Vehicle Maintenance Checklist

Taking care of your Buick vehicle and ensuring it’s in great condition may be a lot easier than you think. All you have to do is give it the right Buick service at the right times. Here are the most important service tasks for your car.

Oil Changes

There’s a good chance that ever since you started driving, you were taught about the importance of oil changes. There’s a reason for this.

If you want your engine to stay healthy and perform as it should, it needs clean oil. Over time, oil gets thick and dirty, so it not only hurts engine performance, it also is forced to work harder, which reduces gas mileage.

The oil in your Buick Encore should be changed about every six months, regardless of the number of miles you drive.

Tire Rotations

Tires need to be rotated for a couple of reasons. First, because this helps them wear down more evenly, it means that they will offer you enhanced performance and safety. This also lets them last a lot longer.

A new set of tires may last you about 50,000 miles, but if you don’t rotate them, that may be closer to 20,000 miles. You should plan to have your tires rotated two times per year.

Battery Test

Did you know that the average car battery only lasts between three and five years? This is why drivers should always have an idea of the amount of life their battery has left.

Having it tested yearly will let you know about its charge and whether or not it may be time to have it replaced.

Brake Inspection

When you’re driving, few systems in your car are as important as your brakes, which is why having a good idea about their health is vital.

Things like pads and shoes – and even rotors – wear out over time and need to be replaced. This is why having the braking system in your Buick Envision inspected every year is a smart idea.
