7 Essential Services Offered by Your GMC Dealer

The legendary power and performance of GMC trucks and SUVs are matched by their longevity. But to keep your GMC running smoothly for as many years as possible, you’ll need to maintain it with routine services. Here are seven vehicle services you won’t want to neglect. For ease of upkeep and peace of mind, you can schedule all essential GMC services at your local GMC dealer.

7 Essential Services Offered by Your GMC Dealer

Oil Changes and Fluid Flushes

Your engine can only operate with fully functioning motor oil, which must be changed twice a year or even more frequently. While the oil lubricates, the coolant keeps the engine’s temperature under control, so you’ll need to check your coolant often and flush it once every two or three years. Likewise, regularly check the condition and levels of your brake fluid, transmission fluid, and differential fluid, refreshing each one when necessary.

Brake Inspections and Repairs

GMC brakes are extremely strong and dependable, but brake pads and rotors steadily wear down and must be replaced. It’s wise to have your brakes professionally inspected twice a year. 

Tire Rotations and Alignments

Tires last far longer and hold better traction when properly maintained. Check the air pressure of your tires monthly, have them rotated biannually, and have any misaligned tires promptly corrected with our specialist alignment machinery.

Air Filter Replacements 

Your cabin’s air is kept fresh and clean by the cabin air filter. The air filter does the same for the engine. Both filters slowly clog up and will usually need to be replaced once a year.

Battery Inspections and Tests

You can expect your truck or SUV’s battery to last from three to five years, after which it will no longer be able to start the engine. Have your battery checked and tested periodically, especially once it reaches three years of age. 

Belt and Hose Examinations

The many belts and hoses throughout your truck or SUV serve crucial functions. If you have all belts and hoses checked twice a year, you’re unlikely to be surprised by a sudden broken belt or cracked hose.

Windshield Wiper Changes

Your wipers will need to be replaced once a year or so, especially if they show signs of wear or leaving smears on your windshield. Also, keep the windshield wiper fluid adequately always topped up.
