Are Tune-Ups Obsolete?
GMC vehicles have seen their share of changes over the years. One of the biggest is that you no longer need to visit our GMC dealership near Paramus to give your new GMC vehicle a tune-up. However, that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook for maintenance.
What is a Tune-Up?
Tune-ups were performed on older cars to keep their ignition system in tune. However, many of the parts found in older vehicles — a carburetor, points, and other similar components — have been replaced by computers and fuel injection. While spark plugs will still need eventual replacement, the tune-up has gone the way of the dinosaur and dollar-a-gallon gas.
What Does Modern Maintenance Consist Of?
There’s still plenty to keep the technicians at our GMC service center busy. There is a multitude of maintenance tasks that your vehicle requires.
· Engine oil and filter replacement
· Tire inspection and rotation
· Fluid top-off or replacement (coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, etc.)
· Multi-point inspection
Mind you, nobody’s going to look at you funny if you tell the technicians at McGuire Buick GMC that you need a tune-up. We’re just glad you’re here and taking good care of your car. We’ll save the arguments over terminology for the important stuff, like Taylor Ham versus pork roll.
What Happens if My Vehicle has Issues Between Maintenance Visits?
Even an SUV as good as the GMC Terrain still runs into problems now and then. If this happens, visit us for advanced diagnostics and vehicle care that get you back on the road fast. Simply schedule an appointment online or drop by our GMC service center today.
