Owning a Buick means driving a vehicle built for performance, reliability, and precision engineering. But like any vehicle, your Buick relies on hundreds of interconnected components that experience wear and tear over time. Without regular maintenance, that wear can lead to reduced efficiency, unexpected breakdowns, and expensive repairs. That’s why Buick provides a recommended service schedule in your owner’s manual – typically centered around major mileage milestones like 30,000, 60,000, and 100,000 miles.
These service intervals aren’t random. They’re based on how long essential systems and fluids are expected to last under typical driving conditions. Following your Buick’s maintenance schedule not only helps extend the life of your vehicle but also protects your fuel economy, preserves resale value, and gives certified technicians the chance to catch minor issues before they become costly repairs.

Every 3 Months
- Check Windshield Wiper Fluid – Keeping your windshield washer fluid topped off ensures clear visibility in rainy, dusty, or pollen-heavy conditions, which is essential for Georgia drivers.
Every 3 – 6 Months
- Change Windshield Wipers – Over time, wiper blades wear out and streak. Replacing them ensures clear, safe visibility during sudden downpours or heavy pollen seasons.
Up to 30,000 Miles
Every 5,000 – 10,000 Miles (or Every 6 Months)
- Change Oil (Synthetic or Synthetic Blend) – Fresh oil keeps your engine lubricated, reducing friction and preventing overheating. Sticking to this schedule improves fuel efficiency and engine performance.
- Rotate Tires – Rotating your tires helps them wear evenly, which can extend their lifespan and maintain optimal traction and handling.
- Check Battery – Regular battery checks ensure your car starts reliably and that no early signs of battery failure are missed.
Every 12,000 – 15,000 Miles
- Align Tires – Proper wheel alignment prevents uneven tire wear, improves handling, and enhances fuel economy.
- Balance Tires – Unbalanced tires can cause vibration, uneven tread wear, and added stress on suspension components.
Every 15,000 – 30,000 Miles
- Replace Cabin Air Filter – A clean cabin air filter improves interior air quality by trapping dust, pollen, and pollutants, which are particularly prevalent during allergy season.
- Replace Engine Air Filter – The engine air filter ensures your engine receives clean air, which aids in fuel combustion and overall performance.
Up to 60,000 Miles
Every 30,000–60,000 Miles
- Transmission Fluid Exchange – Fresh transmission fluid ensures smooth gear shifts and prevents overheating and transmission damage.
- Power Steering Fluid Exchange – Clean power steering fluid keeps your steering responsive and helps prevent leaks or component wear.
- Differential Fluid Exchange – The differential fluid lubricates internal gears. Over time, it can become contaminated, reducing efficiency or causing wear.
Every 45,000 Miles
- Brake Fluid Exchange – Brake fluid attracts moisture, which can lead to corrosion in the braking system. Replacing it improves braking performance and system longevity.
Every 60,000 Miles
- Fuel Induction Service – This service cleans the fuel injectors and throttle body to improve fuel efficiency, restore power, and reduce emissions.
Up to 100,000 Miles
Every 30,000–70,000 Miles
- Replace Brakes – Brake pads and components wear down over time. Replacing them as needed ensures reliable stopping power and avoids damage to rotors.
Every 30,000–85,000 Miles
- Replace Tires – Tire condition significantly impacts your safety. Replacing them when the tread wears out ensures proper traction and handling.
Every 30,000–100,000 Miles
- Change Coolant – Coolant keeps your engine from overheating and prevents freezing in cold weather. Old coolant can become acidic and corrode engine parts.
- Replace Spark Plugs – Worn spark plugs can lead to misfires, poor fuel economy, and difficulty starting the engine. Replacing them restores performance.
Every 60,000–100,000 Miles
- Check the Timing Belt – The timing belt ensures that your engine’s valves and pistons operate in sync. A worn timing belt can break, causing significant engine damage.
- Check the Serpentine Belt – The serpentine belt powers essential components, such as the alternator and power steering. Cracks or fraying signal it’s time to replace it before failure.
Complimentary Multi-Point Inspection
When you bring your vehicle to McCullough NAPA Auto Care for a 30K / 60K or 90K mile service, you’ll also receive a complimentary multi-point inspection. Our technicians will inspect your fluid levels, air filters, battery, lights, tires, belts, hoses, and more. This helps catch potential issues early and gives you peace of mind before your next trip.

Always amazing, fair and very honest.
Jenn Buonanotte
April 22, 2025Just wanted to take a moment and acknowledge the wonderful people at this company. They’ve helped me out a number of times with quick repairs, honest work, and fair prices. They are good people and the shoot you straight every time. They make sure you understand why they are doing what they are doing and exactly what to expect. Someone give Harrison a raise. I’ve called him a number of times and he’s never failed. I’ll be a customer for years to come.

Just completed my first service with McCullough, and I am impressed. I have a CPO 2013 Lexus ES 350 which I have always taken to the dealership for service for the past 8 years. At 150K, I thought it was time to explore less expensive options and more convenient. I interacted with Harrison, who is a true professional and easy to communicate with. Rather than "just do the recommended service", he suggested an oil change and complimentary inspection and then determine what, if any, additional work might need to be done. There was a relatively small amount of additional work which made sense given the age and stage of my vehicle. Pricing was discussed up front and was fair. I live close so after dropping my car off, he and Daniel came to pick me up when the works was done. In this day and age of, as Clark Howard says, "non customer service", I have found McCullough to be the exception that proves Clark's rule. We will be doing more business with them and highly recommend. Adding this after another visit to McCullough NAPA in January 2025: This is my second experience with McCullough and this was just as good as the first one. Brought in my wife's car for an oil change and overall evaluation. Harrison advised we did not need on oil change...how about that, a car place advising what's in the best interest of the customer and not an opportunity to charge for another service. Harrison and team checked out the car and advised us on the vehicle, which will go a long way to our determining if we keep or trade in. The charge was fair and reasonable. We'll be back soon for a service on our other car. Keep up the good work McCullough! Went in for a third experience and Harrison was professional and helpful as always. He pointed out some items to be on the lookout for not pressuring for immediate action. Good to have a heads up for what might be coming down the road. Will back on 6 months, or mileage, for another oil change and tire rotation and overall "health" check.

March 26, 2025My 2012 Genesis needed a new battery, so I looked at various sources and found McCullough NAPA Auto Care reviews to be reassuring and helpful. I am very glad I went there. The lot is crammed with cars to be worked on or awaiting pickup after being serviced, but the gentleman directed me to park near the service doors after I explained my need. He immediately escorted me inside, I completed a work order, and he showed me to the waiting area. I'd say the work took maybe 30 minutes, and the service agent with whom I'd spoken on the phone about a battery, called me to the desk and handed me the keys, thanking me for coming in and directed me to my car waiting in front of the service area. Everyone was very professional, friendly, and careful to explain problems found in customer vehicles, as I overheard with several people who had come in while I was waiting. I would say, aside from friendly, honesty was my strongest impression of this family run business, and I will be back!

Thomas Balkcom
March 23, 2025This was our first repair at McCullough NAPA Auto Repair. They came highly recommended by several neighbors on the Nextdoor app. We had an excellent experience and the price was very competitive. For example, our oil change is usually around $90. and it was around $75. Eric, the owner, called with a quote for the repairs and found an issue with the oil that could have damaged the engine. I was grateful for that and decided to let them do their multi-point inspection. They found a few small issues none of which were super expensive. Then Eric, the owner, called at every milestone of the repair. He was approachable yet professional and to the point. I was always informed on the progress of their work and the car was ready quickly. I would recommend

February 23, 2025I’ve come here twice before and was happy with the work. But when picking my car up on the third visit I learned that my bill was more than double the price that was initially quoted to me (+$2,800 instead of $1,300), which was a substantial difference for me. The shock of learning this when pulling out my wallet to pay at the front-desk was very embarrassing to say the least! They did a good job, but my advice if you bring your vehicle here is to make sure to learn more about your quoted price. In my case, when I asked the cost, I was quoted roughly $1,300 but apparently, as my bill would show, I was only quoted the cost of “parts”. If this distinction was make known to me then I would have made an informed decision based on the price of “labor” as well.
