Can GMCs get engine sludge?

Yes, regular oil changes really ARE important! If you’re driving around with old motor oil, the broken-down fluid (and resulting debris) isn’t protecting your engine parts. In fact, it may even be causing slow damage to your GMC R3500’s engine! Routine oil changes may seem like an insignificant maintenance task, but trust us – your future self will thank you.

How does GMC's recommended maintenance help me?

Yes! GMC has written a maintenance schedule for your R3500. Since they made your vehicle, they know it well! Your manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule gives you solid guidelines for the frequency of specific services, and it can help you know when to replace certain parts before they cause secondary issues in your car.

Can my GMC repair wait?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty GMC R3500, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.

We’ll start with a thorough check of your battery, alternator, and starter to figure out where the root of your R3500’s electrical problem lies.

GMC Engine Repair

"The engine is the lifeblood of America. It’s what moves this country, what built this country.” That’s how one of our lead technicians, Alex, thinks of engines. And frankly, we couldn’t agree more.

Schedule an appointment today.

GMC Radiator Repair

The radiator is an important piece of your vehicle’s cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. When the radiator isn't working properly, your chances of an overheated (and broken down) engine go way up. Radiator repair is essential for long-term engine health, and GMC’s maintenance guidelines recommend that you replace the coolant in your 1987 GMC R3500 at regular intervals. If you have coolant leaks under your car, an illuminated “low coolant” light, or a higher than usual engine temperature on your dashboard thermometer, these signs could indicate that your radiator needs service.
