One of the sweetest feelings in the world is the moment you drive a brand-new Buick off the lot. But in order to continue enjoying the full power and performance you've come to expect, your Buick needs regular maintenance. Fortunately, nobody knows Buick maintenance better than the people who deal with them every day: the experts at your local Buick dealership. Here's just a taste of how we can help you keep your car performing at its best. more What Services Does Your Buick Really Need? Here’s What Matters Most 1. Oil Changes Whether it's by mileage or by month, sooner or later, your Buick will need to have its oil filter replaced and its oil changed. Most drivers know that oil changes are crucial for vehicle health, but not everyone knows why. Fresh, clean motor oil doesn't just lubricate the engine and ensure the purr you've come to know from your Buick. It also helps remove micro debris from the engine and keep it cool, ensuring excellent performance mile after mile. Remember that motor oil breaks down with both use and with time, so if you're coming up on your oil's change date or mileage limit, don't wait. Give your engine the fresh, clean oil it needs to do its best. 2. Brake Services Car reviewers may gush about engine power and zero to sixty times, but when it comes to safety, there's nothing more important on your Buick than the performance of its brakes. That's why brake service is essential to keeping your journeys ending in joy, not sorrow. Our technicians will inspect your brakes, look for brake fluid leaks, and ensure everything is in top condition. Your Owner's Manual will tell you at what milestone Buick recommends a brake inspection, but if you even think your brakes might be acting up, don't wait. Brake troubles can manifest as vibration, uneven braking, or unusual noises like scraping or grinding when braking. A spongy feeling in the brake pedal or increased stopping distance are also urgent warnings to get your brakes serviced. 3. Multi-Point Inspections Multipoint inspections are like a doctor's checkup for your Buick. Our technicians work hard to make sure that your Buick is performing as it should. We inspect tires for wear and weakness. We test headlights, taillights, and brake lights for brightness and function. We check levels for windshield wiper fluid, oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and more. The very best thing about a multipoint inspection? They're the perfect chance to catch developing problems early, before they can become big, expensive, or dangerous. Your Buick is designed to bring you that "just off the lot" spark of joy for years to come. Trust it to the professionals who know it best.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Maintenance is essential for every vehicle, even a Buick. As time passes, parts will inevitably wear out or become damaged. Fluids will weaken, potentially damaging other components. Your Buick service checklist has been carefully planned to account for natural wear and tear and ensure your car is always in good shape. As your Buick dealership, we want to tell you about some of the services we offer. more Fluid Checks Your Buick contains many different fluids, and each performs an important role. Some fluids, like engine oil, lubricate engine components to protect them against friction damage. Other fluids like coolant help control engine temperature and protect it against overheating. Power steering fluid allows the power steering to work effectively, reducing the effort required to turn the steering wheel. Aside from fuel, the most important fluids in your Buick are engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, coolant, and differential fluid. Each fluid has a pre-determined lifespan to ensure maximum efficiency and safety. Our technicians can easily check any of the fluids and replace them when necessary. We also replace the filters for fluids that require them, like engine oil and transmission fluid. Tire Maintenance It's a fact that your tires will eventually wear out. They gradually abrade over time due to friction with the surface. In addition, tires lose flexibility as the rubber ages, and this will result in cracks and leaks. Tire balancing and alignment issues can develop over time, increasing tire wear even further. Fortunately, tire wear can be reduced through regular maintenance. Tire balancing and wheel alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. Our technicians will also examine your tires for signs of wear or damage and repair them if possible. Your tires usually need replacement every six years, but this time can be increased or decreased depending on their condition. Battery Replacement The average lifespan of a battery is three to five years before it wears out and fails. Battery capacity naturally degrades over time as the battery chemicals break down. Extreme heat or cold, electrical system issues, and other problems can reduce battery life even further. We recommend regular battery checks, starting from your battery's third year. We connect your battery to our computerized battery tester. The tester subjects your battery to numerous strength tests to determine any weakness or identify a major capacity drop. If your battery is healthy, we recommend retesting in a year. If your battery is failing, we'll replace it for you. The full checklist for your Buick's services is listed in your car manual. If you'd like to know more about your services or to book a service, contact us today at Ed Martin Buick GMC in Carmel, IN.
