2009 Buick LaCrosse Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Buick LaCrosse, 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 LaCrosse could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine LaCrosse maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 Buick LaCrosse!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Buick themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your LaCrosse perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2009 Buick LaCrosse problems.

Bring your 2009 Buick LaCrosse to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your LaCrosse's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2009 Buick LaCrosse? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your LaCrosse may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Buick LaCrosse battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 LaCrosse stranded. Your Buick LaCrosse 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 help your 2009 Buick LaCrosse's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2009 LaCrosse. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2009 Buick LaCrosse? We can help with that, too!

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Buick LaCrosse's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Buick LaCrosse maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
