2009 GMC Canyon Maintenance

You want your GMC Canyon to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Canyon. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Canyon maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2009 GMC Canyon!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Canyon's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2009 GMC Canyon problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2009 GMC Canyon for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Canyon's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2009 GMC Canyon? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Canyon may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your GMC Canyon battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Canyon stranded. Your GMC Canyon could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2009 GMC Canyon engine.

Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2009 GMC Canyon.
