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Summer is the perfect time for a road trip with friends or family. Exploring the country is a once in a lifetime experience that will expose you to new people, cultures and food. From heading up north to Oregon and Washington or to the east to see the magnificent Rocky Mountains, the U.S. is filled with fantastic scenery and places to visit. One of the keys to a successful road trip is having the right car, and the Nissan Altima is a fun and affordable option for any drive. Visit a Nissan San Luis Obispo dealership like Coast Nissan today to experience this car for yourself.

–

Perfect Size And Efficiency

For a family road trip or one with just a few friends, a sedan is ideal for convenience and fuel efficiency. The Altima has comfortable seating even for five people, and a large trunk space to store all the luggage and sporting equipment you want to bring along. The sedan design provides a smooth and quiet highway drive, especially with the Xtronic CVT that ensures gearshifts are virtually unnoticeable. The car also averages about 39 mpg on highways where you will be doing most of the heavy traveling.

–

Safety

One of the biggest concerns with any longer trip is the added danger and safety risk due to more frequent highway travel. The #Nissan Altima has several countermeasures in place though to keep you and your passengers safe. The Forward Emergency Braking can automatically warn you and even automatically stop the car if there is the potential on the collision, which is especially useful when traveling at high speeds. Blind Spot Warnings and Rear Cross Traffic Alerts keep you notified about cars moving on the other three sides of the vehicle so you can keep tabs on the surroundings.

At Coast Nissan you can get a taste of the Nissan driving experience with the Altima or any other of our outstanding vehicles. From great deals to fast and easy Nissan service, www.coastnissan.com has everything you need to make your summer road trip extraordinary.

Nissan Reveals New Self-Driving Taxi System

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Self-driving features like those on the new 2018 Nissan Leaf are important not for just the personal driving experience, but also for the transportation industry. Currently, there are several ride-sharing and taxi services only a tap away on your smartphone such as Uber and Lyft, but both depend on a human to do the driving. With no need for a specific driver, a self-driving taxi would be less expensive and more efficient. Along with the autonomous Leaf, which will be available at Coast Nissan in San Luis Obispo in the near future, Nissan also unveiled plans for a ride-hailing and ride-sharing service that will be completely transformed by self-driving cars.

–

Affordability

While purchasing and financing a car from a coastal Nissan dealership is an easy process, many people don’t have room for or don’t need a car of their own. In such cases, it makes more sense to source transportation from taxi or car sharing services. Nissan’s new service will be more affordable and effective than current systems, as it would be able to pick up multiple riders along the route in order to cut down on costs and backtracking. Many of these autonomous cars like the Leaf are also electrical, eliminating the need for gas stops and making the cars available sooner.

–

Implementation

There are several different methods that Nissan is considering to implement this new service. A standard taxi or Uber-like service will almost certainly be the backbone of this system, transporting people to and from destinations. Another possibility is a bus-like system, where a network of cars would be running on predetermined paths with specific drop off and pickup locations. Both of these options will make it easier for people to find transportation, at a more affordable price.

To see how these self-driving cars work and experience a different driving experience, drop by a Nissan San Luis Obispo dealership like #Coast Nissan once the all-new 2018 Nissan Leaf arrives. Also, be sure to check out our summer savings on our hottest vehicles, which you can find online at www.coastnissan.com.

Play A Few Rounds Of Golf At These Golf Courses In San Luis Obispo

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Golf Courses In San Luis Obispo

One of the oldest summertime activities is going golfing with friends or family. With the wide open holes and beautiful scenery in San Luis Obispo, California, going golfing is not only a good time to work on your swing, but also to enjoy the green hills and lush trees. Most courses are well shaded so the summer heat isn’t as exhausting as in other sports, and driving a golf cart can be almost as much fun as driving a new Nissan from a San Luis Obispo car dealer. Here are some of Coast Nissan’s favorite spots to hit a few balls.

–

Chalk Mountain Golf Course

The foothills of Atascadero are home to fantastic rock formations and sloping hills, which make it the perfect spot for a challenging but scenic course. Because it was constructed as part of the Heilman Park complex, it is one of the oldest courses in #SLO, and the clubhouse has many historic pictures and treasures to explore. For the more serious golfers, they host a number of competitive and charity tournaments throughout the year, as well as an organized Women’s Golf Club.

–

Avila Beach Golf Resort

While the Chalk Mountain Course highlights the beauty of the hills in San Luis Obispo, Avila Beach is located on the ocean and offers gorgeous views of the water. The course is nestled in the beach’s bird sanctuary, and the back nine holes passes through a tidal estuary. Both beginners and experts will enjoy the challenges offered as well as the breathtaking nature that surrounds the resort. While you are in Avila, be sure to visit the local Farmer’s Market for fresh meat and produce as well as the several boutiques and restaurants nearby.

While you may drive a golf cart on these courses, the best way to get there is in a new or used car from Coast Nissan. From the new hybrid Nissan Rogue to the specially designed Nissan Altima, you can find a great deal on any car at www.coastnissan.com.

Keep Your Air Fresh And Cool This Summer With These AC Service Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Now that summer is in full swing, temperatures are at their hottest and people are always looking for ways to cool off. Living in San Luis Obispo is nice because the beach is only a short journey away, but what about the drive itself? Your car has an air conditioning system of its own, but if it breaks then driving can become a real pain, as the sun will beat down and the cabin will grow hotter and hotter. Fortunately, your Nissan San Luis Obispo shop, Coast Nissan, has all the tools to get your air conditioning fixed up, as well as make driving in the summer more enjoyable.

–

Common Air Conditioning Problems

There are two major problems that your A/C can experience: a weak airflow and a warmer than usual airflow. A warmer airflow is generally an easy problem to fix; often the car simply needs more coolant, but it can also be caused by a leak. Leaks take more time and money to fix, as the source needs to be found and patched. A weak airflow is not too serious of a problem, and is most commonly caused by a loose connection or a malfunctioning ventilation fan. Don’t hesitate to schedule an A/C performance check if you suspect a problem.

–

Air Filter

The quality of your air is also a big concern, especially in the summer when pollution and ozone levels are higher than usual. The air filter removes pollutants from the air before it is cycled into your A/C system, which could be harmful to your health and exacerbate problems such as asthma. The filter also keeps your air smelling fresh.

For any other #Nissan service questions or concerns, talk to one of our trained experts at Coast Nissan. They will diagnose the problem quickly, provide an estimate and get you back on the road in no time. Schedule an appointment today at www.coastnissan.com.

Find Your Perfect Pickup With The 2017 Nissan Titan Lineup

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Finding a truck that fits your needs can be difficult, but not if you visit Coast Nissan. Buying a pickup is all about balancing affordability with the towing capacity and seating that you need for driving in San Luis Obispo. If you just need a work truck, a single cab is much cheaper and still has great towing, while a larger four door crew cab model will maximize both power and seating. If you are looking for the perfect all around truck though that can adapt to any situation while not breaking the bank, look no further than the new 2017 Nissan Titan King Cab, available now at a coastal Nissan dealership.

–

Balanced Features

The Titan King Cab has been called the “Goldilocks of the Titan lineup” as it has a unique blend of seating space, towing capacity and maneuverability. The engine is a fine tuned 5.6-liter V8 with 390 horsepower, which is easily enough to tow over 9,000 pounds. If you are planning a day at the beach, simply hitch up your small boat or jet skit using Nissan’s advanced trailer hitch features and drive down for a day of fun. Once you arrive, fitting into a parking spot will be easy, thanks to the precise control and maneuverability that can only be offered by the Titan King Cab.

–

Flexible Interior

One of the benefits of owning a #Titan King Cab is the ample seating space in back. However, Nissan also offers a market exclusive rear-seat delete option. Checking this box will remove the rear seats and replace them with a rear load floor and rear wall finisher that features tie-down hooks. This provides a massive amount of dry, in-cab storage space to go along with the bed of the truck.

At Coast Nissan, you can test drive any model from the Nissan Titan lineup to see which best fits your driving style. Our dealership also offers a wide selection of premium Nissan services, which you can view at www.coastnissan.com, that will keep your truck in peak condition.
