Your Buick is a great vehicle, and you want to enjoy it for many years to come. Preventative maintenance is the best way to keep your car working perfectly. Some components need to be replaced at regular intervals, and others can wear out or become damaged due to age. As your Buick dealer, we want to tell you about some of the types of Buick maintenance we provide.
Preventative Care: Buick Maintenance at Your Buick Dealer
Battery Maintenance
Your battery is very important, as it supplies the electrical charge that allows your engine to crank and come to life. Despite its vital role, your battery is a relatively short-lived component. The average life of a battery is between three and five years. This short life is due to the processes that allow the battery to store and supply electricity. The chemicals inside the battery gradually break down and this causes the battery to fail.
As part of battery maintenance, our technicians will examine your battery for signs of damage. If your battery isn’t sealed, we check the electrolyte levels and adjust them as necessary. We also check the terminals are clean and that battery connectors are securely in place. We can also test your battery to gauge its potential remaining life. If your battery is weak, we can replace it with a new one.
Brake Maintenance
Your Buick’s brakes are highly efficient, but they will suffer wear and tear over time due to the heat, pressure, and force that components are constantly subjected to. The key to keeping this system working perfectly is regular maintenance.
Brake maintenance involves replacing components like the brake pads and brake fluid at pre-determined intervals. In addition, mechanical components like the calipers must be checked for rust or damage, and metal brake lines and rubber brake hoses must tested for rust, wear, or leaks. The brake master cylinder, which controls the braking system, must also be tested to ensure that it’s working correctly.
Tire Maintenance
Your tires are subject to constant abrasion as you drive. In addition, tire balance problems or wheel alignment issues generate additional wear. Finally, your drivetrain causes unique wear patterns on your tires. Despite all these potential sources of damage, you can keep your tires in good condition for many years with regular maintenance.
Tire maintenance involves a variety of ways to reduce damage. We can rotate your tires and shift each tire to a different position to equalize wear. We can test your tire pressure to ensure they’re correctly inflated to reduce damage. Our technicians can also physically examine your tires for cracks, leaks, and other issues.
Maintenance can prevent many types of damage and save you money in unnecessary repair costs. Call our service department today at Dutch Miller Beckley Auto Mall.
