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. 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; 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.

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.
