Right now is a great time to schedule a GMC maintenance appointment. In fact, there are three important services to get done before spring to make sure your SUV or truck is ready for the warmer season. Head over to Blaise Alexander GMC of Hazleton to give your vehicle the expert brake, wheel, and engine care it deserves. 

Brake Inspection

Brakes are among of your vehicle’s most important safety features. Regular GMC maintenance keeps them working properly, especially this time of year. Our technicians will perform a full brake inspection and clear away any salt, rocks, or other debris that could damage or corrode the components.

Wheel Alignment

Did you know that regular wheel alignment improves your GMC model’s fuel efficiency? It also keeps you safer and prevents undue wear and tear on your tires. Driving over ice, snow, and potholes in the winter can misalign your wheels, so make an appointment before spring to check this important task off your GMC maintenance list. 

Oil Change

Routine oil changes keep your engine running smoothly. Throughout the winter, you likely picked up salt and other grime that thickens the oil…and thick, debris-filled oil means that your engine isn’t properly lubricated. Let our GMC maintenance professionals drain the old oil and refill your engine with clean, fresh oil. We offer a variety of conventional and synthetic options, and we’ll help you pick the best one for your vehicle’s model and year.
