How Much Does it Cost to Maintain a Buick Vehicle?

October 6th, 2024 by

Buick is known for building luxurious and sophisticated vehicles. The best Buick cars and SUVs offer quiet cabins, smooth and powerful drivetrains, and great features.

One of the misconceptions about luxury vehicles is that they’re more expensive to maintain, but that’s not the case with Buick.

In fact, Consumer Reports ranked Buick as the second-least expensive brand of vehicle to maintain in its 2023 Annual Auto Survey. That means you can rely on your Buick to keep you on the roads of Chicago with lower costs each year.

Let’s look at some of the factors at play in annual maintenance costs, including Buick car parts and regular services:

Oil Change Interval for Buick Cars

Buick’s range of sophisticated engines requires fully synthetic oil, however, this high-quality oil allows them to go further without an oil change. While many other cars makes have 3,000 to 5,000-mile oil change intervals, Buick’s oil change intervals range from 7,000 to 10,000 miles.

Most Americans drive an average of 13,500 miles a year, which which means Buick owners change oil on average one time less than other drivers, leading to lower maintenance costs over time.

Buick Parts

At Zeigler Buick GMC of Lincolnwood, we use high-quality OEM replacement parts made by Buick. These parts are sometimes more expensive than aftermarket parts, but because they’re designed to fit your specific vehicle Buick parts last longer. That means you get better value for your dollar with OEM parts even if they’re slightly more expensive than non-factory parts you buy elsewhere.

Car batteries are often expensive, and failed batteries can lead to other problems in your vehicle’s electronic systems. The OEM battery in your Buick is designed to last longer than five years, making it a durable and reliable option that saves you money by being of higher quality than competitors.

It’s worth noting that because Buick is part of the bigger General Motors family, Buick parts are often less expensive than comparable luxury parts from competitors.
