Take care of your GMC Savana 1500 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Savana 1500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Savana 1500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1999 GMC Savana 1500 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Savana 1500 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1999 GMC Savana 1500 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1999 GMC Savana 1500 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. 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 Savana 1500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1999 GMC Savana 1500 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC Savana 1500 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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 Savana 1500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1999 GMC Savana 1500 running newer, longer. To learn how often GMC recommends you have the oil changed in your 1999 Savana 1500, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1999 GMC Savana 1500.
