When you shop for a new vehicle, it's easy to focus on the sticker price. What you'll spend to keep it running over the years matters just as much, especially now that drivers are holding on to their vehicles longer than ever. That's why a recent USA Today article caught our attention. It reported that Consumer Reports ranked Buick as the least expensive brand to maintain and repair over the long term.
​
Ahead of Every Brand, Mainstream or Luxury
Buick came out on top of every other brand in the Consumer Reports ranking. It beat well-known value brands like Toyota and Hyundai and placed well ahead of European luxury brands, which tend to cost much more to keep on the road. For shoppers who want a premium experience, that's good news. You don't have to choose between comfort and affordability.
Why Buick Costs Less to Maintain
Consumer Reports and automotive experts pointed to a couple of reasons. First, domestic automakers tend to have more affordable parts when repairs are needed, and those savings carry over to upscale brands like Buick. Second, Buick is backed by General Motors. Because GM is so large, most of the parts a Buick needs are common and easy to find, which helps keep service costs down.
