You can’t be a carpool driver without an adequate car. If what you’re driving now just won’t cut it anymore, consider one of these new GMC cars at Nick Abraham Buick GMC.

GMC Yukon

Who do you need to drive to work or school? If it’s a large group of people, the GMC Yukon is the right call. If you go with two front bench seats, you’ll be able to fit up to nine people, and all three rows offer great leg- and headroom. If your daily travels involve transporting cargo, you’ll love the massive amount of space the GMC Yukon has: 25.5 cubic feet behind the third row, 72.6 cubic feet when they’re folded, and 122.9 cubic feet with both back rows down.

GMC Terrain

While not as big as GMC Yukon, the GMC Terrain can still fit up to seven people. It also comes with an assortment of safety features to help keep you and your passengers safe. These include automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane keep assist, pedestrian detection, a following distance indicator, and lane departure warning. If you have a young driver you’ll be handing the keys over to, the Teen Driver system is included as well.

GMC Acadia

If you won’t need to transport a lot of people or cargo, consider the two-row GMC Acadia. This GMC SUV comes with an assortment of features to keep everybody connected, including a Wi-Fi hot spot, Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® integration, and five USB ports. Satellite radio, a six-speaker stereo system, and Bluetooth® connectivity are also standard, but for even more enjoyment, you can also opt for HD radio, wireless device charging, and a back-seat entertainment system.

Think one of these models will be perfect for your carpool? Come check it out at Nick Abraham Buick GMC in Elyria!

Our new GMC cars here at Nick Abraham Buick GMC are great, but we can’t wait to see what the 2022 model year has in store. These are the 2022 models we are particularly excited about.

2022 GMC Terrain

The GMC Terrain has been revamped for 2022, and the headlights, taillights, and grille all have updated stylings. The interior will also have a variety of updated fabrics and trims to pick from. Another new feature is wireless connectivity to Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and Amazon Alexa®. What hasn’t changed is all of the standard safety features, which include lane keep assist, front and rear parking sensors, and automatic emergency braking.

2022 GMC Acadia

For 2022, the GMC Acadia will no longer offer the SL trim, as the SLE trim is now the base model. The previous 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is also gone and has been replaced by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 228 horsepower. The other option is a 3.6-liter V6 engine that generates 310 horsepower. This big SUV will also come with many advanced safety components, such as pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, and lane keep assist.

2022 GMC Hummer EV

Of course, we can’t talk about upcoming cars without mentioning the GMC Hummer EV pickup. While these vehicles were once notorious for being gas guzzlers, you will never need to buy gas again with this all-electric model. Plus, its three motors will give you tremendous power: over 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb.-ft. of torque.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to new GMC vehicles coming soon. To learn more about these models or others, get in touch with Nick Abraham Buick GMC or come down to see us!

Car ownership can be a little confusing, especially when it comes to maintenance. If it’s been a while since you had your car’s oil changed, for example, you may be wondering if you should schedule an oil change near you. Today, we’re answering some common questions about how often you should schedule oil changes for your Buick or GMC.

Is 3,000 Miles Still Applicable?

For years – and probably even decades – 3,000 miles was the golden number when it came to oil changes. However, as cars became more advanced, that number began to change.While you can certainly get your oil changed every 3,000 miles, you probably don’t need to. Thanks in large part to advancements in oil, it can now stay cleaner for longer. Every 5,000 miles is probably more accurate these days, and you may actually not need to change your oil until you hit the 10,000-mile mark. Consult you owner’s manual for more detailed information.

Mileage Isn’t Everything

Mileage isn’t the only thing to keep in mind when it comes to oil changes. Time is also a factor. Over the last year or so, there’s a good chance your driving habits changed and you weren’t behind the wheel as often. Hopefully, however, you kept up with your oil changes. Over time, oil degrades, even if your car is just sitting in your garage. This is why most mechanics advise drivers to get their oil changed twice per year regardless of how much driving they do.

Get a Quality Oil Change at Nick Abraham Buick GMC

Now that you’re better informed about oil changes, you might start to realize that you need one. If so, just make an appointment with our service center at our Buick dealership near Lexington.

Buying a new car? Looking for something that will be a vast improvement over your current vehicle? We’ve got two words for you: trade-in. You – like many other car buyers before you – may not think trading in a car is worth it, but it’s a smart move for several reasons. Visit Nick Abraham Buick GMC today to learn what trading in your old vehicle can do for you.

Exceptional Value

Many drivers are hesitant to trade in their vehicles because they don’t think their cars are worth much. Pretty much any older car has at least a little bit of value. While yours may have seen better days, check out our Value Your Trade tool to discover what it’s really worth. You may be pleasantly surprised by the results you get. Plus, whatever that number is, you can subtract if from the price of a new car or use it as a down payment, saving you even more money.

Open Up Space

If you’re planning to buy a newer car, how often do you think you’re going to drive your old one? Probably not too often, if at all. In that case, it’s just taking up a lot of space in your garage or driveway, which will open right up when you trade in.

Start Fresh

We all get attached to our cars, especially if we have had them for a long time. This could be why you’re feeling some reluctance about trading in your car. While you may have had fond memories in your old vehicle, think of the new ones you’ll create in your Buick Envision or whatever you intend to buy.

If you’re ready to trade in your car for something great, visit Nick Abraham Buick GMC near Elyria. We’ll help you find a model that suits you best.

Misinformation is rampant these days, especially when it comes to car-buying. Ever since pre-owned cars were first sold, buyers have developed myths about their reliability that simply aren’t true. Today, we’re taking a look at three of the most common myths about pre-owned Buick and GMC vehicles and why they shouldn’t be believed.

Myth #1: Pre-Owned Cars are Less Reliable

Many people balk at buying a pre-owned model because they think it won’t be reliable. These days, cars are built to last. As long as a vehicle is given the maintenance it needs, there’s no reason why it won’t be able to last for a very long time. Most cars can easily go past 100,000 miles, and many can make it up to 200,000 miles and beyond.

Myth #2: Pre-Owned Models Come with Unpleasant Surprises

It’s always a little risky not buying new, particularly when it’s a big purchase. But with a pre-owned or certified pre-owned car, you can always know what you are getting. When you look at the vehicle history report, you will get an excellent idea of how the car was cared for, as it includes service and repair information.

Myth #3: Pre-Owned Vehicles Don’t Come with Advanced Features

While it’s true that new cars come with state-of-the-art amenities, pre-owned vehicles rarely lack in this department. A car that is only a couple years old may still have an advanced infotainment touchscreen, smartphone connectivity, and innovative safety components, so you’re still getting the same premium features normally reserved for new models.

Want to take a look at some pre-owned cars in-person? Visit Nick Abraham Buick GMC and we’ll gladly give you all of the information you need to make a smart buying decision.

Have you been searching for a used car near you but don’t know where to start? To help you stay informed, we’ve compiled a list of questions to ask when you find a used vehicle you love.

“Has this vehicle been well taken care of?

You always need to know where a used car has been. Has it been involved in any accidents? Did it receive regular maintenance? Are there any open recalls on the car? Here at Nick Abraham Buick GMC, we provide vehicle history reports for all of our used vehicles so you can know what they’ve been through.

“Has this vehicle been inspected?”

Even if a used car comes with a vehicle history report, it still helps to have a thorough inspection on record. At our service center, we always check to make sure the interior systems in our used cars are functioning properly. We also make sure there are no major dings or dents on our used cars, and if any maintenance is needed, we’re on top of that as well.

“What are my used car financing options?”

Even though used vehicles are more affordable, you aren’t expected to pay for them upfront. At our dealership, you can still get competitive financing options for a used model. That way, you can break down your loan into comfortable monthly payments.

“What about certified pre-owned vehicles?”

When you’re shopping for a used vehicle and want additional peace of mind, you may want to consider the perks associated with buying a certified pre-owned vehicle. Not only have these models undergone a 172-point inspection, but they also come with a:

12-month/12,000-mile extended new car bumper-to-bumper limited warranty

Six-year/100,000-mile extended powertrain limited warranty

CPO scheduled maintenance program

Our auto dealers in Elyria, OH are happy to answer any questions you may have about our used models. Our lot only features high-quality used vehicles, and when you visit us for a test drive, we’ll help you decide which is your favorite.

Q: How often do I need service?

A: There are lots of factors that determine how often your vehicle needs maintenance. Some new vehicles can last up to 10,000 miles before they need an oil change, while older vehicles may need an oil change after 3,000 miles.

It’s best to sit down with our trained technicians to figure out the best schedule for you.

Q: How often should I replace my tires?

A: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends that you inspect your tires after six years of use. Of course, there are a number of factors that can contribute to earlier repairs or replacements.

For example, if your pressure is continuously low, you could have a leak. You may also want to replace your tires if the tread becomes inadequate, or less than 2/32 of an inch.

Accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. Luckily, driver-assist features give you a little extra hand when it comes to watching the road.

Innovative features such as blind spot detection can help you avoid a collision. You can find this type of added security in several of our new Buick cars for sale at Nick Abraham Buick GMC.

What is Blind Spot Detection?

Blind spot detection is an advanced safety feature that lets you know when it isn’t safe to switch lanes. The feature senses when a vehicle is driving in your blind spot and warns you not to move out of your lane.

An icon will light up in your side mirror warning you about any approaching vehicles. In Buick vehicles, this feature is referred to as lane change alert with side blind zone alert.

Which Buick Cars Have Blind Spot Detection?

Depending which vehicle you choose, you may or may not have lane change alert with side blind zone alert at your disposal. For example, this feature comes standard in the new Buick Envision and is an available feature in the Buick Enclave. It’s also part of the Buick Driver Confidence Plus suite of safety features.

What is Buick Driver Confidence Plus?

This suite of advanced safety features includes driver-assist features that give you added confidence on the road. These intuitive features sense potential hazards and ensures that you respond accordingly:

Forward collision alert

Front pedestrian braking

Lane keep assist with lane departure warning

Rear cross traffic alert

Want to see these innovative features in action? Take a ride in our new Buick vehicles at our Buick dealership in Elyria, OH and experience innovation, performance, style, and comfort. You’ll find it all in a Buick vehicle!
