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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 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 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Sierra 1500 stranded. Your GMC Sierra 1500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
