Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Buick Regal Running Newer, Longer

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2012 Buick Regal. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Regal may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Buick Regal 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 Regal) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Buick Regal won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2012 Buick Regal running newer, longer. To learn how often Buick recommends you have the oil changed in your 2012 Regal, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 2012 Buick Regal.

Routine upkeep for your Buick Regal suspension and steering system 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! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Buick Regal suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.
