You want your GMC S15 Jimmy to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your S15 Jimmy has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1989 GMC S15 Jimmy!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 S15 Jimmy perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1989 GMC S15 Jimmy problems later.

This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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.

Could your 1989 GMC S15 Jimmy be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your S15 Jimmy may need a replacement battery sooner.

Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your GMC S15 Jimmy 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1989 GMC S15 Jimmy running newer, longer.
