Top Spring Maintenance Tips for Buick & GMC Vehicles

Seasonal car care is all about catching potential issues before they become major problems. Here are the top services we recommend every spring:

• Oil and Filter Change: Fresh oil keeps your engine running smoothly, especially as temperatures rise.

• Tire Inspection and Rotation: Check for uneven wear, proper inflation, and alignment if needed.

• Brake Inspection: Wet roads and debris can wear down your brakes—get them inspected for safety.

• Battery Test: Colder months can weaken your battery. A quick check helps avoid surprise no-starts.

• Fluid Top-Off: Make sure coolant, brake, transmission, and windshield washer fluids are all filled and clean.

Don’t forget to replace your wiper blades and check your air conditioning system—both are essential for warm, rainy Florida days. Our service center in Ormond Beach uses genuine GM parts and follows factory-recommended service schedules for your Buick or GMC.

Services We Offer

At Ritchey Buick GMC, our service team knows that transmission maintenance requires skilled hands that care; that’s why we have the tools to get your transmission back in shape.

Transmission Fluid Change and Flush: Most drivers don’t know they need to change their fluid. Like an oil change, transmission fluid helps lube your transmission for gear shifts, extend its life, and prevent hefty repair costs. Also, the fluid can collect grime and dirt, so a complete flush can help keep your vehicle clean from residue!

Transmission Replacement: Our team knows that even with the best care, sometimes a replacement is the best option. You can rest easy knowing that our highly skilled team has the equipment to replace your transmission so you can return to cruising the street!

Spring storms are also common in parts of Florida, so good tires, brakes, and windshield wipers are a must. Our team can inspect all these systems and more to make sure you’re safe when the rain starts to fall.
