Buick Service & Repair in

Glenolden, PA | Briarcliffe Auto Service

Since 1903, Buick has held a unique place in the American automotive landscape, offering near-luxury comfort and features without the premium price tag. From the classic Roadmaster and LeSabre to today's Enclave and Encore, Buick has always focused on smooth rides and quiet cabins that make everyday driving more enjoyable.


That commitment to comfort means Buick vehicles rely on well-tuned suspensions, quality electrical systems, and refined powertrains. When something goes wrong, you want a shop that understands how these vehicles are built and what keeps them running the way Buick intended.


At Briarcliffe Auto Service, we've been taking care of families and their vehicles in Glenolden since 1987. Our technicians work on Buicks regularly and know the common issues these vehicles develop as they age, and more importantly, how to fix them right the first time.


Common Buick Problems We See


Every brand has patterns, and Buick is no exception. Here's what brings Buick owners to our shop most often:


Transmission Problems Many Buick models, particularly the Enclave, LaCrosse, and Regal, can develop transmission issues, including rough shifting, delayed engagement, and slipping between gears. The 6-speed automatic transmission used in many 2010-2017 models is especially prone to problems. Catching these issues early with proper transmission diagnostics can sometimes prevent a full rebuild.


Intake Manifold Gasket Leaks The 3.8L V6 engine found in many older Buicks (LeSabre, Park Avenue, Century, Regal) is known for intake manifold gasket failures. Signs include coolant loss, overheating, or a rough idle. This is a repair you don't want to delay. Colant mixing with oil causes serious engine damage.


Air Conditioning Issues Buick AC systems work hard, and compressor failures are common in vehicles over 80,000 miles. We also see plenty of refrigerant leaks at the condenser and evaporator. If your AC blows warm or only works intermittently, bring it in before summer hits.


Electrical Gremlins From malfunctioning instrument clusters to faulty window regulators and door lock actuators, Buicks develop their share of electrical problems as they age. Our diagnostic equipment can pinpoint exactly what's failing, so you're not paying to replace parts that aren't broken.
