Can Buick service save me money?

How do I know if my Buick drivetrain is damaged?

Your Buick Lucerne drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

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

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Lucerne’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Lucerne’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your Lucerne’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Lucerne serious?

If your Lucerne has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my Lucerne drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Lucerne is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

2011 Buick Lucerne Drivetrain Service

Your Lucerne’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Buick, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Lucerne and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2011 Buick Lucerne, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Buick's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Buick Lucerne Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2011 Buick Lucerne drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Lucerne might need driveshaft repair if you notice 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. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Buick Lucerne.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2011 Buick Lucerne? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
