Rick Weaver Buick GMC often suggests visiting the dealership for GMC service. After all, cars are far more complex than they used to be, and we want to ensure that you and your vehicle get the best. However, there are some essential service tasks you can and should take care of at home between appointments.
At-Home Vehicle Service Tasks
While some service tasks are best left up to the professionals, there are a few simple maintenance tasks that you can DIY to save time and money, including some of the following.
Check Your Oil
Checking your oil can alert you when it’s time for a change (if it’s dark, come in for an oil change). If it’s chronically low, that can signal an oil leak or that your engine is burning oil.
Replace Wiper Blades and Fluid
Our windshield wipers keep us safe by maximizing visibility. When the blades no longer clear away rain or debris effectively, it may be time for a new set. Keep windshield washer fluid topped off, too, switching to a cold-weather formulation in the winter.
Keep It Clean
You’ll want to keep your vehicle clean for more than just cosmetic purposes. Over time, the road’s dirt and debris can cause the paint and underlying metal to corrode. By washing your vehicle regularly, you can help to keep it in the best possible shape for as long as possible.
Fill Your Tires
Did you know that properly inflating your tires can boost fuel economy by more than 3%? It’s a good idea to check your tire pressure at least every 30 days or before taking a big trip, to ensure they’re correctly inflating and working right. Taking care of simple vehicle service tasks at home can help you save money and protect your vehicle long-term. And for those service tasks requiring little expertise, Rick Weaver Buick GMC has you covered. Order GMC parts and schedule expert Buick and GMC service at our dealership today.
