​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​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.

The new 2025 Buick Encore Envista embodies the versatility, fuel efficiency, comfort, and cabin space SUV fans always look for in their next ride. We're thrilled to offer you a sneak peek at some of the best features of the Envista so you can get a head start taking yours home with you. more Exterior The 2025 Envista sits on the road on 17-inch painted aluminum wheels wrapped in all-season tires.

Interior The 11-inch HD touchscreen is the cabin's focal point, and you can access Bluetooth, voice command, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay from this screen.

This makes it easier to control the ambiance of your cabin and hear your music clearly through the six-speaker premium audio system. Buick Driver Confidence Automatic Emergency Braking Using a front-facing camera, this program watches the preceding vehicle and warns you as soon as abrupt changes occur on the road ahead. The system is capable of applying the brakes on its own and can also provide you with extra braking power. Following Distance Indicator This system helps drivers understand safe following distances by measuring the gap between the Envista and the vehicle ahead and displaying it on the driver information center. The system uses seconds as a unit of measurement, so you can maintain a safe following distance of two or three seconds. Forward Collision Alert If you're following the preceding vehicle too closely, Forward Collision Alert will provide you with an audio/visual tailgating alert. Using front-end camera technology, this system can detect potential collisions before they occur and give you enough time to react. Front Pedestrian Braking This program is similar to Forward Collision Alert, but the Front Pedestrian Braking sensors are designed to detect smaller collision objects like cyclists and people on foot. The system will warn you of collision objects crossing your Buick's path and can apply the brakes autonomously. Lane Keep Assist With Lane Departure Warning This program is designed to keep you in your intended lane without drifting over the ​painted lines. ​Lane Departure Warning will alert you when ​you start to drift, and Lane Keep Assist can ​briefly take control of the steering wheel to get you back on track.
