Whether it is conquering snowy peaks or winding, rocky mountain trails, this SUV is prepared to take on any challenge that is thrown its way. more Electric Performance The HUMMER EV features two motors which crank out 570 horsepower and a whopping 7,400 lb-ft of torque.

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.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​When driving, you need to know that your brakes will work instantly if you need them. As time goes by, brake components will wear out or become damaged, and your brakes will become less responsive. If you're close to Carmel, IN, we can quickly and efficiently repair any brake problem. We'd like you to know some signs you need to visit us for a brake repair. more Soft Brake Pedal Your braking system requires force and pressure to bring your wheels to a stop. The brake fluid in the system is highly pressurized and provides the essential hydraulic pressure that pushes the calipers against the rotors to generate the friction necessary to stop your vehicle. You can feel the pressure in the system as it supplies increased resistance the harder you press down on the brake pedal. A soft brake pedal is a condition where you feel little resistance when you step on the pedal. This is a dangerous situation, as the lack of resistance means your brakes won't stop your vehicle as quickly as you may need to. Low resistance could be caused by a brake fluid leak or a blockage in the brake hoses. We'll investigate and fix the problem. Vibrations When You Brake If you feel strange vibrations when you hit the brakes, you could have a damaged brake rotor could be damaged. The rotors are flat metal disks positioned behind the wheels. They have smooth surfaces, which makes it easier for the calipers to grab and push against them to generate the friction that stops the wheels from moving. The friction generated between the pads and the rotors generates intense heat. The heat can cause some of the pad's adhesive to liquefy and spread across the rotor surface. The adhesive will swiftly dry on the rotor and create an uneven surface. When a caliper grabs the uneven surface, it will generate vibrations you'll feel through the pedal. We'll clean or resurface the affected rotors and the vibrations will disappear. Pulling to One Side When you hit the brakes, all four calipers grip the rotors simultaneously to stop your vehicle. If you feel your car pull to one side, you probably have a damaged caliper. If a caliper doesn't correctly engage, its rotor will continue to turn, and your car will pull toward the side of the working caliper. A caliper could fail due to a blockage in the hose carrying brake fluid to it, or it might have rusted. We'll repair the affected caliper, and your brakes will work correctly again. If you have a brake problem, contact our service department today at Ed Martin Buick GMC in Carmel, IN.

Both Sierra HD engines are paired with an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission for flawless shifting. Towing Capabilities The Sierra 2500 and 3500 are both excellent choices for drivers with heavy-duty towing needs. On the 2500 HD, the Duramax Turbo-Diesel Engine offers a maximum towing capacity of 21,870 pounds. On the 3500, this engine provides a maximum towing capacity of 36,000 pounds. Pickups in the Sierra HD lineup come with a GMC trailering package that includes a trailer hitch, receiver hitch, hitch platform, connectors, and electrical harness. With the Hitch Guidance feature, you can monitor your hitch and trailer on an in-cabin display throughout the entire towing process, from attachment to arrival. Exterior Features Standard exterior features on the Sierra HD include a CornerStep rear bumper, twelve cargo tie-downs, and cab-mounted cargo area lamps. The 2500 comes with 17-inch silver wheels and all-season tires, while the 3500 comes with 18-inch silver wheels and all-terrain tires.

Even GMC components and systems will wear out as time passes due to old age. If this happens, it can cause numerous issues and potentially make your vehicle unsafe to drive. As your GMC dealership, we provide regular maintenance that can prevent these problems from happening. We'd like you to know a few signs you need to visit our service department for a repair. more Pulling to One Side When you hit the brakes, the calipers simultaneously clamp against the spinning wheel rotors. Brake pads inside the calipers produce friction against the rotors, slowing and stopping the wheels. If you apply the brakes and your vehicle turns toward one side and continues moving, you have a brake problem. This issue is due to a caliper failure, and the affected wheel continues to move until the calipers on the other three wheels stop it. The two main causes of this problem are a rusted or damaged caliper or a blockage in the brake hose connected to the affected caliper. If brake fluid can't reach the caliper, the caliper won't work. A rusted caliper won't move or close, so it can't stop its wheel. Our technicians will investigate and fix the problem. Random Electrical Problems Most of your GMC's systems depend on electricity produced by the alternator. Electricity can be fickle, and a minor issue could affect a system temporarily and then cease and never reappear, like the sunroof suddenly stopping, then resuming movement and closing. If you experience frequent seemingly random electrical issues, you could have an alternator problem. The alternator will gradually slow down due to age and worn parts. When this happens, the electricity supply will drop. Electricity production continues to fall until the alternator can't supply power to all the vehicle systems. When this happens, electrical issues will appear as the limited available electricity is shifted from system to system depending on demand. We'll test your alternator and repair or replace it, and the electrical issues will stop. Damaged Radiator Cap The radiator cap controls the cooling system's pressure. Coolant moves through your engine at high speed and absorbs heat. The heat is then transported to the radiator, where it's removed by heat exchange. The absorbed heat and fast-moving coolant raise the pressure inside the cooling system, and if it rises too high, the radiator cap opens to release excess pressure and then closes. The cap is securely screwed into the radiator and has seals that ensure an air-tight fit. In time, these seals can crack, and coolant will leak. We'll examine the radiator cap and replace it if necessary. These are just some ways we can ensure your vehicle is always in great shape. Contact us today at Ed Martin Buick GMC in Carmel, IN.
