Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Savana 3500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2005 GMC Savana 3500!

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. 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Savana 3500's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2005 GMC Savana 3500 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2005 GMC Savana 3500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 3500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2005 GMC Savana 3500. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Savana 3500 may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 3500 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2005 GMC Savana 3500's engine run smoother. To learn how often GMC recommends you have the oil changed in your 2005 Savana 3500, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2005 GMC Savana 3500.
