When you're driving in low visibility conditions like night or fog, you need to be able to see the road ahead. Driving down a dark road at night without lights is risky and could cause an accident. If you need new headlights, your GMC dealer can fit them. These are a few signs that you have headlight problems. Time for New Headlights? Visit Your GMC Dealer Today! Worn Bulbs One of the most common reasons for headlight failure is worn bulbs. Headlight bulbs, like any other bulb, have a limited life and will eventually fail. Depending on the type of bulbs in your car, they will last from 500 hours to 30,000 hours before they need replacement. This might not sound like a long time, but headlights are only used for a limited time each day. Bulbs that are failing due to age will usually show warning signs like dimming or flickering. If you start seeing signs that your bulbs could be failing, we can quickly and easily fit their replacements. If only one bulb is malfunctioning, we advise replacing both of them. Headlight bulbs are installed in pairs, and if one is failing, the other will fail in a few days. Blown Fuses and Damaged Relays Your headlights have fuses like all the other electrical components in your car. Fuses protect their attached component by automatically blowing to prevent a short or power surge from damaging the component. Your headlight bulbs can fail due to a worn fuse. Our technicians will test your fuses and replace any blown ones. Relays are tiny alternators that turn the low electrical current into a high electrical current. Your GMC has three sets of relays, one for the high beams, the second for the low beams, and the third controls your car's running lights. When you turn on the high beams, for example, your computer sends a message to the high beam relay to switch it on. A failed relay will prevent the lights connected to it from working. We can test and replace a damaged relay. Corroded Sockets Your headlights and their electrical connections are protected against the elements by clear plastic lenses. These lenses prevent water, dirt, and contaminants from damaging bulb sockets or wiring. The lenses, however, can become damaged by grit, or other hard material thrown up from the surface. It only takes a small crack, and rain can leak into the headlight recess. Water can quickly corrode bulb sockets and cause the bulbs to blow. It can also cause electrical shorting in the wiring. Our technicians can replace the damaged parts and install new lenses to fix this problem. If your headlights aren't working correctly, call us right away at Crain Buick GMC of Springdale.

Brake pads are an important part of your braking system. They fit into the brake calipers, and they provide the friction that slows and stops your car. The pads wear out as they work, and they'll need to be replaced in time. As your Buick dealer and GMC dealer, we can fit the replacements for you. These are a few of the signs that your pads need to be changed. Signs You Need New Brake Pads From Your Buick Dealer and GMC Dealer Your Pads Screech Screeching pads is a sign that they've worn down and need to be replaced. The pads are covered with a layer of friction material which increases your braking speed. When you hit the brakes, the friction material is pushed against the smooth surface of the rotors. The reaction between these materials brings your car to a controlled stop. The material covering is 1/2" thick when it's new. It will slowly wear each time you use the brakes. When the pads have worn down and need replacement, you'll hear screeching from each worn pad. The screeching sound is generated by a metal spike in the pad that scratches the metal rotor surface. Pulling to One Side If your car pulls to one side when you use the brakes, it means that the brake on one side doesn't engage. This form of brake failure can be caused by a jammed caliper or a brake fluid problem. It can also be caused by worn pads. As we've seen, the pads generate friction against the wheel rotors to stop your car. If the pad on side of your car has more wear than the others, this pad might engage later than the others. This will cause your car to pull to the opposite side before it straightens out. A stuck caliper on one side can also keep a pad in constant contact with the rotor. This contact will smooth the surface of the pad and make it more difficult for the pad to work correctly. Vibrations When You Brake If you're experiencing vibrations each time you use the brakes, this is a sign that your brakes need to be checked. The most likely cause of the vibrations is damage to the wheel rotors. When you brake, your pads and rotors can heat up. The friction material covering is attached to the pads by a strong adhesive. This adhesive can liquify due to the heat. Liquid adhesive can be spread across the rotor. The adhesive will dry quickly, but it can spread unevenly. The uneven surface of the rotor will cause vibrations when you brake. We can quickly replace your pads, and braking will dramatically improve. Call us today at Crain Buick GMC of Springdale.

You rely on the aircon in your car to keep the air in the cabin cool, dry, and comfortable, but it's easy to take it for granted until it stops working well. With the car AC not working, a warm and humid Arkansas summer's day can quickly become an ordeal, so it's worth staying alert to the signs that it's struggling. Here are some of the ways you can tell that it might be time to schedule an appointment with your GMC dealer and give the AC some TLC. Car AC Not Working? Visit Your GMC Dealer Today Look Keep your eyes open for any water dripping from the dashboard, or water marks on the floor, as these are a sign that the exit pipe is blocked. It can damage your car if left untended, so schedule a service to unclog the system. Smell Problems with your aircon will often manifest as a bad smell in the cabin. Watch out for the following odors: Musty Sometimes mold can grow in the air conditioning, especially if your vehicle is older, and will result in a mildewy smell coming through the vents. If the air filters need changing, this can also lead to the buildup of bacteria and cause a musty smell. As well as making your drive unpleasant, this is bad for your respiratory health, so it's important to get the system cleaned out. Chemical If coolant is leaking somewhere in the system, it can blow a chemical scent into the cabin or sometimes a syrupy sweet odor. Burning Obviously, any burning smell should be investigated immediately, but it might be a problem with the aircon compressor. If it's broken so that the belt can't turn smoothly, it will generate a burning odor, either from the belt or the unit itself. Feel If the air blowing from the vents is warm, or if it starts cool and quickly becomes warm, then your AC unit needs some attention. While it might require in-depth diagnosis, it could be a simple matter of refreshing the coolant levels. It should keep the air dry as well as cool, so if the cabin feels stuffy or muggy, there could be a problem with the humidity regulation. Listen Keep your ears open for a grinding, whistling, whining, or rattling noise coming from the aircon unit, as this is another sign that the unit needs service. Of course, if the air conditioning won't turn on, or turn off, then it will also need attention. Even if it doesn't lead to more expensive problems, it's not worth letting it spoil your driving experience. So if you notice any of these symptoms, contact us at Crain Buick GMC of Springdale so that our trained technicians can locate and solve the issue. Image via Pixabay.com by ninofficialphotopraphy

The transmission in your GMC Terrain, Sierra, or Acadia has many components that work together to move the power from the engine to the wheels. A transmission service from the certified technicians at your GMC dealer will improve your vehicle's performance and save you loads of cash on gas and repairs. 5 Benefits of Getting Routine Transmission Service at Your GMC Dealer 1. Your Vehicle Will Run Smoothly and Last Longer Regular transmission inspections and services ensure that your vehicle's transmission is always perfect. When you take your car for services at the recommended maintenance intervals, the GMC technician will thoroughly inspect every transmission component, check the mountings and the seals, and look for leaks. The components will be well-lubricated, and your car will run smoothly and stays on the road for longer. The transmission fluid will also be checked and topped off or changed if needed. Look in your vehicle's owner's manual for the transmission inspections and transmission fluid replacement intervals, or ask your GMC technician for information. 2. Your Transmission Will Be Protected A transmission replacement is costly, and that is why regular services and transmission fluid replacements are so important. Transmission fluid lubricates the moving components to minimize friction that causes heat and ultimately wears down parts. Over time transmission fluid becomes old and dirty and loses its protective qualities. When the fluid is contaminated, it can't perform the task of lubricating and cooling the moving components, directly affecting your vehicle's engine performance. Changing the transmission fluid reduces friction, ensuring the smooth running of all the parts. 3. Your Gears Will Function Properly When transmission fluid is old and contaminated, it overheats and turns into a thick sludge. The gooey substance prevents the components from moving smoothly, clogs the gears, and causes friction. When the transmission fluid isn't lubricating and cooling the parts, you will struggle to shift gears and even hear awful noises from the damage being done. Changing the transmission fluid at the recommended intervals will ensure that the components are well lubricated, running smoothly, and reduce friction, heat, and wear. 4. You'll Spend Less on Gas When your vehicle's transmission is in good working order and running smoothly, you will save money at the gas pump. All you have to do to save cash on gas is stick to your car's factory-recommended service intervals and ask your GMC technician to perform regular transmission inspections and transmission fluid replacements. If your vehicle's transmission is well-maintained, there will be less strain on components, and the engine will perform at its best. When your engine is running well, your car will use less oil, and you will not spend as much cash on gas. 5. You'll Save Money on Repairs Your transmission has many moving parts, and when one fails or breaks, you will have to pay high repair costs or even fork out a heap of cash on a transmission replacement. When you take your car for regular services, the GMC technician will spot minor problems early on and repair them before more damage occurs, which could lead to expensive repairs or even a transmission replacement. With regular services from a qualified GMC technician at your dealership, your GMC will run at its best, and you will prevent unexpected breakdowns and repairs, saving you heaps of cash. Ask the GMC technician at your dealership to service your vehicle to ensure your transmission is in perfect working condition to save money on gas, reduce wear, and avoid expensive repairs and replacements. Contact Crain Buick GMC of Springdale today for a service and reap a whole lot of great benefits.

In order to keep your Buick well maintained, you'll occasionally need to replace your timing belt and your serpentine belt, the latter of which is also known as the car belt. Your timing belt synchronizes your camshaft and crankshaft, opening and closing valves as your engine runs. Your serpentine belt transfers power to various important engine accessories. Let's take a look at common indicators that you need to visit your local Buick dealer to replace a belt. Do You Need to Replace One of Your Car Belts? Serpentine Belt Trouble Without a fully functioning serpentine belt, your car will rapidly run into all sorts of problems. A serpentine belt weaves and winds between many shafts and pulleys, powering various accessories. Over time, these belts can occasionally loosen, slip off, or snap. Here are four main signs of serpentine belt trouble to look out for. Your Air Con Stops Working The serpentine belt powers the air conditioning compressor, which is vital for the air con to work. So if you find your cabin failing to cool down on a hot summer's day, your serpentine belt may well be the culprit. Your Electronics Falter Your car's battery is charged by the alternator, which in turn is powered by the engine via the serpentine belt. So if your belt slips or cracks, the battery will stop recharging while you're on the road and will swiftly die. If you notice various electronics failing, including your headlamps and engine starter, check your serpentine belt first of all. Your Power Steering Fails If you're driving the ever-popular 2022 Buick Enclave, or any other Buick model, you'll know how silky smooth the steering is. This superior handling is augmented by a very advanced power steering pump, which is kept functioning by the serpentine belt. So if your steering ever suddenly becomes heavier, your belt may have stopped doing its job. Your Engine's Overheating The coolant system of your Buick plays a vital role in keeping your engine from overheating. Coolant is pushed around the engine by the water pump, which is powered by the serpentine belt. So if you ever notice signs of overheating, such as ticking noises, a burning smell, or your temperature gauge shooting up, then your serpentine belt might be to blame. Timing Belt Problems Your timing belt plays the more limited but equally important role of ensuring the engine valves are opening and closing in harmony. Any timing belt fault will be immediately noticeable as your engine starts to malfunction. You might find your engine failing to start, or misfiring frequently when it does. You'll hear strange ticking noises and you might even find oil leaking from under your hood. You might also notice smoke pouring from your exhaust. If you notice any of these problems, have your timing belt checked by a trusted technician right away. How a Buick Dealer Inspects Your Belts A technician will check both belts carefully, looking for any sign of cracks or fraying along the edges. They'll use a belt wear gauge to measure the depth of the V-grooves that keep the belts gripping the pulleys. In the case of the timing belt, they'll also check the nuts and bolts that hold it in place, which can occasionally come loose over time. Have your serpentine and timing belt examined by experienced professionals today at Crain Buick GMC. We're the region's number one Buick GMC dealership, and we're dedicated to providing all of our customers with nothing short of outstanding service, whatever your vehicle needs may be.

To stay safe on the road, few maintenance procedures matter more than regular brake service. As rare as it is, brake failure still causes 300,000 road accidents per year in the US. Most of these accidents are due to incautious drivers allowing their braking systems to deteriorate over time. To keep your brakes fresh and functional, let's take a look at how often to visit your local Buick or GMC dealer for a brake inspection. How Often Should You Get Brake Service for Your Buick or GMC? It Depends on Your Driving Conditions Most drivers have their brakes inspected every time they take their vehicle in for an oil change or tire rotation. This kind of twice-a-year schedule is ideal as it's easy to stick to. Once a year is also considered a safe routine to follow for the majority of drivers. But if you're usually driving in conditions that require excessive braking, consider having your brakes inspected more frequently. One example of excessive-braking conditions is daily commuting through heavy traffic that has your foot constantly pressing the pedal. This will cause your brake pads to wear down far more rapidly, and it might even lead to occasional overheating and rotor damage. Mountainous roads with long downhill stretches also put a lot of strain on your brakes, as do winding hilly roads with many sharp turns. Do You Have a Brake-Heavy Driving Style? Even the driving style of individual drivers makes a difference in how quickly their brakes wear down. If you find yourself hard braking often, then your brake pads and rotors will feel the pressure. One way to adopt a more brake-friendly habit is to take your foot off the gas and gently decelerate long in advance of traffic lights and other stops, so you barely need the brake pedal at all when you reach the stop. Ask Your GMC Dealer for Guidance It's interesting how much an experienced technician can tell about your driving style from their regular inspections of your car. A local technician will also know the surrounding roads well and will be able to tell you if it's an environment that promotes heavy braking or not. Keep an Eye Out for Brake Problems Never ignore signs of brake trouble. If you notice any of the following indicators of worn down or faulty brakes, have a professional take a look as soon as possible. High-Pitched Squealing Sounds Your brake pads wear down a little every time you slow your car. When the top frictional layer of a pad has worn down too much, it will begin to emit a high-pitched squealing sound whenever you stop. This is a surefire sign the pad needs replacing. Strange Vibrations If you feel odd vibrations when you press on the pedal, one of your rotors might be warped or damaged. You'll have to get it resurfaced or replaced as soon as possible. Sluggish Braking The most disconcerting indication of failing brakes is when you press the pedal and your car doesn't stop as rapidly as it should. This is known as brake fade, which might point to temporary overheating or something more serious. If you ever experience brake fade, pull over and allow your brakes to cool down. If the problem persists, have a trusted technician take a look. To have your brakes inspected and repaired by experienced professionals, visit Crain Buick GMC of Springdale.
