Jack Frost has made his presence known in Northwest Arkansas. With the new year comes new winter weather. Everyone from Arkansas knows how wild winter weather can be. One day, it’s sunny, summer-like weather, and the next day there’s a blizzard. Crain Buick GMC in Springdale wants to make sure your Buick is ready for that winter weather. Because even meteorologists can’t predict the weather, it’s important to keep your Buick weatherized all year long. Maybe you drive an Encore GX, Envision, or Envista? Make sure to keep your routine maintenance up to date because you never know when extreme weather will hit. Here’s some tips to keep your Buick winterized until Spring. The first thing you’ll need to check are those four wheels that get you everywhere. They have a lot of weight on their back, literally. They hold you up and keep you safe on the road and need some TLC too. One thing you might notice on a cold morning is that your tire pressure is low. When this happens due to the cold temps, you’ll need to make sure you have an air pressure gauge and check your vehicle settings or manual for recommended tire pressure levels. Most tires should be around 30 to 35 PSI, but if you are having trouble, just stop by, and we can help air up your tires for you. The next thing you’ll need to check on your tires, besides the pressure, is the tread depth. If you’re driving on tires with thin walls, you’re more likely to get a flat or have issues, especially if you’re driving on ice or snow. All-season tires are a great option. If you aren’t sure of your tread, let us know, and we can test your tread and provide you with the best tires for your Buick. Winter is Coming: Schedule Service, Maintenance or Auto Repair Your Auto Repair, Maintenance or Service at Crain Buick GMC  of Springdale at 6372 West Sunset Avenue Besides your tires, you also need to make sure your battery is still operating at full power to keep your Buick running all winter long. Batteries don’t like cold weather either, so if your battery is older, it won’t keep a charge as long or might have trouble starting. If you aren’t sure about your battery’s age, we can run a test to check your battery’s health. Now that we’ve fixed your tires and your battery, we need to talk about the fluids in your Buick. Your oil, coolant, antifreeze, and windshield fluid are all necessary, especially in the winter months. Make sure your oil change is up to date. If you have old oil, it can cause your engine to work slower, especially in the cold. You can check your oil level regularly and add if necessary. Go ahead and make that oil change appointment now. Other important fluids to maintain are your coolant and antifreeze to make sure you keep your engine properly running during the cold winter months. Bring in your Buick, and we can make sure all of your fluids are at the appropriate level to last you until Spring. Finally, one thing you might not remember to check until you need it is your windshield wiper fluid. If you get stuck in snow or ice while driving, you want to make sure your wipers will be able to clear your windshield so you can see clearly and drive safely. Fill up with all-season fluid that can withstand temps of -20 degrees or use de-icer.

With winter in full swing, the temperatures are also in full swing. Thanks to the unpredictable weather in Northwest Arkansas, there’s no telling what type of road conditions you’ll be driving your GMC in this winter. From snow to sleet to hail to rain, you’ll experience it all this winter. Our job is to make sure your GMC is ready for anything. Since the weather in Arkansas is so scatterbrained, we want to help you be the calm, cool, collected one while driving in those winter conditions.

Crain Buick GMC of Springdale at 6372 West Sunset Avenue is Here to Help Service Your GMC for Winter The best thing we can recommend to get your GMC Sierra 1500 or Terrain road-ready for winter is to plan ahead. Make a plan of action so if you do find yourself stranded, you’ll have the supplies you need until help arrives. Make yourself an emergency kit to store in your GMC all winter long. Most importantly, you’ll need a first aid kit. You’ll also want to have a flashlight in case you end up in the dark somewhere. If it’s dark and also cold, you’re going to want to have extra gloves, a heavy coat, and some blankets packed for warmth. Look at Our Parts & Service Specials at Crain Buick GMC in Springdale Since the weather can be rainy, snowy or icy, it’s a safe bet to keep a rain jacket, cans of de-icer, and an ice-scraper. Your GMC should always have a pair of jumper cables in case your battery goes dead, or you need to help jump someone else. We can never predict when winter weather will hit or you might find yourself with some car trouble. But you can make sure to fully charge your phone before you leave the house, even if just for a short trip to the store. Along with your charged phone, make sure to keep a fast charger in your car. It’s early, and your car is frozen over. Whatever you do, don’t use boiling water to defrost your GMC. You can shatter your windshield. Then your car will be frozen inside and out. If you find yourself without any de-icer on hand, follow this simple recipe to make your own. Take one part water to three parts vinegar, mix together, and use on your windows and windshield. The water and vinegar mixture will help prevent the ice from freezing, making it easier for you to scrape off. It’s also important to take care of the tires on your GMC sport utility vehicle or pickup truck. Check the tread of your tires or schedule an appointment with us today, and we’ll check the condition of your tires. If new ones are needed, we’ll help you select the best ones for your GMC. It’s also a good idea to add a tire pressure gauge and a tire patch kit to your emergency box. While we have you in for your tires, we can go ahead and check the health of your battery to determine how well it keeps a charge. The last thing you want is to be stranded on a cold, dark highway. After we’ve checked your battery, we can also make sure all your fluids and filters have been replaced. Hopefully, these tips have been helpful and provided you with some peace of mind while driving your GMC this winter. Please contact us if you have any questions about winterizing your GMC.

It also produces up to 11,500 lb.-ft of torque. 3. Available Crabwalk This SUV was designed with off-roading in mind. The available Crabwalk feature offers 4-wheel steering. Drivers have the ability to turn the rear wheels in the same direction as the front wheels. When activated and used at low speeds, Crabwalk allows drivers to move diagonally. This makes maneuvering the large SUV in tight trail spaces a lot easier. 4. Available Super Cruise This driver assistance technology makes it possible for drivers to take their hands off the wheel. This hands-free driving technology can be used on compatible roads. There are 400,000 miles of compatible roadways in the United States and Canada. The feature requires a subscription. Fortunately, the new EV Hummer comes with a 3-year subscription to this service included. 5.

The 2023 GMC Yukon XL has quickly confirmed itself as among the most sought-after full-sized SUVs on the road. One of the main reasons is the many impressive features the vehicle can offer, in addition to its outstanding performance. Below are six of the most talked about attributes commented on by drivers. 6 Impressive Features of the 2023 GMC Yukon XL Cargo Space If cargo space is essential for your everyday needs or occasional requirements, then the Yukon XL is the perfect vehicle. Its cavernous yet flexible interior allows you to arrange the seating to provide 144.7 cu ft of room up to the first row of seats. If you need to seat five, you can still get 93.8 cu ft up to the second row and 41.5 cu ft if all the seats are left in position. Third Row Comfort Many full-sized SUVs promote that they can seat eight people, but if you have ever had to lever yourself into the third row, you will know it can be a tight squeeze. Not with the Yukon XL, as you get 36.7 inches of legroom and 38.2 inches of headroom in the back row. Camera Views Visibility is always crucial, and the Yukon XL has you covered with up to 13 different camera views available to the driver.

Super Cruise Control For long highway journeys, select models have one of the best cruise control systems available. The Super Cruise system provides you with fantastic driving assistance not only in the form of speed and distance management but also with hands-free control, even when towing. On compatible roads, Super Cruise even allows automatic lane changing, although not while towing. Trailering System Indeed, there is even more help for pulling a trailer with the Prograde Trailering System. The functions include a hitch guidance view and trailer blind zone alert. You can step this up even more with the enhanced trailering technology package. Highlights of this are the addition of an extra trailer camera and trailering assist guidelines for helping you back up. Rear-Seat Media Touchscreens Keeping everyone happy on a long journey is not always easy. Everybody has individual entertainment preferences. The availability of dual rear-seat touchscreens solves this problem. These high-definition devices have Bluetooth connection for headphones and can stream movies, TV shows, and YouTube or become gaming devices. We have only just started with the incredible features that the vehicle has, but there is so much more to tell you about. The best thing to do is to see it for yourself, with now being a great opportunity to try out the 2023 Yukon XL. So pay us a visit at Crain Buick GMC of Springdale today and book a test drive that fits in with your diary.
