Overview of Essential GMC Savana 3500 Maintenance Needs

Bring your 1999 GMC Savana 3500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1999 GMC Savana 3500. 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Savana 3500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC Savana 3500 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 3500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1999 GMC Savana 3500 engine. To learn how often GMC recommends you have the oil changed in your 1999 Savana 3500, 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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1999 GMC Savana 3500.

Maintaining your GMC Savana 3500 steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your GMC Savana 3500's steering and suspension system.

Without routine GMC Savana 3500 maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
