By inspecting critical components (like brakes, tires, and lights) are in proper working order, inspections reduce the risk of accidents and help preserve your vehicle’s resale value. For the best GMC inspection in New York, it's important to visit a state-licensed mechanic who can not only conduct the tests but also address any concerns that arise.

Why do the brakes in my GMC make a squeaking noise?
Common brake issues in GMC vehicles include warped rotors, worn brake pads, faulty brake calipers, and issues with the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). Typically, GMC brakes give off a squeaking or grinding noise when braking to warn the driver there is an issue. More severe warning signs include a spongy feeling brake pedal, longer stopping distances, or vibrations and pulsations when braking. If you experience any of these symptoms, or your check brake warning light comes on, bring your GMC to see the pros at NextGen. Neglecting brake problems can result in diminished braking performance, longer stopping distances, and increased safety risks. To maintain your vehicle's safety and reliability on the road, it is essential to have regular brake maintenance performed by a local auto professional.
Why is the “check engine” light on in my GMC?
The “check engine” light in your GMC can come on for a variety of reasons. One simple reason is a loose or faulty gas cap. Tightening it should immediately alleviate the issue. However, if the light stays on a more serious issue could exist. Visiting the professional technicians at NextGen can help you quickly and accurately diagnose and address any GMC "check engine" light issue. Our team is well equipped to repair other common issues such as oxygen sensor malfunctions, catalytic converter problems, spark plug or ignition issues, and mass airflow sensor problems. Ignoring the check engine light can lead to poor fuel economy, increased emissions, and potential damage to other components, making timely repairs essential.
Why did the information screens in my GMC stop working?
Infotainment screen failures in GMC vehicles are frustrating. Common issues include unresponsive or inaccurate touchscreens, frozen screens, and erratic displays. These problems can be caused by software glitches, damaged screens, or faulty wiring. Other electrical issues that GMC vehicles may experience include randomly turning on wipers or dash lights, frequent battery drain, and malfunctioning sensors. These issues can be due to dirty fuses, faulty alternators, or loose connections. A professional mechanic, like those at NextGen Car Care, can help diagnose and address these issues by using specialized diagnostic tools to check the electrical components and pinpoint the exact problem. We can then repair or replace faulty parts, update software, and check that all connections are secure. Fixing these issues promptly is important to maintain the safety and functionality of your vehicle.
Why does my GMC steering wheel feel loose or wobbly?
A loose or wobbly steering wheel can be an early warning sign for wheel bearing failure in your GMC’s tires. Other early warning signs you may experience include a grinding or humming noise at a certain speed coming from your steering wheel. You may also see uneven tire wear or patches on your tires. This could cause you to feel a pull to one side when you are trying to steer the vehicle straight. It is important to address these issues quickly as they can lead to loss of vehicle control, wheel lockup, or even detachment of the tire. NextGen Car Care’s professional GMC technicians can address wheel bearing failure because we have the expertise and tools to accurately diagnose and repair these issues.
Failing wheel bearings can also cause vibrations and noise that might seem like suspension or alignment issues. Thankfully, NextGen also offers GMC alignment and repair services to keep your vehicle running smooth and straight.
Why did the heat stop working in my GMC?
Waking up to a cold Clinton morning without heat in your GMC can be a chilling experience. The heating system in your GMC vehicle might fail for several reasons. A simple fix could be refilling low coolant levels. However, the issue could be something more serious such as air in the cooling system preventing it from reaching the heater core or a clogged heater core. Your GMC could also have a faulty thermostat, blower motor problems, or a HVAC control unit malfunction. Faulty thermostats can prevent the system from reaching your desired temperature. Blower and control systems help manage the heat system and circulate air throughout your cabin. If they stop working, so does your heat. NextGen offers diagnosis and repair services for all GMC vehicles to keep you toasty warm all season long.
