When looking to keep your car in the best shape possible for many years, getting preventative maintenance at your GMC or Buick dealership is key. Regularly visiting your Buick or GMC dealership allows the technicians there to get to know you and your car so they can offer advice and services to keep that car reliable and functioning well.

Understanding Car Preventative Maintenance: Essential Services from Your Buick GMC Dealership

Oil Change

Your Ford vehicle is going to need an oil change at least once a year, and it may need one more frequently depending on your model and the oil it requires. Modern Ford vehicles have a feature built-in to remind you to go and get your oil changed. You may also need to stop by to get your oil level topped off between oil changes.

Brake Service

Brakes can develop issues even if they’re checked regularly at the dealer. If your brakes seem less effective than usual, feel spongy to step on, or start making noise, then visit the dealer for repair. Your brake pads will also need to be changed periodically, and your rotors may occasionally need resurfacing.

Battery Service

Your battery should last between three and five years, but it may become faulty sooner than expected. In some cases, your battery can be repaired, and your dealer will be happy to take care of that for you. Other times, the battery won’t be fixable, so it’ll need to be replaced. It’ll also need to be replaced when it’s old and worn out. Your dealer will check your battery’s health when you stop in for routine service.

Tire Care

When your tire tread gets too low, your tires will need to be replaced. You can buy new ones at the dealer and get them fitted there. Your tires will also need some TLC to make sure they wear down evenly and last as long as possible. Your dealer will perform regular tire rotations for you to keep them in good shape. The dealer can also check the tread and let you know when it’s time to replace your tires.

Why Go to the GMC or Buick Dealership for Maintenance?

The main reason to get all your maintenance done at the dealership is to get access to expertise. Dealership mechanics are factory-trained and use all the latest techniques and equipment to handle both older and newly released Buick and GMC cars. Independent auto repair shops don’t have the same level of training and expertise as dealership technicians. Plus, dealers provide great customer service as well as top-notch car service and repairs.
