Purchasing an extended warranty is a great way to protect your vehicle once the factory warranty expires. You should ask your GMC or Buick dealer about your options when shopping for a used vehicle or getting your car serviced. When Does the Buick and GMC Factory Warranty Expire? The factory warranty that comes with new GMC and Buick vehicles lasts three years or 36,000 miles. Your brand-new vehicle also comes with a five-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Extended Warranty Options From Buick and GMC Once your factory warranty expires, your vehicle becomes eligible for a protection plan or service contract from the manufacturer. Buick and GMC offer options that last up to eight years or 100,000 miles, depending on your needs and budget. There are three levels of service: Powertrain Silver Platinum Powertrain Coverage A Powertrain protection plan is the most affordable option. It covers faulty engine components, transmission, drive axles, and the electric motor of your hybrid or EV. Silver Protection Plan If you opt for the Silver tier, you'll get coverage for the powertrain components mentioned above, as well as protection for your vehicle's suspension, electrical systems, steering, and brakes. Platinum Warranty A Platinum plan is the most comprehensive option. Besides covering everything included under the Silver plan, you'll get coverage for your car's navigation, audio, and infotainment systems. Benefits Overview The primary purpose of these protection plans is to cover repairs. However, you'll get additional perks and benefits, including: A transferrable warranty Roadside assistance Car rental coverage Trip interruption coverage Additional Plans Your GMC or Buick Dealer Offers Tire and Wheel Protection Regardless of the service contract tier you choose, you won't get coverage for your vehicle's tires and wheels. If you want to protect these components, your best option is to purchase a tire and wheel protection plan. GMC and Buick offer plans that last from one to seven years with no mileage limits. These plans cover repairs and tire replacements. Pre-Paid Maintenance A pre-paid maintenance plan allows you to pay in advance for oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-point vehicle inspections over the next three, five, or six years. It's a great way to save money on maintenance since prices for these services might go up in the future. Gap Coverage In the event of a total loss, your auto insurance provider might not cover the full amount you owe on your auto loan. It's where gap coverage comes in and makes up for the difference not covered by your insurer. If your factory warranty is about to expire, now is the perfect time to compare service contracts from Buick and GMC and choose an option that makes sense for your needs. Contact us at Crain Buick GMC in Conway, AR. We can answer all your questions about extended warranties and help you pick the right plan.

Let's face it: it's a tough economy out there, and if you're car shopping, you're probably thinking about which vehicles have the best fuel efficiency. A car that can save you on gas expenses can be a real lifesaver, but like most people, you're probably also looking for something roomy, safe, reliable, and functional. Thankfully, your local Buick dealer is a great place to start your search. Buick and GMC Vehicles with the Best Fuel Efficiency There a quite a few Buick and GMC vehicles that have excellent gas mileage. Both the 2018 and the 2020 Buick Encore are great choices if you're looking for an SUV. The Buick Encore GX and the 2022 GMC Terrain have a fuel economy of about 30 miles per gallon and are excellent choices if you're looking for a combination of excellent fuel economy, utility, space, and reliability. The Buick Encore is overall the best vehicle if you're looking for something with great gas mileage, and the 2023 Buick Encore GX FWD is your best bet if you're on the hunt for something brand new. It's a subcompact crossover SUV gets about 29 mpg in the city, and 32 mpg on the highway. It is powered by a turbocharged, 137-horsepower three-cylinder engine, so it has a lot of pep when you're ready to get out onto the open road. Your Trusted Buick Dealer Can Help You Determine MPG Now that you know which models to look for, it's important to understand what to note once you begin your search. You'll see a number for city gas mileage and one for highway, and each number will be a bit different. Vehicles typically get better gas mileage on the highway, so if that's where you drive most of the time, keep that number in mind while you compare numbers and ask your salesperson questions. You'll notice a larger number in bold that states the combined mpg; this is the most prominent number you'll notice when you look up the vehicle's gas mileage information. That's an average of city and highway mileage, which is what most people use to determine their usage. Keep this in mind if you do a lot of commuting while running errands in the city. Used cars are a great option, but keep in mind that car companies continually improve efficiency. If you are looking for something practical, zippy and great on gas with plenty of room, a GMC or Buick will never let you down and will be reliable for years to come. When you're ready to save on gas and get the best value, contact us at Crain Team Conway, and we'll help you make an informed decision.

The GMC Sierra 3500 is basically what happens when someone takes a proven design for a truck, and then makes a big heavy version of it, and then says, "Hey, let's add some more truck to this." Everywhere you look on the 3500, it's been engineered to maximize capability. Under the Hood of the GMC Sierra 3500 There's no doubt that the 3500 is built for big jobs, so the base engine is a massive 6.6L v8, which is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. This gas-powered setup provides 401hp and is augmented with features like a heavy-duty air filter, an external engine oil cooler, and an external auxiliary transmission oil cooler, because all of that power is intended to be heavily used. To take advantage of the Sierra's maximum hauling and towing ability, you can upgrade the powertrain to use a Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel, which bumps the horsepower to 445 and can produce up to 910 lb-ft of torque. The diesel version of the v8 gets a 10-speed Allison automatic transmission with auto grade braking and a tow/haul mode to make life easier when you're moving a heavy load. Inside the Cab It probably goes without saying, but the cab offers plenty of space. Beyond just being roomy, the Sierra's interior comes with a wealth of options to choose from to get things setup just how you prefer. Adapt to the weather, for example, with a power sunroof for nice days, and heated seats and steering wheel for when it's miserable outside. Many of the interior options combine convenience with practicality. The head-up display is especially useful on long drives, as are the integrated navigation system and compass. When you get where you're going and need to park, possibly with a huge trailer, you can make things easier by using the Sierra's camera views, of which you can get up to 15, to keep an eye on where everything is. Behind the Hitch The enormous engine at the front of the Sierra is there, in part, because sometimes you'll have something enormous to tow behind the Sierra. Without investing in any options, the Sierra is able to tow more than 14,000 pounds. Given that the payload capacity itself starts at over 4,000 pounds, any way that you choose to customize your truck will result in a machine that you can load up with confidence. If the kind of towing jobs you have in mind are of the extreme sort, then you can select options, like the diesel v8 or a towing package, to increase the towing capacity to more than 30,000 pounds. Any version of the Sierra 3500 is a powerful workhorse, but every job is a bit different, and choices like the size of the cab, or whether to go with four-wheel drive, are what make your truck exactly the one to meet your needs. Visit Crain Buick GMC and we'll help you pick the combination of features that's right for you.
