Most GMC drivers know about regular types of maintenance such as oil changes and battery checks, but another task we perform at our service center is wheel alignments. If your GMC SUV is humming along like it first did when you bought the vehicle, you may think it’s acceptable to skip your scheduled GMC wheel alignment service. However, doing so is not recommended by our mechanics. Here are three reasons why. more 1. Wheel Alignment Affects Ride Quality If you’re driving on rough, pothole-filled roads, you likely know the importance of a smooth ride. If you notice that your car is vibrating more than usual when you’re driving, it could be due to a wheel alignment issue. When your tires begin to unevenly wear, which is sometimes due to skipped wheel alignment appointments, your steering wheel may start to vibrate. 2. Wheel Alignment Affects Tire Performance Put simply, a wheel alignment adjusts the angles of your car’s steering and suspension components. When a vehicle is not properly aligned, it negatively affects the camber of the wheels, which in turn affects tire wear. Driving on unevenly worn tires also plays a role in decreased fuel efficiency. 3. Wheel Alignment Affects Steering Improperly aligned wheels can lead to your vehicle’s caster being off, causing steering that isn’t properly centered. Driving with skewed steering is not only frustrating, but it can also lead to safety issues. Schedule your wheel alignment service appointment today at our GMC dealership in Fairless Hills, PA. We look forward to getting your car into top condition.

With the proliferation of electric Buick and GMC models, such as the new GMC Sierra EV, prospective buyers are asking questions about how these fuel-efficient cars work. Many buyers here at Peruzzi Buick GMC are primarily concerned with the service schedule of electric vehicles. Let’s review whether electric vehicles need a GMC oil change. more Why Gasoline Cars Need Oil Changes Before going into whether electric cars require oil changes, we should first explain why oil is necessary in the first place. The engine in a gasoline-powered car contains hundreds of tiny moving parts that need lubrication to properly function. This lubrication comes in the form of motor oil, and fresh oil does a better job of keeping the tiny parts in your engine working properly. As oil ages, it thickens, so after a period of time, you’ll need to change it. Electric Cars and Oil Changes The short answer is that electric cars do not require oil changes. EVs lack the internal combustion engine that powers conventional GMC vehicles. Instead, they are powered by a combination of a battery and electric motors. If you look under the hood of a vehicle like the GMC Sierra EV, you won’t find the same types of valves and pistons that you’ll find in the gasoline-powered GMC Sierra. The lack of oil changes in electric cars is one of the many ways that moving to an EV can help save you money. Of course, electric cars still need to be maintained in other ways at our GMC service center, such as tire maintenance, battery checks, and other routine work as outlined in your owner’s manual. To learn more about how electric cars operate, talk to a mechanic at our GMC service center. If you have a gasoline-powered vehicle, schedule your next oil change appointment today!

Purchasing a car from our certified pre-owned Buick inventory is one way to guarantee that it comes with a CarFax® Vehicle History Report™. Can I Take the Car on a Test Drive?

The engine of your GMC vehicle has hundreds of tiny moving parts that require lubrication from fresh oil in order to work properly. If you neglect to schedule a regular GMC oil change, your car will not run at optimal power and efficiency. The frequency of oil changes depends on a number of different factors, including how often you drive and your specific make and model. Here are three signs that your GMC car needs an oil change. more Your Engine is Making Unusual Noises Motor oil keeps your engine parts lubricated so they can run smoothly and efficiently together. If your oil is old, it likely has lost some of its lubrication properties, which means things are rubbing together when they shouldn’t. This sometimes creates a grinding or knocking sound. In extreme cases, you may even hear your engine roaring. Burning Smell While some smells in your car are normal, others, including a burning smell, are cause for concern. In addition to lubricating your engine parts, motor oil regulates the engine’s temperature. When the oil gets old, it can’t keep your engine cool, and sometimes a burning smell occurs. Schedule a GMC service appointment at our dealership if you notice this. Your Oil Level is Low Visually inspecting your car’s oil is another way to determine if you need an oil change. To check your oil, wait for the engine to cool and pop your hood. Pull the dipstick out of the reservoir. Indicators toward the bottom of the stick will tell you if the oil level is good, low, or high. If you’re noticing any of the above three signs, schedule an oil change at Peruzzi Buick GMC today. Our technicians will have your car in peak shape in no time!
