When it comes to road safety, you may assume that your brakes are the number one safety feature. However, if your tires don't have sufficient traction to stop the car instantly, you might have a collision even with perfect brakes. With this in mind, always watch out for the following signs of worn-out tires. You can visit your local GM dealership any time to have top-notch new tires installed and your vehicle's control and stopping power fully restored. Shallow Tread Depths One of the most common reasons drivers replace their tires is because the old tires no longer have sufficient tread depths to reliably grip road surfaces. When the treads of a tire have worn down to 2/32 of an inch, it's time for the tire to go. In colder and wetter climates, when road surfaces are more slippery, consider replacing your tires when the tread depths reach 4/32 or 5/32 of an inch. more Reduced Traction on Water No matter how sturdy your tires appear to be, if you sense sudden momentary losses of traction, have the tires checked and replaced with better ones. Unreliable tires are most likely to lose traction on wet road surfaces first, which is called hydroplaning. Strange Vibrations If you notice odd vibrations while driving, you might have a tire-related problem. One or more tires might have become damaged internally. Alternatively, with vibrations, the tires might be uneven or misaligned in some other way. A technician can determine whether the tires need to be rotated, replaced, or restored to normal function in some other way. Falling Air Pressure While checking your tires each month, take note if the air pressure is steadily falling in any individual tire. Dropping air pressure could indicate a hidden puncture, which will need to be fixed if possible. Your vehicle's automatic tire pressure monitoring system might also alert you of falling air pressure. Obvious External Damage Any clear external damage to a tire will often mean the tire has to go. Such damage might include deep cuts or embedded objects, or bulges and blisters in the rubber. Too many cracks in the sidewalls can also put a tire at risk of blowouts on the road. Excessively Old Tires It's wise to follow your tire manufacturer's guidance on how long to use their tires. In many cases, it's inadvisable to use car tires for more than six years. Certainly, don't use tires for more than ten years, even if you very rarely drive. Have your tires rotated, repaired, or replaced today at Coughlin GM of Newark. We're an award-winning local dealership providing a terrific range of new and pre-owned vehicles along with courteous, attentive customer service.

Just like any other part of your vehicle, your headlights occasionally wear out and need to be replaced. Headlights typically last anywhere from 500 to 1,000 hours, and you never know when one will stop working, so it's important to keep an eye on this important safety component. When it's time for new headlights, Coughlin GM of Newark can replace them. How Can I Tell It's Time for New Headlights? Your High Beams No Longer Work If you can turn on your headlights, but your high beams no longer work, your bulb may have burned out. The other possibility is that you have a wiring issue with your headlights. One of our technicians can take a look and determine what the problem is. more Your Headlights No Longer Emit a Direct, White Light If your headlights have started giving off a hazy, yellow glow as opposed to a clear, direct beam of light, one of a couple of things could be going on. The headlights could be nearing the end of their life. It's also possible that dirt and grime have accumulated on the inside of the plastic lens that covers your headlights, and your lights simply need a thorough cleaning. Your Headlights Have Started Flickering Have your headlights started flickering on and off? This can happen shortly before your headlights burn out completely. When you notice blinking or flickering, it's time to schedule a service appointment for your headlights. You're Struggling To Navigate Headlights start to lose visibility near the end of their life, and the decline can happen so gradually that you don't initially notice it. But if you regularly find yourself struggling to navigate darkened streets, your headlights may be giving off less light than they used to. How Can My GMC Dealer Help? Prompt Diagnosis of the Problem If you're concerned about your headlights, one of our factory-trained technicians can take a look and perform a repair or replacement. The headlight bulb often needs to be replaced, and in some cases, faulty wiring may be an issue. Headlight service is generally not lengthy or extensive, so we should be able to address the problem and get you back on the road in no time. Long-lasting Replacement Bulbs We'll replace your bulbs with high-quality new ones that will help you safely drive after dark for years to come. And if you're considering upgrading your headlights to LED or making other changes, we can talk with you about whether that's appropriate for your vehicle.

When it comes to your car, keeping it running smoothly is probably at the top of your priority list. One of the key components that ensures that your car starts and runs properly is the car battery, which provides the power needed to start your engine. However, like all parts of your car, the battery has a finite lifespan and will eventually need to be replaced. Is it time to visit your Buick dealer for a new car battery? Let's go over some signs. Difficulty Starting Your Car When you try to turn on your car, it should start up promptly. If you notice that it's taking longer than usual for your engine to crank up, it might be a sign that your battery is losing its charge. The slow crank is often one of the first indicators that your battery is on its way out. more An Old Battery Car batteries typically last between three and five years, depending on the climate, your driving habits, and how often the vehicle is used. If your GMC or Buick's battery is old enough to start preschool, it's a good idea to have it tested and potentially replaced to avoid unexpected issues. Swelling or Leaking Battery Case A car battery is encased in a plastic housing. If you notice that your battery case is swelling, bulging, or leaking, it's time for the battery to be replaced. Not only is a bulging battery not working at its best, but it can also pose a safety hazard. Dimming Lights and Electrical Problems All the electrical components in your car, from the lights to the radio, rely on the battery. If you notice your headlights are dimmer than they should be or if other electrical components are not working correctly, it could be due to a dying battery. The Car Won't Start This is the most obvious and stressful sign that your battery isn't doing its job anymore. If you try to start your car and the only response is an ominous clicking noise, your battery is likely the culprit. While your car might start again after a jump start, it's not a good idea to ignore this cry for help. Visit Your Buick Dealer for a New Car Battery When it's time to replace the battery in your car, head to the dealership. With certified technicians who specialize in maintaining your vehicle, we'll have your car in and out and back on the road in no time. By being vigilant and paying attention to the signs your battery is dying, you can ensure that it gets taken care of before it can become a major issue. Is it time to replace your battery?
