These days, most modern cars use an average of 1,400 to 1,500 semiconductor chips. Our cars have become filled to the brim with clever electronics, all of which require a reliable flow of electrical power from the battery. If you ever notice the following signs of battery trouble, head to your nearest Buick dealer or GMC dealer for a new car battery before your vehicle's many electronics start to fail. 4 Signs Your Buick or GMC Needs a New Car Battery Your Engine's Reluctant To Start When you turn the key or press the starter button, the starter and spark plugs require a surge of voltage to get the engine going. If your battery is on its last legs, you'll find your car struggling to turn over. At first, it will take a little longer to start. Over time, it will become slower and slower and eventually fail to start at all. If you find yourself needing to jumpstart your car on more than one occasion, your battery probably needs to be replaced. more Your Engine Coughs and Sputters A failing car battery can also cause the engine to misfire while you're driving. The engine's fuel pumps require electrical power to operate. If a dying battery fails to deliver this voltage effectively, the fuel pumps can slow down, which unbalances the fuel-air mixture inside the combustion chambers, leading to misfiring spark plugs. This misfiring will cause your car to cough and sputter; you'll also lose engine power. Your Electronics Slow Down and Fail There are many electronic accessories throughout your car, some of which are more important than others. When a battery fades, the first electronics that are likely to fail are the inessential ones like the phone charger, heated seats, power windows, and stereo. Eventually, even the dashboard dials and the headlights will fade and stop working. Your Battery Is Damaged or Leaking As batteries tend to last from three to five years, once your battery reaches three years of age, it's a good idea to check on its condition every now and then. If you see that the battery's casing is warped out of shape or cracked open, leaking battery acid, you'll need to have it replaced. Excessive corrosion on the terminals also spells the end for many car batteries. Test Your Battery at Your Local Buick Dealer or GMC Dealer If you're unsure whether or not your battery is failing, have it tested at your local dealership. The technician can use a multimeter or similar tool to check how well it's holding and delivering voltage. Dying batteries can rarely be repaired effectively and nearly always need to be replaced. Visit Royal Moore Buick GMC in Hillsboro, OR, today to have your battery tested or replaced. We're a local full-service dealership that offers great cars, great deals, and great customer service.

When you need a brake repair, your car will let you know all about it. From strange noises to problems with the brake pedal, it's almost impossible to miss the signs that something is wrong. When these issues show up, make an appointment at your Buick dealer or GMC dealer ASAP so the technicians can get to work on fixing your vehicle. 6 Signs You Need a Brake Repair from Your Buick Dealer or GMC Dealer 1. Metallic Scraping Noises You're driving along with your windows up and the radio off, and then you hear a high-pitched scraping sound when you brake. It sounds like two pieces of metal being scraped against each other, and that's exactly what the sound is caused by. The sound typically means that your brake pads have worn down enough to expose the metal brake pad wear indicator, which is making contact with your metal rotors when you brake. It's time for a brake pad replacement. 2. Grinding Sounds You apply the brakes and hear a jarring grinding sound, and this noise occurs every time you step on the brake pedal now. Like the sound above, this noise also indicates that your brake pads are worn down, but now they're so worn down that your rotors may be getting damaged. more 3. Low Brake Pedal You attempt to brake, but the brake pedal isn't in its usual position. It's a little lower down than it usually is. This can be a sign of many different problems with the braking system, including simple issues such as a brake fluid leak or an air leak. 4. Spongy Brake Pedal You put your foot down on the brake pedal, but the pedal sinks straight to the floor, and it almost feels like you're stepping on a sponge. The pedal is supposed to have resistance, so there's definitely something wrong when that resistance goes away. This problem, like the one above, can also indicate some kind of leak in the braking system. 5. Feedback You feel a vibrating or pulsating sensation when you step on the brake pedal. This can happen if you have anti-lock brakes and you have to slam on the brakes in an emergency, but it shouldn't happen during normal, gentle braking. If it does happen during regular braking, then it's often a sign that your rotors are warped and should be resurfaced or replaced as soon as possible. 6. Pulling You brake as normal and have the steering wheel in a neutral position, but the car pulls to one side as if you attempted to make a turn. This problem often tells you that there's debris in your brake fluid, so it should be drained and replaced. It can also be a sign that your brake linings are unevenly worn down. Swing by Royal Moore Buick GMC in Hillsboro, OR to get your brakes fixed promptly. Call us at 503-616-7041 to make an appointment today.

Car financing is a good option, as you can buy the car you can afford now rather than waiting to accumulate the money to pay for it in cash. When you decide on financing your new Buick, you always have a choice between a bank or credit provider or your dealership. We'd like to give you a few reasons why choosing your Buick dealer for financing is the smart choice. Reasons To Choose Your Buick Dealer for Your Car Financing It's Convenient When you choose your dealer, you can complete the whole process easily and conveniently in one place. We have a variety of online tools on our website that allow you to estimate your monthly payments, interest charges, and term length. You can also complete a pre-approval application through our website. Once the finance is in place, you collect your new car from us, or we can deliver it to you. It's effectively one-stop shopping. more If you choose a bank, and they approve your finance, you have to visit your dealer to complete the rest of the process. This adds extra time, and that can take away days that you could be behind the wheel of your Buick. In addition, financing through a bank usually involves a longer wait time for them to approve your loan. It's Flexible Flexibility is key when you apply for a car loan. You can afford the loan, but you want the best deal on repayments, interest rates, and term length. At your dealership, we understand this. We know you want your new car, so we do our best to get the perfect terms for you. We work with a pool of lenders, which means we can negotiate for you to secure the deal you want. A bank, on the other hand, is less flexible. Each bank has its policies and procedures that govern its loan process. If they approve your loan, the terms are usually set in stone. This lack of flexibility can be a problem. If you don't like the terms the bank offers, you must go through the loan application process again at another bank. Lower Costs Finance always comes at an increased cost over paying in cash. As your dealer, we want to keep your costs as low as possible. We can arrange lower interest rates than a bank, and a cash deposit is often not required. In addition, if you have a car you want to trade in as part of the deal, its value will drop your interest payments and term length. If you choose a bank, none of the above benefits apply. If you already have a car, you'd have to sell it first and then use the money as payment toward their loan. There are many other reasons to choose us for your financing. Call our finance department today at Royal Moore Buick GMC.

Motor oil is super important for the proper functioning of most automobile engines. If your car's motor oil starts to leak or degrade with age, your engine might rapidly overheat and seize up. This is why regular oil changes are considered a vital maintenance task. Let's take a look at the various factors that determine how frequently a driver should visit their local Buick dealer to have their motor oil refreshed. How Often Should Your GMC or Buick Get an Oil Change? Check Your Owner's Manual For a long time, drivers were expected to have their oil refreshed every 3,000 miles or so. Fortunately, advances in engine construction, fuel-delivery systems, and oil chemistry have lengthened this average interval to between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. This longer oil lifespan applies to sophisticated synthetic motor oil, which most modern cars now use. It's best to check your owner's manual for the recommended type of oil and oil refreshing interval for your particular model. more Consider Your Regular Driving Conditions Daily Short Trips of Under Five Miles An optimal drive for most vehicles is more than five miles, which gives the engine and oil plenty of time to warm up to an ideal lubricating temperature. If you regularly use your car for shorter trips than five miles, however, the engine is undergoing excessive wear and tear, and the motor oil wears down faster as well. Carrying or Towing Heavy Loads Any addition of weight to your vehicle puts the engine and oil under increased pressure. Therefore, regular trailering or carrying heavy loads means you might need more frequent motor oil servicing. Stop-and-Go Traffic With Prolonged Idling Regular commuters should also consider having their oil checked and changed more often. Prolonged idling is tough on any car's engine, and heavy urban traffic usually involves a great deal of idling, not to mention additional airborne contaminants from all those exhaust fumes. Extremely Hot or Cold Temperatures Both excessively hot and cold temperatures can negatively impact motor oil for different reasons. The cold can thicken the oil, reducing its lubricating qualities, whereas overly hot climates can break down older motor oil, leading to deposits that clog up the engine. Ask for Guidance at Your Local Buick Dealer It can be difficult to calculate exactly how often you should have your oil refreshed. A trusted technician at your local dealership can take your regular driving conditions into consideration and offer their advice. You can then set up a routine schedule with automatic reminders that ensure you never miss an oil servicing visit again. Have your oil refreshed today at Royal Moore Buick GMC. We're a long-standing local dealership providing the region's drivers with top-of-the-range new and used vehicles along with courteous, personalized customer service.
