As winter turns to spring, the temperatures rise and we get to enjoy more sunshine, but we slowly realize the roads now are full of potholes around Springfield, IL, and the surrounding area. Hitting one isn't fun, as it causes a bumpy ride at minimum, or worse as it can do damage to your tire. At S and K Buick GMC, our service center is here to help you with any repairs you need from pothole damage.

Whether it is a flat, bent rim, damage to the suspension, or bringing your vehicle out of alignment, getting your vehicle looked at after hitting a big pothole that you notice causes driving performance issues is a must. You'll know quickly whether you've gotten a flat or puncture as the air will go out of the tire. You should check for bulges or bubbles on the side wall of the tire after a pothole too because while you will still be able to drive, you might experience a blowout in the future. Not only that more serious damage could occur with a particularly deep pothole, which includes the wheels actually bending or cracking.

With our service center drivers in Sherman, Decatur, Jacksonville, Lincoln, Chatham and Springfield, IL know they are in good hands as we'll inspect your tires, make sure they have no punctures or bulges, and have the right level of tread. We can look at the wheels to ensure they are properly aligned and look to see if your suspension is in good condition too.

If you hit a pothole and think you have damage or just need tire and wheel services, contact us at our service center and we can make time for you when you schedule an appointment.
