Overview of Essential Chevrolet C20 Suburban Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Chevrolet C20 Suburban and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your C20 Suburban. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1985 Chevrolet C20 Suburban. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty C20 Suburban) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet C20 Suburban won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
