Start Thinking About Your First Major Recommended Service

When you first got behind the wheel of your new vehicle from Darrell Waltrip Buick GMC a few months ago, we ensured it was in immaculate condition from bumper to bumper. However, as you add miles to the odometer, some parts will naturally wear, and some fluids will need to be changed. Properly scheduled preventative maintenance helps keep your vehicle in like-new condition, and you may be approaching the first major recommended service.

First, take a look at your owner's manual. You'll find the recommendation for the first major service. Of course, you have oil changes usually every 5,000 miles, as well as regular tire rotations and balances, but your owner's manual may also recommend a major service somewhere around the 10,000 to 15,000 mile mark, which for most drivers happens after about 12 months.

Older cars will typically have more wear than newer ones, so this first major service will be pretty simple. Our certified service technicians will visually inspect your vehicle inside and out. With advanced training and experience, they know exactly what common issues to look for and where to find them. Since these parts will still be relatively new, our technicians will mostly be on the lookout for road damage or anything else out of the ordinary. Of course, we will complete any other checks and changes that need to happen, like tires, oil, filters, and other minor parts that see normal wear throughout the life of a vehicle.

Also, you should fee free to take this opportunity to communicate with our service team about any other questions or concerns you may have. We're here to help you get the most our of your vehicle, so we want to know what you think and how we can help. The factory-certified service technicians at Darrell Waltrip Buick GMC are here and ready when you are, so schedule your service online when you're getting close.
