Combustion produces large quantities of heat, and the radiator acts as a heat exchanger to remove this heat by replacing it with cooler outside air. The radiator and the rest of the cooling system operate under high pressure and in high-temperature conditions. Over time this can cause damage to the system. As your Buick dealer and GMC dealer, we’d like you to know a few signs that you need to visit us for a radiator repair.

Signs You Need a Radiator Repair at Your GMC Dealer or Buick Dealer

Engine Temperature Rising

The temperature gauge on your dash gives you a heads-up on your engine temperature. As you accelerate, the engine temperature will rise and the cooling system will speed up to reduce the temperature again. Although your engine works most effectively at a temperature between 185 F and 230 F, this sustained heat level will damage sensitive engine components like gaskets and seals.

If your engine temperature rises for no apparent reason and continues to climb, this is a sign of danger. An engine can suffer serious, even fatal damage if the temperature isn’t reduced. We advise pulling over as soon as it’s safe to do so and contacting us right away. Our expert technicians will find the cause of the problem and repair it.

When your car needs a brake repair, you’ll notice some issues going on with the vehicle. When these issues rear their heads, you’ll need to visit your dealer as soon as possible to get the braking system examined and repaired. Some of the most common issues you’ll experience our outlined below.

5 Signs Your GMC or Buick Needs a Brake Repair

1. Brake Noise

If there are any noises happening when you hit the brakes, then you should definitely head to the dealer for an inspection. Often, you’ll hear a screeching sound, like metal scraping against metal. This happens when your brake pads wear down and the brake pad wear indicators scratch against your rotors.

Make sure you regularly listen out for this sound so you can keep on top of getting your brake pads replaced. It’s usually too subtle to be heard if you have the radio on, but it can be heard when the windows are up. If you hear a grinding or growling sound, then it means your brake pads are long overdue for replacement, and now your brakes or rotors may be damaged.
