Can Buick drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Buick drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Buick Enclave, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Buick Enclave differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Enclave?

A multitude of problems can activate your Enclave’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the Enclave malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Enclave's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Enclave.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Enclave?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Enclave should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Enclave transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Enclave. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

2018 Buick Enclave Drivetrain Service

Your Enclave drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Buick, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Enclave and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2018 Buick Enclave to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Buick's recommendations.

When to Get Buick Enclave Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2018 Buick Enclave drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Buick Enclave may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Buick Enclave drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2018 Buick Enclave drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
