Luckily, the professionals at our Nissan service center and dealership are prepared to help. more Watch out for weather!

We recommend slowing down and driving with caution whenever you experience inclement weather on the road. Avoid those potholes and other debris! If you drive the speed limit and keep your eyes on the road, you can avoid damage to your tires, rims, and worse. When it comes to construction zones, you want to be aware of not just the workers, but also the cones, equipment, and other potential obstacles. Don't drive impaired! While using drugs or alcohol and then driving is an obvious big no-no, did you also realize that driving while sleep deprived is almost just as dangerous? Another kind of driving impairment is driving distracted. With various options these days for Bluetooth compatibility, there’s just no excuse to text or call while driving unless it’s hands-free. Be the best defensive driver you can be! Slow down in congested areas, yield to right of way, and follow the speed limit.

That’s why we’ve compiled a list of our best new cars for new drivers and students.

The safety and durability of Nissan vehicles have not gone unnoticed over the years. One classic example is the Nissan Altima. There are plenty of 2000, 2002, and beyond models that are still thriving on the road, so this model is clearly a good long-term investment. For our most budget-friendly option for students, you’ve got to check out the Nissan Sentra. Not only does it have a super low base price, but the fuel efficiency of 37 miles per gallon on the highway really pays off over time. This compact model is easy to drive, easy to park, and functional for no-frills everyday travel. If your student needs more cargo space for those dorm essentials or extracurriculars, the Nissan Kicks or Nissan Rogue might be a good fit.

If your air conditioner stops working in your vehicle, try not to lose your cool. With a quick appointment with the pros at Sansone Nissan, we can get you back on the road for all your summer travels. more We know it’s no fun when you’re trying to blast the AC to combat the 80-90 degree weather and the only thing that comes out is warm air. Worse still, we’ve been in those situations where you turn it on and no air comes out at all. However, we don’t want you to fret if this happens because our Nissan service center is equipped to diagnose any air conditioning related problems and fix them in a timely manner. Our most common AC service is a system charge. Essentially, the pressure and refrigerant fluid in your air conditioner are what make the air cold. If the fluid is too low, from a leak or for any other reason, your system will blow out warm air. If it turns out it is a leak, we will replace the hose or other component that is causing the problem. Another easy AC fix is a filter change. Sometimes your filter will pick up too much debris from the air and get clogged; we can simply unclog it for you. Lastly, if neither of those issues is the culprit, it might be a radiator or condenser issue. While this might be a more complicated repair than the first two, you can rest easy because our trained and certified technicians have seen and dealt with it all. As your nearest Nissan dealer, make an appointment with us today for any of your service needs. We look forward to helping you soon!
