GMC Acadia Maintenance Checklist

What maintenance services should my Acadia have done most frequently?

Some services on your GMC Acadia should happen more often than others, and that's just a fact! When it comes to automotive maintenance, our team has your back, and these are the kinds of services we think you should be getting done at least once a year, but sometimes more, depending on your driving habits. For a more personalized list to meet your specific needs, meet with one of our technicians, and they'll go over a schedule with you step-by-step.

• Tire rotation: At i.g. Burton Buick GMC of Glen Burnie, we recommend a tire rotation about every year as a simple way to make sure that your Acadia's tires are wearing evenly as they should be. If you notice any additional or unexplained vibration, that could be a sign that you need a wheel alignment or wheel balancing.
• Engine oil: The big thing in this checklist that you never, ever, want to skip out on is an oil change. Oil changes should be happening around every 5,000 miles, depending on the oil you use and how much you are driving your Acadia. This evens out to about 2 times a year for some, which is a great way to keep your engine in perfect working order.
• Tire checks: Your tires are an integral part of the health and safety of your GMC Acadia, and they should be checked more than yearly, but about every single month. You'll not only want to check for anything like a nail or screw in your tires, but the tire pressure itself, and the tread depth. Anything out of the ordinary should mean an appointment with our service team.
• Fluid level checks: The last part of this list we want to include is the fluid levels of your GMC. Whether you're talking about coolant, transmission, or windshield wiper, all of these things should be checked for any potential leaks, or to top them off if necessary.

What maintenance should I add to my checklist for the long term?

Beyond maintenance that should be done more often than not, there are other services that you should still consider, but you will only really need to consider in the long term. They're still important, so don't discount having them done when the time is right! This is simply an opportunity for our team to showcase more maintenance that we can help you accomplish over the lifespan of your Acadia!

• Serpentine belt
• Front/rear differential
• Spark plugs
• Shocks/struts
• Coolant fluid exchange

If you have questions about when you should be getting these services done, you are more than welcome to reach out to our team, and we can let you know more about what we would suggest for your Acadia. The more on top of maintenance you are, the better.

Are there any seasonal maintenance items I should consider for my Acadia?

Something else to consider when running through a checklist is what you should be doing seasonally. This is an opportunity for you to, about every 3 months, reset your Acadia and make sure that things are working and functioning the way that they should. We know that this is a lot to take in, but the team here at i.g. Burton Buick GMC of Glen Burnie will always be here for you. You'll want to consider doing things like replacing windshield wipers, checking your Acadia's battery, changing your tires if that's something you do, cleaning out your car, and checking coolant levels. No matter what you need, our team will be ready to assist you with maintenance and ensure that each season brings nothing but stress-free driving.
