The key to a healthy and efficient vehicle is regular services. At your Sisbarro Buick GMC dealership in Las Cruces, NM, we have a huge range of services that will enable you to enjoy your vehicle for many years to come. These are some of the important services that we offer.

Battery Checks

The battery is one of the most important parts of your car, as it must supply the charge that starts your engine. A weak or damaged battery will make starting difficult or even impossible. Car batteries have a limited-service life, and they will need replacement within three to five years. Environmental factors and driving conditions can reduce this service life even further.

A battery check gives you important insights into your battery’s health and future potential. Our technicians will connect your battery to our battery tester, and this machine provides all the information necessary on your battery condition. To prevent unwanted battery issues like starting problems and slow accessories, we advise a battery check after three years. If your battery is failing, we can install a new one for you.

Transmission Servicing

The transmission is the second hardest working part of your car after the engine. It channels engine power into a usable form to move your car. The engine and transmission work together, and a problem with the transmission will inevitably lead to engine trouble. The transmission consists of hundreds of constantly moving parts that must be carefully checked to ensure they’re working at their best.

During a transmission service, we check and replace the transmission fluid. This fluid lubricates the transmission components and protects them against friction damage. It also provides hydraulic power for your gears. We fit a new transmission filter to enable the fluid to flow freely and protect against blockages. Our technicians will also clean and examine the transmission to make sure that all its parts are undamaged and in good condition.

Replacing Brake Pads

Brake pads provide the friction necessary to slow and stop your car. They fit onto the brake calipers, which clamp against the wheel rotors when you hit the brakes. The pads generate friction against the smooth rotors, and this action brings your car to a halt. The pads will gradually wear out in time and will need to be replaced.

Screeching or grinding sounds when you brake are signs that the pads have worn out. Worn or damaged pads increase your stopping distance and can also cause your car to pull toward one side. Replacing your pads will immediately allow your braking system to work more smoothly and efficiently.
