When you need a repair, you always have the choice between your dealer and a local repair shop. As your GMC dealership, we want to tell you some of the most important service benefits you receive by choosing us for your repair. more Expert Knowledge Our technicians are experts at GMC servicing and repairs. Once they complete their training as mechanics, they get advanced training at a GMC factory to learn everything there is to know about all the systems and components in every GMC model. Once their training is complete, they focus on maintaining GMC vehicles. This training and experience allow them to work faster and more efficiently than any other mechanics. If you go to a local mechanic, they can't provide the same care and attention. Regular mechanics don't have the same specialized training in GMC models, and their practical experience is also more limited as they work on many different vehicle makes and models. This lack of experience, unfortunately, can result in a less-than-perfect repair. Specialized Equipment Your GMC contains many highly sophisticated systems, like the computer and its large network of sensors. These systems require specialized equipment to service, repair, reprogram, or recalibrate them. As your dealer, we have the latest cutting-edge equipment and software from GMC, which is designed for these systems and ensures we can provide the highest standard of repair. A local mechanic doesn't have the same equipment and technology. Their systems and tools are generic, as they don't focus exclusively on GMC vehicles. Lack of the right equipment can compromise a repair and potentially cause additional problems in the future. Warranty Warranties are essential as they give you peace of mind that if something does go wrong, the issue will be fixed. All the parts we use are GMC-approved and carry warranties that they work efficiently for at least a set time period. We also provide a warranty on our labor due to our technician's high standards and the tools and equipment we use. In the very unlikely event of any issue, it can be corrected by any GMC dealer in the US at no charge. Local mechanics use aftermarket parts in their repairs, as these parts are cheaper and easier for them to get. Aftermarket parts don't carry warranties, as they're not specifically designed or tested on your GMC. If a part fails, you have to pay for its replacement. They may give you a labor warranty, but if something goes wrong, you must return to the same mechanic to fix it. These are some of the many reasons to choose your dealership for the perfect repair.

If the usual clean, confident rumble of your GMC's engine isn't so smooth one day, your spark plugs could be misfiring. If you don't promptly visit your local GMC dealership for new spark plugs, the misfiring will lead to further problems. Look out for these symptoms of bad plugs. more Sluggish Acceleration A misfire is when a fouled or failing spark plug misses a beat and doesn't ignite the fuel-air mixture when it's supposed to. In that moment, the engine loses a fraction of its ordinary power. The worse the misfiring gets, the weaker your engine and acceleration will become. Coughing, Shaking Engine Spark plugs can misfire for many different reasons. The spark might be weakened by a faulty ignition coil or battery. A clogged air filter or catalytic converter could be restricting the airflow, throwing off the fuel-air mixture, and leading to sooty residue on the spark plugs. Most commonly, a misfiring spark plug is simply worn out. Whatever the reason, misfiring will cause your engine to cough and sputter, showing clear signs of struggle, and your truck or SUV will shudder and vibrate. Rough Idling and Stalls Weakening spark plugs cause misfires more when the engine is strained. This happens at higher speeds, when towing or hauling heavy loads, and also when idling. With bad plugs, your engine will roughen and vibrate more when you pause at stop lights or in traffic. Your truck or SUV might also suddenly stall. Slower Engine Starts Even with a good starter, reliable engine starts require healthy spark plugs as well. If any of your plugs are weakened by carbon deposits or age, the engine may become hesitant to turn over in the morning. Falling Fuel Efficiency Cylinders with misfiring spark plugs are no longer burning fuel as effectively. This means a portion of the fuel is wasted, reducing your vehicle's overall gas mileage, and you'll notice your fuel gauge declining more rapidly than usual. Black Smoke Behind You As bad spark plugs fail to ignite all the fuel, the unburned gas collects inside the combustion chambers. This fouls the spark plugs, worsening the problem. The excess fuel may also escape into the exhaust pipes, wherein it can partially ignite, turning to smoke that pours out of the tailpipe. Have Your Spark Plugs Checked at Your GMC Dealership If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, have your spark plugs inspected immediately. It's best to have your engine tuned and your spark plugs checked at least once a year. This allows us to identify problems early on and replace worn-out plugs before they cause harm to the vehicle's engine or catalytic converter. Visit Marquardt of Barrington GMC in Barrington, IL, today to have your spark plugs cleaned or replaced. We've been keeping the engines of our customers' trucks and SUVs running smoothly and powerfully for over 75 years.

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your GMC running at its best. As your trusted GMC dealership, we want to make sure you're aware of the signs that indicate it’s time for vehicle maintenance. Here are three important signs that your GMC may need attention: more 1. Gas Smell You should never smell gasoline around your GMC, except briefly right after filling up at the gas station. The fuel system is designed to be sealed, preventing the escape of vapors that could reduce engine performance or cause safety hazards. If you notice a strong fuel odor, it's important to bring your vehicle to our service department immediately. This could be a sign of an issue with the fuel cap, the exhaust manifold, or even a rich-running engine. A fuel smell might also indicate a potential fuel vapor leak, which could affect vehicle performance and safety. Our service experts will identify the source and take care of the issue, making sure that the smell disappears and your vehicle runs efficiently. 2. Check Engine Light Your GMC is equipped with a range of sensors that monitor essential components, sending signals to the vehicle’s computer. If there’s a problem with any of these parts, the system will trigger an error code, and the check engine light will come on to alert you. This could be something minor, like a loose gas cap, or something more serious, like an engine misfire or transmission issue. A flashing check engine light usually signals a more urgent problem, such as engine misfiring, while a steady light typically indicates a less severe issue but still requires attention. Either way, our technicians will thoroughly inspect and diagnose the problem to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly again. 3. Rattling Noises If you hear strange rattling noises coming from underneath your GMC, it could be a sign that something is loose. One common cause of these sounds is a broken exhaust hanger, which holds the exhaust system in place. Over time, rust or wear can cause these hangers to break, allowing the exhaust to move and create a rattling noise as it bangs against the underside of your vehicle. Another culprit could be a damaged catalytic converter, which helps reduce harmful emissions by converting engine gases into less harmful substances. If the converter is damaged, it can overheat, causing internal cracks in its honeycomb structure. This leads to rattling sounds inside the converter that can only be fixed by replacing the unit. If you’re hearing rattling noises or suspect any other issue, contact us at Marquardt of Barrington GMC. Our skilled technicians will ensure your GMC receives the attention it needs to keep running like new. Need Maintenance? Visit Marquardt of Barrington GMC If you've noticed any of these signs, it's time to schedule an appointment with our expert team. At Marquardt of Barrington GMC, we’re dedicated to providing top-notch service to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Whether it’s a simple check-up or a more complex repair, we’re here to help you get back on the road safely and efficiently. Visit us today!
