Protect Your Ride And Warranty: 4 Tips From A Cadillac Service Center

As the 2022 Cadillac Escalade’s owner manual will tell you, “it is the responsibility of the owner to have all required maintenance performed” (p. 414). But without the support of a qualified Cadillac service center, that’s easier said than done.

Using the wrong products, trusting the wrong techs, or failing to adjust the maintenance schedule for your unique driving needs can void your warranty coverage, compromise performance, and cost you thousands of dollars in repairs.

However, while the onus is on you to perform all required maintenance, you don’t have to do it alone! Your local TIRECRAFT is here to help.

Read on to learn 4 tips to protect your ride and warranty, or contact your local TIRECRAFT to book a consultation with our Cadillac service center straight away.

Protect Your Ride And Warranty: Tips From A Cadillac Service Center

1.    Find qualified Cadillac mechanics

If you want to preserve your vehicle’s performance, resale value, and warranty coverage, you need to invest in preventative maintenance. But not any auto shop will do.

“Damage caused by improper maintenance can lead to costly repairs and may not be covered by the vehicle warranty,” warns the 2022 Cadillac Escalade owner’s manual.

This does not mean you need to visit a dealership, but you do need to find qualified Cadillac mechanics, ones who understand your vehicle’s unique maintenance requirements and carry the right tools to get the job done.

Don’t worry—with more than 300+ TIRECRAFT locations around the country, each staffed by certified Cadillac experts, it’s never been easier to find repair and maintenance services that meet and exceed Cadillac’s “Standard of the World.”

2.    Go Above And Beyond The Manufacturer’s Maintenance Schedule

The maintenance schedule provided in your owner’s manual serves as a great starting point, but be sure to factor your unique driving habits into the equation, too.

For example, the 2022 Cadillac Escalade owner’s manual recommends scheduling more frequent maintenance if:

• You frequently drive in environments with high levels of dust or sand
• You frequently idle in your vehicle
• You frequently drive short distance (e.g. less than 10km)
• You frequently drive in the city, with lots of starts and stops

If you need help creating a personalized maintenance schedule, get in touch with a Cadillac service center near you.

3.    Do Not Use Flushes Or Solvents Unless Approved By An Expert

“Do not have chemical flushes that are not approved by GM performed on the vehicle,” states the 2022 Cadillac Escalade owner’s manual. “The use of flushes, solvents, cleaners, or lubricants that are not approved by GM could damage the vehicle, requiring expensive repairs that are not covered by the vehicle warranty” (p. 414).

If you want to use any of these products, a quick call to our Cadillac service center could save you a fortune. Every consultation is free, and it only takes a few seconds to get expert approval, so you’ve got nothing to lose.

4.    Use Aftermarket Parts And Upgrades With Caution

“GM Accessories are designed to complement and function with other systems on the vehicle,” states the 2022 Cadillac Escalade owner’s manual. Using non-GM parts “can affect vehicle performance and safety… or even cause malfunction or damage not covered by the vehicle warranty” (p. 336).

For best results, you should stick with GM/ACDelco parts, or take the time to get aftermarket parts approved at a Cadillac service center. Your local TIRECRAFT carries a wide range of genuine Cadillac parts and accessories, along with a large selection of compatible aftermarket parts approved by GM. Moreover, sourcing your parts through us will also earn you discount dollars towards your next purchase or service fee.
