When it comes to your GMC K1500 Suburban, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your K1500 Suburban has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when?

GMC knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 K1500 Suburban's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1994 GMC K1500 Suburban problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1994 GMC K1500 Suburban for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your K1500 Suburban's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1994 GMC K1500 Suburban. 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).

Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your GMC K1500 Suburban battery. 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty K1500 Suburban) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC K1500 Suburban won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
