The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer.

Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Jimmy's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1995 GMC Jimmy problems in the future.

Overview of Essential GMC Jimmy Maintenance Needs

Bring your 1995 GMC Jimmy to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Jimmy’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1995 GMC Jimmy 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). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your GMC Jimmy 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your GMC Jimmy won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1995 GMC Jimmy's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1995 Jimmy. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1995 GMC Jimmy.

Routine upkeep for your GMC Jimmy suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide GMC Jimmy steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your GMC Jimmy's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine GMC Jimmy maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your GMC Jimmy engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
