2006 GMC Sierra 1500 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your GMC Sierra 1500 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Sierra 1500. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Sierra 1500 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2006 GMC Sierra 1500!

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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Sierra 1500 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 problems in the future.

Bring your 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Sierra 1500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC Sierra 1500 battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Sierra 1500 stranded. Your GMC Sierra 1500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 running newer, longer. See GMC's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2006 Sierra 1500 in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2006 GMC Sierra 1500.

Periodic service to the steering system in your GMC Sierra 1500 can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your GMC Sierra 1500's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine GMC Sierra 1500 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire GMC Sierra 1500 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new GMC Sierra 1500 radiator? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 maintenance.
