Whether you're buying new or pre-owned, purchasing a vehicle remains a significant investment. The wisest course, then, is to purchase from a brand with a reputation for reliability. We know at 3Birds Template that Buick is just such a brand, but you don't have to take our word for it--J.D. Power has just ranked Buick as the 3rd most reliable brand and the Buick Verano as the most reliable vehicle in the industry overall.

“Buick’s ranking is a demonstration of our mission to provide the best in reliability, quality and customer service,” says Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick.  “As we enter an exciting year of vehicle launches, we will show both new and returning customers that quality continues to be a top priority for the brand.”

The J.D. Power Dependability Study focuses on owner-reported problems with 2013 models now in their 3rd year of ownership. The Buick Verano took home the 1st place spot this year (both overall and in the Compact Car segment), and it's received awards in a few other studies as well, including the Initial Quality Study (IQS) and the Automotive Performance Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study for the Sub-Compact CUV segment.

The Verano isn't the only Buick to have done well in this year's study. The Buick LaCrosse and the Buick Encore scored highest in the Large Car and Small SUV segments, respectively.

So if you're looking to put your money into a vehicle that will last, buying a Buick is a sound investment. Call, contact us online, or stop by the dealership today and we'll help you find just the one for you.
