Check Fluid Levels:

• Check and maintain proper fluid levels, including oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, and power steering fluid, according to manufacturer recommendations.

Inspect Tires:

• Regularly check tire pressure and rotate tires for even wear. Inspect tires for uneven wear, damage, or low tread depth. Consider a wheel alignment if needed.

Brake Inspection:

• Inspect brake components, such as pads, rotors, and brake fluid. Replace worn pads and conduct a thorough examination of the brake system for potential issues.

Battery Health:

• Inspect the battery for corrosion or loose connections. Clean terminals and assess the overall condition. Replace an older battery if it no longer performs optimally.

Clean Air Filters:

• Replace or clean both the engine air filter and cabin air filter to promote optimal engine performance and maintain clean air inside the vehicle.

Inspect Belts & Hoses:

• Regularly check belts and hoses for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any components displaying signs of wear to ensure proper vehicle functioning.

Test Lights & Signals:

• Verify the functionality of all exterior and interior lights, including headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and interior lights. Replace any faulty bulbs promptly.

Alignment Check:

• If you experience steering issues or notice your vehicle pulling to one side, consider a wheel alignment for improved handling and extended tire life.

Clean Exterior & Interior:

• Conduct a thorough cleaning of your Buick or GMC, both inside and out, to remove winter debris, salt, and grime. Protect the exterior and detail the interior for a refreshed look.

HVAC System Inspection:

• Check the air conditioning and heating systems to ensure proper functionality. Replace the cabin air filter to enhance air quality inside the vehicle.

Inspect Suspension Components:

• Have the suspension system inspected for signs of wear or damage, addressing any issues promptly to improve ride comfort and handling.
