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.

A wheel alignment is an important part of your GMC's maintenance schedule. It involves checking and correcting the alignment of your wheels to ensure that they're in the correct position for safety and efficiency. As your GMC dealer, we want to tell you more about why you should get a routine alignment. Advice From Your GMC Dealer: What Is a Routine Alignment for Your Wheels? What Is a Wheel Alignment? Your axles are straight, and your wheels should be perpendicular to your axles. When you first drive away in your car, the wheels are perpendicular. Over time, wear and tear or possible damage to the wheels or tires can alter the angle of your wheels. This places additional strain on the tires, braking system, axles, suspension, and other car components. During a wheel alignment, we connect your wheels to our computerized alignment machine. The machine will make a series of adjustments to the angle of each wheel until all your wheels are perpendicular to the axle. Why Do You Need a Wheel Alignment? The angle of each wheel in relation to the axle is determined by its camber and toe. The camber of a wheel is the position of the wheel viewed from the front. A positive camber means that the wheel points outwards, while a negative camber means the wheel points inwards. The toe position is the angle of a wheel viewed from above. A toe-in wheel means the wheel points inward, while a toe-out wheel points outwards. As we've seen, your wheels should all be perfectly perpendicular to the axle and point directly forward. In this situation, your fuel efficiency is highest, wear and tear on the axles and wheels is greatly reduced, and your tires will suffer much less wear. An incorrect camber or toe angle, in contrast, will wear down the tire tread faster and provide resistance when you drive. When Should You Get a Wheel Alignment? Generally, a wheel alignment should be performed every 6,000 miles. This figure can vary between GMC models based on your vehicle's body type, drivetrain, and driving conditions. The correct wheel alignment schedule is listed in your car's manual. In some cases, for example, if you've bumped a curb, you may need to get a wheel alignment earlier than expected. Signs You Need a Wheel Alignment It can sometimes be difficult to determine if your wheels are correctly aligned simply by looking at them. We've listed some signs you need to come in for an alignment. Your car is pulling to one side The tire tread is wearing unevenly Your steering wheel vibrates An alignment can increase the lifespan of your tires, reduce damage to the steering and braking systems, and increase fuel efficiency.

It might be gas that keeps your engine going, but your car also relies on its electrical systems to get it going, keep it going, and make your drive comfortable and safe. It's therefore worth staying vigilant to the signs of electrical problems, so that you know when to contact your GMC dealer without delay. 5 Electrical Problems You Should Always Fix at Your GMC Dealer 1. An Engine That Won't Crank When you turn the key or press the ignition, the chirping noise that your engine makes before it roars into life shows that it's cranking. But this needs a charge to make it happen, so if your car is struggling to crank it could be a sign of electrical faults. A clicking or grinding noise can suggest that there's a problem in your starting motor. If there's no response when you try the ignition, check to see if the lights are working. If they are, you may have alternator problems; if they aren't then it could be that your battery is flat. And any of these problems require an appointment for an electrical diagnostic right away. 2. Individual Fuses That Keep Blowing If a single electrical component, such as a brake light, stops working when everything else is fine then it's usually the sign of a blown fuse. This is a relatively simple fix, and it happens from time to time. But if you notice that the same fuse keeps blowing, there's likely an electrical fault behind it. 3. A Battery That's Damaged or Leaky Batteries have a lifetime of between three and five years, so it's important to make sure that they're still operating at optimum capacity. Make a quick visual check every time you pop the hood, and look for stains or buildup around the terminal. Remember that the contents are corrosive and can cause injury if there's a leak, so exercise caution when checking and be proactive about getting a worn battery replaced. 4. Electrical Components That Fail Your car's electrics keep multiple systems running, so if they start failing then it can be a sign that something is amiss. This can include sluggish electric windows, a failing entertainment system, or dim and flickering lights. 5. A Smell of Burning Plastic The plastic insulation around the wires can burn or melt if there's an electrical fault, so this odor can be a tell-tale sign of trouble. If you smell burning plastic, take your car off the road and seek advice immediately. Electrical faults might mean small malfunctions and gradual brownout, or the sudden dramatic failure of your car's components, so it's important to pay attention to your car's charge. If you think there might be a problem, contact us at Crain Buick GMC so that our factory-trained technicians and state-of-the-art technology can get your car back in the best shape.

Tires are the only part of your car in contact with the surface. This surface contact will cause wear and tear on the tire and can lead to damage. If your tires are worn, your GMC dealer can help you. We have a full range of new tires and can fit replacements for you very quickly. These are some signs that you need replacement. 3 Signs You Need New Tires From Your GMC Dealer Your Tread Is Low The tread is the raised groove pattern on your tires. It enables your tires to grip the surface and maintain stability when you're driving. The tread slowly wears down due to abrasion within the surface. As the tread wears, you'll notice your tire's grip is less sure, and you take longer to stop. The legal requirement is your tread can't be less than 1/16" thick. You can test the tread using a Lincoln penny. Put the penny upside down between the tread and look at Lincoln's face. If you see only part of his face, your tread is in great condition. Seeing Lincoln's face below his hairline means your tires are wearing and need to be checked. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, your tire is worn and must be replaced ASAP. You Have a Leak It's normal for your tires to lose air pressure during the month. On average, each tire will lose 1 to 3 PSI (pounds per square inch) per month. This loss is caused by your tire pressure equalizing with the external pressure. If you see that your tires seem to be losing more air than this, you could have a slow leak in the tire. A leak could be caused by a nail or other sharp object that's stuck in the tire. It could also be caused by a damaged air nozzle. The nozzle is one of the most common parts of a tire that can get damaged.  If a small crack develops in the rubber by the nozzle, you can lose air very quickly. We'll need to examine your tires to fix the problem. Bubble in the Sidewall A bubble is an obvious bulge in the surface of the tire. It usually occurs in the sidewall, but it can sometimes occur in the tread. A bubble is caused by sections of your tire being pinched against a hard object. If you bump the curb, for example, part of your tire will be caught against the concrete. Driving with a bubble is dangerous, as the bubble could blow at any time, and this could cause an accident. A tire with a bubble needs to be replaced right away. Damaged tires can cause an accident. Call us today at Crain Buick GMC, and we'll replace them for you.
