Are you looking for a car that has all the latest safety features? If so, you should consider purchasing a vehicle from your local GMC Dealer. Our Buick and GMC vehicles offer a range of cars with innovative safety features that can help keep you and your family safe on the road. Below, we'll take a closer look at a few of our car safety features available. 6 Car Safety Features You'll Find at Your Local GMC Dealer Integrated Cameras The integrated camera system gives you a clear view of your surroundings, making it easier to avoid accidents. The rear-view camera can help you navigate safely while parking. Also, some of our Buicks are equipped with an additional bird's eye view camera for an increased view of your surroundings. Forward Collision Alert The forward collision alert feature uses sensors to detect when a collision is imminent and then alerts the driver so they can take evasive action. Forward collision alerts can help prevent accidents or decrease the severity of a collision, making it a vital part of any car's safety arsenal. Automatic Emergency Braking In the event of an accident, automatic emergency braking can help minimize the damage caused by a collision. This feature kicks in when a sensor detects an imminent crash and automatically applies the brakes to help reduce the severity of the accident. This system is designed to work even if the driver doesn't have time to react. Tire Pressure Monitoring System An often overlooked but essential safety feature is a tire pressure monitoring system. This system helps you keep tabs on your tire pressure, so you always know when it's time for a new tire or tire inflation. Keeping your tires properly inflated is crucial for maintaining control of your vehicle and reducing your chances of getting into an accident. Lane-Keep Assist and Departure Warning The lane-keep assist and departure warning systems use sensors to detect when your vehicle is veering out of its lane and then give you an audible or visual warning so you can take corrective action. Additionally, the Lane Change alert feature can help detect cars in your blind zone to prevent collisions. Teen Driver Mode Finally, our Buick and GMC vehicles also come with teen driver mode, which is designed to help new drivers learn the ropes while staying safe on the road. Teen driver mode limits certain features like volume control while also providing warnings when certain driving thresholds are exceeded (like the speed limit). It also provides a report on the teen's driving performance. Driving should be a stress-free experience and we want to make sure our customers have the best and safest ride possible. That's why Buick and GMC vehicles are equipped with some of the latest and greatest safety features. From integrated cameras to auto emergency braking, our cars have got you covered. So next time you're in the market for a new vehicle, stop by Crain Buick GMC and check out our selection of safe and reliable cars.

Here at Crain Buick GMC, we know that warm weather brings with it plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy, such as going camping or relaxing at the beach. However, these experiences can suddenly become much less pleasant when you're stuck dealing with car air conditioning issues during the ride back home. Is your car AC not working? Check out this list of common car AC issues and what you can do about them. Leaking Refrigerant First on our list of common reasons why your car AC isn't working is leaking refrigerant. A refrigerant leak can occur at any point in the air conditioning process and so it's sometimes difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the leak. However, the most common place where leaks are found is at AC unit hose connections. You may also see an oily substance accumulating around these connections, which is likely the source of the leak. Blocked Condenser Your GMC's air conditioning unit relies on a condenser to re-cool hot refrigerant. As part of the re-cooling process, the refrigerant is compressed using the airflow that comes through the front of your car while you drive. If the condenser is blocked by debris, then it will be unable to properly cool the refrigerant and your car's air conditioning system will continue to operate with overheated refrigerant. If this issue occurs, it will quickly cause the AC unit to only expel hot air. Broken Condenser If you've taken a thorough look at your condenser and there doesn't appear to be anything blocking it, then it's possible that the condenser may be broken altogether. There are several things that can cause your GMC vehicle to suffer from a broken condenser, such as a puncture from road debris going through the grill of your car and damaging the part or equipment failure. Contact Your GMC Dealer to Resolve Issues With Your Car AC Not Working Whether you've confirmed that one or all of these issues is responsible for your AC troubles or you're having trouble confirming the cause, contacting your local GMC specialists is a great way to get your AC problem solved. These specialists have experience with popular GMC models such as the GMC Terrain and can resolve AC issues quickly. GMC specialists can seal refrigerant leaks with specialized sealants and examine vehicle components for blockages and failures so that you can get back out on the road with your GMC's air conditioning restored to tip-top working order. As you can see, there are several reasons why your GMC's air conditioning may not be working. Fortunately, GMC specialists are standing by to assist you with your air conditioning woes.

Are you thinking about buying a new car? Getting financing can help you afford an even better car than you would be able to without it. Here's how to make sure you're getting good car financing from your GMC dealer or Buick dealer in Conway, AR. 4 Tips for Getting Good Car Financing from Your GMC Dealer or Buick Dealer in Conway, AR 1. Get Pre-Approved One of the best things you can do when you're looking into getting financing for your vehicle is to get pre-approved. When you get pre-approved for a loan, you'll have a much better idea of what your budget looks like. This is super important to figure out before you start shopping. You don't want to get invested in a vehicle and then learn that you can't afford it. You also don't want to buy a cheap vehicle and realize later you could have spent more money on a better quality vehicle. Getting pre-approved helps you avoid these potential issues. 2. Consider Your Credit Score Your credit score is going to play a big role in the type of financing and loan that you can get for your car. That's why it's a really good idea to sit down and review your credit score before you head to your local dealer If you have a poor credit score, then it might be a good idea to find some ways to bring that score up before you look for a new car. Having a higher score will help you get the most out of your financing options. 3. Put Down as Large a Down Payment as Possible When you get financing for your car, you're going to need to put down a down payment when you've found a car that you like and want to buy. Some dealerships are fairly flexible about what that amount can be. You should try to put down as much as you possibly can for your down payment. Ideally, you'll be able to put down 20% or more. Remember, the larger your down payment, the lower your interest rates will be and therefore the lower your monthly payments will be too. 4. Make Your Payments on Time When you've figured out your budget, found your car, and made your down payment, the final part of the financing process is making your monthly payments. You'll continue making these payments until you've paid off the full cost plus interest of your vehicle. It's super important to make these payments on time. There are undoubtedly some things that can cause you to make payments late, but limit this from happening as much as possible. Late or missed payments will affect your credit score, so you'll want to make sure that you're paying your fees on time. Getting a new car is exciting, and getting financing can help you afford a great-quality car. If you're looking into financing, it's important to bear all the above tips in mind to make sure you get the best options. Ready to find your new car? Head down to Crain Buick GMC today.

One of the best things about choosing a new car from your local Buick or GMC dealer is the raft of new car safety features included or available. Whether it's a suite of cameras to give you a bird's eye view of your vehicle, or intelligent airbags to keep you safe in the event of a crash, you can be more confident than ever with these amazing features. 5 Great Car Safety Features You'll Find on Modern Buick and GMC Cars 1. Front Pedestrian Braking Front pedestrian braking is an intuitive system that constantly scans the road ahead for pedestrians. If someone on foot is detected ahead of you, and you haven't already applied the brakes, the system will trigger a range of audio and visual alerts. If a collision is imminent, then the system will trigger the brakes for you, to ensure you always stop in time. 2. Forward Collison Alert Similar to pedestrian detection, a Forward Collision Alert systems use a sophisticated suite of cameras to measure your distance to the vehicle ahead of you. If this vehicle brakes or slows down suddenly, the system will alert you to a potential crash. Not only this, but it also ensures you're following at a safe distance by setting off an alert if you get too close. 3. Lane Change Assist Monitoring your blind spots can be difficult, especially in heavy traffic. That's why new Buick and GMC vehicles can now be equipped with lane change alert and side blind zone alert, which monitors your blind spot for moving vehicles. When you change lanes, the system will alert you to any vehicle that's rapidly approaching your side blind zone when you maneuver, giving you time to take evasive action. 4. Lane Keeping Assist The available lane-keeping assist system can give you a nudge in the right direction to keep you in the correct lane. It works by monitoring the lane lines around your car and provides gentle nudges to your steering wheel if it detects you drifting out of the lane. The system only activates if you're not actively steering and your turn signal is not active. It can also warn you if you leave the lane. 5.
