2021 Buick Encore Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Buick Encore, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Encore has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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. Just follow your 2021 Buick Encore maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Buick themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Encore's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2021 Buick Encore problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2021 Buick Encore for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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 2021 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Encore stranded. Your Buick Encore won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2021 Buick Encore running newer, longer. To learn how often Buick recommends you have the oil changed in your 2021 Encore, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2021 Buick Encore.
