Quality Assured by Buick Parts

Buick traces its roots back to the year 1903 when it was founded by David Dunbar Buick, the same man who invented the overhead valve engine. The company struggled and ownership of Buick Motors passed on to James H. Whiting the following year. Under his leadership, Buick went on to become the leading car manufacturer in America. Buick would eventually join the Whiting-led General Motors, along with other car brands during the earlier part of the century. Buick continued to be an integral part of General Motors up to this day, catering to the consumer who’s looking for something above the normal but doesn’t have the resources to afford a luxury car.

Buick became more renowned with its inception of their V8 engine version, which became popular with car enthusiasts of the 50s and the 60s. Buick also utilized the use of a grille, horizontally oval in shape with vertical chromed ribs and the emblem in the center. This is known today as the dollar grin. At the start of the 1970s, Buick continued production of conventional V8 cars that came without the “nailhead” design it was popular for but it produced more power than before.

Today, Buick, unlike its counterparts in the General Motors family, is not distributed globally. Their bulk of consumers are mainly from the United States and Canada although Buick has started their campaign in New Zealand, Israel, the Middle East, China and Taiwan. In these countries, Buick parts are diverse as they cater to their respective models such as the Century, Lacrosse, Lesabre, Lucerne, Park Avenue, Rainier, Regal and many more. The maintenance of these models can be easily achieved with the use of Buick parts in order to keep them in top driving condition. All of these models rely on Buick parts to maintain its class and luxury.

Buick parts are crucial in keeping the current Buick Models running. There are several aspects of the car that are designated for a specific part. For example, a Buick Century’s side mirrors will only work well with a certified Buick replacement part. Failure to replace deficient parts with genuine Buick parts will only result to a decrease in quality and performance.
