Regular maintenance will keep your vehicle working as efficiently as the day you drove it out of the showroom. As your Buick and GMC dealer in Las Cruces, NM, we want to tell you about some of the vehicle maintenance we can provide to keep your car like new for many years to come.

Brake Repairs

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Worn brakes are one of the main causes of accidents as they reduce your ability to quickly and efficiently bring your car to a stop whenever you need to. The braking system operates under high pressure, and this constant level of pressure can cause wear and tear. A worn brake hose could leak, for example. In addition, certain components, like the brake pads, need to be replaced regularly as they wear out.

Strange noises, foul chemical smells, and a lack of resistance when you step on the brake pedal are all signs that something is wrong. Brake problems will worsen if they aren’t repaired, and this can lead to additional damage or even cause an accident. Our technicians are experts at brake repair and can quickly identify the problem and repair it. You’ll drive away knowing your brakes are working perfectly again.

Getting car financing at our Buick GMC dealership in Las Cruces, NM has many advantages over going to a bank, credit union, or another lender. For instance, it’s better for people with poor credit. It’s also a hugely convenient way to offload your old car, finance your new one, and pick a new ride that you love all in one trip.

1. It’s a Great Option Financially

It’s easier to get a loan at a dealership than it is at a bank or credit union when your credit isn’t in the best shape. This makes dealership financing a great option for people with low credit scores, as dealers present you with an option to get financing for your car when it’s difficult to get financing elsewhere.

There are financial incentives for people with excellent credit scores, so dealership financing caters to both ends of the credit score spectrum. If you have excellent credit, then you may be able to qualify for a 0% APR loan if the dealership is running a promotional offer at the time. Even if you can’t secure a 0% APR loan, you may qualify for one with a very low interest rate.

Healthy brakes are essential, as they give you full control over your car’s speed. In time, parts can become worn or damaged and you’ll need to visit your Buick GMC dealer for a brake repair. These are a few signs you have brake trouble.

Soft Brake Pedal

Brake fluid is kept under high pressure, as the pressure generates the force necessary to stop your car when it’s moving at speed. The fluid forces the pins out of the calipers, which causes the calipers to close on the wheel rotors. The pads inside the calipers generate friction against the rotors, and this brings your wheels to a stop.

You should feel the pressure in the system when you press down on the pedal. The fluid generates resistance which becomes more pronounced as you apply more pressure. If you don’t feel resistance from the pedal, this means there’s a problem in the braking system. The problem could be caused by a fluid leak or a bubble in the braking system that’s blocking the fluid’s movement. We’ll examine your brakes and fix the problem.
