Overview of Essential GMC K2500 Suburban Maintenance Needs

Bring your 1999 GMC K2500 Suburban to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your K2500 Suburban. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1999 GMC K2500 Suburban be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your K2500 Suburban may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 K2500 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 K2500 Suburban) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC K2500 Suburban could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1999 GMC K2500 Suburban's engine run smoother. To learn how often GMC recommends you have the oil changed in your 1999 K2500 Suburban, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1999 GMC K2500 Suburban? We can help with that, too!
