You want your GMC Savana 3500 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Savana 3500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 2008 GMC Savana 3500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2008 GMC Savana 3500 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2008 GMC Savana 3500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. 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 2008 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. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Savana 3500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Savana 3500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
