A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1990 GMC C2500. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

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 C2500 stranded. Your GMC C2500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
