GMC Maintenance Tips for Winter

December 18th, 2023 by

GMC maintenance is the key to keeping your vehicle as safe and reliable as possible, and Serra Buick GMC Champaign is here to help every step of the way. We make it easy to get the care you need, and we’re sharing top tips for the winter service that makes the difference on every drive.

Battery Service

In temperatures below freezing, the capacity of your battery can drop by as much as 50%. That means you may struggle to turn your vehicle over, and to run essential safety systems and programs. Schedule a battery inspection before the cold weather hits, so you know if the battery needs to be replaced for safe winter driving.

Hose and Belt Inspection

Your vehicle relies on a series of hoses and belts to run properly, but those hoses and belts are made with materials that are prone to cracking or damage in the cold of winter. You’ll want to schedule a hose and belt inspection early on, to help prevent the spread of damage and any leaks or other complications that might develop.

Tire Service

If you decide to swap out your tires for winter tires, now is the time. If you want to keep your all-season tires, it’s a good idea to get them serviced at the start of winter. Our expert team will make sure there is enough tread and pressure for maximum driver control, and we’ll check for damage or leaks to the surface of the tire.
