When should GMC Jimmy spark plugs be replaced?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What does a puddle underneath my GMC Jimmy mean?

Are some driving habits better for my GMC Jimmy engine than others?

Is it tune-up time? If you usually wait until your car has an issue to take it in for service, it could be time for a new way of doing things, especially if you drive a 1988 GMC Jimmy. Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Jimmy’s power on the road. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, so you can enjoy improved fuel economy and lower emissions. When you get routine engine tune-ups based on GMC's recommendations, you invest in your Jimmy's long-term health and engine performance.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your GMC Jimmy

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to GMC Jimmy engine tune-up services. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up.

Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Jimmy. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter.

The result? Restored fuel system performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Jimmy can determine what kind of service it needs.
