There's no need to guess when it's time to get K3500 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1990 GMC K3500 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, GMC themselves. 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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your K3500 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1990 GMC K3500 problems in the future.

Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your K3500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1990 GMC K3500? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your K3500 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 K3500 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 K3500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC K3500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
