Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2002 GMC Savana 3500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Savana 3500. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2002 GMC Savana 3500? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.
