Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1983 GMC G3500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. 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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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 G3500's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1983 GMC G3500 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1983 GMC G3500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your G3500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1983 GMC G3500. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your GMC G3500 battery, and so can frequent short drives.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty G3500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC G3500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
