Your spark plugs are small, but they're mighty! You'll know it when you need a replacement from your GMC and Buick dealer. The signs outlined below will let you know when it's time to get that replacement from your Conway, AR, Buick and GMC dealer, so be sure to be on high alert for them. Signs You Need a Spark Plug Replacement From Your Conway, AR, GMC and Buick Dealer 1. Your Car Won't Start There are several reasons your car may be hard to start. Sometimes your battery or alternator will be having problems, so you can't get the engine running. However, your plugs may also be the issue. They could be worn out or clogged, so they're not producing enough spark to get your engine to turn over. 2. Your Engine Misfires If your engine misfires, then you may have a faulty ignition coil, or perhaps you have low-quality fuel. However, a plug that's too worn out to spark can also cause misfiring. Your engine might pop as it loses timing, then it later regains it. You might also notice your engine's pace faltering, but it'll catch back up shortly. This misfiring ends up damaging the catalytic converter, so come to the dealer ASAP. 3. Your Car Has Poor Fuel Economy If your plugs are worn out, then your engine is trying extra hard to keep working to compensate. This means it'll use up more fuel faster, lowering your fuel economy. If you notice you have to stop for gas more often than usual, then you may have an issue with your plugs. 4. Your Engine Is Noisy While Idle If your engine is noisy while you're idle, then you probably have a problem with your plugs. You'd better come to get them checked. The noises you can expect to hear when you need a checkup are rattling and knocking sounds that seem like they're coming from your engine. 5. Your Car Won't Accelerate If you're having trouble accelerating, then your plugs may not have enough strength to ignite the mixture of fuel and air inside your combustion chamber. This reduces your car's ability to accelerate efficiently, and sometimes you won't be able to accelerate much at all. 6. Your Engine Is Louder Than Usual If one of your plugs starts malfunctioning, then your engine will start getting louder. This is because one or more of your engine's cylinders are overworked, so it's getting louder while it struggles to function. Get your engine inspected if it ever becomes noisier than usual. Reasons to Visit Your Buick and GMC Dealer For Your Replacement You deserve the best treatment when you need to replace something in your vehicle, and you'll get that from us. We recommend coming to us for your replacement for three simple reasons: We're fast: We have lots of technicians on standby to work on your vehicle We're experienced: We know GMC and Buick vehicles inside and out We're helpful: We want to answer any questions you have while you're here Come to Crain Buick GMC, as we can change your plugs with no problems.

The pandemic has changed the way most people work and live, including those of us in the automotive sector. It's even created a chip shortage that has impacted automotive production. You might think this inventory shortage effectively ends your dreams of a new car, but just the opposite is true. With custom order options, you can request the exact make, model, and trim you have your eye on - and have it delivered with no interruption to your schedule. Chip Shortage, Inventory Shortage, and Placing a Custom Order A shortage of semiconductor chips is being felt around the globe, especially in the automotive industry. This is largely owed to the shock of the pandemic, which forced many automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to shut down and stop processes in the second quarter of 2020. In so doing, most manufacturers also canceled parts orders that initiated a trickle effect down the supply chain. Chips suppliers were forced to find other markets to sell to, including manufacturers of tablets, PCs, and gaming equipment. Added to this is the rollout of the 5G smartphone, which has kept chips suppliers extremely busy. So much so that many other industries - such as military, aerospace, and automotive sectors - are now facing stock shortages. The Link Between Chips and Automobiles Semiconductor chips power most of the technology on modern vehicles. From autonomous driving aids and cell phone integration to power steering and emergency braking systems, these chips play crucial roles. Without them, automobile manufacturers have been forced to slow production. This means fewer new cars are available than, say, a year or two ago. But rest assured you can still buy a new car, and you can do so from the convenience of your home, office, or another comfortable spot. Even better, you can have your car made to order so you get exactly the trim and specifications you want. Ordering the Vehicle You Want The ability to customize your vehicle order is incredibly simple, especially using our website. You can choose from a variety of 2021 models, including the: Buick Enclave Buick Encore Buick Encore GX Buick Envision GMC Acadia GMC Yukon GMC Terrain GMC Canyon GMC Sierra 1500 Once you've decided which vehicle you want, simply click on the appropriate Start Your Order button.
