2016 Buick Encore Maintenance

You want your Buick Encore to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Encore. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Encore, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2016 Buick Encore!

Buick knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Encore running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2016 Buick Encore problems.

Bring your 2016 Buick Encore to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Encore's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2016 Buick Encore. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Encore may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Buick Encore battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Encore) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Buick Encore won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2016 Buick Encore engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2016 Encore. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2016 Buick Encore.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Buick Encore can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Buick Encore suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Buick Encore's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Buick Encore maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Buick Encore’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Need a new Buick Encore radiator? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We'll fix it.
