The Top 10 Maintenance Procedures for Your Car
You probably know about the importance of a Buick oil change. But can you name the top 10 maintenance procedures for your Buick Enclave or other exciting Buick or GMC vehicle? Read on to learn more and schedule your next service at Zeigler Buick GMC Lincolnwood.
1. Oil Changes
Every gasoline-powered vehicle needs oil to allow an engine to perform at its highest capacity. Avoid the friction, overheating, and other damage of dirty oil with frequent oil changes.
2. Check Fluids
Fluids like coolants, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and other essential fluids help maintain a properly functioning engine.
3. Change Filters
Filters also help maintain clean oil and other fluids to avoid contaminants entering the engine. Make sure your car’s various filters receive regular attention throughout the year.
4. Tire Rotations
Is your vehicle pulling to one side? A tire rotation may be needed to deliver a safer drive. Schedule these rotations for every other oil change, or about once every 7,500 miles.
5. Brakes Inspection
Every driver needs effective brakes to maintain the highest standard of safety while driving. Be sure your brake pads and other brake components are operating flawlessly through regular brakes inspections and replacements.
6. Headlight Inspection
Clean, unblemished headlights ensure a high standard of safety for drivers, especially during inclement weather. Make sure your headlights are shining brightly and that every plastic casing is intact.
7. Check Hoses and Belts
Hoses and belts may be the unknown workhorse of your vehicle. However, if they fail, essential functions like power steering or the alternator may fail. Be sure to check your vehicle’s hoses and belts during every routine oil change, or once every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
8. Inspect Windshield Wipers
Windshield wipers are a simple but important safety consideration for all drivers. Especially once we enter the winter season we experience at our Schaumburg, IL GMC dealership, it is extremely important that your wipers can effortlessly clear away rain and snow.
9. Perform Regular Comprehensive Inspections
In addition to routine oil changes and tire rotations, our Buick service center can assist with other needed inspections. Once you cross a mileage milestone, like reaching 30,000 miles, we can help with helpful comprehensive inspections,
10. Schedule Routine Car Washes
Not only does a car wash make your Buick Enclave look better than ever, but a routine cleaning can also extend the lifespan of your vehicle. Reduce the possibility of rust or other corrosion with regular car washes.
