At your GM dealership, we offer a full range of services and maintenance to protect your vehicle so it can continue to work perfectly. Different seasons bring new challenges for even a GMC, so we want to advise you on some GMC maintenance that will prepare your vehicle for each season.
From Your GM Dealership: Examples of Seasonal GMC Maintenance
Spring Maintenance
Spring is a good time to get an electrical system check. Most of your vehicle’s systems depend on electricity, and as time passes, solenoids can fail, wiring can break, and the alternator and battery gradually slow down and may fail. Summer places extra demands on the electrical system, and our technicians will thoroughly examine and test it to ensure everything works correctly.
Replacing engine and cabin filters is quick and inexpensive but provides many benefits. The cabin air filter removes pollen and dirt before it enters your cabin, protecting you and your passengers against allergies and stuffy air. Replacing the engine air filter ensures your engine receives the fresh air it needs for efficient combustion.
Summer Maintenance
The cooling system is responsible to remove heat to protect the engine from damage. Coolant becomes less effective over time and needs replacement. The radiator, water pump, thermostat, and other components are examined for wear or damage, and repaired or replaced if necessary.
An AC service is important, as you need its cold air to take the edge off those hot, muggy summer days. We’ll examine each AC component and test the system to keep that cold air flowing.
Fall Maintenance
Checking the windshield wipers and replacing the blades, if necessary, means they’ll keep your windshield clean and vision unimpaired during the fall rains. Damaged blades can scratch the glass, potentially causing cracks and the necessity of a windshield replacement.
We also advise checking your tires. Tire tread gradually wears down due to surface friction, and this damage can be increased by alignment or wheel balance issues. We can correct any of these issues and increase your tire by rotating them to equalize wear and tear and prolong their life.
Winter Maintenance
Before winter arrives and the temperature drops, a battery test is important. The average battery life is three to five years, but extreme heat and cold can reduce this. A battery test provides a window into its health and remaining life. If your battery is weak, we advise replacing it, as low temperatures can easily cause an old, weak battery to fail.

Lovers of the incredibly luxurious Cadillac Escalade who are looking for a bit more cargo space should check out the 2024 Cadillac Escalade ESV. This version of Cadillac’s iconic SUV has a longer body length and a higher wheelbase, along with significantly more cargo space.
Three Luxurious Features of the 2024 Cadillac Escalade ESV
1. Versatile Seating
The front-row seats of the Escalade ESV Luxury have three-stage heating, so you can enjoy extra warmth during the winter. The buttons for the heating feature are conveniently located on the door handles. The third-row seats are also power-folding, which means you can configure the interior space to meet your needs.
The cargo capacity in the cargo area when all seats are in place is 41.5 cubic feet. This means you can easily fit three or four large suitcases in the back even when all the seats are filled up. When the third-row seats are folded, the cargo capacity increases to 94.1 cubic feet; when both back seats are folded, you can max out your carrying capacity to 142.8 cubic feet.
2. HD Surround Vision
HD Surround Vision is a feature that gives you the ultimate view of the area around your car. The digital camera provides a real-time view of the area around your vehicle, including a 3D overhead view, so you can avoid vehicles and other obstacles when you are parking. This feature also comes with a guideline so you can park accurately every time.
3. AKG Studio Audio System
The Luxury trim is also equipped with an AKG Studio 19-speaker audio system with an integrated subwoofer and amplifier. This audio system has a few special features. The Conversation Enhancement feature uses cleverly placed microphones to project voices from the first-row seats to the back rows, so you don’t have to raise your voice to be heard.
This audio system also has a Navigation Rendering feature that makes it easier to follow directions from the navigation system. When your directions tell you to turn left, you will hear sound from the speakers on the left side of the vehicle; when directions indicate you should turn right, the instruction will be delivered from the right speakers. The volume also increases as you approach the turn.
The Escalade ESV has extra space to accommodate the gear and luggage for all of your family adventures. Drop by Opequon Motors in Martinsburg, WV to take this extra-large full-size SUV on a test drive.
