What to Know About 1991 GMC C1500 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your GMC C1500 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your C1500. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine C1500 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1991 GMC C1500!

GMC knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your C1500 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1991 GMC C1500 problems later.

This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your C1500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1991 GMC C1500? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your C1500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC C1500 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your C1500 stranded. Your GMC C1500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
