Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1984 GMC C2500 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your C2500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1984 GMC C2500 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years).

While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then!
