Your GMC Terrain works hard to keep you moving safely each day. To continue running like new, your SUV requires regular maintenance and replacements. Some key parts that will need attention are your brakes. At Peruzzi Buick GMC, our certified team will handle any and all services required, including brake repair and maintenance. Stop by our location to meet our GMC dealers in Fairless Hills today. About Brakes In order to stop your SUV, your brakes need to release kinetic energy and are able to do so through friction, which converts it into heat. When you press the brake pedal, a piston is pushed into a cylinder that squirts hydraulic fluid out through a pipe, which feeds into wider cylinders along the car’s brakes. The brakes on your GMC Terrain are composed of four main components - brake pads, rotors, brake lines, and fluid. After about 50,000 miles, you may begin to hear a squealing or grinding noise when you apply the brakes. This means that your brake pads need to be replaced. Other indicators include your pads visibly looking a quarter-inch thick, your pedal vibrating, or an indicator light illuminating.

When you find yourself in the market for a vehicle, it is likely that new models are top of mind. While our exciting new Buick cars and GMC SUVs are nothing short of amazing, they don’t always fit into typical budgets. That’s why our dealers at Peruzzi Buick GMC recommend browsing our used models. Advantages of Used Models Saving money is the biggest perk of buying a used car. Since they aren’t usually the newest models, the sticker price will be lower. Furthermore, in the first month of new car ownership, your vehicle can lose more than 10 percent of value. When you opt for a used model, you dodge that kind of rapid depreciation. In most states, the cost of your annual registration fees is based off your car’s value and age. If your new-to-you car is a couple of years old, you’ll save money upfront. Finally, if you love certain features on new cars, you may enjoy them for less on last year’s model.
