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.
