How to Safely Load Your Buick SUV
Knowing how to load and unload the cargo area properly is an essential part of safely driving your Buick SUV. If you don’t heed these safety concerns, you may put your vehicle or cargo at risk. Learn how to safely load your Buick SUV by listening to these tips from the McGuire Buick GMC team.
Stacking Your Items
Ensure you load your Buick SUV correctly by stacking lighter and smaller items on top of heavier ones. Throwing everything in the back willy-nilly risks damaging your items when you hit the road.

Why Summer's a Great Time for an Oil Change
There's never a better time to schedule an oil change than the summer. When you next visit our McGuire Buick GMC service center, you can replace the oil in your tank to ensure better performance in the summer heat. Here are some of the best reasons for an oil change during the warm weather.
Better Engine Performance
Summer is a strenuous time for your engine due to the high heat. That's why fresh oil is so important, as it regulates your engine temperature and properly lubricates every part. Changing your oil is a good idea before the summer heat kicks into high gear.
Better Oil Quality
The warm weather can also take a toll on your oil, thinning it out in the heat and breaking it down faster. Rather than suffer the issues of dirty engine oil, it's best to drain it and put a fresh supply i...
