It doesn’t often get cold in Gainesville, FL but when it does you can count on a few people knowing just how cold it is. That would be Service Director David Linville and Service Writers Mike St. John, Kim Murscoe and Ian Roberts. For years they have operated out of a writer’s station in the middle of their service shop. Customers had to walk through an open garage door to be waited on which meant exposure to the elements for both customers and employees alike. Wade Raulerson Buick GMC recently began Phase 2 of a 5 stage full remodel of their 2101 N. Main Street facility. Phase 1 saw completion of major site... 

Mr. Morgan, I wish to take the opportunity to commend David and Ian as well as the entire team in the service department.  I have a 2009 Saturn Vue that I purchased in Colorado which has experienced very difficult to diagnose intermittent electric system problems since returning to Florida 15 months ago. I am happy to state that through the diligent efforts of your service team, I believe we have corrected the situation and they have restored my faith. GM should be proud to have you represent their products and to go above and beyond to provide customer satisfaction on a discontinued brand. Congratulations... 

For the third consecutive time since the GMC Terrain debuted in 2009, the smaller SUV is on track to end the year with more than half its sales coming from brands outside General Motors. And more than one in five is coming from import car and truck brands including Toyota, Honda, and Nissan. The GMC Acadia also continues to attract new customers to the brand. Like Terrain, Acadia is on track to count more than half of its owners from outside GM in 2011, continuing a four-year trend for the full-size crossover. Acadia has the lowest cost of ownership in its segment, according to ALG, which tracks residual values,... 

One of my biggest regrets from my time spent with the Chevy Traverse was that I did not have a chance to take it on a road trip.  When General Motors contacted me about driving their new 2012 GMC Terrain, I wasn’t about to make the same mistake twice!   As chance would have it, one my daughter’s top-choice colleges in Chicago was having its fall open house, so we packed up the car and headed out for a quick road trip. I’m guessing that GMC chose the name “Terrain” for this vehicle, because it is a crossover SUV designed to handle different types of – um – terrain.  In all honesty, off-roading... 

The 2012 Buick Regal can perform all of those daily duties with class and aplomb. It’s a fine ride indeed. But, really, it’s when you find yourself behind the clock, running late to a meeting across town, that the Regal GS shows its true stripes: Tiger stripes. This car is a beast in Buick sheet metal. First, allow me to backtrack. I hate being late. Nothing is more disrespectful than to show up after an agreed-upon time to meet someone. But now and again, we all try to do a little too much and get behind. So at noon one day, I found myself racing north along Interstate 75, one eye tracing the shoulder... 

“Nice car.” The words finally registered the third time the young man in the parking garage said them. With surprise, I acknowledged his comment. Then he asked, “It’s a Lincoln, right?” No, the 2012 Verano is a Buick, not a Lincoln. But yes, it is a decidedly nice car with pleasing styling, quiet interior, decent fuel mileage and noteworthy ride and handling. Arriving this month in dealerships, the Verano is the smallest car at Buick, where it is positioned in size and price below the Buick Lacrosse and Regal sedans. The Verano comes with a four-cylinder, naturally aspirated engine... 

In the New Year, why not resolve to perform regular vehicle maintenance? By spending a little time now on preventive maintenance, drivers can save a lot of headaches in the long run and make for a great year on the road in 2012, according to the Car Care Council. “Many New Year’s resolutions go by the wayside pretty quickly,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Regular car care is a resolution that will pay off all year, every year. It’s relatively simple to implement and the results are demonstrated in a better performing vehicle and fewer unexpected... 

If you haven’t made your New Year’s resolutions yet, consider adding a few from behind the wheel. A change or two to your driving style can make all the difference on the highway – and could even save your life. 1. Buckle yourself and your children properly. No single thing can prevent more highway accidents, injuries and deaths than belting in, especially for children and small adults. 2. Concentrate on driving. If you must use a car phone, use a hands-free device. If you must eat on the road, pull over for 15 minutes so you’re not balancing a 64-ounce drink in your lap while...
