Replacing Consumable Parts

“Consumable” GM parts are the ones requiring the most frequent replacement. They’re designed to be replaced as they wear, and your car has several of them. Routine checkups ensure these consumable parts are replaced on schedule:

Motor Oil

Changing your oil based on the manufacturer’s guidelines is one of the simplest ways to keep the components of your engine running smoothly. Dirty oil can spread debris throughout the engine’s system and prevent it from cooling properly.

Schedule an oil change with our GMC Service Team today and get an included four-tire rotation and Multi-Point Inspection.

Tires

Tires lose traction with every passing mile. To ensure that you get the best traction, stopping power, and fuel economy that your GMC vehicle is capable of, make sure your tires are changed on schedule and rotated in-between (we suggest scheduling tire rotations in tandem with your oil changes).

Filters

The oil filter, air filter, and cabin filter of your car need regular replacement to allow for proper airflow and ventilation.

Brake Pads and Rotors

Brake pads must be replaced semi-regularly to maintain powertrain control and maximum stopping distance. Waiting to replace these auto parts can lead to the more costly replacement of rotors down the line.

Belts and Hoses

Over time, belts and hoses can develop cracks. When that happens, it’s time for a replacement to avoid slipping or snapping. Let the experts at Rick Weaver Buick GMC complete a thorough inspection during your next appointment.
