What Does Typical Buick Service Include?

Is your Buick running a little ragged? Maybe it seems a little lackluster going up hills or passing slower traffic? Perhaps it’s just not handling as well as it always did? If any of these things are familiar, it’s time for some Buick service. To keep your car in great shape, these are the essential maintenance tasks:

Oil Changes

The engine is the heart of your car, and to keep it healthy, oil changes are crucial. Clean and fresh oil allows the moving parts in the engine to get the proper lubrication. Old and thick oil can’t do this as well. The result is a reduction of power, as well as a decrease in gas mileage. You should have your oil changed about every six months.

Tires Rotations

Getting your tires rotated twice a year is also a good idea. Tires don’t wear down the same way, which is why it’s important to move them to different spots on your car. When you do this, in addition to getting better performance, your tires will last a lot longer.

Battery Tests

At least every year, you should have your battery tested. If it’s older than three years, you may want to consider getting it tested more often. This is because they generally only have a lifespan of about five years

Brake System Check

There are parts of your braking system that wear out over time, including the shoes, pads, and rotors. You should have your brakes examined yearly to determine if one or more of these components needs to be replaced.
