When it comes to your GMC Savana 1500, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Savana 1500. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Savana 1500 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2012 GMC Savana 1500 maintenance schedule!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Savana 1500 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2012 GMC Savana 1500 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2012 GMC Savana 1500 and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Savana 1500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2012 GMC Savana 1500 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 Savana 1500 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. 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.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2012 GMC Savana 1500 engine. To learn how often GMC recommends you have the oil changed in your 2012 Savana 1500, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2012 GMC Savana 1500?
