Although GM vehicles – like the popular 2024 GMC Yukon – are built with safety in mind, accidents unfortunately still happen. Collision repair doesn’t mean just repairing damage caused by impact with another car. This process covers any repair of any damage caused by accident. As your GMC dealer in Tampa, FL, we can repair any type of damage to your car. Most drivers aren’t familiar with the process, so we’d like to tell you more about how we can perform a quality repair for you.

How Your GMC Dealer Produces a Quality Collision Repair for You

Check-In

Depending on the damage, your car will be driven or towed into our repair center. As soon as it arrives, one of our GM-trained technicians will begin a full inspection of the damage. Our technicians are experts at damage assessment and repair.

While our technician is producing a damage report on your GMC, we’ll help you with the check-in process and update any of your details. If your insurance is arranging the repair, we’ll ask for their details so we can liaise with them on the repairs. When check-in is complete, we can help you arrange a hire car or offer you a shuttle service to your home or office.

Shocks and struts are essential components of your GMC’s suspension system and work with your tires to absorb any irregularities you may experience while on the road. Ensuring that these two parts are in good working condition will keep your drive on the road smooth and controlled. When it’s time to get your shock and strut service, visit your local GMC dealer for replacement.

The Importance of Shocks and Struts

Shocks act as a damper for the springs in the suspension system and help prevent your car from bouncing, keeping it straight, stable, and all four wheels on the road. Struts are shock absorbers and hold the springs on your vehicle. They also support the weight of the vehicle and are vital for steering and keeping your car in alignment.

These two components work with one another to keep your vehicle stable and your drive comfortable. When they start to go bad, getting them replaced as soon as possible will ensure that your suspension system is working properly and your drive remains smooth and steady.

Your Buick’s brakes are arguably its most critical safety system but maybe also the easiest to take for granted. They’re what bring your vehicle to a safe and controlled stop over and over again, whether it’s a gentle halt at a red light or an emergency maneuver. Your brakes experience wear and tear with use, though, so keep them in good shape with regular brake service at your Buick GMC dealer.

Getting Brake Service From Your Buick GMC Dealer

Neglecting this service not only compromises your safety but can also lead to more costly repairs down the line. Because your brakes are your first line of defense in avoiding accidents, regular inspections and maintenance help ensure optimal stopping power when you need it most. 

If you’re just doing your normal commute, with gentle and expected braking, you might not think those worn brake pads and other failing components are all that serious. But if you ever really need them, they can fail, and the constant use under less than optimal conditions can cause damage to rotors and other expensive parts.

Proactive service saves you money, as well, because it identifies these issues early on and allows you to intervene before things get too expensive. And, properly serviced brakes also contribute to a smoother and more responsive driving experience: and just knowing your Buick’s brakes are in great shape lets you drive with confidence.
