When it comes to your GMC Savana 3500, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance.

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer.

Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Savana 3500 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 GMC Savana 3500 problems in the future.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2009 GMC Savana 3500. In general, car batteries only last three to five years.
