Electric vehicles have fewer components than their gas counterparts but still need maintenance. Here at your local GMC dealer, we know that proper GMC EV maintenance can keep your ride in top condition. Let’s explore everything you need to know about your EV’s care.

GMC EV Maintenance from Your Local GMC Dealer

Tire Rotation and Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection

Tire rotation involves changing the position of each tire on your vehicle periodically to help achieve uniform wear across all tires. This service can prevent the premature wear of your tires and improve your EV’s performance. GMC recommends rotating the tires and performing a multi-point vehicle inspection every 7,500 miles.

During the multi-point inspection, our certified technicians check the tire pressure, fluid levels, windshield wipers, brake system, and powertrain and drivetrain systems to make sure everything is working as it should. At the moment of the inspection, they also lubricate the body components and top up the fluid levels if necessary.

One major part of vehicle maintenance is the cleaning and detailing you do at home, which can help protect your car from wear and tear damage. Whether you own or lease your vehicle, routine detailing is the best way to keep your vehicle in good condition. Check out the top detailing secrets used by your local GMC dealership.

GMC Dealership Detailing Secrets to Maintain Showroom Shine

1. Wash Before Detailing

The first step of detailing your vehicle is giving the exterior a good scrub to remove dust and debris accumulated from the road. It’s important to use detergents developed for cars since ordinary dish soap may harm your paint job. Experts recommend using soft microfiber cloths to clean and dry the vehicle. It’s better to dry your car by hand since air drying can leave water marks.

Tread Wear Indicator Bars Visible

Your GMC’s tires have tread wear bars placed within the grooves of the tread pattern. These bars serve as a visual cue to alert you when the tread depth has reached a critical level. Once the bars become flush with the tread, it means your tires can no longer provide adequate traction. Replace them before they compromise your safety on the road.

Regular GMC maintenance is crucial for your vehicle’s long-term health. As time passes, parts will wear out or become damaged, and this affects your GMC’s performance. As your GMC dealer, we want to tell you about some of our services to keep your vehicle in great condition.

From Your GMC Dealer: Examples of GMC Maintenance We Provide

Brake Pad Replacement

The brakes are one of the hardest working systems on any vehicle and one of the most vital. If your brakes are in good condition, you can easily control your speed and stop with ease anytime you need to. The brakes depend on friction to work effectively, and the brake pads generate friction. These pads fit into the calipers, which clamp against the rotors when you brake to bring your car to a stop.

The pads generate friction against the rotors through their special friction-producing material covering. As time passes, this material wears down. When the material becomes thinner, braking will become slower, and your braking distance will increase. If your pads are very worn, you’ll hear screeching each time you brake. We can quickly check the condition of your pads, and replace them in minutes for you.
