Welcome to Motor City Buick GMC Service Center
Buick and GMC drivers, let our factory-trained techs give your gas-powered or electric model the year-round service and maintenance it needs and deserves. What types of service and maintenance should you get? There are seasonal care, annual care and long-term care. Our factory-trained techs take pride in helping you keep your GMC or Buick looking and behaving like a new or a late-model vehicle. Here's how.
Common Car Maintenance
Common car maintenance can be seasonal or annual. It includes a variety of services that help your Buick or GMC stay healthy and live longer: diagnostics, multi-point inspections, oil changes and tire rotations.
A brake inspection, a battery test, a change of filters or a change/top-off of key fluids are other common services. Your GMC or Buick owner's manual recommends optimal service intervals, and our seasoned service department can make year- and model-specific recommendations.
Car Care for the Long Haul
Buick's and GMC's classic EV vehicles require their own unique service and maintenance. Upcoming Buick and GMC EV and PHEV models have special maintenance schedules and service requirements as well. Whatever model you currently own or intent to purchase we've got your back.
Long-haul car care for all types of powertrains entails an array of services, like battery changes, sparks, struts and suspension. Routine care keeps your car on top of its fitness game, helping it age smoothly and perform efficiently.

We recommend a brake inspection at least once a year or, alternatively, once every 10-12,000 miles. This should be enough to keep an eye on items like your brake pads, which wear down over time.
A tire rotation moves your tires to different positions on your vehicle. This helps even out the wear they experience from contact with the ground during normal use. Regular rotations can help to significantly extend the life of your vehicle's tires, saving you from having to invest in costly replacements.
You should invest in tire rotation service once every six months or once every 5-8,000 miles. This should be often enough to help you enjoy the full benefits of a tire rotation procedure.
