Here’s Why 1989 Chevrolet K3500 Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Chevrolet K3500 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your K3500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get K3500 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1989 Chevrolet K3500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your K3500's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1989 Chevrolet K3500 problems later.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Chevrolet K3500

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1989 Chevrolet K3500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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 K3500. 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 1989 Chevrolet K3500. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet K3500 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your K3500 stranded. Your Chevrolet K3500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1989 Chevrolet K3500 running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1989 K3500. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1989 Chevrolet K3500.

You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Chevrolet K3500 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.

A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Chevrolet K3500 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Chevrolet K3500 radiator?
