Take care of your GMC Savana 2500 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Savana 2500. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Savana 2500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1997 GMC Savana 2500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Savana 2500 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1997 GMC Savana 2500 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1997 GMC Savana 2500 and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Savana 2500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1997 GMC Savana 2500? 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your GMC Savana 2500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 2500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1997 GMC Savana 2500's engine run smoother.
