It’s Time For Buick To Crossover
August 10, 2017
Sedans Are So Old News
While there will always be a market for luxury sedans, Buick understands that our customers are a big driving force for what we see at our Buick dealership. What a lot of people might not know is that we have been embracing crossovers since before this new vehicle type started dominating automobile sales. It’s a big reason we have been so successful.
Jim Bennett is a third-generatio dealership owner in New York. He says “Those days are gone,” in regards to long-lost Buick sedans. He adds “It has brought in a new generation. You get people who say, ‘I can’t believe I’m buying a Buick.’ And quality has been excellent.” Well, we must disagree that sedans are long gone—there just won’t be as many as before. But we are looking forward to the future of this crossover craze. As of fall 2017, the Buick LaCrosse will remain as one of our Buick sedans. We’ll see a wagon and hatchback style in the new 2018 Buick Regal.
Crossover With Us At Master Buick GMC
The future of the automotive world is moving in the direction of bigger sized SUVs and CUVs. That might mean fewer Buick sedans to choose from but of course there will always be pre-owned sedans to choose from. What’s to come leaves us with a bit of excitement, too. We hope you are willing to crossover with us here at Master Buick GMC! Stay up to date online at www.masterbuickgmc.com.

When Rodents Attack
August 9, 2017
When Your Vehicle Is Their Friend
Engine compartments can be a nice little escape for rodents, especially mice or chipmunks. During winter, they might go for warmth. Sometimes they’re just in there to find a quick way to sharpen their teeth… on your hoses and wires! But often they smell food inside your vehicle. No matter what’s the reason, leaking fluids, stalled vehicles and electrical issues can be the aftermath. That’s why our Buick dealership has these tips to help prevent visitors.
1. When you're snacking on the go, clean up any crumbs and don’t leave packaging behind. Rodents can smell from afar and they can make their way in from the engine compartment to get a sweet treat on the seat.
2. Seeing acorns or droppings around your vehicle might be indication that something has been lurking around. Parking near a wooded area, even if it’s in a garage, could lead to more rodents checking things out so know the signs.
3. If for whatever reason you don’t drive your vehicle often, it’s a good idea to take it out for a spin just to make sure it’s not a sitting duck for furry friends to call home.
4. Using traps or moth balls around the outside of the vehicle is a good way to keep critters away. Especially if you have no choice but to park by the woods.
When In Doubt, Have Master Buick GMC Check Things Out
Augusta Master Buick GMC knows it’s hard to avoid some things, especially when it comes to nature. Things happen and that’s why we are here to help. If you think a rodent has been bunking up in your ride, bring it over to see us so we can check things out. You can quickly schedule a Service appointment at www.masterbuickgmc.com.

Donut Stress, Master Buick GMC Has Got You Covered
August 8, 2017
Belair Donuts
Ok guys and gals. You can order online and they even have a drive thru! Homemade, fresh donuts and coffee with the friendliest staff. Augusta Master Buick GMC definitely suggests their signature maple frosted bacon donut and Cro-Dos, a fried and glazed croissant. They sell out so get there early.
Kim’s Donuts
This go-to has amazing donuts and other baked goods. Get a little bit of everything because it will be hard to choose between apple fritter, maple bacon, cinnamon sugar, honey bun and cheese danish. We hope you can’t see our mouths watering right now.
Krispy Kreme
Are you a hot or cold donut kind of person? I mean, we’re both but it’s hard to resist stopping into Krispy Kreme when the “hot and ready” sign is on. Talk about melt in your mouth delicious. The only hot donuts you can get here are glazed but sometimes an original is all you need for that sweet tooth craving.
We Donut Know What You’d Do Without Master Buick GMC
When it comes to picking the right dealership for your needs, Master Buick GMC has got you covered. Our Sales Team will help you weigh pros and cons to decide which vehicle works best. Our Augusta automotive Finance Team is here to help you fit it in your budget. And when it’s time for your first oil change, our Service Department will get you in and out in a jiffy. The only request we have is checking us out at www.masterbuickgmc.com and maybe bringing an extra dozen on your next visit.

“Yukon” Do It All With This Beast
August 7, 2017
In With The New
We’ve always loved what the Yukon has to offer but the upgrades for 2016 make it better than ever. It’s still luxurious, it’s still affordable, and it’s still the best family sized SUV we have. Its IntelliLink system is much quicker now and the Apple CarPlay feature is available this year. A hands-free power liftgate and capless fuel filter are standard for the 2016 SLT. Lane-keeping assist and automatic high beams are new add-on options available as well.
Packed With Power
Something large needs a lot of power to get the job done. The 2016 Yukon won’t disappoint. It has a rugged body-on-frame with towing capabilities unlike any other in the same class. We can thank the 5.3-liter V8 engine for that. It’s powerful yet quiet and smooth on the road. It has an adaptive suspension system that you’ll love and the old-school rear axle you might have been used to with our older models.
You don’t have to push it to the max to enjoy its power. It runs smooth even with the maximum 9 passengers and a trunk full of cargo. The space behind the third row is larger than any other SUV, even our standard, non XL Yukon. You can truly fit everyone plus some in the XL version. Adding a boat or camper on the back for the weekend? No problem.
Master Buick GMC
This is just the beginning of what the 2016 Yukon has to offer. And if you’re looking for something new, our 2017 is even better. Master Buick GMC looks forward to answering all of your questions and taking you for a spin in one of our new or used cars Augusta GA.

Shifting Our Mindset To This New Idea
August 4, 2017
Well, What Is It?
It’s Electronic Precision Shift, or EPS. Don’t confuse it with the other EPS, or Electric Power Steering. This button-and-switch system is the second of its kind and we’re lucky enough to have it in our 2018 GMC Terrain.
Just The Push Of A Button
Say goodbye to the gear shift stick and say hello to easy and intuitive buttons and switches. The EPS system is found at the bottom of the center stack in the 2018 Terrain. It’s set up from left to right, rather than top to bottom. You’ll have park, reverse, neutral, drive and low selectors that will control the nine-speed automatic transmission. The reverse and drive functions are power-window control-like switches but the others are simple push buttons.
So What Happens If…
- While driving, park is pushed - If traveling over 3 mph, a message appears saying that function is not possible but nothing happens with the transmission. If traveling 3 mph or under, the emergency brake will engage first then the vehicle shifts into park.
- While highway driving, a passenger pulls the reverse switch - The vehicle will automatically switch into neutral.
- While the vehicle is parked & running, you put it in reverse - The emergency brake engages then it switches to park. If the vehicle is off and left in reverse, the system will automatically switch it into park.
See It Soon At Master Buick GMC
Master Buick GMC looks forward to being able to share this new feature with our Augusta Master Buick GMC family! Keep checking back in with us or visiting www.masterbuickgmc.com to see when our 2018 Terrain inventory arrives.

Emergency Vehicle Essentials To Stock Year Round
August 3, 2017
Keep These Handy
- Water and Snacks - You never know how long you might be stuck waiting for help so having snacks and a big bottle of water for each person traveling is essential. Extreme temperatures, hot or cold, can be deadly if stranded too long.
- Light sticks and warning triangles - Making sure other motorists see you is important, whether it be daytime or night. Best part of these tools? No batteries are necessary!
- Tire Pressure Gauge - Tires can become over-inflated if it’s too hot, or under-inflated if cold. Driving with over or under-inflated can be very dangerous so make sure to have a gauge handy at all times. Schedule service at Augusta Master Buick GMC so we can check your pressure before heading out.
- Phone charger - If you don’t have a USB port in your vehicle grab a cigarette lighter charger in case you need to call for help.
- Other Basic Tools - A screwdriver, utility knife and torque wrench are three of the most basic and useful tools to keep handy.
Let Master Buick GMC Help You Prep
We know preparing for a road trip can be a lot or work but that’s why Master Buick GMC wants to help. Bring your vehicle in for a tune-up and we can help you pack the essential tools. Better yet, buy one of our new or used cars Augusta GA with OnStar so you won’t have to worry about getting stuck alone. Visit us at www.masterbuickgmc.com to schedule an appointment.

Let’s Meet The Buick LaCrosse

There’s also ventilated front seats with a massaging feature!

Give Back With GMC
July 27, 2017
Veterans Of Our Armed Forces Deserve The Best
When Veterans come home from deployment, it’s not always a happy welcome. There are way too many catastrophically injured service members whose homes no longer meet their needs. Due to their injuries, simple tasks like doing laundry or making the bed are nearly impossible. Each and every person has special needs so their homes need to be unique as well.
Coming home and not being able to live a normal life is something we hate hearing about. What’s even harder to hear is that these heroes are being waitlisted for new homes that are tailored to their needs. Well, we are so excited that GMC has decided to partner with Building for America’s Bravest to lend a helping hand to the veterans as they learn to gain their independence and transition into civilian life again. Together we will be building 200+ homes for these deserving recipients. The program is part of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
So far in the last 4 years there have been 22 specialized homes built. But that’s nowhere near close to what’s needed. There are hundreds of injured still on the waitlist, ready to move into new homes. Thankfully, 22 more projects were recently approved for construction! Our Buick dealership is grateful to be able to join forces to enlist others to help unlist our admirable heroes.
How You Can Help Master Buick GMC
If you’re interested in hearing more about how you can help, visit us at Master Buick GMC. We are asking our employees, customers, enthusiasts and anyone else to help with the task of building more of these much-needed smart homes. Any little or big donation is greatly appreciated. We look forward to you stopping in! Our hours of operation are listed at www.masterbuickgmc.com.

The Psychology Of Color
July 26, 2017
Consumers Drive The Market
That’s right, consumers are the ones who drive the market when it comes to colors you see at dealerships. According to Kelley Blue Book, our automakers pick their new colors depending on what the consumer wants. This is why white, silver and black are the most seen in our marketplace. KBB also fund that “39 percent of consumers were likely to change brands if they couldn't get the color they wanted.” This shows how important it is for us to get things right so we don’t watch out customers walk into the dealership next door.
How Does Color Affect Resale?
Picking a color that’s more popular will definitely help when it comes time to say goodbye to your prized possession. Not only will you sell the vehicle at a more fair price, it will most likely go quicker, too. If you decide to step out of the box and get a color like lime green or pink, you’re going to have some trouble. These types of colors that are less popular will definitely depreciate the value of the vehicle so make sure to think ahead when you’re making a color decision.
You Mean To Tell Me That’s Not True?
You’ve probably always thought that red vehicles get pulled over by police more often than other for speeding tickets. Wrong. White takes the cake on this one, then red, grey and silver. Did you know that insurance doesn’t cost more for those same red vehicles but it does cost more to make them? That’s because they fade quicker so a special top coat has to be sprayed on to protect bright colors. Augusta Master Buick GMC’s most favorite interesting fact is that thieves prefer black, gold, green, silver and white vehicles.
Master Buick GMC Is Bound To Have The Right Color For You
Are you the type of vehicle shopper who has a color preference on their list? Whether you do or don’t, Master Buick GMC has a wide range of options to choose from. Same goes for our vehicle selection. Find everything you need to know about us at www.masterbuickgmc.com.

Guys and gals… this truck is open 24 hours on Saturdays! Can’t get much better than that. The Brown Bag is Augusta’s first food truck, popping from street corner to street corner since 2011.

Oh, and uniformed service members tend to get extra punches, as well.

Check Out The Trim Levels Of The 2017 GMC Terrain
July 24.,2017
Five Trim Levels Including the SL, SLE-1, SLE-2, SLT and Denali
The SL is a great option if you’re looking for a base model with great standard features. Some of the tech components include a 7” touchscreen, USB port, auxiliary audio jack, OnStar, Bluetooth phone connectivity and a 6-speaker sound system. It comes with rear privacy glass, 18” alloy wheels, a rearview camera, auto-dimming rearview mirror, cruise control, power height-adjustable driver seat and tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel.
Stepping things up to the SLE-1 trim adds heated mirrors and satellite radio with all-wheel drive as an add-on option. A leather-wrapped steering wheel, automatic climate control, 8-way power driver seat, LED daytime running lights, GM IntelliLink system and 8-speaker sound system are added in the SLE-2. The IntelliLink system features Bluetooth audio, compatibility with smartphone apps like Stitcher and Pandora, as well as voice controls. The addition of the Convenience package will let you enjoy heated front seats and remote engine start. The SLT model comes standard with this package but also has perforated leather upholstery, chrome exterior accents and ambient interior lighting.
A Driver Alert package is available in the SLE-2 and SLT trims. The first level features blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, an adjustable power liftgate and rear parking sensors. If you like the idea of forward-collision and lane-departure alerts you will want to go with the second level. The SLT also has a Memory package if you want driver memory settings and an 8-way power passenger seat. New to 2017 is the Nightfall package. This is available in the SLT and SLE-2 adding spiffy 18” wheels and gloss-black exterior accents.
Want all the bells and whistles? The Denali is where it’s at. Everything the SLT features will come with the Denali. It also boasts Denali-specific exterior and interior trim, exclusive comfort-oriented suspension and 19” wheels. Ask Master automotive about the Driver Alert I and II, as well as Memory packages that are available with the Denali model.

Living Large In The New Denali Style 2017 GMC Canyon
July 20, 2017
Aim Small, Miss Small… But This Was No Miss
Mel Gibson taught his sons in The Patriot to aim small, miss small. Well, GMC aimed to make a smaller sized pickup, even though it’s in the midsize class, but they sure as heck didn’t miss small here. The Denali trim has quickly claimed “top dog” amongst other trim levels such as the base, SL, SLE and SLT. This years Canyon is about a half-a-foot longer and half-a-foot wider than the previous. It’s also a foot-and-a-half shorter and 5” narrower than it’s cousin, the Sierra.
What’s On The Inside
The Canyon gets a few standards special for the Denali trim. They include chrome-arrific touches like the sidesteps, heated and ventilated seats, unique 20” wheels, automatic climate control, Bose sound system, leather, heated steering wheel and spray-on bed liner. The front is unique, in that it boasts the trademarked Denali grille. Other features to love are 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot-spot capability, a large touch screen for the infotainment system, satellite radio capability, 4 USB ports and a navigation.
If you’re looking for a pickup with great performance, the 2017 Canyon Denali is one to see. It’s capable of towing 7,000 lbs thanks to the 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 engine. Of course, you get the bumpy truck kind of ride thanks to the 20” rims and leaf-spring rear suspension. However, the cabin is relatively quiet and the acceleration is very quick.

We Dare You To Take Our Street Sign Quiz
July 19, 2017
Do you think you’ve got what it takes to pass Master Buick GMC’s street sign quiz? Our Buick dealership did but boy did we realize we needed a refresher. Knowing your street signs at a quick glance is important for not only your own safety but others on the road as well. Most often the signs are a combination of symbols, pictures, colors and words, so they can be confusing. Let’s see how well you do.
A little game of true or false:
1. You are not supposed to speed up if you see a higher speed limit ahead of you.
2. Panther, cattle, deer and bighorn sheep signs exist.
3. When you see a red octagon with STOP written in white it’s okay to roll through the intersection.
4. An orange sign warns of hot temperatures in the area.
5. Black arrows in a circle on a yellow sign mean you’re approaching a circular intersection.
6. Blue sign on a highway are not for warnings but service.
7. A triangular shaped sign means you are entering a school zone.
8. A yellow diamond with a vehicle and squiggly lines behind it means the road is slippery when wet.
The answers:
1. True. State laws say you are to keep the same speed until you’ve actually reached the speed limit sign.
2. True. Have you noticed any near Augusta Master? These signs are typically only in certain regions of the US but watch out for panther warning signs in Florida, bighorn sheep in Arizona and cattle across other parts of the country.
3. False. If you see this sign at a white line, or before the intersection if no line, you must always come to a complete stop.
4. False. Orange colored signs warn of temporary conditions such as road work, reduced speed or detours.
5. True. Prepare for a rotary, traffic circle or roundabout ahead. Stop or yield according to the signs and if there are no signs present, always yield to vehicles inside the circular intersection.
6. True. Street signs are always color-coded. Blue typically points out gas stations or hospitals, indicates tourist information and informs drivers of evacuation routes.
7. False. A pentagon shaped sign means you’re approaching a school zone. Slow down and be aware of children in the area.
8. True. A yellow sign means warning and this one in particular means the roads are slippery when wet so take caution.

Time To Get Away From Augusta
July 18, 2017
1. Why Not Stay Home - Take a staycation! There’s so much to do close to home. Ever think about staying in and watching Netflix with pizza take out? Or maybe catching up with old friends you haven't seen in awhile.
2. Book A Cruise - There’s a Disney cruise perfect for kids, Caribbean to sit on a beach and Alaskan to take in the scenery. Cruises are a great way to see the world and not have to worry about much planning. Just hop on the ship and the days are mostly organized for you! Enjoy the fun on board when you’re out at sea but explore when you’re on land. You really do get the best of both worlds.
3. Head Out On A Road Trip - We are lucky enough to live in the greatest country in the world. You’ll never see everything it has to offer in a lifetime but why not see as much as you can on road trips? Plan out the route ahead of time so you can visit friends and catch events in various cities. Maybe you want to do half the country this time. Or maybe you plan something longer to go East to West. No matter how short or far you go, bring your vehicle into Augusta Master for a quick tune-up before heading out on the open road.
4. Go Camping - Turn off the cell, pack up the tent and don’t forget the s’more makings! Camping can be a great activity for peace and quiet and exploring what nature has to offer. If you’re not into bugs and dirt, rent a cabin or camper for a glamping experience. We promise you won’t regret it!
5. Go On A Food Excursion - Are you a foodie craving something new? Plan a food excursion! Maybe you stay close to home and head over to Charleston. If you’re feeling more adventurous you could head to Texas for BBQ and authentic Mexican. Wherever you go, save a goodybag for your friends over at Master Buick GMC.

Have You Seen Inside Our 2017 Acadia Yet?
July 17, 2017
Who Doesn’t Love A Complete Redesign
For 2017 the Acadia went on a bit of a diet. She lost weight, got shorter and narrower. You can now choose a 4-cylinder in addition to the available V6. The smaller size is a bit easier to maneuver and has improved fuel economy.
Our GMC dealership finds that storage space is important to most families checking out SUV’s. The 2017 Acadia has the expected trunk behind the third row of seats but when they are folded down, there’s even more room. Thanks to the remote-release second row of seats, you can fold them flat to move larger items. Oh, did we mention it can tow up to 4,000 lbs too? Feel free to hook up that boat for a weekend at the lake.
Comfort is key in any vehicle. Luckily the Acadia is very comfortable whether on a road trip or daily driving. The suspension system proves to be a smooth and quiet ride and it drives more like a sedan than a truck. If you’re a technology wiz you’ll enjoy the infotainment system. It’s much easier to use now, with minimal knobs and other buttons on the dash. We’ve found the Bluetooth pairing to be quick and simple to use and don’t forget about the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that’s available.
What We Recommend
Augusta automotive suggests the base SL trim level if you’re looking for an SUV that holds a lot of passengers but is reasonably priced. You don’t get all the bells and whistles but the standard amenities are still impressive. The SLE2 trim is nice with the addition of a V6 as well as Driver Alert package. If you don’t mind going up in price, there’s a full list of add-ons to choose from that bring this bad boy into the luxury SUV category.
See Inside And Out At Master Buick GMC
We know this is just a hair of what the 2017 Acadia has to offer. Set some time aside for a test drive at Master Buick GMC so we can show you the ins and outs. Our new and preowned vehicle inventory can also be found at www.masterbuickgmc.com.

GMC debuts “Like A Pro” Ad Campaign
July 13, 2017
GMC vehicles are designed, engineered and built to a higher standard, establishing a strong reputation with the “We Are Professional Grade.”
Describing the campaign, GMC marketing director Rich Latek said, “Our owners are dedicated individuals, respected by their peers, whose passion and abilities set them apart. Their values reflect our ‘Professional Grade’ spirit and we look forward to bringing that emotional connection to life. And we’re excited to show how we think our customers live their lives like pros.”
Like A Pro Ads
GMC Denali trucks and SUVs are features in the new ad campaign. Denali is the top of the line of the Professional Grade. The campaign also debuts the all-new GMC Terrain, which launches later this summer. Terrain joins the popular GMC Acadia in the GMC SUV lineup.
The lead ad, “How Do You Want To Live — Anthem,” showcases those who reach higher in everything they do. “Dad Like A Pro” made its debut on Father’s Day. This spot provides an inside look at the relationship between a real-life father and his son. “Third Row Like A Pro” will be added in July. This spot showcases a parent making full use of the versatility and capability of the GMC Acadia. In unique time-lapsed editing, you see the driver manage three rows and three sports with ease.

Green Your Buick or GMC
July 12, 2017
Tire Checks – Proper tire pressure can improve gas mileage by about 3 percent. Make sure to check your vehicle’s tire pressure at least once monthly - and remember to check the spare! If tires are not properly inflated, they’ll have more rolling resistance which makes the engine work harder. Did you know tires lose pressure due to seasonal temperature changes? Did you also know that your tire can lose up to half its inflation pressure and not appear to be flat? If you don’t have a tire gauge, bring your vehicle to our Augusta dealership so we can check your tire pressure.
Gas Caps – A loose, cracked or damaged gas cap will allow gas vapors to escape, wasting fuel and increasing vehicle emissions.
Fill-Ups- Don’t top off the gas tank! When gassing up, remember to stop when the nozzle shuts off. In addition to preventing vapors from escaping, your tank needs a little extra room to allow the gasoline to expand.
A/C Maintenance and Use – Make sure to get your air conditioner inspected annually. The technician will test the operation, refrigerant charge and outlet temperatures. Additionally, if it’s not too hot, use the window to help keep the car cool. Park in the shade and use a windshield protector.
Keeps Filters Clean – Replace your car’s fuel filter every two years or 24,000 miles. It’s also a good idea to have your fuel injectors flushed out every 30,000 miles. Doing these two things will make your vehicle greener and will also save you money at the pump.
Emission systems – Have your oxygen sensor checked. Replacing a faulty oxygen sensor can improve gas mileage by around 40%.
Bring Your Vehicle to Master Buick GMC For Servicing

2018 Yukon Denali Features New 10-Speed Transmission
July 6, 2017
According to Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global GMC, “Yukon Denali has always matched style with substance, and the enhancements for 2018 advance that legacy. The foundational elements of exclusive design, premium touches and uncompromising capability have made Yukon Denali an icon for nearly 20 years.”
Multi-Dimensional Grille Design
Matt Noone, director, Global GMC Exterior Design, said “The new grille, which is flanked by HID headlamps and LED Signature Lighting, advances the design legacy established with the very first Yukon Denali in 1999. It’s a more exciting and sophisticated design, while remaining instantly recognizable as part of the GMC Denali family.” In addition to its more sophisticated appearance, the new grille offers greater airflow to the radiator. For enhanced efficiency, specially designed shutters behind the grille close under certain conditions on the highway to reduce aerodynamic drag.
Performance
Efficiency is further enhanced by the 420-hp 6.2L V-8 engine with direct injection and Active Fuel Management. The 7.39 gear ratio spread also contributes to greater efficiency and allows the 6.2L V-8 engine to deliver a winning combination of smooth operation and precise response. Magnetic Ride Control improves body motion control.

The All-New 2018 Buick Enclave Has Improved Towing Capability
July 4, 2017
“Enclave was introduced as a game-changer for the Buick brand and has since become one of our most successful and important vehicles. It set the tone for a more progressive Buick, helping change perception for us and serving as the standard-bearer of what our products stand for: smart, stylish luxury,” according to Duncan Aldred, vice president, Global Buick and GMC.
Helen Emsley, executive director of Global Buick and GMC Design, said, “Every detail of the all-new Enclave is designed to feel premium, well-crafted and integrated. Customers in feedback clinics have described it as having a ‘sleek’ appearance, which isn’t typically a word associated with three-row SUVs.”
Enclave Features
The 2018 Enclave comes with a comprehensive array of standard and available safety technology. Its all-new body structure was built for safety and strength. Seventeen radar, camera and ultrasonic sensors come on the fully equipped Enclave. There’s more cargo space behind the first row than the Acura MDX, Audi Q7 and Infiniti QX60. The new towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds is more than adequate to tow a standard 21-foot sport boat.

2018 Buick LaCrosse Adds eAssist For More Efficient Performance
June 29, 2017
The new eAssist System
When paired with the four-cylinder engine, the eAssist system has a 19 percent increase in city fuel economy compared to the LaCrosse’s advanced V-6 engine. Its compact lithium-ion battery pack provides many of the best benefits found in fully electric vehicles, such as torque-assisted launch, energy-saving regenerative braking and exceptionally smooth stop/start.
“Executing innovative technologies in an approachable and meaningful way is core to Buick,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president, Global Buick and GMC. “By adding the eAssist system to the LaCrosse, our technology flagship, we are making electrification accessible to our customers as we chart our course to the future of mobility."
2018 LaCrosse Features
Other updates to the #2018BuickLaCrosse include more availability of all-wheel drive and an all-new nine-speed automatic transmission for V-6 models. This transmission will provide customers with a smooth and refined shifting experience. By Spring 2018, five Buick models will offer this advanced transmission. Buick’s intelligent all-wheel drive system with active twin clutch will be available on the Essence trim level.
New Colors
The 2018 LaCrosse will have three new exterior color options: Satin Steel Metallic, Dark Slate Metallic and Red Quartz Tintcoat.

Five Car Noises You Need to Listen To!
June 28, 2017
Here are five noises that might be warning signs of car trouble:
1. Brakes squealing, grinding or growling - This could mean your brake pads or shoes need to be replaced. Stay safe! If your brakes grind or growl, get them checked out immediately.
2. A finger-snapping, popping or clicking sound when you turn - If you have a front-wheel-drive or all-wheel drive vehicle and you hear this sound when you turn or corner, but not when you drive in a straight line, it means one or both of the constant velocity (CV) joints on your front axle might need to be replaced.
3. A sound like a coin in a clothes dryer - If you hear something rattling around inside a wheel at low speeds, which stops as you drive faster, it could be a loose lug nut inside a hub cap. This means your wheel wasn’t tightened properly. Bring your vehicle to Master Buick GMC ASAP!
4. A rhythmic squeak that speeds up as you accelerate - If you have rear-wheel or four-wheel drive, it could be the universal joint (U-joint). These are components of the driveshaft and are found in pairs. This should be checked by a mechanic immediately.
5. Rhythmic clunking, tapping or banging from under the hood - This could indicate a serious problem with valves, connecting rods or pistons. See our Master Buick GMC mechanics right away!
Our Master Buick GMC Service Technicians Are The Best!
When you need service, we hope you’ll bring your GMC vehicle to our Master Buick GMC service department. Our factory-trained technicians are always ready to help.

Tips for Traveling Safely with Your Pets
June 21, 2017
Crate Your Pet
It’s always safest for your dog and/or cat to travel in the car in a crate that has been anchored to the vehicle with a seatbelt or other secure means. Dog restraints keep your dog from roaming and distracting the driver, but they don’t protect dogs during a crash.
Cats also belong in carriers. Most cats aren't comfortable traveling in cars, so they feel more secure in a carrier. It's also important to secure these carriers in the car so that they don't bounce and cause injury to your cat. Do this by putting a seat belt around the front of the carrier.
Pets Should Ride in Back Seat
Pets should ride in the back seat of the car. In the event of a collision, a pet could be injured by an airbag deployment, even if in a crate.
Keep Pets Inside The Vehicle & Windows Closed
Dogs and cats need to stay safely inside the car. While dogs love to stick their heads out the window, they can be injured by flying debris or particles. It’s very important never to transport a pet in the bed of an open pickup truck.
Make Frequent Stops
Stop frequently so your pet can exercise and go to the bathroom. Always make sure your pet is wearing a collar, ID tag and leash.
Don’t Leave Pets Alone In The Car
Don’t ever leave your pets alone in the car! A quick pit stop may feel short to you, but it's too long to leave your pet alone in the car, especially when it’s warm. Heat is a killer! A mild 72 degree Fahrenheit day can cause the temperature inside your car to heat up to 116 degrees Fahrenheit within an hour. On an 85-degree day, even with the windows slightly open, the temperature inside your car can reach 102 degrees in just 10 minutes.

2017 Sierra 2500 HD Provide More Hauling Capability
June 20, 2017
What’s New
The 2017 Sierra HD’s major update is an upgrade to its powerful Duramax turbo-charged diesel engine. Many options exist for customizing your Sierra, including the choice of rear- or four-wheel-drive and the choice of a gas or diesel V-8 engine. You can also choose one of three cab and bed configurations.
Trim Levels
Trim choices start with the popular entry-level Sierra, followed by the slightly higher SLE, the upper-level SLT and the ultimate top-of-the-line Denali. Standard safety features include GM’s StabiliTrak stability control system with roll avoidance, as well as four-wheel anti-lock brakes. A passenger sensing and infant-only suppression system also helps minimize injuries.
OnStar
GM’s OnStar provides automatic crash response, stolen vehicle and roadside assistance and turn-by-turn navigation and comes standard on the SLE and higher models for the first six months of ownership. The Sierra also offers built-in 4G LTE connectivity on most trims.

Hopelands Gardens Offers A Great Day Escape
June 19, 2017
Hopelands Gardens
As you enter the #HopelandsGardens, you’ll immediately be transported to a timeless world. As you stroll among the magnificent old trees towering over the main entrance path, you’ll catch glimpses of grassy fields, flower beds, magnolia trees and an old horse stable. Many miles of paths take you through the wide variety of environments within the park. There are ponds, fountains, wetlands, old houses, museums, amphitheaters, a labyrinth and even a rope swing. There is also a touch-and-feel walkway with Braille signs.
Museums on the property include the Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame, the Dollhouse and the Carriage Museum. This 14-acre estate was bequeathed to the City of Aiken by Mrs. C. Oliver Iselin on her death at the age of 102. It opened in 1969 as a public garden. The 100-year-old live oaks, believed to have been planted by Mrs. Iselin, shade the network of paths. The gardens are open year-round from 10:00 a.m. until sunset. Garden sites are also available for rental for weddings and other events.

Five Signs You Need New Tires
June 14, 2017
Here Are Some Things To Look For:
1. Bulges, gouges or cracks. When a tire deflates, bulges appear on the side. Bulges indicate low tire pressure or a slow air leak. If you see any cracks in the sidewall or anything that doesn’t look right, bring your vehicle to our MasterBuick GMC Service department as soon as possible.
2. Tread wear. We recommend the old penny test. Place a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head pointing down. If you can see the top of his head, the tread is too low. You can also check the wear bars on your tires. If you see the wear bars poking out across the grooves, it’s time to replace your tires.
3. Tire pressure. Tires deflate about one pound per square inch per month so make sure your tires are at the proper pressure every month.
4. Temperature Changes. In summer, excessive heat builds up in the tire, causing it to wear out more quickly.
5. Vibration. Pay attention to any type of vibration or thumping. If you think it’s coming from under the seats, it indicates the rear tires may need balancing. Vibration from the steering wheel might indicate suspension issues. If you’re not getting a smooth ride, take your Buick or GMC to our #MasterBuickGMC dealership for a check-up.
Is it time to replace your tires?
If any of your tires need replacing, it’s best to replace your tires in pairs or all four at the same time for better performance and a safer ride. Our Master Buick GMC Service department will give you their best recommendation.
Bring Your Buick or GMC to Master Buick GMC For Great Service

New Technology Upgrades on 2017 Buick Encore
June 13, 2017
Other Features
The gorgeous interior is outfitted with leather seats and soft touch materials, a premium Bose audio system and the ability to run selected smartphone apps via Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An 8-inch touchscreen makes it easy to navigate. OnStar's 4G LTE data connection creates a WiFi network inside the car so you can stay connected while on the road.
Engine and Transmissions
All trim levels are powered by a turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Two different tunings are offered to provide different levels of performance and responsiveness. The higher horsepower makes merging and passing easier and safer. It also provides quicker acceleration from a stop. The all-wheel-drive models deliver a smooth ride. If you do a lot of bad-weather or off-road driving, the Buick's optional all-wheel drive is a must-have for traction.
Interior Flexibility
One of the Encore’s strengths is in its versatility. The back seat folds down easily and the front passenger seat can fold, too. This creates the possibility for many different passenger and storage needs.

Extending the Life of Your Fuel Pump
June 7, 2017
What Happens When You Run On Empty
Running on empty has negative consequences for your vehicle, especially your fuel pump. When your tank is nearly empty, it allows air to enter the fuel pump, causing it to wear out prematurely. In addition, when the fuel level is below one-quarter full, the dirt that settles at the bottom of the fuel tank can more easily make its way to the fuel line. Once it’s there, it can easily enter the engine, causing all kinds of trouble. You’ll save money in the long run by not running on empty!
Avoid Being Stranded
You’ll also have the peace of mind knowing you won’t run out of gas in a remote location. Extreme weather conditions can present potentially dangerous situations. Why take the chance of running out of gas late at night out in the country without cell phone service? Always make sure you have more than enough fuel to take you where you’re going. Stay safe and don’t let the gas gauge fall below one-quarter of a tank.

The 2018 Buick Regal Sportback Midsize 5-Door Hatch - Sporty & Versatile
June 1, 2017
Hatchback Sales Increasing
According to IHS Markit, sales of hatchbacks have been growing in the U.S. as buyers see the advantage of added utility for hauling cargo when the seats are folded down. IHS Markit says hatchback sales totaled 640,000 units in 2011, grew to 746,000 in 2015 and are expected to reach 791,000 by 2020.
Utility
The 2018 Regal features 60.7 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats folded down. That’s enough for a full-sized cruiser bicycle. When the seats are folded up, four passengers can ride comfortably. There aren’t many cars these days that can perform both of these tasks.

Do You Know Someone Interested In A Future In Car Repair?
May 31, 2017
Are you or anyone in your family considering a career change? Do you know a student graduating from high school who is not excited about going to college? If so, a future in automotive repair might be a field to consider.
Technology Is A New Skill in Car Repair
These days, automobile technicians often use a laptop more often than a wrench to diagnose and fix your vehicle. While it’s still important to know how to repair brakes, transmissions and engines, under-the-hood repairs also require technicians to understand and repair software, sensors, cameras and electronics. Employers like our #MasterBuickGMC dealership are looking for technicians who are fluent in technology and who also love auto repair. Not too many years down the road, it’s easy to see that autonomous vehicles will be more and more prevalent. This will add another dimension to traditional auto repair training. Now is a great time to seize this opportunity to get in on the ground floor in the exciting and expanding field of auto care.
Opportunities for Women
Each year, trade associations like Women in Auto Care are awarding large scholarships to women enrolling in auto repair programs. With a two-year degree and mechanic’s license, many careers are available, such as self-employment in a repair shop, teaching or working for parts makers and distributors.
Our Master Buick GMC Service Department Is Simply The Best!
Let our professionally trained service staff service your Buick or GMC. You can conveniently make your appointment online at www.masterbuickgmc.com. Any time you’re in the market for a new vehicle, we’ve got a great selection of the latest GMC and Buick models and Certified Preowned vehicles. We’d love to be your one-stop dealership! We specialize in Augusta car sales. Our family-owned GMC Buick dealership has been serving the Augusta area for nearly 80 years.

How To Make Your Buick or GMC Fuel Pump Last Longer
May 23, 2017
Our Master Buick GMC dealership in Augusta wants to help you keep your vehicle running smoothly. Our Service department is here to service your vehicle. We recommend following a regular maintenance schedule. In addition, there are some easy things you can do to avoid costly automotive repairs. Today's tip from Master Buick GMC is to avoid running your vehicle on empty! Make sure to fill-up when you get to the one-quarter mark.
Here's Why
We've all experienced that moment when the gas indicator light comes on, often accompanied by an audible warning. We feel lucky if there's a gas station nearby, but the fact of the matter is that we shouldn't even be running so close to empty in the first place. Running on empty can actually have negative consequences for your vehicle. For starters, it causes extra wear on your fuel pump. That's because the more empty your tank is, the more air can enter the fuel pump, exposing it to premature wear. In addition, when the fuel level is below one-quarter full, the dirt that settles at the bottom of your vehicle's tank is more likely to make its way to the fuel line then through the engine. Save yourself money in the long run by not running on empty!
Avoid Being Stranded
Another reason to keep your gas tank filled is that extreme weather conditions can present potentially life-threatening situations. You don't want to take the chance of running out of gas in the hot desert or late at night in a bad part of town. Always make sure you have more than enough fuel to take you from Point A to Point B. Be safe and don't let the gas gauge fall below one-quarter of a tank.
Master Buick GMC Has An Outstanding Service Department
You shouldn't trust your vehicle to just anyone. Bring it to #MasterBuickGMC in Augusta, where our highly qualified Service technicians will take care of your vehicle like it's their own.

GMC won Kelley Blue Book's 2017 Brand Image Award for Most Refined Brand for the fourth consecutive year. Come to our Master Buick GMC dealership in Atlanta where we have a complete inventory of SUVs and trucks. You're sure to find your perfect vehicle!
The Brand Image Award
Brand Image Award winners are determined by consumer automotive perception data from the Strategic Insight's Brand Watch Study done by Kelley Blue Book. The Brand Watch online brand and model perception tracking study follows more than 12,000 in-market new-vehicle shoppers annually on KBB.com. Their comprehensive study provides insight into how shoppers identify the factors that influence their decision to purchase a particular brand. The study also captures customer brand/model loyalty, as well as brand familiarity.
Jack Nerad, executive editorial director for Kelley Blue Book, says, "GMC's "Professional Grade" ideology has struck a resonant chord with consumers, and that's reflected in car buyers visiting Kelley Blue Book's website, KBB.com, naming GMC 2017's Most Refined Brand. The extra attention to design and detail found across GMC's lineup has clearly resonated with American consumers."
In the past four years, Kelley Blue Book has recognized the #Denali, GMC's top of the line premium vehicles, for elevating the brand's overall perception among consumers. Kelley Blue Book's findings show that consumers recognize GMC trucks and SUV's professional grade capability and exceptional features and technology.
Global Buick and GMC Vice President Duncan Aldred, said, "Receiving the Most Refined Brand award for a fourth consecutive year reflects GMC's commitment to our core brand pillars. Consumers appreciate GMC's ability to deliver bold, capable and precisely crafted vehicles that fit their lifestyle."

GM Gets Patent For Tailgate Step in Pickup Bed - Will Be Installed In Sierra Pickup & Chevy Silverado Models for 2019
May 15, 2017
The 2019 Sierra 1500 and Chevy Silverado sister pickup trucks will feature a new #tailgatestep thanks to a recent patent awarded to General Motors last December. The 2019 models are expected to arrive in late 2018. To learn more and to see the latest GMC and Chevy pickups, come to our Master Buick GMC dealership in Augusta, GA.
According to the patent, the entire tailgate step will be housed in the tailgate assembly. When the step is needed, a portion of the top half of the tailgate will swing down and the step will fold out. A handle locks into place to add an assist in climbing up into the pickup bed.
As trucks have grown bigger and taller over the years, it has become more and more difficult to access the cargo bed. Ford's solution for the 2009 F-150 is a step that slides out from the end of the tailgate. The new GM design improves on Ford's design. GM's tailgate step features a wider step. In addition, the lower step has a back on it to keep you from stepping through the normal ladder-rung design.

How to Keep Your Truck Running (Nearly) Forever
May 9, 2017
We know you love your Chevy or GMC pickup and want it to last forever. These simple maintenance tips will keep your truck running like new for many years and many miles to come. Our factory-trained Buick-GMC technicians at Master Buick GMC in Augusta can help, too. We look forward to a long partnership with you and your truck and invite you to bring your truck in for a checkup.
1. Never Miss an Oil Change - One of the most important things you can do to ensure a long life for your truck is also the easiest. If your truck is a 2008 model or newer, an oil change is recommended every 7,500 miles or six months, whichever comes first. Check with our technicians if you have an older model.
2. Rotate Your Tires - each time you change your oil to ensure even wear.
3. Keep Your Tires Balanced - When you rotate your tires, it's also worth having them balanced.
4. Keep Tires Aligned- If you notice your truck pulling to one side or the other, it's probably time for a wheel alignment. If you drive on rough roads you might need an alignment more often.
5. Check Your Lights Monthly and make sure you have spare fuses in your glove box.
6. Make Sure Fluid Levels are Up - including oil, engine coolant and windshield washer fluid. Make sure to have transmission fluid flushed once a year or as recommended in your owner's manual.
7. Change Filters - clean air and fuel filters keep your truck running efficiently.
8. Know Your Driving Conditions - While routine maintenance and checklists will prolong the life of your truck, it's important to consider how you use your truck. Do you carry heavy loads, drive off-road or make lots of short trips daily? How you use your truck will determine the type of maintenance you'll need. Talk to our Master Buick GMC technicians about the best ways to care for your truck, given your use.
9. Have an Inspection - #BuickGMC's multi-point inspection is like an annual physical for your truck. Our technicians will analyze every part of your truck, from your batteries to spark plugs to brake pads. Our technicians can spot potential problem areas early, based on wear, that will help keep you safe and your truck running longer.
10. Read Up - Know what's in your Owner's Manual!

It has an all-aluminum receiver and grip-frame for great handling. Its modular design has fewer parts which reduces cleaning and maintenance time by 75%.

Do You Know How Old Your Oil and Oil Filter Are?
April 25, 2017
At Master Buick GMC in Augusta, our certified service professionals can help you determine how often you need to change your oil and filter depending on the make, model and year of your vehicle, as well as the type of driving you do. Edmunds' editors have compiled some common questions people have about oil and oil changes that could help answer some of your questions.
Do you need to change your oil before a long trip?
This is one of the most common questions about oil changes. While our service technicians recommend you have your car checked out before a long trip, if the oil change interval doesn't occur before the trip, you don't need to change it. However, if the oil change timing would happen during your trip, it's a good idea to change it before you leave. Our #MasterBuickGMC service professionals recommend having your vehicle serviced at least a week before leaving on a long trip. This gives you the opportunity to make sure everything is in working order before you pack up to leave on your trip. We want your trip to be a success from beginning to end.
Another Common Misconception Relates to Synthetic Oil
It used to be common knowledge that once you start using synthetic oil you need to keep on using it. These days, synthetic and regular oil are usually blended, so there's not a strict line between the two. What's important is that you are using the oil type specified in your owner's manual. If you have questions, please ask our service technicians.
What Is The Ideal Interval Between Oil Changes?
Years ago, the common advice was that oil needed to be changed every 3,000 miles or three months, whichever came sooner. Nowadays, most vehicles made after 2010 only need an oil change every 7,000 miles give or take, depending on the climate, type of driving and other factors. Most cars have an oil life monitor light that lets you know when to change the oil. One reason the interval between changes has expanded so much is due to improvements in oil chemistry and engine technology. Check with our Master Buick GMC service professionals to determine the correct mileage for an oil change on your vehicle based on your driving habits.
Come To Master Buick GMC for Your Automotive Needs

April 25, 2017
The 2018 Regal Sportback is a perfect balance of form and function. The Regal Sportback provides a sleek, sporty, coupe-like design along with the spirited performance of a premium sports sedan with the unexpected versatility of a hatchback, all in in one sophisticated package. Our Master Buick GMC dealership in Augusta looks forward to introducing you to the #2018RegalSportback when it arrives on our lot sometime this fall.
"The new Regal Sportback was developed with today's active, independent, premium car customer in mind," said Duncan Aldred, vice president, Global Buick and GMC. "They have an SUV in the garage and are looking to complement it with a sport sedan, but have an appreciation for the usefulness of a versatile cargo space when an occasional need arises."
The 2018 Sportback is available in four trim levels - Regal, Preferred, Preferred II and Essence.
Highlights of the 2018 Regal Sportback Include:
1) Optional intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) with active twin-clutch for improved vehicle control and efficiency in any conditions.
2) AWD models are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
3) Front-wheel-drive models are paired with a nine-speed automatic.
4) The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers an estimated 250 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque (FWD) and 295 lb-ft of torque (AWD).
5) The integrated rear opening has a tri-folding 40/20/40 rear seat available and a 60/40 split-folding seat standard.
6) Safety innovations include a Buick-first active hood pedestrian safety system, Front Pedestrian Braking and Lane Keep Assist
7) You get lots of cargo space. There's more cargo space than you'll find in the Audi A5 Sportback and BMW 4-series Gran Coupe, with 60.7 cubic feet behind the first row.
8) Signature Buick QuietTuning includes all-new tire insulation that reduces road noise on front-wheel-drive models. A premium five-link rear suspension on AWD models helps with road noise.

The Historic Imperial Theatre Celebrates 100 Years in 2018
April 20, 2017
Our Master Buick GMC staff loves the historic #ImperialTheatre. Opened in February of 1918 as The Wells Theatre, it was built by Jake Wells to present vaudeville and photoplays.
Celebrities at the Theatre
Among the earliest recorded appearances was that of Charlie Chaplin, who appeared at the theatre on April 16, 1918 to sell Liberty war bonds.
The Wells Becomes The Imperial
The Spanish Flu outbreak caused the city to close all public venues, including the theatre. Jake Wells encountered financial difficulties at the same time and sold The Wells to Lynch Enterprises. The Wells Theatre's name was changed to The Imperial Theatre. Throughout the early 1900s, the theatre continued to provide the city of Augusta and the surrounding area with great entertainment, with performers such as Leo Carrillo who later became the Cisco Kid's partner, Pancho and the famous ballet dancer Anna Pavlova. The Imperial is in the Broad Street Historical District and is listed on the National Register as important to the character of the entire district.
The Imperial Today
Many different types of entertainment can be seen at The Imperial. Upcoming events include Deconstructing The Beatles - White Album on May 4. Come see as composer/producer Scott Freiman takes Beatles fans young and old into the studio with The Beatles as they create their bestselling album, The Beatles, aka the White Album.
In this multimedia presentation, Mr. Freiman takes the audience into Abbey Road Studio for a look at the revolutionary techniques used during the production of "Revolution," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Blackbird," and other songs from the White Album. Audience members will learn about the creative process of The Beatles performances and recording sessions. The evolution of these songs and their lasting influence will also be discussed.
Other upcoming performances include Beauty and The Beast by the Augusta Players starting May 12. We hope you'll experience some of the fantastic events held at The Imperial.

You can explore the Augusta Canal using many modes of transportation. Whether you hike, bike, paddle or just float through Augusta Canal's history on a guided boat tour, there's lots to explore along the miles of towpath, trail and canal waters. Getting out on the Augusta Canal is something our Master Buick GMC staff loves to do on our days off.

Did you know the Augusta Canal is the only industrial power canal in the U.S. that's still in use for its original purpose? Visit the Augusta Canal Discovery Center at Enterprise Mill to hear the stories of the people who built the canal in 1845 to harness the water and power of the Savannah River. You'll also learn about the progress, problems and promise of its 170-year history.
Scenery & Recreation
As you hike or bike on the towpath alongside the historic canal, you'll pass natural and urban landscapes and get glimpses of wildlife while you enjoy the beautiful scenery.

2017 Buick Encore Upgrades Include New Technology

Looking for a compact luxury SUV? The 2017 #BuickEncore has been upgraded to include many of the luxury features you're looking for in an SUV. Its noise cancellation system is one of the best and ensures a quiet ride for you and your passengers.

If you do a lot of bad-weather or off-road driving, the Buick's optional all-wheel drive is a must-have for traction.

Have you ever dozed off while driving?
April 11, 2017
Have you ever had that strange sensation that you just woke up while driving? Did you know that's referred to as 'microsleep'? Microsleep is that brief state of drowsy unconsciousness that can happen even with your eyes wide open and you think you're awake. It's pretty scary. And it's dangerous, causing more than 100,000 crashes every year, according to the NHTSA. At Master Buick GMC, your Augusta dealer of choice, we want to let you know about new technology designed to keep you awake and safe when driving.
Drowsiness Detection Technology
Drowsiness detection systems are certainly not new. Currently, there is technology that can monitor a vehicle's movements to detect a sleepy driver. Sleepy drivers are then warned with a sound and coffee cup graphic or with a jiggle of the seat. New systems are in the works that can be even more effective.
Bosch is working on a camera-based technology that will monitor eye and head movements, body posture, heart rate and body temperature. The system is sophisticated enough to measure body temperature as well as how the driver is dressed. The system will be able to customize the interior temperature to keep the driver alert.
Plessey Semiconductors has developed sensors that are placed in a seat that will monitor heart rate changes. The technology can indicate when breathing patterns begin to replicate that of someone who is sleeping, giving a warning before someone actually feels tired and dozes off.
Our Master Buick GMC Dealership Wants to Keep You Awake & Alert On the Road
Of course, there is no substitute for a good night's rest. However, we know that's not always possible. We invite you to come see our inventory of new Buick and #GMC vehicles that feature these new safety technologies designed to keep you alert and safe while driving. We have an extensive inventory and are sure to have something that will suit your particular needs and tastes. If we don't, we'll help you find what you're looking for. We specialize in Augusta car sales. Our family-owned GMC Buick dealership has been helping Augusta area residents with their automotive needs for nearly 80 years.

Cascada Sport Touring Convertible Now In Sport Red Exterior
April 10, 2017
Buick takes customer requests seriously! When customers asked for a brilliant red for the 2017 Cascada Sport touring convertible, the Buick design team went to work and launched a new color - Sport Red - along with the Dark Effects package. Our Master Buick GMC dealership in Augusta, GA invites you to come see the beautiful red #CascadaSportTouring convertible and take it out for a test drive.
More Than Just A Great Color
Buick designed the all-new Cascada convertible for drivers who want to live life wide open with features not usually found in a convertible. The Cascada's three-layer insulated top ensures a quiet ride. The Cascada is also the first 2017 convertible to receive a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for Safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. And, the Cascada is affordable!
Color Is Important
"We've heard it from customers all year: "What a beautiful car. Can I get it in red?" Well yes, now you can," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick Sales, Service and Marketing. "This new addition to the Cascada portfolio offers a modern style statement with blacked-out exterior trim and red interior stitching."
The Dark Effects package features a gloss-black finish on the grille, mirror caps and 20-inch wheels, as well as body-color trim across the deck lid. Inside, new red stitching adds contrast to the instrument panel, doors and seats.
True Blue
Earlier this fall, the 2017 Cascada Sport Touring launched a convertible with a vibrant True Blue exterior color, an exclusive new 20-inch wheel design and sporty interior trim.
Since it's been shown that almost one-fourth of customers will delay the purchase of a vehicle if the color they want isn't available, Buick will regularly offer new color and trim combinations for the Cascada.

Lighter Weight 2017 Acadia has Improved Handling
September 28, 2016
By trimming size and weight, the 2017 Acadia is lighter, more manageable and more fun to drive than the older larger GMC models such as Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and the first-generation Acadia. Its shorter wheelbase, smaller dimensions and 700 pound weight loss thanks to the high-strength steel chassis, means better stopping ability, more stability, and better acceleration (60 mph in about six seconds for the V6 and nine seconds for the V4).
The electrically assisted steering makes changing direction easier with tight and precise steering. Ride quality is smooth, and road and wind noise are minimal for pleasurable long distance trips. It handles well in both congested city driving, as well as on the winding country backroads near Augusta, Georgia.
An off-roading option on higher trim levels is available for $1,200. The lighter weight of the 2017 Acadia also enables the 2.5-liter four-cylinder to serve well as the standard engine, returning nearly 30 mpg on the highway. An optional volume engine (All-Terrain and Denali trims) gets EPA city/highway ratings of 18/25 mpg that are 2 mpg better than those for the previous Acadia.
Have you ever had that strange sensation that you just woke up while driving? Did you know that's referred to as 'microsleep'? Microsleep is that brief state of drowsy unconsciousness that can happen even with your eyes wide open and you think you're awake. It's pretty scary. And it's dangerous, causing more than 100,000 crashes every year, according to the NHTSA. At Master Buick GMC, your Augusta dealer of choice, we want to let you know about new technology designed to keep you awake and safe when driving.
Drowsiness Detection Technology
Drowsiness detection systems are certainly not new. Currently, there is technology that can monitor a vehicle's movements to detect a sleepy driver. Sleepy drivers are then warned with a sound and coffee cup graphic or with a jiggle of the seat. New systems are in the works that can be even more effective.
Bosch is working on a camera-based technology that will monitor eye and head movements, body posture, heart rate and body temperature. The system is sophisticated enough to measure body temperature as well as how the driver is dressed. The system will be able to customize the interior temperature to keep the driver alert.
Plessey Semiconductors has developed sensors that are placed in a seat that will monitor heart rate changes. The technology can indicate when breathing patterns begin to replicate that of someone who is sleeping, giving a warning before someone actually feels tired and dozes off.
Our Master Buick GMC Dealership Wants to Keep You Awake & Alert On the Road
Of course, there is no substitute for a good night's rest. However, we know that's not always possible. We invite you to come see our inventory of new Buick and #GMC vehicles that feature these new safety technologies designed to keep you alert and safe while driving. We have an extensive inventory and are sure to have something that will suit your particular needs and tastes. If we don't, we'll help you find what you're looking for. We specialize in Augusta car sales. Our family-owned GMC Buick dealership has been helping Augusta area residents with their automotive needs for nearly 80 years.

Cascada Sport Touring Convertible Now In Sport Red Exterior
April 10, 2017
Buick takes customer requests seriously! When customers asked for a brilliant red for the 2017 Cascada Sport touring convertible, the Buick design team went to work and launched a new color - Sport Red - along with the Dark Effects package. Our Master Buick GMC dealership in Augusta, GA invites you to come see the beautiful red #CascadaSportTouring convertible and take it out for a test drive.
More Than Just A Great Color
Buick designed the all-new Cascada convertible for drivers who want to live life wide open with features not usually found in a convertible. The Cascada's three-layer insulated top ensures a quiet ride. The Cascada is also the first 2017 convertible to receive a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for Safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. And, the Cascada is affordable!
Color Is Important
"We've heard it from customers all year: "What a beautiful car. Can I get it in red?" Well yes, now you can," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick Sales, Service and Marketing. "This new addition to the Cascada portfolio offers a modern style statement with blacked-out exterior trim and red interior stitching."
The Dark Effects package features a gloss-black finish on the grille, mirror caps and 20-inch wheels, as well as body-color trim across the deck lid. Inside, new red stitching adds contrast to the instrument panel, doors and seats.
True Blue
Earlier this fall, the 2017 Cascada Sport Touring launched a convertible with a vibrant True Blue exterior color, an exclusive new 20-inch wheel design and sporty interior trim.
Since it's been shown that almost one-fourth of customers will delay the purchase of a vehicle if the color they want isn't available, Buick will regularly offer new color and trim combinations for the Cascada.
Our Master Buick GMC Dealership Invites You For A Test Drive
We hope you'll come to our Master Buick GMC dealership in Augusta, GA to learn more about the 2017 Cascada convertible and take it out for a test drive. We have an extensive inventory of new, certified pre-owned and used cars, trucks and SUVs. We're sure to have something that will suit your particular needs and tastes. If we don't, we can help you find what you're looking for. We specialize in Augusta car sales. Our family-owned GMC Buick dealership has been serving the Augusta area for nearly 80 years.

Lighter Weight 2017 Acadia has Improved Handling
September 28, 2016
By trimming size and weight, the 2017 Acadia is lighter, more manageable and more fun to drive than the older larger GMC models such as Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and the first-generation Acadia. Its shorter wheelbase, smaller dimensions and 700 pound weight loss thanks to the high-strength steel chassis, means better stopping ability, more stability, and better acceleration (60 mph in about six seconds for the V6 and nine seconds for the V4).
The electrically assisted steering makes changing direction easier with tight and precise steering. Ride quality is smooth, and road and wind noise are minimal for pleasurable long distance trips. It handles well in both congested city driving, as well as on the winding country backroads near Augusta, Georgia.
An off-roading option on higher trim levels is available for $1,200. The lighter weight of the 2017 Acadia also enables the 2.5-liter four-cylinder to serve well as the standard engine, returning nearly 30 mpg on the highway. An optional volume engine (All-Terrain and Denali trims) gets EPA city/highway ratings of 18/25 mpg that are 2 mpg better than those for the previous Acadia.
An impressive array of GM's latest safety technology includes a rear-seat reminder ensures that children won't be left in the vehicle.
Though there's a little less cargo volume, lots of space is available for storage. The second- and third-row seats fold flat and two underfloor bins store smaller items. Instead of the standard bench seat, the 2017 Acadia has versatile second-row reclining captain?s chairs that also slide forward and backward. Other amenities include storage cubbies, climate control, 5 USB ports and a 110-volt outlet for second-row passengers.
Master Buick GMC is proud to offer the 2017 Acadia and invites you to come for a test drive. We pride ourselves on the superior customer service we've been providing since 1937. Whether it's selecting and financing your perfect car or maintaining and servicing it, Team Auto Group is there for you.

Master Buick GMC Will Celebrate 80 Years in 2017
September 26, 2016
In 2017 Master Buick GMC dealership will be celebrating 80 years as a family owned business.
It all began back in 1926 when a young Walter Schlapp emigrated from Germany. A job in Augusta had been arranged for him by a US citizen who spent his summers in Germany. Though Schlapp was a trained metal worker, he accepted a job with an ice and coal business to avoid the devastating economic crash in Germany at the time. His good friend William Shafer joined him in the US and worked at the company as a bookkeeper.
Both men planned on returning to Germany when economic conditions improved. As fate would have it, the two friends ended up marrying two sisters in 1930 and honeymooned on an ocean liner back to Augusta and their old jobs at the ice and coal business.
In 1934 they decided to open a garage business. From its start the garage business was service-oriented and the two men dreamed of one day obtaining a dealership. In 1937 General Motors made the two men official Pontiac dealers. It took two years for sales to be profitable enough that the future looked bright.
Then came WWII and the cars were no longer manufactured in the US. Schlapp served in the U.S. Army while Schafer, whose leg injury kept him out of the service, managed the dealership. During the war, Schafer kept the dealership afloat by selling trucks to war-necessary industries. The two men grew a successful business during the next 18 years; one built on superior customer service.
Williams Schafer died in 1968 and his son, William Schafer, Jr stepped into his father's place. Schlapp died six months later and William Jr. had sole responsibility for the dealership. Fortunately, he had studied business and management at the Citadel. He recognized the importance of customer service and has continued the company ethic of providing the best possible customer service, the company will continue to serve the Augusta area 70 more years and beyond.
We're proud of our history and tradition of customer service. Our sales, finance and service teams look forward to serving customer needs, whether it's buying, financing or maintaining your vehicle.

GM and Sustainability
September 21, 2016
The Dow Jones Sustainability Index is a leading global benchmark for corporate sustainability. DJSI monitors leading sustainability-driven companies based on investment firm RobecoSAM's analysis of financially relevant social, environmental and governance factors.
And General Motors was once again ranked on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for corporate sustainability leadership in the auto industry. For a second year, GM has been chosen as an index component. GM remains the only automaker on the North American index.
Thanks to higher rankings in 14 of 22 categories, with flawless scores in brand management and climate strategy, GM?s score increased 5 points this year. GM scored high in the index's new materiality category. This category evaluates sustainability issues linked to business drivers.
"The DJSI ranking demonstrates that GM is doing business with a greater sense of purpose," said Craig Glidden, GM executive vice president public policy and general counsel. "This practice benefits our customers and employees, and helps us better serve the communities where we work around the world."
GM also launched its Do Your Part recycling initiative. GM collects water bottles from Flint, Michigan residents and six GM facilities. That plastic is transformed via a supply web of 11 philanthropic organizations and companies into three new materials that benefit people, products and plants.
An increased focus on human rights to the DJSI methodology is noteworthy update. GM joined the UN Global Compact last year, pledging to promote the compact's 10 principles in human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.

Never Forget with GMC 2017 Acadia
September 19, 2016
Even the most organized among us needs help remembering things sometimes. We have a million things on our minds. The Rear Seat Reminder in the all-new 2017 GMC Acadia is helping to address this. Rear Seat Reminder, a new feature that is an industry-first, is designed to remind drivers to check the back seat when they get out of their vehicle.
Children die of in-vehicle heat stroke as a result of being forgotten every year in the U.S. Items left in sight in the back seat are a target and account for about 23% of theft according to the FBI.
The Rear Seat Reminder monitors the Acadia's rear doors. The feature will activate when either rear door is opened and closed within 10 minutes before the vehicle is started, or if the doors are opened and closed while the vehicle is running. These circumstances set the Rear Seat Reminder. The Acadia will chime five times and display a message for the driver. The message will read, "Rear Seat Reminder / Look in Rear Seat."
"Acadia drivers live busy lives with demanding schedules, and the Rear Seat Reminder helps protect the things we care about most," said Tricia Morrow, GM global safety strategy engineer. "Whether it's your lunch, laptop, pet or most importantly, your child, it's easier than it seems to forget what's in the back seat when moving between life's events. With this new feature, we are leading the charge to address this ongoing problem."
Rear Seat Reminder is a standard feature on the all-new 2017 Acadia, a reimagined and designed crossover aimed at the midsize market segment.
Never forget with Rear Seat Reminder on the 2017 Arcadia. And never forget at Master Buick GMC in Augusta, Georgia!

Water Bottles into Fleece
September 16, 2016
"People want to do the right thing," says John Bradburn, GM global waste reduction manager. "The Do Your Part recycling initiative is a way our employees and communities can connect their individual actions to broader social and environmental causes."
Recently, General Motors collected two million water bottles from Flint, Michigan. The plastic is washed, then flaked to be turned into fleece. The fleece is then made into engine covers, air filters for various GM plants and insulation for coats for the homeless. Nine thousand square feet of fleece has been created since April, when GM's "Do Your Part" program was launched.
GM is donating enough insulation for the non-profit group, The Empowerment Plan, to sew 6,500 coats that turn into sleeping bags. The Empowerment Plan has a mission to "educate, employ and empower homeless individuals to create a better life for themselves and their families while producing humanitarian products for those in need." The coats produced by these formerly homeless, predominately women, are given free of charge to those in need.
In addition to the two million water bottles from Flint, another 1.2 million come from five GM facilities around the Detroit area.
General Motors goal is zero waste and all of the GM facilities globally recycle their water bottles. The Do Your Part program was pursued by GM after a case study provided information that showed how a sustainability program could have impact, specifically:
-Creating a source for recycled material to be repurposed saves energy and reduces waste.
-Using North American companies to process the material increases the strength of the economy.
-Donating fleece to make coats for the homeless helps those less fortunate in communities, by putting as many as possible to work and keeping others warm.
What a powerful message Master Buick GMC's parent company, General Motors, is sending to its employees and other companies. A message that materials such as used plastic bottles can be given a second life both in economic and charitable ways.
If you're looking for a new or pre-owned vehicle, we hope you'll visit Master Buick GMC. We're here to serve you!

GMC Canyon - Best Midsize Pickup Truck
September 9, 2016
Cars.com, in partnership with PickupTrucks.com, named the 2016 GMC Canyon Best Midsize Pickup Truck of 2016. Annually, Cars.com hosts a Challenge to establish the consumer's best choice in a midsize pickup truck.
In addition to the Canyon, vehicles tested were the 2016 model year Chevy Colorado, Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier, as well as the 2017 Honda Ridgeline.
Patrick Olsen, editor-in-chief of Cars.com called the GMC Canyon, "An all around great truck." Cars.com put the vehicles through a week's worth of tests which included long distance driving with the trucks both loaded and unloaded. They also went to the track and went off-roading through muck and mud.
The GMC Canyon competed in 18-objective categories, which counted for 70% of the total points in the Challenge. Olsen went on to say that the GMC Canyon performed well on both off-road and paved streets. "It's a well-appointed truck on the interior and has some serious ability when it comes to payload and towing as well as overall engine performance."
For the final 30% of the scoring, the trucks were rated in 10 additional categories. These categories included interior quality, tech and entertainment, comfort, performance and value.
Judges particularly liked the GMC Canyon's ride and handling, the power of its engine, the four-wheel drive performance and its technical efficiency.
Master Buick GMC invites you to come in and test-drive this winning vehicle, the 2016 GMC Canyon midsize pickup truck, for yourself. And, see why from Sales to Service and maintenance, we are set for any challenge. We want to be your dealership in every category.

A Closer Look at 2016's GMC Yukon XL SUV
September 7, 2016
Generally when one mentions GMC, we think of big trucks that haul big stuff. The Yukon XL is a GMC full-size SUV. An SUV that hauls big stuff.
With its three rows of seats, a Yukon XL SUV can seat nine people in its luxurious cabin. When the seats fold flat (electronically, of course), instead of your son's hockey team, you could be the parents that hauls the team's equipment. Those hockey bags are big, but so is the interior of the Yukon XL. You could also haul the hockey team in the Yukon XL and easily tow 8500 pounds of trailer behind you loaded with hockey gear - or, maybe even a small Zamboni.
With a youth hockey team on-board, safety is tantamount in a vehicle. Safety features on the 2016 Yukon XL are numerous. To keep you and the team a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, the Yukon XL has adaptive cruise control. Front and rear parking sensors sure make it easy to get the large Yukon into a tight space. A nifty feature now on-board the Yukon XL is Hill Start Assist that gives a driver the valuable two seconds of extra braking to move a foot from the brake pedal to the gas pedal without rolling backward - a pretty cool tool to have going uphill towing a big trailer. Sensors activate a blinking signal to warn when a vehicle is moving through your blind spot zone. The Yukon XL also carries parking sensors that signal when a pedestrian on vehicle is behind you when you are pulling out of a parking spot.
There is a choice of two engines on the Yukon XL, each a V-8 mated to a 6-speed transmission. The EcoTec3 engines, with direct fuel injection, ensure power plus promote fuel efficiency. One is a 5.3 litre engine, the other 6.2. Both include a cylinder-deactivation feature when driving without the hockey team and trailer.
Master Buick GMC invites you to come down and test-drive a 2016 Yukon XL and experience the power and luxury for yourself. While with us at Master Buick GMC, meet the first-in-class team of professionals from Sales to Service and maintenance. Master Buick GMC wants to be your dealership of choice whether you are in the market for a new vehicle or a routine oil change.

2016 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali
September 5, 2016
Ohh, baby. The 1500 Sierra Denali. What more is there to say - Plenty, for sure. If you are a full-size pickup guy or gal, you are going to love this truck. You hardly want to call it a truck when the darn thing is so full of luxury and technology.
The 2016 Sierra 1500 Denali sports a 6.2 liter, V8 engine with 420-horsepower and 8-speed transmission that can tow nearly 9,400 pounds. The eight-speed transmission in the Sierra Denali is the same used in the Corvette, and the engine is of the same parentage as the Vette's V-8 engine, only re-engineered for better hauling. Despite the engine's size, the ride is comfortable, quiet and smooth as a result of adaptive dampers and an electronically controlled magnetic shock absorbing system.
This honey can hit 60-mph in 5.4 seconds and hit 99-mph to do the quarter-mile in 14.1 seconds. Ninety-nine miles per hour in a full size pickup truck. How wonderful is that big-truck-guy-in-the-sky? The engine also has a 4-cylinder deactivation feature to increase fuel efficiency.
The cabin is stylish and comfortable with a touchscreen infotainment center available, noise cancellation to kill exterior noise, Bluetooth and 4G WiFi for connectivity and lots of cubby space. The rear is plenty roomy as well.
If you tow, the 2016 Sierra 1500 Denali features hill descent control, trailer sway control, hill start assist to keep you from rolling back while going from brake pedal to acceleration, tow/haul mode, trailer brake control - (deep breath) - did I thank the big-truck-guy-in-the-sky? GMC thought of everything on the Sierra 1500 Denali.
Master Buick GMC invites you to come down and spend some time test driving the incredible 2016 Sierra 1500 Denali today. Become a part of the GMC truck family. While you are here, meet our incredible Master Buick GMC family from Sales to Service and maintenance. We want to be your dealership of choice whether you are looking for a new vehicle or needing maintenance for your current vehicle.

What the Heck are Concept Cars and Why do They Matter?
September 2, 2016
Auto shows are full of them. They are show stoppers with futuristic features and designs. But despite all the press and hype, they never make it to market. They are just about the image for a brand. They are about understanding what catches the consumer's eyes and what changes the consumer's image of a brand. They are concept cars.
Let's say you are an automotive manufacturer and you want your sedan to have a more sporty image in the minds of future or prospective consumers. Well, rather than changing entire lines of production and design, you create a concept car and exhibit it at an auto show or local fair to see exactly what specific attributes draw attention in the press or by the most attendees. These individual attributes may find themselves incorporated into a new model year alluring customers. But, not necessarily on the road.
Currently, Buick's Avista concept car is making news. The Avista concept car debuted at the Detroit Auto Show. The Avista sends power to the rear axle; it is not a front or all wheel drive car. Rear wheel drive cars offer better balance and handling - the reason why sports cars and race cars are rear wheel drive cars. Without the weight of the car over the front of the vehicle, a rear wheel drive car gets less traction on wet or icy roads. So, the likelihood of the Avista making it to the open road is low but the design or technology might certainly make it on a new car model.
Once in awhile, a concept a car will create such demand that a manufacturer will actually put it into production. The Dodge Viper was one such vehicle. It doesn't happen often. Like a miracle, however, it is possible a concept car will make it to market.
Concept car or not, there's nothing like the experience of a Buick. And, there's nothing like the best-in-class experience from Sales to Service at Master Buick GMC. Come in and test-drive a Buick at Master Buick GMC today.

Buick - The Conquest Brand
August 31, 2016
For three consecutive years, Buick global sales have grown. Last month?more customers traded in competing brand cars for Buicks. In 2016 alone, 35,000 customers have switched over to a Buick. Not bad for an automotive brand that 5% of the U.S. adult population doesn?t remember in their driveways unless your grandparents lived in New York, New Jersey, Florida, Texas or California - big markets for convertibles.
Attainable luxury. That is what a Buick is now. A vehicle with affordable starting prices, chiseled exteriors, luxurious interiors and sophisticated technology. Buick has earned Kelley Blue Book?s ?Best Value Luxury Brand? four years in a row. In North America, it is selling more vehicles than Lincoln, Acura and Infinity.
It is a testament to Buick, the oldest brand in the US, to have lived to see another generation of drivers put relevance into the brand. Come in and test-drive a Buick today at Master Buick GMC. There?s nothing like the experience of a Buick. And there?s nothing like the best-in-class experience from Sales to Service at Master Buick GMC.

Buick Encore Leads Small SUV Segment
August 29, 2016
To say ?Small? SUV seems kind of like an oxymoron, but there is a category of small Sport Utility Vehicles on the road. And one-quarter of those small SUVs on the road are Buicks, according to Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick Sales, Service and Marketing. While something said about a Buick coming from a Buick exec may not seem like an unbiased statement, the truth is there is much time, effort and money spent on research to make such statements.
Women and professionals seem to particularly like the Buick Encore. Sixty percent of the Encore purchasers are women. Why? ?The Buick Encore provides buyers with a luxury experience in a nimble, compact, value-packed vehicle,? said Rebecca Lindland, one of the top directors of commercial insights for Kelley Blue Book. ?Not only is it chock-full of the latest in safety technology, it also is fun to drive and provides a wonderful, quiet cabin experience. It seats five?or fits a full day of shopping? comfortably, and is the ideal ride height to conquer snow without needing a step ladder. There?s really no better small crossover, which is why I own one!?
The Buick Encore has been redesigned inside and out for model year 2017. Come in and test-drive a Buick Encore today at Master Buick GMC. There?s nothing like the experience of a Buick. And, there?s nothing like the best-in-class experience from Sales to Service at Master Buick GMC.

GMC Acadia Goes Extra Miles Because Of Glue
August 26, 2016
GMC is trying something very uniquely new in its SUV segment. No, it is not in terms of styling or engine specifications. GMC will use adhesives instead of rivets and welds to put together the body of its SUVs.
The latest SUV from GMC, the Acadia, will be able to travel extra miles because it is a lot lighter. It now weighs 700 pounds less by getting rid of all welds and rivets. Special aircraft grade adhesives have been used to put together the outer structure and the underbody compartments of the car.
Used along the seams, the adhesive keeps the body very firmly in place. The body is very stiff and sturdy. So, GMC has been able to use thinner and lighter steel to prepare the body of the Acadia. The 2017 GMC Acadia can travel 23 miles per gallon whereas the heavier 2016 model could travel only 18 miles per gallon.
Generally speaking, car makers think of using new engines, manufacturing full electric or hybrid versions or using lightweight materials such as carbon fiber to increase the mileage of a car. But GMC is not ready to take any chances by trying other unusual tricks. If possible, cars from all brands in the USA will have an average mileage of 54.5 mpg by 2025.
Interesting isnt it? More intriguing news about GMC's unique engineering methods can be found at the Master Buick GMC showroom in Augusta. Do visit them today.

Hollywood's Relationship with GMC
August 22, 2016
GMC and Hollywood celebrities have a strong bond. Not only do these celebrities own GMC vehicles, but they also like to drive these vehicles themselves. They enthusiastically share their passion for these vehicles with their fans. The collection of any celebrity boasts of sports cars, concepts, exotic imports and customized cars.
But there were some interesting and unusual choices as well. Hybrids, typhoons, trucks, they own them all. Almost every known A-list celebrity in Hollywood, be it a singer, actor, comedian, TV show host, dancer, rapper, or athlete, or even the Kardashian family, is a proud owner of a GMC vehicle.
Surprisingly, celebrities like to own and drive hybrids cars too. The environment conscious Paris Hilton gifted herself a Yukon Denali Hybrid from GMC on her birthday. She wanted to do her bit towards saving the environment, so she ordered the Hybrid GMC herself. Even the good old Pontiac is still owned by 50 Cents and Snoop Dog.
It is generally believed that the more money a celebrity has the more chances of him owning a GMC vehicle. It might come as a surprise to you but Clint Eastwood still owns a 1992 GMC Typhoon. The old model has a turbo V6 engine. The sturdy Typhoon remains his favorite drive.
Does the name GMC excite you as much as Hollywood does? Well, good news then. More trivia about GMC and Hollywood users is available at the Master Buick GMC showroom in Augusta.

Unfortunately, in the compact crossover segment, vehicle offerings often feature small engines that provide minimal capabilities. In the case of the GMC Terrain, that luckily is not the case.
While the Terrain does offer a 4-cylinder engine option, the crown jewel is the 3.6L V6 engine choice. Delivering 301 horsepower, the Terrain will feel powerful and confident driving over the steepest of hills and through the roughest of weather. Combine the engine with the all-wheel drive in the Terrain and it cannot be stopped. When equipped with the V6 engine, the Terrain is capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds easily while providing features like automatic trailer braking which ensures it will haul anything you need it to with confidence and comfort.
Despite the increased power, performance and capabilities, the Terrain 3.6L still provides a respectable 24 MPG on the highway. Come to Master Buick GMC today and explore the GMC Terrain for yourself. It is the standout in a category of vehicles with limited capabilities, bringing legitimate tried and true crossover and SUV qualities to the table.

An Introduction to GMC Yukon XL Denali 4WD
August 5, 2016
You're average motorhead will tell you that there are these specific times when chasing down a race track in a two seat convertible will just not cut it. Times like these calls for a Sedan, preferably a Sports variant. There are special occasion that need something more majestic like the GMC Yukon XL Denali. If you?ve planned a perfect getaway and the number of travel companions is over the average count to comfortably fit into a Miatas, you need a XXXL SUV. Be it a family get together or a college reunion, traveling together has its own charm as compared to arriving at the destination separately. If it is a fishing trip, the Big Den can easily carry your fishing gear and your hoard without feeling too clustered.
Although the Denali has the latest tech features and luxury interiors, there is a nagging feeling that reminds you of a pick-up truck. This may be due to the fact that GMC is most commonly associated with such towing cars.
Yukon XL Denali, a.k.a Big Den is easily double the size of a Fiat 500 and weight at 6000 pounds. Eight adults can comfortably travel in the Denali and its hauling capacity is over its body weight at 7900 pound. Definitely not your average family car, but the Denali will rub on you.
Visit Master Buick GMC to test drive the Denali and to check out the latest GMC cars.

GMC Yukon XL Denali 4WD Engine Performance
August 3, 2016
The beast is powered by a V-8 engine. There are similarities between the Yukon Denali engine and that of the Corvette LT 1 being variable exhaust valve and intake timing, direct fuel injection system and a cylinder lock down when the load carried is light.
The engine difference lies in the valve timing of the GMC. GMC engines have a mellowed timing to overlooks the rattle when the engine is idle. There is a slight loss of power as a result but the torque output is the same at 460 lb-ft. The old school engine stands proud as a pushrod design amongst multi-valve, boosted and excessively heated cam engines and fits the needs of a large SUV perfectly. The drive as a result is smooth, fuel efficient and trustworthy. The only down side is that the fuel has to be of premium quality for optimum results.
Swiftness has got nothing to do with size; the Big Den takes 6.5 seconds to reach 60mph starting at 0 recording a top speed of 113mph. Acceleration is further increased when switched to four wheel drive mode, almost close to the Mercedes Benz GL450 it?s lighter and smaller corrival. It might take a while to get accustomed to the monstrous proportions but once you do, the car is easy to maneuver into parking spots and driving in traffic. Fuel efficiency is recorded at 16mpg. Keeping in mind that the tank volume is 30.9 gallons, a cross state drive can be completed on one tank without stopping for refills.

GMC Yukon XL Denali 4WD- Drive Experience
August 1, 2016
Denali drives like the Hound (not the two faced shady character but the autobot). The car stays centered without much coaxing from the driver. A car that big definitely needs a strong and efficient braking system, Denali brakes are highly receptive to the variation in pressure applied- more pressure, greater breaking force. The robust brakes do not buckle under pressure either- towing does not reduce the efficiency. Those who?ve tested the Denali predict that the brakes will be as good as new till the 100,000 miles mark.
Given the mass of the car it is obvious that the suspensions must be of strong metal with mettle. It may not be made of titanium but nevertheless, passengers traveling in the car are oblivious to the exterior road conditions. The stock tires that come with car are sufficient to withstand long cross country drives rain, sleet or clear skies.
A professional towing service need not be called in for help, just call a friend who owns a Denali. The car hauls another of its own size without the engine wheezing out. You can count on the V8 engine like you do on your best bud. It will not let you down, no matter the distance. Long travel is as comfortable as lounging on a comfortable chair with abundant leg room. The standard 60/40 split ratio is larger than most apartments in the Big Apple. The orientation of the seats can be changed by controlling the six switches.
Visit Master Buick GMC to check out the Denali Yukon.
