1986 GMC S15 Jimmy Maintenance

Take care of your GMC S15 Jimmy and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your S15 Jimmy has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your S15 Jimmy's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1986 GMC S15 Jimmy problems in the future.

Bring your 1986 GMC S15 Jimmy to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your S15 Jimmy’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty S15 Jimmy) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC S15 Jimmy could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
