Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Sierra 1500. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.
