Expert Oil Change Services at Your GMC Dealership

An oil change is one of the most crucial maintenance services your GMC needs. At your GMC dealer, the certified technicians offer expert oil replacement services, including a complimentary multi-point vehicle inspection to keep your truck or SUV reliable and fuel-efficient and extend the life of your engine.

When it comes to your GMC, you want the best, top-quality services from the professionals at an authorized GMC dealer who know your truck or SUV inside and out. That’s why it’s crucial to count on our team of GMC-trained and certified technicians for an oil replacement at least twice a year or when you get the “Change Engine Oil Soon” message from your GMC’s Oil Life Monitoring System.

When our technicians perform an oil change, they use only GM-approved synthetic oil and conduct a thorough, complimentary multi-point vehicle inspection to ensure it’s operating at peak performance. With our expert oil replacement services, you can rest assured that your vehicle will receive the top-quality maintenance and care it deserves.

Using the right oil for your engine is paramount to ensure maximum protection. Your vehicle’s oil lubricates the engine to minimize friction, heat, and wear, ensuring the components operate smoothly. However, the oil can get contaminated and deteriorate with usage and time, leading to insufficient lubrication, increased friction, and high fuel consumption. Synthetic oil is widely regarded as the superior choice.

It has a more uniform molecular structure, which doesn’t break down as quickly, offering increased engine lubrication, reducing friction, and preventing wear. Synthetic oil has a longer life than conventional oil and can withstand the high temperatures generated in your vehicle’s engine. Due to its excellent high-temperature protection, your vehicle may not require an oil change as often, extending the intervals between oil replacements.

Changing your vehicle’s oil filter at the intervals recommended by GM or when you receive an alert from the Oil Life Monitoring System is vital to prevent engine damage and maintain proper engine performance. As part of our synthetic oil replacement service, our technicians also replace your vehicle’s oil filter.

The oil filter removes harmful contaminants from the oil that can otherwise cause severe engine damage. Replacing the old filter with a new one will keep the oil clean longer and keep dirt and debris away from the engine.

When you schedule an oil change at our GMC dealer, our certified technicians also perform a comprehensive Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection. This inspection helps evaluate the overall condition of your vehicle’s critical systems and components, enabling our technicians to detect problems before they escalate, cause severe damage, and costly repairs. We offer the following inspection checks at no extra cost to you:

The oil in your vehicle is vital to keep the moving components well-lubricated and running smoothly. Our technicians will check the remaining oil life percentage if you drive a newer GMC model with an Oil Life Monitoring System. The check will ascertain whether your vehicle requires an oil replacement.

The fluids in your vehicle lubricate and cool the different mechanical components. Our technicians will check all your vehicle’s fluids to ensure they are all at the recommended levels. They will also look at the color and consistency of the fluids to see if they need to be replaced.

When you apply the brakes, multiple components work in unison to slow down your vehicle. These include rotors, brake pads, brake lines, and the brake master cylinder, all of which must function correctly. To keep you safe behind the wheel, our technicians thoroughly inspect your vehicle’s brake system, checking the lines, hoses, and parking brake. They also measure the brake pads to determine their thickness and whether they need to be replaced.

The lifespan of car batteries is typically between three and five years. Therefore, it’s crucial to have your battery inspected and tested regularly, particularly if it’s over three years old. This will help prevent unexpected breakdowns and avoid you being stranded on the roadside.

Our technicians will visually inspect your battery cables and connections to ensure everything functions correctly. Additionally, they will perform a battery test to determine the voltage level of the battery.

Tire Inspection

During a multi-point vehicle inspection, all your vehicle’s vital systems and components will undergo a thorough examination. The technician will also check for leaks.

Your wiper blades must clear your windscreen effectively. The wipers shouldn’t leave streaks, make high-pitched sounds, or skip across the windshield. If the wiper frames or blades are worn or damaged, and the glass is chipped or cracked, it will hinder your visibility.

Our technicians will thoroughly examine your front and rear wiper blades to check that they work properly and inspect your window glass for damage to ensure you have the visibility you need in inclement weather conditions.
